MEssRs. EDITORS.

of last week, Mr. Boutwell,, appears TO be
greatly exercised in his mind on the tav.
ern question, and as he claims to be an
advocate of truth and christian princi-
pies, respectfully Y ask permission to ans.
wer him this once, in the same christian
spirit, promising to trouble the public no
further on this subject.
His advice TO the officers is certainly
a great production, and no doubt cost
him great deal Of labor, and legal re.
search; but think you did him great in
justice in the corrections you attempted
10 make in his communication. To show
the public how your correspondent can
write, when he is allowed TO speak his
mind freely, as the spirit moves him, |
will give the following article from bis
pen, as it was found attached to ray
paddy that was hung in this town, on
The fourth day of July, 1855.

The cause ofmy hangin is because was

Mr.. Boutwell, says | ought to have gone
the whole hog, and have taken up eghl
or nine men who were all on the same
footing. Who were lhey2 MIR. French
was the only one left out, and he com.
menced keeping tavern since court, and
Of course could not gel license until next
term, which he says he will do. He, Mr.
Boutwell, says we certainly knew that on
Iy two or three persons had paid for j.
cence in the last three years. Now il
Mr.. Boutwell,, to use his own language
would tell the truth, as man should do
he would not have made that statement
| will name at least six who have pail
in that time,t 10 wit: Frederick Showers
G. W. Whitman. VIM. Flowers, Frank
Smith & Sons. Thomas Garland of Win
chester, and Jacob Spencer of Berlin.
The only one who kept here without
license was VIM. Johnson, and he only
kept short time in vacation, when he
had no means Of procureing a license.
Your correspondent thinks that he i,
not much advanced in law. lie may be
mistaken there, for he certainly is but lit.
tie advanced in photography or gram.
mar, aud he ought 10 be little advanced
in something before he calls all the
county officers upon their feet to receive
n lecture from him as to the manner ir
which they should discharge their onicia
duties. And if he should be but little
advanced, he could call on Porter for in
struction.
lie ought not to call on those rascally
lawyers; that would be throwing away
money lie appears anxious that shoulC
mind my own business. This is all righ
and as he is neither tavern keeper, moi
the son Of a tavern keeper, as far as
can learn, he ought to apply his advice
TO his own case.
lie thinks it would look more like q
christian to 60 around warning law break
ers Of their danger. My reason Tor moi
doing this, is to be found in Mathew, 7lh
chapter, 9Th verse. lie appears to have
dislike for prisons. Some men do not
admire criminal laws and prisons. lie
is afraid the county will bo run in debt.
| was only asking certain men TO pay
what they honestly owed the county, in
order TO he lp il out OF debt.
lie does not appear to be far enough
advanced in law TO know that the prose.
cutting attorney lspaid by the year, and
gets no more dimes in his pocket Tor
prosecuting fifty cases, than he does for
five.
As to his threat that tho "Sock hicks"
would burn me at the "stace" if | at.
tempted 10 do my duty in future. will
only say, that the burning of herelcs is
not now SO popular as it was when his
"clan" burned John Iluss, and hundreds
OF others; and that the doctrines Of the
lnquisilon will not be likely to flourish
in this land Of Bibles and Sabbath schools
