Madness ofParty.


suffice to make any rejecting man shudder;
In the election of 1928 or g the town OF AdGH's
in that county gave some eighty votes for JACK
aor and hut one for Adams. The next (Jackson)
Legislature, upon petition Of the inhabitants, al
once changed its name to Jackson. lis politics
have remained the same ever since-only one
voter being opposed to the Loco foco party.
Il appeared in the investigation of a complaint
made by this solitary Wing who is quite aged,
:. Temperance man, and hos large family, that
Ill sorts Of measures have from time TO iime been
sorted TO with view OF changing his vote and
making him drink rum but without effect Last
winter his house was assaiicd by the young men
Of The town with clubs and stones, he was beaten,
and MS family abused in the mos. brutal manner
lie applied TO two Justices OF the Peace Loco
there aeng no othe') Tor protection and redress;
on, they dismissed him comior,less. This EN-
'.odeacd the rioters, and they continued to assam

Wing lawyer IL Court that there Was and could
he nothing against the characterof the old man
OF his family, aud that Political difference was
he cause Of these outrsges. Three OF four Of
the rioters were indicted, convicted and sentenced
but it is believed that the craf,ler lnsngators
Of these atrocities go clear.
These are not singular facts. We have wit
messed occurrences which though less revolving,
eynced The same spirit. The truth IS that the
bru,aliles of the Loco Foco press, lis beastly
personal SANDERS, its lies about the hostility OF
the Rich 20 the Poor, its groundcss charges OF
aristocracy, Assumption, &c. are directly caLcu-
lated to produce the state of feeling from which
t iesc iniquities took rise. We have not usually
found the spirit Of that party so bitter and hate
iul elsewhere as in New Hampshire, though Ohio
may possibly dispute the had eminence; but
1--WE them such mpjoritics in other sections as
they have in Coos County, especially in jackson,
and the Wigs would have to deport themselves
very meekly to escape personal outrage.
II The Plebeian publishes adniringly the
Journal of Commences Free Trade letter from
Western Virginia to which we fully replied on
Thursday, and saysof our answer,

wl be removed
Then ,chy didn't you copy 1t, Pleb. if you

verls, not omittinga wordl we placed both sides
before our readers ; you invite your readers 10
examine both sides, but you let them see only
one! You occupy twoof your columns with an
attempt to answer our argument, when you tell
your readers that it is itself complete death blow
to Protection. Then why not publish it as such,
instead of your own unlucky attempt to do what
YOU say we accomplished
OF course we don't expect the Free Trade
papers to copy our arguments--they know good
deal better All we object to is their pretending
