The Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1852-1853, 1853-06-29

read your artic.e, person would be led To-
the conclusion that you were. VIII you be
so good as to inform US? We should like to
know.
The next article is one in relation TO Treas
urer Hilbert collecting the Tax of the Cad
il Branch Bank. Here it is in full:
Treasurer Hilbert entered the Cadiz
Bank, few weeks ago, under the Crowbar
act, and took from it S3,628 so the amount
oi tax and penalty charged against the ins:i-
tuition. Mr.. Hilbert's fees for enforcing
the act was. S172, 2,79-the Bank destiuctiy-
es pay their agent liberally y.-Republican.
EFSuppose that Mr. Hilbert's fees were
SI75,79, was he not justley entitled to them?
In your last sentence you throw cut a spea'
king insinuaton that he RECEIVED more for
his fees than what he was entitled to when
you say, the Bank Gestruetives pay their a.
gents literally The impression has gone
abroad, iron, this same article quoted above,
that Mr.. H. used the crowbar, as we notice
in the Steubenville Herald, in collecting the
tax of the bank, which is not the case
SeRtiaeI,
Certainly Mr.. Hilbert is legally entitled to
the fees allowed for enforcing the Crobar act,
and it is not true that we have insinuated"
that he received more for his fees" than
the crowbar law allows him. We did not
intimate that Mr.. Hilbert used the crowhar,
nor has any such impression gone abroad
Nobody but the editor of the Sentinel has
placed such a construction upon what we
said, and he did it because it suited his pur-
poses, and not because our language was
susceptible of it. The Steubenvllle Herald
did not say that Mi. Hilbert hao used the
crowbar.-RepuJIicqn.
We are glad that you published at
least apart of our article, and we thank
you for it, for your readers can have an op-
portunity of seeing what we said is correct
You did inslnuate that Mr.. Hilbert did re-
ceive more for his fees than he was entitled
to, and your article shows it. Every hon
est man that reads it will say so, and they
will also say that you intended to convey
that impression. But to change the subject
alittle. Has not Mr.. H. the same right to
collect the tax Of the bank, that he has to
collect it from either you or me, if we do not
pay ours? Answer that, if you please
Should bank, have any more privileges
than an individual. We think not. Do
you lhink they should?
The next article in relation to your call
ing poor people 'paupers," explains itself
you make the following admission which
proves all that we said;
''In speaking Of the exemtion, last sum-
mer, we said that the tow, virtually Pauper-
lied those who owned less than $500 worth
of property, by refusing to permit them to
bear their proportion OF the burden OF taxa
ton"
What do youmeanby The word "pauperz-
ed, 'if you do notmean tnat those thatare not
worth $500 are paupers? In the same arti-
Gle he uses the following modest language
Modest, because it comes from such IL man
as the editor of the Republican;
"The personal allusion in the above ex-
tract is unworthy our notice. Our readers
are aware that we seldom reply to or con
tradict anything that appears i'll the "Sent-
incl" We abstain from doing 50 Tor the
purpose of keeping out of a blackguard per-
sonal controversy with the editor, whom we
are disposed TO treat with common courtesy
through our paper and else where"
After reading the above modest effort, then
read the following from the same pnmber OF
that paper:
1--WE beg our snarling ilnatared neigh
bor to keep cool-don't become excited my
dear sir, while the weather is so very warm
you will have sufficient time to abuse us
after the "dog-days" are over"
Well. it may be your "common courtesy"
to calla person "snarlish, "ilinatured." &,.,
as we do not know that you have any "cour-
tesy'' about you. What we are every per-
son that is acquainted with us knows
There is nothing sneaking or hidden about
US. We said that he had considerable Of
political hypocricy about him, and he calls
that "person allusion." Those that read
your paper, can tell, whether there is any
political hypocricy about you. We do not
expect to 'abuse" you, but whenever you
show any of your political hypocricy, we
will be very apt to inform you oft; and you
may call it "abuse or whatever else you
choose. We have no objection to the name
you call it-anything to suit yourself.
We have heard Of drowning men catch
ing at straws," but the following from the
same number of that paper, will show one
of the editors last efforts to save his party
in this county.
"Some good postmasters have been reno
we'd, but it was the duty of the present ad-
ministration to remove them because they
arc wings, and a whig has no business tc
hold Office under democratic admipistra'
tion, neither has democrat any business to
hold Office undera wing administration
That is our opinion expressed in few
words. ."-Sentinel.
The aboveis the closing paragraph of an
article, in the last Sentinel, justitying the re-
rnovals that have taken place in this county
1t will be seen that the editor admits that
s.some good Postmastets have been remoy-
ed" and claims that it was the duty OF the
administration to, remove them because they
