There never wasa more unblushing lie tod
than the above. aud the editor ofthe Nlcksburg
Wing was either drunk or unpardonably care
less when he vote it. Such a paragraph or
such contemplate sentiments never disgraced
the columns of the Republican-and we ask
editors and printers to do Us the justice to brand
the miserable fabrication as a ialsehoed whcr.
ever found. The substance of this silly para
graph first appeared in the Bayou Sara Ledg.
er, and was copied by that papers left bower,
form to what we now find it; and we deemed
i too contemplate to be noticed. For Journey
man printers we entertain dll the respect that
exists between members of the same craft
and of neal a hundred who have been en-
ployed in this office within the last ten years,
we believe there is not one who would think
US capable of such superlative folly and mean
ness, as hat charged by the Vicksburg paper,
We are a printer %ourself, and are proud of the
profession.
The Wing spins out a half column Of excla-
nations about base, reasonable spirit our
God-like ancestors the good men of the north,
and such like twattle, which, if it had been
telling the truth about us, would have been
very cutting and very appropriate. But, alas!
poor Yorick! it is all moonshine. The pious
editor must roll down his sanctimonious up
turned eyes, and acknowledge that he has
poured out his fund of patriotic CALCULATIONS
TO no purpose We are unacquainted with the
ediser-but we will hazard the prediction that
he is a full blooded Yankee who, when "to
hum" had rather have done a favor to sold
Nick" himself than to a poor Southern man.
Although we can not boast that 'Godlike
sires" were from the North, we believe that
like many Others, they were as good men and
true, as though they had SPENT heir early days
in ~peddling wooden clocks and nutmegs. At
all events, we do not Judge men by the place
of their birth-and fully admit that with a lit
tie training, the editor of the Vicksburg Wing
might have been born in a stable, and yeti not
have been such an ass as he appears to be.

R There was the largest attendance at
June & Cos Circus in this place on Wednes-
day last that ever was known 70 the oldest
inhabitant' 1t was estimated that there were
not less than twenty FIVE hundred people. (and
some say three thousand,) in attendance, and
that the proprietor Of the "show" took at least
one thous0nd dollars of the peoples money.
Think of that, citizens of Sandusky county |
One thousand dollars spent for few hours
amusement which was of no real benefit to
you. Il would have been much better to
have kept that money circulating within the
county. 1t would have paid many an honest
debt and made many heart glad For one
thousand dollars, we could furnish the Free
man to one thousand families, one year, which
would not only amuse them, but at the same
time impart instruction and information, that
might be OF incalculable benefit to the pos
SCISSOR. Friends, whenever you find yourselves
spending shilling, or a quarter" foolishly,
just think of the printer. of his trials, hard
ships, privatiOns, and empty purse, and if your
good genius does not prompt you to a goed
action, then we are no Judge Of human nature.

Hope.

Thou art the mystic and unseen spell that
harmonizes and consoles the spirit tossed as
it so often is holpless and forlorn into the
dark whirlpool of sorrow ;maze thickening upon
maze around it care upon care distracting its
dazzling powers, and hurrying it on to the Vor-
tex. Without thee. how soon would it cease
to struggle against the ever descending and
mighty whirl, yield to the benumbing influence
of the gloomy spirit of the sable valley Of
despair and ride passively on to destruction.
The gorgeous palace of the King would be a
dungeon without thee, and even the simple
pleasures of the peasant turn to ashes in the
using. Influenced by thy rays the poverty
stricken student is. chained to his chest Full
in the face thy gentle beams are thrown-the
mourner. turns her eyes to heaven and ends in
rejoicing, the musing she had commenced in
despair; leans upon thee, as heaven sent
messenger and begins earnestly to prepare
her own soul for the better land, We will
then take courage that when darkness sur
rounds our path il shall be removed, and all
will appear bright again as hope spans the
heaven with the arch of promise ito our be-
nighted souls. Cleaner.
