TO THE REPUBLICANS OF CEDAR
818H COUNTY.

II il now over ten months since we became
connected with the ADVERTISER. During that
time We have labored to make paper that should
d,s.rre the patronage Of the citizens Of Cedar
County and help to strengthen the Republican
marty The result OF our efforts Is before yeu
You can Judge whether il has been successful or
not When we took hold Of the ADVERTISER,
the .hard times'' had not commenced, and we
reasonably hoped and expected that our business
would increase. Az il II, wo have no complaints
to make: - our list Of paying subscribers is as
large a. at any previeaf time, but our cash adver.
Using has greatly diminished; and although this
is Republican County, Republicans have helped
10 elect Democrats to otlics, so that while the
Democratic paper receives about $500 per an
/ num from the County officers we receive hardly
! 500 Ia view Of these facts, and the fact that
we are not receiving from the paper sufficient
/ sum to pay expenses, to say nothing of our own
| time and labor it il discouraging to publish the
largest paper, for the price that is published in
Iowa. While other papers, of smaller size, are
asking g. per year, we furnish the ADVERTISERS for
| Sl.50 10 you believe that the ADVERTISER is any
help to the Republican cause, and do you desire
10 see II kept up and improved IL We could
| afford to devote less manual labor to it we could
bestow more mental labor upon it. We find il ex-
ceedingly difficult to think and write when we
are compelled to thinkAnd puzzle orr brain to
find out how and where to get the money with
which to procure our next supply Of paper and
pay our hands. II publishers do trust their pat
rons. they cannot get trusted for labor materi-
ais with which TO keep Up paper;-it must be
cash down. or no sale.
Now is it unreasonable for US to ask each and
every Republican in this County to subscribe and
pay for the ADyg RTIsER, and endeaver to induce
his ncighbor to do likewise? We need and mus.
have to keep up the ADVERTISER as it should be
larger circulation. Ii it unreasonable in US to
ask the Republicans of this County to furnish us
a reasonable support five can get enough tc
pay our expenses-and we are not extravagsn
the first year, We shall lie more than satisfied
Will not our friends make little exerton in our
behalf.
We propose to furnish the ADVERTISER, Till the
first Of January, ls59, for the small sum or Sew.
enty Cents, and payment need not be made now
II some known and re sponsib,e person in eaci
neighborhood will become responsible for tn,
! payment by the first Of December next.

TemMramce.

We give, elsewhere, a petition which
was signed by two hundred and thirty
nine ladies Of Upton, and presented by
them to all who were supposed to be en-
gagged in the sale of intoxicating drinks.
1t should have appeared last week, but oil
hands had resolved to go blackberrying,
with the rest of mankind, and we had
not time to set it after it was handed in.
We cannot say that the presenting of it
did much good, but We hope that it has
and will lead those engaged in the traffic
to turn their attention to some less des-
tructive business, for theirs is destruc-
tive to the property of all concerned, ex-
cept perhaps themselves; destructive to
the soul, manhood, character and happi
ness of many of those who indulge in the
use of intoxicating liquors, and we can
not think that the liquor seller, the one
who puts the cup to his neishbor's lips,
should be held guiltless. 1t has been
said that Hmoral suasion will reach men
when the law will have no effect" This
may be true, but it is certainly true that
the law will reach men where moral sua.
sion will have no effect We believe in
proper use Of legal and moral suasion
it has worked well in Upton, and will
again if properly applied. Our neigh
Dor of the Democrat says, "The ladies II
Upton are engaged in glorious cause
! (see petition to seitcrs,) and Il en- adds
I'VE will venture the assertion that al
! the good that has been done in the TEN
perance cause was accomplished through
arguments and appeals addressed to tin
mind and conscience of those unfortu
nate people arho haze been leti estroy"-
which, being reduced to plain English
means this-"Ladies, you are engaged il
a glorious cause, lut it will amount t
nothing. Appeals to the liquor selle
never did and never will do any good
Your efforts should be directed alone t
those unfortunatos who have been le
astray.' You should not address any az

We find the following in the speech
made by Mr. LefIingwell, at Davenport:
"That the people who compose n Ter
ritory have all lived under State gov
eminent and carry with then into Terri
tory the same rights which they possessed
as citizens of a State, and that the mere
transition from enc place to another could
not change the character Of the man.
That the right to regulate the institutions
of a territory remained with the people,
and that the attempt of any power to in.
duce the people to make concession Of
this right was an attack upon the liber,
ties of the people.
Now we would like to know whether
the Cedar Democrat and the Democracy
of Cedar county endorse the above prop
ositions or principles?

A new Dodge.


One Of the most ingenious ways Of
stealing merchants goods, discovered
lately, is thus described by the Albany,
New York, papers:
A young lady there entered a grocery,
and after taking seat on a chair near the
counter, ordered variety Of articles,
which were wrapped up and handed her
by the attentive and polite store keeper.
As each package was given her, she
dropped it into an earthen vase which
she held in her lap. When she had
completed he purchases, she placed the
lid on the vase, and setting it on one end
Of the counter, requested the storc-koep
er TO allow it to stand there for few
minutes, while she attended to some bust
ness in the vicinity stating at the same
| time that on her return she would settle
the bill. Shortly after her departure, al
attendant of the store having some occa
sion to move the vase, it was found to b
considerably lighter than the number Q
articles placed in it would warrant, ans
on removing the lid the secret was dis
coyered-thero was no bottom to it! 4
is supposed that the ingenious female
had a pocket in the front Of her dress
| in which to place the articles handed I
her. It is needless to say that she di,
not return for her vase. ...4

A correspondent of the N. Y. Times
who appears to be well posted in matters
that recently transpired At Washington,
pfopounds the following knotty and sig
nihcant query in that paper Of the 9th
inst.
1t is fact that MIR Douglas, just be-
fore the vote was taken on the English
Lecompton bin, was SO cast down and un-
manned, that he cried about the "perse-
cution" to which he had been subjected,
and would have voted for that measure il
Col Forney had not arrived in Washing
ton just in time to brace him up to the
| point? The world ought to know if this
story is true, and it is commonly told by
men who were in Washington at the time;
for the Illinoisan cant be much of man
ii he has resort to tears.
When Mr.. Douglas or his friends shall
have given satisfactory answer to the
above question, we propose that he or
they undertake the tollowingY Is it a
| fact, that meeting of Anti-Lccompson
Democrats was held at the residence Of
Senator Frederick on the Sunday night
previous to the passage of the English
Bill at which Col. Forney was present
Is it fact that ut that meeting general
disposition was manifested to support the
English substitute, and that Sam. Cox,
of Ohio, aud others left the meeting un.
der the impression that such would b.
the final conclusion, going direct to tho
White House and giving in their adhe
sion to the President? Is it fact, thai
after Senator Douglas and all tie rest d

had signi6ed that they would accept tn.

arose to his feet and said in substance
