The Republican editor of this place is
considerably exercised about The starting OF
new paper 10 ihi. courty, bY The disOrgGn-
ir0s IN his own party. He seems 10 think
- It q fixed fact that another paper, in the
support and holding to the same principles
of the rary 10 which be belongs, will be
established, and in strong and loCd-souhdiug
words cautions has patrons mol to touch or
handle the uncIean hing, as il would only
have the effect 10 weaken and destroy that
unionism OF which he so much boasts in
this county. II is asserted in this Republican
that the new institution 10 10 be an Andre1c
Jciason organ, and that Senator BucKALEw
Is lending his efforts TO effect that object.
This latter we know nothing about, but
concede that information entirely TO the
editor ,,f the Republican We scarcely deem
II necessary 10 warn our Democratic
friends against subscribing; or in any way
paireniziug, the nev paper The Democ
racy of Columbia county sustain their press !;
and stand to-day, as they always have stood
By the support oI the President, so far as
he has gone right; and in doing this, they
have not yet found il expsdient 10 become
the dupes of a set OF unprincpleI sconn-
dreIs who manage aud shape the affairs OF
The Republican party. This party estab-
Iished an organ TO do their blowing in this
county; and il now has become apparent
70 many of them, when il is most too late,
that The man who handled the horn has
been blowing il successfully for his own
aggrandizemenl. This may be sufficient
grounds with some people for The establish
Hsent OF another Republican paper, but
Ulfh many honest men who have allowed
themselves to become The tools 10 do the
bidding OF the fugleman Of the Republican
party in this county, it will moi meet with
much favor hence the Republican editor and
Rss1fue assessor should not sqrirm and
Eriggle until he has, as We think, some
siro0eer evidence Of his downfall The
poor fellow imagines that Senator BucxALEw
is after him, ard that he beholds with his
inminous eyes, the broad vortex of ruin
into which he is about 10 be so ruthlessly
plunged Senator BCcKALEw is a hard man
20 6ghi, and when he takes anything into
bis head be generally goes through with ii
regardless OF expense or labor; but our
experience and acquaintance with him,
teaches Us to know that he gives his aaen
iion 10 iarger game Than looking after Re-
publican editors OF The Thomas Dunn stripe.
II II is necessary that the Republican
pasty of this county have another paper,
cne that will give President Johnson more
hearty and uninching support than the
one ihsy now have, in Gods name start il;
:or, so far as the Democracy are concerned.
they have no protest TO make; they haze
their papers, and with the support The Pres
ideut receives through them, they are en-
iEeIy satisfied. The Republican editor not
being willing TO come out squareIy in favor
OF the Presidents reconstruction policy, is
alleged By the men whom he sees fit TO call
disorganizers, as one OF The reasons for es
tablishing an And'eD Johnson paper in OPP
position TO the Republican. This reason the
eself-coDceited and bombasiic editor attempts
40 argue out of Inc case by saying that be
zstands By ANDREW JOHNSON nolO aud al
ways has been one of his warmesl sup
pur;eFs; but men who voted fox ASpREw
5oHSsos have very great doubts on tha;
sDhjsct, and the agitation in The Republi-
can ranks over the Starring of another paper
is one of the results of this doubt. They
, hare failed to see in the columns OF that de-
Ieeiabie sheet, the Republican, many short
patriotic. speeches, delivered to the different
Southern delegations, on Reconstruction, as
well as the late speech to the Fred Doug.
lass delegation that visited him for The pur-
pose of insisting on The right of suffrage
being extended 10 all their black brethren.
OF course this speech did not suit The Re-
pubdifon man and be gave il The gosby yet
