beautiful narrow-mindedness and
mammoth bigotry," and, at the same
time, these statements might be not
true.
The object of this correspondence
is not to attack Hutton or his paper,
or his Mounts, Or their man, Friday,
or their monkey, "Hugo." 1t is
simply to show the injustice Of such
journalism as the MteHigencer always
proclaimed against, but has just per-
mitted. Can it be that the
boss of the IsteUigeneer thinks he
should do as he pleases and all others
must bow the knee? Does he think
the world was created for him, and
him alone; that there is but one
God, who suffered and died that he,
and he alone. might live that there
is but one Heaven, which was made
without hands, that he might strut up
and down the golden streets alone
all alone ]; that the sun shines and the
moon reflects for him alone; that the
grass grows and the flowers bloom
only for him to admire or wither /;
that the Democratic party is an insti-
tuition to be run by him, or without
his influence die; that offices were
made for him, or his men "Fridays;"
that he is the only man made after
the image of his Maker, and that hell
was made expressly for all men who
do not agree with, Or for him. We
trust this is not the case, and hope
he will not again put his corset on
upside down, or do whatever he did
to make han so mad that he loses his
discretion and allows such abortions
on the ace of skunks to attack gen.
tlemen under a nom de plume through
his paper, which has, and deserves, q
much better reputation than such
liberties WILL give it.
"Hugo'S says r. NJ. White is a
defamer. Who did he ever defame?
He at least did it under his own
name. He also says White is known
as the reverse Of q gentleman. No
wonder "Hugo" does Lot sign his
name. He knows he Is q liar. He
knows he dare not tell White he is
not . gentleman. No one but a rank
coward or q sneaking bastard would,
under q nom de plume, make such
statements. r. NJ. White is known
as well and favorably over the dis,
trict or State as J. E. Hutton Or j.
F. Mounts. The editors of Missouri,
in convention assembled, elected hin
president. Is he not considered 6
gentleman among those who know
him throughout the State? He says
Hutton is a friend of the church an6
!, Sunday school and White is not
White has a right to his own religious
views. We are told that Hutton -ha:
not been in his church for nearly two
years. We care not for this, and
only refer to it because ''Hugo' ap'
peared to harp on Hutton's religion
Right here, since "Hugo" touches OF
religion, we would state that if Hut
ton, Mounts and Hugo" want to q
into characters they can get a game
at once. Just go ahead with you
attack on his character and if b,
don't paint somebody's record red i
will be because he can not get en-
gravers to furnish cuts of parties he
wishes to bring before the people
, We know that Mr.. White wants tt
get into no such fight. AS a public
man and a candidate for office Hutton
is before the people, and his public
record, if he has one, is for review
His private record and private char
acter has ever been held sacred b,
Mr.. White. Although he has oftel
been called low and ungentlemanly
names by the editors and friends o
, the InteHigencer, we never yet say
where he eve DETAINED any one IN O
i, out of his paper.
!, Hugo" also says White sis no
known as a democrat and has not al
ounce of democratic blood in hi
, VEINS" 1t is easy enough for "Hu
go" to bob his nose up out of tn
> shiny qualification on which he exists
unknown to the Creator of the worlt
(if such a thing were possible) ant
make such statements, knowing then
to be lies. MIR. White was not in th'
militia during the war. Does thi
constitute democracy? Mr.. Whit
l has never asked for office. Do yol
read him out of the party on this &C
t count? Every vote he ever cast, ev
, cry act he ever did, every line h
ever wrote, every breath he eve
drew, every man he eve worked for
every aim he has in view is, and ha
been, and will be, for the democratic
party. He has the largest circulation
of any democratic paper in the Con
gressional district, and his paper la!
fully as much influence as any pape
of its circulation in the United States
We have nothing to do with Hut
toms going to Congress. If his de
sire to have office is q qualification b.
ought, by all means, to have ever,
one in the State.
"Hugo" winds up with the word:
"more anon" We would advise
Hugo" for his own good and foI
the good of his patron saints-th,
, editors of the MteUigencer-to con
slider his nose pulled and his journal
istic life closed. The best construc
ton he a put on himself is, 81

sign his name or write sub rosa, i
amounts to the same. You cam

the stencil of the skunk.
!, R. NJ. White, l am yours truly
ready and willing, with your permits
sion, to handle such cattle as "Hu
CO." either under his own or an as
sumed name; and I am also ready
at any time Or place, to give "Hugo'
my full name and place of business
