The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1866-08-21
CUMBERLAND, Md,
Sent Ii 1866

my house and read to me a communi-
cation from this city to the Bedford
Inquirer, ;" signed Justice, which Mr..
s. seemed very much to enjoy.
The article to which am about TO
advert, would have escaped nay notice
las no one having any pretensions to
raspectabiIity in this community would
suffer so vile and filthy sheet a. the
"Bcdford inquirer tp be received in
their family had not this communica-.
ton been sent to Mr., Hext, one Of my
boardcrs, expecting thereby that it
would reach my eye. The writer of
the letter afiXc> the Signature of Jus
tice, 4" most inappropriate foran article
50 devoid Of truth and enbodying SO
much maIignity and venom indeed
the malice Of the writer Is only equal
ed by his arraut coWariice.
Some short time since | addressed to
your paper Il communication detailing
the proceedings of the Disunion Aoo-
lition Convention held here, which ev-
cry citizen knew was a ridiculous fail
ure, indeed the fidelity Of the account
aud the extreme senSitiveness of the
correspondent Of the Inquirer, attest
the truth Of my narrative. No read
er Of my former letter to your paper
will be deceived by the denial Of this
correspondent, who fears to commit his
name to his own production. ! am
authorized, then, in inferring that this
nameless correspondent, conscious of
the many fafsehoods contained in his
communication, was unwilling to COM
miteve his coWardly name to the It's
sue Of lies, with which it abounds, and
therefore cOntentcd himself with a
reckless and general denial Of my ac-
count of the Disuni0n meeting held IN
this place. This scurriIous and cow
ardly writer makes personal attack
on me- lie felt the sting Of the article
and feared the effect, or else he would
have attempted TO show It's falsity and
not have resorted to scurriIity and a.
buse and then sheltered his cowardIy
carcass under 50 inappropriate a name
a. that Of Justice
As the Bedford Inquirer" has no
circulation in this city, the letter from
Cumberland would have fallen still
born; but it owes its currency and cir
euIation solely to disappointed Ab-
olition ofice-seeker who is sojourning
in our midst. But to the letter signed
Justice" This naneles5 knight Of
the quill induIges inchOice and elegant
phrases; he says that l am san igno-
ramus and could not write Il single SEN
tence correctly if it were to save my
neck" As to the truth Of this leave
the public to Judge. He says further,
that lam blessed with just about as
much brains as is necessary to make a
good Copperhead Rebel syinpathizer.'
Adopting his peculiar and gentleman
ly StyIeof expression, l could retort by
saying that he has brains sufficient to
