A few words to those who try 10 bend
every person to the interest of Newark
College and all whom they cannOt warp
or bend they insult. have known their
policy of getting money for long time
before they got their lick-spittle, coon
and ape-headed squirt and newspaper
Ledger to SANDER all persons who would
not bend to their policy, for they well
know their pr position TO the late Legis-
lature was all indirect offer of bribe for
what right had one IN. mber TO select one
boy out of his Hundred ard appropriate
$500 year out the taxpayers pockets
TO educate him, and they did not care If
said members selected their own sons, as
a member not 70 miles from here it is
said did few years ago. And further,
every sensible man OF them knew that il
the door was opened to give them 5000,
with equal propriety four or hive other
institutions could have made similar de-
mands and when they finally could not
get the $4,000 for the pretended scholar
ships they begged outright for $1,000 to
pay Mr.. II. s. McCOmb--a cool request,
indeed, for debtor TO call Gil Legisla-
ture TO pay his debts. / could not stand
idly by and see such attempts on the
State Treasury, but the Instant wrote
line agai It them in the GAZETTE they
started their curly tailed fiste 10 barking
at me in the one-eyed mule Ledger, and
have borne with him until had TO tell
him plainly of the species he represents.
The coon represents sneak in the dark,
and an ape mimic-the two combined
a. 4 a l.
low as would suit his employers at New
ark. But have this consolation. Let
me be what l may in the eyes OF the
Newark College men, large majority OF
the Legislature thought as l said, and re-
fused to sanction the Newark schemes.
And say it cheerfully that Newark tol-
lege had in Mr.. Cooch, brother Of the
Senator, one of the best and most gen.
tlemanly advocates it ever had at Dover.
But the fates were against him. 1t
would not do to open the door Of the
State Treasury to any college to the ex--
clusion of others, and Ii TO all, there
was NO knowing how soon a revolution
would taae place between the rich and
poor. IL is better for all persons to unite
on the common ground OF the tree school
system, and those persons wishing their
children to have sectarian or classical
education pay for it themselves extra.
This fellow that runs the Newark Ledger
first called me pig-head, although my
Uranium measures u inches, and OF
course had to Tetort, and IN recollecting
him and thinking over suitable de5crip-
ton, l thought the coon and ape CON-
bined would about meet his case; and
young man, not your coon head, as you
refer to that, Itaid would debar your
entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven. Ii
was your cross of both coon and ape, aud
your general deiormity that the Scriptures
speak OF. You take exceptions to that
and say the Scripture declares no drunk.
ard shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven
That of course gives me no alarm, tor
never was drunk; but | am surprised al
your religious masters i'll Newark allow
ing you TO make such sweeping charges
against driinkards. Have you not been
drunk? Are you not now on kind Of
probation, having to hide from the sigh
of whskey bottle? But Mr.. Coon ant
Ape you were in good company that nt
man need be ashamed Of. Is it not ad
mtted that God knows everything

And does not the Scriptures tell you lha

before hand? And it further says tha
Noah had an ungrateful son that afte
his father saved him, he made fun of TIN
