II is with feelings of profound gladness that
We have read in the columns Of the Republi-
can, high eulogies upon Mr.. Blythe Great
houses opponent for the State Convention
There has probably been no greater or softer
stake in" of late days, than that which de-
ceived the editors of The Republican into the
joyous belief that Mr.. Blythe had withdrawn
from the canvass. and thus strong hopes
might reasonably be INDUCED in, that having
no other person to vote for, the people oil
Vanderburgh would be so simple ps TO vote
for so simple man as Greathouse for the
State Convention. But the best part OF all
was. the Republican, believing Mr.. B. to be
no longer candidate, immediately discover
ed in the man virtues Of the highest order.
where before it had found nothing 10 admire.
In other words, there being no incentive 10
rascality, the Republican men at once be-
come honest, and express an honest opinion
of a gentleman who is opposing their candi-
date. Mr.. Blythe is still a candidate for the
Convention. The Republican declares he is
man whose high-minded and true integ-
nty will not allow him for moment 10 COM
promise with dishonor." 1t de flares en-
phatically there is mot a more true-hearted.
high minded man living than Jas. E. Blythe,
AM among the Wings not one more worthy
it's hocors or who would wear them with
more digoity. Applause TO the man who has
honor above all political advancement.
We thank the Republican for this honest
testimonial to the high worth of an opponent.
Mr.. Blythe merits all the editors of that pa
per can shower upon him in the way of eulo-
gy. Such is the man, and yet for his oppo-
nent stands VIM. r. Greathouse, Esq. -
Yes, opposed TO the man whom the Repub-
lican so eulogises, and in whom the commu-
nifty recognize the finest abilities added to the
highest integrity, opposed we say to this candi-
date for an office requiring all the knowledge
and ability that even such he can bring
tobear, is our Ex Representative Greenhouse,
n man as all his felow-citizens know. &c the
smallest mental calibrc and whose inability
even to fill the Office OF Representative, was
illustrated in thousand cases last winter al
Indianapolis. Will sensible and discreet
people send such man as him to the Con-
vention, when asking their votes in opposition
TO him, they have the choice Of such man
as Blythe? To suppose they will selec,
Greatlouse. is TO doubt their common sense
and to presume they care nothing for their
own interests, or the interests of Vanderburgl
county.
The Republican Of Saturday is perfectly
mum. 1t evidently feels the righteousness OF
its position. and although well knowing Mr.
Blythe was still candidate. it had not the
manliness to confess It's error, and thus state
his position 10 the world VIII The Republ
can refuse to state it was mistaken in saying
that he is no longer a candidate? Certainly
the editors should rejoice that men of sueI
high worth as they have pronounced Mr.. B.

by man for whom they can acknowledge ne
such elevated attributes as they have accor
ded Mr.. b.. And will not the Republican
tell its readers. why because Mr.. Pitcher ha.
been proposed as Senatorial candidate fol
the Convention, that it is no longer COMBAT
