| the Inquirer, some lying remarks made
| by its editor in reference to one of our
agents who is now canyassing your
4 county, not in the interest of the Dem
ocratic Party, but of humanity. lie
says first this agent is New England
er, which would beno crime, (aithough
it is not true) except that he was
member of the Radical Party. We
are astonished at the impudence of
this editor to cast reflections upon
section of country from which emanate
all the ideas of Radicalism and from
which he and all such silly mongrel
editors receive their political instruc-
| tions.
He says further that "the agent,
though an entire stranger in the COM
munity, is thoroughly posted as to the
whereabouts of every disciple of the
lost cause" and can readily distinguish
the object of his search from Radi-
cal Republican, and this editor seems
astonished at this fact. We would
Just say here that we would not en-
plov a man to work for us, who we
thought could not readily distinguish
an honest man and Democrat from the
editor of the mongrel sheet of Bed
ford. This dirty mongrel, whose patri-
otism was first strong enough to give
him rheumatism of the hip joint, which
prevented his shouldering a musket
and marching to the front, as he no
doubt was anxious to do, seems to be
greatly disturbed for fear too many OF
the honest people of Bedford, who are
anxious to read truth, may patronize
our agent, and, therefore, sounds the
alarm, by calling their attention to the
conduct of an eastern gent, who some
time since, it is represented, sWindled
thegood people of your county, and who
las we are informed on good authorl-
ityl was full blooded Black Republi-
can, and, therefore, had just honor
enough to take advantage of the people.
He further calls our agent 'the Negro
Supremacy book man., forgetting the
fact that Radicals like himself alone
advocate the supremacy OF the
Black Race, whilst Democrats believe
in the superiority of the Caucasian over
all other races and especially over the
Negro Race and for this reason, ad-
vocate Just what our book advocates,
white supremacy and Negro subordi-
nation. OF course, we do not contend
that some niQGerS are not just as intel
Iigent, and many of them more hon
orable, than this Radical editor
He says further that our agent was
defrauding the government by ''doing
business without license" Our agent
supposed that he was not liable to take
out license, and telegraphed US on this
point. We are quite sure he is honest,
even if he does not fully understand
all the requirements of the Abolition
revenue swindle. We presume that
the $1,000 paid by our man, goes to-
wards paying off the 81, 100000 given
to our Radical Representatives in con-
gress for their votes and influence in
making the Alaska appropriation, and
toward hundreds of other items, equal
ly villainous, perpetrated by our Rad
ical congress and which have swelled
the debt 10 its enormous size.
But even if our agent did try tc
swindle the government, he did nc
more than this same Radical editor
who cheated the government out OF his
loyal services, which were needed in
the front, during the war, by limping
along the streets of Bedford, making
the citizens believe that he was afflic
ted with Chronic Rheumatism, and he
did no more than Radical Bondholders
who coined all their money out Of the
blood and sufferings of the people, and
by their fraud and villainy helped
heap up this enormous debt, and now
have the brazen impudence to exact
an eXOrbitant interest on their bonds
while they sit carelessly looking on
and not paying one cent toward light
ening the burden Of an oppressed peo'
pie.
This editor further states that the
Democrats of Bedford county have re-
allied that their doctrines are false, by
the ignominious defeat of their candi'
dates; he means, of course, because the
Radical Party polled few more votes
through fraud, than the Democratic
Party polled. This same argument, i
argument it is, proves that the teach
ings of the Bible are false, because the
great majority of the people, including
this Radical editor and our Radical
congress serve the Devil instead o.
worshiping God.
We wish further to inform this
small editor for such we have Away:
considered him to be- that the people
of Bedford county don't seem at al
likely to take his advice, as our agents
reports show, either because they don't
. read his paper, or if they ydo because they
= can haveno confidence in anyadvicegiv
: en- by Radical Republican, who will
l shirk duty by feigning Rheumatism
, knowing full well that men who have
e done so much to overthrow the consti
r tuition of their country, and to destroy
: and trample On the rights and libertie.
I of the people, are not safe advisors un
| der any circumstances.
Please, Mr. Radical Editor, give IL
another pIff in your able paper; some
: of your friends are already patronizins
e our agent, and many more will seef
r democratic Literature" in less thar
