Esg- The above appears as the leading ed
itorial article in the HoNander of the 10th
inst. In perusing this article, persons not ac-
quainted with the facts in the case, might be
led to suppose that we had used some dis
honorable means to obtain the publication of
the tax sales, or that the Auditor General
has exercised undue partiaity- toward the
Times in again comforting upon that paper
the benefit of State patronage.
1t is true there are two Democratic papers
published in the county of Ottawa; BOTH pre-
scented petitions to the Auditor General solic-
ting the publication Of the tax sales The
one on the part of the HdHonder, it appears,
was signed by large number Of the citi-
zens of the Colony, of all parties" On the
part of the Times no efforts were made to
obtain signatures to the petition further than
the names of the several county officers
in connection with the Supervisors represent
ing the respective towns Of the county Of Ct
tawa, numbering in all nineteen, excepting
the names of the two gentlemen who
represented the towns of Holland and Zee
land. This we presumed would be sufficient
evidence to the Auditor General that the
manner in which we had hitherto performed
this duty, to the State and county, was per-
fectly satisfactory to all concerned, and that
the voice of a vast majority of the electors of
the county, were they called upon to decide
upon the paper most proper to. receive State
patronage, as far as concerns the publication
of the tax sales, would unbestatngly desig-
nate the Times as the medium. iree
The Hollander, it is true, may publish the
greater number Of copies, weekly, but we are
by no mears assured that it has one-fourth
the circulation in the respective towns of the
county, particularly amongthe American pop
ulation, that the Times now enjoys. We are
informed by creditable witnesses that its cir
culation, in this county, is confined principal
ly to the people speaking its language, in the
towns of Holland and iceland. A number
of copies are sent to the office at this place,
and few to other points. 'ii
This we believe to be an unvarnished state
ment of the facts in the case, and no doubt
the Auditor General has selected medium
for the publication of the tax sales, that
seemed TO him, in all respects, the most APP
.a.T
proprate, and the citizens of the county, gen
orally, will, we believe, approve his decision.
1t is trait of character worthy of all com
mendation, admirable, indeed, in our esteem
ed contemporary Of the Hollander, in these
days of great moral degeneracy, to be able
to resist the bribe of profered gold, and prom
ises Of large State patronage, so alluringly
presented to his consideration by the "emis-

,"gThere are two democratic papers publish
ed in the county of Ottawa, the Hollasader
and the Times.
"Both applied to the Auditor General for
the advertising of the tax sales in Ottawa
county. The Hollander claimed it on the
score of justice, the Times having received
much more than its proportion of patronage
Of this kind, and the HoLander being the
oldest paper, and having much the largest
circulation. It's application was backed by
the petition Of large number Of the citizens
Of the Colony, Of all parties, asking thai the
tax, printing be given to the HoHander, for
the reasons stated '''' ''H '2'
"Our pure, high princiPled republicans
sent two different emissaiies to bribe the ed
itor and proprietor Of the HoHdader to the
advocacy of republican doctrines as held by
the present dynasty in Michigan, oferilig him
large sums Of money, and the tax printing, if
he would comply with their wishes, and
threatening to establish new paper if lie
refused; but threats and promises both failed.
He refused to sell either his principles Or his
paper for their dirty money. we now learn
that our republican Auditor General con
cludes to advertise the tax sales in the Times.
1.-THE consistency of this will be apparent
to every one who recollects that condemna-
ton of the opposition to the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise, and the Kansas and
Nebraska bill are the great leading doctrines
Of the. Republicans, that the HoHander OPP
posed the repeal Of the Missouri Compro
mise and the Kansas Nebraska bill in the out
set and has never supported them, while the
Times has never opposed them, but has, to
say the least, silently acquiesced in them as
party measures.
= We believe that the fact that the editor
and proprietors of the Hollqnder belong to
the class who have been contemptuously call
ed Dutch Cattle was one reason why our
know-nothing friends could not do the Hol-
lander justice.
We are sorry that they should succeed in
using democratic tools to wreak their petty
vengeance upon us, for the crime Of our for
egn birth and our refusal to sell our princi-
pies to them. At the'same time we feel fiat
tered by the choice Of the Republicans, as
showing their opinion of the. relative impor-
lance of the two papers in spreading demo
cratic principles, and which they consider
least likely to harm them in the coming cam
paign. More on this subject hereafter"

90 MARVELLOUS CUREs.-We have always
been slow to believe the wonderful cures
which one medicine after another pretends to
have made-but slow as we are we, will own
up, when we are fairly convinced. Those of
our readers who are acquainted with the cas-
es of Mrs. Beech and Mr.. Farwell, will not
think us lightly turned, when we confess our
belief that Ayers Cathartic Pills have vir-
tues for purifying the blood which excel any
thing within the range of our acquaintance
hitherto For those who are not cognizant of
the facts, we will say: she had been afflicted
for over eight years with scrofula which only
grew worse, in spite Of all the remedies she
could employ, until she took Ayer's Pills.
Under their influence one after another of
her sores have healed, until she is apparently
as free from the complaint as ourselves
He has had liver complaint with pain in his
side that disabled him from work for long
time;. all other medicines had failed to afford
him any permanent relief but few doses of
Ayer's Pills cured him and he is now stcadi-
ly at his old post of conductor on the cars.

which is dictated by tie true interest of Great
Britain and the United States.
