+" AN FAITH" WE HAVE A g PRINCE

| In honday's Republican we notice an article
purportlng to be an answer to an article en-
tltied" The Wonder of the Age But what
an answer! 1t reminds us of an anecdote we
once heard, OF an individual who undertook
70 arsw horse; but lest the design might be

horse NOW we think if our &c Prince, had
not prndently stated his object, we should have
nardly thought it an answer to the article rr
ierrea to. He has denominated us, 6 St
George Il Co." Well, We have no objections
70 TINS, only we would have liked it better, had
II S0iile from some more reputable authority
we VIII call him &c Prince,'' iavorite name
OF his, and as Princes are of various denom
hatlons, we will leave the people to iudg,
whether he is of the sc baser sort'' or not,
Prince has said so little in his defence, tha
we hardly deemed il worth any further notice
and had it not been for some peryersion o
language, and what we believe spurious repre-
sensations, We should in all probability hay,
passed it by.-lle has went considerable dis
tance back to collect old publications which
| he offers as the opinion of the press. Now il
is well known fact that our Prince is more
notorious Tor his labors in the manufacture OF
! public opinion, than for tho manufacture OF
boots and shoes. This being the general opin-
ion, we therefore count these publications,
(like many other articles he has,) as worthless
stock.
The next thing we will notice is the following
extract:
~ ~ a. u, month q Aay 9i the oe, made strike

Not liking to detraud a man of airy praise
that was his due, particularly one whose
claims were SO small,) we took some pains to
ihquire Of those who were well acquainted with
tho whole affair; and the following is the re-
suit OF the inquiry; We were informed by one
who accompanied the committee. that Prince
did agree to the demands of the committee as
far as words went, but he afterwards went round
among the employers and advised them not to
give in. And we are assured that mainly thro'
his instrlimentality, the whole effort to get an
advance was rendered abortive. o, Prince
" thy sins will find thee out +" go Some will
truckle to a lie, selling honesty for interest
and do they gain They gain but loss-a little
cash with scorn." lie says st. George
does not like my purchasing number of cases
Of boots and shoes at public sale. wonder
If he, ht. George, was ever so wicked as TO at
tend public sale and buy any thing he wanted
that was going of eheapl | will let others
answer this Now We think, from his dull
apprehension Of language, that this is far the
better course to pursue. We do not pretend
to find fault with Prince for buying shoes at
low prices, or to set up n standard for him to
sell at, but VIC do object to him branding 9TH
ers as sc hrainless," who Scorns to stoop to
things that he would. But if he had not sense
enough to see the point, others have, and know
exactly how to apply it. He says sc This very
same man who wrote that innocent piece
against me, who is running over with business
envy, and luminosity, acknowledges to the
corn, that my statement as to how could sell
boots and shoes lower in price than others
could, that never made more correct state
ment Well, st. George, yon are not so
bad after all To this we would say, that a
sane man would hardly give our words such
construction.
And as for the compliment, it has the APP
pearauce of man striving to keep up show,
whilst he is writhing with the inward con-
ciousness Of mental weakness.
Though we did not calculate on finding the
Prince a man of honor to do battle with, we
had given him credit of being man of some
proves, but 10 how mistaken We find but
small material to sharpen pen upon.
With this view of the Prince, we will dis
miss him for the present, with this advice
that when he challenges collision, he had bet
ter be prepared with suitable machinery to
clear the track.
Baldwin 4 Day still live and thrive, and are
ready to furnish good boots and shoes at fair
prices. We would here say, that VIC have just
received an order for over hundred pairs of
shoes, and that too, from one of the Princess
old customers. Remember
