After the frequent scurrileus attacks

late canvass, l Ind reason to hope I.
would be slowed 10 snioy tbs triunphs
of the greOnback principles in gallant
cid Linn unnolested. But it appears
there is a certain shyster of the DenO.
cratic field who is dissatisfied with lis
present notoriety, and surprised at the
multitude 81 devoted greenbaeksa that
could not BE intinidated, kribea or
bought He feigns te make as hslisve
that he Is one Of that noble band Of pa
triOts that is battling fer principle, aad
sxempliHes his devotion to the ca'lse BY
iAitating the deeds Of that dastardly
soldier that hid himself away during
the battle, bat when it was ever be
rushed oat aMoAg the slAin, plunging
his sabre into the fallen as furieas
rata to prove his essrage and fsalty.
From the way this Halaey hero sxults
over his work he iInaginss that he has
given me = fatal thrust. Hear hiEn !:
DIR. Hendrix, the Democratic ssrs-
head, gsing over the county telling false
hoods about the record Of the last Leg
islature, and, at tho same time, sserstly
caueusing to sell out to the Republi
cans" Il will be observed that while
this bogus ''greensackerP gives my naale
to the public and holds me up as one
Of his slain trophies, he is careful to
conceal his swn naEe, but seizss upon
a name that implies honor and respect
nbility, instead of the one that law aud
principle attaches to him.
I desery the ear-matks of this nueh-
dsmesticated animal, bat demand sf
him his true name, that the people may
truly estimate the value sf bis hide 1t
is a hstle singular that this fellow
should appropriate ''sreenhacksr" for
his nsm de plume, the same having
been used by nae fer many nsnths past
in the cslamns Of this paper to demon
strats the financial theory of the green
back party. ] new say te this bastard
''sreehbaoker," that whenever Ia says
that at any tins proposed ITO sell cut
to the Republicans" he tells a bare and
malicious lie, and ! hers and now brand
him as sneaking, cOwardly, contempt
bic falsi6sr. The man that will tell =
Deliberate lie to rob isfsllow maA sf \
EoOd name and defaras his character,
will steal The nan that will steal a
name will steal anything else if BE is
surs he will net be caught, SO l cautisn
the COED people of Halsey to keep a
sharp lockout fer this bogus green
hacker" Allow Re TO further say that
all of the proposition to "sell out' thal
1 know anything of, comes from the
Demseratis party. This censorisus
''greenbacker" Hakes charges sf prsfdy
against the Republicans, aAd declares
that Ereenbackers with Democratic an
tecedsnts wers sEaRefully sold cut Of
this l know but little, and care less, for
l have but little respect for the man,
let him be Republican or Democrat,
Who votes IN obedisnce to the sting Of
party lash. Il Is the proudest ssoch in
the history of my political life TO know
that there is between feur and i've
hundred independent, nshle frceHsn in
Linn county, who stand away absve
and beysRd the reach Of party prejudiee
and viii vote, live sad die in the de-
fsAse of their principles. This spurious
"gresnbacker" seeks TO make the in
preston that be voted the gresnback
ticket and constitutes one of the mum.
Der that was deluded ints that "treach-
ereus Political snare, and was ''sold
eat" by the Republicans. Poor fellow!
He says, "let us gs back to the Assse
of our fathers, return to the COED o.d
Democratic fold" Now, NY pretended
vhilon ''greenbscker," this little piece
of ssehistry is entirely too transparent
for sensible people to bslisve, s'i3 it is
too lev and contsmptible for any eas to
practice, except such as stab "a the
dark, or apprspriate false Ramss to give
vent to their spleen that they dars not
de oyee tksir owa signature.
