b. AaoDad~ along by the czoQpsr and
breeching ~ the willing hcr=e, but when
ut the stable neighs for his oats, refrac-
tory Il No don't get them, and cares little
who eWeats 10 raise them OF pay fbr
them. The 1lasses are 80 far snlighten-
ed, Wit regard to their rights, that they
see, Is our sforeiathers saw, that they
have been oppressed by agents who have
belonged or have acted in the interest OF
the non producing class to their detri-
ment. He that produces two spears Of
grass where but one grew, Is termed
benefactoS, and TO increase the ratio OF
grass az any need of man, equally meri-
torious. We do moi. intend to array class
against class, but for the mutual benefit
Of community and to advance the object
Of equal rights; that there may be no
more ''strikes', by operatives Of single
vocations for less working time, or
higher wages, but their unity and CO.
operation In legislation, and thereby to
have, II possible, the aggregate value of
q days labor in legitimate production,
and its application to all service in gov
eminent employ as is deemed best
"D'' admits the adjectives applied to
corporations correct as rule, and asks
If we would abolish them? No; but to
prevent errors and deleterious effects on
the people, and to guard against our
legislators being bought up or bribed to
carry out their oppressive designs to adj
vance their interests at the expense of
say nine-tenths Of the community; pos
sibly retrospective action on those ex-
isting may be necessary by the people to
define their rights; i. e., if our constitu-
ton or laws permit corporate companies
or monopolies to Cypress individuals, or
give them more privilege and favor than
a citizen, that this cause of complaint
may be removed. The people can con-
troll all unjust power to which I'D"
alludes in the clause, "Ready cash,
bridge Site" &C., by reducing use and
rents to point not burdensome on the
producer; their interests first, by legis-
lation, and then, all minor interests.
9th-'D" does not agree that the COM
in the rural districts have thick
skulls. This is no. my view, but no
doubt is one chief objection urged by
nonproducers, why they should be the
agents, guardians and controllers of pub
lie affairs, and we cannot say that this |
idea has no place in his brain, for you
will notice in that clause wherein the |
epithet "demagogue' is made use of, he
says that II should labor to enlighten all
classes SO that they may see what is for
their good" &c. We think that their
light has long been eclipsed by office
seekers, but has not been done without
their notice, and we only bring before
your readers what perhaps has been the
view of great majority in almost every
neighborhood in the country. We hope
no ofiense, but come at logical conclu-
sions. About his identity with them,
we are thinking it was from infancy to
boyhood. We see many causes and in
ducements for the boys leaving comfort 1
able homes in the rural districts for the
glitter and glare of town and city life,
and now let US trace their history: 1st-
Seeking odd jobs; 2d-selling candies
about one in twenty get into legitimate
business and succeed, and probably the
others into iilegitimate or unimportant
business, but still hang around the court
house or city, greedy aspirants for po-
political preferment; very jealous for
high salaries Of officers, and especially
for teachers and superintendent, but
don't care, or enquire, who pays? Thus
power is concentrated in IA few having
little orno legitimate business, and such
is a portion of the noisy population of
our cities and towns, hence we honor
the opinion of Thomas Jefferson in the
"that large cities are big
sores OH the body politic,' and its great
cause, its nonproducing population
Join u.s. then, and try to increase the
productive force in the development of
the UNEMPLOYED or undeveloped wealth
OF the great empire Of our western conti-
nent. Every little helps, and truth and
justice will triumph. Mark the history
of the past. We are no pretenders our
aims and objects are sincere and earnest.
1Oth-In conclusion, I'D" says that he
is glad to find that the people Of other
counties, as well as "Old Cedar" are in
vestigating the workings Of the Super
visor system, and find it not good, and
alludes to the doings in Scott county.
Permit us to enquire from where the
opposition to the system will be appar-
ent, and the cause and object? Very
many Of our county seats are in cities
and large towns, where political and
pecuniary influence, under the present
system of county government, trespass
upon the rights of the rural districts or
townships. If the present system was
abolished, and one man or three men
substituted the management Of the coun-
ty, finances would be brought more un-
der their influence and control, which
is now in excess in our county govern
ment, and give places Of profit to non
producers who t.Gselein congregate for
that emu and object, and when they get
the chance are very sure to make raise
and the producers pay for it; and as
those who labor with hands and heads
produce all that exists that is important
to man, there is nothing else to contrib
ute. REPUBLICAN,
