has opened a new stock ofeents goods,

EYf-We wiali to call the attention
ofthe editors of the N. q. 7rue Del
ia to the fact that they have given The
Comet credit for our article on "The
Mails"
This notice from our neigbbor II
Lafayette street, corrects an error, that
We designed to have remedied this
morning. The Lord knows we don't
want his article on the mails. II we
| only get credit for one-half the "good
things We do say, the balance may be
appropriated to auybody's use. The
reason why we give this evidence Of
llberality il, that our thoughts 9 oct 's
nothing II they were produced with
the amount of labor the mountain
had to endure to get rid Of the mouse

We admire the following strain from
Thursdays Democrat:
Living. as well as posthumous ex-
amples, furnish the most abundant aud
ineontestible proofs Of the superior
fitness over any other, Of the DemQ-
cratic system Of government for tie
promotion Of liberty, prosperity and
the general pursuits Of happiness
We like this style--it is q good
thought, well expressed but the ques-
ton arises, 'What il Democracy p
And it astonishes US that there should
be 30 much difference ofopinion about
u question that can be az clearly de-
monstrnted fundamentally as 'every
cat has three tails"
The Advocate republishcs the Anal
report Of the Board Of Health, ''made
up from the undertaker's books. 49,
Here 1t may be discovered that two
columns Of our only interesting "edi-
torial' during the epidemic, has been
taking from us, without line Of credit
anywhere. It stabs us in a tender
point to see every thing that made
our paper interesting for three dull
months, crowded into a column and a
half without credit. Come gentle
men give the devil his due. It il radi-
cally wrong TO take our valuable edi-
torial--published without any cost
to the Board Of Health, or Selectmen,
and give no credit to us. Il the Gag
cite will promise to SAY nothing more
to the True Delta ABOUT placing his
article about mails to our credit We
will balance accounts with the official
paper on this score.
