BLOOMFIELD, Sept. IL, 1860.
Mr.. EDIroR To-day listened to the
discussion between our candidates for Con
gress-Col Nelson and Mr.. ocrhees-aud
| have never heard a more profound aud
eloquent exposition Of the principles Of the c
Republican party, than that by our dis
tinguished Congressional standard bearer
The Col has met with Mr. Voorhees, in
three places in this county, and at each
place Voorhees, refused to answer questio ~
that. 10 man demanding the suffrag, {
the people, could do with any hopes
success. His silence however will be the
gateway to his political tomb, for as Ger.
tain as the sun shall upon election day gild
the western horizon, Col. Thos. II. Nelson
will be the Congressional representative Of
the Seventh District.
Greene county will give the Col. small
majority. IL has always been Democratic,
but now the "sccptre hath departed" from
them. and after the October election they
will cease to be in the ascendency, and
will descend from the position they have
occupied so long. ba
Voorhees, will not speak Of the great is
sues which are leg;timately before the peo.
pie, but breaches a bitter crusade against |
the Republican party, denouncing them as
Abolitionists Hon. Dams vocabulary con-
si,ts of three words-Abolitionist, Negro |
lovers and Negro equality. He seems to
think the people of Greene county are ig-
norant and consequently are Democrats,
but when the great dsy shall come (of
DaR's wrath ) aud the solemn voice of the
people Of Greene county will have been
heard, Col. Nelson will be entitled to a seat
beside BLAIR, Colfax and host of brilliant
men, in honoring whom the people rejoice.
1t is my deliberate opinion that Daniel is
fully convinced that he is IN the lions den
with no guardian angel. There is certain
speech made by this cunning District At
torney about two years since. wherein the
conduct If the "old pablic fnnctiouary" is
culogized very highly, and Lecomptonism
is advocated. Dan says that he was wrong
then as were hosts of other great men, and |
that he should not be held responsible for
what he said, because Lecompton--is |
dead. Oh. what pitiful Iretext! t
The election is now near at hand, and $
we hail in its coming, the ushering in of |
new order of things, which will fix the po- i
ltical de.tiny Of our party forever. Our t
n National, State. Congressional and County
,ffices will be filled by Republicans; and
believe hat if God in his mighty omnip- t
,tencs woud give those Offices the power :
If speech, they would say to their Locofo.
20 plunderers depart ye cursed, never to 8
De known again"
Let the Republicans Of other counties
ally and do as good sght as we of
}rcene will do, and two thousand Repub-
ican majority will tell Of the mighty rev. a
luton in politics now ready to burst in p
Ipon the Hoosier State. The bright sun c
hine of Republicanism will soon glad the
Iearts of the American people, and they D
will turn to the year of 1860 and rejoice !,
hat it gave birth to their first National n
riumph. We of Greene county will auth n
rize Thomas to say to Daniel, in the Ian. ii
uage of our Savior. go thy way and sin n
