strength. The best medical authority assures
us of this fact. So after all his goating over
what he has deemed our g dying" condition,
it may come to pass that we shall even survive
him, and the community have the opportunity
to say:
The man recovered from the bite,
The BOG ii was that died..
| We say our defense is Thus at hand. The
public knows, that always when we were even
in tolrrahlc health, no dcnrnciatiun of ours,
however bitter, could draw the slightest
notice from the Editor Of The Democrat. No
'unIleasant necessity of public position" or
private position, could induce him, either in
defense of himself or in ssdcfensc of the
parity to come g in contact" with this
paper. Now, so soon as he finds lis in
reasonable health, his attacks will cease
There is no question Of this fact, as the public
! will see.
Ills last article is nothing but a column of
abuse; of very low abuse such as any weak
and mean man could print. As to which
paper, or which Editor is the greater black
guard, that is for the public to say. lie well
may attack this community, as he does, for
their Iibcrality towards us, when the circula-
ton of this paper i'll the county is nearly
double the circulation Of The Democrat ; and
this, perhaps, may be the best criterion Of
the respective standing of the two papers and
the two Editors.

dare to speak Of g standing up in any other
respect. He prctcnds to marvel that this
community toleratcs us; but because he has
been driven out and starved out of half
dozen other communities, (and with what
credit he left them. we leave those who are
curious, to cnquire) he should not SUPPOSE
that the fate OF other men must be similar f.
his. lie rails at this community because or
It's faroritism to us: he may yet have further
reason to rail at il because of its rejection of

not the most certain thing in the future. AS
other communities have driven him, so may,
this: time will show. More than seventeen
years ago we started this paper in the face of
an opposition flushed with continued success,
which had, by system of unusual violence
and mcndacity broken down all the papcrs
that opposed it. From that time until the
the present, VIC have pursued our even way,
withstanding every manner of attack, sus-
tanned by our own party, and by majority
OF the people OF the county. The Cecil Wing
has all that time steadily increased in circula
ton, in influence, and in its profits to the
publisher; and in all these respects it is in
creaslng to-day. 1t well becomes then, such
man as the Editor of the Democrat, to make
an attack on this community Tor its libcrality
to lis.
We write this article in no i'll humor; the
miserable little driveller Of The Democrat is
sunk too low TO be any longer an object of
attack. We have prored him guilty of

we now dare.him to give the date of the death
of his daughter; if he does that, our files
will show that the little hopocrite lies even
over the grave of his dead child. We do not
call him liar; but we prove him, in every
encounter to be totally unworthy of credit or
belief. lie is, indeed, a most abandoned
little wretch.

his cowardly avoidance of well men..~
