or eleven years ago, its fate would certainly
have been similar to that of the Native Amer
lean party. The masses of both of the old
parties, anticipating its spesdy failure and
shrinking from the odium of being known as
It's members, would have stood aloof from it,
even though many Of them had at heart ap-
proved its principles, and it would have died
out after brief and sickly existence. The
projectors of the new party, with good
knowledge Of political human nature, clearly
saw this, and they shrewdly chose that their
party should wear coat of air, at least until
it should gather strength enough to be able
to stand forth and blow a blast Of defiance to
all its enemies--and as much longer as nigh,

laid hold of violently by J. Combs, forced
out of the room, and by him stabbed in the

pistol, with which he shot his adversary, the
ball entering his left breast. When the
messenger who brought this left they were
both still living. Little hope for the recov-
ery of either is entertained.

Below we publish letter from Mr.. w.

discovery may be fairly tried, and that it
will be found to be what Mr.. Fugate repre-

left two rows unmowed for the bugs. as ex-
pertinent Those two rows produced a few
small potatoes, which were full of rot, while
the others were perfectly sound. The same
bugs tell to eating my tomatoes and beets.
The beets stopped growing, aud were of n o
use, and the tomatoes had similar rot to
that of the potatoes. This has led me to be-
lieve that these bugs deposit a poison of a
blightiog nature in every vegetable they
bite.

More Demagegueism.


This may inform the public Of one OF the
most outrageous affairs that ever occurred
in Johnson township. Gibson CO., Ind,
The people repaired to their respective
places of voting, on the frst Monday in
April, in all good faith there deposited their
ballots for the candidates of their choice for
officers; and az soon as the board
of election at Curry's store, got through
counting votes, they sent one of their judges
with the polls of said precinc,.to the old pre-
cinct, for the purpose of having them COM
pared az usual, but on his arrival was told
that Curry's store was not lawful precinct,
and their votes would not be received, and
that they had issued certificates of election
to the candidates having the highest num-
Der OF votes in their precinct. But if the
vote from Curry's store was COUNTED every
one of them was beaten; and during the
evening some one of the company said they
were beaten by the d-n K. Ms about Cur
rvs store. So the judge contested the cleo.
ton, and it was brought before the Board of
County Commissioners for their decision. on
the 2lst of April, and said board decided
against the contestor. thereby rendering
Curry's store an illegal place of holding cleo
lions. Now here is the order of said Board
in June, 1854, on record in the Auditors Of
fee in Princeton:
Ordered that Curry's store be. and is here
by designated as an additional place of hold
elections in Johnson township, and that
James Wilson be appointed Inspector to
serve one year, and that the Auditor issue
accordingly, which duty he performed by
sending the poll books, and tally papers to
Curry's store ,there tein one treasurer. one
clerk and two trustees to elect, for sal id town.
ship, and by the decision of the County
Board the contestees are the lawful officers.
So the two who hold the Office of Trustees
received at Curry's store, out Of g. votes
cast, one Of them two rotes and the other
nine votes. and the last one named lives in
sight of Curry's store! Thus it is plainly
seen by the aid of old.fogyism, that little
over one-fourth Of the vote cast on the first
Monday in April, 1855, rules Johnson town.
ship.
When we look around over the section oil
country, Of which Curry's store is the centre
and the many early pioneers Of the county
therein, and many of them tottering on their
stats, and their heads silvered DER with age
then have their suffrages treated in any
such manner, we come to the conclusion
that we may bid farewell 10 all Democratic
principles, and let Demagogues rule.
