Yet Anotha Complimentary Notice.

ex ending 0 c a score of years, among tl' different journals that fell under our obser vaton during that time, we do not remem Der to have sen one containing language so foul, disgusting and outrageously outra geous, as we hsve found in the columns O the State Riglts Democrat, published d Helena, in thi State. At the time, wt called the atteltion of our readers to it, tc show them to what depths of blackguard ism, men who5ad been placed in control of public press sould and would voluntarily descend. If te present editor of that paper will turn to hi files, and read the notices there of both he editors of this paper, he will see that nt only was all courtesy lost sight of, but te lowest personalities were resorted to andthe most scurrilous language most unwarratably used The gall over- lowed and dppped from the pen of the then editor of that paper, as the venom drops from tn fangs of an enraged adder, mt of striking distance, So universal was tAe condemnation of this course that a change of ediors of that concern became necessary hat it was the organ of one mn-under bs control-Speaking his will an indorsinghis dictatorial, disoiganizing corse, was VII know wherever that paper WIS known. How often it changed editors we forget no7, nor is it material. We enleavored teshame that sheet into some regard for common decency, and haply e''o cteled Upn the accession of the differ enteditors, W noted their advent, and did soin way tat no man not predisposed to quarrel could Reasonably take offence at.- ltwas patentto every man that no matter vho might bethe nominal editor or editors, te life and sol, the governing power was the sme. ThoWh entitled to no respect at our lands, we yetwere mindful of the dignity of te press, aniwere disposed to treat the new omers fairly Upon the accession of the Hry latest edtor, we humorously and with olt particleof malice, gave him the bene- fl of paragraph or two. This gentleman, itseems, tool offence at reference to or any alnsions to'brmef changes, and actually challenged aleighboring editor because he alInded theIro Referring to these things an}in the bsS possible humor, we welcom- ed him accoring to form that he himself had pronounced au tat
 This being the case, judge our suprise upon openin, the State Rights Democrat of the l9lhsinst., to find that paper not only finding fault with our notice, but ac- tually setting itself up to lecture us about professional ourtesy. We have been su- prised-started- - astonished-bu never. in the cours of an eventful life, were we ever so astmnded as to find the State Rights Demcrat complaining of want of professional kindness. We suppose we must take it for granted, that the iunicr editor of thatpaper did write that article headed '>Anther complimentary notice, D at least he a,opts it. Unfortunately for him, he copie our article, in which none but iaundicd mind could discover any. thing but gool nature. Thereupon he pro ceeds to assume that he is deeply injured thereby, and, liter whining, shedding few tears and blowing his nose, he drops the injured and assumes the indignant tone.- Now, thought we, this man will show u: how to avoid personalities and to preserve the decorum Q public journalist. Alas the devil mav.urn preacher but as he comes from the pulpd he shows his cloven foot How do you think, gentle reader, thi, preacher of courtesy, this stickler for chiv alrv-this couitly knight of the ouill, set about 1t? Filrt he likens us unto the devil nay, gives it as his opinion that his satanic majesty is the better of the two. Next, he informs us tha we conceive ourself stinted of an equal shire of heavens blessings; a rebel to God ad hater of our kind; mak ing an infrmit,a once spear and shield; one to whom the sight of happiness is hateful and in whose eyes nothing is more loathsome thanloveliness, This is rather paradoxical hut}ecilelly strong and-gen, tlemanly, The he says he pities us and gets almost ash,ma of himself Then he likens us to a shka, anl gives us to under stand he may ltgh if we tickle him but we cannot make hh angry. All this is said in that peculiarstyle so easily recognised everywhere.
 We will, elseshere, give the author some nuts to crack ottry his teeth on, but here think 1t onr dntyto say few plain words to the irrate elite'. And we are moved to do this because h appears to have formed totally elroneor ilea as to our disposi- tion. In the irStplace he is correct in sup posing the compl plmentary notice of him was written by M Woodward, as is this article. In the next place, we advise him the next time he kttempts to lecture any body on want ofcourtesy, to stop before he shows how uttely destitute he is of it.. Instead of the unfotunate wretch the editor pictures as, the juior here is one of those easy going, merryphilosc )hers, who be- lieve, with Pope, tat
 "Whatevais, is right"
 Whatever the relsions may be between him and his Creatol he does not deem this proper place to hention them. As to being hater of hl kind, on the contrary he does not know ola single human being in the world whomIhe hates. Like Abou Ben Hassan, If not le who is blest by the love of God, he asls to be written as one who loves his fend men. There are a few whom he cannotrespect; few whom he pities, but none 4om he hates And the editor of the Stat Rights Democrat is marvellously mistake if he has pictured Mr. w. as an ascetis misanthrope or a
