Before replying to the several counts Of
this indictmentwe wish to say that Tue
DsxoeRAT'sobjectiv pointis radiealism-
and that wo do moi seek. nor will We now
continue quarrel with our brethren of
the Press who profess tho same political
views as ourself. It is enough to know
that we have never avoided q controversy
when editorial quarrels were 'in order
and NC wish to put an end to this one
for the reason that we desire unity, har.
mopy and good.feeling in our ranks.
After the battle is over and tho victory
won, We will cheerfully measure sword.
with the Regulator. or any other paper Of
responsibility whose editor may throw
down the gauntlet. AT present We deem
it our duty, as Democrat from prinei.
pie, to work only for the good Of OUT
party, and the sreediest means Of en-.
franchisipg our oppressed fellow-citizeps.
Now as to the "counts:"
lst. We assert sgain. from our OWE
personal knowledge Of The views Of on,
people, that Mr.. Davis is not the choic.
Of the Democracy Of this county for Con.
gress nor was bis course in the Lcgisln.
ture endorsed BY them. We, speak By
authority for Lewis eounty-pot for th.
ring" which the Regulator represents:
End. Our reply Of last week wss'uo
! tho study Of . moment-our thoughts be
ing confined to matters Of higher impor
sasea than creating or urging "fuss il
the family" ata tims when all goot
Democrats should be at work tearing
away the pillars which support the ro..er
edifce Of radicalism.

the Regulator editor, in which he endea.

Southern people. We're it not for such
"carpct-baggers" as ourself. Lewis coun.

be good Democrat, will not wantonly
insult the men who have always been The

5th. Tnr DEMocnAr is not . "child o.

in attempting to create the impression
