shall, however, yet allude to two Others and
take leave OF the gentleman relying for our further
cess against the schemes of the Rough and Ready Club,
and all other combinations, the justice and purity Of
our cause and the honest avowal of our principles In
the meantime would call the notice OF the gentleman to
the following lines which hope he will treasure in
his memory previous to attempting again to perperate
his charges:
" Alui qui met un lrein la furie DIES hots
Salt aussi les mcchants, arreteI leurs complots."
Mr. Walach charges us with publishing documents
of varied charactersome designed for the North others
for the Southland says: Our club has obtained by
purchase 200 copies of locooco pamphlet issued since
the presidential election, and sent them to prominent
wings over the Unlon and remarks upon the character
of the pamphlet. Now, have said before and again
repeat that we have circulated no documents in one
section OF the Union that not perfectly willing
10 expose to every man, woman, and child in the 9TH
err; And with respect to the document to which he
aludes, we have all the summer sent them broadcast
everywhere. This the gentleman assumes not to have
known, and thinking he had discovered very important
fact out OF which he might make some little capital to
help his sinking cause he or the Rough and Ready Club
caused to be purchased 200 copies, and sent them call
over The Union. Really this is most precious confess
sion, and thank the Rough and Ready Club for their
kindness IN giving circulation to our documents but II
would have much preferred giving them ourselves than
that they should have degraded themselves by purchasing
stolen goods. Did the Rough and Ready Club purchase
those pamphlets from the officers of the Democratic As
socation or Of any aoho had The right to sell them?
They know that they did not, and that the person who
sold them obtained them dishonesty. In MORALS well
in law, the receiver bad the thief and he who
purchases stolen goods. knowing them to be stolen, IS
subject to the same disgrace and punishment if con-
victed as the thief who stole them
Mr. Waach also says lie has found US (the democras)

anything wrong, and not had the cunning to hide from
