IL ms always D0SD our IuI0 Va uCtiVu w
lend helping hand to Immunity when found
in trouble. Whenever we have found q
man ssset'' in the mud, with an over load,
We have felt it our duty to put should

eusly until the load was extricated.
10 similar position We now find our
nsighbor Of the Gazette around the corner.
Three Of the propristors Of that paper are
tied to the dead CARCASS Of the Pierce and
Douglas party, BY three comfortable Offices.
To ssvs the sinking fortunes Of the party,
they have considered it their duty in view of
tho three salaries, to pandor to the prejudices
Of our foreign population, and muster into
the service, everything born out of the Uni
ted States.
81 Many Of the old line democracts have al
ready left the party on account OF the Ne
braska swindle. And there are many more
who arc good temperance men, and who will

now before the people.
II the Gazette INDUCES in the heroics,
and strikes in favor of temperance and hu-
manity Is it must do to retain part Of its
followers, then Il strikes at two of its can
didatcs who voted against the law in the
Legislature, and cuts loose from portion of
its forign auxillaries who are supposed by
it to take to beer and whiskey as naturally
~ young ducks to water.
On the other hand, should it come out
openly in opposition to temperance and pro-
hibition, it loses the support and the good
will perhaps of many of the old line democra-
cy, who wi not BIZ used in any such opera
ton.
This is the position in which that rapnr is
now placed. And hence the bad temper they
exhibit. And if they have seemed acrimo-

little from editorial dignity and courtesy

In view of all this, we ask this communi.
ty to suspend their judgment. We hops
that no one will condemn the editor,
of that paper for blackguards on account
ofanyt thing they have published in regard tt

in remuneration for their salaries. They

sscsrtained that the foreign branch Of bust
ness has been little oUer done, and for every
unit gained, there has been a loss Of
from two to three. Hence they have been
advised, probably to keep a little cool on
this head. Now we freely give them

stale, pitch into Gov. Grimes! He has had a
long respite. hss
