For the Banner.
WKIGIITs BLUFF p. @.

spring, it was because ! thought you,
vent for Wesley and our Court House.
But now you has turned your coto.
and changed your briches, and it takes
u smart fcllor like myself to no Won
as the same Mister Banner. All you
has sed agin our Court House is trash.
and rs | hcarn one OF your Big Law.
yers in Su.nterviIlc say, is nothing but
pomposity in the ingus, and thunder
in the throtc. is it is true Mister
Banner a No Nolhin aud | does 90
agin iurriners and aboIitioners and all
that sort Of nonsense ; but | does no
e. ugh to blevc that nun but the Law
ycrs goes ogin our Cort House, and tn; f.
because it makes big fees and ceeps the
people q watin on EN- to git u chance to-.
pay en- muny. But what rite have YOU.
Mister tanner to say a word agin Clar-
indon? Thought yorc paper was for
CIarindon rs well as for CIairmont.-
But if you Cos to treat us like iurrincrs
in that way, why we will soon have
a Banne" as well as u Court House to
oursclis in CIaringdon, Why don't
you now Mister Banner that all the.
peplc i'll Claringdon is for the Court
House; and what does you want
EN- to 20 to yorc Turin Cort
House for? Why there arc my friend
Captcn Mosos Benbow, aud all the.
Benbows, and the Brooks, and the
liagins, and the Stukes', and Doctor
Briggs, and Squire Reynolds, and the.
kcllys, and the Weeks, and Doctor
Rich, and Doctor McCaully, and the.
Thames, and the Buffers, and the
BroSdons, aud the Guncs', and the
Biackwclls, and the Nelson's, and tho
L rk Black River, and Captin Gancu,
and the flarvins, and Doctor Ingram.
and the Richardson's, and the Burgess
and the Tindals, ard the Connors, and
the Meanings, and the Warshums, and.
the Gibbons, in Lower Salem, aud all.
the peplc, and all the no nuthins, and,
the rich and the poor this side and
tother side Black River and Puddir,
Swamp, spiciefly, our representative.
little Doctor Sam, who you no is u.
trump and a lcgunary.
Now Mister Banner I want to no if
the peple OF Clarendon want to cetcl,
a fine trout in Guido Lake or ticket fish
in Bruinten or PudLen Swamp, why
you should lorce Gin to 90 all the way
TO Clarclnount to dip for small kats in
the mud puddIes OF poco,alliger. o
Mister Ganner you is certainly ron
in this Inspect, and if ! owe you any
thing, send down your account to
rights p. O.,and ! vii! pay it., but don't
pretend to come over me with SIGH
contrap> HONS as these. Well but YOU
say you luvs us Mister Banner, is the
reason you can't parl with us. Well T
cant say that | luvs So hard or 50 much
as all that comes to, but may be
~oa!a, Is Evi all the fees and the
profits and YOU had to pay EN-. But
turn it this way Mister Banner, and |
am feared You wui not have SIGH II
monstrus luv for us. Well after all,
it ant SIGH u mighty partin Mister
Banner rs you wud make out. We
wud hay so much to due ut our own
Court House, that Your LAYERS wud
come down to help us; and if thersc
any of you We cant git down, why we
wud send Il Branch Of the Nourth E.
turn Rale Rode to fch EN-. But don't
talk yore blarney to us Ulster Banner
about luvin US too much to let us 20.
Faro scd the same thing to Muses., but
lie want tulcd by il and | want neither.
King Gorge Sod the same thing to
Gincrcl Waslinton, but he dident
blevc him. No NY dear Mister Dan-
mer if We was both put in the same
krib when We was little boys, and we
growrl tn large for it to hold us to.
gcihcr, think | wud show not only
! my luv but my purliteness, by getin
NJ an lcvein it all to yourself. If you
luv us then Mister Banner let us stay
in our " County where we want to
stay and il you Iuv the peple OF Glare.
mount clere away the rubish of Clarcn-
don Lawsuits, and let them have a qui.
ct time and a short turn to thcmselfs-
That is the genuin way to luv us and
to luv them, Mister Banner. But if
you luz the Lawyers, and | hope AIS.
ter banner you is not one Of Elm, or if
: you IS, that you is not much Of IL one,
Tor they ain no ways to my likens,
I then try to keep us together in strife
and confusion, where It's all pay and
> no profits, all ~eckspensc and no game,
all time and nothin saved, and the
Buzzards is the turst and the last at
the teste.
r Now hope Mister Banner you Will
: publish this as you done my letter of
last yerc ; for If it is true, why the.
: truth ort to be spoken ; and if It is not
true, then it ort to be %conradicted :
and if it be tn cckspensive to you to
print it., send down your Bill to
Wrights Bluff p. o, to my signitter
and it will be paid for as an advertise.
lnent.
