Squeaked and Sneaked Out

An agreement made between ourselves,
and The chicken hearted editor OF the DEM
ocral, providing that VIC would publish Judge
Wells speech delivered at Gray, upon con.
dillon thai he would publish the speech Of
Gov. Mouili's delivered a, Buxton, has been
b,oken by a Fl, Of faintness which has come
over the editor The circumstances con
pected with the making OF this agreement
and lis failure, are these: On Thursday Of
las, week we accidentally fell into conversa-
lion with the editor, in the course Of which
he said The Republican papers did no, dare
10 publish Judge Wells speech, delivered
at Gray-and proposed 10 test our courage
in the matter by offering 10 loan us the type
10 publish !, in our paper and offering a, the
same time 10 insert in his sheet as . condi-
ton upon lis appearance in our paper The
speech OF Gov. Morrill, delivered at Buxton.
We accepted the proposition mus, willingly
and made our arrangements accordingly
going so far as to fix upon the time when
the type could be had from the office OF the
Democrat.
After The arrangement had been entirely
perfected, we leil for a visi, into The western
section of the County, giving our Foreman
directions 10 obtain the type and use it in
printing the speech according 10 the terms
of the agreement. On our return on Mon.
day evening, we ascertaired that Mr.. Hans
com had sneaked out from the bargain, Civ
ing as reason in note addressed 10 US, that
we had said he was ia common liar and
Rbeller.n The note is such beauty tina,
we cannot resist the temptation OF holding
i, up 10 public gaze. 1t reads as follows:
Saco, Friday evening, Aug cath.
Ma. CowAS, Sir: have just read the
Union of to-day. in which you apply TO me
the terms " common liar and libellei." Il
can have no interchange as fellow craftsman
or ueighbor with you, or any one else, who
publicly asserts such falsehood OF me, till
words are recalled-and shall
govern myself accordingly. lgiveyou this
information at the earliest moment, Ia order
that you may wihou, delrmen, proceed in
the contemplated publication Of Judge Wells
speech, without expectation Of type from
my office. Should you deem this a ma,erl-
al obstacle in the way Of publishing the
speech, you shall DC released from all OBJ
legation 10 me TO do so.
