Letter from Spencer County.

EUREKA. Ind, Aug. 25, 1860.
EDIroRs Notwithstanding the
alarming prospects of short crop, caused
by the great drought, the number of Lin
coin men still increases. On the evening
of the 18th, our Republican club met There
was fine turn out The meeting was held
at aplace known as "Nunn's School House."
in the north part of the Township. One
Mr.. E., prominent Douglas man, ap-
peared with a roll of documents so large
that stranger might have mistaken him
tor news-boy.
He had come to vindicate the claims of
the Little Giant, and show popular sover-
eighty. On his arrival at the place, he
soon learned that he not only had to con-
( front some of his young associates, but
that I. F. DeBruler was there and expected
to address the club. After organizing, a
motion was made, that pursuant to previ-
Gus agreement Mr. E was entitled to
the floor. But he, knowing himself to be
IN an unenviable position, wisely declined
but the whole house called for him, and
Mr.. DeBruler urged him to exercise the
privilege which had been granted him some
! time previously. Finally he plucked up
{ courage SAHACtSHb 10 dtttHlpt tuC TASK Ct
/ whitewashing Douglas and sugar coating
popular sovereignty. lie attempted to con-
strue the constitution to fit his peculiar case,
but his constructions were very absurd. He
asserted and attempted to prove that the
/ ultimate design of the Republican party
was negro equality" and for his proof
he read from the platform, where it reads
/ as does the great Declaration of lndepend-
ence. His attempt proved abortive, and
he finally closed by saying that he was net
much of speaker anyhow.
Mr.. DeBruler then proceeded to address
the club. He did not attempt to follow the
crooked train of would-be arguments, which
had gore before, but on the subject Of negro
equality, he proved that the Eastern States,
which by their constitutions extended to the
negroes the privilege of voting, were at the
time of the adoption of those now odious
constitutions strong Democratic Stales; and
that in no act of their own, had the Repub-
lican party ever extended to the negro any
such privilege.
After listening to the able speech of our
friend DeBruler, the club adjourned.

ss5~The Enquirer makes sundry charges
against the Republican party for State mis-
management in 1854 Is it possible that
the Enquirer editor can be SO ignorant as
that Why, there was no Republican party
in 1854. That party did not take it's rise
until 1856. What ignorance And this
is the Nineteenth Century, and we live in
a city of free schools!
For the benefit of the Willard organ, we
will publish a speech in day or two that

A QUERY" willard was invisible on
the Charley Bovea on Friday night, be-
tween here and Newburgh. We are request
ed by an anxious inquirer to ask where be
was, ard what be was doing Our friend
may be considered impertinent but sure
as innocent a man as the editor of the
Enquirer can have no objection to tell his
whereabouts on q pleasure excursion.
Journal
We were engaged in private room, and
if the friend Of the editor of the Journal
who asked the question, consults his finances,
he can readily answer the latter part of the
question without our aid l-ERguirer
What wnning way Willard has, to be
sure. lie seems to have returned flush with
victory. Rumor says that he came within
an ace of losing all he had, though What
the deuce could have induced him to remain
on the boat in the midst of the din of battle
up town? From the noise, he might have
supposed that Tray, Blanche, and Sweet
heart, and alb the little dogs were barking
at the Republicans He should therefore
have passed up town to see the muss, and
take items. To defend himself against the
Black Republicans he might have taken
poker along.
"The wreck of matter and the crush of
worlds would make no impression on
Willard when engaged in reading the His
tory of the Four Kings" much less the
killing of one or two Black Republic

residence of the Hon. A. I. Galt finance
minister, where he partook of lunch and
had levee. Towards the close he was pre-
sented to Mr.. FELTON,, an old and respected
citizen who was signal midshipman on
Nelson's flag ship at Trafalgar. He was sub
sequently deprived of his rank for the loss
OF the sloop of war Curna near the West
Indies. The case was one of considerable
hardship; and on the Prince being informed
of the particulars, he restored Mr.. FELTON,
to his rank IN the Navy. The act gave
great satisfaction and was loudly applauded
by those present.
The Prince on his return to the station
was surrounded by an immense crowd who
vehemently cheered him, while the ladies
threw boquets to him so fast and thick as al
most overwhelmed him. He arrived back
at Montreal at $50 P. N. He will leave
for Oftowa in the morning.

A Former OUTRAGE.-W When Albert
Lange, our clever and popular nominee for
Auditor of State, was in this part of the
State, about six weeks ago, be spoke at New
burgh We heard at the time that he was
most shamefully insulted by some Dem
ocratic rowdy, but have Just learned who it
was. The person who, in that public as
semblage, called Mr.. Lange liar and fol-
lowed this insult up by committing a name
less indecency, was Sol. Coker (the proper
spelling we are informed) This is the
same person who fred unprovokedly on the
Wide Awakes on the night of the oath.
This man Coker, be it remembered, is
magnate in the Democratic party in War
rick county-their nominee for Coroner.
Yes, Sol. Coker is high in the confidence
of the Democracy of Warrick County
The people of Warrick are beginning to
see how they have been feeced and dis
graced by Democratic rulers, and the Oc-
tober election will show that they are de-
termined to throw off this incubus.

Compound Extract Of SarSaparillai

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedals that have
been discovered for the expurgaton of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-,
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvR
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRR,
ROSE, or EnYs1pELAs, PIMpLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs, BLA1Ns and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEuM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRN,
RHEuMATIsM, SYrmIL1TIc and MERcuRIAI Dis
EASES, DEoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILlTY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in "inpw1ty ofMe blood" is founded i'll truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible i'll
contaminated constitutions.
