DEMoCRATIc LIrERATURE.

We understand that several Radicals
in Mason county are in receipt Of one or
TWO newspapers in the interest of The
opposition party, and although they
yer subscribed for them, and even
ordered them 10 be discontinued,
ore sill bored by having them sent BY
the proprietors. Sill further inquiries
have resulted in the disclosure Of The
Iact that the subscription price in each
case has been paid by parties belonging
to the Conservative party. They are
sent to these men in the hope that they
will have some influence in alternating
their support from the Radical party.
This Is decidedly cheap literature, gu!
from some expressions let drop by par
ties directly interested, We surmiso the
trick won't work very we'll. We would
advise Conservative philanIrophiss to
put their spare money 10 some better
use. A Conservative newspaper is about
the greatest nuisance in existence, and
the writings Of their editors is valuable
only as illustrating to what IoW'and
humiliating position man may descend
when he prostitutes a small amount OF
brains in behalf of IaDgaishiug and
sickly cause. Try something else, gen.

ARTFUL DODGERS

The opposition papers seem to have
appointed themselves the special guar
dians Of the financial affairs Of the peo.
pie, and the facility and learning they
display in mathematics is perfectly
astonishing. One cannot refrain from
smiling at tho brozen efFrOntery they
exhibit in distorting facts by figures,
and, alter assuming sOnclimonous air,
asking their readers il they are no! as.
founded at the result of their investiga.
tions. Well, we should think they would
have some cause to be. If their solu.
lions in arithmetic are to be taken as an
evidence Of their own veracity, then we
believe the old adage that Figures can't
lie," is entirely exploded. The briny,
crocodile tears they have Shed over 1.-THE
corruptions of the Radical party" we
presume would almost 6ll pint meas
ure. These Conservatives who talk so
much about the ox!ravaganCe Of officials
elected by Radical votes, charging them
indirectly if not directly with stealing
money from the public treasury, gener-
ally belong 10 that class of men who
try 10 hide their own guilt by pursuing
innocent men and Justify crying out
"stop theft" stop thiefW Blu, a short
time ago number Of the most prom.
inent Union citizens of Point Pleasant
were indirectly charged with corruption
and perjury through the columns Of q
newspaper Published in the interest of

billingsgate is the burden Of their song.
Who made these penny,a. liners. these
men who squirt out their foul bile
through the dry and tedious columns of
Democratic journals, the keeper of
other mems conscience? If they will
only attend to their own delinquenoies
we opine they will find steady employ
ment for some time to come.
