patriotic scribbler signs himself B. HI.
Robb et Co., and this is what he says,

We have some Dolly Var
den Democrats here weak in their
joints, and four or five who will vote
TO: Greeley, the last batch are all after
our $1,000 post-office. They do think
old white hat win be the winning man,
and therefore think their chances for
the post-office better by voting for
him. Then we have some fifty or six
ty Democrats who are going the
straight thing. Men that are Demo-
Gratis by principle and cannot be
bought by dollars and cents. Now
| we want your terms for twenty-five
or more copies of campaign Demo-
crdt.

have deep interest in knowing some-
thing of the history and character of
the valuable and veracious contribu-
tor to the great literary aud only ST.

the land. The man who has the well

he lives so much at heart that he sends
six hundred miles to inform the whole
country that portion of his neigh

ry purposes, must have himself a char

gone abroad throughout all the land
But as he seems anxious to extend a
knowledge of his shining virtues, we

few plain and simple inquiries
through our columns, to which we
shall be most happy to publish an

it may concern"
