A REJOINDER.

TO THE- EDITOR. St;i. — Tn last Saturday's issue of the Standard, L was pleased to find that a whole paragraph had been devoted to the merits of a Welsh Blacksmith. Most.iri- | heard of, surely! A Whitewashed, Welsh' Blacksmit h! Well, Well; some newspaper men have . got the .cheek of ' Old Kick," and the Blacksmith referred to, has. likewise, unbounded impadence, to ilnre to speak disaparafjmgly of th^t paste and scis: ts production the Stcn- , do.rd, which lias attained such a position. I That -<'0,% proprietor can really afford to employ eavesdroppers to report to hepd qiur rs any dispaiv :lug remarks regardi.^.'at sublime production, or its propvietor. We must therefore be careful of^e "Is:?-/' of the Standard. For the be.iefit of the public m general, I cay beware ! Not of the Welsh Blacksmith ; but of the news extractor., Taking for granted that T am the mdi .."dual referred to, I can challenge M'Minn to produce any accounts owing by me to him, and I w-11 prodir contras, and then the public can judge for themselves, as ; to the.uuth of the paragraph' *in question.-. "'& For' M'Minn's sole benefit, I advise him.no be careful. He has attacked ' -Editors, Brewers, and others, even a Blacksmith, and likewi" *a " Tuffy." My past career wiHce: '*nly stand the light of day- Such, perhaps, is not lecase with the Editor, who has certainly got the cheek of " Old Nick."— l am &c, D. R. JONES.
