This paper goes on record as saying right liere> right now, once for always, (if that will do), that any Southern man who puts him¬ self before the public as an advo¬ cate of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman silver law either doesn’t know what he is doing or carries with him a spirit that barlors but little care for his peo¬ ple. Free schools ought to come and with them compulsory attend¬ ance.

The ministers can well shake their raiments and.depart, they have done their duty. That they have been disappointed is very evident. We thank them for complimenting the town upon its good behavior during the meeting, the kindness and gener osity of the people. A very ap propriate benediction to the last sermon nreached would be and now in conclusion, good Lord, hide thy face from this people, withokl thy hand, they care for neither. Let them quietly and peaceably go on to hell, die eter¬ nally and be damned. They the'reaeh m - are beyond of Thy word. Meat a nd lard will now come down in puce. Our people feel some better over it.
