The people have learned to discount
that organs publications to such an ex'
tent, that reiutation is almost superfiu'
Gus.
They are not worth our powder.
But Yesterday, that organ burst forth
into a torrent OF Indignation over one OIL
the thinnest Radical roorbachs yet pro-
duced in the campaign. which deserves
a passing notice.

bv the IateIligencer editor, rs follows:
We desire to ask every fair-mlnded
reader Of the Ints'ig,ncT what they
would think were We to keep standing;
day after day, in our columns lot oi
paragraphs in which we would advise
our Republican friends 10 patronize
or employ nobody but Republicans.
How would it look? How would 1t
read? To ask such a question Is TO
answer it. 1t would look mean, mar

readers. Ii is only in the intolerant
South, and only in Democratic newspa-
pers, that such advice is given to the
people. Here, for instance, is a sped'
men of the advice which has been given
by the Charleston, 5. c., NewS and COur-
Ter to it's readers, and repeated to them
day after day:
Then followed what purported to be
quotations from the Charleston Ners,
of which the following are samples:
Ii you want a porter, employ Demo
crat.
II YOU want driver, employ Demo-
crat.
If you want a waiter, employ Demo
crat.
II you want tailor, employ a Demo
crat.
Ii you want a plasterer, employ Dem
Ccrat.
Iivou want wood cut, employ Dem
ocrat, &c, &C., DC, DC.
This Ralcal roolbach was conjured
ND in the West. The Charleston Nt~,
probably, never saw or heard it. The
editor Of the MtHigeace' never saw it i'll
the Ners or any her Southern paper
lie cut it from one OF the Western pa
pers. lie did not care whether 1t came
from the News or not, it suited his pur'
pose to credit it to the Ne~s, just as il
suits his purpose to CAIN a decreased
Democratic majority in West Virginia
and he claims it.
One OF the Ch;caI" pap rs published
this same roorbach, the Other day-thI

following challenge, which remains un

in which there isn't q particle OF truth
A morning Republican organ OF this city
says:
"The Southern system is shown 10y

umns Of the Charleston, ). &, Ne,rS:
"'If you want a porter, employ a Dem

This organ is well aware OF the untruti
OF its statement. Nothing OF the kind
appears in the paper named, or, so iai
as the exchange list OF the Times shows
in any other Southern paper. And thu
Republican morning organ knows this
but, being an organ, it will invent ono
parvert. Let the organ show genuine
copy oi the NewS containing any suci
matter quoted, or let it stand convicted
OF falsehood.
So we say to the Radical organ in thi:
city, let it show that it was published ii
