frets through a quill, considerably, over
the "vilifycation" Of the Democratic
party. IF facts are villianies, we will
confess and do penance. But until thi
"Anti-orudite and scholastic "E. NJ. @ :"
convinces us, we will have to remain
notorious"
Now, Mr.. "Anti Erudise" aud Scho.
lastic," if you had acted the part of
gentleman" as you profess, with what
you had to say, you would have come
out in the "News," and said it like q
man, and not os you say "sneak" into
your den and spit forth your invective
After quoting fact, he says eve
well know that the lying lick .spittlos of
the Abolition Administration resort to
any foul aud dishonorabls means under
heaven to iaduce the people TO bow at
the shrine of Abolitioniam. There has
not been q scholar kept from School on
account of the teachers devotion to the
Unicn. l have written nothing but
what can be subgtantiated by good au-
thority. Tde writer is in error, or We
do not rightly comprehend what be
means by devotion to tho Union"
The charge against the "lyin 6 lick
spittles" is as spurious as 1t is vile, and
needs no further comment than TO be
mentioned that it may be dispised.-
For have it from good authority that
the children said they we're not going TO
School any more, because the teacher
had volunteered" and they did not
like persons who volunteered IF that
is not pretty conclusive evidence,
should like to know what would be con-
0idered good, This, together with the
fact tina: every Butternut IN the District
(ezcepting one family stopped of from
School about the same time, led US to
know that such were their reasons.
factions speak louder than words"
Go then, if you please, to the School
taught last summer, and what we're their
feelings then? Did any of the "gentle.
men" send to SCHOOL, Yes, cir, one
sch holar FIVE dsysI What were their rsa
sons? Not because their teacher was
devoted to the Union, but because her
political principles did not auit-shs did
not advocate supporting Vallandigham
Those were the most potent reasons. -
They themselves could assign none
other.
The writer appears to take great
pleasure in using the term "Abolition."
He takes great pains to stigmatize as
such all that do not belong to the
peace" Democratic party. Then he
let's himself down to cool By saying
G. Yes, that is what troubles the uncon-
stitutional Abolition fanatics just now.
They arc afraid that the Peace Demo
cratic party will succeed in huring the
present Administration from power by
slecting n peace President.
Hurting the present Administration
from power Yes, like they elected the
Governor of Ohio last fall Over tho
border" Further he says. They do
not stop at vilifying the Dem Ocratic
party in general, but stoops tc the low,
mean business of tryiEg to creste strife
md discord even among tha various
school districts, by such communications
s the one referred to in tho last weeks

We will answer this By saying, it was
written for no such purpose. When we

be used.
What I have said I say again, that
