tive editor of the Recorder should have
written such an article. Verify, it does
you more harm than the injustice you
complain of, for m is only a matter OF
dollars and cents, and from the tenor
Of your complaint the inference could
be drawn that a good share of patron
age would buy you over from the sup
port of God to the support of the Dew

calls are the o%utcroppings Of Satan s
spirit,
Now, suppose Conservatives do moi
support You as they should, will such
an appeal rs you make have n salutary
effect, think you? Did you ever know
a man to succeed by begging2 You
ought to have known human nature
better. Shakespeare has truly said:
'For who not needs, shall never lack a
friend;
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy"
Wen presume to say to you-stand
square up to your political principles
and stand square if you lose the last
subscriber you have and never get O
single advertisement. And do not beg
them, nor ask q Con ervativc to sup
port you because your paper is q Con
servative paper. Just conclude that
he is u poor Conservative in practice,
but keep your conclusion to yourself.
Why, sir, we have some of the mostin
c%orrigible Radicals rs subscribers to the
Home Journal, and we'd rather have
them than as many Conservatives, for
they need conversion, and we would
rejoice more over the return Of n Of
them to reason, humanity and justice,
than we would over ninety-nine al
ready in the fold. We'd rather ask Il
Radical to take our paper than ask a
Conservative, for pride would keep US
from requesting the Conservative to do
his duty towards his county paper
Besides, if he be a good Conservative
one who likes our political views and
is not so foolish and lukewarm as to
allow a personal dislike Of us to mill
tate against the success Of mutual prin-
ciples that man will comc up and sub
scribe without our solicitations.
But we DO want the Radicals to take
our paper. We feel about them as

of Pennsylvania under his control du.
ring the war, If they would be allowed
to pray for Lincoln and the noble Lee
told them Yes, for if any man on earth
needed the benefit of prayer, President
Lincoln did. We think the Radicals
need the wholesome doctrine of De-
mocracy-equality of taxes, equality
Of representation. and white Men for
a White Mans Governmsnt-more
than any persons on earth. But what
form Of prayer a suit their turn how
they con ever be pardoned and yet re.
cain the effects for which they have al.
most murdered Liberty in this land of
obedient men and weeping, lovely wo.
men, and innocent children, it passeth
our comprehension to tell. We would
step considerably out of our way to get
q Radical to subscribe for the Home
journal, and most cordially thank him
and take his money But il Conserva.
