excellent one and the telling points
with which it abounded, were greet

"a combination has been formed, indeed, Of
Democrats and Republicans; but it has been
formed by calling npon. the Democrats not to re-

it in Difference to the creed IT its inveterate
my. and by inviting Republicans not to repudiate
practices which were at the bottom Of their dis
content, but to stamp them with their approval
by the support Of the persistent defender Of the
practices, Horace Greedy. Democracy has been
stripped Of. all principle; Republicanism has
been voidsd of all moral sense and material has
been gained for the organization Of . party

THE lssUE.-We understand that certain par
ties in White Cioud say that this canvass 10 not
. question between candidates, but that it is an
issue between Sol. Miller aud John Utt. Now,
- neither Sol Miller nor John UT is . candidate,
We cannot see how this issue can be forced in.
Why it is dragged in, We are unable to say; bnt
we know that UT himself has been busy working
up this issne all Summer. Because we deemed
it to our interest to move our Office to Troy, he
has endeavored to excite feeling against MS at
White Clond, and against candidates whom vs.
favor-but, we are happy to say, with very poor
success. Whe presume he is working ont his
revenge upon us, for disregarding his wishes,
last Spring. When he found we had made mp
our mind to move, he seemed to think it would
have an unfavorable effect upon the town, and
came to us with this modest proposition: He
"wisI,ed we would stay and help keep things mp
for just year longer, until he could get rid of
his property, then the d-d town might 60 to
hell! He had done all for that place that he in-
tended to, and had never got any thanks for it 2"

Cloud to punish ms for not assisting him to sell
his property, that he might let the town go to
hell, and rs with it!

Horace Greeley may be able tn prove, By rhat

their symPathizers are running over with friend
