Nelson and voorhees, at Linton,
Green Co.
Mn. EDIroR Col. Nelson aud ID. W.
Voorhees, met to-. day at Linton and held
their first joint discussion In Green county
The number in attendance was not large,
but respectable. The Colonel led out in
the discussion. aud after having given an
exposition Of Republican principles he
proceeded TO vindicate them Ia most elo.
quent and mastery manner. He met the
issues fairly and fully. and treated them
historically aud practically. and closed his
fret hour by showing up the inconsistent
and tortuous record OF Mr.. Voorhees,, much
to his modification and much TO the mer-
riment Of the audience. During the speech
Of the Col. Mr.. Voorhees, was quite restless
and sought relief by talking to his friends.
Mr.. voorhees, commenced his speech and
first showed, without much difficulty. the
record Of two or three other Democrats
that was equally as inconsistent as Mr..
Nelson had shown his to be. or course
this was perfectly satisfactory. aud then
he made the charge that the Republican
party was AbolitioniEed. aud put in the
remainder Of his time on that point. decla.
ring all the time that he would prove il
before he got through aud after frothing
aud foaming. and splitting and hawking
aud choking. and without proving any
thing or arguing anything or meeting any
issue, he came to the close of his time.
The Col. In his reply perfectly exploded
his false premises aud false reasoning. and
dealt out such fatal blows on the distrac.
ted Democracy that many Of them will be
ct for no further service during the can
vass. The Col. did most excellent days
work. and is in fpe spirits.
The Republicans in old Greene are thor
oughly aroused. aud are determined to
give an account Of themselves that will do
no dishonor 10 the cause, aud that will
create a wonderful shaking among the dry
bones Of Democracy in October.

MoRE DEMOCRATIC IMpuDEScE - On

J N. 8. Causen would address the peeplS
at the Court House on Saturday, COM
mencing at o'clock, p. IN. In the same
paper business meeting OF the Democratic
Club for Saturday night at the same place
was announced.
On Friday morning il was announced
in the Express. that Hon. r. NJ. Corwine
would address the people 10 front Of Re-
publican Headquarters on Saturday night.
This latter arrangement was made by
the Republicans. because there was Nc
suitable place to hold meeting. No one,
not literal ass, could think for moment
that there was anything wrong 10 this.
The next issue of the Journal, on Fri.
day evening, announced that Mr.. Causen
would speak on Saturday night at the
Court House. Why was this change madeS
The object was evident The Journal,
however, in view of all these facts, and at.
ter the contemplate dirty trick of posting
their bills over those put up by the Repub-
licans, has the impudence to say that the
meeting was appointed in front Of Repub.
lican Head quarters "for a purpose."-
/ What purposeI Does the editor Of the

he believes that the Republican meeting
was appointed there from any other thar
honest motivesf Was there ever a lowe
depth Of intamy reached by a partizar

that the Democratic meeting was changed
to night for the purpose ofpreventing thei
followers from hearing Republican
speech. This is what they fear aud thei
