cal press? From the appearance or
our columns, it would seem 30, though
we arc 10th to believe it."
The above quotation is from the
same number of the Shelbyville ReppO-
lican in which appeared an editorial
about the Home Journal, which edlto-
rial we copied and commented upon
Last week. But our eye missed the
above appeal to Conservatives, else we
should have said more than we did.
Now, let us see how the case stands
In bis editorial about the Home Jour
nal and the legal printing, the editor
Of the Republican said elf these rebel
lious sheets will persist in their mad
career, let them do 50 On empty stom,
acls," NC.
To which we replied by asking if
such argument y from the Republi-
can went to prove that it was for the
s.public interest" the law was passed.
if it was not, according TO the editors
own words, for the purpose OF pun1sh-
ing with an empty stomach those who
entertained q different political sentl-
ment from him. This deduction from
his words was evidently as true as
the proposition that whatsoever IS, &c; or
that two things cannot occupy the
same space at the same time" But
to make our conclusion clearer, if pos
siblc, we cited the fact that in this
county his paper Was read by only
three or four persons to whom he sent
it against their wiF, while the Home
Journal was read by thousands, if we
may be allowed to presume that each
subscribers paper is read by one or two
besides himself.
But, let that 60. We wish to add
our surprise that the Republican could
make an appeal for Conservatives to
advertise in his paper and help support
it, and in the same number cxult over
an "empty stomach for those who dis
agree with it politically. Indeed, he is
"loM to believe" that the merchants OF
Shelbyvillc will not advertise in his pa,
per because it is a Radical paper! Then
why not show q decent regard for the
political opinions Of newspapers that
reDresent those merchants! You arc
ready to avail yourself Of the profit
that comes from Il lcea'ized robbery OF
Conservatives, but they in turn must
lick the hand that smitcs them. We
are reminded of what Miss Flora Nc
Flilnsey said to her lover:
You know, I'm to polka as much as
please,
And flirt when like-now, stop, dOn'tyou
81 speak,
And YOU must not come here more than
twice in the week,
Or talk to me either at party or ball,
But always be ready to come when call
so don't prose to Inc about duty and stuff,
',I.lf we don't break this OIL, there Will be
time enough
For that sort ofthing; but the bargain
/ That, as long as | choose, am perfectly
, free,
For this Is a sort Of engagement, you see
> Which is binding on you but not binding
ON me-"
The Republican is flirting with the
Conservative merchants. 1t would
make it appear shameful in them to re-
fuse to advertise in its columns, be,
cause it is a Radical paper, and calls
the suggestion of the Rescue a crazy
one, to which the Rescue might re
spond;
"Lay not that ilattering junction to YOU
soul,
That not your trcspass but my madness
r speaks"
But the Republican, assuming to be
Judge, thinks all are disloyal, traitor
Gus, &c., who do not uphold the Radi
cal policy, and then argues that al
such ought to be punished with empty
stomachs. Acting upon the policy o
the Republican the Conservatives, to :
man, oughth refuse to p~atronize it.
