Hc btWOCFUC VI tliiS Wcek COMES out
with a cry of injured innocence which
well BELTS its Miss Nancy character
1t walls over the weaknesses of all hu-
man nature except those delectable spe-
cimens collected with choice Judgment
from the mass of wickedness scattered
abroad over the face of a sin cursed
earth, and cooped up in seven by nine

Street The world is as bad as bad can
be, save and except a regeneratlng
germ or two sprouting in little obscure
corner in primeval purity for the admi-
ration of the good.


The Democrat, the only Democratic
paper in the County, has advocated the
election of Democrats to Office. found
them weaklings afterwards with but few
exceptions, has been ungratefully treat
ed by these various officers for whom it
fought, bled, died and puked under the
fence during the heat of a bloody cleo
ton! 1t has borne the burthens and
heat of the day for its party and its NOM
inees, like jackass, and has received
more kicks than fodder! Oh, ingrati-
tude, basest of crimes! The Democrat
furnishes us, according to its own con-
fession, with another instance of mis-
placed confidence, and very aggravated
case at that, calling for the deepest
commisseration which it will doubtless
receive from the aspirants for office, if
not from the elect.


But we design showing up few more
of the falsehoods of our neighbor. The
Democrat says it knew nothing of
the design of competition between the
county papers till the Journal and Ma
tional had consummated their plans, and
that so far as the National is concerned
the plans have not been carried out
Now, the fact is, if we are correctly in
formed, the Democrat was the first pa
per advised of the intended change
that the information was given to I, j.
Rolfe in the Sheriff7s office, ON the occa
sion of his growing because an adver-
tisemeut appeared in the JOURNAL. The
Sh eriff said to him, in the presence of
two other persons, "Now Rolfe l am
tired of this. don't want you complain
ing round me every time a sale appears
in another paper. I am going hereafter
10 throw this matter open for competi-
ton to all the papers, and let the attor-
neys select for themselves" Words to
this import were used to him, in October
last, and he was told to get up list of
attorneys who wanted to publish in his
paper.


But the Democrat knocks the sand
from under itself by its own confession.
The arrangements" spoken of by the
Democrat were these: The lawyers of
the county signed card, signifying to
the Sheriff in which county paper it was
their desire to have their legal adver-
tisements published. The Democrat in
Inmates that the other papers-it can
mean nothing else-procured the COM
initial of the lawyers before it had
chance. We cite the public to the
Democrats own tribute to the lawyers
in the latter part of its article, and say
with it, that "the lawyers are made IF
the kind Of stuff that would have in
dependence enough to refuse their sig
natures to a document which did not
fully meet their wishes. Thus the COM
plant of the Democrat of low dealing to
obtain part of the official patronage is
proven to be sheer nonsense. The low
dealings were all on its own part, and
finally disgusted the Sheriff.


We say, as we said in the Griffin mat
ter, that the Democrat has lied in this
connection, from beginning to end. -
Hydraulic presses could not force lies
into smaller compass than is con-
tanned in one column of the Democrat.
We defy it to find in our columns line
of abuse of Mr.. Boring, when nominee
for Sheriff, though we opposed his party
at that time, as since-personally we
were friends. AS to the support of the
Democrat of Mr.Boring at the time ofhis
election but then we doubt if that officer
mortgaged himself for the favor, or was
bound to put up with the quarrelsome
and offensive impertinence of the run
ners of that sheet ever since. If the
Democrat now claims any exclusive fa-
vers on the ground of its party char acter
1t had better apply to other than LIE.
