A Model Old Nine Editor.

Some time ago. we alluded to man named
Turner as having started an Old Line paper
at Fort Wayne, and said this same Turner had
solicited situation with us. buta few weeks
previous, declaring that he conceded with us
entirely in our political views as expressed to
him by letter-that he was national AmerI-
can, bitterly opposed to the Old Line Demo-
cratic party, &c. We thought him then very
well prepared to make a model Democratic
editor, but the Fort Wayne Times has since
exhibited to the world other Recommendations,
emitting Turner to a prominent place as a
teacher of morals as we'll as of orthodox doc
trines in the Old Line party. rag
Turner's paper recently contained we'll
written and very aia9tins article about 'the
Mother" the Worlds Edp7N tor The loving,
the saint-like, the christian mother, was beau
tifully depicted. by the Rev. Reuben, D.. Tur-
ner as he was formerly called The Times
extracts this article, and Immediately after it,
publishes the following: .~coEt.5q Ls1s-lsi7
