COMPLEMENTARY. "A letter writer of of
the papers spoke few days ago Of our having
received an invitation IN accept most liberal
offer as editor of mn American paper in larger
city than this and said there was strong hope
If our accepting it. Our friend of the Evansville
! journal rrper:
There may be and doubtless is ">trong hope"
| but not the rcnotest prospect. We want Prem
tice on the Ohio river, aud We are bound TO keep
| him here. He and the Louisville journal are one
in life and influence, and they belong not only to
the West. but especially to this particular
portion of the West.
A ST. Louis paper notices the matter in the
following style
The idea of Geo. ID. Prentice "emigrating'
from Louisville rs newspaper adventnr"r, Is
simply ridiculous. In former years, when the
Wing party was in the height of its strength and
renown, aud triumph in the nation. Mr.. Prentice
had the offer, more than once, to go 10 Washing
ton city and establish national organ for that
party. The public printing in itself "A fortune
was among the inducements offered him. He did
not accept. With man of the sentiment and
soul of Geo. d. Prentice, home, observation-disclosures
of life time trial; are gods for the id"latry Of
his genius. He will never leave Kentucky.
1t is very true that we have had, first and lat
n great many very hatterng proposals to take
the management Of papers at points remote from
this. Indeed there Is not in the whole Union II
sing gle lal ge city To which we have not had press
ing Invitations We have received two such
within the last few weeks, and by accepting ei.
iher Of them. might command larger salary
than member of Perce's Cabinet Six times
the leaders of our party have endenvored to pre-.
vail on US either to establish to take charge Of
a national organ at Washington. aud, in one case
Clay. Webster, md Calhoun were Among those
who joined in the request, and we were offered
not ON y the public printing bat sal ny besides
rs large as the united salaries of pair Of Cabinet
ministers.
We do not mention these things by way boas
ting vet, when the bitter denunciations of
politcical opponents are considered, we might be
held exensabe for little Boosting. We have
never for u moment thought of abandoning Lou
syillc or the Louisville journal. We are suits

The Courier and Enquirer Of New York which
fayors the election of Banks rs Speaker, says of
the difference of opinion between him aud Fuller:
Now it is true these two candidates occupy
different positions an the Nebraska measure
Mr. Fuller, though originally opposed TO the bill,
ir we suppose, in favor of acquiescenoe : Mr..
Banks, not. Both are Know Nothings, bat The
one is in frror Of the memorable ticeifh section
of the Philadelphia platform, the other opposed
thereto" If Mr. Fuller stands in good faith ON
the 10Th section his election would be entirely
SAT- ,faciory to the American party in the South
We much doubt whether the exclusive candidate
of the Democrats. Mr. Richardson, would DO
willing to come up To this standard.
