Correspondence

From a private letter from Mr..
Pembroke Mercer, of Whitesville. we
take the. liberty of publishing the
following extract, containing sterling
sentiments, and presenting ideas that
can not be controverted:
On the national ticket we have only
to oppose q man of whom his sup
porters can say nothing better than
that if they succeed in getting a ma
jority in Congress opposed to the n
political theory of which he has been
a lifelong, consistent and powerful
advocate, and which they assured us
was the chief question at issue in this
campaign, he will not be able to do
much harm. The Cincinnati dose
seems, if possible, rather o nau-
seating to the Liberals" in this sec
ton than the Democrats. In fact,
though l cannot say with confidence
whether the Democrats will select q
candidate whose political views more
nearly coincide with their own than
Horace Greeley's, / an quite sure
that if it were possible the Liberal
Republicans would.
BE assured that by opposing the Gin
cinnati candidate you are working
for I;epublicanism, considered either
as the name of a political party or as
a form of Democracy; for if q num-
Der of well known political wire-work-
ers can, by a mere hue and cry, without
any real reason, induce a majority OF
the voters in the United States to
vote for a man for President who.
however much his private character
may be justly extOllcd, they know
is opposed to the political principles
that they wish to sustain, it will 30
far toward proving the truth of the
absolutist theory that the masses OF
mankind are incapable of self-govern-

AND EFO

The organ of the County Court
wakes wroth in its issue of last week.
We had intiInated that county officers
to keep pace with their promises be-
fore the people" at whom the Era af-
fects to ~snecr-ought to have all coun-
ty jobs Of any consequence done by
the lowest bidder. We fail to per-
ccivc why the county should not be
rs economical in the matter Of get
ting printing done. as i: should be in
that of building bridges, or any other
work, and in this connection think
with our neighbOr, that
What q pity it's such difference should he
'Twixt twrediedum and tweedledee."
We are berated without mercy for
al alleged attempt to "run down the
price of printing to a mere nominal
sum- &C, and intimations r made
thar if we insist OH the "rcformcrs'
carrying out reform in this little mat
ter of printing. he will revenge him
self by doing other advertising for
nothing. Now, we carr nothing for
our rich neighbours threats. BY o
monopoly OF county patronage" for
q couple of years, no may be in cOndi-
tiOn to ''work for nothing and board
himself" But we propose nothing Of
the sort. For transient and legal adj
vertisements we have our rates, and
propose to maintain and insist upon
them.
On large contracts for advertising,
however, publishers usually make a
discount-the Era among the rest
and the county, which does a great
deal in that line, should get the bene-
fit of that discount, be it great or
small.
Is it economy for county officers to
rend their work to Hannibal through
Mr.. Era, for which he receives a COM.
mission of fifty per cent, without
doing a part or particle of the work?
Does not this look like paying some
thing for nothing7 If the Hannibal
company can afford to do the work or
dcrsd through the Era at a reduced
price, il should do SO for the county.
We ask the taxpayers if this docs not
look like the kind "foster children
were trying to favor their venerable
father, the Era.
The editor says:
what a pity this Cincinnati econo-
mist had not arrived in the State while
the Radicals had control Of the Legis-
laturc. He has now forever lost the
opportunity of having his novel idea
If having printing done by the low
est bidder Incorporated into the law,
since his Radical friends will never
again do onr law-making and his in
inence with Liberals and Democrats
will hardly grow sufficiently to enable
him to accomplish his purpose with
them"

ada for this country a few years be

What It Puts Me in Mind of.

The Era's Greeley hat reminds me
OF an old farmer that was in the stock
business-calves and "sich." lie had
good luck at first; had some fine calves,
and built o large shed over them.
But the calves began to die off, till
there was but one little runt left, and
the old farmer came out M morning
and found all his fine calves dead and
the little runt still living. After
looking at the shed, then at the sur
viving calf, he spoke thus: "a large
she'd over a small calf" SANcHo. !

The Vice Roy proposes voluntarily TO lay

citizens. and to submit himself as well as
them to the operation of just and equal writ

Judiciary with the same deliberate ana

other branch Of his Government, and mas Sc
cured the services of capable and honorable
men, both natives and Europeans, to carry
out his plans. The foreign powers have al
ready consented to the abolition OF their Con-
sulir jurisdiction, and only the consent Oh inc

ha, been given. This is a great step forward

PENITENCE TO ORDER.

Although Mr.. Greeley is exceedingly careful
in the use of language when speaking to his
fellow-citizens, the Grant newspapers having
q talent for falsehoOd do not find 1T dlihcult
IN misrepresent him. When he said he wanted
the late Rebels welcomed back not as peni-
tents but as felow-ctizens who have seen
4" the error of their ways, and have renewed
their allegiance in faith to the country" Mr.
Greeley meant precisely what he said, and the
thickest head ought not to have misunderstood
him. Yet one Administration Editor brayed
out: Gle wants them to see that they
"have been in error, but he does MT want
4" them to be sorry for itln Good Heavens to
think that stupidity like this should be per-
mitted to tamper with pen and ink and types
Is every Confederate to be required t, stand
in church door, wrapped in white sheet,
with candle in his hand, before he is re-
instated in his civil rights
Grants new notion is that all the Southern
soldiers, from generals down to corporals,
must cry "Unclean Unclean !" from the ris-
ing Of the sun until the going down of the
same. II they will but do this they may be
allowed to vote-for Grant and WILSON, But
if they insist upon voting for Mr.. Greeley,
and decline to go through the humiiating
and degrading performances, then their regen-
Grafton is declared by all Grants Postmasters
to be exceedingly dubious. The Grant policy
is to treat the Southern people as naughty
children who must say that they are sorry be-
fore they can have any gingerbread; but the
nursery policy hardly applies to the govern
