PLEADS GULL

trict, admitted that he, in company with
his employer went to a K. N. lodge at
GAINESVILLE, Wis. for initiation into its mys-
teries, its oaths, and its bitter hostility to
the foreigner; but he said he did not
join, because the lodge was not in ,oorking
order. W. hope the gentleman does not
pretend but that he knew the object of
that order was to debar the foreigner of
all rights, civil and political, and still as
pire to a seat in the legislature! But
taking him at his word, we must give him
credit for a great deal of ignorance, or
come to the conclusion that he was as
we have charged-a Know Nothing in
sentiment, and that he went to a lodge
for the purpose of joining, with a full
knowledge Of its purposes toward the hon.
est foreigner, and that he was only deter
ed from carrying out those hostile pur-
poses in practical effect, when the strong
arm of Democracy had strangled his ia
vorite bantling and asserted and success
fully maintained the rights of the foreign
born to equal privileges with the native
citizen.
But he says he wants to be elected, and
we don't doubt it; but it seems to us that
a few grains of political honesty would
accomplish full as much in that direction
as the hypocrisy so glaringly displayed.
Why did he not come out like a man, adj
NIT his former adhesion to Know Moth
ingism and renounce it, when the fact is
known to almost every old settler in the
village that he made no scruples of his
hostility to the foreigner on his advent
here!
Will the foreigner be gulled by his
newborn love!
Since the above was in type we have re-
ceived the Mitchell County Republican,
containing a letter written by Mr.. Sabin,
in which occurs the following remarka-
BILE admission:
Il freely admit that while an imployee for a
merchant in GAINESVILLE, Wis, I was led by nv
employer, without my knowledge or consent, in
to Q room where several members of that order
had met to effect q reorganization"
W. submit to the voters of this district
and especially to the foreign-born wheth-
er a man who could thus be led, is safe
to be entrusted with a position, where to
be led in the direction of an infamous re-
gistry law, such as the Republicans at
tempted to pass at the last session of our
Legislature, would be safe! It seems to us
that to entrust him with the position to
which he aspires would be the most sui
cidal act that the foreigner could perform
in using the elective franchise. An open
and avowed enemy let them remember,
is less to be feared than one who comes
in the sacred guise of friend, and act &C.
cordingly.

Mails.-We frequently receive let
ters from our subscribers complaining of
the deficiency in getting this paper.
The following extract of a letter from
G. P. SARGENT, is a sample of others.
"Can you tell ne tho reason that we
do not get the Journal more regular
1t usually comes about two weeks after
its publica ion, but lately it does not do as
we'll as that. Tuesdays mail brought
Nos. of March 23d, 3Oth and April 9th.
We do pot blaine You for the delay, but
we would like to know the reason of such
delay. We get New York papers ofabout
the same date much sooner.
Our mail goes regular to Prescott on
Saturdays and many times on other days
and the reason Of our not getting our own
county paper sooner is question which
you, if you can, will please answer"
Now the JOURNAL is mailed every
Wednesday forenoon and goes to Hud on
the same day. 1t should go to Prescott
on Thursday, where it would be in read
mess for the Trimbelle mail of the same
week. lit fails to do this. the fault
must be at Hudson OF Prescott AID we
hope the Postmasters at those places, will
do us and our subscribers the favor to see
that the mail is forwarded regularly
There can be no possible excuse for such
delays as Mr.. Sargent speaks of.
