Another Abolition Lie Matted A.

20 From Tho Dayton Empire. Sept 28th.l Ia =
q A chapter Of abuse appears In the Journal o
this morning, advertising the shame Of E
Stafford Young, sScavenger Gbneral Of tn,
Abolition gang Of midnight plotters who con
troll the party Of Loyal Phariseeb In this COM
munity. sAu attack made upon Mr.. George
Baber, BY the Cincinnati Gssetfe, some yeaI
and q half ago, and fully answered at thai
time, has been rsvamped for the purpose oi
making political capital here, because Mr.
Baber Ia employed at this time as q writer for
the Empire. Mr.. Baber was at one time peou'
niarily interested 10 the Nashville BsRaer, and
remained 10 It while iu hopes pi saving biz
psoperty--a course pursued by many "loyAp'
Union men Of that State, until al the frst or
portnnity which offered no came out on the
side Of the Union. He did good service ln the
Union 'csuse after the occupatlen OF Nash
Vile by opf troops under General BuslI, al
editor Of the Constifution, U1ioh paper, and
as Q public speaker. Hispspsr failed for want
OF support, and coming North, be receives q
welcome Of abuse at the hands Of the enemies
OF the Union here, because he refused 10 kneeI
down and worship at the shrine Of Abolition
lena and chooses rather to join the Democracy,
the true ffiends Of tho Union as twAsI and the
Constitution 90 IL 10. We do not rropose, hoW-
ever, TO let this matter rest uponIour own tea.
timonys We will convict Mr. Young IL q
base slanderer by testimony which he dare not
doubt, for he can not repndiate the source from
which Il emanates. .hta r.s Iif.A rA -
