Mn. EDGToR;-Permit me through
the medium Of your paper to address
I a word Of explanation to the subscri-
bers of the stock of the democratic
Press Association Of Morgan county"
and in doing so ! will say that thc cir
oumstances under which this a%ssocia-
ton purchased the press, and thc sub
sequent attempt to keep up the issue Of
the enquirer, and its ultimate sus-
pension, are matters that have been too
well known TO the Democracy Of The
county to need a recital by me; but /
was put in charge Of the concern with
power both express and implied, TO
mako such q disposition oft, either by
sale or otherwise, as would best serve
the establishment and support Of a
sound Democratic county paper. In
discharge Of the duties thus assumed I
have sought every means of meeting,
as far as possible, Che just expectations
Of thc company. And however much
! may have fell short in that respect, ]
am not conscious that il can be ascrib-
cd to any neglect or want of vigilcncc
on my part. The offer made by Capt
eileen was the first and only one that
had been made which ! could feel
warranted in accepting. and I yet be
licve and trust chat if the Democracy
Of the county shall sustain tn" gallant

support and patronage, a reliable Dem
ocratic and conservative journal can.

The Washincton correspondent OF
that radically pious and piously radical
sheet. the New York Independent, is
determined to mako Stanton fish, or
@it bait. In speaking Of the Now
Orleans riot he says;
.lir Stanton, who was so bold dur
ING the war. is trembling with fear and
rcmorse in the shadow of his office.
=; * 4 h - x X ;;
The secret OF his conduct is this: he
was brutal during the war, or he is
tjmc-scrving now, and he is afraid TO
leave the company Of the President.
So long as be stands with Mr.. Johnson
he is sure Of protection agsinst the
C~oppcrhcads, who hate him. Can
Congress, or the Radicals outside of it,
protect him? J suppose not. Mr..
Stanton pcrccivcs the fact, and means
TO save himself from persecution, if he
can-caripg moro for the immediate
present than for the future
We are inclined TO believe that the
Independents correspondent gives the
true reason of Stanton clinging so de-
tcrminedly to his Office. 1t is fear and
remorse that makes him stick 30 close
~ to Johnson. Tho President should
shake him of, as well as that other
disgrace to the American character

He can never he warmed up to by
Democrats, so long as he retains those

overwhelming victory for Che former.
