Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1857-08-27
Mcndacity of the NJ. G. Democrat.

We cannot spare room to expose in de-
tail the mcndacious statements contained
in an article in the last " e. Democrat,
Under the local heal, in reference to the
elitor OF this paper. Every statement it
makes is false, without exception, we be-
lieve, as we could easily show were we dis
posed, and considered it necessary. But
what good would it do. were we to take
the trouble to refute his statements? Not
a particle. No one who reads the Re-
pvBLIcAy believes word he utters, and he
would only turn round and repeat the
same lies over. That is the only sort of
logic lac attempts. AS to his billingsgate
slang we care nothing The only thing
we regret is that we ever consented to no.
ticc such an intellectual liIliputian, and
one so utterly devoid of every cnnobling
quality necessary to constitute the gentle
man. We have always felt after conde-
sccnding to controvcrt with him like we
had been combating skuIk-that altho'
we had slain the contemplate creature our
garments were badly soied; and one had
about as soon bc caught with a stolen sheep
on his back, as to be discovered by any
ono before he has had time to divest HIM
self Of the sickening and insniierable stencil
he is always sure to receive in such con-
flicts Still, it is necessary when these var
mcnts chase you, as they sometimes do, to
chunk them off. This is about all we have
done to the skunk of the Democrat We
have never regarded him as any thing but
blockhcad. unworthy altogether of our
steel; and If we have sometimes relaxed
our gravity and consented for the amuse-
ment Of our readers to chase the barking
phiste under the house, do not propose
to continue the sport to the neglect Of
more important matters. Whether we
shall ever again notice the ninnyhammer
depends altogether upon whether we think
our readers would like to have their risibles
slightly excited. As to arguing serious
ly with him, or denying any statement
he or those who make eats paw Of him
choose to make about us. t would be an
objectionable waste Of time and space.
IL conclusion, not in anger but kindness,
allow us, young man, to suggest the pro.
Priety of your vacating the tripod and en-
tering a country school. Your ignorance
considering the low price of tuition and
number Of common schools, is inexcusable
We are aware you did not write the arti
Gle above referred to, for the simple rea-
son that it is clear of grammatical blum
ders. But, as we are not certain who the
cowardly bastard is that makes rampar1
Of your ignorant carcass, our only altcrna
tive is to shoot at you, if we shoot at all
until we knock you over and thus enable
us to get fair crack at the real offender.
