Report from Wright"

find rejoinder to my reply TO an article
under the above title which was copied
from the Eagle, TO which ] am requested
to respond, which, with your permission,
| will do with much charlottesville
can scarcely understand the reason why
resident of another township should
tako SO much interest in the affairs Of
Wright as to date his articles at village
in this township and assume name
which is, in fact, no better than his own.
Indeed, his own name sounds far more
euphoniously in my ear than any ficti-
tious one he could select. But, be that
as he may choose, he has my friendship
and esteem, let him write from whatever
place he may, over any signature which |
best suits his taste. Only lot me know
with whom / am contending. But 10
the article in question.
He takes exceptions TO my question,
"Why do they not tell those men 'righ'
from Cork that they ought, and if Lin
coin is elected they sOM hare to tive here
twenty-one gears before they aoM be al
lo,Oed to vote AGAIN." He says, 81 wish
to inform ]. II. S. through the Clarion,
that the reason why we do not tell them
so, is because ii IS not so. fla fair state
ment of facts as they are will not over
como the majority Of eighty, right from
Cork then we arc contented with q res
pectable majority. We can not afford to
pay so high price for votes, if the dem
ocracy can we are sorry for it.
a. am both surprised and sorry that
4 nv friend j. H. S. should make such a
~ statement. Do not he and all democrats
n know that Cork mem can vote as i'm
r medately after the election Of Lincoln as
q they can after the election of Douglas
&c Will Mr.. ]. II. S. correct this sad mis-
4 take the next time he writes for the
1t NeVsg Hoping to hear from Mr.. s.
j. soon l will patiently wait"
1. simply asked the question Why
they did not thus enlighten the Cork
n men~ believing there was an issue OF
that subject between democrats and re
G. publicans; but Mr.. Republican" says
r. al Is not So" Which he thinks is {
sufficient reason why it should not b
6 told, and intimates that the election
40 Mr.. Lincoln and the triumph of the re
bv publicans would mako no difference Of
is, that subject from what it will be if Doug
las is elected. He also insinuates that
q, fair statement of facts is all the price re
N, publcans can afford to pay for votes, bu
G. democrats might pay a higher price, whic
W. would be source of regret. True,
y; , would be, but would rcpel that insinu'
ia ton as he did mine.
m 2. If / have run into a sad mi'
take" on this subject will most Cheerful
" correct it when l am convinced of ii
in error. But that question was based
ich the authority of the Clarion, which
oil supposed was accepted as a fair expone'
r. of the republican platform. l refer
sIy tho Clarion of July a1st, which contain
the following paragraph, in Mr.. "Quoin'
OF attack on my first article on the issue
tna "But before going into the merits
w the gentleman's proposition, l take Z
'"'- liberty of saying that the issue is ma,
-. up of more than the one proposition
0n- states, and l respectfully invite his
tention to the republican platform, endo

on the same basis and investing the
with the same rights as a native born
izen, and other little matters of that
i. &c ture, on which we are at issue with
,eld party he afiliates WITH"
and can only say to my friend if | co
the mitted sad mistake" III the uttera'
lase of that question it would bc pleasure
e oo' me if he would show me wherein
can. fered from the sentiment Of Mr.. "Quol
tive He relies on the republican platform
his authority, and assures us that rep
:: We" 70 lcans are at issue ON that subject with
party with which affiliate

men," or any other foreign born pee

Fer why should they not? If, there
