The AboIi,jon Candidare.

We perceive by the Free Press - of the 7th inst.
that Mr.. De Puy, the Abolition nominee for Congress
in this district. withdraws from the track. He gives
the following reasons for 50 doing:
81 Those who desired that the abolitiOnists should
support Mr.. McCarty. in order TO have the district
by Wilmot proyiso man, would vote for
him If | should continue to be a candidate.
so. Those who are not willing to vote for Mr..
McCarty can still vote for some well known aboii-
ZIONIST aud shall be saved the extreme modification
of being the nominee of party, large portion oil
whose votes will be given to another man."
These reasons are certainly not very compliments
ry to the abolition party and exhibit considerable
degree Of squeamishness on the part of Mr.. De Puy
In the FIRST place, according to his judgment, a
number would vote for Mr. McCarty even should MIR.
De Puy continue a candidate. This shows, what we
have doubt is true that their whiggery is good
deal stronger than their abOlitionism; and Mr.. De
draws, to give them a chance of so doing without
exposing their hypocrisy.
Secondly: Mr.. De Puy is not disposed to the
chance of political maryrdom, for the sake either Of
his party or the poor negroes" Not hel 1t would
be extremely na9riiyiag to him to allow any portion
of the abolioniss to vote for him. and thus evince
the sincerity Of their professions, unless they all
would do So He courteousy, however, suggests that
they should vote for somebody else, Of they won't
vote for McCary) as if any body else would be less
sensitive than hlmsuf about losing large portion
OF their votes" and more willing ito bear such q
cross for the sake of manifesting the faith which
they profess to be imbued with.
Verify these singular reasons! And if we dit
not give Mr.. De Puy more credit for sincerity and in
genuousness Of spirit than most people do, should
be inclined to think that the determination to which
he has arrived, squiuted little towards fellow feel
ing with the wings. and evinced disposition to &C
commodate Mr.. McCarty by a transfer of the aboi
ton vote. At any rate, we have no doubt that tn,
wings will be very much gratifed at his determine
ton; that they will pat him on the back and tell hin
that he is fine fellow Perhaps they will actually
forget for while, that he ever thrust his spoon int
the whig dish

The Journal affects TO infer from Judge Wck's
speech, in the market house, that he (the Judge) ha-
ted somebody-speaks of ''outPouring Of re1lo1n"
gushing forth Of Pent-up malgnity," &c. &c. The
Journal man grows afectedly pious and mourns over
Judge VS. supposed moral defalcation in giving Ut
terance to heartfelt denunciation
This is all CANNON. The Judge hates nobody
wishes every one well-wiIl do any friendly act to
any one-is habtually goodnatured man, subject to
the ''law of kindness" The Judge felt and express
ed, not anger, but contempt for those who had assa-
ed and DETAINED him; and the Journal, to cover its
own retreat and that of its abettorS, sets up howl
about ''renoia,' ''Halienity," and all that
The following quotation from the Journal editorial
is lie viz: 'As 10 ,chigS. he denounced than as
scoTndres ia general rho mere comprising his ruin
"hor re apples scim." MISERY loves company !"
Judge w. denounced those wings who, 20 inure him,
had falsiied the truth, and their supporters. Few
wings have done that As to any one voting against
the Judge, OF dsagreeng with him in opinion all the
world knows that such things never change his feel
ings or demeanOr towards any one.
| The Journal says" Many Of those ,cLo heard him
| Judge W. 'cere astonishea and deeply norti6ed''
Not doubt Of it. every heart knows It's own bit
terness." They thought that Judge w was bound to
be Systematically misrepresented and -treaed, and
make no defence. 1t would suit them very well FOR
Him to hold still and be ayed alive without wincng
or taking proper and needfn measures to attract pub
lie attention to his single Defence against the de-
fractions of myriads kept up for weeks in stream
Such course on Judge WIS part would be quite an.
geic, because it would promote the downfall which

The following interesting Intelligence we copy from
the n. O. Mercury Of the afternoon Of the 18th ult.
The U. S. steamship New Orleans. Captain Z.
Aud, has Just arrived from Vera Cruz which place
he left on the 25ih instant.
The captain Of the New Orleans reports that Just
before he started, news arrived that General Pillow
was attacked, at place about fifteen miles beyond
the National Bridge, by large guerrilla party, on
1.-The 2Ist instant. Gen. Pillow succeeded In killing
thirty Of the guerrillas. We have other Particu-
lars
We also learn from the captain of the New Or
leans that Gen Scott within twenty-five miles of
the capital.
In letter received in this city, brought by the New
Orleans. 1t is stated that Santa Anna had been aP-
pointed Dictator, and was put in command Of thirty
thousand men.
Gen Cadwallader had reached Jaapa, but had saw
ed only about 20 out of 300 wagons he having been
obliged TO burn the others, consequence Of the mules
being killed.
The vomito was very bad at Vera Cruz, and the
deaths numerous.
/ We have received the Vera Cruz Eagle TO the 23d
instant the latest date brought by the New Orleans
from which we make the following extracts:
number (some thirty of those who left here with
tie last train, have been sent back, being unable
proceed from the fatigue necessary 10 march IN the
heat OF tie day.
/ A number Of guerrillas we're seen hanging the
Of this train, but had dared to attack it when
last heard from.
On Sunday last were shown letter from
officer in the army of some distinction, dated at Pue-
ba, in which he stated that the course pursued by
Captain Walker, has been highly approved by the
commanding General. Ii VIII be recollec:ed that
Captain Walker, recently, in carrying his company
up to headquarters, led an expedition against
Mexican villages. known the haunts of despea-
does captured and shot several of them. The letter
states that Gen. Scott says he desires to concate all
who peaceaby disposed, but that the cut-ihroat
shall be dealt with in a different manner. We
oice to hear this and trust the noble old Chief will
deal with all such in the most summary manner pos
sible, giving them time only to say their orasions.
We understand that enterprise Is on foot for the
running of an express between this place and the
towns of Alvarado and Tacaialpon, by which the
most certain communication viii be bad. This has
long been needed by mercantile community, and
sincerely trust that it may be successful, which il
cannot fail to be- if some countenance Is extended to
II by authorities.

