abuse, the arrtcasm, the epitthMas and the
sInaler of this your heit artieti.
Read your owi artcle sir, nud is it not
perfectly plain to eveti your disleripered
lind that you have noit been engaged in
writing upon the necessity, the expediency
or thle propriety of having a new court
house in Clareudon, but in abusinig ail
vilifying the iar, and([ inl saking inifound
ed and ungeitleinaniy charges. "You hu
lieve that none but our Lawyers go agin
your court house." Who taught you
that lesson I wl-en heard you any (if
them speak .upon that subject ? Alhm
ave you not betrayed yourself here !
D> you suppose Ihat Imanty will believe
thit to bc the sentiment of the in whose
ne you have obtauied to acciriptny
your article ! I assure you, noL many.
And youi believe the " Lmryers gos agin
it because it makes big fees." Is thai too
any iore likely to be Mr. 1 's
opiiniont * 1low inalny Jecs, mnuch less /,ig
f es, lis he ever paid to our Blar ? And
why would the "ien of " exorbitant fees
arise in his mit ! No sir, it did nut orig
ut thi ere, n1 it. contains a charge for
which we demaund proof. LeI the cuwes be
ellael and let the comnnunity be lie jnilge.
W e chalb-:ng ir-esti atin. T hUre have
been io cxrobit'ant fees and if Ii !rC have
been -rp onzt, it will be foutid upon
investiation that they h'tre been descredi,
and that wlien they hIve beeti elnargeI it

Now Sir, ldlow us to say yolu have Imiade

voncoted with Gencral Narvez, the
Spanish 31inisttr, the plan of a mission to
the Unitud States, to sotid how far this
countrv was vulnerable in-a military point
of view. A secret agent was to be sent
with instructiis prepared by the Depart

I1ons dtly signed-, were preseitted to Na.

a tender of what aimiount of money le might

twice at amnother person, but missed his
aim. A mob then pursned Gray, who re.
ceived two balls in his body, and it. is said
several passed through his hat. A German

Jeer Mister Banner: In your last
oaper I sees you goes agin Clarindon.
Nfhen I. went for the Banner' !ast.
pring, it was because I thought, you.
vent fbr Wesley and our Court House..
Jut now you. has turned your outo
mnd- changed your briches, and it takes
v smart feller like myself to no you
is the same Nister- Banner. All you
iUs sed agin our Court Mouse is trash
md as I hearn one ot your Bl Law
'ers in Sumterville say, is nothing but
yInmposity in the ingus, and thunder
n the throte. I is it is true Mister
Uanner a No Nothin and I does go
igin furriners and abolitioners and all
.hat sort of nonsense ; but I does no.
3. ugh to bleve that nun but the Law.,
ers goes agin our Curt House, and th: t-.
jecause it makes big fees and ceeps the
peo)le a watin on ea to git a chance to.
pay em muny. But what rite have you.
Aister 11anner to say a word agin Clar
indon'? I. thought yore paper. was for
Carindon. as well as for Clairmont.
But if you gus to treat us like furriners
in that way, why we will soon have
a Banner as well as a Court House to
oursells in Claringdon, Why don't
you now .Aister anner that all the
peple in Claringdon is for the Court
House; and what does you want.
em to go to yore furrin Cort
House fur ? Why there are my frend
Capten Mosos Benbow, and all the
Benbows, and the Brocks, and the
'lagins, and the Stukes', and Ducter.
Briggs, and Squire Reynolds, and the
KeFlys, and the Weeks', and Doctor
Rich, and Docter McCaully, and tho
Rhames', and the Butlers, and the
lBrogdons, and the Gunes', and the
Blackwells, and the Nelsons, and'the
F rk Black River, and Captin Ganca,.
and the Harvins, and Docter Ingram,.
and the Richardsuns, and the Burgess'
and the Tindals, anr.d the Connors, and
the Mannings, and the Varshums, and.
the Gibbons', in Lower Salem, aud alt.
the peple, and all the no nothins, and'
the rich and the poor this side and
tother side Black River and Puddini.
Swamp, spiciely, our reprasentativo
little Docter Som, who you no is a.
trump and a legunary.
Now Mister Banner I want to no if
the peple of Clarendon want to cetch
a line trout in Cudo Lake or tickel fish
in Brtuiuton or Pudden Swamp, why
you shuud force em to go all the way
to Claremount to dip for small kats in
the mud puddles ot Pocotalliger. 0
Mister banner you. is certainly rong
in this rispect, and if I owe you any
thing, send down your nccount to
rights P. 0.and lIwill pay it, but dont
pretend to coine over me with sich
contrap-hions as these. Well but you
Pa-y you luva us Mister Banner, is the
reason you cant part with us. Well I
cant say -that I luIvs so hard or so much
as all that comes to, but may be I
would,'if I got. all the fees and-the
proftits and y o had to pay em. B ut
turn it this way Midter Banner, and I
ami feared you wud not have sich a
muonstrus liuv 1114r us. WVeil after all,
it ant sich a mighty partin M3~itr
Banner as you wud make out. Wes
wud hav so much to due at our owin
Court Hlouse, that your Lawers wud
come down to help us; and if therse
any of you we cant git down, why we
wud send a Branch ofE the Nourth En.
turn Rale Rode to fech em. But dont
talk yore blarney to us Mister Bianner
about Juvin us too much to let us go.
Faro sed the sanu,e thing to Moses, but
he want fled by it and I want nether.
King Gorg~e sed the same thing to
G inerel W ashinton, but he -didlent
bleve him. No my dear Mister Blan
ner if we was both put in the same
krib when. we was little boys, and we
growe'd tu. hlarge for it to hold us to.
gether, I think I wud show not only
my luv but my purli-teness, by getin.
up an levein it all to yourself. If you
luv us then .Mister Banner let us stay
in our own County where we'want ~to
stay ; and if' you luv the peple of Clare
mu ut cloere away the rubish of Claren
don Lawsui's, and let them have a qui
et time and a short turn to themselfs.
T1hat is the genuin way to lav us ; and
to luy them, Mister Banner. .But if'
you luv the Lawyers, and I hope AMis.
ter Bauner you. is not one of em, or if'
you is, that you is .not much of a one,.
mor they aint no waysato my likens,
theni try to keep. us together in strife
and confusion, where tis all pay and
nto prolhits, all eckspense and no gane,.
all time and nothin saved, and the
Buzzards is the furst. and the last at.
the feste.
Now I hope Mster Bahnner you wvilL
publish this as you done my letter of
last, yere ; for if' it is true, why the
truth ort, to be spuken ; and if it is not
true, then it t6rt to be conradicted ;
and if it be tu eckspensive to you to
piniit it, sentd down your Bill to
Wrights Bluff P. 0, to my signitter
and it will be paid for as anbadvartise.
