Fp. COURIER We have been close
reader Of our county paper for many
years, and during that period, we have
witnessed with Joy. mary able pro.
|dnctions both from our Eds. and cores
Ipondents, aud while we have admired
and culo2i,ed these interesting articles.
we have been compelled to look upon
many with sense Of shame and disgust.
which were found perhaps ia the very
same copy. great many people cen
sure The editor for NIL injurious and
weak articles, which for many reasons i
unjust, from the fact that he il not the
author. We are aware that there are
many sentiments uttered through the
public journal which are neither sane
toned nor desired by It's editor. but Tho
wheat and tarcs, the bad with The good
must inevitably come There il Il rule
or fact established. which reads as fol-
lows: "Eyery thing we speak or write
shows our sense or our want Of il.'
There is two sides to most every thing.
but 10 this declaration there is but the
one side; this being always a truth. we
know just in which class 10 place every
contributor and every journalist. We
have been examining these productions
recently, with profound care and atien-
tion. and we find that the crticiser above
all should be criticised. For instance.
Kara kapu some time since got on her
ear and rcbuked . Elder Perry sharply.
comparing him to diminufive Jack. and
hnrling a routine of cpithets upon other
OF chair and nonsense: this
was just right IN Kara, for they needed
such an airing: but. behold the next
week Kara made about face, and in her
entire article. she dealt out nothing but
nonsense. thus proving to the world
that In place OF being sheep she is a
wolf. and instead OF saint she is devil !:
and in last weeks Courier she gives rs a
lengthy article. wherein she saws: sThe
path 20 glory leads but 10 the grave" and
illustrates il by the lives Of Alexander
and Bonaparte. Now she was right if
we are 10 Judge the world of mankind
by those two ambitious giants. but this
Hare not he done. as people with even a
shade Of nationality can readily perceive !:
80 Kara. by looking at one side only.
has gored herself 10 death as u commu-
meant by penning black faIsehood.
Kara, what are you gong 10 do with
uch men as Washington, Adams. JefIer-
son, Raikes. Franklin and Clay, whose
glory was heightened as they approached
iealh's threshold. and who caused new
transports To pervadc the ranks Of Ike
redeemed: 80 Kara. good mems works
10 follow them after death. and their
glory swclls with double power. From
Kara. remember that To be
rood writer. Is 10 weigh every part and
luality Of 4 question upon the scale of
profound research. We feel sorry for
fou. poor soul, for we believe YOU mean
light and therefore. we sympaihize with
f"u. licpin. that you may yet learn how
o contribute.
As for Elder Perry. hc j. past rciemp-
ion. lfl,r isa man Of worth aud benefit

What ic writes. tor 'urely such stuff as
Fanny Fern. Nara kapu, PcteS Mule

"is nonscncc We ever read in Journal.

lirt. stencil and pollution OF the filth.
certainly. no decent. honorable, we'll
,rcd editor would admit such cores
'ondrnI as Elder Perry to disgrace the

Or Won Elder Perry. for YOU are al
afural fool. Why can't YOU give rs
