Deputy Marshal Vandercook arrived from

prisoner Watrin. He found the convict in
safe keeping and very reluctant about re-
turning, saying he had rather die than be

solely at the instigation of that paper. The
DEMOCRAT is not inclined to disallow the

but there would be something very appro-
pirate about it if the Tribune would claim
the wind storm of yesterday.

will elevate it, we will bear It aloft, we will
invite the men Of all cities and all parts of
our lands to come and dwell in peace and
