Spring Elections I'm this County.

Last week we promised to pay some atten-
tention this week to our neghbOr's falsehoods
about the recent elections in this county. And
as We have be,n somewhat mild and gentle to-
wards Richard latterly, he has been more given
to falsehoods and base assertions. This derelic-
ton of duty on our part our friends of all par
ties must excuse US for.
Now it is well known that there are Is town
ships in this county, and the black republicans
carried just tico where there were two tickets in
the field Those townships were Freeport and
Stock. The Democrats carried the following
townships where both parties had tickets; A
thens, Greene, Rumley, Moorefeld, and the
greater portion Of the ticket in German. We
believe there was no opposition to our ticket in
Archer. In Cadiz township we elected one man
and could have elected more had we been SO
disposed. In Short Creek men Of both parties
were elected, there being no party tickets nomi-
mated. The same thing can be said of Noting
ham, North, Monroe, Franklin and Washington.
Our neighbor takes particular pains to men
ton all the townships but Green, Rumley and
Archer. These three he is very careful not to
say anything about. Why does he do this?-
Because they rll elected the Democratic ticket.
Green township was carried by the black rcpub-
licans last Spring, this Spring it is Democratic
The black republicans carried Stock by the ba-
sest kind Of fraud-such as handing men tickets
and telling them that they were Democratic,
when they were the bagcst kind OF black repub-
lican. This is a. kind of work thot the Stock
black republicans haze no hesitancy in doing.
What change is there between the election
this Spring and the election in the Spring o
1855. Then Richard said that we had carried
but one township -Archer--now he admits that
we have carried Athens, and if he had named
all the townships he would have been compcll-
e to admit that we had also carried Archer,
Greene, AMI Rumley. And if he had told the
truth he would have said that we carried nearly
the entire ticket in German and Moorefed, and
would have carried them easily if our friend;
had turned out as they should have done. Does
this look like as if hundreds wero leaving the
good old Democratic party in this county? Ev-
cry sensible man will say no. Good Democrats
may have differences Of opinion about the Lo-
compton Constitution, but when they come to
the polls next fall, the opposition (of every col.
or and grade) will find them united, and they
viii not be defeated by roo ola majority as largc
as they were in 1854 We would advise ou
neighbor to lay no fattoring urction to hi
suest soul about the disafIcction among the DE
mocracy in this county. Democrats can sctt
theta own differences Of opinion without an.
assistance from the 'Jerry Sneaks" of the blacl
republican party The Democracy af Harrison
county have pasred through many severe con
aicts, but they have never been conquered
The same indomitable spirit that has actuate'
them in other days prompts them still. The.
know no such'word as 'giyc up" The oppost
ton Get it come under whatever name or shap
it may) will find the same Democracy to con
tend with that has been such terror to then
