The Elk advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Elk Co., Pa.) 186?-1868, 1867-01-03

flnctionary comes to Pennsylvania, in
defiance of right, justice and law, and
takes Culver to Washington, where, as
the tolegraphic report informs us, he is
" cordially received among his brother
members, they believing in his honesty
aud integrity" TO say the least of it
this is cool, even in tkis cold weather,
However we are not much surprised at
the Rump for thus shielding Mr.. Cul-
yer, and it reminds us Of the saying
about the devil being good to his own,
But what we do want to know is, by
what right does that body take a
criminal from one of our county ials in
de efance of refusal to release him by
one of our State Judges? We want to
know if the great Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania is not fully competent
to take care of her own criminals without
the interference of Federal Legislation
We pause for an answer. NJ.

what they can to make the Advocafe as
useful as possible. Let it be medium
of communications with each other for
all the people of the county; and help
to unite them in promoting. not only
the public interests of the county. but
those broader interests which pertain to
the nation and to mankind.
With the beginning Of another year
may we not have beginning o. better
things. both fer the Editor and for the
readers Of the A1rocdtc ? that it may
become necessity in every family and
concribute much to make "the future
Of Elk county" all that the most san.
guiuc could desire? CIvIs.
REMARKS.,-We are not astonished
that any person should conclude that
Elk county'ought to afford better pa
per than the AdOocdte has proved -
That is our own opinion, although we
assert unhesitatiugly that more original
matter of real merit has been contributr
ed to its columns during the nine
months it has been under our control
than has graced the columns of any pa.
per of the adjoining counties. Yet it
can be improved, and it ought to be i'm
proved. The paper should be enlarged
Before we can enlarge it we must get {
new press. The purchase ofa press in
wolves an expenditure which the present
circulation and business of the paper
does not justify. If CIvIs and Others
will by their efforts, give us 800
new subscriptions, prepaid, we sh all in
vest the money at once in a new press
and theuceforth give to the public ar
increased amount of reading matter Il
the paper is expected to be publ
benefit, the public must support it. Ed
