Mn. EDITOR: In the last Grand River
Chronicle can be seen an editorial, giving
cold comfort to the democracy of the Third
Congressional District, in regard to Flour
noy's late overwhelming defeat.
The article in question commences by
showing chow it was DONE and the old no.
litcal sinner who wrote the article "went it
blind" in his efforts to stigmatize the fair
name Of our present high-minded Congress
man, James ]. Lindley, as will be seen by
the following extract:
at seems the old demagogue and the
young demagogue-Benton and Lindley-
worked to each others hand admirably
Lindley promised Benton to vote for him for
President, in the event of the election de-
volving upon the House of Representatives,
provided he could not get Wing; in consid-
Grafton of which promise, Thomas Hull
Benton, ''the party of the first part" agreed
to transfer to Jimmy Jumpup Lind'ey, 'the
party of the second part" all his right, title,
interest and claim to the Dutch, Abolition
lists and Freesoilers in the Third Congress
ional District" &c.
1t is to be regretted that man who has
the ability of Mr.. Darlington should try to
plaster up the late democratic defeat with
such palpable falsehoods as he has in his
wisdom permitted TO appear in his paper
He we'll knows that Mr.. Lindley never pro-
posed any kind Of trade with Thomas H.
Benton. Mr.. Lindley can get plenty of
votes without such kinds of intrigues. Good,
sound and sensible men cannot be kept from
voting for all such men as Mr.. Lindley.-
For the last fifteen or twenty years it has
been the custom of Mr.. Darlington's party
to manufacture bombastic or false charges
TO be used against the wings in every way,
shape and form that could be done, and he
still wishes to adhere to his old tricks of
barnboozlihg, as will be seen by reference to
his article.
As the leaders of the democratic party
have always resorted to tricks of the deep
est hue to sustain themselves in office, it is
not to be wondered at that trickery has be-
come to them second nature. Hence the
cause Cor Mr.. Darlington's false charges
against Mr., Lindley. Mr.. Darlington must
not measure the whig party by his short
yard stick, for in this respect he has wilful-
ly defrauded the community out of the true
facts, The old man must not take the de-
feat so much TO heart-for it will do no
good. The people will always elect Mr..
Lindley to the honoroble position he now
holds, so long as he proves to be their friend,
as he has done on meny occasions.
Mr.. Darlington is down on the Dutch
with all the vengeance he can command
Why is it that Mr.. Darlington, the demo-
cratic editor of the Grand River Chronicle,
at this late day wishes to repudiate the
Dutch? The fact is, the foreigners who
have adopted this country as their home are
determined not to be made fools of by such
men as Darlington and his coadjutors. The
DutCn nave mlnus Oh tnelT OWN, ana Will
vote as their best judgment dictates, regard
less of the low-hung insinuations thrown
out by one who used to pat and praise them
in proportion to the assistance they gave to
the democratic party. But now how
changed! If the editor of the Chronicle,
ard few of the democratic aspirants had
it in their power, they would kick the last
German out Of this District. Look at the
Jefferson City Examiner; that paper says
the Dutch are not worthy Of vote, and
takes them to task because they did not vote
just as Treadway would have them. 1t is
presumed that the thick k-headed editor Of
the Examiner will wish to have laws pass
ed to prohibit the Germans from emigrating
to this State, since they have violated his
mandate. Darlington and Tredway are fair
specimens of those democratic editors who
used to laud the Germans TO the skies, and
when these German voters think and act for