A Contrast.

In 1915, when Nr. Foley the wing candidate
for Congress in this district, the indianapolis Junto'
and its little tails in Nobesvie, AndersontOwn, &c.
&c, gave Dir. Foley the cold shoulder the Journal
was perfectly silent-and Mr. Foley left in the
rear nearly 100 votes.
Now in 1917 the Junto is in the Congressional field,
IN the person of one of its most honored members,
and the whole pack is out, yelping full cry. Not
tongue is SILENT pen idle, and the Journal Is
literally in spasms
In 1889 Mr.. Herod was not stood up to Mr. Nc
Carly is now
The odds is the difference 1t is little of our con-
Germ; only it proves the Journal in its columns
and Mr.. McCarty in his speeches, denies, viz: that
there is vcritable Junto-that it is not Imam OF
straw" as Mr.. 8IcCarty says in his speeches, and
that the fact being true gentleman may mention it
without being grovelling demagOgue, as the Jour
nal says.
Yes Herod and Foley being candidates, the Juntc
was nearly quiescent-iust moving enough to keep
up aPpearances-and Judge Wick had an easy time
of it. But MIR. McCarty being a candidate, the word
is sup and at Wick" and every engine is at work.
The operation commenced instanter. The convention
which nominated Mr. McCariy, instead Of enlighten-
ing the public by the adoption of resolutions declaring
what wing principles have got TO be now in 1871
adopted sundry resolutions censurng the democratic
candidate, and in recess Of business, put up
squashy young pettfogger to comment on the course
Of The democratic candidate; and from that day tc
this the wing press in the district has poured upon
his head continued avalanche Of SANDER and lies.
No effort made to obtain the wing abolition
vote for Mr. Herod or Mr.. Foley; but in favor Of
Mr.. McCarty, the needful exertion and sacrifice j:
Offered, aud unnatural alliance between whiggery
and abolitionism is made
The ani-aboltion wings viii not be told Of it'll,
address of Mr.. De Puy Will never be seen in the col
umns of the wing papers, and the honest Kentucky o.
Virginia wing will never know that in the Congress
sional election of 1917 he has unwittngly stoo,
shoulder to shoulder with abolitionists.

The .ElllIO.

The Journal denies the existence of this corpora
ton, whose being has become matter of prescription.
It's members arc few. Many an honest gentleman
thinks he belongs to it, and feels his sefesteem d.
late, in consequence, who knows nothing of its Sc
cre police, aud is, in fact, but one of its puryeyors
Many young gentleman-half dandy, half scamp
thinks himself one of the leaders, when he is only
puppy, yelPng along at the heels Of tie pack.
The Junto is perpetual corporation, and corpo-
ration never dies, though it has soul. The drec-
tory is changed frequently, is the case with all
corPorations and the public may therefore be able
to name these functonaries. But that does not de-
prive the public Of the knowledge of the fact Of its
existence. The fact Of there being junto in exis-
tence is susceptible of legal proof as the fact o.
the existence of the State Bank, gangs of counter
feiters.

Election Of County Prosecutors.

The law of last winter provides for the election Of
prosecutors for each county at the August election
Many of our citizens are of opinion that the Office Of
prosecutor in the fifth judicial circuit is vacant.
in consequence of the late incumbent having received
aud accepted commission In the volunteer regiment
to serve in Mexico, and that a successor for this
county ought to be elected on the first Monday of
August next In the event of such election taking
place, we are requested TO announce that LUcIAN
BARBOUR will be a candidate for the SURFACES of his
fellow citizens for that office.

Free Trade.

The importance of foreign market, to take the
surplus products Of the country, may be partially

in 1916.

W Inc Journal says that =" Judge H1ck, IA has

Instead Of discussing The questions gitimatey before

This is untrue. Judge Wick denounced no demo
Gratis except those who, during his service in Con-
gress laid % like adderS in his PATH, for the purpose
of biting his heel and of these he never heard of but
exactly TWO He has heard of but few democrats
who even talk of failing in giving him their support
and against them be has nothing TO say.
The assertion that Judge Wick did not discuss the
questions legitmatey before the country is rich He
took up every such question: and went fully through
it. Did Mr. McCariy follow his example!
Among other things Judge w. laid down and sus-
tanned the following propositions, viz:
LIST. That the present war is just on the part Of
the United States.
ID. That it was not induced by the unconstitu-
tional conduct of the President, and that it was
forced upon the United States " by the act Of Mexico.
30. That full settlement and actual payment,
either in money, by transfer of territory desti-
ute nearly so, of Mexican population ought to be
condition of peace
4th That it will rebound to the honor and advan-
tage of the United States unspeakaby to acquire
such territory in such manner
9th. That if Mexico should refuse to pay the
indemnity justly due for sPoliations committed upon
our citizens in either money or territory, sufi-
cent territory to make matters square, ought 10 be
taken and admitted into the Union as a State, OIL
otherwise.
