DECIDEDLY QUsss. The Upton Adseytise.
wishes some Republican to give good res
son why Postmaster Russell was supercsd
ed by Gen. Sanders, and sdds that il ca,
see nothing in the removal but persons
spite and hatred Of republicanism. Tha
Adsertiser is queer paper. In one column
it publishes long article headed "Andres
Johnson" in which our President is laudet
IS one Of the rarest patriots and statesmen
Of the age, and then in another, it charges
the remover Of Postmaster Russell with
hatred Of Republicanism, and with persona
spite, - though the President Of ore Of th.
greatest Governments on earth could stooJ
so low - to hate 50 obscure an individua
as the editor Of the Davenport Gazette 1
President johnson 10 hater of Republic
anism, Why does the Adrertiser support hin
% enthusiastically II the editor of that
sheet will call on many Of the prominent
Republicans Of this city, he will soon learn
the reasoLs Why the removal Of Mr. Russell
Was insisted on. He will be informed that
the Gasette has been urging the claims o.
disabled sol'iiers to our public Offices, fol
the last two years, and that Gen. Sander,
has higher claims for public patronage thar
perhaps any ether man in our city. To
counter balance these, be will learn that Mr.
Russell has nothing more to offer than the
Zeal which every partisan can display when
in pursuit Of selfish interest, and which Ab
olitionists some times call loyalty

SPEER's SAxBURG PoRr WiNR.-We take
pleasure in directing the attention Of the
public to Speer's Celebrated Ssrnburg Port
Wine-apure and unadulterated grape wine
.an article upon which every one having
occasion to use the article, may most i'm
plici,ly rely. The Samburg Port Wine is
made at Speer's celebrated Passaic Vine
yards in New Jersey. 1t has a splendid
flavor, and contains no poisonous or other
wise obnoxious concoctions that is mixed
nt) other wines. We know this to be the
act having tried the article thoroughly.
n the advertisement nothing is stated but
vhat we believe to be strictly tru, 1t can
De purchased At the drug store Of Harrison
Il Starks, IN this city. Call and get sam
Pile bottle and try it. Use home wines, and
you arc generally sure Of getting pure ar
licle, which is not always the case, by any
means, with foreign brands.
Wnicu?-1he Gazette praised Major
Duncan's lecture in its issue Of Nov 18th
The morning after his appearance here-say.
ng that "those present were amply re-
paid" that "hs hearers were excited :"
hat 1.-The lecture will be received with graf
fica'ion wherever delivered" etc.
This morning, speaking Of Duncan in
with another Of Gen. Sherman's 8
Staff Lecturers, . Mr.. Nichols, it expresses
he laudable hope that "he fNichols) is .
better representative Of that march than
me Maj. Duncan. who recently lectured
