County Papers.

A subscriber from the northern part of
the county writes us to discontinue his pa
per. as he will not take II at the present
price. He says. Il like your paper very
much. but you have too many advertise
ments. and am already taking three pa
pers at three dollars year"
We thank our kind friend for his COED
opinion Of our paper. and submit TO him .
few reasons why he and all other citizens
Of the county should continue to support
il.
l. Is newspaper necessary TO Q csun-
ty? To this question every intelligent
person must give an affirmative answer. A
county without newspaper would be like
a clock without dial--like q mau without
voice. 1t is true one might ascertain the
hour indicated by clock by watching its
wheels, counting the number of revolu.
tions, and marking the cogs: also. . dumb
man can make himself understood to GER
tain extent by signs and motions. but the
process in both instances would be far from
pleasant or satisfactory.
So also man may bring himself into
communication with his fellow citizens by
personal visitation. or by sending letters or
circulars. but the process is laborious. and
at best very unsatisfactory.
There is no one of any intelligence but
is personally interested in knowing some
things that can be found every week in his
county paper The progress Of politics-
who are candidates for the various Offices
what has been done with the money col
lected for taxes--the times of elections
the reasons pro and con for the various
public mprovements-the sales Of proper

and marriages-and thousand other
things that will readily suggest them-
selves to the minds Of every ono.

in day or two" Very we'll, but sup
pose your neighbor and everybody else in
the country should initiate your example

this, we have two answers to make.

When that letter first saw the light last

was looked on as not admitting of apollo

Government. at such a time TO write let

to shake the confidence Of almost any man

Poor Bright He is rich, but that will
avail him nothing. He cannot purchase
the confidence Of the people of Indiana

The Democratic Press on Bright.


There seems to be want of unity in sen.
timent among the Democlatic papers ol
Indiana in regard to the justice Of Bright's
expulsion from the Senate. We copy be-
low the comments of the two principal
Democratic papers in this Congressional
District, for the purpose of letting our
readers see how they regard the matter. as
well as to place our neighbor's sentiments
on record. for future use. One. the Lo-
ganspor Pharos. seems to think that
Bright only had simple justice done him.
whilst the other. the Democrat of this
place. thinks he (Bright) is martyr and
deserves the sympathy of every good Dem
ocrat. When doctors disagree who shall
decide? Here is the opinion of DIR. Pha-
ros:
THE LATE SENATOR BRIGHT.
Last week the United States Senate, by
vote of 80 ayes to IA nays, expelled
Bright from that body.
While we regret that one whom the De-
mocracy of Indiana took from obscurity,
has proven unworthy of the position and
honor bestowed upon him, YET we think
there will be few tears shed in Indiana over
his death as public man. Bright and the
few partisans who still fawn around him,
mag attempt to consider il blow at the
Democracy. but they will utterly fail
+ Bright's talk about appealing tn the De-
mocracy of Indiana is the sheerest bun
combe, and Its utterance feeble falsehood
The great mass Of the Democracy Of Indi-
ana have had no sympathy or confidence in
him for the past four years, and their only
regret is that some true Democrat was not
elected in his place. Had such been the
case. the Democracy would not now find
themselves deprived of their voice in the
affairs Of the Matt n. Bright united with
the Republicans in 1858 to drive the patri-
OF Douglas out Of the Senate, and now he
has the poisoned chalice returned to his
own traitorous lips by the hand of his for
mer allies Haman's fate is acted over
That such has been his end will cause no
sorrow to nine-tenihs of the Democracy Of
Indiana and the Northwest.
Bright may attempt to excite sympathy
Ly charging that it is Black Republican
move. But he will not soon forget and
every Democrat should remember, that the
sterling Democrat and patriot. Andrew
johnson of Tennessee. who knows him
we'll. fel' that duty 20 his people and the
Union demanded that he should aid to ex-
pei Bright. and he so spoke and voted
Bright is an artful, inscriptions, cautious
man. and hence the only evidence of his
dis'oyalty over his own signature, is con-
tanned in the following letter:

The New STATE OF DEsERET.-The Mormons
have organized those portions Of the Territory
Of Utah which they occupy into "the State Of
Deseret," and have appointed Brigham Young
their Governor, and have elected Senators and
. Representative to Congress. In the meantime
Congress has passed an act abolishing Mormon
polygamy, and the probability is that there will
be some trouble with Brigham Young upon
this peculiar institution" of the Great Salt
Lake before he is recognized as the head Of
new State. President Lincoln, however, we
hope, will so deal with the Mormons in this
matter as to convince them Of the error Of their
ways and bring them to reformation without
the use of gunpowder, especially as 1t appears
that in all other respects the Mormons are
faithful supporters Of the Union.

