place.

Of it's politics -,
Mr. III. Miles Moor, Attorney General, thick
set dark-complexiOned young man, OF short stature
and with bulldog expression of cOuntenance, IL
somewhat celebrated in BOrder-Rufian annals.
He resided at Weston, the home of Bully-Rutfan
StrDgfellow for several years, and was connected
with The WestOn Reporter, the organ OF the Benton
party in that District. His fearless denunciations
Of the Ruffians, and bis Free-Soil Proclivitiee.,
drew down upon him the indignation Of the nulli-
6ers. They threatened to throw The Reporter into
the Missouri River He defed them and said in
his journal that if they attempted to execute their
threat The Platte County Argus (Stringfellows or
GAM would speedily follow it. This threat was
eHcctual. The Rufians did not modest him nor his
paper either. Gen. Stringfellcw then attempted
10 put him down. At public meeting of the
Platte County "Selfdefense" Association, the
Rufian said, among other things, that "every wO
/" man who did her own household work was no
better than she should be-" that the working
women had been whOres from the time of Abraham
and would be to the end of the world. Moore de-
nounced the Bully Rufian for this assertion in his
paper, and created great Indignation against him.

rather uncomfortable ground, and undertook to
deny that he said Moore got several afiidavits
from the most respectable citizens of Weston to
prove the truth of his assertion, and then publicly
and personally branded StriDgfellow as coward
and lar and told him to resent the insult if he
dared. "If you've got any fight in you" said
Moore, II mean to get it out of you but be-
"leve you dare not take me up-yOu are too ar
Grant coward"
Strinpfellow bore this insult with the most
Christian or calflke resignation!
StriDgfellow, may say here, was run out OF
Savannah, Missouri, some years since; and once
had TO sneak out of Weston when the boys there
threatened to tar and feather him.
