Go to Catt & Smoot for the solid hot smoking tobacco.' ' Tlio consul says that “In the sweet bye-and-bye. when Price is elected county clerk, the blank blank fool is auditor, the pieman is treasurer, the confederate is recorder, etc., etc., etc.” Then the consul will reluctant! v let go u public <»al he has h hi so long, and that’s what hurts. “Is »T tl)e pioivr guwjns?”

Horace should not be too after Mr. Zimmerman. That gentleman may possibly be preparing to present him with aii he called for. The Democratic newspapers, alluded to by the Union us having “told tiie unfortunafp, m« laueholly truth,” to defeat General Manson, have said that was their object, and they know no more about the General’s personal habits than does the consul to Turk Island. It was just such an advantage as the Union would attempt to take. Rensselaer Union: The edition (ot the Union) now published is so large that we are compelled to go to press early Wednesday evening.” Now if the consul could only im press his nonsense upon the minds of the people it might cause an increase to his circulation. Then the object for publication of the above would bo accomplished. The circulation of the Union is more than double that of uny other newspaper published in Jasper county.—Rensselaer Union. And yet the Union cannot be in duced to establish the fact by affidavit, in compliance with request not even to secure certain printing according to law. Statements like the aboVe are cheap and easily made. The low pot-house attacks of the consul upon Sheriff Robinson two years ago, which we reproduced in the Dr mocr.ytic Sentinel lust week, and resulted in a heavy majority for that gentleman, should teach him that such a scurrilous mode of canvass is not calculated to iusure him success.--Tiro consul’s filthy attacks upon the Democratic and National nominees will have the same result. The cheapest place in town to get grouerics is at Catt & Smoot’s. Try them and see for yourselves. The consul should devote the limited space in bis little paper to articles of importance to his readers. Columns of stuff gotten up for the puipose of creating distrust, dissension and suspicion among tire Democratic and National candidates, will avail him nothing. All the benefit ho will derive from them he can stick in his eye. The candidates and the people unde) stand the motives which actuates and the objects desired to boar eomplished, and will not be misled by such trickery. Go to Catt & Smoot for the Bald Head Cigars.
