Ourselves.

As announced on the first page,
we have commenced the publication
Of a daily paper. Onr success, thus
far, has about equalled our expec-
tations, which were, however, no,
very high wrought. We do not ex-
pect to make more than expenses
out of the daily-our gain is in the
Improvement of the weekly. Our
country subscribers will notice the
addition to- day to our usual amount
of reading matter, and this addition
will be more than kept up,
We shall continue the daily at
least during the summer months, or,
if we conclude to stop sooner, time
ly notice will be given. Meantime,
such ofo weekly subscribers thro'
town as wish to take the daily alone,
can, if they have paid in advance,
have their credit transferred to the
daily. Such as are in arrears on the
weekly, must comply with our inva-
riable rule, and settle up before their
papers can be stopped. On the dali
ly, we can give no credit. 1t is an
out of pocket business to us at best,

The Quincy Libel Suit.

We were able yesterday simply IN an
nounce the result Of the libel ,nit brought by
the editor Of the cl,incy Whiy against the
editor Of the Herald. We have since re-
ceived copy Of the Herald, in which a full
history is given Of the suit, anl we are en-
abled to account in some degree for the We
ry remsrksble and exorbi,antverdicts as " e
really thought it) that had been rendered in
the case. The explanations given BY the
Herald, it must he conceded, pa, a new and
better face on the matter. The case stands
briefly thus: Some three monih, since the
editor of the Wing commenced a furious
newspaper war on Mr.. Brooks, thea sole ed
itor Of the Herald. Brooks paid him sck in
kind; and the war was kept up brisk and
hot for month, plenty Of libelloN matter,
doubtless, being printed on both sides. The
Wing man now began to fad that Brooks
was too much for him, and cried fcrquar,er !.
which, after few '.lsst Shots" was grant
ed, aud hostilites had apparently ceased I;
when Bartlett, writing under tho drubbing
he had received, and burning for revenge,
but knowing Of no other way 10 get it, de-
termined to annoy the Herald by legal
prosecution. Bat now mark the nreannsss
of the thing. Mr.. Woods had meantime
become a partner Of Brooks, in the publica.
ton Of the Herald, and as Bartlett very well
knew that if the suit were brought against
Brooks i; would amount to nothing. for he
would show that Bartlett had cou,me need the
fight AMI got only what he deserved--so he
commenced the suit against Mr.. Wood.
who had never uttered a word az g,ins, Bart.
lett, saveby one Of those vilest Of human ab-
suriitieS, a legal fiction. OF course none Of
Mr.. Brooks jlsifie atory matter was admit
ted in evidence at the trial, and by Bartlett
assuring the jury positively that, whatever
amount of damages they might award him
by their verdict, he would nevertake cent
Of it, he got verdict against Woods for, no
minally four hundred dollars!
The Herald has been a sore annoyance TO
sundry big men about Qnincy, Who have at
tempted to break it down; bot it will take
dozen Of such libel suits TO do it.

The n. York Barnburners 60 for Benton
Shortly after the reception Of his speech,
they held meeting, at which the Hon,
BENZ. T. Butler wrote the resolutions-the
same who drafted the platform of the BnfFa.
10 convention. The following is one of the
resolutions:
RESOLVED, That in his late appeal, from
the disorganizing resolutions Of the Legis'
lsture of Missouri, to the source Of author
iiy-the people themselves-Thomas IL.
Benton has takena course which, under the
circumstances in which he is placed, this
committee deem perfectly consistent with
the right of instruction; and that the bold
ness and ability with which he has vindiea-
ted the true principles Of the Constitution,
and the sacred interests Of Humanity, give
him new title to the confidence and affec.
ton of the American people. IN our just
admiration of this great service TO his coun-
try, and to mankind, we almost forget the
differences Of opinion which yet exist
between us; we quite forgive the illtimed
visit Of I8iS to our State and city and we
tender him, with our hearty "God speed"
the right hand Of fellowship.

BtSHoP DoANr, of New Jersey, whose re.
cent failure has created considerable news
paper talk, has pat forth a statement, in
which he undertakes to explain his affairs.
His Indebtedness is put down at $3.50, 900
which he sayswas mainly incurred to main
tain two schools in y. J. Yet he admits
that the receipts ofthe schools are now some
$4,000 year. The bishop shows plainly
that he is not much gifted with the w sdom
Of this world in keeping money, although
few men know better how to spend it.
The shame is, that most of his heavy in.
deb!edness is TO butchers, bakers, grocers,
wme dealers, &c, of which last article the
bishop appears TO be splendid judge-i'n.

Celebration OF the ilh,

We see by the indications through town
I that there will be no celebration Of the
fourth got up at this place. The main rea-
son is that many apprehend that such a
gathering is calculated to promote cholera.
We differ, (lIke the preacher who diff
fered from 81. Paul, perhaps,) but ne
vertheless, if no celebration is TO take
place here, that is not saying that such of
us as wish to enjoy this National Holiday,
cannot do so out Of town. We have recei-
we'd invitations to attend celebrations at
Newark, Kendall county; Morris, GTuudy
CO.; Paw Paw Grove, De Calb CO.; and to
Worthwhile, in this county, and are au,horz.
ed TO extend the invitations TO all who may
wish to celebrate this great day. We, also,
have published the proceedings of meet.
ing at Lowell, in this county, where the
preparatory steps were taken to get up
celebration on grand scale. Why may
we not participate The invitation is TO all,
and preparations will be made to accom-
modate all who come. The Lowell and
Nermilion people sent a heavy delegation
to Ottawa year ago, and it is due from us
that we should return the compliment. The
Ottawa Band, we learn, have determined to
60, and so have number of our young peo-
pie. Let the turn out among those who
have undetermined on going elsewhere be
general, and let us give them bumper!
