WHAT THE CUMBERLAND TINES SAWS.
In commenting on the murder the Cumber-
1 land Times says Of the article which provoked
| il: This article refers 70 Mr.. Horace Resley.
at present a candidate for the Office Of clerk OF
| the circuit court, no attempt will be made 10
| deny. That IL contains anything Hbelous OF
| untruthful, will be as readily denied. But
4 whether il does OF does not, the cause of no
| just or right by the hand Of the assassin. Aud
NJ in this land, where the liberty of the press Is
| claimed as the bulwark OF our freedom, the
editCr OF journal is TO be shot down for legiti-
| mately crlucizing the official conduct of a pub
lie oficeholder then, indeed, II personal liberty
| mockery, and the freedom Of the press a sha N
| and a cheat. We cannot close this article
| without giving vent TO some OF the feelings
| which an outraged community displays at this
cowsrdly and infamous assassination of brave
| and fearless gentleman. It may have been the
| work of a cool and deliberate conspiracy, or il
| may have been simply the cOwardly deed Of a
| degraded and blOOdthirsty outlaw, hunting his
| victim 10 trap, and shooting him down In a
| moment Of Inconsistencies. This Is a matter
| TO be investigated hereafter Ao-aver AZ MIL
| fall in its intention; The mantle Of Lloyd L.
| Slsry Va rail- upon shoulders worthy TO veal
AZ, and the Tunes viii not be suerved one lot OF
title from its course by the fear of the pistol o.
