MORE OF THE SAME SORT.
That our democratic friends may see
the light in which they are held by the
federal editors Of other portions of this
State, we publish the following from
the Cadlz Republican, the federal organ
Of that place:
NV. F. Hunter, is out as a candidate for Rep.
fesentative in Monroe county. The locofoco pa.
per warns the people from voting for him, because
he is a ,ohig. 1t must be great crime, in Mon
roe, to vote for whig!-in that benighted region,
60 much in want of schools, to enlighten the minds
ofits darkened populace. We have heard it said,
they continue to vote for General Jackson at each
Presidential election, as though the old General
was still at the helm of political affairs"
Now, citizens of Monroe, what do
you think of this fellow and the Chron-
icle editor of St. Clairsville, specimen
Of whose effusions we gave you in our
last weeks paper? Your recollection
Of the unblushing falsehoods, published
in l84o, by Ogle Of gold-spoon memo
ry, is, no doubt, quite vivid; as is also
your recollection uf the thousand and
one Roorback fabrications of 1914;
yet for plain, unvarnished lying this
federal editor of Cadiz outstrips the
whole. Who told him that the demo-
Gratis Of Monroe "continued to vote for
General Jackson at each presidential
election, as though the old General
was still at the helm fpolitical affairs?"
No one. Yet had they done SO, they
would have voted with a consciousness
that they were casting their ballots for
as pure patriot and as sound a states
man as ever lived. Does not this coon
editor know that Monroe county has
furnished efficient teachers for several
of our best colleges and academies?-
Franklin college, in this coon editors
own county, has had the advantage, in
one ofits principal departments, of the
instruction Of native born son of
Monroe. Yet this thing will pirate
about the want of schools in Monroe,
who is himself mere tool TO do the
dirty work of a set of bankers, and
who, having no means of his own, has
sold himself, body and breeches, and
works in this style for his bread and
butter. Can't you, Mr.. Editor, find
more honorable way of making a liv-
ing than by slandering your neighbors?
We have many worthy citizens in
this county who would not hesitate
long about knocking banker down if
he was insulted by one, and it might
not, therefore, be very safe for these
bank editors to visit dark Monroe. But
come along, all ye lean, bank-bought
editors, and we will do the best we can
for you've will find for you more
iaudable, if not more profitable en-
pIoyment than editing bank organ.
Does any one believe that patriotic
motives induce these federal editors to
keep their mouths open, like crocodiles
in fly-time, rallying the people to come
to the polls on Tuesday next and save
their banks from being overthrown by
the locofocos? Why is it that they
are eternally abusing the people Of
Monroe, if it is not because they will
not fall down and worship the god of
their idolatry-banks?" Is it not be-
cause their bread and butter depends
upon the issue and not the good of the
country? These questions can be easi-
ly answered. In the opinion of these
bankites the citizens of Monroe would
be great and enlightened people, if
they would only give their support to
the banking law of last winter.
