September 18th, 1867.
Editor Of tn Register:
We were pleased to read in the Week
" REGISTER of the I'd .nltimo, Il notice
of the indictment found against 'foyap
DR.. Vim. l.. Rucker by the Grand jury
for this county, at TIE June term of the
Circuit Court. We congratulate every
true man, woman and child throughout
the State, on the opportunity thus af'
forded them of viewing this "ioHd-
shriekiRg RddicdW hoisted on his own
petard. No man in this section oi the
State has exercised more powerful
and bamrlHl influence in estab-
fishing, building up, and cement
ing together the dctestable and
INSCRIPTIONS test oath packed
party now dominant. He has been,
from the beginning of Lincolns inaug-
uration down to the present honr, an
open and defiant Radical, eyer ready TO
lend education and talents, as speaker
and writer, to the unholy cause of sap
ping and destroying the very temples
of Justice and LiJ9ty-his galvanized
speeches during 80 to the contrary not
githstanding. Since the fourth Thurs
day of October, 1865, he has held every
office in this county, trOm sheriff down
to trustee, III his handS-his omDipo-
tence being SO complete as to gain for
him the high and appropriate title OF
"Rddicdl God" amongst us. -
In the early part of the war this Yam
kee Radical was arrested by the mill
tarv authorities of Allegheny county
for seditiOus language aud suspicious
conduct. In his argument III defence
of his position, he insulted many present
bv his abuse, and when he was called
rnon by n party of gentlemen to retract
this vile and insulting language, he re-
piled by dra%ipg a bowie knife and
killing a Mr.. Joyce, one OF the party.
Recently he has been hssrd 10 declare
himselfin favor of "immediate and stef1
nal reDudiatiOn 0f our national debt"
unless Congress will ses executed the
laws for the confscation of all property
helonginu To rebels for the payment of
said debt so far as incurred in their own
snbiuqation and ruin. These are facts
stubborn, nndeniable facts; and from
them Won can form a correct estimate
of the man polttically--past, present
ond fnture., He il a strange compound
of bod nol;tioal and good personal quail
ities As a nolitician, he is. q biased,
one. side3 jlIibsraI and drrogant partisan
