FAMILY QUARREL-The Gazette is the
accredited organ Of the Republican party Of
Scott county. and aspires to be The organ Of
the party of the State To affirm further
more, that it has been, under its present
management, in the service Of Hiram Price,
our present member of Congress, is stating
what all admit to be fact, consequently
what ever may be its political conduct, it
may be taken as true tnat it is acting under
his advice and counsel. Now, as between
MIR. Price and the German element Of the
Republican, on account Of some things that
might be mentioned, there certainly has
never been any love to lose, yet that same
German element has stood by Mr.. Price and
the Republican party firmly for many years
But now that the party considers itself
strong enough to move along without the
aid Of the German vote, its organ, the Ga
zette, very cody informs the German organ

Republics are said to be unsratcfui, but
that portion Of the Rspublican party repre-
sented by the Gazette ard its master, fur
nishes the strongest evidence Of ingratituds
that We have Witnessed in politics during
our brief experience in the ways Of tine
world. itt
Without the support ofthe Geruans, the
republican party would never have had
foothold in this country. They never have
asked for or received but little public pat
ronage, and have always been faithful to
the organization, since becoming = part
thereof-voting the ticket with \ unsmity

those great principles upon which our
fathers have founded the Government"
That is our duty to-day. We are not
here to create, nor to recommend creation.
We are not here to build up better sys-
tenn than our fathers of the revolutionary
time made for us-nothing Of the kind.
1t is simple effort to 60 back again to
the chart of our principles as recorded by
our fathers, and place ourselves upon the
ground occupied, and all will be well.
But, gentlemen of the Convention, what
a. herculean task is before us all! 1t need
not be supposed that we are to have no
lot or part in the matter. Who are we?
We represent more than 100000 of the
electors of this great and powerful State
We represent more than 1000, 900 of the
population Of the State. That population
lis looking to you to-day, with anxious So
licitude that you should do for them, and
for the cause of truth and righteousness,
just what is necessary to restore to them
the blessings which they enjoyed prior to
the advent of the new party that has come
into power. That is what they ask you
to do
And now, gentlemen, what is the first
thing to be done? The first thing is to
bring our great and glorious country to-
gether again. The first thing to which
we must direct our attention as free men,
leaving the past to take care of itself, and
looking now to the discharge Of our high
duties for the future,is to cooperate man.
fully, resolutely and determinedly, in re-
storing our country, until we see the
happy spectacle of thirty odd States again
in peace, represented in the National
council Applause.
How this is to be done precisely [ do
not stop to inquire. Who it shall be done
by, do not stop to inquire. My hand
my heart shall be with any man who, un-
der the Constitution and in obedience to
it,uses his best efforts to bring again into
the National Council and into the family
e-unien, all those who were oe our glo.
rious and extensive country. Having all
this to do, my fellow citizens, what task
is upon us still Hardly more difficult
was the task Of unburying again those
cities of the East that had been buried
hundreds of feet deep in the eruptions
from the mountains. Hardly less than
rescuing Pompeii from its burial place, is
the business that now devolves upon us is
to rescue our old genuine Constitution and
laws from the vast rubbish that has been
heaped uyon them. In doing this, how
ever, let me say to you as citizens in the
honest discharge of your duties, it will be
your task to see that the burdens which
the party in power have laid upon us and
upon the country, shall be equally lait
upon the property of the whole country
We will go back again to the good ole
proposition that liberty and equality liz
i at the foundation of our institutions.

DO a Good Turn when You Can.
How little we think as we travel

How little we think as we travel
Through life's ups and downs day by day,
What good each might do for his neighbor,
Did all of US go the right way;
How many poor fellow whose talents
To elevate science would tend,
Is lost to the worlds gaze forever,
And al! for the want of friend.
Then stretch forth your hand like brother,
For remember that life's but span;
'Tis our duty to help one another,
And do good turn when we can.
Some boast of their wealth and connections,
And look with contempt upon those
OF higher degree-quite forgetting
The means by which they perhaps rose,
So be kind to the poor and the lowly,
Never utter word that's untrue,
Prize the maxim which says, "Act to others
As you would they should act unto you.'
Then stretch forth your hand like brother
/ Since life's after all but a span,
Let us try to assist one another,
And do coed turn when we can.

Editing a Paper.

