THE GALL1PoLus JOURNAL.

THE GALLIPOLIS JOURNAL.
The "GalHpolis Journal" Of the sth inst contains
a long TRADE against the Mail Contractor, for the
CLillicothe and Point Pleasant rout together with
some sweeping dcuuucations Of the fomcEpFsRyl-
ctor Of the cSTANDARD" and ourselves The stupid |
ity of the Journals" slang is only equalled by its
prcyarcaton. Ii one kind Of lying is worse than
another, all mankind will coucede that species the
worst which, while it artfully preserves the sem
blance Of truth, by inuendo and distortion Of facts
leads to false conclusion. Yet, Iieis no less pal
pablc, when clothed in language SO obscure as to
leave the reader to guess at the idea which the writer
wishes to convey, than if stated in language so plain
that all may see its fslsity.
The first part Of the Journals" string of slang,
five can understand it. is intended as fling at the
mechanical, as well as the editorial management of
the "STANDARp" All We have to say is that our
work shows for itself Notwithstanding the "OJScu
rhy" Of our "vilage" the Job Work aud Advert
sing patronage Of the STANDARD is about three or
four times as large Os that Of the Journal its sub
scription is larger now than at any other period of
its existence In short, our paper and our work
seems to suit our patrons remarkably well.
We might here not inOppropratcly retort that the
"Gallipolis journal" Office is, and for long time
has been one Of the most notorious Rat Holes in
Ohio. The appearance Of the Journal and the
work which il turns out as well as the fact that it
has to depend on charity for its editorials arc con-
elusive enough upon this point
The journal makes some scurrilOuS illusions to
Dr. Laird who was several years ago, the Editor
and proprietor Of this paper. The journal only ex
hbits its cOwardice by attacking one who occupies
unequal ground for the purposes Of rctort Th'
