In the last Democrat communication
appears over the signature Of "Conscript, y
evidently written by Nj. 4. o. Packard,
as il bears his ear-msrks too plainly to
admit Of doubt as to its origin, which is
we'll calculated. whether designed or not
by the author, to ''incits instruction" or
resistance to the draft. Like every thing
that emanates from that source it is a it's
sue Of misrepresentation ION and base lies, in
tended, we think, to arouse the passions
of the vile and ignorant. for what purpose
recent events in New York and other pla-
ces Procfaim too plainly to be misunder-
stood.
Packard, alias "Conseript," asserts that
there is ga general distrust and dissatis-
faction among conscripts as to the manner
in which the matter has been conducted
from the first until the present time
This is false There is no general distrust
or dissatisfaction, none whatever among
loyal men Of any party. in regard to the
fairness Of the enrolment. Whatever dis
trust or dissatisfaction exists is to be
found exclusively among copperheads or
JEFF Davis men, who have in turn opposed,
misrepresented and lied about every meas
ure, even to the first call for troops, that
ths Government has adopted. to put down
the rebellion, and who are determined 10
be dissatisfied with every thing the Ad-
miristration does that is designed or cal
culated to hurt their rebel friends. Their
object in all this is not only to embarrass
our Government by creating divisions a.
mong the people and resistance to the
conscript law. but to give aid and comfort
to the enemy, and thus prolong the strife.
and force MS to acknowledge tho indepen-
dence Of the Coufederacy. 1t would be
hard to please men who ara determined to
be displeased in advance with whatever
may be done.
Packard, alias "Conscript" again re-
marks: 7aa
ITO begin with the man appointed En-
rolling Commissioner, for two reasons
has not the confidence of the citizens of
this County. In the first place his stand
ing in society is any thing else thaa cleya-
ted and his ability to properly discharge
the duties ofthe position he fills, is very
much doubted, from the fact that he is no
scholar and some of those he employed as
his deputies in the ont townships had not
sense enough to know how to write their
own names. Such are the men in whose
hands the fate Of conscripts have been pla-
ced in this county. These being notorious
facts it is not to be wondered at that there
is general dissatisfaction with everybody
concerned, only the politieul friends Of the
Enrolling Commissioner"
Is it likely that any loyal man would
have the confidence of Copperhsads? No
enc is so silly as to suppose : hat any loyal
man would have given them any more sat
isfaction. Why have the Copperheads no
confidence in Capt. Babbington9 Has he
not fought for his country? And has he
not always paid his honest debts? Was
he ever charged even with being guilty of
any acts uHbecoming brave aad homo
rabIc man? If SO let Packard specify
them over his own signature. As to his
standing in society" it is at least as good
as the author Of "Conscript." and that,
we admit is not saying much in his behalf
Those who know Capt. Darlington init
mately. Democrats as well as Republicans,
have entire confidence in his honesty, and
no one but traiter and . scoundrel would
intimate that he had not made . fair and
impartial enrolment of the militia. II any
names have been overlooked. it was acct
dental. not Intentional. and quite ss likely to
be Democrats as Republicans. AS to some
Of his Deputies aot having sense enough to
write their own names, every one may safe
ly say "Conscript lies like tory" 1t is
SO improbable statement that we wonder
even at ''Conscript" having the hardihood
to make it. What do yoa think, reader.
Of his notorious facts?" They are snch
as he always dispenses whether he speaks
or writes.
The balance Of the statements in Con
scripts" communication are equally false,
malicious aad mischievous a. the above
Had we time and space we would notice
and expose their sbsurdity and wickedness
in detail. but we have neither, and must
therefore permit the wretched liar and
traitor to escape in part the aagellation his
crimes merit. -A
