EDITOR OF TRANSCRIPT:
DEAR SIR

Afew days since, the communication
from the to the Tama County Farmer,
which appeared in your columns last
week, was sent to the Editor of that pa
per, accompanied by the respectful re-
quest that he would give it place in
his columns.
Possibly, cannot assign as many
reasons Tor making the impulent re-
quest, as he does for refusing to grant
it: but | did suppose then, and think
now, that Mr.. kenney, knowing rs he
did that his friends were daily maxim.
the statements alluded to, ought either
to have corrected them himself, or have
allowed me the privilege of doing so
through his paper: but | had every rea-
son to believe that he would not do the
one, from the fact that he had so long
neglected to do the other: thereby assent-
ing to all that his friends said in regard
to the,matter, andshimsef becoming 4
party t. the ailair-thus Indirectly civ
ing publicity to what he says, in reason
No. !, he never did publish. Though
not one Of its, ''Onc hundred and fit!
weekly readers" | did not suppose that
the Tama County Farnaar was Re-
publican sheet nor did | suppose its
very gentcmanly Editor would be doing
me Il flror to print what desired him
70, but merely performing an act OF
Justice which | hil right to demand
at his hands. My course in securing
the publication Of the delinquent tax
list was the one which the law point
ed out, and I ask no newspaper to de
fen it. however ably it might do SO.
TO the question which the gentleman
asks, with regard to lettin. the print
inc to theilowest bidder, h. will ind an
answer in my letter, which | presume
his Democratic subscribers Will not
read, t'hr can prevent their doing 50.

olarrels through Your own organ" |

It's Editor boasts OF seven Re,,uhli-
can s,,hscrih ,rs, aa.i e,li e4at;!!.tes him
self on his success but i. is extrain :
doubtful if seven righteous ones can
save him, his friends or his principles,
from the oblivion they deserve; though

l. h. at less to know why the
county officers d NJ; walk down u
Capt. kennoy's Office and subscribe for
his sheet? | answer for myslf alone.
The man who asks lnn to subscribe for
4 paper established through the inilu-
cncc of the men who have sought by
their base SANDERS, to ruin not only nv
public, but private character, who have
charged me, throughout the length in |
breadth Of tho county, with theft, and
specializing in county funds, does well
indeed to talk to others Of impudcnce.
On the day that his press came to
