JACKSON, April LIST, 1SG1

JACKSON, April ISL, IcOf.
+. NJ. YERGER, ESQ:
SIR-Leaning that you have returned TO
the city. l will proceed to address TO you
the enquiries which ! designed on the 18th
ult. in regard to certain publications III your
paper of that date.
In your editorial columns, I find general
remark of another writer, inserted by you
in manner apparently intended to
give If personal application to The Editor of
The Clarion, as follows:
''Dr. Martin prescribes the following pill for
the Clarion: am not willing to be clasSed
with Brown, OF Georgia, and others who,
having proved false to the South in its hour
of need, are now willing to barter their
birthUght for mess Of pOttage. ten.
viii T. Martins letter to Natchez Courier
In the same manner You have quoted an
offensive remark applied by another journal
to a wholly different person, and given 1t the
same application as above, and by lronlcal
inuendo, conveying reflections of the most
derogatory character, As follows:
The editor ofthe Canton Mail thinks the
''two apostates,n the Nicksburg Herald and
jackson Clarion are endeavorng to bling
disgrace upon the C0untrY,b an utter deser-
ton of principle, and hints very broadly
that 1.-THE little sugar that lies in the cup
had its influence on those journals. Now,
that Is a very unkind cut, and viii make
some people believe that these patriotic jour
malls have an eye to the resolution now pend
ing before Congress to make appropriations
for the benefit of loyal newspapers in the
south" Fiel fe Don't you know that
men who make such terrible sacrifices for
the sake of their country never think of the
miserable root Of evil-money. No! No!
We prophesy that they will s-c-o-r-n assist
ance from the National Treasury"
MY object in addressing you is to inquire
whether you intend to apply to me or to en-
dorse as applicable to me the imPutations
contained in these passages.
In a card subsequently published you
have stated that You are mot at liberty to
restrict" Your editorial course to" my dis
erection | am reluctant to believe that you
mean 10 be understood as denying my right
to institute enquiry concerning publications
affecting me personally.
Respectfully,
