vile mob, hurt some of those engaged in the
affair, as much as we could expect anything
could hurt such unprineipled whelps.-
Nothing could hurt such cattle great deal
except the hot end of a red hot poker. To
expose them in their true colors, as gang
of unmitigated blackguards, would not
bring the blush to their cheeks, that is an
old song with which they have long been
familiar. They could only be belied by
calling them gentlemen, on attributing to
them any of the characteristics of men,
These whelps who attack only under cover
of darkness, had meeting at Farmersville,
4 miles from Rowville and there adjourned
by vote of the crowd and came to Row.
vile for no other purpose than to break up
the meeting of Maj. Sapp. Mr.. - Burns
and bad whisky was the animating spirits
of the rabble crowd-they were heard ask
ing for hot water 10 scald Maj. Sapp's
horse. They auctioned off Maj. Sapp and
his buggy and other such specimens Of farce.
for the purpose of interrupting the meeting.
The chief of the Ruffians collected all the
boys and forced them into the house where
Sapp was preparing to hold his meeting.-
The whole affair was nearer kin to the
Ruffianism of the Missouri and Kansas
forontier, than anything that has transpir
ed in Tuscarawas since civilization obtained
its foothold within her border They had
meeting in Farmersville, but adjourned to
Rowville where they had no appointment,
for the very purpose of breaking up the
meeting of Maj. Sapp. They afterwards
gloried in having broken up the meeting,
but when the hand bills came out with the
affidavits of some of the best men in the
county, they then pulled in their heads and
denied the whole affair. What was Mister
Burns doing there in the dark mingling
freely with his fellow Rufians and guiding
their councils? Even after Sapp had left
they had in discussion the propriety of fol-
lowing him, certainly with no very kind in
tentions. And now they declare that John
Penrod, David Nef, John Kern and ESQ.
Dingledine are about to leave the county,
on account of the affidavits taken in the
case. Scores of the best men in the COM
munity can be had to confirm on oath the
testimony of these gentlemen-but they
need no such confirmation. No one in the
country doubts their testimony, and it does
not remain with the Democrat to swept
away with ardash of his pen. There is at
present lie between the Democrat and
these gentlemen-we think it will not be
difficult to determine on which party the
lie is to rest The Democrat would have
it understood that the affidavits were got
up and the handbills printed on the Sab
bath. In this he knows he is falsifying-
The affidavits were takenat Ragersville and
printed by us on Monday. The Democrat
appeared to manifest more reverence for
the sanctity of the Sabbath when he penned
this falsehood than he did on any previous
Sabbath, for it is no uncommon occur
renee for some of his Democratic friends
to be carousing around the streets and
making far more noise than sober
men are wont to do, when Sabbath-loving
and sober people have left the streets.
A miserable set of whelps are they all,
those engaged in the mob and those who
are willing to lie the thing through in their
defence.
