The Messenger and the Iron Foundry
Tho last shot has been fred, and like
those which preceded it, has done no harm.
No one has been influenced to withdraw
their patronage from our Foundry. Still
we continue to manufacture engines, mill
machinery and all descriptions of castings.
Orders for work are still coming in. Our
lathes and planning machine still continue to
run. Iron will still melt in our cupalo, and
all things move on as usual, and VIC don't
yet advertise wiM the Messenger. How
long things will work on in their wonted
course, can best be told when the "New
York and Boston friends" arrive. What the
" New York friends" may do, we cannot
even conjecture; but as to the Boston
friends" we have recently learned, through |
the Messenger, what to expect to witt
Highway robbery, for the editor of that pa
per has told us that "nothing else is to be
expected from the .fanatical God5orsaken
place" Now, as the editor speaks author-
lively 1--WE presume) on this subject we
have no fears of his associates from the lat
ter place injuring our business in the least,
and to prevent being robbed by them, we
will, at the first announcement from
the editor of the arrival of his friends,
apply to the proper authorities to have
them secured in some safe place on the hill,
where the editor may have an opportunity of
renewing his acquaintance with them
. Judging from the character of the "Boston
friends" as given by the editor himself, and
applying the old maxim that man is
known by the company he keeps, our only
fear from the "New York friends" is that
they, like the editor, would pick our pock-
: cts had they chance-not that he, like
! them, would meet us in the street and
:, attempt to force our money from us, but in
:. . manner fully as mean, attack us through
=. his paper for the purpose of forcing us to de-
:. liver our money to him without an equiva-
lent But as his base attack upon us has
proved harmless, so will that of his "friends.'
, We would not wantonly exasperate tho
feelings of either the editor or his 'friends,
nor make his punishment greater than hi.
