The Fiend in Type Again.
| We deeply deplore the spirit which prompted
these gallant sons of Mars to this deed, (the
mobbing Of the Huntingdon MONITOR but when
we realize how humiliating it is to any honor
able man to have brother who would quietly
and sncakingly advise the cutting of bis throat,
we can fully appreciate the position Of these
patriots. Bedford Inquirer.
Satan again on the rampage, in the shape Of
half couran article in his organ in Bedford,
Pa! Did the Huntingdon Monitor ever advise
the cutting of the throats of the l25th Regi.
ment, or did it ever publish any article intend
ed and calculated to do the Union cause any
harm! The miserable, mendacious poltroon who
wrote the sbove, knows that the Huntingdon
Monitor was as patriotic sheet as any publish.
ed in Pennsylvania. He knows that he was
printing falsehood when he inserted in his pa.
per the article from which the above extract j.
taken. He resorts to this kind of knavery, only
because he thinks he can excite the prejudices
of tho soldiers against the Democrats and thus
save his party. This devil in human shape
want wsr here at home. He wants an excuse
for the stationing of troops in this county for
the purpose of overaweing Democrats Well,
we can tell him, now, that if he undertakes TO
drive the people to the wall, he will find himself
submerged beneath the pillows of civil COM
motion whence he will never again emerge. We
say to him, mind your business and let Demo-
Gratis alone, or there will be day Of reckoning
Of which you have never dreamed. We Dem
ocrats will abide by the laws and will try to keep
tho peace as long as you do not push us to the
! wall, but when you begin mobbing in this coun-
try, we will show you that two parties can play
at that game. Beware!
