VNHE FIRST PREMIUM AT THE GREAT
Il st. Louis Fair for 1869 was awarded to the
manufacturers Of this beautiful boot It com
bines all the utility of the sew cd boot with the
cheapness Of the pegged boot. Its e0nstruc-
ton is in this wise; instead Of pegs, peculiar
shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp, and smoothly and securely clinehed,
thus holding the soles and uppers together so
tight that they can never rip or give way
They have oil the smoothness and elasticity Of
the sewed boot, and none Of the disadvan-
tages attaching to the pegged boot. We sell
them at price but trihe more than that of
the pegged boots; thus we furnish you with
something that is indeed economical We

WIRE-PULLERs.- correspondent, who
signs himself Commodore Stout" in
forms us that Barbour Lewis, Beecher,
Beaumont, Hanson, Mulvihill, John
League, Harry s. Lee, and others, are
wire-pulling forplaces. They expect, he
says, TO slip into fatsituatons by playing
smart game ON citizens of Irish descent
at the next election; but we think they
will be foiled in their game, for Irishmen
generally are pretty keen. When they
discover that these gentlemen, for selfish
purposes, are trying 10 make tools Of
them, they will be on their guard and
give them cold shoulder. The Irish
are a patriotic and Independent people,
and cannot be ledto the polls like pack
of ignorant Africans, at the beck of any
man or set of men They are Democrats
to the backbone A few of them, in the
hight of passion or spleen, may turn aside
for moment; but when the sober second
thought comes, they Will Hook to the,
party that has so long befriended and
defended them. We have no fears of
success in the coming election, and con-
sequently care little what wire-working
goes on among such played-out politi-
clans as Barbour Lewis, Beaumont
Beecher & Co. We must mind the motto
of "principles-not men, and not soil
our fingers by dabbling in the dirty water
Of persona! slang, When we do so, the
small chaps who now swim on the surface
of politics will sink to the bottom. Every
rich man, poor man and patriot is inter
ested in the drowning of Radicalism.
This county has lost so much money by
it that none but crazy man would vote
for men who uphold its principles. Let
the wire-workers pull away in peace.
The people know them, and that S enough.
