To T. W., GnSErIso.-Wo have re-
4 ccived communication from one whom,
1 NC have every reason to believe is true
friend Of ours. but who finds good deal
Of fault with US 10 regard to our politics
and our style Of conducting a newspaper
His objections to our course he classes as
follows:
1. You are Democrat. if
9. You speak disrespectfully Of your
Opponents.
8. You lack dignity in politics.
TO all Of these charges we propose tc
answer briefly; for to many Of our read
ers in this State dissertation on sucl
subjcc.s would be void Of interest. W.
reply to them singly:
1. We arc Democrat; and are proud
indeed that We are known and recognized
o. such. When VIC shouldcred our mus.

than the sutjugation and degradation Of
our race; we had no thought that the
cry Of Union" meant the overthrow o.
constitutional government; but we suffered
for The Unin as II lras! Since
Nc find that disunion was really the Oh
jcct Of the party who went like a thief in
The night or u wolf in sleeps clothing. we
offer what Of ability we possess our vote
and il needs be, the willing strength
Of eur good right arm, to defeat it.

The Devil with fro was the only way Of
defeating him p; and although We may not
here have the Devil himself to fight, We
question whether his Satanic Majesty has
more experienced agents on earth than
Dan Farnsworth and his associates. To
speak respectfully Of such men would
BE- a sin against God aud the *hole hui
man family who set up even the smallest
. claims 10 honesty. ..r.- ..

10 language which they cannot under
1stand. Therefore, when We are con,
ptraned to write at our political oppo'
nents, we endeayor as fat as possible tt
do SO in terms that are familiar to them
The slang vocabulary Of professional
thieves is more fully understood in The
present "legislature' Of West Firginif
than the code Of claws" by whicl, we are
governed. when The present Presiden
of the Senate is openly charged will
