With this isiue Of the BULLETS our
connection temporarily ceases. For
oyer ten yerrs the BULLErIx has been a /
living institution in your midst, endsav-
Cring to promote the material interests
OF the people Of the county You have !
built it up, and you have sustained it.
In return, it has, and will, endeavor to
promote your prosperity, and the inter
est Of the Democratie,C Conservative party
Harmony in this party, which alone can
save our imperilsd institutions, has, dur
ing shis long period, prevailed. May
every good citizen sseek its unity, and
frown upon ali attempts to SOW divisions
among the members eff that party which
alone can save US in State and National
affairs. For nearly twelve months we
have labOred assiduously to make the
BULLET1N paper worthy of our county.
At no time have We been forgetful of
the interests Of any class of our citizens,
and have always sought to promote the
interests of our people, who have so gen
new vocation of editorial life. The
morals, material interests and welfare of
our people, 1t has ever been our aim to
promote, whilst giving them the news of
the day; and catering for their amuse-
ment We have reason to believe that
generous public viii overlook our
shortcomings, and acquit Us of eve hav-
ing written anything which could Offend
the modestY or shock the sensibilsty of
our wives and daughter who were read
ers Of She BULLETIS. In fact, journal
lists we have so far excluded accounts of
murders, rapes, hangings, Beeeher-
Tilton stuff, and the like, that we have
run the risk of considered behind our
contemporaries in this exciting, and at
the same time demoralizing, reading for
the public. In this we may have failed
to crafty the wishes of some few, but
We do not regret it, as it is far better
with us to hope that we have not written
a line for which We should blush and
should now wish to erase, than to know
that we had gratifed the pruriens tastes
Of those who seek such problem as nigh
more properly sought for in the Polio
Gazette, or such kindred points.
