SUPPRESSION"
The Individual who called the atten-
lion OF the late Commander Of this post
TO two articles contained in our isssue OF
the 9th inst, and suggested that they
we're contraband, and that, therefore,
the Register ought to be suppressed.

we have the "highly respectable citi-
zen." II 9 man whose whole life. from
infancy to old age, has been SO cursed,
Internally mean, that II is marked with
slime all along the way, is respectable.
then the term as applied TO him is not
ridiculous and absurd.
The Register, during the last few
weeks. has been Just slightly ventiIating
this "bighly respectable citizen" and
has been making some rather pretty
motions toward showing up his rotten
ness and rascality, as well as the weak
ness Of those in high places, who allow
themselves to be used by him to carry
out his ends, and therefore it was get

As regards our loyalty, we have only
to say that il we have not given more
evidence Of disinterested patriotism
and devotion to the Government, than
this grovelling creature who speculates
upon his country's misfortune, we are
not entitled to the confidence or support
OF the loyal men Of the county and
State, and deserve to be kicked out Of
both. As far as the suppression of our
paper is concerned, we have this TO say:
We defy any man to find within the
files Of the Register. any articles that
contain information that would be i'm.
portant to the enemy, and we DARE
the "highly respectable citizen" and his
poor tools to touch one single type with
which our psper is printed. We repre-
sent principle, and as that representa-
tive we have the assurance OF every
loyal man in the county (not in the
interest of the "highly respectable citi.
zen" that they will sustain us IN our
course. and although hell may gap, we
intend to expose these abuses, without
being intimidated by threats OF arrest,
and the suppression Of our paper. So
long as we can wieid pen or stick
type, SO long will we stand up in de-
fence Of the rights Of the people; with
out any fear of those in authority Who
would seek to crush u.s. We intend to
have more to say on this subject at no
very distant day. and when we COM
mence again we shall pay our respects
to the whole sucker tribe, IN detaiI.-G
Well see whether we are to be muzzled
or not. II the days Of the Induisit;on
have come again we want to know it.

nThe Point Pleasant assassination, Of
