To THE BLACK REPUBMcANs.-Yo ought
to advertise in the STANDARD" and we will
tell you why. You want to reach every man
in the commonwealth the dollar of a Demo
crat is as good to you as the dollar of a Black
Republican. We have already 1900 subscri
bers, and they are increasing at the rate of
fifty day-our books are open to your in
spection-the paper is read every day by l0,-
600 persons, of whom $500 wouldn't touch
the Union with pair of tongs.
And you ought not only to advertise,in the
paper, but you ought to subscribe for it, too !;
and we will tell you why; because, although
it hits You some hard licks occasionally, it
doesn't abuse you without cause, is not per
sonal in the slightest degree, does you exact
and entire justice, and will wholesomely re.
lax that rigidity jaw which you inherit
from your Puritan ancestors-Sacra1aea
Standard
1t will be readily perceived by the last two
lines of the above, that the Standard "is not
personal in the slightest degree" Is the
Standard speaking for the Lecompton party
when it ridicules the descendants of the
Puritans?

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE.-Mss Char

morning last. She is said to have been en-
gagged to young man living in the valleys
below, and had her wedding garments ready
Her betrothed came to see her last week and
was stopping in town at the time of her dis
appearance She left taking no clothes with
her, and unseen by any one. Her disap'
pearance is shrouded in mystery. Miss
Lampe is young lady of good reputation
and her sudden disappearance has filled the
breasts of her friends with anxieties and fears
on her account.
We have heard it stated that her friends
offer reward of one hundred dollars for in

The SUNDAY LAw.-The Assembly on

Ivoted against the Sunday law last tyearand
can the more consistently vote against it
now, especially as the Supreme Court has
declared the past law unconstitutional. Mr..
Banks, in his speech drew a picture with
two sides to it, but he painted only one of
them He says that a great many persons
desire to close their stores, and would do so,
but some plaguey fellows Jew, or some fel
low of that sort, who has no conscientious
scruples on the subject-will keep his store
open on Sunday, and they therefore ask for
legislation against such sordid wretches. l
wish to ask the gentleman how high must
the morality of the man be, who being a
Christian, believes that the Sabbath should
be kept holy, and yet, because somebody
else who keeps an open store adjoining,
through fear he might lose few dollars, vo-
lates the command and neglects the observ-
ance of the Sabbath.
