Junior" must excuse Us for SuppresSing
part Of his communication. Its publication
might breed dissensiens in our ranks, without
doing the least good. There are other and
more effeetuAl ways Of treating bOltcrs, Of des'
troying their influence and b!ighting thciI
prospects, than in publishing them. As Dem
Ocrata, solicitous for success In the great
struggle Of 1860, We should use all our efforts
to harmonic and unite, to win back those
who have thoughtlessly strayed from the true
faith, not drive them from Us. To achieve an
other and more brilliant victory we must DC
active, harmonious and indulgent not luke
warm, divided, and prejudiced againSt the
erring. A number ofthOse who worked against
Us at the last election, deceived and misled by
those in whom they had confidence, now see
the error they committed, regret that they
did not discover it earlier, and are ready and
willing to make ample atonement for theiI
fault: and to such We are free to extend the
hand Of fellowship But for the leading, con
scious, contracting Arnolds Of that period and
that treason. We have no present mercies noI

MEssRS EDITORS The untimely death Of
our neighbor and friend, Col. Thos Robert
son, has caused q vacancy in our Legislative
delegation, and as an election will probably
soon be ordered to I'll that vacancy, think
the Democratic nominee should be in the field
at an early day. The contest in this county,
even with q full turn out, will be close. 1t
was so at the late election, when the excite
ment was intense, and nearly all attended the
polls. do not think, at q special election,
we will poll within thousand votes rs many
as we did on the 7th of last month. The De-
mocracy have such an overwhelming majority
in both branches of the Legislature that
fear they will take but little interest in the
coming election. One member added to or
taken from our majority would not be felt
But wish to call the attention Of the people
to the fact that ii will be utterly useless and
senscess to send an Opposition member to
the Legislature. What good can he accom-
plishS He will find himselfin hopeless mi
nOrity, without influence, without friends
He cannot expect to be placed upon nm i'm
portant committee, or exert influence in
body that has no respect for his opinions, that
detests the faction that he belongs to. On the
other hand, elect Democrat, and he will be
among his friends, acting 10 concert with
those who are in the majority, who have the
power and the will to assist their friends.
Many bills Of Importance will be introduced
into the next Legislature, some at least ma
terialy affecting the interests Of FL Dorado,
and it behooves US as a people to be represen.
ted in that body by men Of influence and
whose partisan feelings are in accordance
with those Of the majority. Better not be
| renresentcd NJ all than nv IN 0nnosition men,
Der, who would be looked upon with suspicion
and distrust and treated as an interlOper
Will you permit me to suggest to the Cen
trail Committee the absolute necessity Of Civ
ing the nomination to q man who has the full
est confidence Of the Democratic party and
can draw out its full voteP presume that
the nominee will be taken from our Township.
or At least that the Central Committee will
consider our claims superior to all others,
provided we present an unexceptionablc can
didate. When do you intend to call meet
| ing Of the Central Committee to nominate a
candidatel Yours, w.

MrssRs. EpTroRs: You will pardon strange'
for few words complimentary to the people
of this small but pleasant village. Never II
nv life have been more pleased, especially IL
dull times, than since my arrival here. The
people are kind without display, social with
out extravagant gossip. and happy without ar
effort, You see nothing specially to attract
attention. Quiet and content seem TO be con-
slant and common. There Is none Of that
hustle which is sometimes noticeable in small
towns. nevertheless there is thriving bust
ness.like air and thrift observable everywhere
that cannot be overlooked by casual 0bser-
yer. Although the town has been destroyed
wear after year by Gre, scarcely q murmer is
ever heard, but each disaster seems to but give
additional vigor and enterprise 10 her citizens;
and while houses Of . pleasant appearance
have been swept away, more substantial ones
take their place, and now Georgetown SoIDe-
what resembles the small towns in the old
States. The neat frame has taken the place
of the hut, and the frame has been removed
for brick and stone. In brief period, ] think,
the town will be safe from fire, and boast oil
large; handsome, 6re.prOof buildings.
A tine three story brick is fast Fastening to
completion. Il is intended for . first class
hotel. and when finished will reflect much
credit not only upon the town, but upon the
owners, proprietor and builder. There are
two other brick buildings going up for stores;
in fact q general but gradual improvement
may DO seen in every direction. Gardens,
orchards and farms are ell being improved
The miners seem to be doing well, some say
better than they have done for. years. The
bitches, I am informed, furnish water the year
round, and the Agents on the bitches are gen.
tlemen who act fairly and justly, and give gen.
erAI satisfaction. Ills here you find families.

Speaking Of social society reminds me Of 6
Glee Club here, under the charge Of Mr.. Lo-
gan, which meets. | am told, every Sunday
evening, and discourses most chArmingly and
scientifically, selecting such pieces as are suit
able either for youth, manhood or age. The
performance Of the Club is enjoyed by an a:

meets. And last, though not Of least impor
