A SCAyDALOTS SHEET.

We last week had occasion to show
UP the lying brag of the Waveriy Neacs,
and other Conservative papers. Mean
while, the Meas itself was exposing its
own vilcncss in another direction
Never did VIC, or any one else we think,
lay eyes on so outrageou, a publication
us that paper of the 18th ult. Its lead
ing editorial has over the top, "A little
more hcll-firc, Mr.. Devil" and then
.hc column is given up to q .rigmarole
of the most awful profanity and bias
Shemous bawdyism that ever issued
from fiehd in earnate. AZ chronicles
Of current events, we feel it necessary
to advert to the article; and yet we
can give our readers no idea of its
rhockingly wicked character. We
would not Cor any price pollutc our
columns, by copying even ono sentencc
Of such rowdy profanity. 1t is enough
50 say, that in fifty lines, it has twcnty-
nine Of the most shocking oaths, and
Mirty-eigh of the most loathsome vul-
garities that ever were heard in q
brothel! And the whole sheet is much
ofthe same sort! a"
The worst feature of the thing is this.
.ns ,n , trntl,YY iiI this, characteristic regard
GOOD part of this stuff as the ac.o~l the
ferapGfee q o Z .ss infnois! and to
this end LIE pretends to copy it from
"raafcal paper!" Without hesitation
We at once pronounce the allegation
unqualiflidly false. And we demand
of the Nc,rs, to announce at once from
What radical paper it took that mat
ter,and to show the article, or give
other proof that tho whole thing is not
vile fabrication Of its own, or of some
other copperhead sheet. Till it docs
this, let 1t stand convicted of the basest
forgery and the foulcst filth ever spew-
cd out upon an insulted community.
No wonder that its last number has
to speak of the indignation, which was
aroused in Bremen county, by this aw-
ful outburst of scurrility. But in n
mock show Of apologizing, it exceeds
IA profanity and impotence all that
had gone before. Such filthy publ
cation is its own antidote. This is the
consolation; sin so overacts itself rs to
cause its own overthrow Thus do

we outsiders only turn the scene to ac-
count, rs Il good illustration of demon
lac vileness and folly.
1T is certainly unfortunate for our
good sister town of Waverly, as well rs
fer Bremen county, that such n plague
pest finds Judgement in its bosom. No
wonder that is citizens blush over its
shame. No wonder the world thinks
less Of that community which can toll
crate, and patronize, and enjoy such A
sink OF pollution in its midst. No
wonder If new settlers already are tlrl-
ed aside TO other localities, of better
moral aspect; SO that the town md
county shall suffer greatly from the pre-
enceof nuisance like that.
bet it be we'll marked by all, how
much tho character and reputation of
pIorc depends upon its journalism. y
worthy, discreet, heightened newspa-
per is a great credit to any people. 1t
web AND worthi!y sounds forth their
fame, ard invites the world to come
and bask in their genial and healthful
light. Whereas, 81 corrupt, pr0iane,
docc;ving, and vulgar press is a serious
drawback TO the growth OF place,
especially driving off all the better and
purer elements Of advancing society
Weyefily beiieyethat such a foul sheet
~ the Ncacs might be, aud should be,
indicted "A and abatcd as a public

prosperity, as ~'ell rs the moral health

~ The moral OF all is this: Let Ill
good citizens appreciate and sustain
virtuaus press among them. Let all
rejoice, ftheir community is uncursed
with the presence of such a corrupt
Journal rs the one indicated above. =
Let all do what they can to elevate and
encourage the sheet, that is laboring
only for their physical and moral good.
