More Reasons for Opposing Reuter-.
Since we commenced the publication OF
the Pilot, it has been our constant aim
ard desire TO make it true and faithful
representative Of the industrial interests of
the people, and at the same time politically
the organ of the Democratic party of the
county. We have never hoped, however,
to escape the censnres Of tie evil minded
whose personal interests clash with those
of the people or the party, and had we
done 80, We should have al good reason
to fear that we had failed to do our whole
duty. We have had to encounter the most
malicious administrative assaults from men
placed in Office by the Democracy, be-
cause we would not lend ourself 70 do the
work they required to perpetuate their
power.
Soon after we commenced our career as
editor in this county, we had the good or
illfortune TO receive from the United States
Marshal for the District of Wisconsin, the
appointment as one of his Deputies. This
appointment was conferred upon US by the
Marshal for reasons which were most as
suredly good and sufficient in his mind,
and we know if We had failed to discharge
our duty, we should have been discharged
from our office. That we were not so dis
charged is not owing to the kinl offices
of certain democratic officials Of the coun
tv, as will be seen by the following COM
munication addressed to the United States
Marshal, rem oEstrating against his confer
ing upon us "any other or further ap-
poiutment or position" THIS was sent to
the Marshal early last Spring:
To tie Hon. J. II Le,cts, z, S Marshal for tie
District Of Wisconsin.
The undersigned Democrats of Mantle
Voc County would respectfully represent
hat Jeremiah Crowley, Deputy Marshal
Coz the County of Mantowoc, is now the
editor and publisher of the Manitowoc
Pilot-that said paper was started during
the summer of 1859; that we are convinc
ed by the course of said paper, that its ob-
iect has been, and is to create faction in
the Democratic party which shall be used
for the personal advantage its editor and
certain other persons who have become
odious to the Democratic party of this
county; that said paper by its repeated
appeals to the national and religious pref
udices of the Irish is driving away from US
large propotion of the German vote of
this county. That we have positive proof
that the said Crowley both in person and
by letter appealed to the Irish voters in
the several towns in this Comfy to defeat
any and every candidate for the office of
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors at
the last Town Meeting who would not
pledge himself to support the "Piiof'
as the official paper of The County. That
in some of the towns the efforts Of said
Crowley and bis associates resulted in the
defeat Of Democrats and the election of
Republicans. We believe that the infu
ence of sail Crowley and his said paper
is Injurious to the party in this County
We believe also that any prominence or
position given to said Crowley is but ad
ding to his power to 10 evil.
Believing that we actually foresee the
result, to which the course of The Pilot is
contributing, we take the liberty Of re-
monstra'ing respectfully against comforting
upon the said Crowley of any other or
further appointment or position. Signed ::
