"The Farmer Of last week compliments us
with lecture cf more than column, placing
us under renewed obligations, which we have
not time to liquidate just now. ."-Rcpublicdn
You are entirely welcome, ncighbor; you
can "liquidate" at your leisure.
"We have no defense to make for anv man
engaged in plundcring the public treasury,
and sincerely hope they will be treated as
traitors-Republicans as well as Democrats.
We do not say this class Of men all belong to
mat party; they go wherever they find their
services receive the richest reward. d.-RcpubR
can.
This, neighbor, is a right smart chance
OF como down. Three weeks ago you de
MED that Republicans were guilty Of frand
on the Treasury. We like your idea of treat
log tho Treasury robbers as traitors Now
do, that's good soul, ''pitch in, - and secure
the reward of traitors to the thicyng Blacl
Republican scoundrcls who arc deyourinl
the substance Of tho people. Publish the
speeches delivered by DAWES, THOMPSON and
other Black Republican members of Con

VINO are staggering under the weight Of thcir
stealings. Do, by all means, publish the
report made by an Investigating Committee,
composed of majority of Republicans, which
shows FREMoNT's transactions in the Depart-
ment Of the West. Vcntlato somo of CAM
ERoN's transactions, show the frauds proven
upon him by tho Committee composed of n
majority of his party friends; publish the
resolutions of censurc passed by Congress;
lecture cold Abe". for appointing him Minis
ter to Russia with full knowledge Of all this
weight of guilt hanging upon him withhold
not the rod from a Republican Senate for
confirming the appointment OF SIMON; fire
one of yonr ponderous bombs into the mul-
titude of army contractors, paymasters, &c.
whose guilty souls are covered with corrup.
tions even as the waters covercth the great
deep, and the eilinvia OF whose dcplctons o
the treasury, escaping through their nimsy
cloak OF patriotism, smcllch horribly in the
nostrls Of plundcred pcoplc-yea verify,
smcllcth as would a mountain Of exasperatcd
polecats. Tho columns of tho RcpubHcan
have always been closed against any expose
OF these frauds Now, ncighbor, since YOU
"sinccroly hope they will bc treated as trait
ors,' touch them on the raw, have them
hung, as YOU would have other traitors, and
the army Of nggers which the Abolition
Republicans want TO SEQ imported to In,
Northern States would be insignificant in com

friends will grow but we will stand at your
back
