NIX EDlHoh s-1neTe YVES d SuSptckOuS tOOh-
ing fellow lodging about this part of the
County on last Monday, who was introduced
to me by a misguided Democrat, as Mr.. -.
|
After the usual compliments were passed, he
informed me that he was a Republican, and
that he was dissatisfied with the present Re
publican ticket, and he wished to know wheth-
er there was many in this section that were
likewise dissatisfied for him, he
had been informed that I was one of that kind.
I did not at first comprehend his design, but
dealt rather frankly with him, and the conse-
quence was, that he found out he had caught a
Tartar. Nevertheless, he wished to know
what l thought of getting out another ticket,
also stating that he could not vote for Mr..
Burr, and intimating the same in regard to
Mr.. Jones. I answered him that if he were a
Republican, that he should not entertain, for a
moment, an idea of that kind, and if he could
not vote for those men, that he had better not
vote at all, or if he would prefer Democrats to
them, to vote for Democrats and say nothing
about it. But, says he Z" do not wish to be
pulled around by the nose, by Abolitionists."-
And in this he manifested unbounded igno-
rance, for he could not even tell me what an
Abolitionist meant, but he thought there was
such a thing, he could not tell where they were
but, he thought there was men of that kind
that wanted to get in Office, and he wanted to
keep them out. He could not tell what they
intended to do when they got there, but he was
afraid they would do something" He
thought slavery was no very killing crime
That the FUGITIvE SLAVE Law uus not a tery
bad Law, and that Popular Sovereignty was
rather a beautiful doctrine, and wound up by
inquiring whether there were many americans
around here and being informed in the mega
tive, he sloped.
Now, what l have got to say in regard to
this poor, dissatisfied soul, is. that / do not be-
lieve that he is any more of "a Republican than
Benedict Arnold was a true American soldier,
and farther | do not believe that a man enter
tanning such principles as he does ever acted
with the Republican party, his statement to
the contrary Notwithstanding. If he did, l
for one should be much pleased to have him
leave it, and all the rest, such as he, if any
there be. My impression is that this thing
has been gotten up by the Terrified Democra-
cy of this county in orcer that they might sue
coed in eleeting their Senator and Representa-
! 1--WE dDu HHeISU4 StCU tHetJ SyHfDLiffE JOf u
eigners. Their case must be a hopeless one in
deed, when they have to resort to such base
trickery as this. / think that | am correct in
this from the fact that the intimacy of the
emmissary referred to with the Democrats was
of a private character, for he informed me that
he wished to consult Mr.. W, who is the
most prominent of the Democratic mouth
pieces of this place. ] am not much surprised
at developments of this nature, for what more
could we expect from a party who are so deep
ly STEPPED in corruption and fraud. We Can
not expect them to com out in an open and
honorable way and battle with US, so We ex-
l>ect them to skulk in the dark, and beat around
busb b; and fire at us from under cover of every
subt3rfuge that they can possibly ~invept,as oul
rather more generous foe, the red-man, did il
days of yore.
If there is q Republican in this County, thai
has acquiesced in, or sanctioned such move
ments as this man fsud his aiders and abettorS
has gotten mp, to sucf' an one let me say be a
once undeceived, for dc Nend upon it, it is fol
no other purpose than to { airy the election il
this county, of the Denocra &c Representative
and likewise to elect Reid, oy n Jones, becaus'
the latter la of Foreign descen..
| know nothing about this mai. moro thai
what 1 ascertaincd in our interview, and from
this | know that he is unworth of CONS Hpce
and is one of those who would "stcal the "
cry of Heaven to serve the Devil in" "Ont
who has spared his sleep and heard the ciocl
number the min-night watches, on his bed de
vising mischief more and early rose, TO make
most hellish meals of good mems names"
Now ] shall close by appealing to every Re
publican to come to the rescue on next Tues
day, and with the banner of Freedom %unfurleC
to the breeze, and with God and the right OF
our side, we will rout the Democracy, horse
foot and dragons. II. c. O..
