EDITOR REPUBLICAN,.
DEAR S1R:-A Bourbon correspondent
of the REPUBLICAN OF last week, waXeth
exceeding wroth, because Of some un-
contiovertable facts, told In youl issue OF
the 18th inst, in calm, dispassiGnste
and gentlemanly manner, that should
have excited no one, had not truth pr01ed
too dseplg into a sore point of corrUptaon,
to squeel and writhe terribly under cir
cumstances of this kind, would certainly
be expected But why the REPUBLICAN,
and editors generally, should be abused in
his blind, senseless passion, in openinghis
vials of wrath against one of your truth
full correspondents, is inexplicible, except
that, in his utter mulish stupidity and
unaccountable Ignorance of common po-
liteness, he is incapable of deciding what
is due to gentlemen, from Doors.
But his logic that he tried to force up.
on our community is repulsive, and we
cannot believe 1t right to condemn FACT,
although it may have been told in u gen.
tlemanlY manner, under nom de- plume"
and yet JUSTIFY FALsIFICATIoN OF FACTS,
when done over the signature of one who
lays some claim to the title of gentle
man of respectability.
! 1t is strange if his "amunttion" is so
precious, that so great amount is reckless
ly wasted in senseleSs, ainaleSs squibs, that
amount to nothing but disgusting con-
tamination of the air with odors, and
hurts no one but he that sho6teth them
| off, and exposes the shalloness Of imbe-
cile intellect of the shootist; his disre-
gard of established customs among gen
tleman; his contempt of well established
truths, or wanton determination to fOuHy
murder the Kings English, without just
cause or provocation; and this, with the
aid OF certain pedagogues and others, as
accessories before the fact. Had an injus-
tice been done, it would have been far
e sier, and a great deal better, as well as
more becoming gentleman, to have
pointed out the wrong suffered, in an un-
Iimpassioned manner, than to have ex-
hibited such bad blood, fierce passion
and pointless donkeyism, without sense
or reason, that has gained only the smile
of pity, and called down the supreme con
tei. pit for the pitiable effort at annihila
ting the editor and his correspondents
was to cover him with glory, at the which
