Now we should not have noticed the rejoinder of Cyrus at iliis. or any future lime, if he had not made so many personal allusion*, some of them ol a veiv grave nature, and we think it nothing but sheer justice to ours-lves that ii should lie noticed. Cyrus ceuainly cannot ohj. et i as lo die sly le or manner in which tin-.ini ; cle is wiitien as he Ins lead llie wav wco is now an Editor himself, - If his mj lin iei nut written in a spirit of envy and mame then we will leave it f.r die public to judge. In die outset of his article, Cyrus suites something in relation *<> die frequent “ > se of eeilain plural nouns.” If we have commit ted error in iliis, we are ready to ackno wl.. edge it at nine, hut we really see no error. If error has been committed in the arrange ment of sentences, or orthography ni any thing pertaining to it, we shall be sordini to call on Cyrus to rorrerl it. Il is Irue dial wedo not profess (Like Cyrus) lo he a ereai scltollar, we were educated at old field School, in a log cabin, and not like the remained “ Knight” of die “ yellow big and white gander quill,” who is a legular graduate of sump distinguished College, we might P r * 4 - some, and has taken regulir lessons to Law Schools, (tot we. suppose trout his dictatorial article —at least dial he Considers himsi If a profound Jurist.)

He is quite a l.rt itudenarian in these days, and we doubt his candor in what he says our intentioas were in relation to the Pavilion House. In another article he savs, that it “ never entered his brain that an editor who has any regnri for Ids'station would consent lobe made the too I of a few dissitt isfaclio n Ist s to stir up strife brnween neighbors.” As the major is so personal and p dinted in this we most take it on ourself to say that “wmtefie has charged us wi-b, as above mentioned, iff any of bis chirges in the paragraph, are en lir-ly false and unfounded, far we were but a stranger here—know nothing of the prejudices to which lie alludes-—bad no feel ing! either wav in relation to the Hotels in this place, and had never been spoken to by •m one to answer him, hut we here state once for all that we limk up the piece and ‘swered ii without the suggestions of any one; and yet, we must he accused of inter tnedling and Stirling up sirife between tfflfi neighbors.
