Ed,tor Aggus;
beg you viii allow me space in which
10 address few words To the voters OF
Preston county. ] have heretofore boon
accounted an active and jealous mombcr
of the Republican party, and have
uniformly sought by every means in my
power to maintain tho asccndency ofthat
body i'm Preston county. As a party We
have had uninterrupted sway i'm Preston
county for something like eighteen years,
and here on tie threshold OF the cam
paign Of 1873, laying aside my PARTISAN
ship and calmly regarding matters from
the standpoint of an old citizen, asking
nor wanting no Office, but seeking only
the common good Of my fellow cii IONS.
nave been asking myself the question,
and / call upon tho voters Of Preston
10 ask themselves the question, mint has

answer is most huu.iliaung. 1t has
brought us incrc ised and iacrc1ging tax
alton; &c has given us, through tho wire
working Of rings aud cabais dishonest
aud incapable officials and represeIt,-
tiyes. who have sought and used ONCE
to pillage and plumber the people at has,
in word, given us the most corrupt and
dishonest municipal government THAT
ever cursed aud disgraceI the people of
any county. II this is tho true answer
to the question Cauu / leave ID Co the in
tolli8ent voters of Preston county, IL be-
comes tho imperative duty of every hon
est man To turn his back upon am ORGANS
izitiDn that, with such high opp9rtuui-
ties for good, has made for itself such "a
record Of evil and wrong doing. For my
own part, j shall oppose itas heartily and
as vigorously as / formerly supported 3D..
and shall oppose by my vote ana by
such influence as ] may possess. every

support to- the National Grccuback party.
because believe with them that Tho m Ju-
ey that ws- good enough go pay our sol

for the bondholder; that as the groonback
currency represents the only part OF the
national debt that costs the people moth
ing, that 30 should replace the National
Bank issue which costs the people six
por cent year in gold that f)r the same
reason the bonded debt should be dc-
orcOscd and the volume OF greenback cur

Of the business wants Of the country, and
that all legislation avOriug ono class at

And spread his saffron glories wide,
The twinkling Howeret 10 deride,
With all al upstart's mien.

"whst though you hold your head so high?
A little month will see you die,
While Flora hath decreed that
Shall blossom all the year"
An so IL is with sterling worth
No matter what their state or birth;
The Haunting upstairs OF the earth
Shall fade before our eyes
Bat Virtue is perennial flower,
Though blooming oft in humble bower,
Content and peace her only dover:
Your daffodils may live their hour
The daisy never dies
