The Democratic press. (Eaton, Preble County, Ohio) 1860-1865, 1860-08-30

INT and depraved men that you rep
'esent them as being, what right
Ices this confer on you to abuse
villify them, and call them all
manner of BLACKBOARD names, had
hey not in this country as much
light to raise a pole and in honor
If whom they pleased, provided
were peaceable and quiet and
.beyed the laws of the land as
yoursclvesf
Butthefact is gentlemen these Ger
mans are not uneducated and ig-
norant, they are not the brutes and
that you represent them rs
being, many Of them in this town
are educated in two and some of
them in three different languages,
so if intelligenceO and moralityO
is to be the scale by which men are
to be measured in the present
campaign, these German gentlemen
are in every respect vastly your SUI
periors, we submit then to the pub
lie who has the greater claim to IN
rELLIaENcE q and MORALITY q the
Germans or yourselves? But gen
tleman if you are really sincere in
your claim of intelligence () and
morality q why,in stating what an
opponent may have said, do you per-
sist in denying facts that every body
knows, andin misstating and falsi-
flying everything that may have
been said. Now in relation to the
remarks made by Mr.. Zoos, at the
pole raising, which seems to have
irritated and wounded you so deep
ly you represent him as saying in
substance, that the Know Nothings
and the Republicans through
out the United States were one and
the same. Now we are advised by
several gentlemen who heard Mr..
Zoos, on that day that he said no
such thing, that he did say "that
the Republican party in Eaton and
the county of Preble is composed
substantially of the same individuals
who composed the American or
Know Nothing party of "a" Now
gentlemen, we are inclined to the
belief that you knew that Mr.. Zoos
did not state what you represent
him as stating, hat you also knew
at the time you penned your arti-
Gle, that he did state just what we
have stated above. You also knew
that you did not dare deny what
he did say, hence you were compeN-
cd to misstate and falsify every
thing he did say in order to
make a premises, from which to
mislead public opinion. What we
say the senior editor of the
Register knows to be true, for he
himself, so we are informed, was a
Know Nothing, and on the dissolu-
ton Of that concern carried off and
has ever since retained possession OF
the record of one of the lodges in
Eaton, in order to prevent the
proceedings of this institution
from being held as testimony
against him hereafter. If he
would consult the pages Of
that celebrated record he can get
documentary evidence as to where
the old Know Nothing party o.
Preble county may now be found
The bitterness and misrepresenta'
ton relative to Judge Gilmore, WI
suppose aries from the fact that q
few weeks since the editors of thu
Register and Judge Gilmore, had 6
controversy relative to misrepre
s~entation, when the Judge in a wei
written communication bearded thu
editors in their own den, and t.
which not a word of response tc
this day has ever been given. Why
did not the editors of the RegiSts,
reply in the manner, and in the
spirit in which the Communication
was given. Many Democrats have
been anxiously waiting for a reply
and would still like to hear from
these gentlemen on that subject
Let the whole truth come out
The Judge most signally outgener
aled you in the operation, he fore
