In accordance With: our agreement with the
reader, last week, we publish the subjoined reply
Of the Patriot, to Mr.. YEApos, on the negrosanec-
dote question. It's asnaughty production and
we ought not to help it along; but we are accus-
toned to perform our engagements strictly, and
the duty cannot in thisinstance be omitted. Here,
now, is the reply of the Patriot: &.
"Our friend Yeadon, one Of the editors Of the
Charleston Courier, is out on us with terrible
blast, for appropriating two OF bis negro aflec-
dotes. He charges US with "castigars riaenaon for
our appropriation. Our friend Is such .a.loose,
eaky vessel himself that we expected more chari-
ty md indulgence at his hands. We stated dis
tinctly, in giving the aforesaid anecdotes, that
they were communicated to us by friend, and
that they were too good to be lost. It is true,
that when they were communicated to u.s. we were
told not to put them in our paper; bntwe thought
this injunction mightbe nothing more than asiy
hint to do what We were requested MOTTO do How
long our brother editor had been inpossession Of
the anecdotes, we know not. SeveraIweeks,T how
ever, elapsed between ine communication and the
publication in the Patriot. All that time there,
was no publication of them in the Courier, aud we
began to think that they might be lost unless we
gave them poblicity. - sG
"We have heard of our friend complaining be-
fore Of our "incorrigible propensity" and we re-
member the remark of q distinguished mutual
friend, to whom these complaints were uttered,
that it reminded him very much Of 'stke kettle
calling the pot black" In other words that sthe
incorrigible propensity" to tell oil We saw and
heard, was about as strong in our friend Yesdenl
as it was in ourself We now give him notice
that if he does not mind how he deals this
witticism and smart speeches nbout his "dredmse
getting into the Patriot weshsh retaliate on him,
by publishing all of his puns last fall, together
with extracts from his doggerel poetry, whilst in
the Legislature We have already alluded to his
mistake about the mermaid, and his defence Of
Barnum's monkey and fish. he who iYesin q

In regard to the ncceptancesef the hospitality
of our room and declining thaf OF our bed, there
may have been % more substantial reason than

Adjust yourself, Mr.. YsADoS, and, having run
backwards somewhat in order to get q good start,
'come, again. Meanwhile, we shall amnse our
readers with your paragraph unfolding the Witty
sayings of yourself and Maj PERRY, and LIaeoa-
