for some profitable reflection. Iii. this:-
when parties and party organs degrade

The idea is that political paper. a paper
which supports the politics OF one OF the
great parties, loses thereby its independence
snd sacrifices its honesty. A charge Of the
kind made against an individual is jnst as
sensible and tenable. A political newspa
per can he, and for the most part il. just a:
independent in its political sentiments Al
one which processes to have no politics.
An individual joins party because he think
that party right on aques,ion which has two
sides He Is Independently party man
A newspaper holds to the party its conduct
or thinks right and can be independent,
right. A proclamation Of independence doe
not make independence. or at least the self
called independent press are not whi
more independent than an honest Democrat,
paper or an out and out Republican one
Independence is nothing more or less thai
an honest expression Of opinions and con
viction,, and this can be done by party pa
per a. we'll q. by one which claims to be no
or any. side in politics.
We notice that none Of the independen
press ever get independent enough tt

THrEvEs.-The details Of robbery and the
rumors Of stealing are SO common on the

never so short, is in danger and dread Of q

Fable.

We would respectfully call The attention
OF the editors of the Republican to the
following fable to be found in Esop's COL
lection:
An Ass (differenS from the two legged one
that wrote for the Republican last week
finding Lions skin, disguised himself
therein, and ranged about in the Forest
After he had diverted himself for some
time he met Fox, and being DESTROYS to
astonish him, he leaped at him with some
herceness. and endeavortd to initiate the
roaring of Lion, the same that the Mat
tingly boys try to initiate the roaring Of
their daddy Your humble servant sir. ;
said the Fox, If you had held your tongue
/ might have taken you for Lion. as 9TH
er solks did. but now you bray. kmow
xho you are!
MonAL-We perceive from this fable
how proper it is for those to hold their
tongues who would net discover the shall
lswuess of their understandings.
