The Low, silly, garrulous numskull of
the Squatter Sovereign yclept Kelly-the
contemplate, whining, blind puppy Of
Atchison, that answers TO the name of
/" Bob, Continues to pour forth his TRADE
of abuse upon us with unrelenting fury
We have on previous occasions expressed
our opinion of Kelly, and said with what
reluctance We condescended to notice so
low, insignificant, repulsive blackguard.
We look upon Kelly as a low ruffian, and
only as fit subject for nsaison de sa,te.---
We frankly confess that we have demeaned
ourself at ever having noticed the barking
of so lousy puppy; but our only view in
doing so has been to vindicate truth and
Justice, and to repel the vile, false and
slanderous charges preferred against our
city, our paper, and our person. The last
number of Kelly's mouthpiece is before
us, and we find in its rich contents a coll
unn of vile SANDER against us. 1t says: /:
E" We presume he was run off from Vir-
ginia for some dirty deed. and arriving in
this Territory, to hide his real character he
plays the moralist, and in such matters out
Herod's Herod."
Pray Kelley! tell us what causes, what
justifes, this presumption. Why accuse
US of having been driven from the good
GOLD Dominion" Sc for some foul deed 2"
Have you any proof of such being the
case? Why attack our personal charac-
ter without one particle of evidence to sus-
tain your accusation? While it does not
become us to speak in commendation or
praise of ourself, we must say-and that
emphatically-that the aspersion is unjust,
unwarrantable and Infamous, and that our
personal reputation in our native State is
bright, resplende MT and unsullied.
The Sovereign in speaking of our "lo,r-
flung language" says:
"He can assail no one but in the Ian
guage of the doggery."
1t is to be presumed that when we assail
a dog, it will be in language Ineligible to
him. We look upon Kelly as dog, and
consequently thought the " language OF
the doggery" suitable to the occasion.
The Sovereign grossly and Intentionally
misrepresents our language in former ar
ticle, by charging us of having made use
of the following language. "The Herald
says it is with great reluctance it conde-
scends to notice anything emenating from
the Sovereign since the absence of its in
telligent editor, DIR. Stringfellow."
We said no such thing, ard our Ian
guage, which it will be seen differs materi-
ally from that accredited to US by Kelley,
we give punctuatins ct literatins: we
spoke as follows, cit is with great reluc-
tance that we condescend to notice any
thing emenating BW FROM THE vIrUPE-
RATIvE PEN OF THE INSIGNIFICANT PUE-
RILE, SILLY BLACKBOARD WHO AT PRES
ENr PREsIDEs OVER THE EDITORIAL CON-
DUCT er THE SovEREIeN.4@a
In the peroration of the Sovereign's arti-
Gle, Kelley becomes exceedingly bellicose,
and gives us to understand he aUiU fight
This does not frighten US: if Kelley aoishes
to fight, and will designate some time and
place for that purpose, we will meet him.
We think it desirable that this controversy
should be terminated, and if Kelley thinks
a meeting most expedient for that consun-
nation, we are perfectly willing to make
a casus 6elk of it. We reiterate our pro-
posal: if Kelley wishes to fight us, it is
only necessary for him to designate the
hour and place of meeting.
