CT. AUL'AND cAIENA.

The Galena Advertiser, of the 3Oth ult., has a
temperate sensible, and timely article on the sub
jcct of the mutual relations existing between st.
Paul and Galcna. The writer is evidently aware
of the source f.om whence eminatcs the continued
attacks upon Galena by portion of the press of
our city, and regards it with dcscry cd contempt.
Were it not that the length of the article forbids

we consider its tone and arguments calculated to
produce beneficial results, by contributing to the
establishment of mutual good understanding be-
tween the two cities, which bad men have sought
to mar, in order to advance their own selfish ends.
The Advertiser closes with the following para
graphs which arc in perfect harmony with the
ground taken by the Times few days since:

and peoplc of Galena. All We can say is, Galena

disgust at so strange a PROCLAMATION.
The drapcry Of mourning now shrouls
the allurcments to vice. We have
heard little from the country vet, but
doubt not that the juLiico is universal.
We are gratifed to see that oul
principal liquor dealers have all closed
up the traffic voluntarily, and say they
will not sell willie the law is sustained.
This is true of all the principal hotels
and wholesale dealers. If they abide
by this decision, we olinc it will be a
