'Lsy on, Macduff, and damned be he
who first cries, Hold. .Enoughi"
The editor Of the St. Clairsville Gazette,
when caught trying to cram On infamou,
and atrocious lie down the throats Of homes
people, and when denounced tor Il 10 term,
not half SO severe as his base conduc
merits, resorts to calling his opponent hare
names,--at the same time protesting base
hollow, hcar'less HYPooRtTE that he is
lthat be ''pannot be- dragged iuso the dir,
sad usnd TO fsht the filthy skunk that nov
conducts the CHRONICLE. -
The editor Of the Gazette, 4 week or two
ago, and after we had protested, time and
again, that he was misrepresenting us. re.
itersted his foul slander about the cHRoN
roLE having asked ION which said Capt.
Charlesworth's company was fighting. -
We had told him, repeatedly, that the
CHRONICLE had never asked any such aues.
tion-ths. it wss correspondent and We
even said we would give Capt. Charleswortf
the name Of the correspondent, II he wish
ed il. When he repeated his slander, q
week or two ago, we characterized its au-
thor in fitting terms rs an infamous liar
and scoupdrel. last week the editor had
the following reply:
But there is one thing we never can do,
and the Abolition party may as well know
| II. And that is, we cannot be dragged into
tho dirt and mud to fight the filthy skunk
that now conducts the CHRONICLE This is
our answer to the bilingsgate slang in the
last issue Of that paper.
Of course, this is a complete refutation
Of our distinct and unequvocal charge Of
gingpreferred against the editor Of the
Gazette, and fully establishes the fact that
that gentleman is not filthy skuuk"-
that he ''cannot be dragged into the dirt
and mud" and is very satisfactory ~
answer to the billingsgate slang" of the
CHRONICLE We presume the poor silly
pimp who conducts the Gazette thinks it is,
aud that the CHRONICLE is thoroughly de
molshed.
The editor Of the Gazette has not yet re
tracted his foul slander. Until be does do
1t we must consider him both LIAR and
a HYpoCRIrE, deserving the scorn and in.
dignation Of every honest man.
There is another little. matter, Mr..
Stephen Gressinger, you may fix up, also,
while your hand is in. A week or two ago
We stated, on the authority Of Mr.. brewer
Q. Iveson, formerly of the 25th Ohio Regi.
ment, that you had declined to print let
ter he had received from a member of that
Regiment-Mr. lveson at the same time
stating that you had had the letter in your
possession for three or four days. The
letter appeared in the Gazette, however,
simultaneously with the CHRONICLE, and
the next week you devoted about q half
column to denunciation Of u for saying you
had refused to print it. The Gazette fairly
foamcd and billed with wrath. Mr.. Iveson
called on US, last week, and told US that he
had said to the editor Of the Gazette that
he had understood him to say he would
not print the letter. He tod US he
did not care about the letter being in but
one paper, and that he had told the Gazette
man that he was responsible for the mis-
take, II there was any. Please straighten
that up, Mr.. Skunk-oh! Gressinger.
