blows Its horn next morning with the an
nouncement of an unexamplcd and sudden
increase of circulation, and forgets to say
anything about the exactly equivalent de-

On several occasions, under this method
of calculation, THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
could have gratiHed its friends with SINH
lar deception, sometimes relating TO an in
crease of thousands in its circulation; but
the present management of this journal
is content with the truth, and the truth is
that its circulation was never so large be-
fore, at this season of the year, as IL is now.
1t is fact that when we took hold of it il
was not the most prosperous newspaper in

but has, by the favor of its evcr-kind con-

which is more than can be truthfully said

where It will yield both profit and honor tc

During the past two weeks the circulation

the increase in one especial day being $50.
That is to aAy, such has been its increase if

We are informed that the Hon. W. W.
WILTSHIRE of Arkansas, is announced as an
independent candidate for Congress in the
third district of that State. As that dis
trict is largely Democratic, aud there is a
regular nominee of that party and no Re-
publican in the field, Of course Judge Will
SHIRE expects to receive n portion Of the
Republican vote. We would remind the
Republicans Of that district that, willie
WILTSHIRE was elected TO the Forty-third
Congress rs Republican, he did more than
any other man to turn the Republican
State of Arkansas over to the Democracy
who now rule it. No Republican can con-
sistcntly vote for him. If the Democrats,
whom he placed in power, choose to elect
him, let them do so. The laborer is
worthy of his hire" and WILTSHIRE la
bored earnestly for the Democrats. There
is no question Of his being "A good worker"
But Republicans should let him severely
alone. BY 81 doing they can tell how
much gratitude there is in the Democratic
heart, for the Democrats Of Arkansas owe
their control Of that State to WILTSHIRE.
aud they will be lcf, to choose between
their most efficient man AMI one whose only
merit is lis rebel record.

announcement receives additional import
