We have bern battling :or nearly i've yesrs
to the best Of our ability for the esuse Of the
Government. and TO our enterprise in estsb-
fishing Republican journal. long before the
numerous editors Of the Tribune had set foot
in our Territory, is mainly attributable the
success Of the party in 1861. We have ever
since endeavorcd to pursue a consistent course.
although the attempt has been made to rule
US out Of the party and to compel the sufpeu-
sion of onr paper. Thfoughs spirit Of en-
w and jealousy. We have been called I" DR.
Henry's pet" and every means was resorted
to by which it was hoped to gall our pride into
casting aside the only official in the Territory
who had invariably treated US as we had
right to expect. We were denounced in the
most bitter terms, and when we spoke in our
defence, like the eel when undergoing the
process Of skinning by the cook, was cursed
for not lying still. Then the proposal was
made to substitute US and make our paper the
clique organ. the first consideration for which
was that the paper should pass from our con-
troll aud that we should break off friendly IT,
lations with DR.. Henry. A temporary clerk
ship we held in the Surveyor Generals Office,
in which capacity we rendered full and faith
full service, was rendered untenablc by howl
from the clique Of envous politicians, although
their Jarorite has draw pay in half dozen
different capacities unmolested. BY rigid
economy we have fought our thus far, and in
tend to do so hereafter. The plans to crush
us out will not succeed, nor shall we ever ask
donations to keep our paper alive. We shall
endeavor to restore harmony in the ranks, not
withstanding our efforts may not meet with
friendly assistance from few who created the
sch;sm and whose hopes are centred in fac
tional triumph. We dislike very much to de-
part from our usual good nature, but the as
surance of our contemporary compels us to deal
in harsh facts. twill not engage in manly
controversy with an opponent. 1t very sell
dom expresses decided opinion upon any
thing, and when it does it is as likely to be
wrong Is right, as, for instance, in its recon-
mendation for a specific contract law. We
car scarcely point to an instance in which it
has taken firm stand, except one-opposi-
ton to rs. Hence we are not surprised that
our article should be denounced in such choice
epithets as "scurrilous,"" abusive and " ma
levolsnt." It and its friends have created
the discord. and it's cry is but that Of "Stop
Thief" to draw attention while it shares in
the plumber.
