preachers, through the Smut Machine, in
which he most unquali6edly wished all
men who disagree with him in political

would like to name. A vagrant itinerans

Rev. p. F. Eyer, who lately turned 9
somerset out of the back window of the
Sugarloaf School House, in excusing his
cowardice, describes Democrats, as "msn

his honored Father, who is what he never
was or will be, Democrat, gentleman
and Christian. Shame on 6uch hypocrisy.
Reu. d. a. Beckley. we are told, led 3
political meeting last Sabbath, in ID E.

upon the Records Of our Quarter Sessions,

What trio of Preachers. And what
else could be expected Of fools and fanat-
ics-inspired by negrophobia. Oh! the

YOU consider his conduct al Churuousco and
