Mr. collar on the stums.

We have copvorsed with friend who
heard Mr.. Colfax speak last week at Mon
terey and at Wimen,ac He informs Us
that Mr.. c. made powerful speeches a
both places. The Republicans were all de-
lighted with his efforts, and many Of the
Democrats who heard him, secmeT to be
convicci that the Democratic party had
nothing but its name left of which they
could boast. 90 ~ us
At both places the people turned out in
large numbers tehear him. There were a.
bout $50 at MoEtery, and 500 to 500 at
Winncmac. At the latter place. Mr.
Yeatch, the Democratic Clerk of the SUI
preme Court, met Mr.. Colfax, and made a
proposition to divide the time with him,
which MIR. c., of course declined to do IN
der the circumstances. Vcatch then made
an appointment to speak at the school
house, about 20 rods distant from the Court
House, at the same hour He commenced
his speech with City hearers and closed
with thirty three Does net all this look
encouraging for Walker.
Col. Walker spoke at Winnemac one
week previous to Mr.. Colfax, and although
Circuit Court, which was being held there
at the time, adjourned to let him have the
Court House, he had only 53 hearers. Is
not this encouraging. Verify the Col IS
chances of paying his passage out of his
own pocket. when.he goes to Washington,
are increasing rapidly.

Gipe.s Escape.


The Democrat is peculiarly unfortunate
in hearing rumors about its candidates
which no one else ever heard of. 1t is
equally unfortunate in its sources of infor-
nation in regard to our course. 1t is con-
tinually getting on the wrong scent, and
making statements utterly untrue, some
of which its own friends sometimes force
il to. retract Week before last it attempt
ed to combat false report to the effect
that the sheriff, Mr.. Van Yalkcnburg, was
paid to let young Gipe escape, and that
the Republicans were circulating it. 1t
may be that such report was circulated
to a limited extent; we cannot, of course,
say positively that it was not, but this we
do say, that we never heard whisper of
it. We never believed that the Sheriff
either connived at Gipe's escape. or was
paid to. let him. out, and consequently have
never hesitsted to SO express ourself in
conversation with our friends. The most
that can be said about it is, that Mr.. Van
Valkenburg had little too much conf
dence in Gipe, and that he gave him too
great an opportunity to escape,--that he
displayed culpable carelessness in letting
Gipc out of the cell at all, when he knew his
wife had to go in the hall after vegetables
and leave the door unfastened behind her.
He should have known that Gipe would
be looking ont for an opportunity to es-
cape, and the fact that he did escape shows
want of due precaution somewhere, for
which, of course, the peoplc,-they are yet
free we believe, will holl him accomta-
Lle. An executive officer is just as culra-
Die for not exercising due prccaution as
though he were to conniye at the escape Of
a criminal.
BY the escape of Gipe the county looses
at least 800, as his friends had determin-
ell to pay his fine and costs, and liberate
him as soon as his term of Imprisonment
expired, which would have been in five or
six weeks.
We might say much more in reference to
this matter, but are disposed to pass it over
as lightly as possible. and shall not recur
to it again if the Democrat does not.

From the Gown Point Register.

Tell Mr. May when he undertakes to
prove any thing on On Collax to bring a
,chole aecspaper Now it is notorious
that the paper from which he read had
two holes in it-parts have been cut out
Now, what he read had reference to what
took place at meeting which Colfax had
left in disgust. He proposed that they
should grive privileges to persons of for
eign birth equal to those OF native born. pro-
vidcd they gave to this country their full
and undivided allegiance. This is what
he contcns!ed for. and they refused the
proposition. He publicly repudiatcd all
CO operation with them, and declared his
opposition to them. Is this Knownoth-
ingism, contending for the equal rights OF
all. regardless of the place Of their birth!
When the meeting would not listen to his
liberal proposal. he took his hat and went
home. After he left, they then went on
and passed the resolutions which Mr.. May
read.
When they have to resort to such frauds,
they must indeed be had ran for argument
MIR. Colfax has been in Congress foul
years. and neither May nor Walker car
point to one vote given, or one act done
which the people Of this district do not ap
prove. The parts cut out explained con

Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the loss
Of nearly all his stock of goods, having
on his books large amount Of accounts,
besides notes. he supposed t.iat by collect
ing all that was due him he would be en-
abled to pay off his Indebtedness and con-
tinue business. But about this time the
pressure commenced. and many claims
that were regarded good turned out TO be
worthless, and even good men could not
get money to pay him. Produce went
down to half former prices, and no money
IN the county to buy it with at that. Mr..
o. thus finding himself encompassed with
nexirlcable and unexpected difficulties,
made an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors, giving up almost every thing Inc
possessed on earth, not even reserving as
much as the law allowed hiaa. In making
the assignment he did not think about the
taxes; but it was unnecessary, the law pro-
vides that the taxes shall be first paid
When. the tax Collector spoke to Mr.. 0.
about the matter some time ago, he told
him, of course, the taxes should be paid,
and referred him to the assignee, who had
all his assets in his hands, as the proper
person to speak to, which lie supposed he
had done aud that the taxes had been paid.
1t was evidently the duty Of the assignee to
attend 20 the payment of tie taxes, and
Mr.. o. is certainly not responsible for his
neglect.
The attempt to make political capital
out this affair is to say the least contempt
ible. Had not Mr. o. been impoverished
by the devastating element, it would have
been another matter But with their arms
up to the pits in the public treasury, and
sxtorting double charges from the unfor-
tunate and INDECENT, who fall in their pow
er, they have no bowels of compassion for
those who happen by misfortune, sickness
or otherwise, to become unable to pay their
. taxes. Mr.. Oylesbce has proved himself
TO be an honest man. Although he has
failed in business he has failed honorably,
and no right thinking man respects him
less on that account. Not stain rests up
on his fair name
We have not seen Mr.. Morris, and can
not, therefore, make any explanation so
far as he is concerned. 1t is probable,
however, that his taxes, like Mr. Barnard's,
are paid. But, if they are not, he is in no
worse fix than one of their candidates
whose name we will not mention now, as
he may have good and sufficient reasons
for withholding payment. We know he
is amply able and generally pays his debts
promptly. We shall enquire further into
the matter before giving the name. and
should not have referred to it at all had
not the Democrat introduced the sub
iect. If their friends get their corns
tramped on they must not blame US. We
did not commence il. What is sauce fol
the goose must he sauce for the gander.

The last Demo-rat charges that four Of
the Republican candidates in this county

and are consequently delinquent. The fol

published in that paper: Austin Fuller, n.

In regard TO VI. Barnard the charge is
utterly false He has paid his taxes. The
following arc the facts in regard to Messrs.

not been able to relieve himself, and final
lyhad to give up his property to the Sher-
if to pay his liabilities. 1t is upon prop
erty given up to the Sheriff before the first
of January last. wrongly assessed in his
name, that most of the taxes charged a.
gainst him are due. He applied to the
County Board to straightel the matter, but
they refused to do it. He did rot think it

HMr. Commissioner Hendricks spol

kE Mr.. Commissioner Hendricks spoke
in this place on Tuesday last to rather
rneagre crowd. An organ grinder down
town pleased some Of the democrats so we'll
that they did mt go to hear the Commits
sioner. We were not present, but learn
that the largest number present at any one
time was SO, twenty-five OF whom were
Republicans. Not more than dozen came
in from the country to hear him. He eulo-
gized Buchanan and lauled Lccompton.
but said not word about Douglas. Ills
solicitude for Mr.. Walkers success shows
that Mr. w. is Thoroughly Buchanan and
Lccomptonized. and will not, probably, in.
woke the aid of those ten hundred Thousand
daggers. The attempt of Commissioner
Hendricks to prove that the Republican.
voted for slavery in Kansas by supporting
the Crittenden Montgomery bill, was silly
and contemptible He must have tbough
his hearers were blockhesds. Everybody
knows the provisions Of the Montgomery
bill, and the motives the Republicans hat
in supporting it, But it showsclearly tina
the Buchananites are hard pressed for ar
guments with which to meet the Republi
cans, when they resort to such as this.

The Prospects.

We hear the most cheering accounts
from all the Counties Of the District. anil
it may be set down as certain that Mr..
Colfax will receive a much heavier ma
iority than he did in 1866. in nearly
every School District we hear Of Demo
Gratis who voted against him in 1856 who
will vote for him now. and men who voted
for him then who will vote against him
now are very few and very Far between
His majority can only be cut down by
heavy importations: he car. only he defeat
ell by the most outrageous frauds. The
misrepresentation and ISLANDERS against
him SO busily circulated, are too gross
and palpable to deceive. and they are react
ing with powerful effect npon their origi-
majors. To the people of st. Joseph
County, among whom Mr.. {. has been
raised from boyhood. more especially be-
longs the duty of indicating his fair namo
and rebuking his caluminiators. Let this
be done a. the polls on the 18th day Of
October next. by giving him larger ma
iority in this County than he ever receiv-
ell before. II can be done. Bat to do it
labor and vigilance. an,. full vote. are
necessary-SouM Bend Reg.
