Caudor cmstrains us TO admit that
thus far, the Leader has been printed IN
the lob rooms of THE CLARION establish
ment. Indeed, it has never been our
purpose to conceal that fact, and we had
supposed that all of our subscribers
knew it. The performance of this work
for the Leader, was not a "labor Of love
with us. The fact is, we have very
extensive printing establishment, COM
plete in every department, and we are
prepared, and willing, TO executeall jobs,
for men of all parties, in the best style
of art, and ON fair terms. We assure
our subscriber at Scooba, that We make a
reasonable profit, pecuniarily, on all the
work we do for the Leader. We have
had a business eye to the contract. This
printing has not only given Us some OF
the sinews of war, with which to carry
on the battle with Radicalism, but it has
given employment to some very worthy
printers of the household of the faith
full" We are at a loss to see how the
principles or integrity of THE CLARoN
newspaper can be affected, in any way,
bv the sentiments contained in the div
e ersifed publications which, in the course
5 of trade, may emanate from our printing
house.
Our business is, to serve the general
r public, in the way Of printing and book
: binding. A Democratic merchant, We
O suppose, would not hesitate 10 serve
Radical customer. A lawyer would
= faithfully manage the causeofa carpet-bal
client. Nay, doctor of medicine woulC
amply remedies, and save the WORTHLESS
life of the meanest of the carpet-bal
yermin, for the usual professional fees.
And, this is true, in reference to nj
1, the trades and professions. The matte
of the Leader is generally distasteful Z
. THE CLARION editors, as is abupdantl
. shown by their unceasing warfare agains
= that journal. Indeed, although it ma
SAVIOR little of egotism, we are free
: confess that we had felt comfortable 1
:, the belief that we had not come off secon
:. best in our tits with the Leader. Their
can be no danger in error, when truth
l., left free to combat it; and, surely, "
fe have been free enough in combating tli
y heresies of the Leader.
e, Now, although we we really think thu
~ our Scoobn subscriber is rather too sens
is tie about this matter, and wrote tn
% foregoing letter without comprehension
&c our motives and position still, we car
re not, for the life of us, get angry wit
IN him. On the contrary, his strenuou
of opposition to the Radical party gives 4
ms an assurance that he is made of the rigl
kind of mettle, and will always be in tn
of front ranks of the great liberating army
As As for striking the name Of this sui
ht scriber from our list, why, we cannc
9 think of such thing, unless, on seeon
es and mature thought, our friend sha
TO command US to do so. One subscriber
90 not much to The CLARION; but one sue
a subscriber is a host within himself
To JULIET, still further, the teInpestuou
~ feelings of our friend, we will state thG
m the proprietors of the Leader are recei'
n n new printing material of their own, an
ar in a few days-somewhat to eur regret
er we shall lose the " fat job" we have eI
IS ioyed for some weeks, and no longer hay
it the means of plucking from the pock'
