owing, we suppose. to the inherent de-
pravity and perversity of the class we
refer to, that very frequently our WELL
meant efforts are not rewarded with
that success we believe that they
deserve. And here again the Viz
ginia Enterprise affords an apt lie
Illustration, for in return for our en-
deavors to urge it to renounce the letters
which bind it in the embrace of the
vices we have deprecated, it assails us
with the vilest epithets, the most I'M
merited reproaches and utters accusa-
tions against us that it knows are untrue
and could only emenate from an intimate
associate of: the Father of Lies. For in
stance; not long since we published an
article which, though temporarily
worded, conveyed such homo but I'M
palatable truths, that the Enterprise was
stung to the quick and dashed into fury,
forgot its good sense and replied with
TRADE of calumnious personalities that
we're beneath contempt and to which no
respectable journal would condescend to
reply. Passing those passages over as
not being worthy of notice, we tell
the Enterprise that we referred to the
