The Okolona Miss States repels
with contempt the notion that Jeff
Davis has his eye upon the Senator
ship from Mississippi. 1t says:
We hardly think he would step down
from his present proud and dignifed
coigne of vantage to take the place. We
hardly believe he would even accept
unanimous tender of the Presidency,
for he holds a position to-day that is
higher than that of the highest poten-
tate ON earth. But we tell the New
York Tribune, and the supporters of
the New York Tribune, that if the
Confederate chieftain wanted an Office
at the hands of his people he could
have it, and neither MISSISSIPPI nor the
South would care two straws whether
"the North draws the line at Jefferson
Davis" or not.

The Jew.

4AS OSWe
The Jew still walks The earth, and
bears the stamp of his race upon bis
forehead. He is still the same being as
when be first wandered forth from the
hills Of Judea. If his name is associa-
ted with avarice and extortion, and spo-
ken in bitterness and scorn, yet, in the
morning of history, it gathers round 1t
recollections sacred and holy.
The Jew is a miracle among the ma
tions. A wandererin all lands, he has
been 8 witness Of the great events of his.
tory for more than eighteen hundred
years. He saw classic Greece when
crowned with intellectual triumphs. He
fingered among that broken but beauti
'ful architecture that rises like "a tomb
stone over the grave of her departed
rs The. Jew saw Rome, the mighty heart
of natiene, sending its own ceaseless
life's throb through all the arteries OF
its vast empire. He, too, has seen tha,
heart cold and siiii in death. These have
perished, yet the Jew lives on-the same

vive. He wanders captive in the streets
OF his own once queenly Jerusalem, tc
mediate sad and gloomlly on the relics
OF ancient power. Above him shines
the clear sky fair as when 1t looked
down on the towers of Zion; but now
sias beholds only . desolate city ant
an unhappy land. The world Is hi
home. The literature Of the ancien

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-11-02

The pious editor of the Democrat
takes exception to Mr.. Urner be-
cause he is a temperance man. After
the disgraceful scenes of the closing
hours of the last Democratic House,
we can't imagine how any respecta-
bic man, much less the sanity editor
OF the Democrat, can consistently OPP
pose Mr.. Urner because he is a sober
man ; or how he can support man
who went through our county { y
ing, whenever occasion offered, to
induce men to drink. saying that
"whisky would hurt no man." as
did George Peter.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-11-02

The quiet or our county has been
disturbed by a party of Democrats of
the bowling kind. Extravagant in
statement, wild-eyed, uncertain of
purpose, they have gone from No. s
to Grantsvile, intlicting themselves
upon a long suffering people, with
reckless assertions and voracious APP
petites.
The people Of Garrett have heard
the "ring" agents to their hearts
content. They will have none of
them.
