The Republican,


IL has been a strong desire with us to pre-
serve peaceful connections with our cotempo-
raries of the Republican, and we still have
the same wish. We do not conceive that
this or any other community can be pleased,
much less enlightened, by the quarre!ngs of
Editors. We should like to see the Young
men OF the Republican prosper, but they are
taking the wrong course to do so in this COM
munity. If they think their misrepresenta-
tons about us are so peculiarly deep as to be
unfathomable by evary intelligent reader, or
that they, the publishers, possess so strongly
the confidence of the community, and such
undoubted characters for veracity. that TO say
thing ia TO insure its being swallowed by
their ellow-citizens-one or the other Of us is
much mistaken. For instance do they think
business men of this city who are 10 the hab-
it Of reading the markets. in our paper, and
noticing them in the Republican, will permit
their judgment to be humbugged by the
boasts of its publishers of superiority? Or
that because they say man is guilty of tell
ing a ialsehood, their own character for We
racity is so unquestionable, that the commu-
nifty will permit them to set themselves up as
Judges Of the veracity Of their fellow-citizens,
and thus the man must be believed guilty.

glish language, and the opinions of the pub

ways been so unfortunate, except for the brie

Now. we do not know who has usurped

blackguard inately as Hutchen, and he lool
as if he only wanted an excuse to prove hin
self such. The publishers might do well
profit by the experience oftheir predecessor
Hutchen had to leave town, after cheatr
the man who had supported him, while Il

perience should be peculiarly toucting, as tt
publishers of the Republican, like he Of Il
old Advertiser, are renegade Wings.
