~ A number of earnest and valued
hiends have repeatedly demonstrated with
us'against noticing in any way the two rebel
sympaihising organs of this place. These
journals, they urge, pursue course SO fac
Gus, so unpatrioio, aud so vile that they
mould be regarded with silent loathine -
! nat this is true so far as the intelligent
loyal and patriotic of the community are
concerned, is the fact. But unfortunately,
there are hundreds of imperfectly educated
people IN this county, with whom a confi-
lent assertion passes for truth if they do

Ot this class wait little 10 see what is said
)n the other side, and il they see nothing
o the contrary, they accept the reiterated

only reason for in anywise noticing the

siors of TACT, and their efforts 10 parayZe

The Doctors "Old Democrat" seems 10
have deserted him, or else 10 have turned
Republican, and therefore TO be no longer
available TO help him out of ugly scrapes ::
and he is now obliged 10 fall back upon ga

to be seen His abpliiion cohort may pos
sibly surround him, and hide him from the
indignation of those "hundreds OF imper-
fectly educated people in this county," up
on whom he is desrous of shedding the
baleful light OF his Black Republican and

ism 10 US, nor TO yaunt their own. We
shall not spare the men nor the party,
which in 1856 bore, in many of their pro-
cessions, banners with SIXTEEN STARS
only-We shall hold up to the public con-
tempt, the men and the party, which in
1856, published and posted maps all over

We have no fears that those s'hltndredS
of impertecttg educated men IN this courtr5,"
will misunderstood us, or regard our denun-
citation OF men and parties such as we have
referred TO as either "PERvERsloEs OF FACT"
or as 'eforts 10 ParalySe The energies Of the

This is not the first occasion upon which
the Dr. has charged the "people" OF CO.
lumbia county, and more especially the
Democrats, with being IGNORANT but

will DEFY him TO point out, within this
broad land, a Democsat who is not for 1.-The
Constitution as il is, and the Union as ii

The Dr's efforts at 'freform" began with
medicine-and they were signal failure

both these projects his failure will be as
complete as in his medical mania ; and
seeing presently, as he must see, The total
destruction of all his hopes and desires !;
