Mr. Worries will speak at the Court house on
Wednesday evening, September 18th. lie
knows what the Republican party processes to
be, and also what it is, and he is able and will
ling to give them their due.--Mllsrsblng (O.)
Farmer.
6rThe Mr., Worries mentioned above is the
son Of our respected fellow citizen, Jacob VOr-
hes, Esq, of North township, in this county.
Mr.. V. is a talented young gentleman, and we
are pleased to see him return to where he and
all other good citizens properly belongs-the
Democratic party.
We attended discussion in New Market in
this county, shortly after Mr.. Worries left the
Democracy, in which he participated. He was
trying to advocate and defend republicanism,
but it was evident to every person present, that
he was in the wrong place-that he was trying
to do something he did not feel com Portable in
doing, lie will now feel at home in advocat-
ing and defending Democratic principles.
| There are hundreds Of men who, like Mr..
Worries, left the Democratic party in 1854, be-
cause they thought the Democracy were in "a
vor Of the extension of slavery. Time has prov
ed to them that such is not the fact. No free
| territory has ever yet been converted INTO a
slave State under Democratic, or any other ad-
ministrations. These men left the Democracy
at that time for the reason we have stated a.
bove, but they have felt uncomfortable and out
Of their place ever since. And why should they
not? The party to which they attached them
selves, have always looked upon them with sus-
piciOn, and like hawks, watched every move
ment they made. The abolitionists and wings
who united together at that time, done so fol
no other purpose but to secure the spoils. They
care nothing about those Democrats who unit
ed with them only so far as they can secure
their votes. If they nominate gentlemen fol
Office who formerly belonged to us, it is only
for minor position, and after he is nominated,
they invariably scratch him, and let him run
behind his ticket. We have instances here in
Harrison county. No man who has been NOM
mated on their ticket in Harrison county, fol
office, who formerly belonged to the Democrat
c party, but what has always ran behind the
rest of his ticket And why is it? Simply be-
cause they care nothing about them, only so fat
as their votes are concerned.
We say again, that those Democrats, who
like Mr.. Worries, left us in 1854, are not in
their right place--they are where they do not
properly belong. They have not felt at home
with their new associates, and never will
And why? Because they were Democrats long
enough to have principles about them. Their
associates are men who care nothing about prin-
ciple--have no respect for it whatever--and
whose only object is to secure spols for the old
abolitionists and what wings they could induce
to unite with them. Let them, like the Prod
igal Son. return to their fathers house--the
good old Democratic party--and they will be
received with open arms, and treated with re-
spect In our ranks they will feel at home, as
they felt before they left us. There will be
no hawks, or negroes to watch their move
ments, and berate them when their backs are
turned, as there are now in the republican par
ity.
Thousands Of gentlemen like Mr.. Vorhes
are returning home, and are determined to be
fed on "husks" no longer. Let every Demo
crat WHO hath left US, come back. There is
plenty of room for them, and they will be re-
ceived and treated with the same kindness they
receied before they left US. The Democratic
party is the only party in this Unicn, that a
man can feel comfortable in. 1t is like heme
to him. There is no desert about it. In it
there are principles which are worth contend
ing for-outsde of the pale of the Democratic
party, such thing as principle is not known
Let every good citizen unite with us, and il
will do him good, for "good hath been spoker
concerning us.
We cannot close this article without insert
ing the following communication, which We
find in the Milersburgh Farmer, from gentle
man who left us in 1854, but who, like Mr.
Vorhes, hath returned to the good old Demo
cratic party. Let every Democrat who left III
in 1854, read it, and then do as this Democrat
c farmer hath done, return to where he be
