"MrNERAL PoINr DEMOCRAT This
paper closed lis earthly career on the 9Th
inst. From Mr.. OILS, valedictory, pub
lished IN an extra Of that date, we make
the following extract:
- After two years hard struggle against
the difficulties of conducting Democratic
newspaper in this part Of the State, have
been compelled to suspend the publication

barrassmentS occasion in part by the load

careless about paying"
The closing sentence of this paragraph,
expresses, In few words, the main rea-
son why many country newspapers arc so
short lived; The liberal patronage of
men who are careless about paying"
Many persons appear TO act upon the
principle that all that Is necessary to keep
up Printing Office, is to give the Print
ct plenty of work, without once thinking
that II costs him anything TO do that work.
The man who employs Printer to do his
work, his advertising, or to furnish him
with newspaper, and fails to render
value received therefor, is no less
guilty of wrong than the man who buys
goods of the Merchant without intending
TO pay for them.
As IS expressed in the paragraph quot
ed above, Mr.. Gus has struggled hard TO
keep up the Democrat He has been at
tentlve 10 his business, industrious and
economical in his habits, serving his party
faithfully and with a zeal worthy of a bet.

fered with Mr.. OTIS upon political ques-
tons, and whatever feelings of luminosity
may have been occasioned by personali-
ties IN his editorials, we are free TO say
that The industry, frugality and incessanr
toll of Mr.. Gus, deserved Il better reward
Than that which has been meted out 10
him.
We find on our books very many lust
such patrons as those alluded to by Mr..
Gus IN his valedictory. We hope they

out any repose, our troops continued their
advance, and now described their antag-

guns with other, and two batteries, well
served, presented formidable appear

So strong, indeed, was their position,
that it was deemed advisable to turn it.,
and a short but painful movement was ex-
ecuted for the purpose. Hitherto the

THE PROSPECT POLITICALLY.

FEos all parts OF the State, the indications
Of the success OF the entire Republican State
Ticket, by a handsome majority, are the most
fattering. The governing influences of Bar
stowism in the Democratic State Convention
Were too apparent to escape the notice of the
honest voters of that party, who have ever been
opposed TO treasury plundering operations of
that distinguished faction of The party under
the lead of Barstpw and his tools and MANY,
very many, who have heretofore voted the De-
nocratic discriminating a large number of
the German voters of the State-have determine
ei ne longer TO vote for inen who advocate, or
even silently approve the course heretofore pur-
sued by many of the leaders of the Democratic
party IN Wisconsin. Others who disbelieye ia

where it was sanctioned by State laws have

party with whom they can sympathize that
question of Slavery.

profound silence, they cannot expect the sup

determined TO oppose the measures of the So
called National Democracy.
Again, some of the Candidates upon the De-
lnocyatic State Ticket may not approve of all the
acts of Barstow and his friends But it is we'll
known that those who do uphold the measures
Of his swindling administration, had, the entire
control OF the State Convention-that the first

REPUBLICAN EIrgAv,G tyCE.-The charge OF
extravaganza the staple of all eleclioneering
campaigns against the Republican, party. would
come with an i'll grace from any man who sus-
taIned the Administration of Gov. Barstow, even
were it fact that any person or party were
now obnoxious to it. So far IA the last Legis-
lature Is concerned, the charge is false. If II
were true, the Democratic party are at least
equally responsible, for every member of the
Legislature belonging TO that party did best
to increase the burdens of the people, by voting
in every for the largest appropriation pro-
posed for any object. This the Journals of that
body will show.
The State Tax this year is $4,000 larger
than last. This was 4 necessity, owing to the
enlargement of the Capitol and the appropri-
alton To the Blind aud Deaf and Dumb Asy lums,
for which all voted irrespective of party. When
this charge of extravaganza is reiterated, let it
be shown what has become of the money, and
whether any OF it has gone into the hands of any
of the forty thieves. Republicans challenge
