Ii. b. MAssER, Editor -


have just carefully read . communi.
cation signed "W. l.. Dewart," and published
10 the "Northumberiand County Democrat" OF
the 9th ult., which seems TO have been
called forth on accom-: OF q statement OF
facts recently communicated, by me to the
"American,' conc ernipg the disloysl. expires.
sions made by Judge Turner" And now
fight here. let me say, that the facts contain
ed in that article, (of mine,) we're urged to be
published OH the grounds, that it was duty
we owed to the people Of your county, and
that it was great duty we owed to the
people and our country to expose treason and
traitors, wherever they may be found!
| notice the "Democraf's" correspondent
makes some sweeping statements, after SUN.

triumphantly remarks, this whole thing

resurrection after death? yea verify, for here
Kappa is seated at bis desk ngsiU, penning
down this communication, and it be or Judge

Store!
Now gentlemen, l will simply say that your
charges concerning the communication in
question, are base, unfounded and ungeDtle.
manly. | wrote the article published in the
"Americsn" of the 2lst issue, signed "kap-
pa" / communicated the facts just as ] 70.
ceived them from parties who heard them ex.
pressed by TIE Judge. Another reason why
should communicate the facts was, that,
resided sometime in Columbia county, in
which time became personally acquainted
with REUBEN LARIsu, who was one of the
mer that left tie Judges house, on account
OF his treasonable expressions But really
Mr.. Editor, is there not something peculiar
about the career pursued by those men who
employed to watch the Judges character :?
Why were those certificates obtained before
anything was published concerning bis dis.
loyalty? Why such fnttering after the
publication of the article in the "A Americana"
Does it not seem that the publicity of these
statements was anticipated? Does it not
look as if those reasonable expressions we're
intended to have been covered up by giving
fifty cents aud bag Of wheat2 If not, why
come aud demand certificates for the donation
Of the wheat and money before anything was
said to the contrary Oh, consistency Thou
art Jewel now repeat again that the
statement made, by the Columbia county men,
of the Judges tressousble expressions. is en-
titled to full credit as the men stand high for
truth and verscty. aud their afidavits would
accompany this article if the time had per-
mitted, since the great outpourng Of the
northumberland County Democrat" and its
contributor.
The accompanying certificates speak for
themselves, comment is unnecessary.
