True Merit Always Wins

Bedford & JfctLfpyiiite county town, though many -persons, who are aware of this fret, persist in calling Morion % that name. Bradford was until recently the name of the corporation, but for maay years past the post-office has beenMonon. The town and postoffice are now rinited under one n ime, and all who, are acquainted with the fact should so recognzie it, in order that strangers may not be lead into error.— Monticello Herald.

|-»i. » The editor of tbo Rensselear Republican, not receiving a complimentary ticket to the show, jumped on to our home minstrels with both feet last week. The boys are jingling Reneeeiear dollars in their pockets just the eame.—Delphi Times. The Timesis way off in the above statements, as the so-called home minstrels did leave a number of complimentary tickets at the Republican office, but of which, we rejoice to say, no use was made. Neither do we believe that anyone in Delphi, hag heard the music of those jingling dollars very extensively, as the young ruffians got on u gloriorirdrunk and spent all they made, and a little more, in the saloons here. Abuse and billingsgate are the common weappns es- the average •democratic and long practise has made the most of them adepts in their use. They are ordinarily occupied in slandering the republican party, and its leaders, but when they turn against each other, as ro uetimee happens, the resulting ribaldry is something beyond conception. The editors of the Valparaiso Messenger and the Michigan City Dispatch, are engaged in an altercation through their respective papers, and that they tell some pretty hard things about one another, is proved by a few specimens. Francis*, of the Dispatch talks in this manner; “A miserable •Christlsss whelp named Zimmerman who bums around Valparaiso, <fcc.” While Zimmerman retorts by calling Francis: A monstrosity, a lepross wretch, a villainous scoundrel, who ought to be in the penitentiary, a loathsome political dead-beat, a moral leper, a coward, a blackmailer, aud other terms too foul for repitition.

Tb# youthful Nubbin Ridger who ewer the uamee of Orapo Island, and Uncle Simon,famishes the “Union Items” for the Democratic Sentinel, makes a silly attempt to criticize the typography of The Republican, in the last issue of the Sentinel, but only succeeds in exposing his own ignorance. The matter itself is really not worthy of notice but we think that it will be an act of kindness to the young man himself to suggest to him the advisability of refraining from meddling with matters which he knows nothing about. He calls attention to an instance where h IK thinks the ab. eence of quotation’ marks, is an terror in punctuation, but which is nothing of the kind as the universal usage of newspapers writers will show. Typographical errors ean of courso jre found in the column* of tiiriffy paper, take for instance {the vary letter in which <Grape attempts his criticism : that document as it appears in the. Sentinel cun not less than sixteen full sized

errors, and if the compositor thereof had followed “copy” a little More closely, heaven only knows what it would have been like. The relief given to catarrh of the a general weakness of tho#«ferii, by the southing effect down's Iran Ritter. it simply! - jA. /..I ■ i
