Full Text

The editor of the N. H. Statesman professes to have a wonderful skill in discovering the authors of communications in our paper, against whom he often indulges in bitter reproach and invective. One writer, he says, he recognizes as "an old acquaintance under a new name," and often speaks of "the Governor's Squire."

He certainly has not correctly described any writer in our paper, and from what we learn respecting the verbal declarations of the editor, we can inform him, that the person, upon whom his suspicions have fallen, is not the author of the communications to which he alludes:

As the editor of the Keene Sentinel lives in a Yankee State, he is certainly entitled to the privilege of guessing, but if we rightly understand the meaning of "Elm Hill," he has widely missed his mark. Our correspondent does not live on a "Hill," or near an "Elm."
