citizens that they either want the intelli.
gence to detect the Improper influences
or the virtue to reprove those who employ
those influences.
But it seems the maternal authority of
the organ has had its effect upon the smaller
or cub organs. They have been so chastened
by the discipline inflicted upon them that
they whimper, beg pardon and promise
never to do so any more. The organ has
found it necessary to correct with some
ascerbity two of these refractory journals
which have been cutting up under ''im-
proper influences.
1t expressed the fear that the Bulletin
'has yielded to the pressure said by the
Picayuae to have been exerted by Messrs.
Kellogg and Packard in the interest of the
continuance Of Radical rule in this State"
Thus indirectly charged with obeying
improper influences, the smaller, or cub
organ, Immediately renounced its equo-
vical position, and was thus rewarded:
We are unable to reconcile the conflicting
sentiments Of these two articles, but We
deem it due to the Bulletin, to express our
sincere qualification at seeing it resume its

conspirators who propose to perpetuste

he following is extracted from the order

We have recently been greatly grat;ded
