The Worthington Advance has in
some respects been good raper.-Jack-
son Republic.
This confession we have wrung from
the editor of the Republic by working
upon his fears. But we are not to be
bought off 10y any such faint praise. If
the editor of the Republic does not
come out with frank and full acknowl-
edgement of the supel iority of the AD-
VANCE over all competitors, we shall
get up another blizzard and blow his
new brick Office into everlasting splith-
Greens. Then we shall heap Goals of
fire on his head by giving him a situa-
ton in our office.
