no exorbitant prices demanded. We have
endeavored to give such character to ouI

Discussion AT JoHNsvILLR. two meet,
ings at townsville last night were merged
and decidedly enter tanning discussion is
said to have taken place. Our boys gave the
opposition all the advantages they asked,
but the Democrats Of jackson and Perry
say that for all they had "the deal" they
didn't take a "trick." Clay opened; Gunckel
followed; then Tom. Thresher spoke, and
Craighead closed; each speaker being limit
ed to forty minutes. The discussion was
conducted in gentlemanly manner, and all
parties concerned appear to have been high
ly pleased. Democrats and Republicans
concede the entire ability Of our candidates
TO "fill the BILL" and Sam. Craighead says
if Tom. should be elected, he pitieS the poor
devil who should fall into his clutches BY
rendering himself amenable to the strong
arm of the law. By the way, where il
Nead2-the people say they want to SCI
him and hear him speak. Clay is making
friends daily; his strong, common'sense anC
straightforward course in the canvass, con
vinces his friends that we shall have in hiu
an able representative, who will take mor'
interest in the affairs of the State-givint
his attention especially thereto-than in th'

~ The Journal Of this morning--in the full
exerci sc Of the spirit Of mslignity which ha
characterized its recent course towards u.s.
presents its readers with garbled extracts from
the "snswer" Of David CLARK and his securities
20 the suit now pending against them in the
Court Of this County. r. the Journal Editor
had been disposed TO deal fairly and honorably
with US, he would have given this "answer" in
full. As II is, no one can fell 10 see that his
sole and only object is to mislead and deceive
10 reply to the false and malicious position as
sumed by the editor Of the Journal, in the arti
Gle referred to, we have only to repeat what we
have said before, that we have the fullest con
idence that we shall be able to show, beyond
all question, that the alleged claim against us
cannot be supported by any reliable testimony,
and that the result Of the investigation will
prove that the balance claimed win be very
small, f, indeed, there is any such balance at
ALL
But there is one fact, in this connection. TO
which we desire to call public attention The
Dayton Journal is not the tribunal by iohich our
case Is 10 be decided The case is before legal>
ly constituted Court Of Justice-for months
and years past, ourself and our securities have
been ready for trial, aud IL is no fault Of ours
that the case has not been decided long ago.
The attempt Of the Journal, therefore, to pre-
judge the case, by exciting public prejudice
against US, can only be looked upon by all hon
est and honorable men as a mean aud bastard
ly attempt 10 forestall the action Of the Court.
In this be win not succeed We are we'll pur-
suaded, that there is too much honesty, virtue
and integrity among the people Of this cOmmuN
nifty to allow the lying attacks Of the editor Of
that paper to Influence their Judgment in a
matter where not only the property, but the in.
dividual character aud integrity Of citizen is
| involved
The cowardly attacks made upon us person
ally by the editor Of the Journal, we regard as
of the most trihing consequence, The asser-
tons Of a man who has been branded by q
Court Of Justice as an infamous libeller and
calumniator, give us no uneasiness Whatever =
His reputation in this respect is fully and legal
ly established--an Infamous reputation it is
true-but yet one that is indellibly stamped
upon the public records of our county, and
which must remain there for the inspection and
| the sc0rn Of coming generations.

nsal.It is the general verdict of the good
people Of this community that the present
course of Deacon Comfy towards us is not
only uncalled tor, unjustifable and indefen-
sible, but has no precedent for depravity in
the political history of the county and
would put to shame the veriest character
less bluckguard who ever polluted this VAL
ley with his pestilerous breath. We have
been goaded by his indecent and besotted
malice to use strong language when speak
ing Of him; but our vocabulary will hardly
furnish us epithets strong enough to reach
the lower depth of his true portraiture And
while we regret the necessity for the course
we haye taken in this matter, we trust we
may bo excused--ifno justi6ed-by every
man who has soul in his body.
