port into a second Oswego!
We contemplate no extended reply to the
above, nor indeed is it necessary. The
whole affair is suprcmely ridiculous.-
Wen put it all in nutshell and dismiss
it.
A Burlington newspaper published q
paragraph supporting to be from "Daven-
port neighbour" composed OF the absurd
assertion, that consumption never initiated
a victim here. and many hopelessly incu-
rable at the East. have found vigorous and
robust health after short sojourn in our
balmy atmosphere" with the remark fol-
lowing, that "the same paper announced
the death of young man from consump-
ton" To this paragraph we appended
few observations, beginning with the quo
ta,ion at the head of this column; not
knowing at The tine which Davenport pa
per had made the silly remark. but thinking,
we must acknowledge, that it bore the ear
marks Of .Atwill.
a communication, as usual. appeared in
the Courier paternizing the above lnJudi-
cious puff condemping the Gazette and de-

handed Us list of eight persons who were
initiated and died with that disease in Dar-
export, bu; as our remarks were intended

we though, the subject unworthy of further
notice.
Il seems that the editor OF the Courier
is unable TO understand how "iDjudicious
putting can co-exist with 'tiniiscriminate
fault finding" We are not obliged to fur
nish an understanding to the gentleman,
but slightly as we had hitherto thought
either of his discretion or Of his powers OF
perception, this avowal inclines us to think
stillless ofeither. Any body ofordinary obser-
walton knows that the two things may not
only be done by the same individual, but
that they generally 60 together. A man
who will praise without reason, is the most
likely person to blame for the same cause.
We state fact, known to all men Of any
sense or observation, ana II IS not worm
while to spend time on the Couriers "cru-
dities," however ungrammatically express
ed.
With regard to the editorial, which, It ap-
pears, required the tedious incubation oil
two brooders, we will merely remark, that
the editor of the Courier knows that the
statement furnished TO him by the illegal
gentleman" contained nothing personally
offensive, and all Tia. ,eas offensive icas dp-
pended BY the nominal editor himself 1t "
useless, then, for the latter parsonage to at
tempt to escape the dilemma in which he
has placed himself, by falsi(ying or Sinking
the responsibility. 1t VIII stick to him ike
