NR. EDIToE:-I see that one column Of the
/ EPdblicEn, Of last week, is'aevoted to a reply
to my article in your paper Of the 2lst ult.
which, As you and your readers will remsmber
was in answer to Hatton's editorial, headed
, "Our County Auditor"
Now. Mr.. Editor, ii we're proof against mu-
fish insult. and gFisly villimy, would pass his
reply with the same hurried glance that wo'd
pass the ldtIei, poisonous spssO Of stomach sur
feited with deadly rottenness. But being afFec-
/ ted by that sensitivencss which belongs not to
brutes, am driven again to the disgrace of even
writing the least in respect to him or his reply
What ninsult to humanity that he walks on
: t,c0s.
| Twill not consume my time so SnPCo6tahy
as to notice the whole Of his reply in detail,
when can do it full justice by pronouncing the
greater portion (snd by this mean all in which
he could well ie) as false as the editor oho pennel
ii, and iffalsencss has more illustriouS super
lative than Dick Hatton, he's the man to restore
BarnumS solvency.
What said in my article Of the 2lst ult., /
still say, and now re-indorse. Let those who
want to know what / have already said,
read that article and they can at once Sec and
understand the true grounds of my whole con-
duct in the matter Of dispute. All ask is an
impartial, sober examination, and fear not the
judgment ofths Commissioners or of the people.
/ am we'll pleased to see that the editor un-
derstand enough oflogic, to feel and to know
that /, in my first article, proved that it is he
and not I, that is politically dead. knew that
could prove it; all l wanted was the opportu-
nifty. If traitorism inflicts political death and
you, Dick, still live, tell me by what Internal
,oitchery it is SO. 1t would take the sorcery Of
Arbaces to accomplish as great wonder.
Let the reader look at his charges of corrup-
ton against me and then blush for the editors
unparalleled impundence A man, ask pardon,
u thing that is SO corrupt himself that the filthy
slimy stomach Of the earth worm would puke
him forth as nariouS carcass, say such a man,
or thing to talk Of other peoples corruption, is
enough astonishmcnt to knock down an Alge-
rine pirate.
I would Just say to you Mr.. IIatton, that
when ran for township office was elected
wonder if you could get the supervisorship Of
some one of our back alleys; tcoun yon like a
State cgice? Dick, take my advice and rid your
self Of your Unsuitable appetite for falSchood.--
No longer roll it, as you would sweet morseI,
under your tongue. Cease to feed on it, and tho
it may rob your articles of their lying Jvt'ess;
yet you would be happier, a better and a
more prosperous man.
Keep your promise to leave ms in the hands
Of the Commissioners. Are you afraid to let
them and the people determine this matter?--
Are you afraid to leave me in the hands of men,
whom I, and all others regard as gentlemen and
we'll wishers of the public good and peace? Men
in whose love Of doing whatever they think their
duty, have all confidence.
by a0ay Of improvement, Dick says as my term
ofoftice is drawing to close he's disposed to
let the poor devil slide" The Devil may be a
poor man, Dick, but a Falstag's tat,,ess will he
be when he gets yon in his pounch.
Finally, let my readers not think that what
ever in the foregoing article seems hard and Bit
ter is unprovoked. WIN. S. GRANFELL.
