Dangers TO society Threatened By the
Dissemination OF Certain Political
Teaehings,

MARTINS FERRY, Oct Sd, 1878,
Editors Inteliierneer.
Can It be that the teachings otthe Green
back and Democratic press and stump
orators, disseminating, as many Of them
do, asrarian and communistic doctrines
and schemes, are to continue poisoning
the minds OF men in this great country
until we are all carried irresistibly into
anarchy, revolution and war.
These charges OF fraud and usurpation
in the Presidency, and Of the imperial de-
signs of Grant in 1850, are bad enough, but
lthis thing Of arraying the poor against the
rich, the labOrer against the capitalist, the
Ignorant against the intelligent, under the
lstigma,izing cry OF bloated bonholders, OF
money sharks, OF grasping manufacturers,
ext0rtionist bankers, selfish business
mel, and unsympathetic professional men,
ia simply anarchical in its tendency. II
every man who possesses any capital or
property is to be arraigned by these polit..
tfcaI' I'demagogues as viper. whose head
should be crushed or neck broken, and
whose property should be either torcibly
taken and divided among the idle and
vicious, or else be burned up before his
eyes, what is TO come OF society!
How long can this Government endure
isuch influences and maintain the peace
and safety OF It's citizens? How long will
| it be- until rape and murder, pillage and
arson will terrorizc and conyulse this
whole land, even to anarchy and revolu'
ton?
Why, Messrs. Editors, as q legitimate
sequence OF such doctrines and teachings,
this worse than demons work Is now
spreading all over the nation, and 1t seems
Tint unless these political monsters can
dominate this Government they are pre-
pared to desolate the country with hre
and sword. "By the ballot or BY the bull
let" is their, battle cry:
The intelligent men in the ranks oil these
parties may not design to do this, but II
must follow their persistent teachings as
certain as that spark will explode in
magazine IL itonly be applied.
For example, on Tuesday, Oct. LIST, 1873

that the farmers in this vicinity should
have their valuable barns and crops con
sumed By the torch Of the ineendiary.
On last night the valuable barns o

implements, were set fire to and burned q. /,
