an honorable regard for each others repu
tation Instead of endeavoring to degrade
the character of those members of the fra
ternity with whom We may disagree in sen

that respect for each other which would
tend 20 elevate the reputation and advance

business with ourselves.
The Wilkes Barre Times has some
observations respecting City advertising

INTERESTING TO PUBLIC OFFICERS
We see it stated that Secretary Cobb, in
a letter to gentleman holding high of
hce under government, declares that the
first duty Of any gentleman holding posi-.
ton under his department, is to the goc-
er"ment and to the people, aud not to The
party TO which he may happen to belong
He then adds,
Holding, as you do, an office of great
pecdniary responsibility, aud one requi-
ring your constant personal attention, /
can not sanction the proprie,y Of f.your aJ-
se"ce from your l'ost .for the purpose of an
act'ee engagement IN the approaching elec-
Hon Of your State. No one regards with
more interest than do the success of the
national Democratic party, at this period
IN our history. But that success must
not be purchased at the expense of the
public interest, which might be the case
if those holding high and important Offices
should absent themselves from their post
to conduct the canvass"
This is doubtless correct doctrine but,
riU at be carried out ? is the question:
We trust 1t may, not only in the Depart
ments at Washington, but also in the
Custom Houses, Post offices &c, through.
out the country. Then the public inter-
ests will not suffer as they have, nor will
individuals be the losers by official dein-
quency. Officers are sworn, and should
never neglect or turn over their own du-
ties to Deputies, but should attend to their
own sworn duties, as far as possible

Perhaps the above will be proof enough
to satisfy the most stupidity incredulous,
that Government has already established
Slavery in Kansas, in defiance of "Popular
Sovereignty" This George W.Clark has
an Office under pay from the national trea-
sury-you and l, reader help support
him.
