Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 October 1858 — DAVID SNYDER, ESQ. [ARTICLE]

DAVID SNYDER, ESQ.

This gentleman made a speech at the Court House yesterday afternoon. The house was about half full, and a large proportion of them Republicans. We shall treat him with more courteousness and decency than he deserves, and show him more respect than he did for himself yesterday; | fur of all speeches we have ever heard, Air. Snyder’s outstripped them in low slang and indecent personal abuse. He commenced by alluding to us as tbe “lying cur of the Gazette ,” and then went, on to speak of the ‘‘lying curs about the Court House.” lie exhibited the manners and language of the pot-house politician, instead of the high and ennobling sentiments that should always flow from the lips of men aspiring to the high position he does. But it was gratifying to setthat his hearers did not approve of his lowflung abuse, but universally treated him with silent contempt whenever he resorted to it. Several Honest Democrats went away disgusted, and we are confident that lie wilLbe defeated by a greater majority than if that speech had not been made. The speech was principally made up of abuse of us, and his hearers went nwnv without being edified

with one ennobling sentiment. Indeedjone would think that the editor of this paper was a candidate for office, and that he feared no one else.
