Having a harvest to cut, no pape

We assure our readers that we are
not disposed to degrade ourselves by
descending to a level with every Cap.
tain Bobadilla, but as many of them
have pot an opportunity of seeing those
papers in which we ave kindly noticed,
we give them a sample of it this week,
omitting the epithets, scoundrel, vil-
lian, liar, rascal, &c. so profusely ap
plied to us. It Las not a great deal
to do with the mui question of the
day; but we do net wish to be behind
hand with the nobility of our town, in
froliteness. We will devote a col-
umn or two of our paper to retort,
but never to attack. A defensive war
is always more honorable than an of
feosive one.
After the maneer of Capt. Boba-
dilla and Dr. Linnwood, his aid, duly
appointed immediately afer the bat-
tle of Chippewa-—we dedicate tothe
best blood of the state the following
paragraphs.
Linnwood &° Bobadilla, it is said,
have agreed to ‘unite their talents —
Law and Physic have kissed. The
result of this alliance we have in the
last Mifflin, Eagle. It is stipulated for that man who disregards the laws of
in their treaty, that the one is to con.
ceive and the other to deliver black-
guardism. Linowood has a diploma;
(the only one in bis possession) from
Billingsgate seminary, and we can as:
sure our readers that he is not un.
worthy of it. ft is oot a matter of
suiprize, then, that the terms, villian,
blackguard, rascal, &c.
are familiar to him-—the reader will

observe by the way, that those epi
thets and Linnwood are synonmous,

LZinnwood has given us a dish on
beards. It is but theory—he can’t
speak from experience. In relation
to bis beard, we assert that he is a
perfect aboriginal in that respect ;
and not baving given us any evidence
of his being a MAN, the presump-
tion, at a distance would be that he is
a“ deardicss voy.”

Io the last Mifflin Eagle, a feder.
al paper published in Mifflin town,
1s contained four columns of the most
vile, personal abuse of the editor of
this paper and his brothers, which
would fully justify us in exposiog the
characters of those whom we deem its
authors, living in Beilefonte. Qur
materials for this purpose are most
ample, perbaps more so than those
gentlemen are aware, They think
themselves perfectly secure, no doubt,
veiled behind an anonymous sigoa-
ture; but their hypocritical, black
hearted, white-livered maligpity, fully

abuse and stemmed the tarrent of fed-
eral persecution in his lifetime, they
might permit his bones to rest in
peace. One would seppose that it
was enough that Andrew Gregg and
his Son-in Jaw Gg Curtin shoud have
exuited at his d®ath, and expressed
their joy in the st indecent lan-
guage. But it woud secm, that to
men whose hearts rankle with malice,
the very grave affords a feeble barrier.
However much those men may say
that William Petrikin ¢ was a villain,”
and % thar this is the only [atrimony
that his sons inherit,” we leave that to
the people of this county who knew
him well to judge. For - ourselves;
we answer, that we are conscious of
baving been guilty of no act that
would in the least degree tarnish an
hotest reputation; aud we uniesitat-
ingly say that whatever the editor of
this paper may be, be has‘hitherto dis-
dained, and does disdain to defrrade
himself so far as to keep the company
of Matthew Gregg, or any other ‘oi
