WITH this issue we begin the
tenth volume of the BRISTOL News.
For six years it has been under the

Fowler portion of the time. The
News has been the product of in
dividual effort, and has not been
aided by joint stock contributors,
nor associated aid of any kind
Few-vcry few, country papers
have lived so long, and they have
been held in position by means adj
vanced from others. We believe
its work and influence have been
felt, and that to-day it is respected
by the thinking community
There is not a shadow on its door,
step, and we walk out into the fn-
ture with hands unsullied by any
bad faith to its friends or any in
Justice to its enemies. That the
former may multiply and the latter
diminish, and that both and the
Bristol News also may prosper, we
i'll continue to hope.

and cowardly appearance before the

While declining to sign his own
proper name to the card which would
seem to have elected this Hypothetical
de.Iunciatiion, "A Voter" had plainly
told Mr.. Campbell, that ''for all prop

orable men the name OF an author
could be supposed to be desired, his
name could be obtained, and that he
(Mr. c. knew how and where to OBJ
tain it, plain intimation that, for
any grievance of which Mr.. Camp
bell, or any one else, might complain,
"a Voter" was ready to afford that
manner and measure of satisfaction
which, among honorable men. is taken
as the only remedy for all injury. real
or fancied
And yet, while confessing q
grievance to the editor of the Virgin
ian, he fails to pursue his inquiries in
behalf of his conceivedly injured
character far enough TO ascertain
whether. his cause of complaint was
real or imaginary, and attempts to
seek redress by writing to me, to goad
him to a resistance of wrong, which.
in his last card, he acknowledges thus
far to have no reason for.
The character which / had delineat-
ed does not seem to have been con-
strucd by any of the other candidates
as a direct reflection on their character,
and doubtless Mr.. Campbell's zeal to
Infer" such reflection, and his fail
ure to address me so as to be able to
resolve that inference into a positive
act, was, because he felt that, in truth,
the character thus delineated by IA
Voter described himself.
By such a course, Mr.. Campbell has
placed himself beneath further notice,
unless he shall seek redress for any
grievance at my hands in tEat manly
aud hOnorably way which is open to
him; for the man who has neither
the honor nor the courage thus to seek
redress for an injury conceived to be
done to his character, may live in the
contempt into which he thus yOlun-
tarily places himself.

pondence between himself and cor
respondent of that paper over the
signature of "A Voter"

anomalous request made by Mr.. Camp

he would not support the nominee

however, the confident belief that no

be nominated for Congress by that
