y For some weeks past the Saco Demo
crat has contained moro or less articles
editorial and communicated, personally abu
sive Of US. Not being skilful 10 the vernacula,
of the Fish Market, and having never Learned
the refined graces Of expression to be oh
tanned in the Rum Shop, We have felt that
should we attempt replies to these attacks
we should be laboring at disadvantage ant
for unimportant objects, and have, therefore
generally refrained from noticing them. TIT
course we marked out as o proper one Il
pursue will not DO departed from. Neither
the yelping Of the ours who assail US under
anonymous signatures, and whose commune
cations smell Of the rum shop and the broth.
el. or the trashy denunciations Of the editor
Of tho Democrat, will drive US into what
seems to be sought, q personal controversy
We have too much respect for tho intelli
geuce Of our readers to think they would b
grati6ed with personal controversy, and had
VIC leisure to attend to thfusting tho dogs
who bark at US aside, which We have not,
We should not do IL. Some years since q
gentleman who had attained some reputation
as n writer, was assailed by yenomous critics,
who snarled at him in the most approved
cur style. Those Of his friends who were
annoyed by his Indifference and GOODNESS un'
der the repeated attacks, desired to know
why he did not reply. His answer was
"You would not have me notice that, which,
while Il amuses somo by It's noise, does mol
harm me. Il will be time enough 10 drive
the dogs away when they bite" Adopting
the philosophy Of the gentleman, wo shall
adhere to our determination, pursuing The
even tenor Of our way, and driving the dogs
away only when they attempt to bite.
