Of nothing that have done to call down
upon me nearly column of low and vul,
gar abuse and vituperation from the pen Of
one L!gnotius Maaingly. Do you? Oh
does any one? Not longer ago than last
Saturday evening week, he approached NE
at Pershing's Drug Store, in presence Of
one Of the firm, and with extended hand
very cordially bid us the time O. day, and
apparently one of the most social crea-
lures in the world--alked about matters
and things in general, and especially about
an extraordinary effort made on the part OF
Republicans ofihiS city to get him to meye
here, as he could root John Dawson out;
that if he should g !. shack at him once,
he could fix him, -, &c.,-all in sch
gusto, with his usual snarling. self-con-
ceited, and unmeaning countenance, and
with his nose turned up as though he was
hunting some appropriate place to put it
perhaps in somebody's business, and really
from its appearance, it had been there AT
ter all this, and having seen his last paper,
| should not be astonished to yet learn to
certainty that there is considerable of the
base hypocrte about him.
He seems to be considerably troubled
about an item l had clipped from an lndi-
ana paper in my last letter, in relation to
the negroes in Canada, and intimaied that
| got il from no such source. If the stu
pid old fool will take the trouble to exam
Inc tho files Of the Columbia City News,
about the time my letter was written con
tanning the extract, he can find another
jYst like it in that paper. His illusions to
nv former habits, and inlimation TO refor-
nations, &c..--in fact his whole article,
with an eye to the necessity for it--shows
rather conclusively that he simply wanted
tilt at me anyhow. Why it is, / am I'M
able to divine, unless il is because he sent
for "Mose Canary 5irdst"
Upon inquiry | can find no person Tat
ever wanted Mattingly here. Even Bill
Hoffman himself evinces no particular an
xety. He concludes there are enough Of
his color here already. Under all the cir
cumstances am rather inclined to believe
he lied about it, and that there is no prob.
ability of his ever locating here. unless the
Sheriff of Marshall County may have occa-
sion. in his official capacity, to bring him
here. which is not at all imp, obable, if be
gets his just deserts.
His illusions to my experience as u
practical ANAL gamationist," was the most
unfortunate Gu. of all, and for his sake and
the sake of the Editorial fraternity gener-
ally, this thing has been kept a most pro
found secret; but by some slip of the
tongue or other unavoidable accident, he
has become unfortunately too familiar with
correct knowledge of his ancestry. for
when b was SO unfortunate as to fall in to
the embraces--not embraces either--but
snares of practical amalgamation,' Mat
ngly--poor soul--was the only illegili-
mate offspring. So sure as one position is
true. the other is also. This too may have
something TO do with his bitter and un-
ceasing opposition to the fugitive slave law,
and ni:.v. to a certain extent, account for
the peculiar snaps of his face and nose,
especially when he hears any ore speak Of
kidnapping, &C.. DC. .a
But the truth is l believe he willfully
lies when he intimates that anything of the
kind IS the fact, and If he should say so,
know he lies. Besides, he never heard of
any such charge, but it was conceived and
nurtured in his corrupt and rotten brain.
