| Mr. Edltor-Dear Sir-hy perusing over the col
umns of your last week Edition discovered {
very complicate nsinuation upon my attempt to
run as candidate for Clerk of the Court Which
was supposed would have great tendency to radi.
cate the same old doctrine that some Flouers ha.
been proclamng during the last Five years save
that mo man can be loyal without being Re.
| publican or in other words that Every Demo.
crat is a traitor" wish to inform that fine I'm.
iOnist that either he has been in some great World
| of-imagination, or his brains are rapidly morti.
fying for my part think there Is little of the two
and that the later comes first, which seems to be
| very eXpedient for the first TO cOnclude.-Now
here comes the imaglnations of the mortifying
| BRAIN
"When jackson County was threaten with a
| draft he gathered up his duds which were very
tew-Scarcely change and skedadled for the
Queen City of the West. Here he remained until
draft was threatened and thence he skedaded
from thence to st Louis, and from thence back
home to JACKSON County" The draft had been
threatening for over six months before left for
Cincinnati and Mr. Scurlock had been enrolling the
Names of those that were subject to the draft some
six weeks before left for the City among which
my Name is to be seen all my surrounding neigh
bors were aware of my intention several weeks
before left-I Went to the City for the sole pur-
pose of going to Commercial College to Study
Book Keeping and after got there was advised
by Mr. ID Evans Book Keeper of the Ohio Valley
Bank that If l wanted to qualify myself in bust
ness.-that had better search for employment as
Salesman in q dry goods Store and in connection
with that toke lessons in Book Keeping with some
Experience Book Keeper and very Kindly in Mr.
Evans consented to instruct me Next course
when the draft was threatened in Cincinnati he
Skedadled for st Louis.n This again is very
wrong expression and base lie. for the draft hnd
Just been some two weeks previous TO my leaving
for st Louis q when got there the draft was in
operation u remained so when left. So you can
perceive that the Noted Uaionist has been in the
world of imagination or either he is an habituate
hdr. You Stated Mr. Editor that the author of
the piece was young Welshman that had been
in the army Nearly three years. Not doubling
your word Mr. Editor he may call himself such
but beg leaf to inform the Gentleman that his
principles are nconsistant with that OF the Welsh
from the Simple fact that Welshman in true
sense OF the word would not come out before the
public to expose himself as base insinuotiao idr
and signed his Name anonymous" The Welsh
principle is to talk plain and give plain signatures
so Mr. Unlonist If you want to be classed as
Welshman you better come out and denote your
self palmer next time He stated that 'packed
up my duds which were very few scarce change"
You are wrong there again if You please. for thank
providence have been blessed with duds as You
call them as much as any man in the Country but
that don't make the case better or worse admitting
the case to be so. poverty is no disgrace to a man.
for wealth may take its wings and fly away"
one great man Expresses himself thus
1T is the mind that makes the man"
Ills mot in titles nor In rank
lis not in wealth like London bank
t. make us truly blessed ....
Ifhappiness have not her seat
And Centre in the breast
We may be wiso or rich or great
But never can be blessed.
