I"Forsonal which treateth Of Public
Sentiment" Cause and EHeot arising
therefrom; Faots, and the inferenoes
to b drawn from them; winding mp
with advisory remarks, in which 10 in.
troduced the simiie Of an lovers shot, -
whose application is entrusted to the
public in general, and the Xenia News
In particular.
| The Editor Of the Xena Nsics, who is Res
publican Of the strictest sect Of the Chase>Den
nison Pharisees, but gentleman ofintelligence,
thus dscourseth about matter which has been,
perhaps, unnecessarily patent here for about a
week agonei
ut seems that the editors Of the Dayton EN-.
plre and the venerable William Higgins Porter
Denny, (late Of the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict,) can't agree. We haven't rend William
Higgins, &c.s articles, but we know whet they
must be-. Wen wager any thing that he exhaust
cd the supply Of epithets in Websters diction-
ary on the unfortunate Empire men, the pictorial
edition Of Webster, we mean, for the venerable
editor, when irate, useth to employ pictorial
illustrations; in fact, pu blsheth an illustrated
paper, as might be expected from so illustrious
sn editor. The Empire complains that Il hasn't
been brought up TO blaokgusrdism, and doesn't
therefore know how to reply to William HiRs
gins Porter, DC Keep on, Messrs. editors; IL
you have much to do with "the venerable"
you'll soon learn enough blackguardsm to an.
swer the purpose Of half dozen Democratic
papers.
IL Is proper that we here state somewhat of
the trouble which has exercised our Gazette co.
temporary. The thing was begun in this wise.
We reminded the Aurora Borealis Of that sheet
Of his want Of back bone u general, and Of his
want Of spirit in not resenting the cuff. and re
buffs he received from his masters in particular;
whereupOn he endeavored TO be witty in reioinS
der. For the mere fun Of the thing, and "withs
out any hope of reward" we undertook to con
vince him thathe had mistaken his forte; which
the public appreciated, but which was, we re
gret to say, thrown away upon him. He then
became indignant; then mad. Not being con.
tent with making fool of himself, he must
needs make an ass Of himself, as though one Of
the characters were not sufficient TO entitle him
to the commiseraton Of the credulously benevoS
lent and the laughter Of wAgs Finding him
self gong down into deep water, he struck out
wildly for something-any thing-s straw-by
which to keep his head above the waves, and he
got hold Of our advertising cOlumnsl Here he
was again unfortunate. He objected to our
publishing Advertisements which he had him
self published, while member of the same
church as at present, and maxi; the same pro,
fessions Of morality. He has to-day advertise
ments of like character IN his columns, which
is proper enough. He, every week or two, has
advertising matter in his columns which invites
young aud old 10 invest in lotteries, and engage
10 gambling, which is not so proper. He is ems
gagged in the printing of bills for trat aling =
female doctors () who announce that they will
tell fortunes, will cure tie diseases of men
aud women, &c.-a job work which he enjoys
with perfect immunity to all of which we do
OF seriously object, because 1t is his business,
not ou RS. We only mention these things to show
that he has been unfortunate in his last resort
an attack upon our advertising columns 1t
not only shows his want of ability to fairly cope
with us in legitimate way, but his exceeding
indiscreton, in drawing public attention TO the
fact that he is both hypocrite and fool. We
do not believe that we could make this any
more apparent were we toiufoun the public that
the propretors of the Gazette, while engaged in
little war with the Journal some time ago,
called into the Office of patent medicine man
in Cincinnati, and proposed to insert his adver>
tisement after they got through with their at
tacks upon the advertisements Of the Journal;
nor that the advertisement Of another noted
medicine dealer in that city was solicited by
them aud not obtainedl
We have deemed this much due those who
had not got the hang Of the little squibs which
have appeared in the Empire for few days
past, and for the enlightment Of our Xenia CO.
temporary. We shall not again refer to the
matter lengthly or ser ously; and we close now
with the hope (Which we are free to admit we
have not any very good ground for) that our
cOtemporary will see the necessity Of closing
down on his old "Over.shOt" until he gets
enough water ahead to at least give one clean
evolution Of his rickelty old wheel.
