The following is a private letter from
young Democrat, but one who has imbibed
his political principles, with his first notions
of right and wrong, from honored Demo
cratic parents. The Niblack organ is troubled
that we have so many old Democratic cor
respondents. The times produce them
! Not single letter has been inserted in the
Journal, but we knew the source was what
! it purpOrted to be. The zeal and enthusi-
asm manifested by many of the old file lead
ers of Democracy in the anti-Lecompton
cause and in the success of Judge Hovey
has, like the following, surprised us and
given US undoubting confidence in the over
whelming defeat of Niblack. The annex
ed was not designed for publication, but to
give us private, re fble information and It's
statements are made in q sincere belief of
their truth, and are not therefore exaggcra-
ted to produce an effect:
| BooNvILLE, Goth Aug, 1858.
| F.. Y. CARLILE, EsQ.-SI:-Although an
entire stranger to you, and formerly differing
with you in political sentiments, yet being
engaged, at present. il common cause,
take the liberty to write you an account of
Judges Hovey and Niblack's speeches here
yesterday. Between four and FIVE hundred
turned out to hear them, large number of
whom were undecided how to vote. Judge
Niblack opened with what might be called
a speech, but which really was a very lame
and unsatisfactory apology for his course
last winter, on the Kansas question.
His effort did not meet the expectations
of his friends; certainly not the necessities
of the occasion. He made no points-used
no arguments, but every remark he made
fell dead and powerless.
Judge Hovey's effort was mastery one.
No man ever made half as many votes here
in one speech, as Hovey did yesterday
Our county has been literally flooded with
Green's and Hunters reports, and other Ad-
ministration Kansas Democrats. The peo-
pie did not understand the issue or facts
|
before he concluded his first speech, convic-
tions of the outrage attempted in the ad-
!. mission of Kansas by the Administration
and its supporters, was written upon the
countenances of very many of the oldest
truest, and most intelligent Democrats pres
ent lie gave the crOss-road politicians, and
> dealers in conventions, a severe castigatior
which was justly appreciated by the audi
;. . ence.
Judge Niblack sometimes boasts from tn,
stump of his consistent Lecomptonism.-
: Judge Hovey asked him yesterday if h,
was willing to take the seal of secresy of
y of his letters to his frirnds in this District
i thai if he was he would publish them to tn,
n world, and prove by them that at ono tim,
. last winter, Judge Niblack himself wa
d anti-Lecompton. Judge Niblack harcd NJ
r and said it was unfair to publish private
4 correspondence, or even to allude to it,
His friends say it is unfair. Ipresume the!
think it all right for Niblack to have pri
=, vate opinion for himself and a few conf
IS dants, and another for the people. Judg
y IIovcy is making a gallant race. We hav
to overcome a majority of 800. / say
Y now and the final result will prove its truth
that if the other counties in the District d,
y as well as this, Judge Hovey will beat Nib
d lack, and his majority will foot up thous
5 auds instead of hundreds.
N There is, of course, class in this count
l. there is in all others, who will fall in wit
the majority, but from these we expect moth
10 ing. Our strength is in the solid and substantia
le Democrats. OF these we have large mum
s. bcr and they are daily increasing. W
le have nothing to fear from the politics
re whippers in.
Set it down that this county will do he
duty and surprise the natives in October.
