/ Now, my readers. I have laid before ybu in
full the grounds on which fhis case was qusshed
and give Mr. Bisbee the full benefit Of having
hin cass placed before them that they and the
public can judge Of the merits fot themselves.
l keep nothing back. shsw you the very small
hole through which Mr. Bisbee crept and saved
himself beyond question, from peeping Though
the graies Of State prison, OF gracing The jew

in our forests. show you the nagrow escape
made by MIR. Bisbee and permitted him the op-
portanity to be the candidate of the Republican
party, at this time asking for Congressional
honors before the people OF the I'd Congressional
District. and ask you is he more deserving than
had justice taken its coursei Is be 10 day any

people, render just and true verdict at the polls
in November next You are now the jury 10
the case. You will not be met with lechIicali-
ties to prevent you from rendering just and
true verdict based on justice Don't you think,
my readers, and particularly new comers to our
State, the Republicans have placed before you
candidate of very, very doubtful reputation.
Why did not Mr.. Bisbee stand up like an honest
man would If be knew he was not guilty td the
crime and demand trial as an honest man
would? No. like Pat when before the court and
the judge told him he would have justice done

Mr.. Abrams, in his mastery exposition OF Re-
publican virtue, as composed in this band OF i'm
maculaies, took serious exceptions to its head in
the form of one Horatio Jenkins, Jr, who his the
honor TO be the head and front Of Republicinism
in The State, as he is Chairman of The State Exec
utive Committee. 1 will be forced to merely
mention the case of Horatio No Q, a. space will

allow your daughters to marry a man bearing
the name of Horatio." 1t seems to be o very
bad name, and steer clear of it.
Reports from up-the-river counties are glorious.
am sorry to inform my readers that my friend
Leib" :" has got himself into q little financial
difficulty with my friend Greeley. 1t is the.efect
of evil association. As Leib informs me, it is
in regard to q snaH loan made of Greeley, al men
toned in one of my last letters-repOrt saysabout

was q convert to Simon and Bisbee, and lie was
generous and woudrous kind. l mean to defend
Leib,p for he is . convert and must be defsnded.

shall draw up some exceptions, nine of them, and
get the matter quashed, as Bisbee did. and that
will save him. The truth is, Leib associated with
such men as Lee, Lucas, Ledwith, Bisbee, Como
yer and Hughes, and can you wonder at any lit
tie irregularities in money matters, and if lie did
get three hundred dollars from Greeley with
very doubtful man as his endorser, there are
others in the same boat with Leib,7 and / fear
Greeley win have the bag to hold" Did not
