1t Is impossible to punish all crimes as
ihsy deserve. Indeed. lhere are many acts
That are ia.truth highly criminal which the
law making power deems i itinexpedient to
punish as public ohehses. Among them is
The crime Of bearing hlse witness against
ones neighbor--slander--l5ihg; sbd yet, be-
lieviug jn ihe infinite juslicS Of an over rul-
ing Pfoyidence, we cannot doubt that all
who in this way yiolaae the moral law, will
sooner or later meet the punishment which
their crimes justly merit.
This may have been the reaection ofmany
who read an article in the Gaernsey Fy-ns-s of
last week in relation to our fellow. citizen,
Joseph W. White. A baser article, one
more devoid Of truth and honor and fairness,1
never appeared in print. Messrs. Taylor
and Lenfesty. -disdaining the dirty work, !
Bingham and his friends we're compelled to
employ that public scaVeDger, the editor OF
the Times; and well they knew their man-rI
for, being constitutional liar, and defaNer
of sis rieighbors BY choice, this editor can
divert attention from Bihgham's damning
record. #. false charges, ,uublushingly MADE,
can 10 it. But how low is the.cause. Of this
abolitiomst when 1t feqnires resort to such
meansl Sos. s,,t ~, ~ 'i7.s.or1 Az saof
In the issue Of the. Times Of the 11th inst,
the first after the nomination, nothing was
said In relation to Mr.. White whatever. The
plan was that. Bingham should make toe
first assault through his Abolition sheet at
Cad iz AS soon as that was done, the hired
scribler Of the Times received his instruc-
sions, and giving vent to his natural pfopen-
sity, was enabled to out-tlo, even his Aboli-
ton principal in !, downright lying, as any
honest man who will read the Times OF the
! 18th inst., must readily admit. He says:--s
| "A short time prior TO the attack on; Maj,
Anderson, by the rebels, Joseph uttered the
ionowing remarkable words: Gfthe South
should rebel, and war ooine, the Democrats
of the North viii unite with the SOUTH
After the war bad commenced, and President
4 Lincoln had called for ii, 600 troops TO aid in
crushing out che slayeholder''s rebellion, 10.
seph, still tfueto his De'nocraticnotions, ut
tered the following choice Bit Of treason, 4
tell you the troops can't be raised. So, Jar
as am concerned viii do nothing towards
!, raising them,, bp. will do all in my power
} to prevent them being raised.' ~ = a
short time siiice he got of the following: III
5 my opinion we never can conquer the South
D This war will have to be compromised ~
9 We are authorized by Mr. White to say
. that these charges are utterly and baselg
! false, and the judgment Of every candid man
y will be that the author Of thSm is liar and
: scoundrel Nor will the community believe
: the charges even if the editor produces an
affidavit to the fact, for legal perjury cannot
/, be Iounded on such nm oath, and the man who
] will thus defaHie d neishbor never could hes
g itate to commit moral perjury. Bdtin add
ton TO this unequivocal denial, every citizsr
: OF fhe county knows that the conduct OF Mr.
81 White, ever since the commencement Of tht
rebellion puts the lie upon any such charge
e 1t is well known that in April 1861, wher
y thesfirst war meeting was held under the cal
I for'75 0oo men, he attended and addresset
II the people and urged upon them the necessi
ty OF volunteering and aiding IN putting dow
9 the rebellion; that on the next day after tn
= Companyoi Capt. Moore left Cambridge, h
Q presided at meeting called Tor the purpos
y ofrsising funds to support the wives ant
ot children os the volunteers; and that from
y that day until this he has alway stood fore
most in contributing money and in address
II ingsthe people in aid OF the recruiting service
~ But it is hard to please an Abolltioust, 70
