We will continue doing so. In this
issue of our paper we advertis, for a
partner, Il working man; if we sue

quite so operous. We want man

not ease us any. For the patronage
we have received thus far We are very
grateful and have no just cause of
complaint for the News sill !ive,h.
Since the above was put in type,

gentleman well known to this COM

soon make the requisite arrangements.
The following brave language we
find III the Courier, published at Sy-

despotism worse than any ever cxer-
cised by Napoleon is about being in
mnsnrated in the Saline city. The
Republican abolitonis.s, a short time

the freedom of speech! Rumors We're
rite during the night of Monday and
all day yesterday, coming from hot
headed Republican aboiitionists, that
our office should be "mobbed" and the
editor and publisher severely hand

popular public sentiment, unless ii be-

has submerged the country in civil
war, and brought disgrace' upon our
flag in the eyes of all Europe! There
are none more loyal to the constitn-
ton and the Union than those who
conduct the Courier and Union Yet