THE NEGROES OF OLD vrRGNA.-The Frede-
ricksburg (va.) Christian Banner of the 24th of
April says that in that quarter Of Old virgi-
MIA "the stampede of negroes continues with in
creased numbers" that on "last Thursday one
hundred and fifty crossed over to the north
side OF the Rappahannock rivers" that 'they
are going, going, and will soon all be gone;'
and the editor strongly denounces all this as
the work of "the demon Of secession, and scces.
sionists feel il, and are drinking the bitter cup
to the very dregs." All this is very true; and
from these facts it is apparent that II our aboi-
ton disorganizers will only let this thing Of
slavery alone the workings of this war will re-
move it az fast az is consistent with the safety
Of both races in the South from the hazards Of
an exterminating work Of slaughter between
them.

EUROPEAN MANUFACTURERS AND THE NEW
TARTF.-The passage of the new prohibitory
tariff now before Congress is generally ac-
cepted as a certainty. Now, therefore, is the
time for the poor, broken down manufacturers
of England and France to come to this country
bringing their machinery and their artisans with
them, if they like. This republic will soon
recover from the temporary affection of the
rebellion, and will exist q thousand years
united happy and prosperous. The nations of
Europe are old and decaying, liable to crash
down at any moment and bury industry be-
meath the ruins Of revolution. Hitherto this
continent has been the elysium of foreign labor
ers, many Of whom, coming to America poor,
ignorant and friendless, have achievSi wealth,
position and influence. Now Is the tim Or an
emigration Of foreign brains and foreign CAPT
tai; for the United States ID about to assert its
independence Of the world In manufactures az
in everything else, and those who occupy the
ground here first will reap the greatest har-
vests Let the English and French manufac-
turers reflect Without tho American market
for their goods, what will become Of them il
they stay where they are? And yet this war
and its results will separate Europe from us
more efectually than If the Atlantic were to
dry up and become a desert Only ruin can
await foreign manufacturers at home. Success
and wealt III invite them to this free, republican,
democratic country.

ABOLITION NoRTH-SEcEssIoN SoUTH.-Some
of the republican journalistic most stupid Of
them especially constantly reiterating the
statement that abolition has had nothing
to do with secession. On the contrary, IL has
had everything to do with it. Abolition and
secession are twin brothers; but abolition is
the elder Of the two. The abolitionists made
the South love slavery; for had 1t not been for
abolition agitations slavery would have been
abolished in the border States years ago. The
abolitionsts at the North suggested the idea Of
. separate Southern confederacy by inces-
sanity clamoring that slavery was . disgrace
to tho nation. The abolitionists gave the rebel
leaders their pretext for uniting the South
ern people a. they could never have been
united upon any other pretext. The abolition
lists encouraged the rebels by avowing that
they would not resist secession, and were glad
to have the South 60 out with Its slaves. The
aboltionists, having thus caused, are now
prolonging, this war by every possible means,
and especially by attempting to transform II
into an abolition crusade. Therefore We say
that abolitionsm and secessionism are insepara-
BILE, and should die together If the Union they
both assail Is to survive.

SHIPMENT OF Our GOLD CRoP.-The steamers
which left this port for Europe on Satur-
day took out with them the large sum of
s2,949,00O in gold 1t might appear from this
fact that this country was being depleted of
specie; but when we remember that gold is,
after all, only ono Of our regular crops, it will
be seen in different light. Gold, in fact is
our third best crop. Cotton comes first, then
breadstuffs and then gold. We have exported
in one year as much as $16O,O00000 worth
of cotton, S7O,OO0,O0O Of breadstuffs and
s69, 100000 Of gold.
The reason Of the present large export Of
specie can be easily accounted for. For the
past year tie London Times and other British
journals have been exercising all their sner-
gies 10 break down the credit Of the United
States and depreciate American stocks and Sc
curities The consequence is that our stocks
are returning to the market here. But where
as they we're paid for before in cotton and
breadstuffs, and as we have no cotton to send
now, and the demand for breadstuffs is supplied
for the present, we fall upon our third crop
gold-to meet the emergency.
