MEssRs. EDITORS "A communication has
lately appeared in the Liberty Standard, in
which the writer, Rev. c. c. Cone, after the
usual complaints for not receiving more hom-
age from the people of Woolwich, and pas
sing elogium on the "three worthless" as he
styles them, proceeds to uncork his big bottle
of highly concentrated bitterness, and fling it
at the Congregational Society of this town. for
not keeping preacher they did not want
Concerning the Rev. gentleman's complaints,
we have only this to say, "they will make an
excellent preface to his political lectures"
when he sees fit to publish them. AS regards
the three worthless, we have not much to say,
and very little to fear, we opine. They are
three busy "little candidates. always sure to
go off at half cock, if they go at all, and ca
pable of exerting about as much political in
fuence as the man in the moon.


But if the Congregational society of this
town saw fit to inform Mr.. Garland-their en-
gagements being ended-that they did not
choose to enter into any farther engagements
with him, what did they more than they had
perfect right to do: If the people of this
town do not employ man to berate them
about theirspolitics, does it necessarily follow
that some "would- be" NJ c., who has drunk
the gall and wormwood of disappointment to
its dregs, must take it in high dudgeon, and
has the right to lecture them forits Does the
Rev. gentleman suppose all the people of
Woolwich are equally as subservient as are his
three worthless, and that he can frighten them
into the traces by one flourish of his quill?
Does he expect all hands quietly to succumb,
and let him appoint priest to reign over us ,
If so we shall add one more to his now long
catalogue of disappointments. But, perhaps
the two have entered into compact, the one
to appoint the preacher, and the other to preach
as he shall dictate. This being the case, Mr..
Editor, we shall exercise our prerogative once
more, and spurn the coalition.


In conclusion, we would advise the gentle
man to attend to his own concerns, and leave
the people of Woolwich to manage for them
selves. Yours truly, NEoUAssETT.


Woolwich, Dec. IS, lS47.
