Our friends of the St. Johnsbury
Republican, in their somewhat pro.
miscuous dispensation of taffy, are
in the habit of Esq.-ing almost
everybody's name. This is harmless
amusement, but it serves to bring
the Esq" into contempt, as the
"Prof." has been brought, in
its use by cheap singing-masters
dog-trainers, jugglers, etc., and the
custom is neither complimentary OF
desirable, when it is over worked
But if the readers of the Republica,
wish to be Esq'ed We interpose nc
serious objection.
