ANOTHER EXPOSURE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, — It is not lny intention to continue an interchange of letters, with an invader of truth, nor do I intend to waste vile slander on the empty egotism of that would-be important person, your correspondent. But I will certainly affirm, by this, my last letter on this detestable subject, that there was' not a word of truth from beginning to end, -in the report you received. I will, however, request your readers -to analyse your reporter's last attempt at newspaper correspondence, alad they will there' find some 'logic peculiar tp one whp' is .absolutely, de.

feated, if not thoroughly ' castigated. But let not your readers, therefore, when they smile, as "they assuredly will, at the unseemly, absurd, and rediculous pretensions assumed by your correspondent (which they will find in the last issue of the " Tuapeka Times"), criticise it as mere tolly and frantic vanity. These are, Indeed, as necessary to the success of beginners of base literature, as much so, as it is important to clear away a rotten superstructure — a fact which I might apply, without unbecoming harshness, to defenders of false assertions (" written .to deceive ") who constantly retch out acrid yearnings of filthy stomachs when they are unable to accomplish by fair reasoning the end they desire to attain. I am, indeed, afraid that this newspaper correspondence is assuming a much more alarming character than the thistle nuisance at Moa Flat, because nature has wisely placed within easy reach food for all animals on the face of the earth, in accordance with their respective habits and peculiarities ; and I have no doubt, from that fact a 1 one, the thistles- in the particular quarter indicated will be quickly eradicated by those long-eared bipeds among whom they seem to thrive, and i for whom they were most wisely \ni tended. — I am. &

Truth,

Eoxburgh, 22nd March. [We shall not insert any more letters on this subject.— Ed. " T.T."]
