Editor of the Register
Not having seen any communication
from this part of our loyal county il
your excellent paper for some time,
will, by your permission, "Sho~ min
opinion Also
Well, our late election, so-called
passed off without anything worthy O
notice. The mongrels, it is true, flap
ped their black wings and crowed like
lusty Shanghai roostcrs, over what they
termed great victory. But now LEI
lis see how that victory was gained
Some time before the election, the mon
crels, after careful counting of noses
saw very plainly that if they did not
invent some Yankee trick that the true
Constitutional Union men would send
the whole fraternity up Salt river
Therefore the Inquisition passed q
speedy decree that q sufficient number
of the names Of Union men in each
township be stricken from the Book, thu
qreat Book of Remembrance, so as to be
certain of q radical majority. Thu:
twelve of our loyal tax payers of this
township were notified on the day be
fore the election, to appear before the
great Board of Grand Inquisition al
their next meeting, 10 show cause why
their names should not be stricken from
the "Book of Life But the time aud
place of the meeting of these wise Sol
onions was not set forth in the notice
o shades of Washington! was ever in
trigue OF base corruption of moral prin
ciples like unto this in boasted land
Of freedom before. And the only true
reason why these twelve American citi
zens had to be DISTINGUISHED and de
clared aliens to the commonwealth q
Sumner, Stevens, Wade s. Co., was be
cause they could not bow the knee ant
worship the Golden Calf Of 4fricaH scent
But the true friends Of Union and Lib
erty in this hill country are still deter
mined to push forward the car of De
nocracy.
The REGISTER is doing a good work
in this county. Many have been con
WINGED by its teachings that this is the
whit, mans country. We consider th,
REGISTER the best paper in the State
and it should be weekly visitor to ev
cry Union loving family in the State
The Methodist Episcopal Churcl
South has recognized, and is strength
ening her stakes and lengthening he
cords" in these parts of our country
and the reason of her great success il
mainly owing, perhaps, to the fact tina
as q Church she stands uncOntaminatet
with political matters.
A general spirit of improvement
seems to prevail in this section Of coun
try in the way Of erecting better ant
more substantial buildings Messrs
Bell and Huddleston have furnished
this community with an abundance o
choice lumber from their saw mill
Sayres & Co. have also erected porta
BILE saw and grist mill at the Thre
Forks of Reedy, which will no doub
cause Three Forks to soon claim the ii
tie of a city, and perhaps ask Ou
worthy Legislature to locate tn
Capital here. All that the people O
this community want to make them n
enterprising and prosperous people, j
men of brains and right principles, +
legislate for them, and give them equa
rights. Notwithstanding moro than on
half of the people here are deprived Q
