would not De noticed by w ainut If It
was not for the astonishing denials made;
and for the beautiful position the Green
field representative has placed himself.
l therefore ask place in the Journal, to
notice his article. The first thing
Walnut is branded with is using the
word true, in connection with the word
Democrat, which he says is not in the
Dispatch. cannot say whether it is
or not, as the paper is not in my pos
session at this time. But, L will say
that it is an honorable title which l
was generous enough TO give them. /
ask the public if this is not the first in
stance that was ever known, that a
man objected to associate the word
true, with the name of his party?
There certainly is game, in that remark,
but cannot shoot at all the game that
is in sight Just now, so l will pass on.
The colored family, referred to in Wal
nut, (not knowing the way they came
into said neighborhood) by inquiry l
am reliably informed, they were not
moved by any citizen of that township,
he came into said neighborhood on his
road from North Carolina, was per-
mitted to stop as tenant. But by the
way this family was but slightly col
ored, nevertheless, they had reserved
seats at church; no person occupied
seats with them unless they so desired.
If Democracy chose seats with them (if
the negro did not object) I do not sup
pose they would have been denied the
privilege. But people would have
thought then, as they do now, that
birds of a feather flock together Take
notice that our Greenfield representa-
tive is straining wonderfully at gnat,
but you will see he can swallow camel
with a looseness. l wish here to state
that the Baptist Church, nor no mem
Der of the same, has had anything to do
with the communication from Walnut
But Churches, Temperance, and Intel
ligence, are death knells to Democra-
cy. That accounts for their persecu-
ton. 1 am glad the Greenfield repre-
sentative referred to certain lawsuit,
between loyal white, and negro.
Now his personal influence with the
darkey, and advice to the same, and the
course he took in that difficulty, it is suf-
ficent to say; that gentlemen of color,
may receive legal advice by calling on
Franklin Mcdaniel. Further, the Gal
liza Furnace Co. Oh! how wickedly
they are opposing his wishes, and re
fined delicate feelings, by placing the
negro SO near him. Oh! how heartfelt
and poignant are the pains, that vex
his soul. What a beautiful Illustration
of his deep sorrow was given, when he
went to Ky, and brought negro home
with him, thus increasing the number

his negro may have looked well, but I

negro? Now Walnut is responsible for
the article in the JOURNAL. l take
nothing back; you said that l SAID the
leading Democrat visited the colored
school, said no such thing, l said it
was so said, 1 say so yet, and to
strengthen that l now say l believe it
was so believed.
Further, you deny negro and demo-
cratic white children playing together
on said creek; which l did not say, but
it was just inference. Now if no per-
son can be found that will say they
have seem negro and white children
together on said creek, Walnut will
take the lie. Still further, if there is
not other things equally sociable, or
even more so, that can be proved I will
take the lie. Now as l have not per-
sonated any one in this article, only
those who have made public property
of themselves, l will withhold the
names of certain Democrats. But,
when Campcreek democracy says any
thing about negro equality they are
their own shame, and by
persisting in the same they may be
personated, and acts connected with
them that will exceed anything, but
Democracy. The best thing they can
do is to have their representative dis
cuss the bond question, in his next ar
ticle. Now about signing the name, l
will say it is not necessary to have
or the presence of the editor
to write for the JOURNAL in Walnut. |
want TO know if that was the way the
black sheep business commenced?
which was cool calculating uncalled
for lie, and SANDER. Now Walnut does
not ask for the name of the author of
that Infamous article, but if he can tell
where that flock of black lambs came
from which his Democratic brother
David was herding the past summer,
after saying there was no black sheep,
Walnut is still anxious to hear.
Walnut does not propose to answer an
other article where known facts are de-
MED, it is useless to debate with that
kind of a man. Neither does Walnut
propose stating falsehoods, and if he
did it is well known fact, when it
comes to lying, Democracy wears the
horns. A word to Mr.. Morehead, and
| am done, if he is in bad health politi-
cally, (which no doubt he is by this
time, a trip down to Tennessee to See
his colored Democratic brother, Joe
Williams, and converse with him about
the New York convention, and his
prospect of Cabinet Office, should
Seymour be elected, might do him
good, if not, one of our county papers
says Campcreek is healthy place.
