Tie Coming Paper,

Gently suspended for the purpose
- removing, with its editor, to
Harrison, is copied from the La
borefs Guide, a Brother Of Free
dom organ just started al the first
named place:
The editor of the Clinton Ban
aer in his Yale ct Vude, seems to
grow indignant over his failure to
WELD his .imperial Bcepter over
| the people of Van Buren, county.
The people of this county have set
down on the Judge and his de-
funot organ, which has so arous-
cd his ire that he lashes himself
into fury, and pours out the walls
of his pent up wrath upon the de-
voted heads Of the unsuspecting
rusties Of this part Of Arkansas.
| We presume that this knight of
the quilLls q blatant advocate OF
monopoly, or i1nagines himself &
monopoly of brains and intelli-
gence and assumes the right to
dictate 90 the people what God
they SID Observe, and what code of
morals hey shall adopt. He
makes Nc foul charges against
| the iyohIe OF Sthis county, and is
guilty Of more contradictions in
his bill of charges than we have
ever seen recorded in the same
space. He says the county is very
poor, the blood stagnant, that the
people are without capital or en-
terprise, that they are ignorant
and unlettered, and do not deserve
a newspaper, have never support
ed one, and that what few of them
can read never take q paper. And
then in the next breath tells us
that he has made money out of his
paper, that his subscription list is
more than twice as large as when
he took hold Of the institution, and
as many as it ever had under ite
former management, and that ii
has paid him a fair salary over
and above expenses. The Judge
says his success in a financial
point Of view is due to his adyer-
Using patronage. How did he Sc
cure that? He either deceived his
advertisers or he has grossly mis-
represented the people of this
county
Our opinion is that he did both
He very likely drew ON his mag
nation in giving the amount OF
his circulation IN order to secure
the patronage of his advertisers
and he misrepresents the people
of this county in his dirty filings
and foul charges of ignorance, i'm
becility and want of enterprise. A
more noble generous people nevel
lived than inhabit the blue hills
and lovely valleys Of Van Burer
county, the Judge to the contrary
Notwithstanding. We are free to
admit that not one-fourth of the
a9adins.people of this county Were

either aid or comfort to the YAM
pid sentimentality of this devoted
Of Tom Paine. The Judge was
certainly laboring under fit OF
delerium tremens when he penned
that pdIc ct U0de, or he would not
have left the gaps all down behind
him. He has had editorial con-
troll Of the Banner eighteen
months, and admits that he has
made money out of it all at the ex-
pense of the people, for during
his editorial sway here, he has
been the most persistent and I'M
compromising enemy of our free
school interest and when an effort
was made to advance that interest,
he would raise his bristles, show
his teeth, and howl his mournful
dirge in thunder tones, that it was
robbery to tax the people for the
Education Of the children Of this
county, and now draws himself up
il all his littleness and lneanness
aud hurls his poisonous inuendoes
of ignorance at the people, when
he has exhausted his vocabulary
to keep them SO. Admitting what
he says to be true, this grave sage
tells us that to win financial sue
cess, and carve high his name on
the scroll of frame, he Ind to CON
tend with tremendous odds. That
