The New era. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1865-1871, 1865-10-05

In his late card-Mr. c. being a lawyer
is fully aware of the value and weight
of circumstantial evidence, when backed
by probability, reasoning then from an
alogy-that what Mr.. G. denies in his
card Though what it is, is hard to tell,
is not true. What he has never dared
to DENY must be true, giving him the
benefit of the one position, we of course
claim the other. Then the case stands
that Mr.. C. did say that every man in
Harper's Ferry who had the temerityto
sign that petition, was drunkard, gam.
bier, loafer, secessionist, &C. That he to
accomplish his purpose, and crafty his
spite and personal animosity, did thus
publicly belle and SANDER, falsely and
knowingly these men,-that he did not
deny it in the publicmannerW which gave
the vile SANDER to the community at
large, would have been half apolygized
for, upon the hypothesis that he never
wrote articles for the papers, and that he
always should continue this reticent
but his having (per contra) published
card denying certain things or express
sions attributed to him, rendering this po-
sition untenable and at once shows that
Mr.. C. like all the rest of mankind, will
deny anything derogatory to HIM, which
he can truthfully substantlate his not
having done so before is presumptivee v-
idence, strong, to atiX this damnable
SANDER indelably upon him.
Voters of jefferson county, this is the
man you are called upon, either to up
hold and stamp upon his words the i'm.
press of truth, or to show by your actions
your utter detestation of such false accu
sations. For at the coming election, this
man who says in Il public speech, that
the signers Of that petition were gam
blers, etc., says more, he says or implies
that every man who supports John w.
Kennedy sis the same" This is but a
fair conclusion to deduce from his own
language, and is but carryingout i'll gen
eral application, what he localized and
made special. This man who carries
his ultra radicalism so far as togive vent
to it in these expressions i'll a public
speech: 81 am for imposing on all men
who directly or indirectyaided the rebel
lion, all and every disqualification and
disability. That if could accomplish
it, they should not be allowed to vote,
nor have any rights in a court of justice,
nor any privileges as citizens; and if
elected after this public expression ofmy
views. shall take it as an instruction to
carry out any and all such tlisqualifying
laws and acts.' Men of Jefferson coun-
ty, will you by yeur votes, endorse such
ultra, radical, suicidal policy as this, or
will you stamp it with the seal of your
just Indignation, and allow Mr.. c. to rus
ticate amid the beauties of nature, and
fill himself to repletion amid the calmer
joys of home. | call upon you as men
jealous of the welfare and prosperity OF
our State, looking to her future greatness
and aiding in her material interests to
repudiate at once and forever this radi-
cal doctrine, and all others of the same
Tx. TO take broader and more COM
prehensive view of the interests of the
body politic-leave this narrow-minied
self-aggrandizing policy to die of sheer
starvation, and ascending higher in the
scale of philanthropy and justice, en-
dorse the policy of our worthy President,
and by electing conservative ticket,
! best conserve the interests of our State.
