A Ganam Response 10 a Proud Defiance.

A few days since we publisheda dashing article
from the Morganlovn Mountaineer, in which The
Editor, referring 10 the brilliant achievements Of
The Northwest, thus imprudenty taunts the irwin
chile "Suabians at strikes US that We can
thrash the Tenth Legion in The way Of large ma
jorit;es." This aroused the pride OF The noble
tenth" and The Shenandoah Sentinel thus gal
lanlly Ietor,s. We canno, give up The convc-
lion that The Tenth Legion is no, TO be beaten
though all praise is due 10 the Northwest for her
extraordinary deeds in The las, Campaign:
"No, quite, neghbor The old Tenth can
poll as many votes as your whole Congresson-
al District; and add her lille sister Page, and
We can almost beat you double You have done
well-bet!eI than many eSpecled-but We ran do
a great deal better Go ona better day awaits
you, if ynn continue 10 improve; bui you never
can thrash The Tenth Legion in The way OF large
majorilies.' BY the way, we are glad 10 know
that our neighbors are bes,nniag 10 do well, as
We have aicaps done What a pity that The good
example Of the old Tenth has been 50 long LOST
upon our good neighbors! But it is better 10 do
good, late than 7pref."
