" tcnpable'' is fact, and another fact II that
some clamored In defence Of the Affirmative, and
cannot be called forth from my sPFey' for Veri-

tas. II IL q matter Of surprise 10 many specta-
tors that judges are necessary or such an occas-
ion; no prizes depending, many gentlemen shrink
from 20 delicate daty. In following mp the
delinqueneies" what part Of my item contained
this allegaiionf thought had paid the mega

iiemen ] thought their duty done with the great
est ability they possess. Had known the van
iiy Of the gentleman, i might have borrowed
somebody's unabridged" and made demon
strasion In his favor that might have slenced
even the oratOry Of that prince Of orasorical Jug

have higher opinion Of s.Ae good people who
live within the light that emnates from the walls
Of Charlotte Hall Academy than deny them the
capability Of forming an opinion without the aid
Of my old goose quill. They require no tutor
are on the independently of thought and aetioa,
and IL the delightful entertainments are 20 be in
terrupted account of the refusal on the part Of
those gentlemen 20 give the necessary aid" Of
their future decisions and my venerable" I"
which even the argumenfative superiority Of Yer
itas cannot convert into any 'want Of capacity"
Is Just cause, ! most hnmbly beg pardon, Nnd
win apply any modifer be may recommehS:
No sentiment Of "partial decision Is expressed
in my communication, surely that others differed
cannot be made 10 mean such. Doctors disa- |
gree, then allow the "bone and sinew" Of the |
county TO do the same, and now for courtesy's |
sake don't accuse me Of any want Of Difference to
the NJ. DIS. There Is no s'cieveriy- shielded |
bias intended, for doctors are indispensable to |
the bone and sinew. The position that rem |
ders ''scfutation' but justice TO the commune |
ty cannot see, nor can isee on what grounds !
veritas would place the "prey'' out OF the pale /
Of the community" lf he means that 10 70 an /
essential element to become an admirer Of his So
phistry 70 be cne Of community, the ''prey" /

Now the last point shall occupy your valuable
space with, evidently He thought himself n /
great part Of the audience" veFitas you are Sat
sea- agaia. He has got things mixed In general.
This infrmity is an infAllible sign Of being In /
love. am quite sure that many thought as /
did, that the major part Of The Sudience-unlike /
the major propostion-was no failure, and oc- /
cupied The most conspicuous verge Of the mega |

advanced no theory In which the mention Of bou- |
qneis could give ofense TO VefIfSs and he could |
with snecess employ syllogism 70 bear upon the |
fact that one bouquet under some circumstances /
Is worth tlree-scoFe and ten under others; and /
venture TO assert if those acknowledged beaufies

yeritas has been kind in bis attempted defence Of
his imagined sinjary" 10 the gentlemen in whose /
opinion he Jared 30 well by corrupting my inten-
ton, nor TO 0thecommunity who look upon himwith /
50 much favor. when he asserts their inability 20

possibility by which my sentiments have |
c'ogged the Society. l do not see that any /
otIense has been committed by anybody but |
Yeritas, and were he moi IS greedy as q Third /
Termer, he would give the Affirmative It's Just |
dues at nny rate, an honorable mention OF /
having done their best toward the entertainment /
in question. Parliamentary courtesy looks for /
this much anyhow, and presume the spokes- |
man Of the judges merely forgot TO do sos-~
Heaven prosper the good people Of Sc. Mary's /
and may they ever be actuated By the hope OF /
reward, never submitting 20 the ignoble feeling |
of far not even when if forces ieseIf upon them /
in the shape Of the republican bayonct at the /
ballot-box. Aud 10 conclusion I win say 70 /
veritss when he again attempts the ofice Of
s.good Samaritan bc sure some one beside i
himself has fallen By the 'swayside."
