The Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1859-1865, 1861-12-19

not suffer ourself to be forced to do so
through the threats or caprices of the mis-
erable, contemplate, dwelling, lying, Sc
cession-sympathizer of the Democrat Dc
,Sentinel.
But specific charge was last week
! made against us. II is said that in
speech delivered at Chest Springs, we
used this expression-"I ana an Abolition
i:St from the croaoa Of my head to the soul
Of n1y tcet," and that DANIEL L1TZINGER,
ESQ, is cited as the witness who can
prove the charge. We never made this
or any similar declaration there or else
where, and SO far as Mr.. LITzINGER is
cognizant of the facts.-if he is the man
whose reputation for truth and veracity is
we venture to say he viii bear Us out la
our denial. We have, at present, moth
ing further to say in regard to this base
fabrication. When the eyidence of its
truth comes before US in direct form,
we will pay it our respects but in its
present second-hauded shape, it is too
contemplate to spend time on. 1t is a
charge which is in every way worthy to
be found in the same journal with that
other stale calumny which is now served
up in another shape. We refer to the
JOHN TYLER affair, which We disposed o.
sometime ago. Our readers will remem-
Der that it was first said that we had de-
clared in a public speech, that we had
cotcd for HARRISON & TYLER. But we
lashed the impudent maligner out Of that
position aud now see how he backs down:
" H'e are not po$itiOe thqt he said anything
about voting for TYLER, bit supporting a
man IN q political cGn,paign amounts to the
same thing" These are his own words,
and by them he convicts himself OF down
right lying. His stupid logic will not
save him either
The silly threat has also been made,
that numerous other charges will be pre-
ferred and proven against US, when We
are fairly in the field for Congress. Well,
we will bide the time patiently. In the
meantime, we assure our envious neigh
Dor, that if the people Of this Congression-
al District shall see ft to honor US with
the nomination for'that important Office,
we shall be a candidate-and this, too,
with the distinct understanding that all
the whelps and ours about your establish
ment shall bark at our heels throughout
the entire campaign. "Suficient to the
day is the evil thereof" So far as our
principles are concerned, we DO not hesi-
tate to say that we shall lose nothing
with the people in their avowal and dis
cussion, and as to your SANDERS, your rep
utation on that behalf being well estab-
lished, they will fall harmless at our feet,
In conclusion, we would remark, that
the editor of the Democrat &c Sentinel,
and the willy and unscrupulous clique sur
rounding him, have always taken a neohg-
aant pleasureain heaping abuse upon US,
and it seems now to be their settled pro-
gramme that we are, if possible, to be
overwhelmed in food of calumny and
defamation. And all, because we have
had the audacity to be Republican, and
have DOW become the editor and proprie-
tor of a Republican newspaper
''Tell it not in Gath, and proclaim it
not in Askelon," readers These are the
grave and unpardonable sins we have
committed, and which have made us so
odious and hateful In the eyes of this fa-
nous and oVershadoving knot of scuryy
politicians. But let them beware. Our
cause is just, and our back is broad We
neither underrate them, nor overrate our
self, and let them not do us the injustice
to suppose that we fear them. When
the hired buffoon that they put forward
as editor shall sec fit to assail us, we shall,
from time to time, attend to his case
We shall always have q rod in soak for
him, and when he deserves it, he shall,
like PERILLUs, try the tortures himself
which he has SO long. so impudcntly, and
so wickedly been attempting to infict
upon his betters.
