The Enquirer of yesterday, IN making
mere notice of the fact OF the stabbing of Mr..
Stinson at West Franklin, and its notice not
so much as mentioning that the Sheriff OF
Vanderburgh county and the Marshal of the
city of Evansville were present, publishes the
following infamous paragraph:
1t seems that wherever Know Nothingism
eongregates, BLOOD MUST FLOW. Brig. Gen.
Greenhouse opened the ball by a bloody fight,
before dinner, and our informant says he would
have murdered his victim had he not inter-
tered
The attempt made in the above lines to con-
vey the impression abroad that this bloody af-
fair was natural result of Know Nothingsm
that it was what might have been expected
from a meeting of Fillmore mems as imam
Gus as the man who made it is infamous in the
eyes Of all honest men. Had Hall believed
any one Of the numerous rumors relative to
this affair, he must have known, and he did
know, that politics had nothing to do with the
difficulty, although if there had been no Dem
ocrats at the meeting, Greathouse would not
have been compelled to thrash man for
grossly insulting him, and Mr.. Stinson would
not have been wounded by a cowardly blow,
most probably the result of conspiracy
against his life. We gave yesterday the par
ticuars of this difficulty as detailed by Mr..
Stinson, perhaps his dying words, and corob-
grated by persons present, and we call upon
Mr.. Hall to copy those particulars, or publish
something more reliable if he can, so that the
people may judge how far Know Nothingisln
had anything to do with the unfortunate affair
We shall see, and the public shall see, wheth-
er Hall is so much in the power Of Gavitt, thai
when there are more than mere suspicious o.
his implication in running off the man who
stuck his knife into the vital parts Of human
being, and while the victim was being held by
Gavtts friend, the Marshal Of Evansville
this man Hall dare not give an honest account
of the murderous affair, but may gloss ii over
and stigmatize it, as legitimate off spring o
Know Nothingism. And the poor miserable
wretch who makes this charge. is now q can
so repeatedly and UNANIMOUSLY disgraced Sheriff
of Vanderburgh county. Good heavens! wha
are this city and county coming to? Is it pos
sible there are not selfrespect and manhood
enough among us to crush these knaves to the
, level Of their kind? Are we to be Away,
ridden by the very pests of the society il
which they live? This cannot be so. Their
, is a day Of reckoning coming for these mel
nd nd olOc bo,
They have long enough outraged this commu
nifty, and every principle of moral as well as
political decency. The blood of Clay Stnsol
f is now calling for this reckoning. Thu
wounded and perhaps dying body of man
, with more manhood in his little finger thai
| dare creep through the whole miserable car
cases of these wretches, is appealing for justice
And justice will come.
GFThe Newburg Democrat in abiding t
our article relative to the removal of SPUR,
Robertson from the Post Office at Newburg
says-"When any one under his own sigma
} ture, vouches for the trash contained in tn,
Journal, the whole matter of the removal anC
appointment may be succinctly stated" w
do not know why the editor Of the Democra
should wait for some one to come out and en-
dorse our statements before he makes reply
or explanation. They have been read over the
whole District and will most certainly be be
lieved unless our intelligent friend of the Dem
ocrat explains ''the whole matter of the re-
moval and appointment" and contraverts oul
statements. We should like to know wheth
er the Newburg Postmastership aoas bought
for barrel of whisky, and we insist upon the
Democrat informing US.
