We have been no little amused in reading the
last Republican, TO witness the excessive volley
of unadulterated hlackguardism that has esca-
ped from its Uery genlemanly editor! Allison
knows that the people of the county look upon
him as knave by nature, rascal by choice
and blackguard by instinct, We have detect
ed and exposed him in an act of petit swndling,
6lching from the pockets of our honest taxpayers
a large sum of money, and the fellow thereupon
becomes as mad as March hare or bear with
sore paw! We verify believe that if Allison per-
severes in the course he has pursued for the last
two years, he is destined to spend the remainder
of his days in the Penitentary! and it would be
an act of charity for his friends Gf he has any,)
to conEne him in close room under the charge
of some teacher of moaly and humanity, until
he exhibits some symptoms of repentance for his
unboundod wickedness!
We have charged Allison, in his publication
of the exhibit of the Receipts and Expenditures
of this county, with flchng from the treasury
some 800 unnecessarily. We have charged
him (on his own authority of boasting that this
act of swindling was done for the purpose of
paying part of his old debts. And 10 escape
from the unpleasant position in which he is pla-
ced, he heaps a pyramid of abuse upon the head
of our late worthy Auditor, Mr. Sharp. Mr.. S.
needs no eulogy from US. He is too well known
by the people of Harrison county 10 be in any
wise injured by the poisoned shafts of malice,
which are thrown at him by midnight maraud-
er and assassin.
We now have to notice another act Of swind-
ling on the part Of Allison. The ''Delnquent
List of Lands and Town Lots" is published in
the last Republican, and is spread over one-third
more space than is necessary, as any printer
knows who will examine it. Each line is ruiz
over three columns Of that paper, when it could
) have been put in two with all ease. Last year
/, we published the same kind of matter in two CO.
} umns of the Sentinel; but we suppose Allison
wished to 6ch more money from the county trea-
Isury, to pay his old debts!
t The Republican says, 'Mr. Edney cannot, in
J any emergency, draw more than $3.50 per year
for his services" We learn from the best au-
thorty that this is false. On the 18th of March
last, (see pamphlet laws, page 1897 an act was
passed which contains the following provision
viz: "provded, further, that it shall not be the
) duty of county or township officers to keep cash
, books. after the passage of this act, unless the
same shall be ordered by the commissioners Of
r such county" We are informed that the Com.
r missioners of Harrison county do not require any
, of the officers to keep cash books, or keep any
account whatever Of the money they receive, anC
the same course is pursued in all the neighboring
counties. Mr.. Edney, we presume, does not keeI
cash book at this time, and we have no doub
i, but that he will make all the money he can on
of his Office, and do all in his power to make the
people of the county pay Allison's debts.
u The Republican charges us with being Ma
the American!! Most wonderful discovery ~!
! We believe that we have written at least ffly
newspaper columns against Native Americanism
We are, too, native of the Emerald Isle, whicl
fact should, of itself, be sufficient 10 answer al
such ridiculous charges. We called Mr.. Edne,
an "English Tory" because We understood from
various sources, that he is continually eulogsin,
the Government of Great Britain, and fndin.
fault with the Government which affords hin
protection No person but traitor and tor
would do such thing. But we do not suppos
that Mr.. Edneys British predictions, Wilt tn
least injure him in the estimation of the fedora
3 tory party Of this part OF the country. We have
no objections to every EngIishman bidding good
bye to Victoria and the titled fools who sunounc
her, but we do protest against them bringing
their monarchical prejudices with them to tn
' United States.
