D6- There are business men-Merchants
in this town who do not advertise in their
party organs. We mean Democrats, of
course. Instead Of their advertising in the
Democratic papers they are actually adver-
tising in the Aboltion PAPER. This they
have perfect right to do, but is it treating
their own party papers fairly? Or, is it
more to their advantage to put their adver-
fising in an 1boIitioR sheet that. does not
ezceed the Democratic papers in circulation,
and that, too, in county that stands nearly
two to one Democratic, from which party
these Merchants must naturally expect to
receive their custom? Ifit is bid for Alb
clifton trade they have missed their mark,
for It is one of the cardinal principles Of that
party to 6otdeal with Democrats.
