Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1858-04-07

and it ends with you; your vanity has played
trick upon your Judgment. The only
split" recognized in this county, is that
yos: are rapidly getting yourself into split !
stick"
The difficulty which now unfortunately |
divides the Democracy of this county being
thus conclusively shown by the record, not
to have any existence outside of your imagi-
nation; your charge that I am the author Of
the difficulty, is of course an absurdity. 1t is |
one of those assertions without foundation
which have disgraced your paper. |
In order to save time and trouble in the fu
turc. let us now endeaver TO place correct
estimate upon the truthfulness of your antece-
dents. when they are unsupported by other evil
dence As we now on your track, lei us as
the huntsrnan says, TRY back" and overhaul
the record you have been making for yourself
since the 4th of February; We produce here
some elegant extracts, which will be found TO
be instructive and entertaining.
On the 9th day Of February last, the DEM
ocratic County Committee met at she Court
House in Ebensburg to elect Confcrces to
meet at Tyrone city with others from Blair
and Clearfeld counties. They elected three
coLferees. and as usual in such cases, instruct
ed them by resolutions.
In reference to the matter, you published
in.the 81 number of the Mouutaineer, Feb
ruary 11th the following, -
Es- In pursuance of previous notice,
! ~
met at the Court House on Monday. There
we're but four members present there was
not quorum, there Of cou Sc could be moth
ing done"
The next week, you published FEBRUARY 18,
the 81 No. of the MountainceI; containing i
long article, showing that the committee, III
your opinion, instead of doing nothing had
had done entirely TOO much The ar
ticlt is too long to quote here, the public
will however ecollect it.
These two articles contradict each other
point blank They cannot both be true
Which of them did you then. or do you now
wish the PEOPLE to believe? For the sake of
brevity-s7e will call this Lie the first. or No L.
l.. that same number. (Feb. 1S,) you at
tack myself; speak of MY having orders from
government, &c, aud you say: 1t was in
fulilment of that agreement, that the meet
ing in Dece,~oer was adjourned"
was forced to reply publicly to the perso-
nal abuse contained IN that article, and in the
reply reminded you that your brother, JAS,
c. Noou, Esq. had made the motion o which
the meeting was adjourned. The next week
February 25th. you made some structures OF
my reply; among other things, you speak 0
that operation of Jas. c. Noon and you say
What the motives of James c. Noon, Esq .
were, we know not, nor do we care"
Here is another contradiction. Which de-
you desire people to believe; that the meet
ing was adjourred in fuflment of some bar
gain between myself and persons not yet dis
closed, ,or that youdo not know nor care abou
the motives OF the gentleman who did it?
We will call this Lie the ID, or No. ..
After resting month, you have concluded
TO try it on another time. In the Noun
tainecr'' OF last week dated March 25,h, 20,
again publish an article for my bencis-yoi
say:
Every honest Democrat looked upon it a
a question about which men could and dio
honestly differ. without in any way, dividin;
them. as against common foe 1t was there
fore, unnecessary to have any expression fro,l
the party of this county, and when meeting
was called iu December for the purpose, it va
!, agreed that it should be adjourned withou
trapsacting any business
Hele We have another statement in regar'
to the adjournment of the celebrated Decem
- Der meeting. What are the readers of th
"Mountaineer" to do in these premises? AR
q they TO disbeieve the other two yarns, an,
] attach credence to this latest bantling, 0
must they reject it. and-but here the ques
q ton recurs, which of the other t,co is tn
: original John Dimond? Here, as Lon;
: Lumpkin would say, is "a concatcnation ac
: curdingiy," confusion worse confounded-
e complicati'n of difficulties most intolerable au
/ not to be endured. In the first place, yo
t say, that famous adjournment was brough
g about because | had received orders, &c >
then j. c. Noon does it. and you neithc
know or care about his motives" and fnal
: you announce that it was effected by previou
mutual agreement This good-sized whap
per, we will call Lie 3d. or No g.
This No. 8. is one of the coolest Lies, O
record. Do you think that people have for
gotten e6s gangements at this time. to dc
