didate for the Legislature, saw fit TO pro-
claim publicly in this city, and privately
throughout the CO 'nty, previous TO the day
of election, that we refused to print his
election tickets. We enphatically pro-
nounced it a base falsehood, when public
ly uttered. and had he not so widely circu-
lated it, we should not have deemed I
wor. by a passing notice. We have always
maintained that a printing office to a certain
extent, is public property, and as far as
printing and advertising are concerned,
we have extended to all, the same accom-
mo1ations, without regard to political or
personal fri ndship and we shall con-
tinue on this principle, should we live to
be old enough TO be Me,heusela's great.
grand father.
We had an understanding with the
candidates, except Steinberger, who has
never said q single word to us about print
ing his tickets but when we were solic-
tied to print the tickets for the various
candidates, we informed the person that
brought US the " copy that we should not
print Steinberger's tickets unless he would
hold himself responsible, or that
Steinberger would pay for printing. He,

seeing an opportunity to make a little
capital, by becoming a martyr, set out like
a prosecuted saint, to excite the sympa-
thies of the public, by giving his version,
of the affair, till finally he came near
believing his own fabrication, and for a
length of time, it is presumed, he imag-
ined himself to be a greater martyr. even
than Martyr Luther. We are informed
that Steinberger went so far as TO assert
that he rendered us money in payment for
his printing, which we refused. We con.
slider it unnecessary to deny the charge,
as we should conclude hat we were a fit
candidate for a mad house, to r,fuse
money, in these hard times.
S~,einberger has almost comprised heav-
en- and earth 10 secure an election, and
hardly a stone was left unturned, that
promised aid and comfort. Even his pa
,ernal ancestor asserted that he had edu-
catei the boy expressly for the Legislature
but thank heaven, the people have declar-
ed tina, the boy had better remain at home
till he had reached at sleast the age of
puberty.
We appeal to the good sense Of the
people of this county, to know if ii
does not look a lutte presumptuous in a
boy that has hardly dispensed with swad-
ding clothes, to put himself on an equality
with men =? and ask their sutferages for a
position that would enable him to make
laws to govern his superiors? The PEE
pie of this County have always preferred
to be represented by men, and we think
that will be their preference. for some
time to come
1t may seem unkind in us, to rejoice III
the downfall of others; but we rejoice only
when structures that are built o false
foundations. obey the supreme law Of
grayitation, and find a common level.
We learn tina, considerable fever anc
ague prevail in various parts of the Ter
ritory. People cannot be too careful res
pecling their diet. and ablution, if they
wish to avoid sickness. IAN an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure
is a maxim that will be well to follow.
