where IN our columns, in this sheet, or
in future issues truthful statements
concerning tbei, little town and ito
future prospects, they may attribute it
to the want Of discretion in their little

The only man Of this town that has An

cipal Democratic blowers Of the county.
He 10 ito correspondent from this town

It's Publisher about two Or three years
since published Coppsrbsid paper in
Ksnkakee, ILL.,, and suspended at last
for want Of proper support. while W
believe there was but one other paper
published in that c, unity, which has .

during the rebellion, that it would have
been very appropriate # it had been
published in Sonth Carolina That its
extreme od,ousness gained for it the
euphonious title Of "Old Cy's On,on",
the name Of the paper being "Ksnk akee
Union"
We ask Republicans If it is not ex.
tremely euspicious, when : man Who
has 20 recently published paper Of this
class, comes into this county, knowing
it to be largely Republican, and pub.
fishes another, which he says shall be
"Fses from party politics.. and AZ.

Of the Hon. James Harlan, whom tho
Republicans Of this State have recently

confession on HE part for which ~ |
must commend him, for We are slways

We have itahcised some parts:.of this
quotation from his salutatory and |

to the Democrats Of this county ws don't
understand it. In other words he
directly acknowledges that be IL .
