IUroxIcATED. .EDIToRs.-The Union
ist says that Democratic editor was
recently $50 deplorably drunk that he
could hardly hold up his head or keep
down the rebellious substances which
he had lately devourcd," and the I'm
ioniSt advises us to elevate our Gown
debased political associates"
We do not deny that some Demo
cratic editors drink alcoholic liquors
to excess; and no one can regret it
more than we do. But it strikes us
that this charge comes with a very
bad grace from the editor of the I'm
iomist. If the universal testimony
from California may be believed, he
himself was in the habit, while there
of getting so drunk that he could not
"hold up his head y and though he
occasionally abstained for a season
yet he invariably, like dog, returned
to his vomit" again. We might also
show that he is not the only Mongre
editor who gets gloriously drunk ey
cry week and that he himself ha:
"debased political associates" He is
nice fellow to talk of "God-and
Morality" y,"-isn't he?

Long Tom Correspondents.

MoNRoE, Benton Co., Og'n, Dec. 81, '67.
Editor State Rights Democrat:
Long Tom has been on a bust, and spread
himself generally, and the denisens thereof
who did any travelling were compelled to eli.
ther wade or swim. ''The windows OF the
heavens were opened and the fountains of tho
great deep broken up" and dampness gen.
orally prevailed, but the spirits Of the dwell.
ers in this romantic region did not seem to
be dampened--not muchly-nor their equan.
unity disturbed by the appearance Of such
quantities of chuck, for they fddled aud
danced, were married and given in marriage,
drank of corn juice and did many other
things dono in civitized communities.
The Democrats of this precinct held u
meeting last Saturday and organized Dem.
ocratic Club. Some fifty names were enroll
cd. Speeches were made by G. B. Bellinger
and John Burnett, urging the necessity Of a
thorough organization in order to preserve
constitutional liberty in our country and
maintain tho Union in its whole constitution
al vigor with the dignity and equality or the
States unimpaired. The Club meets again
on the sth of January, when we expect tc
have good time.
The Democracy ia this section are fully
alive TO the Importance Of the next election,
and will make gallant fight. We have in
seribed upon our banner, as tho watchword
in the coming struggle, "The Constitution
and the equality of the States these are the
symbols Of everlasting Union" and in thir
sign we conquer. l.. T.

Insure that every man who has 4 vote shall have
a newspaper, and all Is safe foT lsGs. Shall it be
done ?-Eras,iHer.
This Is what should be- bat we must first teach
all the electors to read. OF what use would an
Appeal or Examiner be in the hands Of large
percentage ofDcmocratic Voters !-Harysstus Ap-
peal.
This thing of charging that "a large
percentage of" Democrats cannot
read, and that therefore they are not
properly qualified to vote, comes with
an exceedingly bad grace from the
appeal, considering that the editor
advocates the enfranchisement Of the
stupid, boorish, ignorant negroes of
the South, not one IN a hundred of
whom can read, and scores of whom
scarcely have sense enough to tell
their right hand from their left. In
the 4AppedPs estimation such people
can govern, not only themselves, but
the the whites of their section whom
Congress has disfranchised. There
may be some Democrats who cannot
read ; but the percentage is not great
er than it is among the Mongrels.-
When the Mongrel party claims all
the decency, and all the morality, and
all the education of the country, they
only exhibit their inherent mcanness
and knavery in a new aspect.
