the last number of its issue will convince its
host OF readers and McPike's many friends that
il was not All IN vain, We too, like the Morning

prehend that saw ike device at the head of

OUR jovial friend, II. A. McPike, Esq OF the
Cambria FREEMAN, has bought new press,
and enlarged his newspaper II about he size
tally would be impossible. for il has long been
regarded as one Of The best country uewspa-
pers. On the other hand, he has lost the ad-
vertisinS OF the county accounts, because he
refused to insert them at a breakdown price,
dictated py Two members pi the BOARD OF JouH-
~ Commissioners, zone llenocrSt and one Ike
putlicuul, who, in 81 mistaken zsaI for RetTeuch-
ment and Hcform, have got 70 robblng honcst
mechanics OF the just prices OF their labor. The
consequence IS, the great body OF the Demo
cratic citizens OF :hat county vii! be deprived
OF seeing the official advert isements, in which
every tax payer Is interested.
