Brookville American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1858-1861, 1858-06-25
Conprassionnl Convention.

Since our last publication, we have
consulted with other OF our active,
promincn. and influential Republicans,
rs to the proposed change OF time from
August TO July, and meet with very
general expression averse TO the change.
These expressions and more mature re-
Fiction on our part, convince MS of its
impolicy. AS n general rule, the time
being ono fixed (and as We learn in
this case by full representation OF ex-
preston from oil parts Of the district
il is impolitic to change il, unless there
arise important and urgent cause un-
forseen and uncanvassed by those who
fixed Il. In this case we hear and know
of none, but propose to suggest few in
favor Of the iarthest time. First, the
l sth OF August was agreed upon as the
most convenient TO oil concerned par
tioularly, because The harrea would be
cut and secured, and u full representa-.
ton insured Of that most important
and reliable portion of our friends.
Second, tho people will thereby have
further time for reflection, free from
the excitement necessarily incident to
the present practice OF Congressional
canyassing. AS far from buster and
the influence of demagogues as possible,
is what the people ut this peculiar june
turc, most desire. In the councils OF
calm reflection our cause being unqucs'
y light, ie safe. We sometimes
ihdccK, have serious doubts of the ex'
pcdioncy and propricty Of candidates
for Congress taking TO the hustings.
Third, by delay we give greater OPP,
portunity tor the consumation and in
auguration of that grca. peoples party
which inevitably must soon organize
and sweep from power the hoard o
teaches who now fatten on the already
depleted treasury of the government
II is worse than folly to resist this con
sumation. We but defer IL, as il mus
inevitably come now, or soon hereafter
As we have hctofore declared, We car,
not under whatever party name we are
marshalcd TO battle tho corrupt cabal q
Washington, and their hired minions il
power. We devoutly wish, however, u
profit by the folly Of our too early stat
organization, and give ample time 70
the masses to Judge this extrayugant
RECKLESS, imbccile administration, mn
then unite in an organization to annihi
late il. TO more thoroughly sc
cure this, il is our matured judgment
best to keep the politicians at home an
send the documents abroad. The pee
pie are talking, thinking and will rea
and believe. The times are every wa
propitious for happy results. The pan
ny in power know and dread the fac
that they alone are responsible for I'll
disastrous consequences of the prcser
financial crisis, rs they alone have gu
ded the ship of state with, single il
corruption, for the last sixteen years.
With q treasury surplus of over 1000
900 dollars, but little moro than yel
past, they have already exhausted
with the annual revenues from Gu
toms aud public lands, together wit
2O,00O,OOO Of Treasury Notes and 2
100000 borrowed cash, will mako III
annual expcnccs Of this proiessedl
economical administration from 80 |
l00,000000 dollars
With these stubborn facts silently in
pressed upon tho people, we'll do IL
fagle.men Of tho Administration kno
and urge tho importance Of early, e.
cited organization. In the honest, 81
Der reflection of the people wo have Il
utmost confidence, and that this may 1
far as possible be secured, we must il
sist on defernR the canvass from II
stump" TO MS late day as practicabl
our voice must be regarded for tho 1884,
Of August as first agreed upon.
