"MORE FABRICATloNS.n

The Perpendicular Pedagogue tries very
hard TO make the readers of the Abolition organ
believe that the statement concerning The in
crease, in number, of free, as compared with
that OF SLaue states, which we copied from the
New York Herald in our issue of week before
last. is incorrect, and goes on to say that we
sshout wholesale lies in the faces OF the people"
Now, the Pedagogue must have had his specta-
cles on upside down, or else (which is more
probablel was wilfully blind, when he read that
statrmeut for there is no such assertion contain
ed in it as that quoted in his article. The .fu-
tire tense was used in speaking of the admis-
sion of Minnesota and Oregon, not the perfect,
as IS done in the Pedagogue'S version. Our
perpendicular friend very adroitly omits the
little word aeW in quoting from our paper and
in this is guilty of species of dishonesty which
he will be heartily ashamed of whenever he
acquires decent respect for himself. With
his mind Illuminating on such base trickery, st
is no wonder that he headed his article ".lfore
Fabricotions." The caption is very appropri-
ate. The article contains nothing but siabri-
cations"

The Democrats of Bedford county held their
Convention for the nomination OF ticket, last
week. A strong one was nominated. Genl.
James Burns was recommended as a suitable
candidate for The Legislature, and John S.
Schell, John G. Hartley and Joseph w. Tate
were appointed conferees 10 meet like number
from this county TO place in nomination candi-
dates for that office. The Democracy of Bed
ford, We are quite sure, could not have pleased
their brethren in this county better by the
selection OF any other person. Gen. Burns is q
strong man with our people, aud deservedy so.
The Democrats OF this county will take great
pleasure in honoring him with a seat in the

NEGROES BETTER THAN WHITE MEN

tlon SO as to extend to negroes the right OF SUI
vote, EVERY BLACK REPUBLICAN VOTING IN FA-
voR OF 1T and EVERY DEMocRAr AGAINST r.
bill TO allow tchite women the same privilege
THAT OF yotlng) was defeated by this same Black
Republican House OF Representatives, thus
showing that these woolly-heads place higher
estimate upon the negro than they do upon
their own wives and daughters! Nor do the in
suits flung in the faces Of the white race BY this
Infamous, black-hearted body, end here. The
same committee which reported the bill allow
ing negroes TO vote, recommended an amend
ment to the Constitution requiring white for
eigners TO reside within the State of Connect
cut tWenty one gears, before they shall be in
vested with the right Of suffrage. This propo-
sition was also carried by rigorous party vote,
the Black Republican Know-Notbings voting
for 1t, and the Democrats against it.
Such are the operations of Black Republican,
Ism and Know Nothingism combined. The for
mer assists the latter in its prescription OF white,
foreign-born citizens, whilst the latter lends its
aiG to the former in elevating the negro to an
equality with white freemen Thus the Anal
gamatlon labors for the disfranchisement of the
white race, whilst it pxerts all IFS energies to
give the negro the privilege of thrusting his
black hand into the ballot-box Such an Anal
gamation is about 10 be melted together in our
own State. What its predecessor has done in
Connecticut, il desires 10 accomplish here
It's object is the same. Beware of its contami-
nation
