MIR. ED1roR:-We notice IN your
lost weeks issue a communicated y
from, this county, aigned By the twelve
apostles OF the sc -oslled heaven horn
principles" intended. we suppose, as
refutation to the charges made bv
the author of u letter You received
some time since; but in this their cf-
iofts nave been as futile as their party
Itself is failure. That cycrvtllinw
said by that writer is true can be cor,
roborntcd by the best men in this cou,,-
tty, and not by Radical hacks, cx-oflicc-
holders and disaflcctcd Democratic
oflice seekers, but by men whose un-
! swefving patriotism and unbcndinw
integrity make thcm command respect
wherever thcy are known.-Nor has
the aWhor OF that "dcmand" made a
| shglc cllort to show that any Of tho
Statements madcby your informant arc
ialse. Ii nc merely meant to ask the
lellency OF the public. WHY did he not
say so, and not make the general
tenor Of his letter an unlleard.of lon-
dation Of his immaculate and omni-
present McLano. Ifhe is the "pecrn
OF any in the State in all that is wise
and virtuous, then we say let us pre-
pare tor the millennium.
Now, let DR.. Clayton. the APOSTLES
follower, answer the following oucs-
tions: Did you not vote for Chamber
lain for governor? Did You not Oh
tam tho position Of surgeon in tho
penitcntiary by said vote; or was it.
because You were the best oualifieI
man for the place? WAS it in accord
ahce with the sentiment Of the Dcmoc
racyI DO YOU know Of any other mnn
VINO Gid not affiliate with the ReDubli.
can party that did obtain such 81 Iucrn-
tive position during Ciiamberlain,s
administration? '''' .
-; NEW, rs to the immaculate McLanc:
we have never before heard him ac-
cuscd OF possessing the last virtue
given him, viz, intellect, ina sufficient
degree to obtain prcfcrment in any
party, unless, perhaps, his present CO.
ad]utors can succeed in promoting
| their inspired brother.
All that we can say for him is, that
he has gained his notoriety here chiefly
lroln his cXtravagant ideas. and an III
ordinate desire to keep up Il commo-
tion between the races. That there
are women and children in the Green
PACK club, no one will attempt to deny.
That there arc seven who voted tie
Republican ticket, is equally true; and
as tor their being hirelings of the Re-
publican party, by their own statc-
mcnts it requires no very great logical
powers to sec that they arc propaoa-
tors or the doctrines OF that party, and
II we arc to accept the statements of
somc OF their most prominent mem
bers, they arc Identical in their design.
One Of them being asked, if our
next election should come to tic vote.
between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, and he had the casting
vote, what would ne do? He replied,
unc9uivocally, he ':would vote the Re-
publican tickct.' TO this we have
but TO say that words are inadcu,atc
to express the opprobrium that should
DC hcaped upon amy man who would.
merely to snbscrve some personal ag-
grandizcmcnt, engage in the unholS,
nnmaniy and umpatriotic work of de-
stroying the land Of his birth But
some OF these men can lay no indigo
nous claim to our country, and can
but be regarded as common enemies
to the State. DARK ConNrr ~