Editing a paper is pleasant business,
that is, if man don't care what he says.
IF it contains too much political mat
ter, the people won't have it.
If the type is too large, it don't con-
tain enough reading matter.
If the type is too small, the people can't
read it.
If we publish telegraphic reports, peo-
pie say they are false.
If we omit them, they say we have nc
enterprise, or suppress them for politica
effect.
IF we have few jokes, people say We
are nothing but a rattlehead.
IF we omit them, they say we are an ole
fossil.
If we publish original matter, they
censure US for not giving selections.
If we publish selections, they say We
are lazy for not writing more and giving
them what they have not read in some
other paper.
If we give man complimentary no.
tice, we are censured for being partial.
IF we insert an article that pleases tn,
ladies, the men become jealous.
If we do not cater to their wishes, th'
paper is not fit to have in the house.
IF we attend church, they say it is onl,
for effect.
If we don't, they denounee us as de
ceitful and desperately wicked.
IF we remain in the Office and attend t,
business, folks say we are too proud t.
mihgle with our fellow men.
If we go out, they say we never atten'
to business.
IF we do not pay all bills promptly
folks say we are not to be trusted.
If we do, they say we swiEdled tn
county to get it.

Cast a Line for Yourself.

A young man, poor and detected, stood
watching some anglers on the bank of a
stream. Atlength, approaching basket
we'll filled with fine fish, he sighed, "If
now I had these, l would be happy. l
could sell them at fair price and buy nae
food and lodging.
''I will give you as good fish, said the
owner, who chanced to overhear his words
"If you will do me trifing favor"
Sand what is that?" asked the other
eagerly.
"OnIy tend this line till come back
I wish to go on short Grand"
The proposal was gladly accepted
The old fisherman was gone so long thai
the young man began to be impatient
Meanwhile, however, the hungry fish
snapped at the baited hook and the young
man lost his depression in the excitement
of pulling them in, and when the owner
of the line returned, he had caught large
number. Counting out from them a,
many as were in the basket and presen
ting them to the young man, the old fish
erman said:
II fulfil my promise for the fish yor
have caught, to teach you that whenever
you see others earning whatyou need, ts
waste no time in fruitless wishes, but cas-
"a line for yourself"

Br"Brick," of the La Crosse Demo
crat, has the following item conc cerning a
couple Of his Abolition cotemporaries.
He says:
"The press and type on which the Fon
du Lac Commonwealth, Republican pa
per, is printed was stolen fIom a printing
Office at Columbia, Tennessee,by its pres
ent user, the editor of the Commonwealth
There is prospect of the 'loyal' con6s-
catlonist coming to grief over it. A Re
publican printing Office in this city has
lately received lot of second-han type
ICON down South when the owner was
away. We admire fighting rebel more
than thieving patriot, and are not afraid
to say SO. If these Southern printing
Office stealers could have stolen few
brains at the same time they would have
been better off than now. What pity
this cruel war is over!'

To Farmers who Think.

The farmers home is to a great extent
a community within itself, and its inmates
must seek for their information for them
selves; hence. the farmers family is bound
to read, because it has not the opportunity
of the city, or town, where the lecture
room, the court, the walking takers, the
numerous churches the rapid movements
of trade. etc., supply to some extent, the
place of reading.
The farmer himself is bound to read,
because his interests are involved with
interest of the state and county which are
constantly doing something which affects
him and his children, and it is the news
paper-the political newspaper-whieh
informs him, if he will read, ofthe changes
of the laws of his state and county, as well
as the time when the officers and the courts
act upon these laws. This is information
which he must have, his own welfare
compels him to have it, and if he does not
take the paper containing this information
he must borrow from his neighbor, or else
ride to the county seat and ask for the
news. Whereas, when he takes paper
he has the information in print, together
with large amount Of other interesting
matter. His journey to the county-seat
if he wants any information, must seost
him his time, and not less than half a dol
lar, while his paper at $3.50 per year, will
cost him less than FIVE cents per week
less than his tobacco, less than any thing
he buys or can buy. Yet we have men
scolding about the price of newspa-
per.
Now, we would like you to ask any
man, especially farmer. how he can get
the same amount Of information which ht
needs, and the same amount of amusement
for his children, for five cents per week
that he can get in his own political county
newspaper. 1t can't be done. 1t is thu
best and cheapest friend that enters thu
farmers door. Will not those farmers
who know this to be fact, endeavor tt
impress this upon their neighbors, VIII
do not consider the matter ?-Clark
