Tho scurrilous article in the Plain Dealer of
the 9Th inst, respecting the nominee for Rep
Hesentative residing in this place, we had
thought to let pass by unnOIiced, as the vile
ness which pervades the entire emanation is
sufficient antidote in the mind of every reflect,
ing reader for the evil intended by its degraded
author. Aad we owe an apology to your
readers for at this time calling attention TO it,
aud should not do so did we not think it poss-
bic iOr some to be under the impression that
its distinguished god father (as he would fiin
make beieve) resided out of this village. This,
however, is not the fact lie is a denzen of
this town, being no less a parsonage than the
"learned BarIister"-our very classic scholar,
description of whose "hog Latin" erudtion
was graphlclY given in the Plain Dealer some
eighteen months since And the gentleman no
doubt thinking himself very scholastic labors
undcs the delusion that tex otiicio " he has the
right to invoke the lowest blackguard, and can
do so through Bedford supernumerary with.
out exposing the auricular appendages he sup
ports. But in this he is mistaken. The "lion
skin" does not disguise him sufficiently.
So far as the nomination Of Esq. Blakeslte
is concerned, we have only to say for the InS
formation OF those who were not members of
the convention, that nothing 'my sterous" at
| tended il; but that in all respects it was a fair
and much moro unanimous nomination than
the average, as the published ballotings con
elusiyely Indicate, and all members of the con-
vention readily will attest
As delegates from this place, in presenting
candidate for nomination we knew we'll what
we were about, as did also those who voted for
him and, so far as Mr. Bakeslees reliability as

ciples Of the party-and his indefatigable in
dustry have 10 do in the issue, all who know
him but hare in him the fullest confidence that,
as a legislator he will upon all occasions be
found faithful, Trustworthy aud uncompTOmi

party And il the scrlbblcr in the Plain Deal
er feels aggreved, ,chag ined ,or irrascibe in hav>
ing sadV iliied upon two occasions to receive
this same nomination after laboring assiduous-
ly for it, and is at this time at so low social
ebb that no person OF respectabiity would run
the hazard OF mentioning his name in this con-
noction-all we have to say, is, that his situa-
ton is indeed pitiable one and, condition
for which we know Of no possible relief but
better behavior on his own part for the future
And if in his frenzy the gentleman is indu,
ced to cast his vote for the nominee oftbe 9th
er party We know Of no one who would for a
moment ask him to do otherwise. Or, il per.
adventure he shcud gather himself up and be.
t. ke entirely to the folds of this party, Rcpubli
cans hereabouts 80 far from Tegretting woulC
rather rejoice at his exit from their party
In conclusion, We simply cay, that the un
manliness, the veness, aud the eOlrardice thai
would indite an arti Gle of such profanity ant
vulgariiy as the one to which we have referred
would "shear horses or descend TO any dastart
act for which the prOclivities Of his nature are
SO admirably adapted.
