box at Siou's Drug Store. for the reception
Of adye rtsements, sc. for the Fountain.

Immediately forwarded TO US,
We sent our Weekly Fountain of last Satur-
day to the members Of both Houses of Con
gress, and also to the Judges Of the Supreme
Court. The paper itself contained this notice
at the beginning Of the page on the inside,
so iticould be seen by all, with the request
that those who did not think proper to pa
'ronize the paper, would signify their wish
bys sdropping a line to that effect into the letter
box at the Fountain office.
We have received the names of the follow
ing honorable gentlemen as wishing TO dscon-
tinue:
IS. Adams, of Miss; E. D. Baker, Of H.;
TIL. Bayley, of Va; James Black, of Pa;
Jefferson Davis, Of Miss. Samuel s. Ellis
worth, N. r.; George Fries, of Ohio; Mere
deth P. Gentry, of Tenn; J. w. Houston, Of
Del; James B. Hunt, Of Mich; T. B. King,
OLGA; Edward Long, Of Md. J. HI. Lump
kin, Of Ga; J. D. MIGRATE, Me-; Edward
w. McGauhey, Of La; VIM. A. Moseley, Of
N. II. John s. Pendleton, Of Va; George

Thomasson. of KY; Allen G. Thurman, Ohio !;
John Tibbats, KY; Horace Wheaton, N. Y.
Joseph A. Woodward, S. c.; James c. Dob
bins, Of N. G. Making, in all, 26.
This will do very well. If all the other gen
tlerrien continue and are favorable to our Foun-
tain, we have about 260 TO 26, pretty fair
majority, but we will not, by any means, op
press so small minority. They may come
into our measures when ever they are so in
cned Our measures have truth and righte-
business for their support, Notwithstanding, the
Hon. Mr.. Thomasson wrote on the margin of
falsehood for its support, is unworthy"
This gentleman is laboring under mistake,
if he Judge US to claim the assistance of any
such props. Of this he may be convinced, if
he will look at the very number of the paper
he returned. Why, could he no, do as MIR.
Woodruff has done, and as we invited any
others to do; it win always be our creates,
pleasure to repair any wrong, though it may be
(unintentional.) Our columns will always be
open to the gentleman, or any one else, if pos
sible to place them in their true position. We
claim to be the friend Of all. Therefore, the
gentleman must consider US his friend. and i
his friend, we will not wrong him.
We admitted some time back some remarks
in reference to the liquor establishments in the
Capitol. 1t seems our correspondent referred
10 one of them by name. The gentleman who
keeps that one, ii seems, feels himself hardly
dealt with, and supposes it TO arise from. po-
litical bias in favor of the other So far as the
editorial remarks are concerned, they were not
personal. The editor of this paper knows no
sect-no party-no clan. He has to do with
moral principle, and it is not the men, but the
business they follow, the place they occupy,
that he feels, himself bound to treat upon, and
if there is one or more Of them placed in the
Capitol, he unhesitatngly condemns the tole-
ration Of the business there or elsewhere; yet
he loves the men, and will, if he can, save
thenA-ED. ~
