DEAR SIR :-Inyour issue Of the 7th
inst, l noticed an enlargement of your
paper, and thought there might be room
for an outside scribbler.
We noticed some two weeks since a
Stranger in our place, saw him in low con-
versation with some of our citizens, and
supposed him to be Deputy Sheriff, as
he seemed to enquire for certain residen-
ces /; hut we learned that his business was
looking up Republicans alias Radicals to
subscribe for the Indepen9ent Republican,
of Susquehanua Co. The result was, in
about week after this there came to our
Post Office one hundred of the said Repub-
liCan papers. 1t is rather singular that
our people should be so much interested
in the affairs of SusquehanDa Co. At first
we though it flank movement to come
down on you for vanquishing the Wyo-
ming Rnpublican and taking the dear
name of Wyoming to yourself. But in
looking. over the said Republican paper
the mystery is solved. We notice an ar
ticle dated Factoryville, which recommends
the selecting of the radical candidates for
Representatives from Susquehanna Co. to
avoid difficulty at home. So we see this
is merelya campaign paper" the sub
scriptions being only for and months.
If the advice of the correspondent here, is
taken, it will avoid the great battle of
Cog and magog between fleshy Rev. gen.
tleman, and slim individual of this place,
to see who shall represent US in the Leg
islative Hall this winter. Perhaps it will
not pay for a very hard fight this warm
weather considering there is no U. S. Sen
aior to elect this winter. But should they
conclude to go in, we think our Factory
vile Friends has a fair show to win-hav-
ing 100 good, true RAIDS out of some 400
which the editor of the Independent Re
publican is said to have obtained in this
Co.
We notice another article in the Iade-
pendent Republican, from learned cor
respondent from Factoryville, w. J.
Whitney, formerly correspondent of the
Wyoming Republican. lie seems to be
getting weak 10 the back in regard to our
National affairs, and says "where are we
drifting to? Our party leaders are all
getting off the track" And further says.
"Some are traitors, others are old worn
out fogies, and that the Radicals are not
radical cnough-says the party is strong
enough without them, and advises to have
them thrown overheard, and to put in the
most Radical Of the Radicals for leaders,"
We would advise our Factoryville friend
TO be little more cautious, for although
this may all be true, he must recollect the
truth is not to be spoken at all times. He
may recoilect that Andrew Johnson got
little fuddled on certain 22d Feb. and
went out on his balcony and made speech
and uttered some of those same truths.
Viz that some of the Radicals were trait
ors, and-see the effect Of that speech
on Andrew. They threw him out of the
party because he was too Radical to suit
the RAIDS, and they would have thrown him
out of the White House, but after spend
ing thousands of dollars of the p eople's
money they find him there yet, and that
truth will stand, although there may be
some liars and traitors, as he saws, in
the Republican party. We would again
caution our Factoryville correspondent not
to expose the traitors and liars of his own
party IN this Campaign Paper" for we
hear there is some talk Of selecting him as
a person radical enough to represent the
Republicans in our Legislature, and if he
should continue to expose the errors of his
party, instead of nominating him fer Rep
resentative, they will serve him as they
did Andrew Johnson-throw him out of
the party, We believe he has no White
House" that they could throw him out of.
