Editors Sentinel One of the Editors of
the a. Bamne," made Fillmore speech at the
court house in our town, last evening, and
during the course of his remarks, he gave the
substance of conversation he had with j.
d. DEGREES, some time since, as follows
He asked DEGREES how he, as a member
of the Order TX. NJ could support FREMONT
DEFnEEs answered 81 am a Native Ameri-
can in principle, and belong to the Order, and
if you knew as much about Mr.. FREMoNT's
politics as myself-you as an American could
vote for him too-but you see, it wont do to
make this thing public, for we want to get the
German VOTE
From the manner in which the speaker re-
lated it, have no doubt of the truth of the
statement. Ought not such base hypocrite
as this DEGREES be passed around, and held
up to the scorn and contempt of all honorable
men? Yours,

OJThe Journal, of yesterday, makes a
very grave and mournful appeal to the "Old
Line Democracy" of Indiana, to come over
and help lift its party and its candidate for
the Presidency out Of the Slough of Des'
pond.
The Journal tries to DO very pungent and
pathetic over the wrongs inflicted upon the
country by the Democratic politicians, in re-
ference to slavery; but, as in all the other
great efforts of the editor of that sheet, there
is such a wide departure from the line Of
truth and fairness that the whole effect of
his laborious production is totally spoiled
When our neighbor talks to sold Liners" he
must use solid arguments and facts. They
eschew the current Abolition rant and nom
sense of the day, as fit only for moon-struck
philosophers and sentimental spinsters of the
GARRISON and GREELEY school.
We dislike every thing smacking of ego.
tism, but we DO think we could get up a
much stronger appeal to the more moderate
and sensible Of the Black Republicans than
the ONE which the Journal doles out to the
odd Line Democracy"

6TThe Fremonters pretend to say that
they are to receive large German vote in
Marion county, from those Germans who are
friends Of Freedom, Free Negroes and Ere
mont The Democrats of Cincinnati say
that the Germans Of that city who, some
time ago, under the teachings of HAsAUEEK
and REEMELIN intended tOvOte for FREMONT,
are now coming back to the Democratic par
ty in large numbers. Fremont is "a dead
cock in the pit" He is defeated in advance
BY the recent elections in Indiana and Penn
sylvania, AMI therefore it would be strange,
ifsensible Germans would throw away their
votes upon him, and leave, at this crisis, their
victorious Democratic friends, to join de-
feated and badly beaten party. Let the
Germans remember that the Democratic par
ty Is as much opposed to the extension OF
slavery as are the Fremonters. The Demo-
cratic party would be glad TO see Kansas ad-
mitted as free State, or as the people OF that
Territory shall see fit to determine for them
serves; out they do not desire to see the Ao-
clifton party break up the government, and
set free four millions of blacks who are now
slaves in the South, with view to introduce
them into Indiana, and other free State, as
laborers, in competition with the white la
borer in those States Germans should look
carefully into the matters, before they cast
their votes to please men who have hitherto
been their most inyeterste political enemies.
HAsAUREK is hired and unprincipled advo-
cate of Abolition doctrines lie is paid to
mislead and deceive his countrYmen, but
we have good reason to believe that both he,
and his employers, will find themselves quite
mistaken as to the numbers of Germans whom
they can coax TO throw away their votes by
voting the Fremont State ticket

The FTemOnters Ungrateful TO the
Fillmore men for their support
Manson Oct 81 1876


OF all the excuses the Republicans have in
vented to account for their defeat the charge
that the Fillmore men went over to the DEM
ocrats in body caps the climax of absurdi-
ty. Only few of them voted for WILLARD
in Jefferson county. A portion of them vo-
ted for HUGHES, but not a majority of them.
The entire Fillmore vote was probably given
to Judge WALKER and Mr.. PAYNE, and others
who were elected, but for every other office,
the Republican ticket received majority in
the county. The Journal asserts, that in all
the strong Fillmore counties the Democrats
received large majorities, and names Switzer-
land county among the number. In this, he
speaks without facts and figures. The vote
of Switzerland county will settle the matter:
Governor-Willard, Dem, ........11 1913
Morton, Rep, ............l l2f
Now, let us refer to the vote where the
Fillmore and Democratic parties come in d.
rect competition
REPRESENTATIVES,.
WIlSUt, rlll... 1lJl OOWueN, DelIl. Ito
Hayden, Fill. 1190 Merit, DEM. 112o
Compare the vote and it will be seen that
Morton falls short of WRIGHT's vote just GA.
WILLARD goes ahead of DowNEY only ten
votes. Then the result shows that, out OF
the 1000 Fillmore voters of Switzerland
county, Mr.. Morton failed to receive just Ga
of them-ten of whom voted for Willard;
while 81 did not vote at all for Governor
The Fillmore men in Switzerland county
claim that they have a thousand voters, and,
as they have the means of ascertaining their
strength, have no reason to doubt it. Then
suppose they had all voted with the Demo.
Gratis, the result would have been as follows
Buchanan and Fillmore vote. $3.50. 2,125
Fremont vote. 191
Though large majority of the Fillmore
men did fuse on Morton, it is hardly possible
that half the number will fuse on Fremont
The vote of other counties might be analy-
zed, which would show similar results, bu
the Fillmore party il this county being
fair type of that party in the State, it is un
necessary. HOOSIER.

be adopted. Under such circumstances, the

reporter could not avoid rejecting the press,
for he IS very particular in telling how the total
