We regard the ecandalm nger as a social pest, and wo should be /j^rry" to see any public journal reduced tf> Bticli an abyss of degradation as to tickle the j> ilate <-f its readers with such nauceoua dishfs as that you send. We aie sorry that the etiquette of journalism thiows it 3 protecting <tegis over euch rr.iserable narrow-minded eaveidroppers and Paul Prya as you appear to be. Nothing would give ua greater pleasure ih*o t) hold y ur r.ame up to public reproba- . 'ion and s; ■en. We regard men such as you, •who en i r .tennpt to throw their poisoned Shafts from under the cover of an anonymous signature iv a n< wsp»per ns a nuisaoce in &ny community. Tour wretched inuendoes are too thmly vi'iled t-) deceive us, even though we be new comers. The inferences in your scandaluus effii2ijn are too piilp^ble to be mistaken lou uviJontly t ,<nght to secure public utiou by enclosing a a uption to the Times. Anxious jh we°a"e cuie suppoit from the settlers, ■we shall notp nder to your miserable tustes at t'-iQ piice a few shillings. W>' have returned i\\& 1001 ey by post vith a copy of this jsaue, a'ul saula ul not go into sackcloth and adhes if w never receive a farthing of your mo-.ey.
