At last the long dark night Of gloom
over the prosperity of our country has
passed. On the 8th day ofthis month
the people of five great States of this
Union put their seal of condemnation
upon the course pursued by Congress in
regard to the government Of the South
ern States.
This is glorious. Not alone glorious
for the party which was successful, but
for the whole people of our common
country. Glorious for the reason that
a party which has ruled and almost
ruined the country for the past eight
years, has been started on its road to
political perdition.

Mas. LINCoLN's WARDRoBE.-Just
now the newspapers have a big time
over this subject. We are not among
those who think she has been misused
in regard to her financial affairs by the
admirers of her late husband. Mrs.
Lincoln, by her own showing, has a
yearly income of $l,7OO. Now we
know of hundreds of widows-widows
of men who died while fighting face to
face with the enemy, who have not the
pittance of seventeen dollars from the
government, and for the life of us we
cannot see wherein she is entitled to the
sympathy and support of the American
people more than those who have hard
ly the common necessities of life.

Although unanticipated at the time,
our connection with the Adc0cdte as
publisher closed with the last number.
Since that date the office has changed
hands, " from boss to devil" and it is
only by the indulgence of the new edi-
tor and proprietor that we are permitted
to say good bye to those who have been
our patrons.
Our connection with the Adrocdtc
extends over a number of years past, as
devil, jour and publisher, and we desire
now to return our thanks to our liberal
patrons, whose many kindnesses we
never can forget.
Should future time require us to
appear before them again in similar
position, We hope that time aud added
experience will prepare US better to de-
serve the universal Kindness we have
always met. G. w. BARRETT.

IN assuming the sole control OF the
Aduoca; eve desire, at the start, to ask
the forbearance of our patrons for our
many imperfeotions, and to appeal to
every well l-wisher of. Elk county for
their support and encouragement. We
arc well aware of the many difficulties
to be encountered, and without this as
sistance we cannot hope for success,
We intend to publish COUNTY PAPER,
in the strictest sense of the word.
Whatever is for the benefit or advance
mcnt Of the prosperity Of Elk county,
and her hardy and honest people, will
secure our hearty support. Upon this
point we are for Elk county against the
world.
In politics, its tone will be Democrat
ic. 1t would be impossible for us to
take any other side. In being Demo
crat, we are in favor of the freedom of
the Press and as long as there is but
one paper in the county, our columns
shall not be burthened with political
matter, and they shall at all times be
open to our political opponents for the
expression Of their views, limited, how
over. in rronortion to our space.
With full determination of making
every effort to publish such paper as
every citizen of the county may be
proud Of, we solicit the earnest support
and kind indulgence Of the public.

Our readers will doubtless notice that
we have decreased the size Of the
AdOocate. AT the same time, however,
it is our intention, by keeping clear of
humbug advertisers, to, give as much
reading matter as formerly. The press
we are now using is broken down con-
eern, and was never calculated for print
ing a larger sized paper than the Advo-
cate now is, and we have concluded
that we could print as acceptable a
sheet at this size as at the old. As
soon' though, as we are able to pur-
chase a new press, we will make the
Advocate seven column paper.
