HAUN House, Marysville, Nov 9TH
EDITOR DEMOCRAT Your correspondent
had a very hearty laugh, yesterday, upon
seeing a most villainous article tending some
what to cast reflection of discreditable
character upon him. And he would like to
know what he has done When, and what
the offeuse? He has never yet in one of his
communications been personal he has not,
nor has he wished to traduce the character of
any one; his position has been above indivi-
duals; it has been to strike communities ON the
head, and chuck them under the ribs with
the butt end of his goose quill. And if he
has a right to judge by the fuss that is being
made, he flatters himself that he has effectu-
ally succeeded in stirring them up.
That person, whoever he may be, that
writes the Express as he does, has my best
wishes for his happiness and good health, but
he has let his anger get the start of his con
ception; he has evidently not been able to
comprehend the communications of the writer
he so villifes. When your scribe remarked
that "this is glorious weather for the Ditch
owners, and that the bitches were beginning
to run fall" did he delude the public into the
belief that there were no bitches but those
about La Porte and that snow and rain had
fallen in no other part Of the country but
there? fso, he feels very sorry for the re-
spectacle editors and the public.
Now, teaching school is high calling, and
if that offended gentleman does not think so,
he had better try to obtain that same school
of which he speaks at 1925 per month, and
If FIVE or six of the young ladies who may at
tend-if he is good looking-do not put him
to the puzzle, it will only be because he is a
very apt and advanced scholar. And fur
Thermore, your scribe would announce to the
public that he is not indolent, nor is there a
lazy bone in his body, and if he is like other
human animals, he has in his composition two
hundred and eight, not including finger and
toe nails
And furthermore, your scribe would be
pleased to announce to the public, that he
has given in this State 1873 dramatic and lite
anu iAet0 "@" Si'~0
satisfaction to his audience, and been highly
spoken OF, and in all cases and places, been
treated with kindness civility and respect /;
and if he had not danced at Mons. and Ma
dame Rerfs bali last August, some three times
more than his number allowed, there would
have been no thought or wish to have treat
ed him otherwise at La Porte. This is the
SfigiR of their ofense, SO help him thou
flaming tallow candle that now fickereth
before him And at the time, he was not
aware of OVERRIDING, or violating the rules OF
the night.
And furthermore, let me ask the public,
When should the ability, genius, and talent
of an Actor be pronounced upon, before or
after the performance ?
And furthermore, your scribe would say to
the offended gentleman, that selling whiskey
good or bad, is a low calling for some people,
and after being engaged in ii some three
months, he had still strength of character to
quit it,
And furthermore, your scribe would say to
in a ball room, or any other room and as
for faces, he will at any time compare his
picture in little, or an ambrotype of full
length, with that of the offended gentleman,
and leave the decision to seven of the most
critical virgins to be found
And furthermore, allow me to inform the
offended gentleman that being possessed of a
piece Of property in this State, worth some
twelve thousand dollars. upon which there is
no mortgage, any Indebtedness he may be
KIND enough to assume for ne shall be paid
AND also any damage sustained by the edi
torlal department through the publication OF
communications from the pen of
Henry JACOB
