The Literary echo, and Pawcatuck advertiser. [volume] (Westerly, R.I.) 1851-1854, 1854-02-09


this week though he has not com piled
fully with our rules this time; but To-
accommodate him for the noncc. We
waive this one particular regulation.
We certainly do not feel very highly
nattercd at the confidence he reposes iu
US. He acknowledges our wisdom and
discretion in Withholding his communi-
cation last week, and we are not quite
sure but that be would do So this week
if we should withhold the present but
as he seems so importunate, we give it
just as he wrote it, disclaiming all par
ticipation either for good or evil. The
man who places no confidence in US, of
course cannot blame US if we look upon
him with suspicion.
To the Editors Of the Literary Echo -
Everybody nowadays likes to be the
special object Of honor, praise. or admi-
ra.ion--likes to be distinguished, and
for that matter, it is presumed, people
are not very much different now from
those Of any temporal period. fWc
don't know what our correspondent
means by temporal period, unless, in
deed he means former period in con-
tradistinction to the present considered
as a spiritual period, on account of the
so-called spiritual manifestations but
the language is his, the reader must be
his own interpreter. But it was not
such motive that stimulated the COM
munication, last week, over a signature
intended to be Of plural denomination
not the view of one, but popular ex-
presson--but now that pronoun so much
used by eIotists will answer better in-
dication than that OF the former note.
| was pleased to know that the commu-
nication referred to was not published,
inasmuch as it would have opened the
wound which had bled too freely, caused
by little matter of +" Editorial Cores

bruised condition of our unfortunate Cit

nothing comparable, unless it was
vision Of a village visited suddenly, when
men, women and children were out Of
door, with mighty gale, flying hats,
bonncts, coat tails and shawls, umbrellas
turned inside out, with all sorts of squal-
ing, swearing, muttering and grunting
Some We're angcred TO cursing, somo
were confus;dly incensed--didn't know
at what--some contemporary silent,
some loud in demands for revenge, no
matter how, and some for scizing the pen
and writing something dreadful some
thing must be done. Well, now treat
ing the matter is very much like angling
in gutter, it is a subject, that's all.
But will tell you the result, A de-
lightful calm has succeeded the hurricane,
hats, umbrellas, &C., arc all gathered,
no injury to coat tails only an occa-
sional spasm y way Of recollection, like
the diaphragmetical catch of peevish
brat after achrymal FIRE. hct, remains
to evidence the past sorrow. The ras-
cally Editor of the Echo, Of last week,
is now the gentlemanly conductor of a
highly respectable weekly newspaper.
The gals of last week are marvelously
rubbed away by very few touches, and
rheumatic necks, [can't read it tendency
to acidty & general splenctic disposition
are wonderfully relieved, it not perma-
nently cured, by the same application.
Too much honor cannot appertain to the
character Of the gcntlemanly Editor, and
too much praise cannot be bestowed on
the same, for not publishing that piece,
by Popularis Well, up goes my hat,
and as loud hurrah as any can below.
here goes for the Literary Echo Of Wes-
terly we must have it; it ought 70 be pat
ronized, and everything Hattering is be-
slowed except the Zone dollar year in
advance " The homeopathic war, min
iaturc storm, has cleared the atmosphere
most Delightfully."-, and now the advent
of your newspaper may be anticipated in
our community, and our efforts to for
ward the amount will not be wanting.
We must be something yet. We want
to profit by the sage suggestions of a
five -miles-of village newspaper. Then
under the propitious influence Of so be-
nign a star, our place would be soon
spoken Of as having advanced from civil
