Jeer Mister Banner: In your last aper I sees you goes agin Clarindon. Then I. went for the Banner' !ast. pring, it was because I thought, you. nent for Wesley and our Court House.. Slt now you. has turned your outo nd- changed your briches, and it takes smart feller like myself to no you s the same Afister Banner. All you as sed agin our Court Mouse is trash, nd as I hearn one ot your Big Law ,era in Suintervillo say, is nothing but umposity in the ingus, and thunder I the throte. I is it is true Mister lanner a No Nothin aud I does go gin furriners and abolitioners and all hat sort of nonsense ; but I dues no. i ugh to bleve that nun but the Law., ers goes agin our Curt House, and th: t. >eause it makes big fees and ceeps the >cople a watin on Ca to git a chaice to. yay em muny. But what rite have you. ,Vister 11anner to say a word agin Clar ndu'? I. thought yore paper. was for Diarindon. as well as for Clairmont. 3ut if you gus to treat us like furriners n that way, why we will soon have I Banner as well as a Court House to yursells in Claringdon, Why don't you now .hister anner that all the eple in Claringdon is for the Court [louse; and what does you want. Bm to go to yore furrin Cort House for ? Why there are my frend Capten Mosos Benbow, and all the Benbows, and the Brocks, and the llagins, and the Stukes', and Docter, Briggs, and Squire Reynolds, and the KeFlys, and the Weeks', and Doctor Rich, and Docter McCaully, and the 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 Richardsons, and the Burgess' and the Tndals, anr.d the Connors, and the Mannings, and the Warshums, and, the Gibbons', in Lower Salem, and alt. the peple, and all the no nothins, and' the rich and the poor this side and tother side Black River and Puddini. Swamp, spicielly, our reprasentativo little Docter Sum, 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 Briuiuton 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 comie 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 ltvs so hard or so much as all that comes to, but may be I would,'if I got. all the fees maid-the proftits and y o had to pay em. But turn it this way Midter Baancr, and i aimi feared you wud not have sich a monstrus la v f11r us. Veili after ali, it ant sich a mighty partin Misicr Banner as you wud make out. We 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 of the Nourth Ei. turn Rale Rode to feh em. But dont talk yore blarney to us Mis'ter Banner about lur'in us too much to let us go. Faro sed the sanue thing to Moses, but he wa'nt fuhed by it and I want nether. King Gorg~e sed the same thing to G inerel W ashinton, but he didlent blev'e him. No my dear Mister Blan ner if we was both put in the same krib w~heni we was little boys, and we growe'd tu. Large fur it to hold us to. gether, I think I wud show not only my Iuv but my purli-teness, by getin up an levein it all to yourself. lf'you luv us then ilister Banner let us stay in our own County where wewant ~to stay ; and if' you luv the peple of Clare muunit cloere away the rubish of Claren don Lawsui's, and let them have a qi et time and a short turn tothmef. T1hat is the genuin way to lav us ; and to luv; thoem, 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, then try to keep. us together in strife and confusion, where tis all pay and nto prollits, all eckspensei and no gane,. all ime and nothin saved, and the Buzzards is the furst and the last at. the feste. Now I hope fister 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 prlinit it, senitd down your Bill to Wrights Bluff P. O, to my signitter and it will be paid for as ansadvartirse.. BY SA1NTANNA.
