WHAT A CANDIDATES!

Did you ever think of this fact, that
the only reason urged by the friends of
Douglas in his favor, is, that he once
had the smell of Republicanism upon his
garments? When he united with the
Republicans to oppose the Lecompton
iniquity he said he chad checked his
baggage clear through" and even Hor-
ace Greedy helped to rs-elect him to the
United States Senate, but Stephen, like
the dog, returned to his vomit" and
crawled "upon his belly" before his
Southern masters, and told them how
much free Territory his ger-reat pur-rin-
ciple had given to slavery, and now this
one good act of his is all that his friends
can urge in his behalf 1t is far better
to trust an honest man, one who is always
right than such trickster. Elect Lin
coin and VIC shall have fnnr wears at
least, OF peace, and cleaning out of the

TOWNSHIP eyrPEyIsORs.

We had intended to say nothing about
the election of these officers and should
not say anything now had not the Dem
ocratic County Central Committee urged
it upon tho Democrats to run a party
ticket in each township. Soon after the
passage of the Supervisor law we recon-
mended the citizens of the several town,
ships to elect their best men without re.
spect to party. We do not take that
back but are more than ever convinced
that the best men will invariably be found
in the Republican ranks. This is a new
system, and it is of great importance to
the tax payers that it should have fair
and friendly trial. The Democrat has
conc out in violent dcnunciation of the
law, and no Democrat has differed with
the "organ." All the leading Democrats
in this town that we have heard say any
thing about it, have said that they were
opposed to it. We can truthfully say
that the Democratic party Of this county
is opposed to the law, and if it is posi-.
bic for them to make political capital out
of it they will do so, without regard to
the interest Of the tax. payers, and then
if complaint is made, the Democrats will
say, at is all the fault of the law If
Democratic Supervisor should be elect
ed who felt friendly to the law, his devo-
ton to his party would compel him to
favor hif party rather than the tax payer.
1t is Of great importance that the Rcpub-
licans should have a majority Of the
Board Of Supervisors, for they alone can
be depended upon to give it a fair and
friendly trial. We would urge the Re.
publicans Of each Township to bring out
their best man and then use every hon.
orablc means to el,ct him

gan Central Railroad, on Thursday it was
decided to meet him at Michigan CITY.
and ten cars were chartered for the COCA.

the city telegraphed to prepare dinner
for five hundred persons. But, after
nara drumming, and the offer Of free
ride, only ninety five persons went out to
meet the object Of the ovation. TIE

The Committee had men all day pressing
men and boys into the service for the

None but voters voted.

pi~ S. A. Douglas says he don't care
whether Slavery is voted up or voted
down. The Cedar Democrat has the fol-
lowing at the head of its editorial col
umn:
Let Congress intervene to prevent
Slavery in the Territories Lincoln.
Let Congress intervene to protect
Slavery in the Territories "-Breckin-
ridge
Now if what Douglas says is true, the
Douglasites would, on principle, as soon
unite with Lincoln as with Breckenridge,
but We find that everywhere they are op-
posel to any union with the Republicans,
while in New York, Pennsylvania, and
even in Iowa, they have tried to unite
with the Breckinrldgers. They are vii.
ling to unite with party that will inter.
vene to protect Slavery, while they will
not unite with the only party that will in
teryene to prerens Slavery. Again
Douglas, by way of his first wife and his
children, has greater interest in slaves
than any other Presidential candidate
Who eau believe that Douglas DON
want Slavery voted up!

49, Several of our Dooglas friends
went to the City last Tuesday to see their
champion, and from all that we can see
and hear, thsy we're good deal dissap-
pointed. Douglas couldn't be heard,
and Gen. Dodge was put up to speak, to
the great disgust Of all hiss hearers, ex-
cept the Republicans, who must have
been delighted. 1t is question with
those who hear him, whether he has not
accepted Thurlow Weeds proposition
and gone in TO elect Lincoln.

