reading Mat. article, that could say con-
scieniionsly that he believed for one mo-
mcnt that any Democrat would condesceDd
to the meanness Of writing such vile slang
and slander? No, sir. 1t never emanated
from the pen of any Democrat in or out Of
the county; but it has been coined by the
prolific brain Of one of the followers of
s. Z. Chase. You will find il charged in
that article that the enemies Of Mr.. Canp-
bell (six in number) held a caucus to APP
point delegates to the State Convention.
Now, this is not true. The facts are these:
The central committee held meeting on
that evening to appoint delegates to the
State Convention, which has been the rule
of the party for the last few years. There
fore, the executive committee have not been
guilty of any breach of trust, but have
been guided by an old precedent. No
Democrat will question their right to APP
point, when the people fail TO attend to their
own work. Asto the executive committee
being enemies of Mr. r. Campbell. can-
not say whether that charge is true or
false. That has nothing to do with the
subject at all; for neither the members of
the executive committee or Mr.. Campbell
are now before the public, and thisis =
matter for themselves to settle. If there
should be a difficulty between them, Mr..
Campbell IS fully qualified to attend to his
own affairs without the oflicious intermed-
ding of any of the Court House Chase
faction; but will not attempt to palliate
Mr.. Campbell's offences, but must con-
denim the course he thought proper TO pur-
sue last ial. | have no doubt he thought
himself justfiable in the course he then
pursued; but this is no time to discu 81
such matters. We should let bye-gones
be bye-gones, and bury all past differences
in the grave of oblivion.
Your attention again, fellow democrats,
is called TO the same paper (Telegraph) of
the ! tn inst. You will there find an ar
ticle headed Democratic Leaders in Meiys
County, and the Court House Clique'-
This article of two columns in length, is
devoted to personal abuse of Messrs
Campbell and MedilI, with slight fling
at MIR. Horton. Now as to the last named
gentleman, Mr.. Horton, do you think he
will not feel himself under any obligations
to this Republican friend for tho kind and
bro;herly tile of ''nabob2' for am well
satisfied that Mr.. Horton is too much of
gentleman to stoop to such meanness-as
the author of that article would lead US to
believes to suffer his name TO be used
in dersion, to carry out the schemes of
tie Chase leaders, to divide the Dem--
cratic party yof this county. Mr.. Horton
is looked upon by the masses Of the Demo-
cratic party as an open and manly oppo-
nent, no matter how much they may differ
from him in political sentiments--they still
respect him as gentleman. Therefore.
Mr.. Wollyhead, your slang parsonage OF
ndbo6 will not have the desired effect -
You cannot stir up the ire of Mr.. Horizons
Democratic friends to resent the insult
which you offer to him-that wool VILE
not hide your design. Now let mo CALI
| your attention once more to the blumders
Of this special friend of ours, Mr.. anti
Campbell and anti ira Itor man. Now, if
you want any further evidence to convict
him, think you will find it in this quo
tation-he says: ''Now | shall not spend
lime in proving to the true Democrats of
Meigs county the right of Mr. Medill to
the title of q true and devoted Demo-
crat. Who ever knew Governor Medill
to bolt from the decision of a conven-
ton ? No one ! No, never He has
always been true to his party; and as proof

he has been eligible, he has beeya in Office
Now, brother democrats, is not this enough
to convince you that no friend of Mr.. Me-
dill or of the Democratic party, ever wrote
the article from which it is copied?
Now, my friend, anti Campbell ants
anti ira itor man, let me say few words
to you. | would in the most respectful
and friendly manner call your attention to
the rumpus that has been stirred up in
your camp; and would suggest the pro-
priety of you turning your attention to the
affairs of your own household; for let me
assure YOU that you will find the negro
baby nursery in sad condition before the
first of October next, and it will require all
your parental skill to so distri butte the pap
to quiet the cries, for Sambo is not only
in the wood pile, but has made himself
conspicuous on the top. Now friend, at
tend to it, for all the time you devote to-
the affairs of the Democratic party, will
be like the Kansas shrieks last fall-only
noise and very little wool. Let me assure
you that the Democratic party cannot be-
divided by your contemplate slang and
falsehoods; but, on the contrary, will be
firmly united in the coming contest; and
their watchword will be, "Down with
demagogues and traitors -
a FRIEND OF THE UNION AS IT IS.
