County OGicers--Again.

In order to show the opinions of two
Democratic editors in relation TO the

this county and Lee county, we copy
the following delicious morceaus:
1--WE have no intention whatever of
casting reflections on The official conduct
OF any one. when we say, that the pa
thence Of the tax-paying people of this
county has been mast sorely tried by
the mistakes, and INCOMPETENCE
OF county officers, under our present
system of county organization, and
which system might and should haze
been familiar to all. The defective man.
nerof assessing and collecting taxes, and
the NEGLIGENCE and large iees of
men in county Offices generally, have
been, and are now, a common topic of
conversation and complaint,in the mouths
of all who contribute to the county rev.
enue." TT. Madison Statesman.
Eg We ask the candid attention of
every democrat in the county 10 an ar
tlcle on the first page, from the Iowa
Slatesmaa on the subject of the APP

that the remarks there ARE FULLY Ap-
PLIcABLE TO OUR OWN COUNTY. '-Des

Now we wish it borne in mind that
the Wigs do not take any of the blame
upon themselves fer the incompetency
Of the officers in this county, as they
are all Locofocos, and have had the mat

think, however, wing or two will get

THERE the young cheek shall ne'er grow
pale .....
With dire disease or trembling fear. E..
The eyes pure light shall never fail
Nor e'er be dimned by sorrows tear. -f
THERE shall we meet the loved again,
THERE hear again each gentle voice;
And free from every grief and pain, ay
In Heavens undying LOVE rejoice?
