ular republican candidates.
Forsome days aflerthe County Conven-
ton we were led by the representations Of
one Of the best men in the west part Of
the county q believe DR.. ANGEL unwor-
thy Of our support and the public support,
at least until We could learn more Of the
man. The gentleman alluded to in the
west part Of the county and Dr. ANGEL
had q personaldispute, werep personally hos
tile, and at meeting between the two af-
ter convention the hostility became strong
ef. we heard both their statements and
though we had already prejudice against
Dir. ANGEL, we felt bound to hear him
and his testimony, give him a fair trial and
decide accordingly. We wrote letters to
two good, upright noa at Cassville, inqui-
ring about DR.. ANGEL and wishing 10
know from them The extent of his faults,
whether q man Of integrity, whether dis
honest, &c. Stating also in eur letters OF
inquiry that such and such were tie ale
CATIONS. Quite unexpectedly, their replies
removed most Of our distrust. We have
since eonyersel withseveral persons residing
about Cassvi!Ie, democrats and republicans,
and they give him about as good a reputa
ton as men are generally entitled to. It's
due also to correct our statement Of two
weeks ago, where We said the Cassyille del
egates did not support DIR. ANGEL in the
County Convention: we since learn that
some Of them did support him. 1t is fur
thennore due to Dir. ANGEL to remind our
readers that it is over three years since hc
resided at Cassville, and that since he left
there no man has earned q better or more
noble reputation at Potosi, where he has re-
sided over three years.
DR.. ANGEL has had his personal differ
enees with men, as we all have had; his
poverty and anxiety to rise therefrom, led
him to buy things on credit, and all Of his
old debts thus contracted have not been met
though he has paid several creditors since
leaving CassyiIIe. With some men, it is a
crime never to be atoned forto fail in pay
ing delts. A rule SO stringent would in
yolvc three fourths Of the voters of this
county and scarcely leave enough innocent
ones to,fill the offices. I've do hold That
some ofthe bestsmen inl the county have
seen theSday that' they could notpay one
per cent. IF their debts, and that they have
done some very mean thinss to-axoid debts,
to postpone payment, de. let most ofour
leading qeg, farmers, mechanics, merchants,
miners and lawyers lpok back upon them
selves whlle enyelepeQ IL poverty, sitting
il Tie doggery behind 9 riekety table, be-
heath a greasy lamp, looking poverty and

five years past, and our picture will meet
some Of them and Be q them more Iifs.like
than 70 Dr. ASGEII. ?Take thodemocfat-
&c ticket nominated 1t Lancaster on Tues
lay last and analyze if; take the very can
didate set up BY the democratic party for
Clerk Of the Board against DR.. ANGEL,
and compare the two in their past and pres
ent habits; we demand faithful compari-
son and investigation Of the two men,
for we know them both, and are confident
that Dr. ANGELO viii gain by such tests,
three to one. This much we will say how
ever, that VIC could trust either Of them, so
faras the duties Of the Office are concerned;
and where either is best known, respective
ly it Potosi and Lancaster, each would be
trusted as far as anybody. DR.. ANGEL
taught for some time the public school at
Potosi and closed with honors to himself
and satisfaction to patrons. For some two
wears he has been the partner Of John II.
Vance in the drug business at Potosi, the
latter gentleman having been deemed quail
fled il ability, sagacity and integrity as
the democratic candidate Tor County Treas
uyer two Yeas ago. During DR.. ANGELL's
residence at Potosi, he has been at the head
among other good men Of the place in ev-
cry moral enterprise that was offered for
the salvation of Potosi; his utmost energies
were epIisted from the first Of his appear
ance there till the present in the Temperance
reform, so necessary at that place God
knows; lie was one Of the fist in chat place
and we believe the first il this county to.
a lodge Of Tenplars, which order
is. sill doing work at Potosi.
