charge Of Col. Weaycr's defeat. resulting from
spurious tickets, directly say that democrats did
not know who they voted for. must eOnfe
that within al my acquaintance, know Of no
one who votes without knowing who for, or who
docs not read all the names, or have them reaf.
Then this resolution which caps the climax, al
brought from the pcnt-up knowledge Of this
twenty years Editor, the startling fact that he,
individually, himself telegraphed to two town
ships, and perhaps collectively, went into three
more, for the sole purpose of electing Colonel
Weaver, and asks Did I. ]. North, Daniel
Brewer or G. A. Allen do as much ?" II 10
means as much tclegraphing or travelling, for
my part answer no: if he means in voting,
let the returns Of the election tell. Democrats
here, vote as they please, and they also read
the names of all the candidates, and if they do
not in Madison, had not Mr.. Gcssner have bet
ter stayed there, and read for them Such con-
tcmptble subterfugcs as these, think, cannot
cover up all of the faults set forth in these res
Olutions, Of which our Editor complains SO
much.
Now Democrats of Richland, pause and listen,
for this 7. ]. North, in particular, is arraigned
before the high tribunal of an Editor of twenty
years standing, his past political lifc-his pres
ent hopcs-his future prospects are brought
glaringly before you for decision and you
must necessarily decide that he is IL disorgau-
iscr, for your Eltor says SO. But in his sum
ming up he misstates, dare | say tells fllsch-
mean lie. lie says T. J. North was once
elected Surveyor of this County, through
County Convention, and resigned that office for
a seat in the Legislature. think that is not SO
in fact, know it to be false. Must dare the
issue IF so, I'll do it. SO much for the past
how for the present and future. At present
he says | am figuring for seat in Congress.
viii admit that if my restless ambition could
get me Il seat there, would figure closer, and
carry out the fractions further than Johnny Y.
Glcssncr and his friends did, at the Convention
in Plymouth, when Gen. VIM Mclaughlin with
drew his name from that body, and Isaac Gass
could not even get the Convention to take one
vote for John Y. Glcssncr. ] would feel proud,
nay, think my restless ambition would be per-
fcctly satisfied, if the Democracy of this Dis
trict would elect me to Congress. The honor of
having my name enrolled as NJ. C. would do
me some good, but the eight dollars a day, for
doing nothing, ought to excite the ambition of
any man. And now, Mr.. Glessncr, if | do fig
urc for this seat, what are you going to do about
it? Perhaps Telegraph and Travel You will
have to count the talies right, when all this
happens.
We have been branded with being endowed
with the crushing principle, with being disor-
ganizcrs, with everything that could convey an
idea that We wanted to rule or ruin; of pcram-
bulating the county, which is false as yet. What
l. for one, may do to cripple the subscription list
of the Shield depends very much upon the
course the Editor sees fit to adopt in his abuse of
myself and ncighbor. I. J. NORTH.
