tunity to agitate Il war 10 sustain the
'enpire'S glory. and by that means glide
INTO power. The fall of the government
Was capSed bN a want of confidence in

SOME WELI.PuT Truths

The following article from the Decatur
ReDteac, gives some reasons which are not
only important to democratic journals,
but to democrats generally, why the post
offices of the country should no longer
remain in the hands of the republicans
1t is painful fact, which every publisher
Of democratic paper has had frequent
occasion to realize to his disadvantage.
that republican postmasters as a rule dis
criminate against democratic literature
This discrimination has gone so far some
times as to retard the delivery of demo,
cratic papers, 10 order that their value
may be lessened. But the article from the
ReSte1 need no comments by way of ex-
PLANTATION or endorsements II should be
copied by the democratic papers, that
their readeas may be brought to appre-
bend the importance of having the post
offices in the hands of democrats. The
Re0deas says:
An oft repeated remark is that the re-
publican papers of the country receive a
better support than the democratic ones,
and that republicans, as class, are great
er readers than democrats There is de-
gree OF truth in ii, that is not generally
understood and accounted for As rule,
upon exactly equal terms there is no
reason why democratic editor or pub,
Usher may not work up as profitable a
business as republican. The matter Of
official patronage cuts some figure, but
not as much as is often estimated Very
often, TO secure it, the publisher must
pander to political interests that hamper
ordinary business enterprise. Very often
the official organ must remain silent wher
every honest and manly purpose demands
that it should speak out. There is moth
ing this free people like so much as truth
and candor. Then again, since the ex-
elements of the war have passed away,
business men, who in the north are large
ly republican, have pretty generally
learned that advertising is purely matter
of business. 1t is done TO let the public
know what they are doing, what they
wish to buy or what they want to sell,
and not merely to help this or that news
paper man to living. They have learned
that democratic dollars and republican
dollars are alike desirable In county
like this with a population of $4,000,
there are not to exceed 1880 republi-
cans. To reach the democrats, business
