the other day to prominent Democrat Of Benton |
to give him all the support of the Fur Company,
for seat in the Legislature, If he would pledge /
himself TO vote for Goodhue for Legislative printer
The democrat secuted the proposition with indig- !

particular. We have not, nor has any one for
US, with our consent or knowledge, so much as

your ticket, say to them, in the language Of Frank
Brawlev, mot a BRICK! not one brck!''
The editor Of the Democrat has been cudgel-
ling his brain for week, TO produce some rhymes
