Thanks to the Pre- IS

On the part of the Scott County Ag-
ricultural Society, We desire to tender
our thanks to the press Of the State ior
the very liberal and friendly manner in
which it has noticed our coming C5un-
ty Fair. Now, in addition to this, We
have to ask another favor, and that is,
that every editor who has received a
complimentary ticket, as we'll as those
who have not, will be present on the oc.
casion. We would not invite an editor
to any place to get bored-they have
enough of that at home-but to place
where they will find something of real
interest, something that will serve to
amuse them and enlist their attention.
We, of the Scott, are not disposed to
boast, but We claim to give very respect.
able Fairs. Ours is hourishing Acri.
cultural county, and our citizens have
become interested in the matter of nice
exhibitions. We will endeavor to please
all, aud particularly do We feel interest.
ed IN having the press well Represented
here. Come ard see US, and if you are
not pleased with the entertainment we
provide, go home and say SO, and we
small honor you for it. The criticism Of
the press Is what we desire for our Ex-
nioit'ons. Come and examine for your
selves.

A SINKING CAUSE.

The day OF the reign Of Black Kepub.
licanism is steadily drawing to close.
We have seen its dawn 10 abolitionism,
its forw ard and upward progress, and
Its meridian splendor Its progress was
slow. For years it was striving toi the
ascendancy, and it gareI it only to
find yawning guilt at the facing the
apex Of It's greatness. The antl.-iavery-
lists OF the Eastern States laid its tounda-
ton. The corner stone was laid in
Massachusetts soon after the law which
abolished the slave trade went into ef
feet. This point is too well known to
require discussion. With that party
other factions of sore heads affiliated.
until it grew great and strong. 1t was
made up of the cuttings and parings Of
all parties-the refuse and odds and
ends OF every ism that turned up. That
such an aggIomcration can succeed in
becoming greater than another and more
pure organization has Teen prov
and the proof that the GER,
building it up 10 NO. 80
topether ..cnt used in

IS now being practically
demonstrated. The organs which rep
resent it are playing each game 70
suit itself. Some are denouncing the
action Of the administration OF Their
own making, others are declaring that
the time for party organization has
come to an end, express q desire to quit
and 90 in for something else. Its lead
ing men are unable to tram together
and those who bring up the rear have
ideas OF their own which are not by any
means consonant with the great party
idea. Every day We discover fresh
evidences that that party is fast crnmb'
ling into ruins Those who have got
grip upon the loaves and fishes denounco
the action Of those who have not, and
those who have not that hold, stoutly
accuse those that have, with mercenary
motives and nnpatriotic desires. /
every man in the Republican party
could stand at the crib and take his pub
lie provender-all would 90 well, but
unfortunately for it the national trough
is not long enough for such accommodate
ton, and hence the gougcing, boiling
kicking and squealins of those who can
not approach the provendcr.
The hand writing is cmbazoned upoI
the wall, and the word has gone fortl
that honesty and integrity is wanting
The cause is sinking the organization
crumbllng in pieces Of its own rot,el
weight. Let the old Democratic guar,
bide its time. There is 10 call for lie
termined charges or efforts on its par,
Their enemy carries in It's own organi
cation the germ OF destruction, and
will not be long ere the day OF its dis
solution will be celebrated.