Brutal Murder Of a Republican Wide

Brutal Murder Of a Republican Wide-
Awake.
We have been shown private letter
from reliable gentleman, dated Johns
town, Pa, Oct, 4th, in which he states
that on Friday, Col. A, G. Curtin made
a spirited address to the people Of that
region, and subsequently escorted by the
Wide Awakes to the lao train on the
Pennsylvania railroad.
o. the route one of the Wide Awakes
left the line, and was attacked in terri.
bly, brutal manner by party of half a
dozen Douglasites. After beating the
unfortunate man fearfully, one of them
struck him with a stone. His injuries
proved fatal on Sunday evening Six of
the assailants have been arrested aud are
now in Jail for the crime, at Ebansburg.
The occurrence has cast gloom over
the whole town.-Miladciashia Bull

DELEwARE, O., Oct. 1, 1860.

DELb NhnLj W. wv 4, AoOo'
FRIEND DANIELS Having been a
resident of your county for the last two
years, and having but lately returned to
the State Of my nativity to spend the
winter, and note progress l thought l
you'd venture to address you few lines
and let you know the result of my in
vestigation. As politics seems to be the
all absorbing question Of the times, 1
turned my attention to that subject, so
on the 25th of Sept, l repaired to Col.
umbus for the purpose Of hearing the
standard. bearer Of the northern wing of
the Democratic party discuss their great
principle Of" Popular Sovereignty."-
1t may be proper to state here that have
formerly been Democrat, and conse-
quently firm supporter of these same
great principles, and went down to get
confirmed, if possible, more strongly IN
the faith. To this end l procured o
convenient place near the stand, and was
soon listening to the sonorous voice Of
Mr.. s. A. D. His speech was toe
lengthy for me to treasure up in sacred
remembrance, but he boosted that he
could take his doctrine with him into
South Carolina, and boldly asserted thai
doctrine that could not be promulgated
everywhere was unsound. l looked al
this assertion in the light of reason, and
concluded that it was contradictory to
Bible, history, and common sense, and
when he came to his great principle, he
was in favor of " Popular Sovereignty -
if the Supreme Court was It's not my
province to question the sincerity of SO
distinguished man, but l may judge
whether those contradictory assertions
can be brought into harmony with each
other. After Mr.. d. stopped speaking,
Mr.. Johnsons corpulent form made its
appearance on the stand. His speech
was short but conclusive, and to the
point. He appealed to the men of the
North, to know if they would permit the
election Of Mr.. Breckenridge. One or
two drunken sots bavled out No."
whereupon he, the representative of
Southern public opinion and sentiment,
boldly proclaimed that the South uoula
not submit to the election Of abraham,
Lincoln. l am aware that people of the
North, Democrats especially, have been
wont to dispute the assertion sometimes
made by the Republican party, that the
South cherished disunion sentiment
but never can | conscienciously repel the
assertion, but am forced to let it remain
as foul blot, a stigma upon the
name of our once honored organization.
l came home thoroughly imbued with
Republican principles, and am happy to
inform my friends in Cedar, especially in
old Dayton, that o. +. will do all in his
power to promote the cause of liberty
and to drive from our land of promise,
the curse Of Slavery. Yours, truly.

p@- Even the Democratic ladies are
ashamed Of their stumping candidate,
and when spoken to on the subject, de-
clare that Douglas don't expect to be
elected this year. They are right, and
after the election the Douglasites will de
clare that he didn't want to be elected
There is no State sure for Douglas, and
his warlnest friends don't expect he viii
get more than Missouri and California
and even these States are doubtful.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

Tho Democrats hereabouts try to make
out that the Democratic party are in

totally failed to pass any kind of Home

The truth is the party is opposed to any
such law, and if it continues in power,
no such law will ever be passed.
But how is it with the Republic ms !?
In the present Congress they have not
majority, but plurality in the House,
aud one Of their first acts, in the House,
was to pass liberal Homestead bill 1t

there killed So much for the two par
ties on that bill. The Republicans fay.
ored it and the Democrats opposed it.
The Senate got up humbug Home

publicans tried to substitute the House
bill for it, Every Republican Senator,
Hannibal Hamlin included. voted for the
House bill, but the Democratic Senate
refused to adopt the House bill, and pass.
