The Black Democracy, having dcsig-

The namc Of Benjamin II. Spooner,
Esq. of Dearborn. county, has been ia.
vorably mentioned. Mr.. Spooncr is
well known in the district-has always
been consistent ardent opponent Of
Black Democracy, and will make gal
LIANT fight and a good run If nominated.
The prospects for sir. Spooncr, have

Hon. Will Cumback. Of Grcensburg,

single handed, and to DO elected was but

aroused and dete. mined to rcbuko COR

Rush county, where he has repeatedly.
received the peoples endorsement, by
election to the highest offices in their
gin. As Clerk, Judge, and member OF
the Legislature he has always proved
worthy by the JetFersonian rule. There
is probably no man in the district with
more claims and merits than Judge
Hackelman, and if u nomination was
certain election, none wonld DO more
likely TO receive it.
The campaign will be warmly contes-
tod. and it bohooves the friends OF oil
