To TIE EDITOR OF THE NEW YONK HERALD

deIhia North Americdn and United S5tes Gazette, written
in to two articles published in that paper June
2eh last That paper has not taken the slightest notice
Of the article but has continued to publish the most
savage articles Missouri When ! consider the peg
lecy temperate language Of the article ITSELF with the
fact that requested their editor to forward the bin
for s insertion and also that my statements were qua
raneed by my signature thereby relieving the paper from
al responsibility, feoIsomewhat indignant.
Missouri trades with Philadelphia to the amount Of
several millions annually myself buy largely Of phl'
dohia manufactured goods and had right to be heard
vixen the leading paper of that city almost daily brands
the citizens of my State border ruiians, applying
to them every term for rascay and yillany that the
English language can supply; and when replied to their
the most fastidous aboonist cannot complain OIL
other for their refusal than that they
afraid to publish it. The facts too true and
abebut published they shall be- and that too
where they will have the largest circulation.
