GIVING GOOD ADVICE.

The Philadelphia Press says that dur,
ing the late rebellion the most faithful ot
the Democracy purchase gold yer,
largely. In all the towns of this State
young men with spare capital, and old
men with spare brains; who put their
faith in Democratic statesmen, and had
no faith in the people aud their country,
invested their little all in gold. They
do not talk about it now but many an
honest Democrat within our knowledge
curses the great men Of his town or
county who consellcd so unpatriotlc and
disastrous a course.
Our advice to our business readers,
continues the Press. is this, and it is
practical: Whenever your Democra.
tic friends come to your store or Office
and tell you that the policy aud measures
of the Union party are raining the coun'
try. and it will end IN destroying your
business and throwing you helpless
bankrupt on an impoverished commu
nifty, and so on, and so on, according tc
the vivldness of their imagination and
the heat of their party temper, just offer
to sell them gold. That will practically
test their own faith in their own words
and likely cool their argument Any
man who honestly believes that the
country is rushing towards destruction
with lightning rapldty, will be willing
and want to invest his all in gold, aud
pay slight premium for it,

For the Republican,
SUPPORT YOUR COUNTY PAPER

/
Every voter who can read should take
at least one paper. If ne take but one,
that one should be his County paper
lie should do this, in order to vote in>
telhgen.ly,
lay down this principle: 4: The coun.
ty papers are necessary to the success of
the party to which they belong, and
every one belonging to that party who
resides in the county is under obligation
to support them. The large papers, like
the 1IfJu"e, exercise a great Influence
upon the politics of the country, but not
any greater than the local papers. They
are the only medium through which the
politics OF tho County can be discussed,
the calls for meetings Issued, &c. In
fact, without them the party would die
But great many do not take them
because they say they cost too much.-
What, can you not give two dollars and
a half tor the support and advance
ment ofprnciples you believe to be true,
and necessary to the preservation OF
your country? IF not, then you are
unworthy to vote for those principles
1t is also said that city paper, like
the Tribune, can De obtained at less cost
than the REPUBLICAN,, aud yet contains so
much more reading This is true. But
If all would act upon this principle,
where would be our county papers p
And il they would 60 down whero
would be our party' Almost every one
of these contain more than two dollars
and q halfs worth Of reading.
Again, it is objected that these local
papers are not up to the standard
they should be, that they contain moth.
ing of interest except during the cam.
paigas' Let this be granted. Why
are they not Because those who Should
support them, do not do it, How many
intelligent Republicans are there IN
Greene County who could write an ar.
ticle for the REPUBLICAN, say once a
month! AT least fifty, That would
give twelve articles to each issue,
enough to make good paper, How
many new subscribers could be oblalned
by little exertion on the part of tho
eailng men of the townshipsi At least
a thousand, and that would enable the
Editor to take out somo advertisements,
and give resding matter instead

SOLDIER VS.. POLITICIAN.

The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin,
journal OF the extreme Southern type,
pays the following compliments to Genl.
Sheridan
The recognition of the civil authority
by Gen. Sheridan shows disposition to
concliate the people and convince th0m
OF his justice, We cannot conceive that
any fragrant denial of right would for a
moment be tolerated by him. Let every
man do his duty, and whatever mistor-
tunes may be ia store for us--and we
hope there are no more on hand just now
he can conscientiously say that he has
omitted no opportunity to remedy the
evils which have betallep the country.
Throughout tho South the same feel.
ing is maintained by their true men and
true Generals toward the Congressional
method OF reconstruction. Lee, Long
street, Hampton, Beauregard, Johnson,
Taylor, Malone, Gordon, other men OF
mark, and all their leading papers, favor
immediate action under its permises 1t
is the Soldier vs. the Politician. The
former heartily wishing and working tor
tn. good OF the South, the latter only
combating against right to save them,
selves from merited and inevitable OBJ
security. The Democracy of the North
are arrayed with the latter. They have
nothing but condemnation and obloquy
for those who play the part of prudent
peace-makers OF course, the influence
will preponderate on the side of the
Soldier both North and South.
