A Remarkable Paragraph.

We are truly sorry that Sanders is losing
his subscribers, but what else could he expect,
when he is daily sending forth to the pnbiic
such barceaced i;llsehoods. as has emanated
from the Journal since his late tour to Cairo.
We hear it whispered around that Sanders
has become disgusted with Evansville, and
has been travelling in search OF a purchaser
for his Office. We hope he will find one, as
he thinks the citizens Of Evansville cant APP
preciaie his extraordinary talents.-l Repnb-
Hcaa.
Talking about alsehoods''-which is prob
ably the only thing we can talk about that
the Republican men can understand in all
its branches--it would be very difficult oput
more falsehoods IN the same number Of lines
than are contained in the abo,e paragraph.
We were no, aware before that the Journal
was losing, or is losing subscribers. On the
contrary our list Of Daily. Tr-weekly and
Weekly, is steadily Oh the increase, and has
been for months. Next, the editors OF the
Republican instead Of asserting we tell
barefaced f,lsehoods, +" would better satisfy
their readers by pointing out what they term
falsehoods, and proving them TO be such. 1t
is not much better then falsehood to assert
another tells an untruth, without proving the
assertion. What may be whispered around"
about us we cannot tell, but if everything is
to be believed which is whispered around: T"
then there is no doubling the fact that the
publishers Of the Republican are too ARA nj
jackasses. But considering we are disgust
ed with Evansville, they must admit that
our disgust assumes a very pleasant form,
and we enjoy ourself very much for dis
gusted man. II our business abroad had
been to find a purchaser for the Journal we
should most certainly have been successful
But to travel from Evansville for purchaser,
would be just as simple rs to go abroad in
search ola knave. IL the writer of the above
had capital both might be found ut the Re-
publican office.
And lastly, whether the citizens OF Evans
vile appreciate our talent or not, we hope
before We are done with the Republican 10
make It's purported editors appreciate some
hing about us, which, whether talent or not,
is very destructive to long-eared and short
witted bipeds.
