mean gambling holes, not in the house
of God. We hope never again TO meet
with such degradation, such profana-
tion, such violation of the. commands of
God. = - Yours, &C., TIM PRIM.
Editor.of the Register:
The true Union party of this county
think of getting out scouts whose mis-
sion shall be to investigate a portion of
old Parson Brownlow's congregation,
which gave the ciril citizens Of this sec
ton so mnch trouble three, four and
five years ago, which buried the Consti-
tuition and cried Union and the Flag,
which laid plans TO plunderand dishon-
estly take into its own possession the
property of those so-called traitors,
which got some honest men to go
to the army, presenting, apparently,
to them great inducements, viz: that
they should at the close of the war,
have certain tracts of land, which said
party would contiscate while others
carried OH the war. The party have
reference to, is the same that shouted
and raised militia companies, and raised
an insignificant voice, that they were
going to the battlefield and put down
the rebellion; but never shouldered any
thing more dangerous and deadly than
a corn stalk, and did not even shoulder
that after dark, they were such miser-
able towards. The party which did
these mean actisns in clandestine
manner, or by unconstitutional measures,
also gave power into one mans
hands to decide who shall vote and
who shall not, laying aside
civil law and perpetrating the meanest
and basest actions, under what they
termed military law, placing men in
irons and in dungeons. For what 7
Because they would not turn in with
the party to plunder and butcher, cry
Union and sing that musty song, Orally
round the Flag, Boys" Sc, forming
Union League societies, in which every
member was sworn to vote for and de-
fend the party, to report to the "Board
of Registration" any person supposed
to be disloyal, especially to the
government of West Virginia, and
this august Board, appointed by
their king and master, would
decide whether he was citizen, or
not citizen. 1t is the identical party
that destroyed Democratic presses, took
Democratic documents from post offices
and burned them, and asserted that mig
ger was as good as white man. "Cried,
Father Abraham, the Saviour of our
Country" Il wonder what they think of
old mother Abraham, by this timeO We
are under conviction that if they are
a generous party, they will raise for her
"an hundred thousand mOre"-dollars,
that she may swing round the circle
snce again.
The object Of our investigation is
this; to know whether the party is COM
pos mentiS or not. We are under the i'm
preston that it is an insane party, and
if it proves to be, We propose
to be merciful, and place it in the
proper position for all insane things.
1t must be very humiliating for par
ty so prosperous in plundering, so fat in
Office, so accustomed to calling white
men traitors, butternuts, &c, to be
whipped so suddenly, and set down for
ever, when they expected to render
themselves immortal as Union saving
party, and slave liberators. Shameful
it is, that instead of Father Abraham
being spoken of by the coming genera
tions as the saviour of our country,
he will be said to have been tool in
the hands of his Cabinet, and Mother
Abraham called the tail feathers of the
Government. This will look bad upon
the pages ofhistory. parson Brownlow
must be very unhappy Minister of the
Gospel, to allow tho lambs of the flock
to sink their immortal parts to eternal
punishment. When can he meet his re-
ward? Will he go hand in hand with
the New England Eunuch?
Yours, &c,
