The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1858-10-23
The Ottawa Republican.

What beautiful! specimens Of honesty are
the editors ofthe Ottawa Republican how
enviable their position! Week after " eek,
month after month, previous to an IMPORT
ant election, their time is devoted to the in
terest of the adopted citizens Of our country.
They stand as it were, as sentinels on the
watch tower of their rights. advocating SEN
timents they would have them believe were
intended for their benefit, whilst sticking
the dagger into their vitals deeper and deep
or every thrust they make.
The most barefaced hypocricy eyer ex-
hibted by a set Of men who claim TO be the
par.excelence of decency, was that OF the
editors of the Republican, in the issue OF
Saturday last !; yet this was done in such a
way as to throw dust in the eyes Of those
whose interest they would have them be-
lieve, they had at heart. In that article an
assertion is made that DIR. McGorrisk, the
Democratic candidate for coroner. was to be
sacrificed by the Democrats. Let US look AZ
/ this assertion for a moment, and as we pass
| along, would state, were it not for the de-
]
conceive the " etTusions cfthe BRAIN in that
article, of sufficient importance to notice 1t;
we ask, who is DIR. McGorrisk to be sacri-
feed for? The editors of the Republican
can't tell, or they would have done So
Now we say, IN all truth and sobeincss,
there is no Democrat worthy Of the name,
that will hesitate a moment to cast his bal
lot, pure, unauthorized and unscrstchcd,
for the nominees of hi, pnrty-ve have no
quarrels here, among ourselves that would
Justify any man in dividing the interest of,he
party; We are fighting for victory undivid-
ed, with the inscription upon our banner
the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing
but the ticket. Who will attempt to gain
say this declaration who: None but
those miserable panderers Of fa'sehood and
malignity-the editors Of the Ottawa E>pub-
lican and their kin
We have said that the editors Of that pa
per were throwing dust into the eyes o!
those whose interest they were apparently
advocating this charge will always stand
good against them, when you see them ad-
vocatng the interest OF the adopted citizen,
for they dcspise this portion Of our comrnu
nity with q ueanness known only TO an in
tense hatred Dr. McGorrisk is young
man and Physician, whose qualification
for the Office Of Coroner, is as good as his
Republican competitor one in whom tn.
Democratic party repose confidence, for a
faithful discharge of the tiles of the sta
ton, should he be elected one whom the
Democracy intend to support with all the
power they possess, and one they cheerful
" recommend to the favorable consideration
I, Of every democrat in the county fpr the Of
, fec he has been nominated. We appeal tc
you, adopted lens, no, to be dc ceved b,

leaders would ike you to drink freely Of.
The republicans in This city, in their ca
gerness TO scratch you from the Democrat

: they scatter SO beautifully, as they think
but their hypocri,ical professions are easil,
known. Stand by the landmarks that hav
