RADICAL IGNORANCE.
Ths Belmont Chronicle Calls
a Man Liar for Telling Il c
Truth.
From the Belmont Chronicle, April 23.

'c0PPKRHEAD LYING.
The Cadiz Sentinel Of last week. has
one page decorated with roostprs. growing
over election returns. The intelligent read
er may Judge of the character of th Sc re-
turns by the following sample:
Michigan one of the strongest and most
intense Radical States in the Union, which
was carried by tine Republicans last year
majority Of 90 600. now votes down
and repudiates the cardinal principle Of the
party, negro suffrage. by 10000 maiority."
The facts about the Michigan e,e,tions,
s'e. that last year the Republicans cartied
the 8 ate, and elected Governor Fairchild
by 4.7si majority, and this year the Re-
publican majority on judges is over 5000,
showing very decided Republican gain.
The editor Of the Sentinel like Democratic
editors generally, gees on the theory, that,
There is no use of man to be liar, unless
he IS - OF liar.
eA-Col. Poorman, in the above, only
shows the usual instincts of Radical editors
IL ia in keeping with all articles written by
Radical Editors. They will spout and blow,
and talk Of lying Dem ocratic editors, and
at the me time know nothing Oh the facts
Of the subject about which they are writing.
lnlS63 there appeared local article in
the Cadiz Republican which the Republican
gave as an instance Of the ignorance Of
Democrats. 1t charged that a Democrat
from the country in discussing politics, had
said that he did not know how Valian-
diglam would run in OHIO, but that he
would sweep things in West Virginia. -
This the Chronicle copied. Now, ne had
proot of Democratic ignorance. An oh.
scure man from the country had thus shown
his ignorance. Judging by the same rule,
what shall re say now of the Radicals?
When leader in the party-a Coloncl-
an aspirant for Congress-a Radical editor
"a teacher in the party-ahnouneed to the
world in the columns of a party organ
that the Governor of Wisconsin, (Fairchiid)
had carried Nnhigan by 4764 msjority!!!!
What intelligence Bingham will staud no
chance in nominating convention against
this smart man-this posted politician who
n 30 free to announce that Democratic edi-
tors go on the principle that 'Ihere is no
use Of man heing liar unless he Is
- of liar" How concisely he gives
the facts about the Michigan election held
in Wisconsin! Whew! democratic editors
dent tell the truth Let this wise-acre
correct them! He knows all about the mat.
ter and is ready and willing to correct their
f,lsehoods! Whevi Let Congressman
j'oorman write statistics for the Tribune
.4mdnacl He would have large radical
majority in every State.
And what virtue he gives himself ere
dit for2 He says ''thc Intelligent reader
may Judge cf the character of these returns
by the following sampled "Now, Colonel,
dill you with to fool some intelligent
cnntraband? And then he gives 'the
fact" about the Michigan elections! How
kind, Colonel!

publican. over Green, Democrat, IA, 1854
Mr.. Belmont Chronicle, the Tribune Az
manac, sustains the fgures'd the Sentinel
Is the 1r,Lune man -- OF liar, also?
II the Chronicle has any regard for
truth, it will correct its error We will be
charitable, and attribute it to ignorance,
although man holding the position and
having the aspirations which the Chronicle
man possesses should not be SO ignorant
Please correct. There is State called
Wisconsin, which has not get been remored to
Michigan.
