But men who livetln glass houses should net
throw stones. Did not a leading Democrat of
this town, procure the printing of DemecrAtic
tickets, excepting they had the name of ToWHe
for Judge instead of Newman, with the knowl-
edge ofall, or q part Of the Democratic Central
Committee, and without the Condemnation or
even objection of any Of them? Did not the
real autheT of that article, eleetoneer a yoang
Democratic vote for Irvine Dungan, and when
b0ld by that Demoerat that ne would vote for

was right that he, (the real autlfcf,) often
voted for a friend on the ether side" and that
he intended TO vote for TowRe hmself? Did
not several menabers OF your clique vote for

and such things might be proved, no tas wrong,
but to show the Inconsistency Of mon. do not
believe there Is a man on the Democratic. Cen

But they have 4 "AoaTish" for "Judge John
Stevenson" He has been staunch supporter
and VOtcT of the Demecratic party for forty
eight years. He never scratched q county ticket
UHtil the 18th inst. There Is not man de-
Rounced in that article, who has not always been,
heart and soul, In favor Of the administration Of
this government on Democratic principles And

Of Democratic principles to-day, they have eyer
had, Why, then, did they notvote for the whole
Democratic County Ticket on the 18th inst2

zealoUsly supported the Democratic ticket from
the first cOnlett of Old Hickory down to tho
present time, with Others who have heretofore
been equally uniform aud Jealous In their sup
port OF the same party slnce they became voters,
refuses to vote The whole county ticket It must
be because there is some good reason for it
because there Is something rotten In Denmark.
Gentlemen, pluck the beam out of your own
eyes. Examine yourselves closely Look back
over your own recOrdsas voters and campalgners.
See whether you have always had an eye single
to the faith, with your tgrannieal construction
Of the faith. Is II not true that a .few of you
have assuiaUd tocOntrol political matters to suit
yourselves, regardless of the real desires of the
people, to run the political machine yourselves
for your own benefit, exclusively? q
II upon seIf.oxamination closely as TO your
sins, you shall remaia Ia the wlckedness ofyour
ways, and Insist that shall not belong to the
Democratic party, why, then, Will go TO Ken
unhormed and as TO DAVID NJ, James, he says
that he will "enigrant" to Vega and vote undOr
