II is noticeable too, and somewhat sim
guar that the only persons placed on the
Union ticket last year, that the Courier
finds fault with, were Douglas Democrats.
He intimates that they are "of such
dough head material that they can easily
be worked over to the party in power"
Does the Courier make this attack upon
them because they heartily endorse the
policy of President Lincoln and his adj
ministrationf
If the editor of the Courier desires, he
can get up party in this County in OPP

icy. He will find it very easy task
