Hon. Geo. Y. Lawrence, ever a
thorn in Democracy's side, has opened
the wound af'esh, and, according to
the last issue of the Messenger, has
forever placed a barrier between him.
7alf and his constituents of this coun-
y See in what he has offended:
CAT Radical meeting in Lawrence
vile, Allegheny county, Pa, on the
evening Of the oath ult., George V.
Lawrence, member of Congress from
this district, was present and in the
course of his remarks, offered gross
and gratuitous insult to the people of
Greene county. ID" Mr..
Lawrence said
GO into Greene county, and you
will find something to cat if you are
hungry, and something to drink if
you are dry, for there are plenty of
still-houses in that locality, Qaughter,)
and it is upon such as that the Democ-
racy depends. They pay bat little
attention to education there, and in
such places the Democrats have ma
.jority. This is the case in reference to
the low places in New York city, and
in other localities. Where you find
ignorance and crime you find Demo-
Gratis"
Withoutattompting to apologize for,
or, in any way screen Mr.. Lawrence,
for this censuro upon the intelligence
of our citizens, we cannot but express
our surprise at the farors seemingly ex-
cited in the breast of our "chaste"
neighbor. Why does he take up the
gauntlet so readily, in this instance,
in defence Of the character and learn
ing Of Greene county? Mr.. Law
renee but gave expression to the senti-
mcnt which this would-be vindicator,
and his party, have all along labored
to impress upon the public abroad.
They are champions Of stW-houses and
the enemies Of sch0ol-houses! They
are ever ready with a word of COM
fort for the Illicit distillcr, but let
schooI-teaahcr offend their sense of
PEopriety, and immediately they put
in motion vicious go-rounder intend
del to damage him and his profession.
If thcroadar. Of the Messenger haven't
bad memories, they will recollcct a
recent article upon the College Com
menccmcnt, noticed by us before. This
was noticed elsewhere, Democratic
exchange, Of an adjoining county,
seized it rs a morsal of hate against
tire cnliehtcnmcat and advancement
of onr county and gave It the follow
ing gratuitOus notice; ...
POLITICAL CoLLEGE.-The COM
menccment eXercics Of Wayncsburg
(Grcone county, College came off last
week. The Messenger informs us that
the most OF the exercises on the occa-
sion were mere ''poiiticm hd,rangues ~
The same paper adds: "loo many Of
the literary institutions of our country
IRE being made the hot beds of Radi-
ism, and perhaps none more 50 than
" title institution Of this place."
Ills is the opinion Of our institu-
:ions thai they would have circulated
sbroad-"2Mh" Nov, we ask our
readers, and the readers of the DIes-
scnger, in all candor, isn't there vast
deal of dissimulation in their defence
Of your intelligence and morality p
They would disable your institutions
Of learning and at the same time repcl
an assault upon your intelligence! The
hungry pack that thus assails your
common sense should be taught better!
