Put This and That Together.

We beg pardon Of our readers this week
for noticing so much at length the 18th
and other Nos. Of the Washington Repu6li-
oan. We desire toIgive but a vsry brief pre-
lude, consequent upon the necessity which
we think the task imposes. A desire to
vindicate the truth Of history"-to meet
and battle against error and falsehood in
its strong holds, and to sustain the nomi-
nees and the immntable principles Of the
democratic party, must be our excuse for
entering upon the disgusting task Of taking
any notice Of the aforesaid RePubliean pa
per, whatever. Wherever the coniribu-
tors to its columns are known, the H6els
contained il its columns are also knOi1n
and appreciated. Where the hands that
man the destiny Of that paper are un-
known to the masses and hid from public
view, 1t is not unnatural that due amount
Of credehce might attach to its bold, bare
faced SANDERS.
We desire that it should be "kept before
ne pegplt," that the Republican nominee for
congress in our territory, D. r. BIeELOw,
Esq. and J. P. KELLER, are the Publishing
oonnuiiis Of that paper.
And furthermore, we desire It to be
''keps bsfors ne pserls,D that b. R. BIGELow,
Esq. gave testimony to gentleman Of
this place. against the course Of that paper
in the matter Of its personalities, and its
gross defamation Of private character.
Aud We want it, that i. should be kept
before the people" that Hon. A. s. AB-
ERxETHv, their candidate for congress, is
another member Of the publishing board
alluded to; and we desire that It should be
kept sirialy before the people that ]. P,
KErLER, Esq, is member Of the publish
ing committee, and that he signed docu
ment IN vindication Of the course and con.
duct pursued by Gov. Stevens in the late
Indian war This, then. is the pa5lishins
committee Of the Republican, We hop,
that oil the readers Of that paper will dc
as We do. keep files Of the paper until il
shall be called to a fnal account-until il
shall be called home.
The major part Of the argument offered
BY Mr. ABERSErHY, whilst it was conduct
ed in civil and gentlemanly manner, be-
coming his former life and station, certainly
contains some passages, which, as pub
hshed in the Republicans, cannot be sus.
tained BY argument, common sense, or the
Constitution Of the United States.
