%. Wentworth, associate editor, with c. IL.
Paine, OF the Lincoln Advertiser. announces
hi, resignation Of his editorial duties, which
/, caused by want OF sufficient patronage
for the paper by the Republicans in ,ha, To-
eali,y. In his ,aledictory hc says;
Republicans follow falss policy-if they
desire success in their campaigns-in the
course they pursue towards their party or
sans. They can lavish their support upon
papers published at distance, which exert
no local influence, but they do not realize
the importance Of sustaining their home or
gans. This IL their vulnerable point. and by
/, they very often suffer defeat. In order to
have an interesting, and consequently inau.
entail paper, the friends Of the cause to
which il Is devoted should secure for !,
good list and each subscriber should prompt.
ly settle for bis paper in advance.
