A Little Mild Advice,

It seems THAT the Mountain County Hsragd had a
reporter a: the Exhibition of Horses in this Village
last week Now as Mr. Clark, late representative
from that American Birmingham, (the redos5tcbls
town of Winste1) engrossts the entire editorial and
reporting capacity of the Ioaratain Comfy Herald
beside absorbing mighty deal Of other ability,
which Iets itself off in squihs at all Heaven above
a!4d the Earth beneath. We presume lie is the au-
thor Of the splenetc efuson which puurs itself over
one mortal column and half of the monster pa
kes OF re Heratd. Now, Brother Clark if We wcre
hot well acquainted with your swapping turtle dis
t"sitlon VIC should say you wrote that article an
empty stomach. Parton Us, the Eaqutysr I'VE
an 8 enquiring Press il not SO! Did you not
here to Li;chtied without stifer i'll your
picket, expecting to be recognized as the principal
Lion 1t the occasion. ard to lie invited htief and
ththe-, to many dinners would have sultei
the editorial capacity of the Usr1ld FOL month
And did you not having ou;ld yourself meg unls
among the crowd. Of a man, notwith.a5ld-
ir~ your proprctorship OF the Herald, than Tie
+, dirtiest groom that spunged cut i. horse
leave the grounds, having lun your tate for
OF oysters, and hasten home, and pour out
la!s vi sour witticsm em;.nating from that
all lopperel aud disa3reeaOle iiom causes we
heretofore explained to YOU?
Eow, Brother Clark, notwithstanding your huge
agnitudt and po.dcroay the EditoI 81 The Ioaa-
lam County Herald, notwithstanding your Importance
AZ late Representative from the American Bisming
ha,n. notwithstanding your executive Influence ss
the head and tail, compostor, editor ard devil OF
tire Herald and your almighty opinion ot YOURSELF
Il
pous man. And We tell you, as we have done once
before that moral excellence hob! lar above the
largest literary ability. And when see persons
Violating the amenities OF life, ior any colsi,lea
tion We perceive at once, that they are sacrificing
the greater for the lesser To lie confident in your
endov M hts, is happy state Of feeling but III
Possession Of sclt-complcenry, ii Is not we'll to
cvtr.s,ep the decorum OF a gentleman.
And here, Thomas Clark, Editor and Proprietor
of the Mountain Cou,ay Haid, permit us 10 sut you
right upon few facts regarding this portion 1" the
Commonwealth, Of which you marvel ously 10
norant.
First, then-The shades Of those honored names
you 50 often take upon your pratins lips and ban
ter about, upon your rbaldry-dealihg pen, are no.
disturbed in their quiet reposc in the Village c2me
terry, and sleep on just as peacefully us though you
were not Editor and Proprietor ol the Nisted He'-
od. And these old hills resting against the cou's,
and bskng in the sunlight, are just beautiful IL
outlines and ajestic in 81 enath, as though tr;'
did not lit in your shallow Office and waste your ia-
paper and ink, in attempts to oyershaaow them by
Tn. everlasting subimity Of Wins'ed West Village"
and notwithstanding your apparent dislike at th"
proceedings las we'll the handiwor, of Divine
Providence in general,l tees will still wave in the
summer breeze, and rock in the wipter storms,
somewhere beside. than the Insignificant sand bar
rem that supports the Insignificant town, whose '"'"'-
nary is the Mountain County Herald.
Now, Brother Clark, We have heard 1t sail, that
you lacked judgment, were irnpudent, &c.-that
you pitched haphazarls into verybody and every
thing. We don't know but il is SO; but ii yooi'Ae
it, we shall not ohcct-but it does STRIFE us, that
this pitching into the old iron hills, and endeavor-
ing u knock down the solid basis OF the nousaton-
&c Mountains, and annihilate the whole Of the III
habitants of the Southwestern portion of Ltchiled
County, because they don't take your paper, is not
ONLY imprudent. bat confounded silly.
You have succeeded in getting yourself and your
paper into notice pretty Thoroughly throughout
tnc STATE. DTotDcI LAY u tht eU""'s ho'i1NH w"
the backguard Register copies your coarse Jokes, and
those viainous slurS upon the entire newspaper
fraternity. The Times and Farmer head their lying
apologies for cheap literature, with your witticism
You welcome to the notice, if You like it"s for
ourselves, despise such notoricty and would not
exchange with you, for all that you have ganed Tie
simple compliment tneathed from some chil'i's pa
per. which has copied from our columns a wayside
song, or twilight musins.
We wish you we'll in your pursuits; and If Tie
reading community of BalkhamStcd HMtland AMI
Winsted, are satisfied with your paper, VIC sag 80
on with it by all means But if in morals and
ynanuers they represented 10y your sheet, llcav-
en- deliver lis from being compelled to enter upon
their territory.
