good of the country. 1t was present at the
birth and death of the American, Abolition

grievances of the Greenback party, and
thereby render its further existence unnec>

upon the election to-day,naay
bring our farmers a greater
harvest, in the fruits Of good
government, than all the
grain they can plant. Go to
the polls, and give one day to
your country.

We received the other day letter from
an esteemed patron, enclosing a check for
$500, the first paragraph of the letter read
ing:
Enclosed fnd check for $500. I am
under the impression l did not send it."
Unfortunately for us, on turning to our
books we found he had "sent it." ith his
usual promptness, some time ago, and we
were compelled to enclose the check and re-
turn it unused. Whilst doing SO we were
forced to the sad reflection: "How many
there are who seem never to think of pay
ing once" We hope the lesson of honesty
and promptness taught by the relation Of
this act off worthy patron will have the eff
feet of causing some who have never paid us
at all to settle their dues for once.
