MitehclI's Letter.

Editor Register; AS long as the cry,
that our present State Constitution
was framed in the interest Of lawyers,
was confined to men of perceptible
and known ignorance upon the sub.
iect, i! received no attention from
those who have sufficient Of common
sense to know better; but when one
who claims for himself the ability and
qualifications to discharge the duties
of Clerk of the County Court can, in
a letter to the good people of the
county, assert that our present Con-
stitution was framed in the interests
of lawyers, while those of the laborer
were wholly neglected, it is time to
inform the would be Clerk, that the
people of Mason County, are general
ly of too much sense to be gulled by
such idiotic palaver, The interests
of lawyersl Why it is actually toe
simple to talk about. The thickest
headed darkey in Mason County
knows better, if he can read at all.
Now if Mr.. Mitchell has any hopes
of election at all, it would be better
for him to keep such manifestation
of his ignorance from before the PEG
pie.
So far from the County Court being
lin the interests of lawyers, for The
young aspirant's benefit, it will be
well to say that it has become thu
general practice in this county tore
move cases, ofany Importance, when
instituted in the County Court, t.
the Circuit Court for a more speedy
trial, and to avoid the necessity o
appeal.
Inc tflal OF causes III inc SouHVy
Court is even more vexatious to law
ycrs than clients and it is the gross
est nonsense for Mr.. Mitchell or any
one else to assert the contrary.
Now 1 would, in all candor, inquire
of the young candidate, in what par
ticular, the Constitution ofthis State
was framed in the interests of law
yers? will wager a new hat that he
can not give an intelligent answer
unless he admits that such assertions
as that in his letter, are but little su
pcrior to the chatter Of fools.

The old Democratic party has stood
the assaults of all its enomies for
many years, and to day it proudly
rears its head and points to its long
and honorable career as the party
that has built up this government to
its present greatness; as the party
that has protected and fosterod the
lives, liberties and happiness of all
the people Of this country, without
regard to where born; that has made
us an honored nation among the M.
tions of the world, It has stood the
assaults of its opponents, and it can
stand the assaults Of a few petty
soreheads wherever found. The
masses of tho party are generally cor
rect, and when they stand by their
principles and repudiatO upstairs
and dead beats, they mean it, and aid
in preserving intact and uncorrupt-
ed the bright escutcheon of our old,
tried and true party.
