Nh. EDITOR The editor of the Douglas
organ, in his issue Of Tuesday evening, in
his usual quiet and gentlemanly style, calls
"0ld Democrat coward and a liar. He
says: "The communication contains at least
five downright hes. We call things by
their right names. Moreover, the author of
the communication is cordrd." Well, that
scares mel plead guilty of cowardice-
but not guilty as to the charge of lying. l
might be mistaken; but think that perhaps
it would have looked quite as gentlemanly
in the vehement young editorial sprig il he
had suggested that the writer of "Old DEM
ocrat" was very timid, and badly mistaken
in his statements, instead of calling the old
gent liar and coward. But suppose he
copies after the chaste language of his moral
and political leader. In proof of all that !
said in the case, | refer the reader to the
card of Jacob Lukenheimer, published in
the Votksbote of Tuesday morning. Mr.. l..
acted as Secretary of the meeting. As for
four out of the six delegates from Pigeon
voting for Niblack, can only say that, if
they did, they were mistaken, and did not
vote as they electioneered. or as they said
they did,. The representative from German
is one of Gavitt's deputies, and lives in the
city, and boards with the Sherin;-in him
] was mistaken, as thought him from Pig
con. The representative from Armstrong
was passer-by on the road, and halted al
the invitation of some one, but said he was
no delegate, and declined TO act as such
and, by the amendment of Mr.. Stinson &c
Mr. Rudds motion, was deprived of doing
anything if he wanted to. Stinson, and
Cox, and Darling were chosen to select del
egates for the whole county. Did either on,
of that committee vote for Niblack at thC
last election? would state what | think
about it, only fear might be called lial
and a coward How many of that commit
tee belonged to the Nothing order il
1854 and 1856? Stinson did not, know
because he was Postmaster then; but how
about the others, Mr.. Editor of the Eneui
rer? And how about yourself in those de
generate days? ta
About the omnibus load of Irishmen be-
ing sent out free, suppose | know just a
much about il as the editor of the Enquirer
One fact at least | am sure of Gavist is TOT
smart to tell such blatherskite as the edi
tor about il, even if he did hire che bus q
his own expense. He is an expert at paying
out money and promises to people to pla.
mum.
Two of the committee are residents O
Perry township, and the other one very re
Gently removed from that township to Pig
con; from which fact Judge that PER-,
thinks she has talent enough to attend t
the entire interests of the county, withou
calling TO their aid such Democrats as job
Rheinlander and others, who left the meet
ing in disgust.
Mr. Editor, am at least contented t
leave my veracity in the scale with the En-
quirr man's-let the people decide who lie
plead guilty to the charge of eowdrdic
and surrender as meekly as do the old Den
ocrats to the new.
Can the editor of the Enquirer tell II
how it fell out that only one German--an
he amt much of Dutchman-was appoiI
ted from Pigeon Township A good de
more than half the voters OF this TOWNSHIP
are Germans, and yet but one out of six
delegated Are Germans not Democrat
Perhaps the Committee were "dOrh on q
Dutch"
The editor thinks me a fool, because
said 1--WE are sold-editor and all" Ii ma
prove me fool; but, at the same time,
proves nearly all of the old Democrats
this county and this district to be fools to
as they often express themselves as sold i
