energetic prosecution Of the existing var"
Upon which "latter clause" the "frsnk"
editor Of tho TINES, {the only democratic
paper in the county, makes tho following
open (apd true) confession
1--WE deny that the concluding portion
Of the resolution in any sense whateset
expresses the sentiments Of the dem ocracy
of Snyder county. They are unatferab!y
opposed to the rro:-cstion Of this ,car under
any pres,nc,. ,cAaicuer, beiisuing that it is
contrary to right and justice and satcersic-
of eoery great and fundamental principle
upon ,ohiek the repnJlic ,oas founded, ama
that no man con De a good democrat ,eho
udoocates the prosecution Of this ,cas. We
know the sentiments Of the Snyder county
democracy, and ws know that ninety y.nine
out of every one hundred are snti-waf

stsndsrd-aua the Editor undoubtedly
reveals the true state Of feeling.
