Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1833-1861, 1855-05-25

With our hat oil. and with very
humble bow. we ask permission to say
a word or two in reference to our pros
poets. 1t has been industriously cir
culated In various quarters that the
circulation Of the AMERICAN Is con-

discontinued but done all they could

will see this. Tor they always read the
American. our increase is equivalent
to at least City per cent. Such is the
verdict Of the people.
Meanwhile we have received not a
few notices Of the Press. From among
these We make tho following selections
that our readers may know how we
stand among our editorial brethren:
