The general health Of our neighborhood

the night of 1860 will be here, tefore they
know it, and then no work can be done, or
at least not SO successfully as at present.
Although my friend CHARLES F. SH7E
FER offered resolution, to admit your pa.
per into the republican union as an organ,
and that resolution was opposed by those
who deem themselves high in power, we,
here in Amanda, think for ourselves, we
act for ourselves, and we are responsible
for what we do. What harm was there
in the SHGFFER resolution? Does not his

the Republican party, and advocate its sup

not. you are an advocate of the Republican

people. democratic in the principle, that
any man or set Of men who pretend to lead
a partys and only lead il for their own use
are not the ones we want. We want men
at the helm who act only from patriotic
motives, and who without fec. emolument.
or reward, are willing to stick to the ship,
even unto sinking. and who on the billowy
ocean will forever cry, ''sink or swim,
survive or perish. live or die," we will
proclaim for liberty in its widest sense, op.
pose all its enemies and never swerve from
our exalted position in keeping pure the
fountains Of legislation. and resisting the
