ner, our present Sheriff and Register, simply
because they refuse 10 advertise in his pa
per, which sheet is SO utterly beneath their
notice. They explained 10 him, some time
ago, through our paper, why they did not
support his journal, but it appears that the
explanation was not satisfactory. 1t may
be possible that the Recommendation" es-
capped his visionary organs, as it appeared
through channel he does not wish 10 ac-
knowledge in existence. If we thought it
would be news 10 him, we should give it
another insertion. But 10 refresh his dull
apprehensions, we will state some of the
major objections:
In The first place he over charged for ev.
erything he done for them. (They both pa
tronized his machine when they first came
into office) AT one time he charged the
Sheriff in certain matter FokTY TWO DOL
LARS of which enormous bill he was only
entitled TO TWENTY ONE DOLLARS!
Another one we would have remember

ing, by the square, to only EeHr DOLLARS !!
he charged Twenty THREE DOLLARS !!
Now, sir, these are "FAcrs" that should be
Remembered" and cannot be denied, and
we have the herewith TO prove them. This
is one Of the causes why these officers do
not support the Columbia Democrat by their
advertising patronage. They both take his
paper, but it is rather marvellous, consider
ing the above facts, and that he attempted
TO make one of :hese men pay him for two
copies, when it was proven 10 this fallacious
editor that but one copy was subscribed for.
In the second place "let it be remember

towards the nomination OF these men-he
neither urged their nominations or support.

tions and in 1854, when Mr.. LEE was the
regular Democratic nominee for Register
and Recorder, he openly supported by pa
per and speech the Volunteer candidate for
| that Office and the same actions he perform
ed on the Commissioner question and now
has the impotence 10 present "igures" Of
that and following years, showing that the
STAR OF THE NoRTH-a paper that supported
the regular Democratic nomiees-received
few pennies more of County support than
the Democrat, his bogus sheet that had striv-
en- 10 elect the Volunteers, who were de-
feated. No other man but the one in ques-
ton, after conducting himself and paper in
the manner referred 10, toward these officers,
would possess that much cool impudence
as TO come out in "keep.it beiore-the people,
editorials, one afler the other, abusing these
officers and attempting 10 thrash them into
his support. This is very uugartefuI in the
Democrat, although it is nothing more than
it always has done-fought them.-and now
it is receiving lis reward, principal and in
terest. Where is the man or set of men
who would not act just as these officers have
after receiving such treatment?
The Democrat would have these officers
believe that the Democracy throughout the
County sym2aihise for him in this matter,
and that they denounce their proceedings,
such as advertisingin the STAR OF THE NORTH
and Columbia County Republican. We have
as yet the first Democrat TO hear complain
about how these men manage their adver.
tising. If there are any, we should think
them about as good Democrats as The editor
whom these officers are not patronizing.-
Although we will leave this for the inelli
geuce of the people TO decide.
There are some papers that claim TO have
very large calculations, and among thai
number is the Columbia Democrat He would
"let it also be remembered" that the SrAF
has :'scarce one half the circulation of the
Columbia Democrat" We would have il
Remembered" that This is an Internal lie
and The old hypocrte knew he was lying
when he penned it. This proves what we
have heretofore said OF him, shat nothing
was TOO small for him TO stoop 10 in order to
accomplish his ends" His paper has a
much larger circulation with EXCHANGE:
than has ours; but, as 10 its circulating
more extensively through this county than
the STAR, is without foundation-it does no
bear the least shadow OF truth.
This all.wise editor falls into another will
ful error when he sets out his table of "fg
ures," "since the STAR was established,
making this paper only nine years old
"Now, let it be remembered" if the STAH
survives six weeks longer it will have beer

this lamentable editor drop the year 1856
when the STAR received Sl3375 for county
printing. while the Democrat ouly received
$1,000. He ioots up the several amounts
paid the differen, Offices in the nine year:
that he would have his readers remember
the STAR was established, and discover:
that the STAR has received few dollars the
most and then like little boy, just off hi.

streaming down his cheeks, ''just give me
back some of that" the Democracy won'

ago? No, his actions were to fresh. But
