BRADY HEARD FROM.

TRouTyiLLE, August %, 1850,
Mn. EpiroR / see by communication under
date Of July GOTH 10 the Rdftsman's = Journal that
some lying Republican Ass-under the singna
ture of"Jim" has rdiculed the Democrats OF this
place by misrepresentation purporting TO DO the
proceedings Of a meeting held by them for the
Organization Of Hancock and English Club,
which they did with good success. That is why
they lament through the "Draying Ass jim"
/ do not deem It necessary to use time and
space to refute this ASS lamentations, from the
fact that the reputation Of the Democracy Of this
place and surrounding country Is too well known,
ior even the most radical Republican to believe
that we could raise no more than hali-a dozen
men to organize a Hancock and English Club
Hence send you this for publication not only TO.
refute the statement made by this lying black
guard. but to let the public know what we are
doing that so gteyes the two or three Republi-
cans Of this village, and in yindieaton OF the
rights Of the Club.
According to arrangements made number OF
Democrats and former Republicans (but with us),
Of the townships Of Brady and Bell, in Clearfeld
county, and Henderson the Banner Democratic
township 10 Jefferson county, met 10 Troutyle
for the purpose of organizing a Hancock and
English Club, Of which Captain William kopp,
formerly an ardent Republican, but now an oat-
spoken Hancock Democrat was one Of the prime
for membership were solicited.
And now We will sec how this falsifer "Jim"
counts, when he says "there assembled half.a.
dozen men as many more boys" corresponds with
the records Of the meeting, there were then en-
rolled sixty names all Of which were voters, since
which time names have been added to swell the
number TO almost one hundred.
In connection with the above Captain Kopp
has organized Marching Club, which after II is
thoroughly drilled aud equipped will make dis
play that will make the "knee quake" Of the
coioardly sneak, who was prowling around the
house during the Getting TO gather reports to
manufacture misrepresentatons-lik those Of
"Belshazzar of Old." The speech Of Captain
Ropp as reported by this blAckguard is nothing
but manufactured lies, conceived by one Of the
imps Of the "father Of lies" his own writing be-
trays his meanness in ridiculing fellow man for
not speaking the English language correctly,
when his own eoWardly meanness would not per-
nit him to do as well In public as did Captain
Kopp, who made a clear statement as to why he
left the Republican ranks and is now enthusiast
cllly supporting the Democratic nominees H.
sehoch, Esq, addressed the meeting, urging the
Democrats to organize and present a solid 'front.'
and victory would be theirs.
As to ridiculc he tries TO place upon me. l
would simply say to the shallow Drained "non-
your explosions do not contain
force enough to knock the bubbleof alittle boys
pipe hence l do not fear the shooting Of Il at
me. / will do you no harm, you may still psram-
bulate the streets Of Troutyile living ghost Of
mennness, looking as IL resurrected by and filled
with the spirit Of tina. arch enemy Of mankind,
Of whom 1t is said, that he was kicked out Of the
upper sanctuary for just such work as you have
taken upon yourself in tho article you wrote. |
know you too we'll to waste any further time upon
you. And Captain Kopp and !, viii notwith
standing your braying and wagging of ears, vote
for Hancock and English
In conclusion will say that for the three Dem
oerats he counts for Garfield, can already count
sir Republican members Of this Club who will
vote for General Hancock. "And Hancock will
be the next President"
