AArSuppose you throw In some ot those
Hspurious tickets" so we can hand them ov'
er to the leaders of the tate Wing party -
Eagle, GALPHrN ORGAN,
The above is taken from Auditor Jefriss
organ, and intimates that fraudulent tick
cts were printed at the Gazette office. The
editor of the Eagle has proven himself to be
a cowardly and dishonest politician; one
who dare not come out in an open and man
ly manner against the corruption OF his po-
fitical colleagues; one who is subservien'
to the behests of political knaves. Even
after the editor of the Telegraph had come
out and acknowledged the printing OF the
tickets in question, the editor OF the Eagle
has the cowardly audacity to iislnuale that
they were printed by US. The editor ofthe
Eagle kr.e,c, on the day of the election, that
those tickets were not printed al this Of
fce, and he also knelo that they tcsre print
ed at the Office of the Lancaster Telegraph.
Now, if he ends any fault with the person
who printed these tickets, and he pretends
to think it an pnpardOnable sin, why does
he not direct his battery against the Isle-
graph? Is he afraid to brook its indigna-
ton? Is he afraid the Democracy will re-
pudiste their old organ that has battled for
them ever since the organization of the
Democratic party in this county, and fall in
with what the Eagle calls ga bastard Sheet
of only four years GROWTH
One would think that the Acknowledged
organ Of the gallant Democracy of old Fair
field would frown down this dishonest broth
or, and not try to screen his corruption by
endeay oring to fasten his guilt on an inno-
Cent person. What does the Telegraph say!
Simply this:
"Some very disinterested persons are en-
deavoring to make capital to our injury out
of the printing of the tickets used oy the
temperance men at the late election. we
printed their tickets"
Now who are these every disinterested
persons!'' Why, the fact is, the plural
should not have been used at all by the
Telegraph, and instead of saying "some very
disintcrested persons are cndeavorins to
make capital to our injury" he should have
said, "the editor of the Ohio Eagls,our broth
er, is endeavoring to injure us by charging
us with corruption"
The truth the matter is, that neither the
editor Of the Eagle nor the editor of the Tel
egraph have the manly courage to come bold
ly out and express their abhorrence of one
another. Though if either of them could
secretly, in the dark, and assassin like, stab
the other, politically, he would readily do
it. But their blind and trucking devotion
to the spoils, completely shackles their
independence, and although the corruption
of the Auditor and Treasurer was known to
both these Democratic, Libsrty-loUing organs
the promise of few dollars worth of pub
lie printing was sufficient inducement to
keep them silent.
We can respect and honor man who op-
poses us on the ground of difference in pr;n-
ciple, and who will meet US in manly and
courteous manner, endeavoring, by argu-
ment, and with an honest intention to set
before US what he considers to BIO important
truth, and addresses himself to our under
standing and conscience; but the man who
opposes US merely for the sake of political
prefermeut and the spoils of party, we look
Upon with too much contempt to counte-
nance either publicly or privately
We trust that this will explain the reason
WHY we have never contradicted the false and
lcowardly charges of the editor of the Eagle,
khat we were allied to the Temperance and
Abolition parties. So far as the Abolition
party is concerned, we think that it is do
ing more to create strife and dissention
among all classes Of our citizens, and do
ing more to endanger the permanency Of
the Union and to fasten still tighter the
chains of slavery, than any other party
that has ever been arrayed against Amer
ican Institutions or organized on Ameri-
can soil.
The Temperance question is great
moral question, and one that should be en-
tirely disconnected from politics, 1t is too
good question to be controlled by politi-
esl hucksters, and used by them to ride
Into Office, and we hope the day is not
tfar distant when intemperance shall cease
,to exist and the rum.seller shall be no
more.
We have seen proper to make these re-
;marks in this connection, inasmuch as the
editor OF the Eagle has falsely charged US
with befriending coalition between the
Temperance and Free Soil parties with the
Wings. We never did and never shall be.
friend such move. The Whig party is good
enough for US; its principles are as precious
NOW as ever, and great deal more needed
And although we may be defeated in every
state, and routed in every township, you
will still find US battling for their suprema'
,,cy.
y Will the editor of Eagle have the manli
ness and Independence to take back his
I false charges against the editor of this pa
per, that we were allied with the Temper
! sance aud Abolition parties! Will he take
