1t is extremely Notifying errors which ap
per IN anonymous communications for, by entering
upon their corrections the individual made to
species of degradation from the alone of
bringing to the scrbblcrs
The liberty taken by this description of writer's and the
unblushng falschoods with which they inundate the
publc is calculated, not only bring the public press
into dsreputc, but also destroy all confidence in II
These pretended statements of facts thrown upon the
public, and the public urged by the editors who GIVE
them publicity, to believe what the writers themselves
is calculated to produce the hghes degree of nausea and
disgust The prevalence of this hateful principle par
ucnary during periods of high political excitement has
rendered Inc public press SO prositued that instead of
becoming blessing it has, alarming extent becoe
me curse OF the country In giving 10 Inc illusions
u irresponsible PERSONS suffers itself TO be 0rcvonsI
impesea upon by the worthless and proflioatc2
PERSONS whose entire restitution of moral worth if the
communications appeared over their proper SIGNATURES
would be complete security against the injury contem
plated; they could not under any circumstance COM
mand the belief of the public.

before the public is ndspensably necessary that the
charge should be endorsed with the name of RESPONSE
bic personone who must sustain his allegations or be
held up as the fl subject ofpublc execration the event
of his stating what is not If this rule had been OBJ
served and its principles carried should in all pro-
babity either have never heard of Col McCoys hav-
ing been charged with msrepesenng the wishes of the
great majority of his constituents alleged; or if
charged over proper name that and the want of
evidence would have been found in every respect in
sufficient to sustain the allegation
IT is only necessary to take glance of the political
history OF the district To form toerably accurate csti-
mate OF the two contending political parties.
At the last Presidential election, when the Bank be-
came openly arrayed against Jackson the majority for
jackson in Brooke PSI, and that of Tyler So making
336. The reported of Ohio county after the pos
were compared and Purged at Wheeling, was eco ma
Jorlty Tor Clay But informed that owing 10 the
commissioners not being sworn who took the poll for
the Fish Creek district although they earnestly request
ed the acting magistrate in that part of the district 10
qualify them, the vote of that district was stricken off
The vote given at the Fish Creek district we learn was
66 for Jackson and for Clay If we are correct as
we believe we are If the vote Of the district could have
been counted, Clays majority i'll Ohio county would
only have been l4S giving Jackson majority in the
whole district of 1913.
This gaseonadng writer vauntingy asks Col McC,ov
on the subject of voting for Mr. u. w. Leigh how
does your district stand = If he citizen of the
District which questionable ne would have known
That no man could be named who is odous and cor
daily detested Not only does this sentiment pervade
the district represented by Col Mccoy, but also the
whole OF Western Virginia He is hated because of his
ultra observation-disclosures of his opposition to every no
bearing the semblance of hatred

untiring hatred of Jefferson and the measures of
has ADMINISTRATION, with those of the Admnsira
tons OF Madison, Monroe and Jackson--his being
the file leader of the Arstocratic DELEGATION from
Eastern Virginia in the State Convention that gave
us our present amended Constitution, instrument de
tested by western Virginia, and III district
daily hated than in the represented by Col Mccoy
MIR Leigh is hated in Western Virginia because hc ar
gued aud voted against the extension of the right of
suffrage, and because he denied the principle that equal
portions OF white population have right equal por-
tons of political poyer-because Of his hatred 10 and
odous comparison Of the free white laborers of West
ern Virginia with the slaves of Eastern Virginia-bc-
cause Of his agency in bringing about such arrange
ment Of political power in the four great divisions of he
power in the West.
Western Virginia necessarily stands opposed to Mr..
Leigh upon prncipic and the anipahy thus produced
can never be removed To sustain him HAVING
knowledge ofhe facts just enumerated would be turning
renegade to correct principles and Western interests
