tyr BELTS the Post man lily. It would
be amusing, were 1t not SO extrava-
gantly cheeky, to hear him whining
about the effort to "break down, over
throw and run-out" the Post, when
everyone knows that this same Post
was started two years ago with the
avowed purpose Of running out" the
ADVERTISERS. and with the open boast
that 1t would do 1t In less than one
year. Later, 1t was going to finish Us
up by the first Of January last; aud
now it comes whimpering around
with . foolish fiction born of it's own
evil disposition about combination
with bitter determination to serve 1t
rs It would serve others. II is simple
nonsense. The most evil disposed to-
ward the Post would not have seen
cause to be grieved at its prosperity at
any time since Its fingers could no
longer reach the public treasury, Its
nightmare about breaking down, &c,
arises, - we said before, wholly from
its own disposition. It knows that
since starting in Upton its steady aim
and effort has been to break down and
kill, not only the ADVERTISER, but
also every man in any prominent po-
sition who has had the bad taste to
fall to rush into the camp Of the Post
ring. and to transfer, either with or
without cause, whatever patronage he
might control to the Posts Golfers.
Consequently not few good men
have fallen under the ban Of the Post
and its satellites. John d. Shearer,
for instance, although when consulted
before starting the Post, he plainly
told Its projectors that he thought the
enterprise not called for and could not
transfer to il his official work so long
q perfect satisfaction was rendered
by those to whom 1t had been aud was
being entrusted, has finally felt the
force Of Its malice because heidi only
- he gave notice beforehand that he
would be compelled to do. This has
been and 10 now the uniform course OF
the Fost-sggravated by its editors
frequent betrayal In public OF his
own word givon In private-as when
he siandered = public officer with an
unimpeschabIe record. privately pro-
fessed borrow and promised him to
make II oil right" and then next
week repeated the ofiense with aggra-
walton.
Time and space At our present COM
mand prohibit reference to sever al
matters grossly misrepresented In this
weeks Post. There has been, let us
say No effort made on the part Of the
ADVERTISERS to consolidate with the
Post. In response to introduction OF
the subject BY hinasct, the Poet man
was plainly toId that II arrangements
satisfactory to all could be made, we
would consent to 1t. since It was the
general desire Of our business men and
those whose patronage IL most impor-
tant to apapor; that while We believed
such action would be financially
beneficial to both, and that 1t would
be better for the party and generally
gratifying to our town and county to
have such an unavoidable cause OF
strife abated, yet we felt that he him
self had the most to gain. and that we
did not urge the matter upon him in
the least. His course Was crooked a.
usual. Pretending to be very favora
bly, inclined. he sought delay for any
decisive action with motive 50 patent
that 1t was refused. when he at once
repudisted tho whole thing with =
great deal Of assumed dignity. and for
reasons 10 self. stultifyiBg that We wish
We had room to reproduce them here.
