Too Bad

Too Bad.
A few days ago, Mr.. NJ. Tapley, internel
revenue assessor for this district, after having
assured some of the Rumpites in this vicinity,
that purely national flag with all the stars
upon 1t could be raised with perfect safety in
this community, proceeded to put up his many
stared banner, at Z linburg, to prove the
ruth of his assertion in vindication of our
people, who have been malgned and SLAM
dered so much by these scalawag aud carpet
bag Rumpites. But, alas, poor 1orick N }
sooner had the shades Of night fallen around
than some dtfamer of too oft sandered peo-
pie, cut away the halyards and fixtures of
this fag thereby dsproving the assertion
which Mr.. Tapley had made. Now, the ques-
ton is naturally asked, who cut those ropes
&c? Certainly not the Woodstock, and hardly
the Edinburg boys; for they would appear
very stupid indeed to commit an act which
would reflect upon their own good sense and
the honesty of their friends. Considering the
manner in which this flag raised, it ap-
pears more than probable that miscreant
carpet Dagger or scalawager might have been
seen proving around Mr.. Tapley' flag pole,
