The political sentiments of the editor, will, nay must crop out.

We are of that posi* live turn of mind, that, were we to attem pt to seem oblivious to that which is trans piring in the political wqrld we would feel as though we ought to be hooted and jeered wherever we went. Besides, a neutral ” paper—published iu Oregon at least, is of but little consequence either to proprietor or mankind in general— such an one neither eKites contempt nor praise; is an existing nopenity—a stalking corpse—prized by none So far as commercial ccrned it matters little is on in polities so it tai other. Business is bus understands business wi 1 generally adver- I tise. We take pleasure in saying, that, dur ing our journalistic career in Lafayette, we have generally been treated with cour tesy and consideration by the opposition ; that many of them have aided our enter, prise with material patronage, for all of which we are becomingly grateful. Had * j we adopted and pursued a course of obse quious and crawling truculence, we have no doubt they wou|A have spurned rather j * 1 than patronized - us, )Ve have always made it a rule to “ hue to the line regard less of whose face the chips flew in,” but to eschew personalities and personal abuse. Though during the last political campaign in* this County, we did all in our power for the Democratic candidates on general principles, the names of the majority of. the opposition candidates were not men- tioned in duriBg the entire I' I * * campaign nothing to say against C nothing to say for them. I 1 ■ : We shall in the future as in the past, pursue the even tenor of our way, advo- eating the cause of the Democracy and Op posing the policy of the opposition, beliv- ing the same to be wrong and dang< ;erou8, and not in harmoney with the genius of our institutions ; and should the action of that party call forth at our hands at any time sharp criticisms or strong language, and should ought appear offensive to anyone, we have this apology to offer : that in all human probability it was not him we meant. All we ask is that others- will grant us that.which we are willing to grant them, viz : the right to think as they choose on questions affecting alike themselves and us.
