The editor Of the Republican says he
has no taste fer personal controversies
This will be news to the people, and We
congratulate him on the symptoms Of his
approach to dccency and gentlcrnanly pre-
priety. When did he begin to see the
folly of his past conduct? This rclorma>
tfon is ofrecent origin, and i. is possible
that the editor may even yet once in a
while, forget his resolution to rcnounce
the evil ways heretofore practiccd 10y him
and in which he has SO long delighted :
still we hope for the best and Will do all
we can to encourage him to keep stead
lastly in the new path he has marked out
for himself. OF course he will hereafter
not be guilty Of calling Us hard names
such as traitor, copperhead, rebel sympa
thizer, liar, &c, &c, and Will not insist
that we are depraved and vulgar, and lacb
the elements Of Il gentleman, simpl,
because We in mild way remind him Of
his errors and endeavor to aid him in hi
efforts at reformation. Neither will it J.,
expected that he will engage hereafter a
he has too often done heretofore, in abu
sing private citizens on account Of thc
adverse political opinions On the con
trary he will now be expected, in his new
character, to treat even his political oppo

defaming the character of his ncishbor
and fellow citizens, and no longer be IA

The soldiers Free Esis.ner.

Last Thursday was set apart by the
leaders of the republican party here to do
honor to the returned soldiers of this
county. Extensive preparations had been
made, committeeman appointed in every
township, pressing invitations extended,
and huge posters circulated all over the
county, and a great time was expected
The day was auspicioUs, aud at an carl y
hour the citizens, men women and chill
dren, from various parts of the county,
began to arrive, and by noon there was
quite crowd in town. y special police
had been appointed for the occasion. the
saloons had been closed and quiet and
good order prevailed. The tables were
spread, and speech made at the grove.
and everything went off well with the cx-
-ception that not more than one fourth or
one third at most of the soldiers IN the
county were present. We predicted that
the leaders of the republican party would
fail to make much political capital out Of
the affair, on account Of the narrow mind
ed bigotry which had been all along SO
prominent a feature in the programme
marked out By the leaders for the occasion.
The aboltionists were here in full force to
do the honors, but a large majority of the
soldiers were in 10 hamor to be honored
by them. Many Of them had been honor
ed by this same party with weeks and
months of confinement In the old Libby
at Richmond. and in that den Of horrors
untold at Andersonyille, waiting Tor the
party TO procure their exchange, which ii
might have done had it thought as much
Of the health, lie and comfort Of our
white soldiers confined there as it did of q
few hundred negroes under its special pro
lection. Many Of .he soldiers re member
the relative yaiu attached to their lives
by this same party who now wishes to
blarney them into voting its ticket; the
rule, niger first, 4 mule next, and a
private soldier last, too often practiced by
abolition officers in the army, cannot SO soon
and so easily be forgotten or forgiven, hence
the small turn out Of soldiers here last
Thursday The cry Of copperheai has no
terrors to them, knowing as they do that
it is mere clap-trap designed 70 secure
their votes. Had the political wire-wOrk-
ers who had the demonstration in charge
put forth call for the pe0pie to meet and
make arrangements for u wnolesouiel hon
est welcome of our brave soldiers to then
homes, there would have been at least
three times as many present as there were
last Thursday. The sentiments above
stated are not ours alone; We have heard
them frequently and freely expressed boil
by returned soldiers, and BY candid hon
est republican citizens
