For The Free Press.
Mr.. EDITOR:

MIX EDlIORs
understand that my article in the last
Free Press has caused considerable futering
among the would be wise ones about your
town. ! am not conscious that my article con.
Iains single statement that ls not true. and
that | am able TO sustain by proof. have been
iniormed that cerlain kind Of aon-deScript.
that has for q short time been cooling about
Legget's garreI, has been giving out in speeches
that my article was "talse." have no inen-
tion of entering into a controversy with such n
thing. but will modesly suggest to him that he
had better wait and see whether the orer.SeerS
Of the poor will permit him to stay, before he
undertakes To give the lie to on old Democrat,
who has fought as many battles for the party
as | have. If, however, he persists in his in
science, may be compelled to give him such
q atraiaiag as alrainlesS lad once wot Of rccoiv-
ed, who hastily left u village undcra shower of
eggs in his rear.
understand also, that James ToIan, ESQ.,,
has been ulterlng similar charges but that, Mr.
Editor, will certainly hurt no one, particularly
among those who have lately seen the Squire.
Lest, however, some honest Democrat may
have forgotten the things 10 which refer,
herewith append few of the facts to sustain
me. Cable, in on article dated Aug 1th, l843,
uses the following language respecting George
Y. Hrmpson, who was then candidate for the
Senate: therefore | feel called upon TO let
your readers see how mean, dishonest, and un-
just Littell is towards one whom he seeks to in
Jure, TO gratty the long pent maignity, growing
out OF the ambitious aspirations for office ofG.
Y. Hampson and his master Dan. McCook."
August 25th, 1843, Cable uses the following
chastc and elegant language towards Mr.. Littell
and other prominent democrats: "My riSibil-
ties are not little aroused at FIapdoodes last
paragraph, about office, printing office, &c.
There he opens up the secret springs that give
tone and animation TO the action of his putrd
heart. Office is the object and hisactions prove
it. Yes, look at him assuming the office Of
Adiutant before he was n year in the county,
thereby violating the laws and Constitution.
Oh! morality where is thy blushl In dismiss
ing this subject post A. L. Liuell as Liar
and COrCard, and hold myself bound to prove it
before any tribunal where | can compel the al.
ten dance of himself and Witnesses"
have taken the above extracts to sustain
what said respecting Cables morality. The
idea OF Joseph Cable posting any body as liar
Is supremey ridiculous, and then so decent.
In l843, the "Carrollon Democrat" was the
name OF the Democratic paper, and by the
way The best paper the party has ever had in
CarroIl county. The following is the language
Cable used with regard to that paper: 81 look
upon that heing, detestabe, and filthy sheet
(the Democrat) as most fatal bore on the De-
mocratic party in Carroll Littell and his
scribblers are sunken so low down, down into
The filthy sewer of defamation and infamy. that
they are past all hope of recovery" That's
rich, to hear 10 talk about infamy. Wonder
ir he would talk that way about New Lisbon.
On the 9th Of Oct, l843, Cable gave utter
nnce to the following effusions in relation to the
stock of the old Jeilersonian. IL will tell the
Flapdoodle editor that fifty dollars was received
by Holmes and The other fifty by Dan. McCooE,
who, in December, l84I, induced the prompt.
