last election. when he openly urgedthe"
to dram the line.
/ In exercising my duty as an editor,
l alluded to this speech az one Of that
character, and for this act the who'll
kennelparty hounds are unloosed W
on me! Tray, Blanche, and Sweet
heart, at the beck Of their masters,
have struck upon the trail for the pur-
pose Of hunting me dorm, and all the
puppies echo the cry; even some at
tCentreville and Connersville, whose
eyes are just beginning to ope, are
whining for their master at my ex-l
pense.
To be charged with falsehood by a
man Of any resPectability, would be
mortifying and unpleasant. But to be
charged with il by Dan. Reid, a man
who has been feeding at the public
crib for years, and who is now fatten-
ing on the "spoils Of victory" and en-
Toying an office under the general gov
eminent, which has been given to him
as reward for performing the duties
imposed upon him by his masters-a
man who has been publicly branded in
the streets OF Centreville as a liar and
a siandercr, by one Ct the most respect
able citizens Of Wayne county, can ex-
cite no other feelings than those Of the
most hearty contempt for the futile eff
forts Of a creature who is willing to
lend himself for SO vile purpose
The abuse and ISLANDERS Of a creature
so destitute of character and standing
in society, would be but subject Of
merriment, when accompanied with
his name; as it is we'll known that the
skunk which was publicly skinned at
Centreville last summer, to the great
annoyance Of the oifactories Of those
who witnessed the operation, could
lproduce no other injury by his venom
Gus attacks, than the disagreeable
odour which arises from contact with
his person.
Although Gen. M'Carty and his sa-
tel'ites have seen proper to charge me
with falsehood, and denounce me to
the public, they have never pointed to|
any thing, as editorial, which ! have
published, except the article referringl
to tie party speech Of PosEY. II the
matters stated by me concerning MI
Carly are false, why do they not put
their finger upon the falsehood? Be-
cause few men have certified that in
their opinion Gen. M'Carty's speech
was not calculated to excite the ques-
ton, they will endeavor to palm upon
the public the belief that all l have
stated concerning him is false. Why
not Dan. publish my expose Of my de-
posit vote?
1t is we'll known to the public that
there is about Richmond, connected
with es1taR naEd%pams e IT, az Sth he Re5d
of whom stands Dan. Reid, who seem
determined by every kind of misrcpre-
and SANDER to destroy the
reputation of Mr.. Smith, and Of every
friend OF his who has independence e.
nough to advocate tue cause Of the u.
;. Bank, or the measures with which
Mr.. Smith IS identified. 1t is for this
sin that have incurred their dispieas-
ure, and am well apprlsed that had
they and their ''gineral'' the power,
their vindictive malice would not stop
snort OF the psostratlon Of my paper,
and my ut, destruction. But when
notice that tine general and his min !,
ons only get 7Osubscribers to the press
ne brought to this place to break me
Town, and to sustain the question IN =
his district, i am encouraged with the
belief, that from such men ! have no.
hing to fear. One Of the individuals .
lbout Richmond, who is conspicuous
rom his goggles. lately attempted to e
arse subscription among the ''rhole .
'og men to get a quantity Of libellous !,
natter printed and circulated through
he district on the eve of the election, !
Or the purpose Of defeating Mr.. .
ninth. From men Of tins character II
otbing like justice can be expected.
] will now suggest few queries to :
he selfinPortant Dan Reid; and then :.
cave SO disgusting a subject. You =
ill certainly admit Dan, that you =
ave not sense enough to write the =
rt.cie which you have fathered. Was g
gu assisted in writing it by goggles. or
y the little flaxen haired dandy of !,
who with the servility of =
lackey. had the honor Of carrying the =
ertihcate from Conners,ille to Rich. -
