From Walton's Journal.
Mr.. EDITOR, DEAR SIR:

Az hs LSohbOh, '(chh I'm
noticed an article in the Argus, pur.
porting to be from some one in Glover
who sigus his name G. A. G. Caleb A.
Clark,) who does some big swelling, brags
about his "Unionism" and that of the
Argus, and says he thinks it "a shame
that only half score of the democrats of
that town could be prevailed upon to take
the Argus" that he had "teased folks
till he was all out Of patience" probably
o half dozen would come nearer the trdth,)
He then spices his wonderful cpistle to
the Argus with apiteful allusion to the
reconstruction resolutions and few in
sulting remarks and lying inuendoes in
regard to the representative from Glo-
ver." getting in enough of the indecent to
give it relish to the Argus man and en-
sure it an insertion
There is very good reason why sofcw
of the democrats of Glover can be prevail
ed upon to tako the Argus, for there are
not half dozen democrats of the Atkins
type in town, but most of them are hon.
orable, decent men, and spiW not take it
on any conditions. They think that
sheet SO fraught with falsehood ana
political sophistry is not worth the sub
scription price. They prefer to take a
paper that publishes some truth, and
knowing the editor Of the Argus is bank
rupt in morals and rotten in politics, and
never wastes any truth when he can make
falsehood answer his purpose. they are
ashamed to take his paper or have it seen
about their houses. Most of them sus.
taiued the government by their influence
their money and their votes, in it'd late
struggle with treason, while Caleb A.
Clark, and a few others opposed the in.
terests of the government, and like Hiram
Atkins and every other dirty dog Of 0
copperhead, joined the cry Of exultatior
whenever its plans, its purposes, or it'
arms were defeated, hailed the murder o.
Mr. Lincoln with laugh of satisfaction
and who, to day, reverence the name O
]. Wilkes Booth, and still cling to thei
negro hatred, the last rotten plank in tn,
now shattered and crumbling platform o
modern sham democracy.
Such men have no right to the name o
democracy. They are dead weight t
any party to which they profess to adhere
No wonder that the writer of that articl
should have q natural affinity for Atkin
and the Argus They are politically boil
of the same spawn aud both crawl in tn
same filthy slime Of treason to principle
party and country. No wonder that an,
worshiper of Jeff. Davis, Booth aud tn
Drunken Tailor" who seeks to maligl
the name of q returned soldier, shoul,
forward his communication to the Argu
for publication. He is eminently consis
tent in this for no more fitting vehicl
could be chosen to carry his filth,
virus.
Probably Atkins has not forgotten tn
boys in blue from the hospital, who, fo
some reasonable utterances of his. prof
fered him "a uniform of tar and feathers
and "a free ride on a rail" upon conditio
that that desirable donation would b
temporarily deferred if he would come ou
and cheer the flag. Ha ha Mr.. Argus
you had TO cheer that time, didn't you
1t seems that Mr.. Argus and Mr.. Clar
are much diScomfted by the reconstrut
tion resolutions of last year because the
, speak in condemnation of Northern ira
tors, and hit then, in their sorest gasl
Too lad, Atkins. When aciW people
persuaded to take the Argus and believ
that the "Union" party comprises onl
those who fought the Union four years
q When will people sec the beauty, consi'
! tsncy and solidity of that Union, whic
: consists in fOrCibly separating the statt
e of the Union by treason, conspiracy an
9 rebellion. and sending them off in opp
site directions at the same time i? Whe
0 will the Atkins democracy Of Vernon
;, and the National Union democracy Of d,
) Wis, Vallandigham and johnson. be o.
: preciated ? When will its adherents r
= eeive their due reward7 Answer-Whe
G they are ground to fine powdsr.
