&C, the part OF true democrat or repub-
licsn- or implanted within him love
for the principles of freedom for "all
men, as declared by Jefferson. We
have no doubt Mr. Wiswell is fairly
entitled to position in the sham demo-
crazy, which seeks to build up class in
terests, and to so shape the legislation Of
this country as to benefit the few to the
exclusion of the many.
He next passes himself off as an Union
saver. and says : "Our opponents are
sectional party, made SO by the very ma
ture of the doctrines they advocate and
their whole food consists in agitating
and kindling the flames of sectional
strife
We have butittle respect for the men
who will utter such trash; and less for
those who have so poor an opinion OF the
intelligence of the people as to suppose
any man will believe it. who is at all
posted up on the issues of the day. Asa
sufficient answer to all this mere assertion
this cheap clap trap thunder OF email
dema gogues. we here say, that ifhe, Mr..
Wiswell, will prove that the Republican
party in this state. or of this Nation,
holds to any principles or doctrines,
which have not received the sanction of
Washington. jefferson, Madison. Mon
roe. J. @. Adams, Jackson and Van Blu
rem, on the slavery question, then we
will vote for him for Representative to
Congress in September. He next says ::
The preservation Of this glorious
Confederancyis the question now before
us and it must be met. Declarations
fsvoring its speedy dissolution are strung
upon the air by the Know Nothing Re
publican party, and their papers; and
their speechmakers, boldly and openly
avow such to be their desire. The men
Of this same Abolition party had in our
midst, burnt down churches, tarred and
teathered an inoffending Priest, and pub
licly in organized meetings approved Of
these base acts they had packed Jur!es
and used every means under heaven &c
prevent the execution Of justice in the
Courts"
Here is jumbie of falsehood, mere
assertion, and assumptions ofmatters a:
truths that were never proved as such
and but few believe are such. We have
never known an instance Of either
who claimed to be governed by mani,
principles, who was guilty Of such {
piece of folly and i'll judged imprudence
to call it by no harder name, as to g
abroad and falsely accuse his fellow-citi
zens of crimes that deserve prison -
1T is an i'll bird that will foul its own
nest.
If this honorable citizen of Ellsworth,
knows that citizens of this town burn,
the church here last Spring, why does h
not inform the proper authorities, an6
claim the $500 reward 1t is his duty
to do SO, and thereby clear the innocen;
If he only guesses that our citizens
did it, we say he has no right to do so
If there are any persons here who did
the foul deed, ice beiece that such person.
are members of the gentlemon's opn par.
IT,! The notable CLANCY, who did a.
much to create bad feeling in this COM
munity as any ten men in it, is now the
editor Of Buchanier paper, and thi:
same Arno Wiswell helps support him
Abolition party Abolition means
to abolish something. Now we submit,
if a dictionary would not be of service
to this nominee. The Republican party
purposes to abolish nothing, but dough
faces from places of power and trust
In this sense the party is an abolition
party
SPEEDY dissolution of this Confedera-
cy" Another proposition, We here
make to Mr.. w. We agree to furnish
Rowland for all of his divers -
For every paper and speechmaker Of
the Republican party that favors dis
union, we will find him ten Of the same
grade and influence in the sectional bo-
gus democratic party, that preach dis
union, or notification Out upon man,
who cannot plead ignorance as an excuse
for making such absurd and wicked
charges. He says, again
Democrats and Wings had Supported
the Compromise Measures of 1850" We
beg your pardon, and we would suggest
the reading of little history on this
point. "AcoUIEscED' was the word
used North. Democrats and Wings were
required to acquiesee. They did do so,
but with great effort. By and by, the
Slave driving leaders Of this sham dem
ocracy, cracked their whips, and said the
