So, New Berlin printers are certainly in the
world, for they are as changeable as the
colors in the Kaleidoscope. The Star Of

a horse knows about music-and we find
BY the Philad N'cs that Mr. LEADER is
publisher of the Eolkestreund. But these
changes occur so often, as to be without
Valedictory or Salu'atory, and one grand
editorial "wE" is kicked out and another
ushered in "without why or wherefore
to the public. But, whatever alterations
may occur in names, the papers have for
the last year had the same object-the
destruction Of the Wing party in Union
county or the crushing of the Division
movement Ritter, Beaver, Smith, Leader
and Merrill have published CALL for a
Convention which thy kno,0 is calculated
to split the party in two, and which they
kaop is a fraud on the public, as seven OF
the names they fradulently use have since
recalled the same and thereby forbidden
publication Of the names! Yet-'rule or
ruin"-they continue to publish them!
