This comes with peculiarly bad odour from
one claiming for his editorials &smildness and

handy epithets with the editor of the Union,
but decent respect to the party of which we

bauchery, we pronounce him as wifully mis-
representing facts and culpa5c of falsehood.

of debauched drunkards. Two-thirds of the
citizens of this Dnion-a large proportion of
the voters of Mississippi, and a majority of
the freemen in Holmes county, are included in

Simply because they were more cheaply and
easily constructed, & being emblenaticalo the
economy pursued 10y the Wings of 10 and
that to be pursued under the administration
of Gen. Harrison, in Al. Wings of Holmes
county, does it follow that because you choose
to hold your Political meetings in cabins, that
you are drunkards? and yet this is the virtual
declaration of the editor of the Union! "Oh!
shame where is thy blush!"
His illusions to '.striped- balls, ''negroes,"
