From the Delaware Gazette.
The readers of the Gazette" will re
collect that in the controversy abou

liable to the fellow that runs the New
ark "Ledger"-Esling or Eslink-
knowing that in small town like New
ark their paper must fall below the av.
erage ons-horse papers. 1t says l am
pig headed. This fellow was only
brought to that town to do their dirty
slanderiDg: but it appears this dwarf
Eslink, who from the appearance of his
head resembles cross brtween coon
and an ape, is very much elated at an
an article of Bill xxx Croasdale, of the
Livery Evening"" against me. and had
not this coon and ape-head-d Eslink
lived on the confines of Cat Swamp he
would have seen my reply in the ga.
zette" to his friend B. G. XXX., of the
"Every Evening" Now Mr.. ,Coon
and Ape-headed Eslink Of the Newark
Ledger" have a warm and charit-
able feeling towards my fellow-man,
and it always makes me feel sorry when
| look at such a fellow as you, for it
brings to my mind a curse in Scripture
that no deformed coon and ape. h AIDED
beings shall enter the Kingdom OF
Heaven. And although your friend,
scalawag Bill XXX Croasdale il a first
class intidel and splendid swsarcr, he
is not Sc liable to be rejected at the
gates Of Heaven as you are, for Bill
XXX Croasdale, ! admit, has the ap-
pearanee of an ordinary mortal and you
have not, and therefore comes under the
meaning of that particular clause Of
Scripture. In conclusion, the Newark
College men, an glad to see, have
abandoned the project to get money
through our Legislature, for they have
allowed you to personally insult the
members OF the Legislature generally,
and you close your article by asking
the good Lord to deliyer you from such
men. | shall save this copy of the New
