FROM WAYNE TOWNSHIP.

l
Republican, Of July I9lh. see, over th,
signature Of q. II. Ums,esd. an article eel,
ting for,h In substance, as follows: That he
was down in Monroe county for the purpose
Of stengt gthening the hands of the Bell sns
Everett men in that vicinity, and I suppose
to electioneer Tor the Char less orth county
nomination at Belmont, on the 4,h, bu,
especially for that would belfast man Of bis
WIN. X. Kiger, who he says will far ouirun
his ticket'iu this township; ard suppose
he succeeded well at Woods6eld, for al
soon as he returns home he writes his article
for the Independent Republican, in which
he says the election Of said ticket is beyond
all doLbi, and that q number of Democrats
will support il. aud that it will oulrun any
other ticket 10 the field, &c.
| Now it NAV be that said ticket will run
we'll in Monroe county Gas he ssys), /: that
is where he expects his mnjority, but |: he
has reference to Wayne township when he
says II will outrun any other ticket he Is
sadly mistaken, and must undoubi ediy take
the articles VI such correspondents as him
self, instead Of expressions from the people
on which TO ground his hope. 1t msy he
that Kiger will outrun his ticket; but what
of that! Charlesworth's ticket will not get
| fiiy vo,es IN this township, as Mr. Umstead
well knows. As to number of Democrats
voting that ticket, 1t 10 all a delusion, unless
he can find one that is thirsty, (and as one
would be number--whch Is all the gen.
teman claims) he may, with the aid of q
little eshabach, be able to save himself of
misre presentation in this particular.
Now The truth about this IL that the gen.
tleman who penned that article Tor the Re
publican well knew that nearly III the PROM
declared for the support of the Peoples
ricke; of the 3Oth of June.
suppose the gentleman thought when
writing his article that he would soon be
alone 10 weep aud howl over their destruc-
ton. and in his wild and heated i'm gin alton
conceived that misrepresentation was urgu-
mrnt, and that by deceiving his Editor he
would strengthen their party. .--
Now the truth is that numbers OF Demo-
Gratis. with Americans and Republicans, are
vel pleased with their present Sheriff, and
old Wayne will give him handsome mai.
ority over ary other man thut either party
will take Up for that office
A Democrat snid to me, in speaking of
Kigsr's nomination., that ait was useless
for either OF the parties TO bring out man
against Mr.. Lochary, as he (Lochary) vas
knowa to be the right kind of a man.
will here say that the article referred to
in the Independent Re publican is well cal
culatet to deceive the reader in every par
ticular save that of electioneering for said
county ticket 10 WoudsfeId. and getting a
few subscribers for the Captain. For aught
know said two last me ntioned particulars
may be true.
The gentleman who penned that 1rtcle
is man respect, and certainly when wri-
ting his article, if in his right mind, did no,
wiliul'y misFePresent, but charity forces me
TO the conclusion that he was laborinu und.
a disease called nightmare, and I am very
fearful that the 9Th of October will give him
a more dangerous disease called nirhthorse.
In reply 10 the questions put to he Capt.
when he wants to know If it is part of the
Republican creed to rule or ruin, we will
answer that question for the gen leman: we
say it is no part oi their creed, but that the
majority OF the people should rule, Us in the
call for The 30th June meeting al Belmont.
And as for them wanting to rule Charles.
worth or Umstead either | think no Repub.
lican wants to do il, neither do they intend
to b. led BY the muse by the Captain, as the
~ ia hau Il,, ,;,,I. ,,c
their own, ard would not be gulled by any
Editor, as is the Esquire,
VIII the Esquire, iu his next issue, tell
us who OF the Republicans are trying to
break down Mr.. Charlesworth's paper. and
who are cursing loud and deep at the course
pursued by the Captain!
II seems to me that the Esquire has read
the Captains paper and drauk of the spirit
ot the Editor until m srepr senting the
truth is his highest ambition.
Now I would, with all good feeling to
wards the Esquire, recommend that he csre-
fully read AID digest bef're his next issue
the 44th verse Of the Sh chapter of st.
johns Gospel. IT reads something like this:
"Ye are OF yLur father. the Captain, and the
lust of your father ye viii do" &c.
Now in conclusion would just say to
Mr.. Charlesworth that he should drop some
one of his candidates nominated on the 4 h
and nppoint Mr.. Umstead in their stead, for
| think he is ltboring hard for the Captain
and will truckle in any filth that his father
tlhs Captain) may desire; and think a man
that will stoop as low the Esquire hns done
IN his article ought to be rcnulnerated for it
True, when we carefully examine his article
there is not much In it but misrepresenta.
