Jooiscap. and the cal i,al letters and punclua.
! ton marks and the letters that are minus
and plus are all arranged by the ed itor and
| primer, so that by HE time il appears in
lrh,, it is kind of half respec fble.
And this fellow is The champion and ex-
pcnent oi L,coiocuism in Fairnon,. Truly
they fitted The man TO the station Tor Star
is jus, The man to do the dirty work OF a
dirty party--a party which one Of its former
leaders acknowledged was SHIELD together
BY the cohesive power of public pluuder
and il am not mistaken this fellow, Star,
hopes To be one of the Chief links in the
cham OF Locoiocoism in this county-ope
who il he can only get hold of the spoils will
be the advocate OF any party. ii Is useless
for Star to say that he TUNED LolOioco from
principle. He did no such thing, unless
L was Tor the seven principles OF modern
d, mocracy, 10 wit: fee loaves and ttco fshss!
Principle is quality which but few Of his
friends claim Tor him. Like mos, Of those
who turn their coats, Star has turned for
o0ice, " that tells the whole story" What
Office he wants we cannot exactly tell but
perhaps it will letk out about the time OF
The next Spring election, But | need not
pursue thus part Of the subject further. Suf-
fed it to say that the fellow is "sracked"
III his Uranium, and should be looked after
by the party of which he was the self-syleG
champion-a position which he filled with
dis,in euished (?) ability until his brain, DER.
taxed by mental labor and excitement, sank
under the burthen and left him what no is
and now he only signs
g This wretchcd brain gave way,
And became a wreck at random driven,
Without one glimpse of reason or of heaven"
Star says he has heard Know No,hihgs say
they would rather see John G. Fremon, e.
lected than the Democratic ticket. | do not
believe it, though some of thsm may have
said SO jes,ingly. i can name a promin en-;
Democra,,-l don't mean Locofoco, but a
good Democrat, and one of the most prom
inent in Fairmont,- who told mo personally
that he would rather vote for VIM. II. Sew
ard than Tor Fillmore, and that he would
rather see him president. | asked him to
withdraw the remark. as did not believe he
meant what he said, and tina, il he did not
withdraw it might have occasion TO repeat
II as coming from hin, 10 his de,riment, al
though, as he was personal friend, did
not wish 10, His reply was that he meant
precsely what he said. I'll bet Star can't
find responsible American in Fairmont
who is thus bigoted.
| Star still says there is Ghost" of Old
Line Wings liz Fairmout who will vote for
| Buchanan, and that there are nine Of them,
and with A. +. Raymond al their head they
are sufficient TO put to flight ninety five
Know Nothings such as live in Fsirmont
, 0 wonderful discovery Ten Old Line
Wings for e Old Buck by Starts showing!
| | said week before last that there was not a
host of such Wings in Farmont, and now
say again that there are not. the half of ten
| in town who will vote for Buchanan pre-.
sumo Star counts those all Buchanan men
WIKI did not vote at the last election foI
Governor But thai rule won't work either,
most oil them will vote for Fillmore.
II is true we are not well supplied with
| speakers, but thank God we don't need any
so long as we are attacked by such pop.gun
squirls as Star 1t is in bad taste for him
to talk about defending principles" One
might suppose from his letter that he was a
great orator. II reads like the polished rhet.
oric of an Everett or a Cheever, and is re.
cognized at once by all who read II as being
from the pen OF one who possesses the finest
powers of logic, and fascinati ling INA gina
ton, which added to classic educa lion,
renders him one of the finest letter writer 3
Of the age,
Compared with him, Gizzatd foo; Wise'
is emphaically ono whar" He is, in fact,
"For gifts am grace,
| burnin' and shinin' light,
To a. the place."
He says Mr.. Doneson was kicked GU, O {
the Democratic party. That is not so. He
lett that party, because, as he sad he could
not stand its corruption md tricksry. The
Democratic party kept him as long az they
could keep him, and parted with him reluc.
|-tanily.
do not wish TO bring Mr.. Pierpoinrs
name before the public. only mentioned
it to chow what an unblushing falsehood
Star can tell. | pFesume Mr. Pierpoint is
able to defend his own position, and does
| not, imagine, thank Star for his one sided
compliments.
Star thinks he knows who am. Whe,h-
er he does or not is a matter of Indifference
to me. What say am prepared TO main
tain bat he, "great big" ass that he is,
skulls away in the dark and is afraid AMI
ashamed TO be known. He can have my
name whenever he wants it,. His name
don't want. don't wish to cultivate any
better acquaintance with him than he gives
us through the True Virginian. II he is half
as hideous and deformed and obnoxious as
bis letters lead me 10 suppose, the Lord help
him ~
He says again that these are abou, 225
legal voters in "Fairmont and vicn,y.p I
did not say how many there were in the vi
| cinity Of Fai5mont. ] say now that there is
but little over 50 in Farmont--I mean in
the corporation. But taking Stars own
number in 'Fairmont and vicinity, Fillmore
will get considerably more than half, and in
Fairmont alone he will gel more than two 10
one. Star thinks he is posted in this mat
ter, Blu, he is as ignorant in this as he has
shown himself 10 be on every other subject.
| Ii he thinks TO correct or teach me abont the
principles or numbers of the American party
in Fairmon,, he will find that he has mista.

mus he is wise in his own conceitj but
stupid and muish in the estimation Of his
fellow. citizens.
