The Biddeford journal and MI. Lynch.

The Biddeford journal and MI. Lynch.
The Republicans of York County under
and wicked attempt upon the part of the
editor of the Union and Journal to vify and
traduce the gentleman who now and for the
last five years has represented this district in
Cor gress. Fortunately, they likewise under
stand the corrupt and unworthy motives
which inspire his cowardly and indecent at
tacks, and estimate them at their true impor-
tance. sometime ago we called attention to
the use made by that paper of certain cores
pondence between the agent of the machine
SHOP at Biddeford and Mr.. Lynch The pur-
pose OF the editor was to convey the impress
sion that Mr.. Lynch favored the admission OF
cotton machinery into Southern ports free OF
duty, and his treatment of him, in that mat
ter was so disineenuous and manifestly unfair
as TO disgust all fair minded men, The clti-
zens of Bid Ieford were perfectly satisfied with
Mr.. Lynch's position and statements, and
almost unanimous in their denunciation of
the wilfuly perverse insinuatons of the Jour-
nal. The Republicans almost without excep-
ton were deeply mortified and chagrined that
a paper sailing under Republican colors should
abuse It's influence by performances so dis
creditable TO respectable journalism. and an
prehensive lest its ungentlemany and grossly
personal illusions to Mr.. Lynch should seem
to have their sanction, a large number of rep
resentative men addressed the editor letter.
distinctly stating that his treatment of that
gentleman, was exceedingly distasteful to them
and so far as they knew to their party asso
ciates throughout the country.
Last week TIE Journal published a letter
from Hon. G. w. Buckley, Representative in
Congress from Alabama, the first part of
which, bearing upon Mr.. Lynch's position
upon the proposition to admit cotton ma.
chinery free of duty, we herewith Law before
our readers.

journal containing an article on Cotton Ma
chinery to which my attention is directed and
