the conduct Of our pious nsiehbsr. lie
priest may deny the pope, Why should not
the 0osstts, il sSpsdisst. deny Hr. Price to
his own advantage for moment,
The 0Gsstts gives the following sxplana.
ton:
1st. Nr. Prize has not nor never had
dollars worth Of property ip The 0dsstts,
nor any share in its profit and losa.
-. 4r. erioe never pstrsnised the Ga
sstts. except by paying - subscriber.
The arst ofthsse two explorations may be
correct We do not know that and do not
care about il.
Tae second may be true. and at the same
tune sheer lie. BE it understood: The
Gazette is not owned solely hy NJ. Russell,
but BY a association-the Gazette Compa-
~. But Mr.. Russell is the chief editor.
and the ruling power has been secured for
him from the beginning. Whoever, the,efors
desires TO use the 0asst.s for Z political Or
gan. does not care tho devil for the go
ststs Company" but spplies 70 the chief
editor Il vas much more to Mr. Prices
advantage tskssp Mr. nuassll bis body ser
want iA coatgoliing nesioa than 70 sup
port the "Gasstts Company" He therefore
assisted 4r. Russell personally by advance,
the post Office, going bis security, etc., and
this the Gasstts CJmpany may have indi-
rectly projected. Thus it 10 that the above
declaration may st the same time be true
end false, for the NasEttt alops il express
y mentioned, not Ar. Price. Nj. Russell
may each day receive bic pay from Nr.
Price, and vt the cunning litqH fellow
may wink ct the devil and tell him, nStrike.
i'll lie."
Does Mr.. Russell, the Chief editee sf the
Gosetts .han desire TO assure the public
ofMr. Price. the late ruler Of the RepuSh>
can party Of Scott county. Viii Ar ~.
sell decaars upon his ho".. and con.cience.
'"ss va ~ we declaration is true, even II
app'ied to him personally, instead Of the
Gazette o. .0asetts Company
We expect an answer, definite answer.
II the same 10 not given in sufficient man
rer, it will only show that the editor Of the
Gazette 10 trying to mako an ass Of the
public.
The second part Of the Gasetts is much
ennpn a vOollnnA swhav n:s. - &. .~uuht %n ,,e0vn
that the Gosstts Is BY no means the po!iti-
eal organ Of Mr.. Price, the dirty receptacle
Of his soiled garments.
We aaid the other day that the first lead
ing principle of the Gazette was: Hiram
Price. Yesterdays issue Of the Gazette
furnishes full proof our assertion.
Ws.see from that, that the editor Of the
Gasetts has with scrnpulous anxiety s:u
died all views, opinions, expressions, every
word Of csnsure or Of praise Of Mr.. Price,
which may indeed be necessary, ss he ire-
quently cannot be under the immediate su-
pervision Of M. Price. The editor bears
in mind, like . faithful cur, when he has
been patted BY his master, especially when
he hiss been castigated. Therefore he is
enabled to mention every instance, when
he has sinned BY opposing the will o. his
master giving complete record Of such
sins. 1t may often enough have weighed
very heavily upon the stomach Of the Ga
setts, but yesterday the record was produc-
ed Is . shield and defending weapon. But
this record y too delicious to abstain from
shortly referring to It.
The Gasstts claims to b entirely inde-
pendent Of NJ. Price end the testimony I'D.
duced to prove that threefold.
The first proof 10, that the Gasstts has
declared itself to be in favor Of the National
Bank system and for abolishiDg the Iowa
State Bank. although Mr. Hiram Price sv-
cry year n ads several thopsand dollars out
Of the latter. Well but was not Mr. Price
himself in favor Of National Banks, and
does he not make - mech Through them, as
through the State Banks before This thing
won't draw very well. But here are the
two main trunsps, to-wit:
During the session Of the last Congress,
The 0asetts in Davenport supported the
bankrupt bill Of Congrsss, although Mr..
Price in Washington was against it, and the
Gazette denied that Mr. Harlan should be
elected for the long and Mr. Kirkweod for
the short tern. while Mr.. Price desired he
contrary that Nj. Kirkwood should b. elect
ed U. 8. Senatss for the long tern.
Thunder and Diana, where did the 0aseete
get such courage. Wellit must b acknowl
edged that is beldnsss, oanheod. that b in.
dependence, dreadful independence on the
part Of The 0asseSA Who will yet doubt
its virtue and intsgrityi
Go aeighber. and 30 ths laughing stock
sf others. Try again. but Do not again
make fool Of yourself.
