never was a Republican.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in abiding to an
article, from a New Jersey paper, relative to
LEW. CAMrBErIq says
"Our Jersey contemporary is slightly mis-
taken about Mr.. Campbell. He is not a can
didate for the Congressional nomination in
his district, ut least from the Republicans. Al
though once or twice supported by them for
Congressman, he has neUer belonged 10 their
purity, and in the present canvass, they will
have his grateful opposition"
The Gazette's statement that LEWIS d.
CAMPBELL "has never belonged to their Gre
publican) party will be news to the Republ-
cans in the Third District. If he has not been
a Republican, pray what is necessary to
make him a Republican. Ever since their
party has been organized, he has been their
nominee for Congress, He has been favored
with their votes He was supported by their
press. He was their nominee for Speaker ofthe
House of Representatives in the 3ith Con
gress. He supported Fremont. He advoca
ted the election Of Republican State officers,
and even as late as yesterday morning, the
Journal, a Republican paper in this city said
it had reason to expect that Mr.. CAMPBELL
would have ADHERED to the Republican
organization" No, gentlemen, that dodge
won't answer. If Mr.. c. had continued to
support your party, his Republicanism would
not have been questioned. He would have
been n fine fellow, and as heretofore, would
have been placed upon the stump to teach the
people "Republicanism )" but as matters now
stand,-because he has taken grounds against
Mr.. LINCoLN-he is of no account, and never

H~ILLsBoRoUGH, July lG.
Dear Empire-Politics run high here,
The Democrats are daily growing more en-
thusiastic and confident of success. The So
Der second thought is having its effect, and
the little differences that existed in the party
are to be buried We are indebted to the Re
publican editors in this State for bringing
about such a result Their unlimited praise
of Breckenridge and Lane, opened the eyes of
all the Democrats 10 the fact that what the
Republicans most desired was to have a large
vote thrown for Breckinridge-two votes
thrown for him being equivalent to one given
for Lincoln. They know full well if they can
succeed in getting a large vote for Breckin-
ridge, that their candidate, Lincoln, will carry
the State, He cannot do it otherwise. But
thanks to those over-zealous Republican,
Breckenridge men they have, in their eager
ness to get Democrats to throw away their votes
on Breckenridge piled it on a little too steep.
The trick is too palpable to win. No good
Democrat is going TO vote in such a way as to
aid the election of the 'irrepressible" candi-
date. Here, in old Highland we are going to
fight the common enemy. We have no war to
rage among ourselves. We all stand under
the folds of the old Democratic banner, which
has led us to victory in days agone and pals
led be the hand that would lower it from the
mast head. / IN free to confess that Mr..
Douglas was not the first choice ofmany Demo
Gratis in this county, myself among the number,
but he has been shown TO be the choice of a
majority of the Democratic party, and of the
people, and we cheerfully submit to the will of
the majority. We are for Douglas now, as we
would have been for Breckenridge, or any
other good Democrat, who could have been
fairly nominated by the National Democratic
Convention. We intend to stand by him to
the end, come veal or woe, sink or swim, sur
vive or perish. We go into the fight with
high hopes and firm resolves. We shall bat
tie against the enemies of the Union and Con-
s%titution, believing that truth and justice toil
prevail, and that God will speed the right
and if we fall we shall fall fighting, our back
to the field, and with out feet to the foe and
our face to the skies.
The young men of Marlborough are about
organizing a Democratic club, and will render
efficient service during the campaign The
young men are nearly all for Douglas, the
Peoples candidate. A truce to politics for the
present.
Our farmers are nearly all through with
their wheat harvest, and a better crop has not
been gathered in Highland for many years.
The oats crop, also, is excellent The corn
looks well, and is growing finely.
Several grown persons and children, and a
number of cattle we're bitten by a dog supposed
TO be mad, last Friday, in the vicinity of Bel
fast, in this county. The result is awaited
with painful anxiety.

A letter is going the rounds of the Republi-
can press, and, five mistake not, il was pub.
lished in the Journal of this city, purporting
to have been written by John Hanks the
veritable man who, it is asserted, was the
partner of ABRAHAM LINCOLN in the 0rail1split,
ting business in Illinois, thirty years ago,
in which Hanks says he is going for the
Republican.nominee for President. Although
the writer in the beginning of the letter says
that he is uneducated, he goes on and occupies
a column and a half in giving his reasons for
supporting LINCOLN, in a style which must
convince any man who reads it, either that
Hanks stated an untruth when he said that
he was "uneducated,' or that Hanks never
wrote it. But our object is not to find fault
with, or object to, the letter in question. If
Republicans consider it good electioneering
material, Democrats have no business to com
plain. The purpose we have in view is of far
greater importance, at least TO the Republi-
cans hereabouts who took stock" in the rails
which were sent to this city some time since,
certified to be genuine specimens of LIScoTN's
abilities as a "railsplitter.' BY comparing
the signature of the letter to which we have
alluded, and the signature attached to the GER
tifcate which accompanied the rails, our Re
publican friends will perceive a marked differ
ence. In the letter he says:
well do / remember when we set out to-
gether in the cold winter to cut and maui rails
on the Sangamon river, in Macon county,
thirty years ago. \ y y Though not a
very beautiful symbol of honesty, | think the
rail a fitting one, and mean to present Abe
with one of his own make, should he be elect
ed, in the city of Washington, on the day Of
his Inauguration, to be kept in the White
House during his administration.
JOHN HANKS"
Our readers will perceive that the above
signature is plain JOINS HANKS" Now let us
examine the certificate as to the genuineness
of that consignment of a dozen rails =
split by old ABE LINCOLN . sent to a gentle
man in this city, about the last of May. In
the Dayton Gazette, published on the LIST of
June, we find the following;
THE LINCOLN RNLs-We are indebted to
our friend, VIM. NJ. Green. for a Walnut Cane,
in the rough, sawed from n rail made by Old
Abe Lincoln, in 1880. 1t is a genuine article,
as the following certificate will prove:
DECATUR, Ill, May -, 1860.
az do hereby certify, that the FIVE rails sent
you this day, by express, are from q lot of
thirty thousand made by Old Abe Lincoln and
myself thirty years ago, in Macon county, ten
miles west of Decatur, and that | have lived
in this county ever since.
