Nh. EpIroR: hope for the sake Of my cause yor
win hear me. notice in the Union and American
Of Friday the 18th, shabby little Anonymous com
munication, dated Winchester, Tenn, July 10, SIS
in the first sentence of which there are two basc
falsehoods Hear him-"The followers Of Sam OF
last evening at taow- candlelight, made complete
failure 10 attempting TO draw the varmint from hi:
unsightly den, but with their much fair words and
good pretexts they only drove him further in; fol
the Marshal actually had TO go TO several and urge
the importance of keeping up appearances Thai
was after he had hallooed himself hoarsei and had
q bell rung-sll to no effect.
Now. let's see the truth or faacy Of the above.
His next sentence contradicts his first. In his fret
he says "made a complete failure" What does
the word complete" mean Webster tells us,
shat which is complete cannot be more or ltss So
His very next sentence begins thus:-"A small
body came forth," &C. He speaks of the Marshal
gorg ito several and urging them to go"-"hal-
locing himself hoarsc" shaving bell rung;" "made
8 complete failure" See the last words of the SEN
tence standing beyond the dash-''al to no effect
Now the first words of the next sentence-"A small
body came FORTH" &c.
Now, isn't that characteristic of an unscrupulous
partizan! So recklessI Tell lie in four words,
and contradict himself in the next five. Who ever
saw things carried further than that "Drove the
varnui,t further ina complete f4iure"-"a small
body came forth" Now don't these phrases mix
wel'-equally as well as oil and water. Now for
the next in the same sentence: "The Marshal
actually had TO CO." &c. Who ever heard of q
tx. n" Council having Marshal. There never
Marshal, or anything similar in the catalogue
Of officers in any OK n" Council any where or ct
any time. We have no professions, therefore no
use for Marshals He speaks of shedding tear over
the im6ecilty Of those resolutions. Would be shed
q tear over
Rssolvsd, LIST, That this is free country.
Resolved 2nd, That every man has a right to
think for himself
Would he weep over these things! Any man
that would weep because this is free country, and
because we have right to think for ourselves, is
not worthy to be citizen of this free and mighty
nation but should be sent out into the world brand
ed as traitor to his country, and an enemy to our
glorious and peaceful Union. He would not tell
the causes Of these resolutions as they were made
known there at the Court house that night. There
are those about here, UhO have SWORN that they
riH not patrOnize a person that belongs 10 the TX.
~ Council 2. Il Now let him deny that IF he
DARE.
He says seventeen members were all that were
present to vote. That is not SO. There were about
forty or fifty.
How Goes he know who are X Ms he speaks
of true Democrats coming out since Thomas speech
here. There has been only one withdrawal since
that time, and about nine initiated most Of
whom are Democrats-good and true. He says
what few left are of mush and milk composition.
will tell the gentleman ~ secret if be will hold
nigh, which perhaps he don't know.
The President OF the Council at Winchester, is
good and substantial Democrat, was-two years
ago-and enthusiastic johnson man. So Is the
Vice President So also is the Judge Advocate.
They with multitude of others, could not climb
Jacobs ladder. Again: he says your paper is "do-
ng up this itinerant breed and creed in style" Yes
sir admit it. But what is that styleg 1t was
rom piece published in the Union and American,
pretending to be an expose Of he principles and
pledges of the Know Nothing Council, that caused
me to join that organization. And if remember
correctly, it was inserted as paid advertisement
' If he wishes to dispute my arguments and asser
ticns, say, let him try il. am one Of
SANS B'HOYS.
