was not because we did not think
them worth Of q place in our, COL

get them in one number of our pa

appear in, a small weekly paper
like ours, andrto continue a story
in a country paper is something
that we never did approve Of
When we SAID that they would suit
such papers as the New York

just what we said, for we honestly
believe that they are equally as
good as one half of the stories that
appear in either of those journals.

H.
Well, we suppose you are all, by
this time, well aware of. the fact
that the election, withralLits tolls
and turmoils, is over. We, like the
King Of France, with forty thous-.
and men, marched up the hill and
then marched down again. We
have met the enemy and we are
theirs. But, laying aside all jos
ting, we find ourselves in q fearful
financial crisis the result ofthe re-
cent election; one that threatensdis-
truction to every commercial inter
est Of the whole country. We find
a Estate of political excitement, and
sectional feeling existing, that has
no precedent in this country. Sec
ton airrayed against section, brother
against brother, and in fact nothing
short of anarchy prevailing every
portion Of this great confederacy.
Truly, as in the days of darkness
with the jews, Ichabod reigns.-
But let us hope still for better
things. The Republicans have, by
one third ofthe people, managed to
pull the wires 50 as to foist upon us
their rail1splittcr boatman for Pres
ident. But he must of necessity be
powerless. The great conservative
element amongst the people is SO
we'll represented in both branches
ofthe National Legislature that it
will be utterly impossible for Mr..
Lincoln to, out any Of his ul-
try doctrins. lie cannot even APP
point a single Minister without the
consent Of the Senate, which will
never confirm the appointment Of
one. of Mr., Lincoln's favorites. The
different branches. of the govern
ment are 20 we'll balanced, that VIZ
deem it almost certain that Mr.
LincolnIs administration if supper
ted, as it should be, will be nc
worse than the last,?andq perhaps
much better. We therefore urg I
