Columbia Democrat and Bloomsburg general advertiser. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1850-1866, 1860-06-09

HANNIBAL HAMLIN, the Black Repub

We copy those three lines for the pur-
pose of giving our readers specimen brick,
of the style in which the snarly, snappy,
disappointed, uneasy Black Republican
papers attempt to answer the positions of
the Democratic party. Now we will not
say that the denial of the Telegraph is a
"willful falsehood," but We will prove that

and again denounced the tariff of ls46 as
Britssh free trade tariB, and the men
who favored it were denounced as the vilest
rcoundrels. Well we are agreed for the
present that all which has been said to the
utter confusion of those la who voted for
the bill of lSl6 should stand, and that the
assertion that it is free trade shall be held
true. Good. Now we find among those
free traders the name Of Ham1n, Of Maine!
That would be enough to silence even
the unblushing Telegraph, but we add q
paragraph form the Pittsburg Post.
