Correspondence Of the Register.
WILsoSBURo, October 80.
The Inteligencer did not have the fair
ness even to acknowledge that it received
the same dispatch sent to it that was
sent to the REGISTER last "Wednesday
night; but intimated that the REGISTERS
account OF the contradiction of the false
report about the joint discussion at this
place, between Wilson and Hutchinson,
was the first time the contradiction
came under its notice. This is sample
OF the InteHigencer's fairness. 1t seems
ever willing to publish the most dis
graceful reports and contemplate false
hoods about political opponent, but
never ready 10 correct mistake OF its
reporters or correspondents. We know
the Inte'ligsncer is not accounta.
bic for the veracity OF any cor
respondent, and We also know
il should have the fairness and
honesty to publish both sides OF ques-
ton. This blind partisan zeal is not
calculated to gain subscribers in this
county. We write this not because we
are the friends of Col. Wilson but be.
cause truth and justice demand it.
]. w. Vandervort, Esq, the Intelligent
GERS reporter. says: 81 am personally
responsible for the accuracy and truth.
fulness of the reports OF the joint discus
sion, etc" Now We would like to know
who will be personally responsible for
this mice young man." this pink OF
perfection" this 'flighty" young orator,
this "pettifogger," who seldom looses an
opportunity to sell out his client, who
has made it a rule, in imitation OF the
minister who studiously avoided saying
ANYTHING about religion or politics in
his sermons, in pleading ut the bar to
speak OF everything but law and COM
mon sense.
Will the Intsll;gencer be personally
responsible" for this young man? We
believe the hte7yencer takes considera'
BILE stock in this truthfult?) correspond
ent, but even that does not add very
much to his reputation. In the course
OF his Especial" to the Int,|'igenccr for
which this very irresponsible youth is
81 responsible, he says: at was well
understood by those present at the dis
cussion that Mr.. Hutchinson complete
" demolished Col. Wilson in the argu.
ment, and gained for himself Democratic
and Greenback votes" We accord Mr..
Vanderwort the privilege OF thinking
Mr. Hutchinson completely demolish-
ed" Cd. Wilson in the Argument, but
on next Tuesday he will find the voters
OF this district are OF a very different
opinion. But he goes too far and says:
"And game for himself Demo.
cratic and Greenback votes" For
saving this we unequivocably and un-
aualiliedly brand him as wil'nl and
deliberate liar. We challenge, defy and
dare him to name one Democrat or
Greenbacker in this vicinity who was at
that meeting and who now proposes to
vote for Mr.. Hutchinson, even after the
of the Radical campaign
money, which has already
found its way to our village, but which
has not, will not and cannot change tho
vote of one man in our community,
In our dispatch OF last Wednesday
night we RETAINED from saying anything
aboutthe circumstances under which Mr..
Hutchinson came here and the persons
who cheered him and afterwards SUI
rounded him.
Of course there were mcn o! his own
party here who are counted among our
best citizens, and against these we have
naught to say. But there are men here
OF the lowest type OF vagabonds who be
sieged Mr.. Hutchinson for money AMI
who were instrumental in bringing him
here. Since the meeting some OF these
men have received money to our certain
and although We cannot
positively accuse Mr. Hutchinson OF
sending it, still everything connected
with the transaction indicates that he did
send it. Whenever the Republican
party asks the suffrage OF the people
il should nominate man who is
respected at home, and who can com.
mand respect abroad, and who is not so
devoid OF honor and principle as to con-
duct the campaign in the manner that
Mr.. Hutchinson has done.
In conclusion We must be permitted
to advise this green.eyed monster OF
reporter to confine himself to the truth
the next time he visits our village in the
capacity OF reporter.
The ether gentlemen who signed the
dispatch OF last Wednesday night are
not here, or their names would appear
with ours again. F.M. PAXTON,
