If you do, you give him credit for more than wo over cun.—We know not who he is. He may be the man whom, above all ethers, we (of Liberty County) most delight to honor. Ho may he one for whose support wo would rally to u mnn, and whom wo would linvo gloried in lining in the anticipated contest taking the lend in our defence. If so, wo rogict the stand he lias taken—we regret that lie who should hnve been for us is ngnlnst us. but we can't help It—the fault is not oure. And firmly, we say again, '* We know our rightt and will maintain them in oar own way." Mr. * * * says in hi: last— 44 The pr'nciplcs which were laid down in our first stricture are still unnnswored, and by no ruin of equity can ihey.bu controverted." Mr. Editor, no 0110 attempts to controvert them, in 999 cases out of I DO he would be light. But there am exceptions to every general rule, and it would bo beyond tho power of erring muo to enact a code of Inws under the administration of which flagrant injustice would not tnmnrim** be done. In the present insinncu, we know our claims to ^ laud to be just, either by “ inheritance or purchase," &c —wo are confident too that tho pretension* of the 4 Corporation * are based upon fraud nod de ceit, for there are m«-n now living amongst us who recollect the whole transaction. But shim!' wo submit to a suit we may not bo able to prove these fuel* in Court.—For might wo know to ilia tho cutilriuy, these witnesses may be considered parlies concerned and their evidence not udinilted. Wo nm not up to all iho “ Lawyers' trick*," and know littlo of the law save its ' af.oRiou* uncer tainty."—Again it will cost a large nmoimi of money to defend our claim*.

In the conclusion of bis last, Mr. * * * made •nine remarks which lie thought wry cutting.

Imp* tlm littlo we have obtained is more valuable from the Ion if the balance. And now tell me, Mr. Editor, is there not some trutli in the remarks of the gentleman " at tho top of tho ladder I" Why I* it, else, that you can’t proclaim the election of tho Director of n Society, Ithuut aflixing the pre-nomeo of " Honorable" The trutli is, that in all governments und among all people ilium is n strong lundeiicy to aristocracy, and the symptoms of (lie prevailing epidemic dc- volupc themselves 00 every suitable, nyo, and un suitable, occasion. It pervades nil classes nod nil conditions, from the stage driver who usked tin* Dukn of Snxe-Weinmr if " lie was the man that was passenger in the stage," and on Ids nnswei* ilig in tho allirtnative, informed hint thut " I nm the gentleman wot dlives yon," up to the Excol- Icm-ie* and Honorable* of the land. It sit* in tho Chair Editorial, the Sent Judicial, the Sofa beau- tifnl. In short, sir, tho’ we talk about “equal rights," und " the aristocratic fools of England," we go ns far as »u dare do, to imitate tho example of tho latter in our love for tiiio and for show, rho'syoor Constitution says that ‘ no title of no bility shall bo granted by the United States," yet you call your omnibusse* "Lady Washington," nod your Judges nud Senators “ Honorable." Now, l tillnk, Mr. Editor, wo hnd'keltcr leave those tilings to tho Indies. They arc tho aristocra cy of Nature. You could not expect such u level ling doctrine ns democracy to luivo any place in their fuir bosoms. Lot them linvo their clique* mid tltoir cabal*.—Let them ostracise Miss A. becauso she Inis n lingo of red in tier hair, (red headed women ought not to be solferod to exist,)— or Miss B. because she wears her frock so short; (You'll not understand that / make any objections to Mis« C. on that score). But, for mercy’s sake, Ml* Editor, let in, as rational creatures, give up tiiis parade of titles, and when you next announce tilt* election of directors to any Society, say, *• tho following gentlemen were elected," and add their names without any TITLE.

Mr. Editor;—In one of my daily perambula tion* in tho streets of our “ monumental city,” I •observed two “ gem'men " of tho clos* culled •** Loafer*, No. fi," sitting upon a box of dry goods, aind discussing the nn riu mid contents of your vuiu- able diurnal.

" Honorable is tho Democratic title for ' Lord,' ami ii belongs to k luwyers and Judgos, and men wol’s high up. You see Dick, I’il make you sensible on this point. Democracy is a dead level—a smooth plain with a ladder rising up in tho middle of it.

Tlie Boys nre divided into two wntchcs, one watr.ii atten ding school, while the other is employed in the or dinary duties of file ship. They thus attend school every"other day. Their schoolmaster, Who, by tho way is very capable, having been a public teacher in the United State*, reports favorably of their at tention mid improvement. They will, I think, ob tain us good no education as hoys generally get at our public school*. They uro taught rending, writing, arithmetic, na vigation nnd composition; some specimens of the latter, which have been shown to me, written by tlie elder Iroys, wore really very creditable to the writer.
