VIM. 7 Giles Of the Bulliten, Freeport,
ILL.,, paid his old friends in this village a
visit this week. We were glad to shake
him by the hand, and to notice that he
was looking SO hale and hearty, giving
evidence that the climate of his present
location agrees SO well with his physical
man. He called upon us at our sanctum'
and gave us his good wishes for our tenn
poral welfare, but hinged it upon our con,
version to the Democratic faith. We
thank him for the interest we shall have
in his prayers, and only hope that his
intercession in our behalf may have a
reflex influence upon his own benighted
mind, causing the scales to drop from
his eyes, and lead him again to the
true path from which we think he has
wandered. The difference between us is
he belongs to the progressive school of
Demo cracy, we stick to the old land
marks, as expounded by Jefferson.
