'Spare me thy vengeance,
In quiet let me live:

For thou has noue TO give"
We would kindly ask the Rockville
correspondent OF the JournOk to commit
the above To memory. for reasons which
the sequei will show. The first question:

rascal he has been found guilty of ras.

Stigma Rascal-on his forehead WHY
then, should this rascal unwittingly, let
us hope, rush into print TO give advice to
honest men. We are aware Of the fact
that Shakespeare has said that Il @ worst
of men oft give tho best advice" But

days Of Republican corruption, else lie

His eager and impetuous desire fornews-
paper notOriety and Office has ontqiled
upon him the loss of his own re lutation.

Just so long as he seeks newspaper nc

Looking over recent Issue OF the
Wheeling IntciiigcHcer, we noticed a com
mun:cation in that paper from Valley
Point, signed Farmer" which bears the
imprints Of the Rockville correspondent.
AS usual, he displays his stupidity and
ignorance to AN alarming extent. He
says the Radicals of this benighted coun.
ty want Hon. Geo. G. Sturgis for Cows
ernor and Hon. VIM. NJ. O. Dawson for
State Senator; that Preston is gooI for II
hundred Radical majority, and that every
Radical mOssback in the county is willing
to wager their brindle cow and sorrel
mare that West Virginia will 20 Repub.
lican the "eXt election. What caiolery

we have enlisted for the next campaign
to help turn the Radical thieves out of
Office. or course, you ha,o beer turned
out. When you were in Office you made
the acquaintance OF other Iascals, hence
your yell for to turn them out. That is
right. Just keep ON yelling. one yell
from rascal like you is worth twenty
yells from honest men like we.
THESE are long w nter nights, friend
Farmer" and it will afford us n little
amusement il you will entertain us for
period oil two or three mouths through
he Jo~'Wui, by telling us what you have
forgotten about iasc"lity since YOU were
turned out of Office. Give 1t to US i'm

Honest no, friend Farmer" is not
