As a specimen Of reckless, wholesale |
lying, we think that the references |
made in the extract from letter In the
Savannah Morning Ne,rs, to letter
from one John w. Parr, which was pub
lished in the Binghampton Republican,
few weeks before the late election in
tha, State, will challenge comparison
with even the fabrications OF the imayi-
native Pinkstop.
Out of the whole cloth--wthout "apeg
to hang a doubt upon," this man has in
vented the most malignant ISLANDERS up
on entire communities, from whom he,
perhaps, received only kindness and gen.
erous hospitality.
But he knows the sectional aDimosty
of his readers, renders their credulity
reception of the vilest caiumnies against
Southerners, however improbable they
may be, and to affect the prejudice of
voters on the eve of an election, he draws
upon his imagination for his facts, and
spits his We mon upon an pnofiending
people.
How long, oh, Lord, how long.
