For the Democrat.
Mr.. EDIroR:-The Democratic party Of
Starkc County never have been as sure of
success as they are at present. There is
nothing to cloud our political horizon, there
seems to be but one exclamation among
the people and that is the Union of the
States and Buchanan for the next Presi-
dent, every movement of the Fusion or
Republican party adds to our strength in
number. The people have their eyes open
and are on the lookout for their intrigues,
they see that said party are working for
the loaves and fishes, that they are not
striving for our good, but merely to gain
their point, that they may have the ascend
ency of power this they have proven to
TIE people by their late nomination for Re-
preventative to represent the counties of
Marshall and Starke. They nominated
DR.. Daggy, supposed quack in medicine
and politics, a man living at the extreme
western part of the county and district of
which they desire him to represent, a man
whose interest is not with the people of this
county or Marshall, Il man of one idea and
one object which object is one of specula
ton to himself, his cousin Adason Dagsy)
and friend Capt. Blake, all OF whom have
been trying for the last two years to reat-
tach the original portions of Starke, which
if accomplished will leave us with a portion
of territory above the constitutional limits
Then they wish to detach a portion of
Starke, Pulaski and Jasper counties and
form new County (to be called Daggy
County l suppose) and make their cher
ished town (Sanpierre) a county seat, this
is their sole object and what they have
boasted Of and what they have been trying
for, for the last two years, which object if
accomplished, will not only rob US of the
tax arising from one Railroad now in sue
cessful operation, and in few years from
the tax arising from II. Know under COM
pletion leading from Logansport to Chicago,
which runs through that portion of terri
tory which they wish to detach, these facts
were stated to the delegates of the fusion
Convention. b1t disregarded by them, they
cared nothing about our interests they
were working for effect. | suppose one
great inducement for nominating the Dir.
was his defamation of the speech his cous-
i'll wrote for him, and that Capt. Blake was
Interested enough in his election to bring
lot of voters from Greencastlc to vote for
him, and with the assistance of Putnam
County they could elect their man, thereby
secure a fusion representative i lie did
/ live in Grecncastle, for it the DR.. is elected
he will not be the Representative, but an
instrument to carry out the wishes of his
cousin IL friend Capt. Blake. These things
and movements the people see and know
and they are not willing to be so fettercd
by partyism as to vote for man that will
use his best influence tc rob them of the
best portion of their county, but they are
going in mass throughout the middle and
eastern part of the County for Colonel ELI
BRowN a man whose interest is with Mar
shall and Starke Counties, a man that has
been true whom they know to be a true
and faithful servant of the people, whose
only object is to represent the interest and
wish of the people and sustain the true
principles of our national Democracy.
