On last Saturday there WAS u countrymsn In
our city who was trying TO borrow an lntelli-
Rencer to see what Elijah had to say. II he wal

neighbor's paper, but would subscribe for tbs
lntellig.ncer; he then could see what Elijah had
to say. and he could receive light and knowledgs
from the columns of the Intelligencer. If he il
reader of radical newspapers he will always be
IN political darkness. for there is no light in the
radical party.
