"Ohio Adventurcr aud Bond Thief"

outrages upon tho peaceablo white
citizs ns of s. G. Robber Killer
Scott, has so disgraoed the ofioe he
occupies that he finds but few who
nre willin., to take him by the hand
aud they (who are bought for a mere
meas of porridge,) are uuequalled even
among the famed brigands of Italy.
A few more military orders, a few
more assessments, and tho worthless,
treacherous i'm nbecile, who has welded
tho soepter Of power, aud who has
held tho key Of tho vault of the State
Treasury ever since his ascent to the
Govcroorship, and who now has his
paws In tho pockets of the populace Of
S. c., cannot find q oorporal's guard
willing to enfo.ce his diabolioal
aohemes-unless it be a detail from
"Smart's Artillery l venture tho
assertion thnt he can't get one among
the survivors Of the old "Boyce
Guards" who figured SO conspicuously
during the late s'unpl I
can never grow weary of writing and
speaking Of the rascality of Grant,
Scott Il Co. Their mean acts should
be promulgated throughout tho land,
md held up before the people from
Tho rising Of the sun to the going
down thereof. When its Rrst beams
gild the mountain tops, then should
we begin, and not through tho day
should We cease to arraign them be
fore an outraged people. They and
their satellites are only worthy the
fate Of enc"ies to honesty aud civil
liberty, and tho people should hold
thcm in disgust as long as life lasts.
Nor should it stop here. Animated
by desire to rid ourselves of these
sappers, and encouraged BY the re
cent "split-ups" in their party, lot US
firmly plant ourselves upon Liberal
Republican principles, and success
fully wage war upon the destroyers Of
our liberties. In local as we'll as gen.
eral elections should we continue to
practice that vigilance which is essen.
tial to success. Let the farmer re-
member that the present sacrifice Of
his hard earnings is brought about by
high taxes, and these taxes are impos.
ed BY Scott and his motley crow. Let
1t be borne in mind that at any hour,
peaceable, innocent citizens may be
arrested by Philippians, nrraigned be-
fore bigots aud tried for their lives.
That to meet the expenses thus in
Cured, their farms, their stores, their
residences arc Ill hold liable to seiz.
ure. This is stern reality, and
since such is the case can see no ey.
cuse on the part of any individual for
inaction, who respects even the law of
preservation. There can be no
safety to person and property SO long
as the Radical party controls the af-
fairs Of your State. Until there is q
general wiping out Of obnoxious laws,
gotten up by SCOTT and passed by the
Legislature, you cannot enjoy securi
d ty. And not until peace, justice and
liberty prcvailo from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, can America realize tho
prosperity she deserves. Let us FIJI
tho measure of her greatness while
It is yet in our power to act. Salu'
