passion and coarse, vulgar utterance
it is certainly remarkable produ
ton. We are willing that it shoul
go before the public together wit
our article which called it out. w
fear no loss from an honest compar
son. The reverend gentleman wa
! stung more by our reference to hi
political record than by any fear 0
being called az apologist for the HiE

All that we stated regardingihis pc
litical status during the war can b
sustained by scores of as good men a
there are in Linn county, yet in hi
reckless and inconsiderate haste to Sc
himself right before the corrupt ring
in whose tolls he is, he says:
"All that Mr.. Brown has said regarding m,
status during the war Is false" 1ff
Now, we said that Mr. Geary re-
fused to act as Chaplain at a "Union
meeting" at Brownsville, for political
reasons. Is not this true? We said
that he never claimed to be a Repub-

crats--prominent and honorable men
at least one Of whom now resides
in this city, and chat he spoke approv-
ingly of the Virginia and Kentucky
Resolutions of 1850 which were
then the chief plank in the Democrat
ic platform. Can the gentleman sue
cessfully deny this? Before he con
troverts these statements successfully
ne will be required TO impeach the

who were Republicans when the rev

Breckenridge and Lane for the Presi.

ect us materially whether he went as

'arenthetically, however, that estab.

In denying that he endorses polyga-

ill not warrant. II is well known,

igamous intercourse with his present
life, In Oregon, for five years; and

ldorses his conduct ever since he
'ok up his residence in Oregon, - ,
IRAN Smith distinctly stated, in I
