The Gdzette, unable to make any
fight on principle in the ''Reform Can
vass," last week, descends to the level
of contemplate personalities and indi-
Gates its purpose TO maintain it during
the canvass. Such course in our Opin-
ion is never successful in accomplishing
the objects desired, and must be dis
tasteful to all goad tit;zeais Of either
kparty. We are unwilling 20 descend TO
this meanness, and9shaH not do SO. Ii
our success in any political canyassider
pends, on slahsiers and personal abuse
of our opponents, if it is necessary in
order to succeed that we shall defame
the characters Of good citizens by lying
upon them and calling them "black-
guardsn and indecent associates y be-
cause they happen to be candidates on
the Democratic ticket, we prefer not to
lsneeeed.s We are willing to say the best
we know of the candidates on either of
the three tickets in the field, and if any
one should seek through the columns OF
''the Chroniclen to give publicity to a
personal SANDER of any of them we
hope we shall have the courage to re-
fuse them that privilege.
Now what is the plain truth in regard
to the three candidates for Probate
Judge. 8 Mr.. Walton, Democratic can
Edidate, is a citizen of GAINESVILLE, and

the coward who hides under the name
Of "a Grant Republican" to say that
Capt. Danford attributed his defeat two
years ago when he and Poorman were
contesting the nomination for Congress
to tiIe Cd id Methodists. We are
authorized by Capt. Danford to say fhat
he did not use the expression attributed
tofiirn. We viii say further on our
own responsibility that while Col
Poorman lived here Capt. Danferd, al
though not a member Of the Methodist
Church, contributed more in proportion
to his means for the support of said
church than did Col. Poorman who
was Il member. The charge should
gain no credit whatever; as the sneak
who wrote it is too cowardly to assert
it over his own signature.

Indictment Of the Editor OF the
Gazette. bY Poornlan.

1t is said Of some men, that they get
50 much in the habit of lying that they
cannot tell the truth. This seems to be
the pitiabie condition OF, the editor of
the Gazette. ."-CHRoNICLE Sept. 30,
1859.
Plea OF Guilty, by Gazette.
"rhe brave Republican candidate for
Congress in this District wants TO ex-
taise himself for not meeting Col. Poor
man on the stump, by hiding behind an
expression said to have appeared in this
pa per some years ago about his being
blackguard. If this paper did make
this excuse it was because We knew that
no Democrat was willing TO encounter
him on the stump, and we had to get
cut of the scrape us best We could. p
Gdzette Sept. II, 1872.
.Th1 above, from the st. Clairsvilie
Gazste of last week, is another instance
OF the unmanly men, and unprincipied
|trickery which the Reform Canvass"
has made necessary on the part of those
Democrats who support the SO called
Liberal movement. The Gazette in
substance says, that if is true that when
Col. Poorinan challenged the Demo-
cratic orators of Belmont County to
meet him on the stump, he published
him as a blackguard that no decent
man would debate with, and now being
obliged to support him as a candidate
for Congress, he says he "knew that
there was no Democrat OF sufficient
liability to cope with him and had to get
out of, the scrape as. best he could"
We venture to say tkat you will not
find in the whole ringe of political
controversy during the last ten years a
confession SO humiliating.
The Gazette has claimed heretofore to
keep up at heart show of truth and
candor. How can those who have re-
tanned dtheirconiidence in it as a reliable
newspaper have faith in it now, when
it deliberately declares that in order ..to
gel out Of a scrape" it willfulIy. lied,
sought to destroy the private character
of a tellow-citizen by base SANDER. ~
If a witness on the stand would SO
lstuliify himself the Court would prompt
ly tell the jury that he was utterly un-
worthy Of credit and that his testimony
was to be entirely disregarded. -
