SALUTAToRY.A-Having enticcd the
editor and associate out of town, we,
the devil, mount the tripod, with the
pen, which is mightier than the sword,
In one hand, and our briar, which is
capable of blackcr deeds than the
sword, in the other. As is customary
with a change Of editors, we proceed
to mark out our course of advocacy
during our short, but we hope, bril-
liant career. We have always thought
that our light had been hid under a
half-bushel but shall now embrace the
opportunity of shining. During our
short hours of cditorship, we shall
support the independents Democratic
Republican parties,-as long as our
pencil lasts. We shall keep all par
ties advised of the wrongs committed
by either and all the political parties.
Therefore, we would ask that all men,
bcrs of the different organizations
read us tri-wcekly, that they send in
their printing to us, without fear or
favor, being satisfied that we can do
the work as well as any of the one
idea party. During our short career,
we shall never stoop to attack the
private character of any one who has
none. Nor try to build up one for
any who has one already established.
As to the local news, nothing in sight
shall pass our notice. Do what you
will, somebody will be kind enough
to give US the facts, and they shall be
stated. Our independence shall con-
tinue until one of the editors heaves
in sight, and then we will vanish.
We shall expect our contemporaries to
quote largely from us, without credit,
that we may accuse them of theft.
We have not as yet thrown out our
Webster's Unabridged or destroyed
any of the notes OF the real editor, nor
do we intend to do so until we are
satisfied that our greatness is appre-
ciated. Papers containing this arti-
Gle can be had at the publication
office for one bit each, and if the pur-
chaser is not satisfied with his pur-
chase his money will be returned to
him. 1t may be well enough to here
state that by the adoption of the
course above referred to, we shall ex-
pect the patronage and confidence of
the entire community. II will be
the aim of the TINES to keep the
stock dealer posted upon the mines of
the State and advise them to always
buy when they are low and sell when
high, thereby putting money in their
purses to buy beer, etc. with. Take
our advice and YOU will all be sure To
make money and be able to pay up
your subscription promptly. We
shall strenuously oppose the initiation
Of the currency until we can get
some to be inflated. We shall also
oppose Chinese Generalization, negro
equalization, foreign propagation,
and American condemnation. These
and many other things will be done
for the benefit of the masses, without
money and without price, fort com
mon veal. But one OF the edit1rs has
been heard from and we again quietly
sink into oblivion. Yes the edito.
did come in, and found to his horror
that that imp OF Satan, "the devii''
had occupied the sanctum, and witt
one of his haols on Webster and the
other on our new plug hat was hold
ing forth In grand panegyric OF
himself - the devil. That small
typographical spirit of evil now
lies in comatose state beside the
pressman's bottle aud ii he wakes up
sufficiently to experience the pain OF
being killed, we shall ask our fricads
TO attend the funeral.
