BE not witness against thy neghor without cause
and deceive not with thy lips,-Fru. A2iv, 90.
There are many persons, yea most Of them
We believe, living around, about, and with us,
who eschew pickering as they would boodshed,
who wish to pursue the 50 even tenor of their
way" live IN harmony with their neighbors,
aud remain likewise unmolested. Those whose
province it is to wrangle, they wish no COM
munication with, and ardently pray for their
ostracatiou from society.
II has been, it is now, and ever will be, that
here amid the green spots Of this earth of ours,
solitary individuals will be found who proudly
emulate themselves over the weaknesses Of
others, who weighed in the moral scales of
Justice are vastly superior to them.
Summer hath dUnned her yernal garb, and
now, il never before, our little place is beau
tiiul, lovely as the fair ones whom the mlnor-
tai Day Time haiti wrought his frey soul into
tempest striving to vindicate; and we love
with others to see notices given innocently now
and then of the advancement Of her enter
prising mechanical genius mechanical genius,
OF her industrious population, 50 fair ladies and
proud men, but we dispise this jealous spirit
MS we do the source from which it emanates,
which for its own sensual emolument slangers
innocent and unpretending ones.
Thinking we have the same right to step in
the arena that Daytime has to lay foul hold
of Defender, we will with kind forbearance
talk little concerning tho matter. Without
siding with Defender VS.. Young America OF
any other alias, we desire to ask who this Day
limo is who smells of wax, wax 2 Does he
| draw &c end, p or is he headed with the soft
subStance2
Verify and of truth, as he knoweth De-
fender, we know him far better, and not only
spot, but clip and shear brand and double
cross his sleek hide. We throw the gauntlet
down and dare him to combat. Ignorant and
puerile, he rusheth to battle as the unthinking
horse, but Defender hath nerve to withstand
his bombast.
If any thing is disgusting, and merits the
Just indignation OF q refined and free people
il is this petty ambition for literary prcierment
If any thing makes man small in the eyes OF
his fellows, it is this trivial surmising shrewd-
ness OF the tongue when the mind gives it the
lie. If any thing is ridiculous, it is knowing
man about town.
Now this man about town is as 1--WE know
him,) foolish an individual as one ever saw
In fact we havo two, both pretty large and boil
extra fast know everything, every one and al
persons, what this ones business is, who tina
one goes to see, and who Mr.. B. is going Il
shoot for undue attention.
! We wish to say few words in reference t.
Defender He does not hail from Nh
, he works; he has no wax only that which vii
! wax some of those who sadly need It'll looks
at no married women as your humble scryan
doth; is not fat and never lived in town in hi
: life. On the other hand, Daytime is the per
! lection of consistency, affable, courteous il
manner, and philanthropic in his feelings, h
! fears no comet, but will fear come up.
, From the coure he is pursuing leads nun
bers to sappose that Defender is one OF seyera
! youngsters who move among us, and is yer
I angry because Young America took the precc
i dence Of himselfi but he mistakes Defender.
! We are sorry to think that this mans pcne
tration extends no farther that notable as h
i. T is, he possesses no nicer sense Of discrimina
ton.
We shudder at the vortex before him, an
: reverse the trite adage by saying Dead me
will tell tales" Now, with a boaster, fctio
and cowardice are Synonymous terms, and De
fender need not fear his showing up. Pick tn
beam from thy own eye. 2EEE.
