HELP FOR THE ADMINIsTRATIoN.-We
have been told that presses, type, and all
the materials necessary for publishing a
simon-pure, dyed-in-the-wool, Slaveocratic
newspaper, for the adherents to patent Lo-
cofocoism in Sandusky county, have been
purchased, and that they are daily expected
to arrive here. This is project which has
long been talked of by portion of the faith
ful, who style themselves the true dcnocra-
cy, while those of their own party, who can
not swallow the administration pill with the
Missouri borler-rufian attachment, they de-
nounce as no democrats. We supposed un-
til within a few days past that third paper
was only talk. Neighbor Flaugher is deci-
dedly opposed to the movement, and styles
them "disorganizers." 1t is our opinion
that third press, at this time, was not nee
essary to do the printing for and supply the
people of the county with the news, and we,
like him think they will find it an uphill
business. But as it is to be an Administra-
ton institution, our advice is neither asked
or cared for. So mote it be.
