Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 October 1858 — PLEASE DON'T. [ARTICLE]
PLEASE DON'T.
The editor of the Expositor last week culled the editor of the Gazette a LIAR. This was very unpretty and unbecoming, especially as he could not know whether our statement was true ur false, unless he knows; all things and is omnipresent. We guess he did not care whether our statement was true or not; if true, it should never have leaked out, and he would call it a “Zie” anyhow;, if false,-he wouldn’t miss it in calling it a “Zie.” But the language is very unbecoming an editor, and we hope, for the credit, of the profession, that he will never stoop to such blackgardism again. Do, Air. Expositor, please refrain from calling us ugly names hereafter—now do, please; it hurts our feelings, indeed it does. - Pray, stop, or we shall go crazy. Do, Mr. Expositor — please, do. We are very sensitive, and it causes us to shed oceans of tears to be called u ‘‘liar"’ by such ns you. Please stop, do. You have been in the State but five or six weeks, and you came from noble Ohio-, and it causes us to shed oceans of tears again when we think of it—indeed it does—so please stop, do. You came here to enlighten the people, and to teach good manners and morals, and when we think of you calling ns a “Zirth,” we shed oceans of tears—indeed we do: so please do stop, do. When an editor like you uses
such terms as a “ZZ«r,” and that, too, in the public prints, the little hoys in the street, thinking that it is manly, will follow your example; and that would make us shed more odeans of tears—indeed it would: so please stop, do. please. •
