thus do justice to one Of our county
citizens. We will see.
Mr.. ENocK OwENs-Sir, as you
have been putting yourself to much
trouble il publishing a nisrepresen-
tation OF my letter in the Jackson
Standard, Portsmouth Tribune and
Macarthur Register. three of tha
blacklist Abolition sheets, that are
always ready to abuse those who diff
er with them in opinion, either politi-
cal or religious, | thought / would
reply to chow up the kind OF animal
you are. | was not surprised to find
your letters filled up with pusilan.
nous SANDER. You have the dispo-
sitiOn to write such slang if you only
had the brains. You have, | see,
been fortunate enough to get an ultra
Abolitionist to do your dity work
well. think wheE such Abolition
pups as you and A,E.O have nothing
to do but abuse Democrats, that you
had better lay in your tents at Uncle
Sans expense, and study up schemes
to raise "Sambo" to an eminence
with ourselves, aud join onme Mig
ger Regiment, then you may get into
some higher Office than Corporal. I
suppose you thought you could iBjure
me by having my letter published.
No doubt, many Of our ultra Aboli-
tionists, or Secessionists, would pun-
ish me if they could, beCatss they
hate Democrats and are trying to do
all they can to intensity that hatred,
but we hope to sec the time-which l
abide in patience-when the Ohonsti-
tuition and laws will be maintained for
| love to hate all schemers and at
tempts to trample upon them. | hope
you will decline further to create false
ideas, Or slander me, though you have
little, or TO influences. As the reader
is not acquainted with you, | will give
fue description Of you in your own
letter. think your own letter does
you ample justice; it is life picturej
and | leave the reader to draw his
own conclusions Of my trouble with
this Loyal Abolitiouist, to whom
the Chicago platform Of mo more
slavery" is the higher law.

There you have it reader, ct YER.
batim, ct liLeratim, ct punctuatum.
Now compare it with the letter pub.
lished in the Register Of the 17th ult.
and see if this Abo. did not get some.
body to write his Register letter.
comparison proves positively some
body done the dirty work. Has q
certain Abolition. officer from Nc.
Arthur a hand in the matter ! The
charge that opened one Of his let
ters, that he wrote to some other
person, ID as infamous lie as ever
was uttered, as I am prepared to
prove. AS do not wish tc continue
this correspondence with a Jack, as
he describes himself, close. Yonas
for the Constitution as it Is, end The
Union as it was. a .rsN
