people vii 80 i'll their wild attempts
to injure their ncighbors." In his
vain efforts to irnplicate us in Radi-
calism he catches at straws, and iubi.
lantly refers to our editorial cynnec-
ton with the Ciurion under L. G..
Andrews.
Ii the editor of the Dcm,crat
would take the trouble to exam
Inc our Democratic Club roll, he
would find the name of L. G.. An
drews signed in his own hand wiring,
when he came up in he presence OF
many witnesses, rcpudiate'i his party,
and cast his fortunes with the Demo
cracy. 1t will be remembered too
that in 10 he did effective work for
Hampton, carrying many votes for
us, and i'll rs he wore the red shirt,
working side by side with other
Democrats against the Radical
knaves. Besides this he purchased
the printing material which he turn
ed over to Mr.. Jas. S. Hcyward to
run Democratic paper, and laborcd
faithfully us printer in getting it out.
He therefore cannot be placed poll
tically i'll the same category with
Bolivcrand the rest Of the "5Lalwarts'
who have never repented, or turned
from the error of their ways. If we
are TO treat new converts in this way,
we don't see what will be the pros
pcct of increasing our ranks.
We therefore boldly aud defiantly
reasscrt our declaration, that, eve
have never edited for Radical and
never will"
But the editor Of the Democrat gocs
further. lie tries to make it appear
from the fact that the papers for the
printing material over the way we're
made directly from Webster to the
present proprietors Of the Demo
crat', that Andrews tenure was Of
doubtful nature. 1t was right shrewd-
ly put, and not thinking OF it before
knowing that Mr.. Hayward who cou,
Quoted the Turpuyer was too honor
able n man to conduct it under
doubtful ;cnure, we took the pains to
examine the records, and we find the
papers are ma !c between Mrs. II. NJ
Andrews and DR.. Webster, and that
the tenure, so far as We are able 10
judge, was just as gool rs that by
which the present proprietors Of the
Democrat now hold from d.. Web
ster. Of course US editor Of thr
Clarion we ha nothing t, d, with
the title, but this cunning attempt to
bring us i'll contact with another
Radical falls to the ground as com
pletely rs all the other wild rawlings
of this air-bea ting editor.
The last attempt of the editor 0 t
the Democrat is, to injure our bust
ness by publishing that "tle suit"
against the TINES sis still pending
and no legal disposition can be mad e
until the Court decides who owns it,"
Now the best evidence of our
neighbours disbelief in his owa
statement above quotel is is
action last January in seeking
to buy the TINES to consolidate
with the Democrat in order to
rosscss the whole field, and have but
one rapor i'll tie County. The whole
tru h Is, the so called suit against the
paper is all smoke, and never will
come to anything and, the attempt OF
the Democrat to make scare crow
out oft, is in perfect keeping ilh all
the rest of the boast ed charity Of
this sanity editor.
Ths public need have 10 fears, and
our ncighbors over the way may as
well moderate their rcjoicings on this
head. The TIMES is going ahead, and
there will be no interruption.
Nearly Il year Of our proprietorship
has passed, and we have every en-
couragcment for the future. Our
largely augmented subscription list is
the hest evidence Of the public ap-
proval of our conservative course.
