Of his last issue to our benefit. We viii
not condescend to follow him in his low
billingsgate, as we freely and fully nc
knowledge that we are no match for HIN
in such a contest. The paragraph ovel
which he rants and raves SO much, ano
which he makes text, from which &c
pass glowing encomium upon the order
Iy conduct OF our soldiers now at home
on furlough, was penned at time
when we did not know that the soldiers
who had been breasting a leaden storm fol
years in defence of our old flag, had any
intenlion of -culietiug, much less ol
returning home.
We designed simply in the article over
which Robert weep; and mourns at our
81 degeneracy, to warn him and his co
adjutors in the plot conceived in Butter
nut caucus, and developed in the clerks
office when the soldiers vote was rejec-
ted--that they might triumph for sea-
son, over the popular will of the soldiers
as expressed at the ballot box, by de-
claring il unconstitutional for soldiers
away from the state to vote--but their
was time coming when the government
e.established by their yalor, would en-
able them again to return to the walks
of civil life, and then, as freeman, there
could be no question Of their right to
the elective franchise, and then they could
settle their accounts in full with those
who were their enemies during their alb
sence. 1t was the approach Of political
storm we warned them of, and not of a
mob, bloodshed, arson murder and death =.
as Robert has conjured up in his guilty
conscience. Curt Berry, DUNN and a
few others of the clique, know they have
wronged the soldiers of their birth right,
and their guilt is so damniug that they,
seek 10 creep out Of it by laying at ou'
door an intent to urge them on to deeds
the blackest known to the criminal cal
lander.
But DUNN, in his self gratulations,
gloaiing in his perversion of truth
pays . high panogyric on the ord
erly and gentlemanly conduct Of the
soldiers now at home--we never in all
our past history was so reminded of
,ha Devil reproying sin

Of Roberts ars:cle--as it was current.
ly reported on the streets which, how
ever, We did not crcdit) thst for t@ar o'
them, he had actually guard OF 70 men
posted in his office, ono night last week,
for fear of those "orderly and qenRemoniy
ftlloms," making raid upon it. And we
could not but smils, when we thought
that this very man, now eloquent in the
praise of the soldiers, was the very indi
vidual who. in his official capacity, as a
Justice Of the Peace aided the Clerk Of
the Court, in committing the most out
rageous, high handed piece of rascality,
ever enacted in any community, by dis
franchizins, at single sweep, the very
men whom hs now laudates so highly
We are not a bloody man, and do not be-
lieye in mobs, blood shed, arson or muir
dsr-nor are we at all movedat the high
sounding buncombe article penned by
Robert Dunn. Esq Justice Of the Peace
for Crane Township, in the misnamed
Union" of yesterday.
Robert, the soldiers know their friends,
and appreciate them accordingly. Ioar
Journal has made lis record; aud when the
soldiers return home permanently, you
and your aiders aud abettors in their dis
franc hisement, will reap your full reward.
Not, however, in mobs, blood-shed and
arsos; but by hurting you, and those now
in power, by the action of Locofoco
Clerk. from places of profit and honor
Justice.-full Juutice, will, with au even
hand be meted out to you.
KEEP cool, Robert. the soldiers won
hurt you--you and your property is safe
The soldiers are gentiemen--they are or
derly; but the time is soon at hand wher
they can rots at home. Mark it,
The Soldiers Supper.
