hiter an absence oil nearly two weeks, pro-
tracted indeed beyond our desires we return
to find the political world of this county and
district in quite stew. On CHANGING over
such Struggling copies as we could find Of the
two " Democratic papers, published in this
city, issued within the last few days. our old
opinion Of the gross Inconsistency marking the
course of those sheets has even been height
ened. A few weeks back the Democrat was
slurring Maj. Robinson. calling him hard
names, and Denying or doubling his Democ-
racy. He was even Wing in disguise.-
Now that paper is unfolding him as pure
born, unmingated patriot. by the side ofwhom
Judge Lockhart, who is regular nominee of
the Blairsville Convention, is everything that
Democracy should condemn. We care moth
ing for the success Of either Robinson or
Lockhart. II they run as Democrats, We
hope they may be defeated. The Wander
burgi. Democrat is as usual Safeguarding
aid misrepresentation in favor OF Robinson.
and probably three -iourihs Of these articles
are from the pen of Robinson himself-while
the Republican is Just as bitter and malicious
in opposition to this candidate, and in favor
of Judge Lockhart. rt
The only prominent charge made by the
Democrat against the Judge is, that he is tied
hand and lost TO the Banks. This may be so,
or it may not be so. AT least we do know
that the charge Of correspondent Of the
/ Democrats, that ISLANDERS and The Bank
/ Committee are flooding Posey county with
/ letters "exhorting the Wings TO vote for
/ Lockhart, and use all their influence to eleat
Robinson,' is most ridiculous flsehood. =
We never gave Maj. Robinson sufficient i'm
portaGce TO write letter Tor or against him
and much less would q respectable Bank
Committee" dirty themselves by connection
with him i'll any manner, or elevate him to
an object OF much attention. Nor do we sup
pose there is the slightest danger of homes
Wing votes being given the Major in any
such numbers, rs would make it matter o.
importance TO the party. The Wigs vii
scarcely vote for n man who has abused apC
viliified them SO much as has Maj. Robinson
The Republican we find eulogizing q
candidate for the State Convention, accor
ding to him the highest virtues and ability

But to this inconsistency we have alluded ii
a separate article.
But another Senatorial candidate for The
Convention, has appeared within the las
