Of this gentleman in reply to Mr..
Simpson. While some may condemn
us for admitting it to our columns, but
having admitted the first, we could
not as an honorable journalist, do less
than to admit the reply. Mr.. simp-
sons communication was addressed
to Mr.. Menager, over his own name,
and as a matter of justice, Mr..
Menager had right TO be heard
through the same channel in which
he was criticised. We could not
refuse to do that for which we con
demned the TriJune-M Monitor for not
doing, to-wit: Refusing to publish
the "Reply" Of Mr.. Thomas Fowler,
late President Of the Board of Over
seers of the Poor, to an attack upon
the said Board, published in the
Tfibune-Monitor of a recent date
Democrats, and the people generally,
will see that it is a misunderstanding
between these gentlemen. Mr.. Men
ager, no doubt, tries to brighten
up his side of the case, and while
he may not have been a party to
the ISLANDERS upon Mr.. Simpson, yet
his party has never lost an oppor-
tunity to defame Mr.. Simpson, and to
some extent Mr.. Menager is response
bic, because a word from him would
stopit. It's part of the stock in trade
of the Republicans TO abuse and mis-
represent Democrats and Democratic
candidates. They could not conduct
u canvass without doing so. We
take occasion here to say, that Mr..
Simpson has made one of the hest
Prosecuting Attorneys this county
has ever had; has saved more money
to the people than any former Prosecu-
tor, and is entitled to the confidence,
respect and votes Of every man in
the county; and he will be elected
too, in spite of the Radical villifca-
ton and Misrepresentation of him.

We clip the following excellent
article from one of our State ex-
changes. 1t is full of food for rehec.
ton, for Democrats who are now act
ing with the Greenback party. We
hope they will read it, and ponder
over it, ere they cast their votes in
October next.
The Democratic party is on the
road to success, aud it now seems
nearly impossible that any combina.
ton of circumstances can prevent
the election of Hancock and English.
1t is possible, however, for the Dem.
ocratic members Of the Greenback
party to seriously disturb the Demo.

combination with the Republicans,
a course we are sorry to say that

If the Republican party had not at
all times and under all circumstances
been the enemy of the hackers,

that flooded our country with nearly
two thousand Eillions of currency
