Ed. CHIEf:-For the last three weeks, since

and like it. like its name. and the editors puck-
| But, with many more Of your readers, take excep
tons to what consider your unjust criticisms Of
| Mr. Herbert Campbell the Temperance lecturer-al!
because Lac is reported to have said Troy was hdrd
| place
1t does seem to u.s. that was a very small provoca-
ton say such hard things for and misrepresent
a. Mr.. Campbell Every one who knows him and
/ his work, viii bear testimony that he is doing
great work in reforming drunkards: and stirring up
the people active duty-that he alludes TO his own
former sad experience to encourage others who are
going the sorrowful way. TO a new Temperance
life, and ,lway, with the deepest humility; unnIe ;e
fit to give The man must live. and support his
| family; and why should not temperance workers
live by their honest religious labors in rescuing the
fallen, making homes happy. women glad, and chill
Dear Editor. instead of reminding the friends of
Temperance of the few dollar. they gave Nc. C. for
| his good work, why not remind the taxpayers of
the millions of dollars they pay for poor houses,
ails, lockups. and criminal trials all made by the
crimes of selling and drinking liquor. that Mr. C. is
trying TO stop Do. my editorial brother take up
theme worthy of your fluent pen. Write the evils of
the rum traffic - warn the people against the liquor
desolate, the hopes they have crushed, the hearts
they have broken, and the lives they have put out
right in Troy and God will bless you.

We have considerable to say in reply to the fore
going and shall us. as plain English as we ca com.
maud; but in ANYTHING we NAV saw. we mean no
disrespect to the lady correspondent.
Mrs Call says she writes at the reaae,t of friend,
of Mr.. Campbell in 81. Joseph and White CIoud
who took executions TO our remarks concerning i'm.
And what business ia IL Of their,l Are thew 40
vrapped up in him. that they have becom. his vas
sails. on the watch to pounce up,n any man who
presumes to lay unholy hands upon his highness
We made reference to his friends at ST. Joseph or
White Clond, but wrote in reply to Wholesale at
tack made by him upon the people of Troy, simply
because they would not contribute back-mail to
able him to make money leading an easy life, and
playing the role Of great reformer. When Mr.
Campbell was at White Cloud, and his gaping ad-
mrers swallowing his rchash of stale jokes,
and sheling out their cash, we said not q word
against it. 1t was none of our business and we did
not interfere. Our correspondent there glorifed
him to his full satisfaction and We published every
word he sent on the subject. (By the way that boy
whom Mrs Call takes occa sion to correct is enc of
the most Jealous friends of Temperance in town. and
admirer of Mr.. Campbell, and he certainly never
Intentionally nsrepresented the tenn peranee cause
We have had OCCASION in the past to defend White
perform that duty again. Then when we feel call
ed upon to defend the people of Troy from the at
tacks of disappointed tramp we shall not ask the
permission of that tramp's dupes either at White
Cloud or anywhere else. Why did not some of them
undertake reply, instead of shirking it off on a Ia
dy who is stranger to u.s. while they did their part
in sitting around in stores abusing and threatening
us All we have to saw is that the store loafer who
sits around grumbDg at and slangwhanging the
absent, is not whit better than the saloon loafer
