Holding myself responsible in any way,

No. 223 Madison Street, BALTIC.
So endeth the correspondence, and we have
but short work to do now with Mr.. Cuttings.
His case stands thus: Our correspondent stig-
matisrs him as a BLACKBOARD and Jlasphemer.
He writes to us that he does not intend to
submit to such language, and demands the
name of the author. His letter is polite
enough, and we reply to him in terms as
polite as the message to be conveyed would
permit, substantially that he deserved the
insulting epithcts applied TO him and that We
would not give him any satisfaction in regard
TO the author. After abundant time for our
letter to have reached him and after it did
reach him, lie mails us the note. which he
says he also mailed TO the Cecil Democrat, in
which note he tells deliberate lie in order
to excuse the use of the language which he
intends to DC offensive, but which is used by
him at period after he has received the APP
plication of insulting epithets for which ~e
became responsible to him by refusing to
give up our correspondent, and from which
insult he can find no relief in the use of any
opprobous terms. His contemplate lie that
he received 10 reply from us stamps him as
knare, and the bandying back of insulting
language after starting out that he didn't
intend to submit to that which had been
applied to him, shows him to be fool, if
nothing worse. Even if he didn't lie, and
had as he says, received no answer from u.s.
his remedy could not be that to which he has
resorted and which proves him the particular
fool we have written him.
We have said we have no knowledge of
this W. s. Cuttings, except such as grows
out of this affair, and our recent enquiries in
this relation establish the following facts ::
That he made scurrilous and scoundrely
speech at Port Deposit: That he was drunk
when he made it: That he carried his Jug
with him, and to the scandel of even the
Democracy, sucked his whiskey out of it
publicly about the meeting: That he was
accosted by members of the American party
and denounced by them as a common liar on
account of the assertions made in his
harangue, to all which he submitted with
the due patience of coward: That promi
ncnt members of his own party at Port
Deposit repudlated his speech, saying that
he..for ced himself on them without invitation
and that neither themselves or their party
! were to be held accountable for his black
guardism. Such. and that which his letters
convey, is all the knowledge we have of him,
and with this knowledge we let him pass as
incapable of provoking anger or enga cling our
further attention. As he has sought notoretv
by publishing himself in The Cecil Democrat.
he should feel doubly obliged to us for giving
his mastery production with the comments, J
in The Wing, through which it will reach
double the number of readers.
