some of our shots have told. Any one
who reads the resolutions will admit that
whether "iguorance" is an apology for us
or not, it is an apology for the author of
the above resolutions. They say that
one s. S. Daniels is of very limited cir
culation." Wonderful Isn't it?
The gist of the whole matter is that
they fear the Adyertiser and wish to de-
crease its circulation. They have taken
poor way to accomplish their object;
but suppose it should be successful, what
would be the result? They refuse to
patronize us because we are for the I'm
ion without but or an it. OF course,
if it is right for them to act thus and for
such reasons, it will be right for Union
men to withhold support from Copper
heads, and H. W. Ross, NJ. D., 4. F.
Whitcomb, Esq, and b. +. Pawling of
the committee, and Bssell & Swineford,
Esqrs., II. c. Piatt Esq, John Weaver,
and others of that fraternity would be
left without any support from Union
men, and even the Courier would lose a
large share OF It's support. How would
that suit the X G. C.'s? When they
have inauguratcd the doctrine of non
intercourse, it sounds bad for them to be
telling that the Union men arc in favor
Of such a course.
The resolutions Of the convention CT
the I'd inst are part of the history of
the X. G. C.'s Of Cedar county. As such
We place them on record The Couricr,
speaking of these last resolutions, says:
"Thc last resolution is an excellent one
and the other two are good. though
scarcely worth spending such good am
munition upon" What the last clause of
the sentence means is more than we can
ascertain from its language We are in
formed that there are still ore or two res
olutions that have not been published.
There were resolutions instructing the
delegates to vote for men who are in ia
vor Of an armisticc to negotiate peace
with the rebels, and to adopt ap'atform
Of the same sort. Why are not they
published?

which has betn a great blessing to the

The troops in general have full conf

moving his forces around in the rear of
Nicksburg, very cautiously, AID believe
he will accomplish what We, and all true
loyal men should hope and pray for.
