Editor Democratic En0uirer:

fond Of newspaper notoriety from
the weak effusions which, from time
to time,appear in the mullet headed
personal slang organ of the Radical
party of this county. Not satisfied
with their own private misery and
crime, they take another step to-
ward that pusilanimous and low
condition to which majority are
already consigned that of Public
Liars.
A verification of this statement
was exhibited at tn last term ofthe
Common Pleas Court Mt which some
Of them were in attendance. We
do not refer to their fulschoods and
misrepresentation because they are
worthy the attentions of any one,
but simply to refutc their miserable
subterfuges and lies which some un-
informed person might be led to
believe and further to show the
hypocracy, cowardice, and villainy
of the most dcspicnble class of men
upon Gods Green Globe.
Taking the Niger as their basis,
to which all subjects must come and
from which all questions must di-
verge, we would say the elegant
affair mentioned in the Record was
providentially all within the Radi-
cal circle, as the facts in the case
will explain, 0thello is undoubt-
cdly n Republican, also the very
learned individual who tied the knot;
the license beingissued by a Radical
Probate Judge. AS to the party who
procured said license, he has voted
the Republican ticket as often as
any other; also, has lately been a
member of the Presbyterian Church,
whose members thank their God
that no Democrat is permitted to
become one Of their select and sane.
titled circle. Hence we fail to SEQ
the Democratic circle. AS to the
political proclivities Of Dcsdemonia,
(the lady in question: we know not;
but from the best Radical authority
(if they are to believed) she has
been raised in Radical ruin and
shame, some of whom must have
been very 10th to give her up to
their brother Radical. AS tothc Flag
which she bore, they (the Rads) are
the only parties whose evidence
would be admissible as to the tex
turc OF the fabric; whether cotton
or striped linsey; blood-stained or
spotless; rs many veteran Radicals
have marched under said banner,
all Of whom would far rather enlist
under the folds of her ensign than
ever to be founo sustaining the flag
OF their common country.
The status of our township in re-
gard to visible admixture, is, accor.
ding to statistics, (not including the
lately cnfranchised) eleven Repub-
lican to seven Democratic voters
There have been four urintermarriages;
three colored gentlemen to whito
women. Two Of said gentlemen are
Republicans 10 one Democrat. One
white man, who also is q Rad, to a
colored lady. There lave been
three bastard children born of a Wis
ible admixturc, whose mothers
charged to Republican fathers; one
of whom was, if not now, a consis
tent member Of the above named
church. Another has flown the
country, leaving his dusky offspring
to grapple its way unprotected
through Radical ignorance. We
also have Radical families living in
the same house with Virginia con-
trabands. How is this for high,
with Radicals? We will adduce an
other instance that OF an Ex.Jus-
tice ofthe Peace, who laughs much
about Democrats and Negroes, but
always fails to make public the fact
that he carries his principles into
practice-having positively been
found IN bed with a regular rough,
Rhinoceros.skincd, thick-lipped
fiat -nosed, snaggled .toothed, strong
scented, bow-lcgged African. We
believe such men have sunk so low
in the depths Of human misery and
degradation, that the very maggots
that crawl over the carcass of a dead
dog would Indignantly spurn them.
Yet this Ex- Justice is the ablest
man among them; the truest index,
the best exponent of his party, hav-
ing been their chef counselor, their
legal adviser, and kept in Office for
a quarter Of a century, and even
