Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1857-04-04

Mr.. EdItor--ln your paper OF March 2lst
are two communications, characteristic of
the source whence they cmanate. | recog-
nize each of them a. emanating from the
persons named in my former communca-
tons They have made vain effort, by
their insignificant abuse of myself and 9TH
er persons, to draw me aside from the path
have chalked out They wish to turn
public attention into another channel, By
suggesting that | am not democrat Now
this, in our peculiar condition III Highland,
is more than | can bear Oft and long have
fought for the cause of my party, when
the writer of Que of the communications was
a rampant Blue Ltght fsderaltst, or Wing,
of which think he yet smells. JUSTICE is
still my polar stor. Trickery and court
house cliques shall be exhibited to public
gaze as long as | can write. Let me ask
the writer if his face did not burn when he
penned such a negative truth as the fol-
lowing? Il am not aware, and do not be-
lieve that one of these (Biliy. JOHNNY, Jo-
siah) is c2urting the people for caucus
nomination Do you not know that you
first moved in getting up the notice in the
Vindieator of the It'll, by presenting it to
such persons as you supposed to be tavora-
bic to yourself, and Withholding it from
others? You know, well, there WIS 10
need Of Convention You know there
were, and still are. many democrats opposed
to such move at this time. You were shut
fling your cards doubly quick, and about to
turn Jack, fraudulently, when | caught
e. >
me that if you throw stone among a parcel
Of dogs and one sets up Il hdeous bowling
and barking it is sure evidence lie has been
struck. Ny friend ought not to have made
SO much noise until he became acquainted
with the usages Of our party. He was so
particular in writing las call for the Con-
vention, as to specify half-past II o'clock,
L. NJ, for the assembling Of the same, sup
posing we might possibly meet at half-past
l. clock, \. NJ, throwing US in the night,
know-nothing like. The same writer says,
the real author of j. D 5 communication is
not overladen with the principles that should
characterize the Christian. No-ho never
made any such pretension. Ills commune
cation would seem TO indicate that he is bet
ter acquainted with the vocabulary of the
Church than the State The word pseudo
shows that he has read the books Of the
Church more, at some period Of his life, than
suspect he does now. Yet, do not think
he ever found in his church reading such
words as fanfaronade, cts. &c lie must
have learned them III some foreign country.
Our party never use such hifalatin terms
We are not high enough larnt. The writer's
memory not serving him well, he places the
two following sentences in different parts Of
his communication Should Col. Byrd be
selected as a standard bearer Of the democ-
raey of this county, let it be SO on account
of his personal werth and fitness for The
station, against both of which have not Il
word tie say 1.-The election in the Spring
Of 1850, in which Col Byrd WIS elected u
eeuuty delegate was, as IS well known here,
carried upon principle while the JopaloritY
and Personal n,e..t Of the mar were Of sec
oa}dry considerations The above seems
at one time to be favorable TO my friend,
Col. B., but when he recolleet5 that the
Colonel may be in his way this spring, he
intimates, coyertly, that the Colonel had
neither merit nor PoPal2rirY III '55, and
probably is no better now.
