AZ We understand that Mr.. Mack, in
his speech at the pole raising, in Sibley.
town, on Thursday evening. made refer
ence to our charge against the county for
the publication Of the last delinquent list.
If that matter is to be an issue in the
coming campaign in this county, we now
tell Mr.. Mack. and any other fresh dsma-
gogue, that we will meet him or them any
where. and at all times, and explain to the
people this charge. aud prove to them th at
it was reasonable in every particular and
much less than charged by any other pa.
per in the State for the same amount oil
work We piH shOp that the editor Of The
Journal charged the city Of Tere Haute. for
the same kind of odpertising, MORE THAN
TWICE AS MUCH As WE CHARGED THE COUNT Y
OF VIGol
Does Mr.. Mack desire to go before the
people Of this county on this question: Il
perhaps for his own consistency
understand perfectly what he is talking
about, before he again ventures on thi'
subject.
This is a personal matter between our
self and the county and we court and de
fly an investigation.
We have not charged the county on
cent too much for any work We ever did 70
it, aud no man or set of men shall z,
among this people and misrepresent us il
this or any other particular.
We will give this matter further atten
tion whenever circumstances require IL.

The GAMg.-The Democracy no longer
pretend to discuss principles before the
people or through their paper. They know
that to enlighten the people is to convert
them to Repubicanism
The northern wing Of the party has
adopted platform, susceptible Of two
fold construction, one to suit the north the
other TO suit the south. The platform it
self is an out and out pro slavery slavery
extension--slave code affair declaring the
right of Slave holders 10 carry their slaves
into the Territories. This they openly
avow, when pined down to the point
But in all their stump speeches, they
sedulously avoid the least allusion to their
platform. but spout and froih Popular
Sovereignty" "The rights of the people
to govern themselves" THE gur.reat

to "abolition" negro equality" and the
whole vocabulary of Democratic black
guardism.
Why don't they publish Johnson's 3
