Another REPUBLICAN PAPER.-Repub.
lican papers are growing as thick as black
berries in this village. The Herald, which
has been waverIng in its political doctrines
for months past, has finally come out bold
ly for Black Repu5licanism, by publishing
SEwAED's speech and endorsing it editori-
ally. There are now four Republican pa
pers published in Manitowoc, viz; the
Herald, edited by c. w FlrCH the Tri-
June, bv General S. w. SMITH the DEM
ocrat, by CuAs ResER; and the Union, by
Orro TReMEL; the two former are pub
lished in the English, and the two latter
in the German language. The Pilot is
now the only Democratic paper printed in
the county. We fear our humble abilities
will not enable us to cope with so many
political adversaries. But zoe ,ciH try 1t i!
1t is understood that this new change
in the Herald is bid for the retention of
its editor as Deputy Collector under Mr..
LIHCoLS.

of the immediate completion of Harbor

soon repented.
We have already expressed our views
on the importance to the people Of the
county Of the early construction of Har-
Dor, and cheerfully endorse the above
method Of arriving at their feelings upon
the propriety Of receiving aid from them.
We still insist that every farmer is pecu-
ntarily interested in the matter; and that
when they take a liberal and enlightened
view Of the subject-wEen they properly
estimate the dollars and cents which they
have already lost, and Will lose every year
for the want of a Harbor-they will viii

project. At any rate, the meeting should
be largely attended 10y the citizens Of the
