MAD D0G.--We have been informed that
mad dog matte his appearance on the premises of
Mr. Garesche to-day, and has bitten two dogs
and pig. lie is supposed to have come into this
town. We hope our citizens will be on their
guard.
II has becoms the uniform practice Of the Adams men,
TO drag from oblivion all the vile charges that they think
can he made affect the character of Cen jackson, and
also deny tina, he has done any essential service his
country We have often given testimony from their
Witnesses proving the many malicious SANDERS that have
been invented, 10 be without any plausible foundation in
truth yet though refled by their acts, they still
continue TO press onward, utterly disregardng principle,
and in open disrespecs Of themselves. AS faithful scn
nes the editors who espouse the of the people,
find to be their duty follow up these nclaous temts
as ofen they repeated, and 10 dspcl the delasoh
they intended ecc, by the magic Of truth So far
the character Of candidate has stood firm against all
their assaults, and gives proof, that sier having thus
Dassed unslaned through much persecution and caun
ny, we haze nothing 10 fear from the future. This
,ity however will lu into apathy, but shs
e With nabaed vigor, to pull down the strong holds
of fsehood and expose the indignation Of insucd
oeople lie wckedness that forms almost the only ground
.f operations by which the advocates OF the present in
cumbcnf, hope to sustain him.
10 day. we have published the unaarlaus resolution of
the Congress Of the United staes of February 1915, Of
fering the THANKS JACKSON,
for lis gca and pat otc services for his undan'ed valor
aud skill, in he various stations to which he
las called to his country We wish read
bear in mind that this vote of thanks by the Congress
Of the Cned Slaes is that sort Of high, honorable dpo
ma that rarely conered few men in this country have
been thus Distinguished, (and fear such honorable dis
.ton waits upon sill fewer in times,) and is
given but as ward for the best services that gives
to Ills coun,ty reward for the purest intentions and
The most nrsu,el reputation. Referring 10 the time
hcn this vote was given, find it to be subsequent to
The periods Wien jackson has been charged, by the Ca.
nnatois Of the age with murder adultery, violation of
the constitution aud laws conspiracy with Burr and all the
black ca aogue that has been invented by backer hearts,
and distributed 10 the people by still blacker hands.
THIS Unanimous vote Of thanks, is evidence that all the
charges that are now made with such industry and zeal,
o tran actions laid previous to its date, are false and un
founded and the Congress of the United States the wit
ness against the minons of power, and they had any
conscience left this witness would them with confu
,on But It is not only vote Of thanks that is here pre-
scnted but the accompanied by gold medal con-
errcd in the honorable way that such an event could
take place in any part of the world by the man. holding
tie highest station on the earth the President OF free
people.
In concluding these hasty remarks we mus. ask our read
ers to enter a little into the nature OF this affair. 1t IS no
