There is q newspaper printed at kelths-
burg, Mercer county, called the O6serUer.-
When the Birdsalls published it, it was Il
respectable paper, but since it has fallen into
the hands of the Reverend A. G. Lucas it has
become the vehicle of falsehood and misrep-
resentation The reverend editor of that pa
per knows that he wholly misrepresents
what we said about Boston Corbest's testi-
nony, in the Wirz case and he knows he
does not speak the truth when he says the
democratic papers plead the cause of the
rebels. The democratic papers, democratic
speakers, and democratic party have ever
bsen the true friends of the Union and the
determined opponents of the rebellion. And
we venture to say that we hove personally
done more to put down the rebellion and sus-
tain the Union than the reverend gentlemen
who now SANDERS US.
