Sad Result of the Remission Of TarGtiOn.--
One Of our last of the punsters has noticed as
a melancholy instance of the hardships that
may be produced, even by a remission Of taxes
that since the duties were taken of advertise
ments and supplements, the unfortunate Times
newspaper was expected never to produce a
single sheet more

EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE
WiH Point Ottawd co., Mich, dug s., 1853
Enclosed is SO, for which send me 20 copies of
Faets for the People The old parties consider
us in this region as sold out and compromised
and dead beyond revival, and buried beyond
hope or fear of resurrection. But we made a
small beginning last fall, to show our hand,
and by the time another election comes about
we intend God helping us, to show them re-
suit they'll be surprised at. L. M. s.
Springpale, York co., Maine, Aug. Is, 1883.
Enclosed you have ST. for 3S copies of Facts.
One man, on whom | urged a copy of the Facts,
saying, you cannot receive copy and not read
it. in few days after said to me, 1t is strange
how they were opposed to slavery in those
days" referring to the adoption of our Govern
ment. Another Acquaintance, formerly much
opposed to Free Democracy said to me, after
reading the Facts, "There are some good things
in those little papers, | declare"
1t is an error of my Judgment or the Facts
for the People are doing great good within the
circuit of my club of l43 Facts and EraS.

Msrico, Ind, august 8, lS53-We have as
yet, no Free Democratic organization in this
part of the State, but think we will get the
ball started the coming autumn We are
working mighty revolution in this section,
where the spirit of Hunkerism had no prevail
ed, that it was hard to get the people to talk
or think much about the "peculiar insttu-
ton +" but they are now reading and talking,
and think in few months, Miami county
will present quite a respectable array of Free
Sellers. Many with whom | am acquainted,
last fall refused to converse upon the subject
of slavery and free principles are now becOm-
ing strong friends OF Truth and Right
