The Loyalty of the Argus.

na.8 vince the most when you touch them on
The sorea splt. vs. have unwttingly touched
the raw = Of our neigbbor of the .Argus, by the
quotation from bis paper which We gave last week.
Quite natural assuming it to be redeotion>upon
h' loyal he at ore flies into furious PAS
sion, and splits forth torrent Of low viluperation
and personal abuse, such as no gentleman would
ever dream Of doing-such as no sane man would
ever think Of ejeciing, 30 long as he had The
least reason for or justification Of previous con-
duct-suoh as will receive no reply from us. We
have no ambition to make the FREEMAN notorious
as the most vile and ocestuous sheet in Yer
mont" and SO must leave the .1rgw alone in
its glory" in its own chosen field of journalism.
Low bIackguardism is the poorest sort Of en- ar
gument, and IS one used only by fools or knay1s'
No honor could possibly bs gained by personal
controversy with an editor who has so prosttued
journalism as to have been more than oDcs cited
before the courts Of justice to answer for llbeous
or obscene language-more than once ften B.
I.cIy chaetised and whipped for publishing 'lan-
derous abuse. II Is only when such men assume
or are recognized to be- the mouth-peces Of a pnf-
