The Republicans susPending Bust
Men. r- &
A few days ago the leader of the German
Red Republicans of this city asked well
known saddler and harness maker of the
city, how he was going to vote for Presi-
dent, who replied that ne should vote for
Douglas. Z" Well then,' says this tolerant
Republican, q shall 6u9 no more harness
Of you."
The gentleman thus to be prescribed was
not in earnest when he said be was going
to vote for Douglas, and intended voting Tor
Lincoln, but when he discovered the bad
and intolerant spirit that animates the Abo-
htionists, he made up his mind to support
Douglas in earnest, and will give him one
honest vote this fall
The gentleman who refuses to buy any
more harness of Douglas men, is now spoll-
en- of prominently by the Republicans of
this county as candidate for Sheriff. If
he runs he will be anxious enough to get
Democratic votes, but must signally fail in
the attempt.
This thing Of prescribing business men
on account of politics may become a two
handed game, the Democrats being compell-
ed, in self defense, to pay off the Republi-
cans IN their own coin. There is not busi-
ness establishment of any kind in the city
conducted by Republicans, that is not main
ly supported by Democrats and they could
every one be starved out in short time if
the Democrats were as mean spirited in
these business matters as the Republicans.
There are men fattening in this town upon
the patronage of Democrats, who could be
made as lean as the leanest of Pharoah's
lean kline if their Democratic customers
would resolve not to deal with them, and
they'll do it yet, unless the Republicans
come to a proper appreciation of the obliga-
tions they are under to Democrats.
We do not advise to Democrats for the
present the proscriptive policy commenced,
and indeed, commonly practiced by the Re-
publicans, but we advise them to SUSTAIN
DEaocRATIo EsTABLIsHM ENTs, AT ALL EVENTS.
Let no man suffer in business for supporting
Douglas when you can make nearly every
business house in town an anti-Abolition
Institution if you will There are not
enough of the standing shirt collar Repub-
lieans in town to support a family grocery,
and yet they talk about prescribing the par
ty to whom they owe their living and pros
perity.

to remind the secessionsls that they
should look well to their profit and loss
account with the Union, and that If they
do so they will find in the States named
above, that whereas they pay three cents
postage on each Of their letters, the cos
TO the Union is nine cents. We OF the
Union have 10 pay six cents upon each of
their letters Cincinnati Commercial.

Tho President says, Tho general heai'h

that "the Union of tho States, which is The

is it? We knew the Union was very val.
liable, but we never before thought of fail

eral. The recommendations and suppes.
lions which they contain arc highly valuable
and deserve your careful attention.
The report of tho Post Master General
details the circumstances under which Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, on my request, agreed, in
the month of July last, to carry tho ocean
mails between our Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. Had he not thus acted, this i'm.
pOrtant intercommunication must have been
suspended, at least for a season. Tho Post.
muster General had no powor to make him
any other compensation than the postage
on tho mail matter which he might carry.
lt was known at the same time that these
postages would fall far short of an adequate
compensation, MS we'll as of tho sum which
tho same service had previously cost tho
government. Mr.. Vanderbilt. in com
Inendablo spirit, was willing to rely upon the
justice Uf roncrass to make up Tho de-
ficioncy; and therefore recoun,rand that
an appropriation may bo granted for this

the United States, public property worth
many millions OF dollars, and TO individuals

1t has been represented TO mo, from
sources which l deem reliable. that tho in

been reduced to nearly state of starvation,
on account of tho almost total failure of
their crops. while tho harvests in ovory

abundant. The prospect before them for
