I It appears that the communication of "P, - and
the answer to 'he cams, in thu Boston Daily Adyer
tiser, has called out an article in the Bangor Daily
Whig and Courier OF May Both, from "a Merchant
of Bangor, who pitches into the Merchant Of Bos
toni as iolows.--sI wish TO dc ounee some OF his
stateme nts, and inform said Merchant that an avti.
Gle more heavily SHADED scsth truth than his would
have a greater efsct upon the business community
in this vicinity. should judge from the style Of
this Boston Merchants communication, that he is
not one Of that class Of Boston Asrchants appealed
to in the letter OF tina Bangor correspondent, r.
viz, irregular and honorable Merchants o! Bos7
ton"
Now to begin with, as guessing seems TO be the
order of the day allow tie 'sBoston Merchant, to
say that 4 should judge from the style ofTHIs BAN
gor Merchants communication that he Is one of
the sgners to the Bangor ci cular. and Is Whole

Dealer. Fer further particulars Book off OBJ.

is not so pare and disinteresfed regard for the
welfare OF the retailers he would have us suppose
Now that the people and rttailers of Maine have
taken hold of this matter and the tide Of csnsure
has turned rather stroags on the Bangor Singers,
the I'M reliant of Boston can bear the doubt Of his
being 'regulsr and honorable without large
amownt Of suffering, ON the ground 0. let those

IanThs complaint abont s'snyaq quantity of young
squirts with which the country is flooded and who

statements, are the great staple ARGUMENTS ofALL
the articles written to justify the driving ont

men are notzso easily imposed upon by you've

ask protection by lao, there will be but little ROOF
that the Bangor Merchants assertion is correct,
that the retailers may be s0iadled aad hanbugged

broksn-down merchants who cannot command re-
spectacle situation at homs.p The Boston Mer-

fooled by every body and anybody, as described by
the Bangor Mers liant land is it not insult to

il such a state of afsirs o5UID EXIST, is not the
remedy so plain, that whether the swindlers With
