can assure them that this garb OF hlsh
moral sentiment which they Fave 50 re.
Gently donned does not hide their political
lenrosy. Can any one fail to see that their
object in magnifying the insignificant |
and harmless act of the Levy Court was |
but to obscure the magnitude of the acts

who "sat upon the platform" at that
meeting, and | know them to be
gentlemen OF honesty and integrity, N
business and social Intercourse, and 90
not know that they were individually
guilty of the violation of any law upon
our statute books at the late election; but
know. and do not doubt for moment
that they too are personally aware OF the
fact, that there are a large number OF gem
tlemen, members of their own poiltlcal
party, who enjoy the esteem and comb
dence OF their fellow-Citi2ens and are rs
highly respected and respectable as they,
who if the laws oil our state had been en-

the penalty oil the acts OF winch they are
guilty, would to-day be confined WITHIN
the prison walls Of Our county. Yet our
friends are highly indignant at what the
and iustifiable act. but that inclination IS
not touched by the Illegal, immoral and
indeed reasonable acts oil Their own party

In conclusion, will only call the atten-

| Cedar Creek hundred whose high sense OF
morals seems to have been suddenly
awakened. to the fact that our Republican
| friends admit that they, by the material
assistance of Mr.. Addicks, defeated and
| overthrow the honest Will OF the people OF
| our county by the use of Mr.. Addlcks'
money. The aforesaid Democratic friends
surely could never have heard OF this. ii

gnat and swallow a camel;' and theirs at
least is not an honest and righteous indis-
| nation.
must ask your pardon, Mr.. Editor, for
occupying so much of your valuable space,

used to condemn the Levy Court OF Our
