Moving briskly," and all under the lead
of Rev. WM ANDERSON negro as black
as the ace of spades, who is canvassing Elk
hart county, under pay of the Fusionists, at
81 so day and expenses. ANDERSON is a
regular 2-40 nag, on whom the Fusionists are
ready to stake their whole purse. Whether
their winnings will cover expenses, wear

tattered fragments of character that will be
left to the hackers after the race is over, is a
very complicated question that is now en-
gaging the attention of some of tie best
fnanciering talent of the Black Republican
party.

EARLY CONTRACTS FOR HOGs.-During the
last two weeks. we have heard of several
contract for hogs for November delivery,
and there is no doubt that good deal is
doing in this way, but the particulars have
been kept as private az possible. The high
est rate paid that We heard Of, was S. 75,
but it was rumored that as high as SO had
been paid for lot to be delivered by the
10th of November, and to average 2lO
pounds. The desire to enter into those
contracts on the part of provision dealers is
not general By any means; and with the ex-
perience of last season before ttem, it is not
likely it will become so at any time between
this and the opening of the packing season,
except at much lower rates.-Cn. Price

ABUSE or WADE, the Black
Republican Senator from Ohio, recently, in
a colloquy with Mr. TooMRs, of Georgia de-
elared that Tnos JEFFERSON, the great DEM
oeratic statesman, "ioas slperdnaaafed'' when
he wrote his celebrated letters to JOHN
HOLMES and WILLIAM SHORT, in 1920, con-
demnine the establishment of the Missouri
restriction, and predicting that evil conse-
quences would result from it, which predic-
tous have been too truly verified. This
slanderous abuse of JEFFERsoN is charleteris-
tic of the Black Republicans, who hate both
the man and bis principles, hut the American
people venerate the one and cherish the 9th
er. 1t is enough to arouse the indignation oi
every patriot to hear the tenn "supercnnua-
ted" applied TO Thomas Jefferson, who, to
the day Of his death, maintained his fine inc
telsct unimpaired.

shows an utter contempt for truth and honor
able conduct in its TRADE Of abnse upon Col.
r. w. THolrPsoN, and other gentlemen, for
their support Of FILLMORE. 1t imputes to
them base and sordid motives, and charges
them with an attempt 10 aid the Democratic

of their own reputation, and it is no part of
our desire or of our duty TO say word in their
defence. but we know them TO be high minded,
honorable men, Immensely beyond aud above
the reach and the venom of such 81 anders as
the G1zefte has published concerning them.
AS TO the desire of the Gazette to implicate
the .Sentisel in any FILLMORE conspiracy,
either in a public or private manner, or ia
any degree, it Is totally untrue, and is the
coinage Of eCrrupt and mendacious Aboli.

or That awful mares nesI," of BEN
NETT of the Herald, in which he has discov-
cred a "yllainous conspiracy" to defeat
BUCHANAN, and place BREokINRIDeE in the
Presidential chair, is thus happily hit off by
the Washington Star:
Bennets Herald is suffering almost the tor
merits of the d-d, on account of the shabby
manner IL which (it says) the friends Of Pierce,
Douglas, and Csss are treating James Buchanan
plotting according TO this devoted advocate
Of the election of the Democratic nominee, to
secure the election of John G. Breckinridge by
the Senate t0 the Presidency. The truth -.
that gimlet-eye of Bennet's sees about twice as
far through millstone as an ordinary eye
which accounts for his discovery of ii is tern
BILE plot against the election of the candidate
about whose triumph he has suddenly become
so very solieitoue. II happens, unfortunately
for the the theory of this last quizzical mare's
nest of his, that the friends of Pierce, Douglas,
and Cass do not Intend to let the Presidential
election question outer either House Of Con-
gress. 1.-The (Bennet) could for an hour peer
with his gimlet-eye into the correspondence re-
ceived at this point by the friends of the three
distinguished gentlemen named above, his ear
nest solctude lest Buchanan should be cheated
by his own household would vanish for he
could not fail to discover that the Democrats
Presidential nominee stands no chance what
ever to be in the situation in which. according
to Bennett, he IS to be cheeted. That IS, he can
never be candidate before the House-inas-

GTIt appears to be the special privilege of
the corps Of writers for the Journal to nurse
a wise beard"
few days since, one of these dignifed
reoeptacles of all wisdom, laughed most im-
moderately at Gov. WILLARD for being igno-
rant Of the fact that the "half witted boy"
who had climbed up the Natural Bridge, in
Virginia, and there cut his name in the rock,
high above all Others names then inscribed,
was none other than GEORGE WASHINGTON,
the Father Of his Country.
Yesterday, another more learned than this
sapient critic, very grayely informs 'the
world and the rest of mankind - that the
hero Of that ambitious and daring feat was
not exactly GEORGE WAsHIEaToS, but Col.
JAMES II. PIPER. a prominent lawyerof

It is said that ''none but great minds com
NIT great mistakes," and this reflection must
be truly soothing to the wounded pride of the
gentleman whose plumage has been so ruth
lessly plueked by the champion of "Col.
JAMES II. PIPER"
Since these wonderful displays Of historical
acumen, on the part of the Journal writers. it
is becoming subject Of fear with the public,
that when they die all wisdom will perish. .

Mn. EDIT0R:-The FILLMORE Club gave
notice in Tuesday mornings papers that they
would meet that evening at the Court House.
With the same anuouncement,a a similar meet
ing was called through the Journal. for the
Young Mems Republican Club. Now sir,
the FILLMORE Club had had two meetings
before, on Tuesday evening s,withOut incam-
brance Then why was it that the Republi-
can Club had their meeting on last Tuesday
evening? To say The least, il was very
dirty, scaiy trick; and if they wish to exer-
else the crushing out' policy we will show
them trick worth two of theirs.
We maintain the same grit that
our Convention did on the 9th, and expect TO,
throughout the campaign.
We nunderBtand that Tuesday eHaniI q
was -their constitutional night for meeting.
II so, why did they Not meet on the two
previous Tuesday evenings. The reason
why the Fillmore Club adopted Tuesday
evening was, that one ofthe Black Republi-
can Club members informed MS that Monday
evening was their regular evening for meet
ing, and so it was. 1t would be very easy
matter to change their constitutional" night
of meeting. If they wish Tuesday evening,
the Fillmore Club will adopt Monday even
ing; it is immaterial with them so far as time
is concerned 1t Is the principle we abhor,
which is no moro than Characteristic Of the
Abolition, Black Republican party. 1t was
a trick Of theirs. in order to Juse with the
Fillmore men, ,as Bill Sheets suggested. They
are barking up the wrong stump.

the Philadelphia Convention by begging this
sectional Convention to "take for their mot
to''-
'Freemen of the NORTH have a RIGHT to GOV
ERN THIS COUNTRY, for they are the party Of the

This is the grand summing-up of the whole
case The North is to govern, not only
Kansas aud the Territories, but the entire
country! Rally the North is the watch
word of the Black Republicans. Down with
the shareholders is the spirit Of all their
harangues Let this issue be fairly joined
between the North and South, and the
Union, for all good purposes, has reached its
end. Let good citizens and wise patriots,
