The Philistines are upon us.

GEo. NJ. RrcuART, Of the "Pius ton
Gasete." some weeks since, copied an ar.
ticle, into his paper, headed CIVILIAN
BURGESS" and credhed 1t to the "Biooms.
burg Democrat" Following up the ex-
tract. Mr.. Richars gave Mr.. Burgess a
good name, aid pronounced him "patri-
OF" alledging that he had "shouldered his
muske, and was doing Gods service in the
Army" We tell you this is a SANDER upon
Mr.. b. He did no such thing. Like
most other "loyai lcagucrs," M B., eva.
ded duty when called to fill up the Army,
and thereby defraudcd the Government o f
his services. Just as did Geo. NJ, Ricbart,
Palemon John, and Ira Avery. This is
the religion Of these loyal scamps.
Mr.. Burgess, it is reported, is in the
Army. This is only true in part. Find
ing it an uphill business to any longer
run the 1unkhannock Smut Marhine.' -
he went to Washington mot to "shoulder
his musket'-not to fight in the ranks
but to enjoy the emoluments OF a safe and
lucrative Office (out-of.harm's-way) and
joined the army Of the loyal thieves and
robbers. Mr.. Richart, 10 the next place,
administers to us a little loyal advice. He
thinks we have never abused the rebels, ,or
supported tho Government, and advises US
to ego down South and kick for a job
with JEFF. Davis" Now, If we have no,
abused the rebels, as this loyal lincoln.
poop thinks we should, we have stirred up
their allies in the North-the abolition 10y.
Al-leaguers-who are equally traitors tothe
Country and enemies to the Union.
We did more. We. shouldered our
musket, in the hour Of our country's peril
with our two Sons, two Sons.in- Law, and
twelve nephews then in the. field, and
marched down South in defense of our
country to the bloody fields of South
Mountain and Ansietam. Where then
were the valorous Richarts, Burgesses'
Averys Johns, &c., with all their vaunted
loyalty aud patriotism Sneaking at home
denouncing patriotic democrats as "trai.
tors and copperheads !"
Fool-like, Mr.. Richart, intimates that
our teachings caused the difficulties in
Fishingcreck. Does he know, poor sim
pleton, that the abolition conspiracy against
those inoffensive men up Fishngcreek, has
proven failure and been pronounced a
farce. And we are proud to-day to say,
that with all the searching, swearing and
falsifying OF the "loyal kia.nappers," that
they were unable to in.plicate our fidelity
to good order, or even suspect our patriot.
ism, or that of any other Democra, in
bloousburg. Yes,we stand defantly upon
the Record, and boldly appeal to it's truth
for our vindicalion from tho tongue Of "a,
umny.
But word moro, to this "verdant loyal
Lacquer and his click of abolition liars.
We notice, Mt. Richart, that in your ar
ticlo, as applicable to US, you ha We int er-
sperced the term 'c0wardice." We hurl
1t back, with re-doubled force in your
teeth, as unworthy the emanation of eth.
era gentleman or a patriot. And, we
warn you in advance, that if you repeat
the 'ns'muaison, and escape the wringing
of a goose's-ncck, you may feel the weight
OF gentlsman's boot in close proximity
to your posterion organization.
10 you and all such pimps and critters,
we would say, once for all, stand from, IN
