A TERROR TO EVIL DoBRS.

J. c. Shodgrass and NJ. Fuller, two
gentlemen residing in Harrisburg, who
went as delegates to the Alliance, be-
came so disgusted with the intolerance
and prescription that prevailed up to
noon Of the second day, that they sent
in their resignation as delegates from
Harrisburg, and returned home.
When the secession element were max
ing up their list of disorganizers, they
included the names OF these gentlemen,
with number Of other good, staunch,
Temperance men, who resigned for the
same reason, in their list of secession
lists. As these gentlemen had returned
to their homes, they could not be pres
ent when their names were read TO con-
tradict the falsehood, as were Newsom,
Leland and many others who had been
caught in the same trap unawares, and
their names were published as seceders
from the Union to the Confederacy
But Mr.. Snodgrass is not to be misrep-
resented with impuuity. Hear him:

Of the NEW NORTHWEST. J. c. SSoDGRAss.
Well, we are no "menacing terror to
the Alliance since it has been sifted OF
its disOrganizing element. We confess
that we have for many years been a
terror to evil doers, and we hope we
always shall be such. The gentlemen
whose names appear above are well
known Woman Suffrage Temperance
men, who are not afraid of their record.
aud We are proud TO copy the letter Of
Mr.. SnOdgrass, "menacing terror and
all. But what saith the W'OOdca and
his right and left BOUers! Seriously,
we look for the DdWlle of brighter day
when the better class of men who have
been inveigled into a bogus Confederacy
will Wright about face, and when they
see another temperance meeting in
danger of gag law and unconstitutional
ity, we hope they will not neglect 10
