NEOur Democratic neighbours es

wOur Democratic neighbours ex-
treme modesty on political subjects, or
upon matters connected with our Union
army, probably prevented him from call,
ing the attention of his readers to couple
of articles on the first page of his last
issue. One Of the said articles is from a
correspondent of the Chicago Times, a
rebel sympathizing paper, and the other
is headed "gone to the dogs at last" and
is letter from the rebel Thomas A. R.
Nelson. The spirit of these articles un.
qaestionably accords with the sentiments
of the editor of the Register, or he would
Doubtless have palaced over them, as a
kind Of salOo for their publication, the
word "Adyert,Sed," as he is in the habit
of doing, when he publishes articles by
request of political opponents. Of course
we have no objections to his using the
term, but really we 10 think our Repub-
lican friends should never place the mod
est (?) editor of the Register in posi-
ton by which, in order to keep on the
sunny side of his Democratic associates,
he is put under the necessity of using the
paliatory term "ad0ertised," over politi-
cal communications. It's all wrong to
place an editor who processes to be nen-
tral, Especially on the Republican side
ofthe question: in such an agonizing po-
sition. We hope our Republican friends
will never do it again.
