Ex.Judgc Murdoch, in the Press of Tues.
day, INDUCES in column and quarter Of
billingsgatc addressed to "a. P. Richard
son." We had occasion once to criticisc
the conduct Of this man while he was in the
exercise Of judicial functions and though
peace was afterwards made between US, it
seems that the wounds our pen made were
too deep for Time to heal. We did not in
tend to inf1ict such lasting pain but the
most charitable persons will sometimes
strike an opponent too severely and We do
not claim exemption from the frailtics &c
nature. It would be useless to say that
hrcc-fourths of the points made by his er.
Honor arc false, -thox who know us here
or in the place of our late residence know
that VIC never incurred the hatred or were
visited with the spleen Of any one except
recognized BLACKBOARD. We avoid such
fellows as much as possible, but like other
swcet-sccntcd animals they sometimes get
in ones path and an imprudent kick knocks
the cork out Of their vial Of perfnmcry.-
Our share Of indifference for such things is
large and we. are glad Of it; it saves US a
vast deal Of trouble and releases us from
social Identification with persons whose
friendship would disgrace us.
He who indecently associates the name Of
a stranger, 1--WE never saw the LADY, with the
wife of respectable man and sister to two
of our most honored citizens is a little too
coarse in his ideas Of propriety to excite
more than the disgust Of the public. Such
writer may we'll be left to the chastise-
ment Of an insultcd husband or her indig-
nant brothers.
The threats Of personal violence which
NJ. fourishcs are characteristic of a poltroon
and do not disturb u.s. Should such a
mode of attack DC rcsortcd to there ,eouM
be one ez Judge less, in Clayton County !:
we were never born to he kicked, even by
an Ass, without using means to learn him
better manners. The language " Mature
has given, you, sir, social qualities Of the
finest order beyond any man ever knew"
lin the drawing room and parlor you were
a perfect gentleman" would be accepted as
a compliment had not the writer proved at
length that he is no judge Of what consti-'
tutcs gentleman. But enough of this.
In our boyhood We once shot a buzzard to
get his quilts but the overpowering stencil
that came from the dying creature SO dis
gusted us that we have ever since had a
horror Of meddling with any animal Of
similar character. This is our reason for
touching this slanderous assailant thus
lightly.
