NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ABUSE.

:
mistaken. when we remember what illusions
were made 10 the Editor of this paper in public
| meeting not long since.
This attack upon US is peculiarly character
istic of the men and their political principles
The present attitude of political parties, and their
leaders, is, Oh the one hand, Capital; Oh the 9TH
J err, Labor-on the one hand, Prodigality; on the
other, Thrft-On the one, Luxury on the 9TH
| or, Economy. In fine, all the domination, tyr
amy, and vices. which are concomitants to the
! ensIavlng o: men, whipping women. and steal
| Ing babies; are opposed to the general economy,
| the universal education, the industrious labor.
| the refined feeling, the brotherIy attachment, the
| religious sentiment, and widespread equality
| which rcigns among men; where all are willing
to do their share for the general good, where
there are no masters and no slaves. This is not
a question between North and South, simply
! 1t is not a question between Slavery and Free
| DOM simply. The issues to be made, as they
now exist, are. in fact, MONEY against Men !;
! Go. D against COP.
The personal abuse which we receive is no
common share. Had we been educated law
| yer, we should not receive the unmcasured op-
/ probrium and unscanned epithets which are
! hourly conjured up in their brains to be pcrodi-
! cally ehowered upon Us. No "leow feeling"
would make them little kind, even if our course
was more opposed to their inhuman politics than
il is sow These bitter assassins are mad be-
cause We presumed to abandon the jack plane
! for the goose quil-bccause we sometimes talk
and write. instead Of saw and plane. They are
willing we should dress lumber, but they don't
relish the way we sometimes dress them.
They think l.. J. Farwell has no right to be
! Governor. because he is not lawyer. Do they
think we have right TO edit this paper, because
! we show them up once in a while! Do they
! think we have no right to pursue the oCCupa-
ton we see fit? We built houses till we were
thirty-lour years old. Perhaps, if they will treat
Us decently, We will resume the occupation
again. We are not ashamed of the business,
| nor the men who work at it. We should not OBJ
Jet to their going 10 work at it, Gycn if they had
| been lawyers till they were forty years old. We
! should recommend some Of those who make
politics trade, and are always in the streets, or
at caucuSes or conventions, instead Of being in
their Offices, to pursue this course it would be
better for the community, perhaps better for
themselves. We say. then, to these men who
hate us because We have left for a s ason the
carpenter $ bench, We cannot alter our course
to save any insults, snccrs, jbels, or lies, that
may be invented about US. Instead Of denying
them in this community, where we have lived
/ ten years, we will publish them for you.
I Oar S.IIe OF writing IS almost as offensive to
/ these gentlemen as the mater. Perhaps they
would Ike to have Us take pattern from them,
and iuaiUuaie a half column of faI,ehoods by
! asking questions, when they dare not make a
! direct charge Of one of them. This is charac-
/ tcristic Of the pcttilorger who strung together
/ what follows.
! Those legal gentlemen, who are anxious to 90
/ to Madison on the IIuukcr Ticket have lived in
+ this county year or two. One Of them was a
/ voter in this State last Fall for the first time
