PIKE TOWNSHIP, Jan. IL, 1862.

Mr.. s. J. Row Dear Sir: | desire you TO
grant me the privilege Of few lines in the
Journal | see item in the last ClearfieM
Republican, which reads as follows: cit is now
ascertaned that if an individual turns in
and abuses the administration for their eX
90 travag gance, that, he soon gets government
.s contract, or a commission Does the item
have quoted explain the continual abuse that
is heaped upon the Administration by the
editors of the Republican And does that
item also explain the visit of one of the edi-
tors of the Republican to the State capital at
the opening of the Legislature If the above
assertion is true, one thing is certain, that no
s.individuar' in this section is better qualified
to receive sea contract or commission, than
the editors of the Ciearfeld Republican. Truly
the road to office is circutous and mysterious
to the uninitiated. Respectfully yours,
OBSERVER.
