The sland,rers Answered

That this injurious impression was in
stigated by the slaudering propensitics Of
some of our own citizens, who are of the
Abolition school Of pohtics-who are very
willing to volunteer, especially when they
are placed into fat and comfortable posi-
tIons-we have not the least doubt; but
the slander was eagerly scz.& by such
sinks Of corruption as Forney's Jrcss and
the Harrisburg telegraph encouraged no
less 10y the usinuations Of the Abolition
sheet published here-and every occasion
was sought to cast reproqch upop This

PLAIN AND PoINTED.-I'he practice Of
stigmati2ing Democrats as traitors and sym.
patbi=crs ,cM rebels, &c, so much in vogue
by Abolitonsts, is admirably hit Off 10y
the editors of the Altoona 7riJsmc--R pa,
per whose political tendencies have al
ways been held as hostile to the Demo-
cratic party.
BE3aWe understand that some cocayd
stuck up notice or notices, few even
ings since, stigmatising certain persons
about town as secessionists. Now we be.
lieye we are loyal and can smell rebel as
far as any other person, and detest him as
much as anybody else can, but we do
think it daslardly and mean when a man
may hold a different political opinion
from our own, or we may have some spite
at him individually-to stdS him in the
dark. Such is the conduct of those who
have written these anonymous notices -
We would say, for shame sake, gentlemen
come out and let US test your own loyalty.
If you are afraid OF an uprising Of scces-
siOnists in our midst come out and man
the big guns and let us be ready Don't
stand behind the corners ofthe houses all
night and shoot with yCur petty pap guns
that hurt nobody. For the sake of our
common country-f2r the sake Of human
ity, let US lay aside party Jealousy and
all be Union men.
