Low and Base Malignity.

Low and Base Malignity.
In the last issue of the Bedford Abolition or
gan, the public were treated TO an exhibition of
the most malicious, though petty, piece OF viii
lany that ever disgraced the pages of a news
paper published in decent and respectable
community. In that article the editor of this
paper is charged with having written, or rather
is sought 10 be held responsible for The writing
of, the following words upon copy OF the Ga
zette sent to gentleman in McCoanellsbuTg
{. Bully FOR THEM. HuRRAH FOR DAVIS &
S. c."
Assuring US to have been the author of the
above language, the article proceeds to argue
from this assumption, that We ale 't altor and
Secessionist," that our being allowed to continue
the publication OF The Gazette is s'monumeut OF
that it IS hoped s' day OF reckoning is not far
distant. Now the author of the article in ques-
tion was we'll aware that we did not send the
paper upon which the offensive language was
written he knew that on the dav when the
packages OF Gazettes in which that paper was
contained, were made up for the mails, we
were at Bloody Run, having gone there TO
meet the 4" Taylor Guards" on their return
from the seat of war. He knew, too, when be
wrote his article, that we had positively denied
all knowledge Of the matter and that another
had acknowledged that he had written the words
upon the paper and placed it in the mail. But
the pitlful rascal could not forego the oppoItu-
nlty 10 libel and reviie US. His petty revenge
fulness burned 10 be gratifed, and whether fair,
or foul, honorable or contemplate, the means
by which that qualification was 10 be- reached,
were supposed to be at hand. But, mark how
the fruit he so greedily pIucked at, shall turn to
ashes on his lips how this immortal back-outer,
wagon-boss and transportation agent .for ii IS no
other than he) shall be cheated out of his prey.
ga day OF Feckoning"- pesky little white
livered hypocrite actually imagIneS that there are
assaSslns and cut-throats among the civilized,
Christian people OF Bedford, and that he can
stir up villains enough 10 execute the purpose
of his black and malignant heart)-" dav of
reckoning has come, and the people of Bed
ford county, after reading the following, will
convict the buzzard back-oufer OF deliberate and
malicious SANDER, and it will truly be " mon
ument of their patience" if they do not nail
the fioP-eared bypocrite to the piIlory Of public
opinion
BEDFORD, Pa,

per myself, aud for piece OF sport, wrote the
words above mentioned inside. | am, there
FORE alone responsible for it, and am willing 10
bear the responsibility. On the day that the
paper was sem, Mr.. Meyers was absent at Bloody
Ran, having gone there 10 meet and welcome
home the Union Volunteers. As for your pro-
verb, " Like master, like man." have but 10
say that Mr. Meyers example, as well as bis
Prscept, has ever seemed 10 me 10. be that oil
true Union man, and during my stay with him
have never heard him utter a single Secession
sentiment, 6ut have often heard him denounce
aud depiore the action Of the disunionsts both
North and South. Hoping that IN Justice to
MIR. NJ, you will publish this note, am
