Living nil GILL;

The last "Guernsey Jeifssonian, " published |
by hing BY tho name Of Gill, and edited by
drunken, iOafHg backyard, whom we will
not condeseend to name, eontnins the following
notice in reference 10 our connection with the
"Froe Press"
Orchard HaIlon, formerly Of tho "Guernssy
Tines" is ogan asirde Of the editorial tripod,
having taken charge Of the "Carr0H Free
Press" published al CarrolIIon, Carroll county
Ohio.
Pecunarily, we wish him luck. but political
ly, we hope his efforts may be crowned with no
better success than they were in Guernsey Co.
We trust, however, that the Wings oi Carroll
will not force him TO leave the Pres 10 the
same cruel manner as did the Wings OF Guem-
sew compel him TO leave the "Tmes," even
should be there. as he did here, "gye aid aud
comfort" to the Democratic parry.
10 the above article the lying scamp charges
that we were compelled by the Wings Guern-
soy $50 leave the Times" which is basely false.
No Wing in Guernsey county ever iOtimated 10
US anything of the kind; but on the contrary,
the Wings Of Guernsey nObly sustained US du-
ring our connection with that paper, and we left
il with larger circulation than it ever before
had.
The lying "pup," also, in,imaies that We
gave aid and comfort to the Democratic party.
But what are the laclsl We took charge Of
the Times in January '46. Atthe October e.
lection in '45 the entire Democratic ticket, Mr.
Lawrence excepted, was elected by majorties
averaging. we believe, about one hundred; and
Mr.. Lawrence who was defeated by one vote,
would have been elected by at least 100 MAORI
ty had it not haye been for the Gale letter. In
'46 the Wing candidate for Representative was
defeated by six voles-in al by 33 and in '4a
by 35. 1t is false, therefore, thatwe, in any way
during our connection with the "Times" or Al
any other time, ever gave "aid and comfort" &c
the democratic party. 1t is also ais: that any
Whgin Guernsey county, ever intimated 10 us
even, desire that we should dispose Of the
Times establishment. During our connection
with that paper we received the united supper
of the Wing party, and the support of portion
of the democratic party. also, Notwithstanding
the frequent lectures read 10 them, through IhC
columns of the Jeffersonan, for so doing
We have headed our article "lying Bill Gill,
and we intend 10 prove that even his own part!
look upon him as a notorious liar-as unworlh!
Of belief. He has been charged by his otcI
partner, T. w. LORD, Democrat, with PER
JURY, and was arrested and tried before justice
. Beatty, upon the charge of said Lord, for tn
crime of PERJURY; and the Evidence Of hi
guilt was sufficiently strong to induce the justice
to hold him to bail Such is the character, 70
truth and veracity, Of the individual who makes
the above attack upon US, without any caus
whatever. We regret that we have been com
PEELED to notice and expose 81 contemplate
l. wretch, and could only have been induced 10 d
d il in self defence, and under existing circun
e stances. We return him his filthy sheet, an
). shall continue 10 return them, unopened, if ser
: to US hereafter.
