cd They passed through t,is place for
their homes on Wednesday cl ast week.
That they we're deluded by "iBoomsburg
lawyers" and editors, aud through their
advice and teachings led into trouble, we
have always believed, and hence we felt
tha it was hard that they should suffer
for what their leaders were really respon

The Green Creek Petroleum company,
of which concern the abolii tory ed-
tor is the President desiring to curry favor
with the "Fisbingcreckcrs;" )" aud in order
to induce them by promises tn reprcscn-
tationa, never 10 be fulfill d, to lease or
sell to them their Petroleum lands now,
for personal interests and equally sinister
purposes croaks and whines over that
state of things which he and his abolition
assistants brought about. The people up
the creek understand Pee John and his
party, they know the latent rascality luik
ing in their Vaccinations and they ap.
precate at its full value, bis mock sympa.

Even in the paragraph above quoted he
has OF the sense TO conceal his hatred and
malice. He talks of the "Fishingcrcek
Confederates," endeavoring to fas;e up on
innocent citizens an opprobrious cpthct,
or the purpose of injurng their reputa.
;ion and blackening their memory. He,
the dirty stink, pretending sympathy for
our friends up the creek-for we are proud
to say that MoSe men are or JfjcndS and
that tact is most complete answer to the
niggerhead $ ipsinuaton aud brlief--why
he never,in paragraph in his paper, sought
to loosen their bonds or mitigate theil
sufferings. Week after week their n mes
were paraded ip his miserable sheet, and
be chuckIed over the fucl that the public
business OF the county was retarded BY
reason of her public officers being in Font
Milln.
Lying letters were written by him or
his friends to the Philadelphia hgusrw,
talking about Forts, rife pits, eDtrcnch
ments, &c., he knOri"g their fabtty, yet
he never in single article in his paper
sought 10 correct the false impressions OF
contradict the lies; but assisted in their
circulation, and 10 so far as he could, gave
them character. For years his paper haA
teemed with lies, slang, ISLANDERS and in.

shed crocodile tears over their sorrows

equally grouudless with tho denuncations
and talsebood he has hereto fore published
about the people up the creek but under
cover o which, he suppoSes he can retreat
to his den and secure his oil. H is simply
adding to his accumuations of folly and

a day Of reckoning will come for him and
