Pomonkey Items.-Hr. Editor. We al
ways fee pity for the Young and inexperienced
who can Je"forced," by another. to do tha,
which he, ifiett alone, would doubtless nev.r
dare to do. But we have always observe
hat when such erring aud unsuspecting ones.
through ignorance, have once consented to be
control ed by another, worse than himself aud
forced to do bis bidding, that they uuiyer-
sally become stuffed up with such an amount
Of seii-importanee as 10 become ridiculous
interruptions, and their impudence becom IS
intolerable. We wish to be clearly understood,
as We do not propose to deal in parable, nor
speak in an unknown tongue. We shall there
fore beg leave to call your attention, Sir, 10
that FUNGUS Denial BY 'JuliIn and would
ask YOU TO behold the mercile5s slaughter Of
the English Language. Did you ever before,
in all yoar varied and vast experience look
upon such a thoroughly senseless mass ofmat-
Ter in the shape Of words} Can you, can any
other man, IN Unartus county or our Or ~
make sense on, Of that general conglimera
ton Of woods, 50 rs to be enabled TO under
stand what ideas they were intended to convey?
Ifany of our wise and learned men feel able
to bring 'order out Of chaos ther. Is the
chance for fame Try it gentlemen, try it.
We are not surprised, unde the circum-
stances that "Julian, while his conscience is
vet tender, should be candid enough to own
the truth and acknowledge the fact that it
was with much reluctance and 'condeseen-
sion" that he has again attempted 10 Haunt
such miserable vulgalisms in the face Of an
intelligent people, through the medium OF
popular newspaper But when besci by On
older ana digger fool than himself who Is
the real author Of what "Julian' is made 10

Driscd at his bnse submission, to the dictauon
and influence Of that older fool, to the extent
TINT he has been forced to permit his name
to appear again in the columns Of the lSDEPEN-
pgSr, appended to an article much more RI
diculous than the first. In snuch therefore
as his name is appended thereto, he must be
held responsible and we shall deal with him
accordingly We shall therefore presume
that he intended that his second article should
throw light upon his first but in fact, it has
only yelled it in deeper mystery, and made it
worse than before There is this however
that lac has made plaini he has attempted TO
make himself appear PROMINENT or conspie"'
Gus as an expert at sarcasn. Aud he has proven
himself TO he an ignoramusi on account OF the
bont1ast used, while some OF the plalnest ana
simplest rules ofgrammar are totally ignored
Ii is said that there is time wl en- men oe-
gin to learn wisdom; but, that time never ar
riyes until they begin u knee that they are
fools. We hope ere long, that Julian may
learn this solemn lesson; then you may oe
sure be will know how TO deny charge, OF
ask question without putting on airs,
and pretending great erndi'ion, when reai'J
he only betrays lis great amount OF gross
ignorance. Mr.. Editor, wehave mTGdcd al
