The above individual may give an unqualified denial to the exact wording of Mr. Benton’s letter, but I defy him to prove the sum and substance is not there.
In reference to this Pit Bank case, there is an old adage very applicable, viz.—“That we should believe every man honest until we find him a rogue!”
“An Elector” in the Daily Post (proper name “Post”) talks of a Firebrand being in the town. I admit it, we have had one in the town many years; it has tried to burn down our Independence. Our common honesty, our very liberty have been brought to the stake; but I beg to inform Mr. Smith and his esteemed friends, that we shall come out scatheless, and that his “quack” supporters may save their Goose Oil for their own scorched backs!
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours respectfully,
AN ELECTOR.
DUDLEY ELECTION.
TO THE CONSERVATIVE ELECTORS OF DUDLEY.
