BRowx County, March 81, 1869.
Mn. EorroK:-l wish to say onlt few
words to the voters Of Brown County, Through
the columns of your Loyal paper.) in answer
to little squirt in the Brown County Sentinel
Of March 25th, signed Republican. y
@Repubiican" denouncesA me a. . political
svindver. fThis is mild, indeed.) Why,
have been called dirty Abolitionist. at DIFF
ferent times. during the past twenty years. and
even threatened with tar and feathers, at di'
vers times and places, and kept pretty cool all
the time.
But, there is evidently skunk in wood
chuck,s hole. This same Republican" skunk
has been playing the little game Of pig and
puppy, and, for tine, succeeded very well.
So successful, indeed, was he in hoodwinking
the people of this District. that, with their
consent, be crept into the Legislature Of '6s,
and represen,ed-E. Bierer.
The great misfortune of this mans life, was
being chosen a Lincoln Elector in Pennsylva.
mia, in 1864. He imagines tha. it compen-
safes for any degree of political apoetasy, and
entities him still to rank as good Republi.
can His whole walk, conversation, and in1u-
ence, have been such as to delight and encour
age the most iuveterate Copperhead Demo-
Gratis; but when upbraided for his treacherous
course, his crushing Iejoinder is: Sir, was
Lincoln State Elector in Pennsylvania, and
you cannot doubt Lincoln's Republ:canism"
Had that old blockhead, Judas Iscariot, only
thought Of adopting similar line of defence,
he might have descended to Us in history with
the reputation of an incorruptible Disciple.
Republican" says tha: "Bowers forget
that he was sent to Topeka to represent Brown
County" Well. now, may be didn't repre-
sent such Republicans as he. believe am
the Represe ntative of liberaLminded, pro-
gressive, and phianthropc people; and not oi
few aristocrats, old slave dealers, (who have
not repented,) and narrow minded things, iip
the shape Of men, who believe that the black
man has no rights that a white man is bound
to respect. Again: represent those who do
their work in the broad sunlight; and not those
who talk Equal Rights in the day time, and at
midnight hours go arm in-arm with Rebels anG
Democrats. l have tried, in my weakness. to
faithfully represent those who are faithful; and
l thank God that have been counted worthy
to do so-ever willing to account to Him who
searches the hearts of all men. ausz
Republican" is evidently alarmed abou,
the "nigger mixing in our public Schools"
guess he's like another old woman we had in
our School District, who said, "It won't hurt
them if they never 60 to school" If "Re.
publican" wishes to stand in the way of equal
educational advantages, let him come to School
District No 8, and try it on.
Republican seems to feel very sore over
the ratification of the 18th Amendment. Poor
fellow. pity him. Yet, there are whole fl
miles in the same fix. They are, gererally,
those who used to crack their slave-w..ips over
our heads, threatt hing violence, should we
even attempt to give cup of cold water or a
bit Of bread to Christ's little ones, as they
journeyed North, to the Promised Land.
Republican" do you know that those good
old DemocIatic days have passed away7
