If the editor of the South Carolina Temperance Advocate is done with our "Buncombe wedding." we have a question to ask him: Brother, how is it you suffer correspondents to steal poetry from the Salmagundi and call it their own?— Answer us that!—Highland Messenger.
Why really Brother, that is more than we can answer. From our heart we wish they would do no worse than steal poetry. but the folks down this way steal the very coat off an Editor's back. and if we can't prevent that, you may be sure we cannot prevent their stealing from Salmagundi. But if the Messenger will point out the stolen article we will restore it to Salmagundi, and if he sees anything of our stolen over-coat up in Buncombe, we hope he will reciprocate the favor.
