IF we are rather mufe than usualdull
for d day Of 80, cur readers must be
charitable. and quote for ns this para
graph, as our apology for being stupid.
We have never beer unfortunate until
now---and we think this will serve as
a very wholesome lesson from which
We cannot do otherwise than profit
Up to this period In our career We
havarun headlong course "unchek-

him in the main point. which involves
Politics, Patriotism, pecuaiary bene-

/. 10 despatch "Fillibuster'' for the
present, until we can have d little more
leisure, We say most positively ard
unequiyocally. without either mental
reservation Or self evasion III any man
ner whatever, that We ''1ttr1,t DO ana
s,tch tling--aole. We never wished
to cast any stigma upon General Mar
ciso Lcptz, or the brave company Of
Young gentlemen who followed his
fortunes. The article alluded to by
"Fillbuster' was directed against the
patriotic liberty loving gentlemen. who
kept ID home and worked the wires
put the ball in melton BY giving
liberal donations of lands and other
spells, 70 all who would embark in the
undertaking and steal it for them.
This is our position; NOR what have
you to say Mr.. Fillibuster r. Let US
hear you, Give us your article for
aud We will put you II the
fatrest type in our Office.
