COL HENRY s. MOTT-A NOBLE ViNDiCATloN,
We invite the careful attention of readers to the io-
lowing correspondence During the late canvass we on
several occasions spoke of Mr. Mott and denied IN the
most emphatic the impuations OF his conne1on
with the nothngs which were published in the op-
position presses In doing So relied not only upon his
manly letter but upon knowledge Of the man, upon
the of the sterling democracy of the region in
which he resides and upon the fact that he was making
exerons for the of his colleagues upon
the democratic State ticket. The action of the know
nohings in making him their nominee however and the
fact that they have voted for him. ahough they We're evil
IDENTIFY induced pursue that course for the reason that
Mr. Darse his opponent an adopted citizen, and be-
cause they wished blind democrats as to the real object
of their organization by having democrat upon their
ticke have thrown around his position shadow which
we rejoice to say is now completely dspeed The letter
addressed TO Mr. Mott written by gentlemen residing
in his own district several of whom well known to the
democracy the State They familiar with his course
during the canvass and with his character. His many
answer will we trust set at rest all doubts which may
have existed upon the subject and will rejoice
the democracy of the State and thoroughly satisfy them
that the confidence they have bestowed upon Mr. Mott has
not been misplaced;

MERCHANTS HOTEL,

DEAR SIR Having been your intimate friends and hav-
ing witnessed your In politics for many years,
have never known occasion when our confidence in
your personal integrity and political orthodoxy has
vered moment You readily realize our surprise
and Indignation therefore, when we heard your name
associated with secret and proscrptve organization after
YOU had formally accepted nomination for canal commits
oner of Pennsylvania from the democratic party whose
advocate YOU have always been and whose principles you
have ever defended Your letter peemptOrily and posi-
lively denying all conne1on with this order published in
August last Tas regarded abundantly satisfactory at
the time it appeared but Notwithstanding this broad and
emphatic denial and 10 the face OF your offer at all times
to make any further statement that your friends might
oure we paned that many democrats continue
to regard you identified with this candestne and pro-
scpve order The fact that have been largely voted
for bv the members of this order is still evidently the real
cause of this suspicion. We know how sensitively you
feel any mpuation upon your personal and political
character-=-we know how unjust any such suspicion
is-we know how ardently you cherish the democratic
party-we know that you would scorn to belong to
any other political organization and above all how much
you opposed all secret combinations for political
poseswe know too that in your own county OF Pike you
were the bold active and public opponent Of know-noh
ngsm the result of the late election in that county will
showwe know that night and day before that election
YOU were engaged in conradicng the declaration that
YOU belonged this ORDER and in nying your friends in
opposition it, and in support of your colleagues the
democratic ticket--we know, finally, how proudly you
can repd ay and all assaults in the slightest degree
fecting your standing az n democrat and citizen While
cheerly pledge ourselseS To the democratic party Of
Pennsylvan that you to the democratic faith
as any man living and hostile to the order py know
nothings its conscientious and most uncompromi
aing opponent address you this letter to give you
opportunity your own name to answer these un-
founded assaults Of your foes and the mistaken suspicious
Of your friends.
Respectfully yours,

The members Of the bar in Henry county,
Indiana, have presented petition to the
Circuit Court asking the President Judge
-Anthony-to resign. Judge Anthony
received the petition, and each member
OF the bar in succession addressed the

that in case he would not resign, the pc.
titloners had agreed among themselves
that they would not do any business in
the court so long as he presided. The Judge
win perfect nonchalance, told the law
yerS ne would proceed to business. In
the afternoon the jury also asked him to
resign, when the lawyers proposed to him,
that II ne would agree in writing never
to come to that county again for the DUR.
pose Of holding court, and would send
some one in his place, they would he
content to drop the matter, so far as tbev
were concerned. The Judge finally nro.
missed never to come to that county AGAIN
for the purpose Of holding court, until he
should be sent for. The cause Of the
feeling against him is not stated.

IF THAT WERE TRUE!


sTis LONG aeo-we have toiled and traded,
Have lost and fretted, have gained and erieved,
Since last the light Of that fond faith faded,
But. friends-in its day-what we believed
The poets dreams and the peasants sfoEirs,
oh, never viii time that trust renew.
Yet they were oid on the earth before US,
And lovely tales-had they bat been nue
Some spoke Of homes in the greenwood h,dden,
Where age was fearless and youth was nee,
When none al life's board seemed guests uhpiuueh,
But men had years like the forest tree;
(sOodly and fair and full OF summer,
As lives went by when the world was new,
Ere ever the angel step passed from her,
Oh dreaIers and bards, IL that were true
Some told us then of stainless standard,
OF hearts that only in death grew cold,
Whose march was ever in freedoms vanguard,
And not TO be stayed by steel or gold.
The world to their very graves was debtor,
me tears of her love fed there like dew
But there had been neither slave nor fetter
rms day IN her realms, had that been truei
Our hope grew strong as the giant slayer
They told that life was an honest game,
Where fortune favored the fairest player,
And only the false found loss and blame =
That men were honored fn gifts and graces,
And not for the prizes folly drew;
But there would be many change Of places
In howell and hall, if that were true,
Some said to our silent souls, what fear We,
And talked Of a love not based on clay,
OF faith that would neither wane nor weary,
W III all the dust of the pilgrims day.
They said that fortune and time were changers
On, we had never been trustees strangers
AnoHs our people, if that were truei
And yet since the fairy time hath persisted,
WIN all its freshness from hills and hearts,
Inc last OF It's lore so vainly cherished,
ls not for these days Of schools and marts.
Up, up. for the heavens still circle Der US,
There's wealth to win and there's work to do,
There's sky above, and a grave before us,
And, brothers, beyond them all is true
