Since the above was written we have heard again
from the 9Th District Mr. Scales friendsare in high
spirits, and confident of success. General Leach's
demagosuism is apparent that it will recoil upon
him. and injure him more than it will Mr.. Scales.
Courage, friends! Meet the adversary at every
Penthouse up the lukewarm, if there be such, and
make your arrangements to bring out a full vote.
1t will not do to be too confident, or to rely too
much on large majorities The price of victory is
perpetual vigilance. Work as Alspaugh, of the
Sentinel, is working; work as he is working
like your own gallant standard-bearer, Alfred N.
Scales, and the day will be yours.

at few structures, which made short
time since, through the Spirit, upon our
County School Examiners. And it is
somewhat amusing to see how rampant
this champion of the Board grows, in his
long plea in behalf of injured innocence
He certainly allows his spleen to run
away with his judgment; for surely no
staid, sober, sound-minded man, like he
is, could in his cool, calm, and deliberate
moments. suffer himself to be guilty of
such reckless charges and assertions as
he makes. He first charges that am
one of the rejected; that have private
griefs; and that I am only writing for re-
venge.
Further on, he charges that am one
of the teachers of Woods6eld, between
whom there has been for some time, q
deadly feud existing; and that the article,
which wrote was only the outbursting
of pent up wrath against "The Distin.
guished Teacher" q" q.
Surely this "man of the law" should
be more careful to make his charges
agree. He is however mistaken in both
of them. I am not one Of the Rejected
