Fight.
From the Brownsville States.

From the Brownsville States.
There are no Cheatham and
johnson men amongthe Democ-
racy that we know of. n Nobody
wears a brass collar around his
neck, and nobody either belongs
to Cheatham or to Johnson. 1t
is true. that their unfortunate
canvass divided the party at a
critical iuncture and caused its
defeat, bat it is we'll for them to
remember that the unfortunate
occurrence happened ia 1872
and this is 1874. We consider
it the height Of folly, and as
being altogether absurd, for
free white Democrats to call
themselves Cheatham men or
.Johnson men. Be your own
men, and do not belong to any
body but yourselves, and vote
for men or measures if they ap-
proach true Democratic princl-
pies, and you will always be
right uo@ 81
The support of Cheatham or
johnson in 1872 did not give
either of these distinguished
gentlemen a bill-of-sale to the
Democratic voters. WE were
endeaYoring to elect one or the
other to Congress as servants
of the people, and not as mas
ters ! and it is sickening IN q
Republican country and among
Democrats to hearmen ealledaF
ter them, as negroes used ia the
days Of slavery to bear the
names Of their owners. Ne
had our preference in that race,
and gave our editorial and per-
sonal support to our choice in a
manner not TO be misuhder-
stood; but We never dreamed
by deing so that VIC should be-
come the political property OF
anybody. We are sick and
tired Of hearing the party divi-.
led by two names, who allowed
the Narragansett ''Injun" to
get away with both of them, to
use somewhat the expressive Ian
guage of the race course Let
us stop all this foolishness, and
let it be understood that we are
neither Cheatham men or John
son men, but freemen and Dem
ocrats, who are determined to
give cur support to the men and
measures that will best conduce
to the vital intercstof yoRr ccun-

The Newspaper and the
Advertiser.

Say what you will, it's human
nature to favor those that favor
you, and do it honestly. A lib
eraladvertiser, in a reputable bus
mess is always a good fellow, as
mean men never advertise.
When you hear a man express
contempt for the newspapers set
him down as afool. If you want
to te st him, and prove that be
lies, puff him, and see how pleas
ed he will be, and how he will
pat you on the back. There is
nothing that one could do but
what would be forgiven and for
gotten, sooner than a little un-
complimentary sluib in a news
paper. You may go on all your
life saying good things every
day about some person without
one word of credit; but the first
item OF reprimand, and all yotl
have done is forgotten a. once,t
and you have bitter relentless
enemy from that time. Every
person who wants to purchase
any kind OF merchandise will
read an advertisement Of that
merchandise whenever it APP
pears before him. While we
believe that every person en-
gagged Ia respectable business
should advertise, we also be-
iieve it to be the duty of the
publisher, everything else being
equal, to de what We can, when
ever The opportunity offers, to
favor those who favor him.
For ourselves, we always stIy
by our friends, and never yet,
heatheRish as it may seem, for
got an enemy
