'lemen' we have nothing to say. But 10 the

lsI. To the head Of the Lock STEP FAxILY.
We are particularly indebted. We hanF him
very much lor th3 vicious lie he told on us rsla-
live to our charge for printing Assessors blanks,
in February last. lie is informed that il was
very generous in him quite generous lie to
emanaie from so drprdveI a sOurce-Io tell that
we had charged only tweniy.eghI times the
amount thar We did charge for said work, to
some OF the Assessors; and we have been cred
IDLY informed that il was unprecedentedly gensr-
Gus in him TO blow it around IOWA that We had
charged for County work double what we really
did. Looking at the case 10 this light. we are
not thankful without cause. BH one word Of
advice TO His Majesty. The next time you pro.

atives, refer them to the proper dOeumsnis from

Criminal Records, procure sun1ry repons of

quired amount Of Shorts, with an extra portion
Of Stimulus, and you will sand chance Of
getting more correct history Of yourself than

This done, then publish II in the ocofoco papers
Of this district, and maybe you might get the
nomination for Congress
81. To the Sheriff we also tender thanks. -
He may think that il was g g.ntlemlnly, just, and
courteous in himself, after having been elected
to the office he hold; by Wig votes, to with
draw from the Free Press his patronage; and he
may have thought that he was doing ample JUS
tice 10 the unfortunate individuals whose prop.
erly was exposed TO forced sale, by publishing
his advertisements in paper of bat very limited
circulation, large majority Of the numbers Of
which, from all reports, are never taken from
the post offices to which they are sent. We
say he may think these things, and inasmuch as
il is not often that we fad locofo,o off }a-hodsrs
acting from honesty of purpose, We feel inclined
10 rejoice and be thankful that we have found
the possibility of one. Whether or not Mr..
Mcclure is really All an example, we leave it
with his own conscience to determine.
Sd. To the Postmaster we have lille to say,
either way. The mite of patronage which he
took from this paper, and extanded 10 The pilirul
pet of the locoIOcracy, is too contemplate 10 BE-
talked about. He had as well, however, recol
Iecl that h. acts in his Official capacity under

ask that Monkey of his to look over The law, he
will probably find that Post-masters are required

and Disgusting aborIions that PULASKI" puts

they are unknown. The Hyena may rest as
sured that the sympathies of community are

tcles appear, particularly when The Atkinsons
and steam mills are prominent topics, on ac-
count of the loss he sustans in Shorts. The
