How IT HURrs THEM The Local of the
Journal is again troubled in spirit and vi
tuperateth. He goes into Hon. Tom Cor
win with exceeding vehemence and indig
nation. repeating false charges against
that venerable gentleman and honored
statesman, against Honest Old Abe, the
peoples choice for the next Presidency,
and closes with shout for that which the
Journal Locals party have been practicing
for years, and are now practicing-treaso D.
Abe Lincoln never said the war With
Mexico was unjust He only said what
Clay, and Webster, and Thompson, and
George G Dunn and all the Wings of
1S47-S said that war had been unnecessa-
rily and unconstitutionally commenced,
by the proclamation of the President of
the United States.
The Local of the Journal knocs that he
misrerrepresents Mr.. Lincoln, yet it would
be undemocratic to tell the truth. The
same is the case with respect to his on
slsught on Tom Corwin.
Ed. Baker is by his daily efforts to elect
Lincoln President giving the lie to these
charges against Lincoln.
The bitterness of the Democracy, since
it has been demonstrated that the vandslic
hand that struck down the compromises ol
the early patriots of the Republic, shall
never sway the sceptre over this people

We know of no remedy for their suffer
ings. They must drink the cup TO its

We clip the following from the Missouri
Democrat:
The most popular man in the Ninth
Congressional District of Indiana, un-
doubtedly is its representative to Congress
just elected for the third term. Mr.. Colfax,
at each successive election. has been cho
sen by an increased majority. and invari-
ably run ahead his own ticket. In 1856
the majority Of the Republican State ticket
in his own district was eight hundred,
whereas, his majority exceeded Thousand.
In SO, the same ticket had majority in
round numbers of fourteen hundred. and
his rose to nearly two thousand. This
year. Lanes majority ia the Ninth District,
is :, $50 and Colfax's, $500.
Such uniform testimony for period of
six years. to the popularity of public
man, among those who know him, is no
doubtful criterion of his private and pub
lie worth. But whoever is acquainted
with Mr.. Colfax, and the diligence, effic
iency and zeal with which he has discharg
ed his duties as member of Congress,
will not be at all surprised at the renewed
and increasing manifestations of regard
aud affection (of which he has been the
object) on the part Of his constituents. No
gentleman more conscientiously laborious
has seat 10 the House of Representatives,
nor one who devotes himself more thor
oughly to subjects of national Importance.
As chairman Of the Committee on Post OF I
fees and Post Roads. he has exhibited an
energy and enlightment which would JUS
tify us in pronouncing him, young as he
is, a proficient in genuine, practical states
The people of the Ninth Dis
trict of Indiaua-nsy. the whole State
may well be proud of such Representa-
live, and the Republican party of the West
Of such leader.

"EpuoArioS THE BASE OF Democracy. ~
The Chicago Journal says that a RePubli-
can down in one Of the "Egyptian" coun-
ties recently remarked to Douglas Dem
ocratic leader that the people Of that Sec
tion had commenced to read aud think for
themselves, and were, in consequence, rap
idly coming over to the Republican party
."Yes," replied the Douglas man. "but
thank God we have at least four hu ndred
men in this county who can't read, and we
may rely on their votes every time" This
is an actual fact.

The Result I'm this Congregational
District.

1t is very interesting to the earnest Re
publicans of this State and particularly of
this Congressional District, to witness the
rapid progress there has been made dur
ing the last few years in Republication.
In this Congressional District, composed
of the coonties of Vermilion. Parke, Put
nam, Clay, Owen, Green, Sullivan a nd vi
go the steady and rapid increase is both
fiattering and encouraging. Perhaps no
portion Of Indiana, was at first, so violent
ly opposed to the principles of the Repub-
lican party, as this. In no portion of In
diana has there ever been SO much diff
Guilty in organizing the Republican party.
We had everything to contend against
every kind Of opposition to battle-every
shade of prejudice to over come.
In October 1856 John G. Davis who was
then the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. receiv ed In this District ii 81 votes.
while John p. Usher, who received all Of
the Republican and as general thing the
American support. got only 9,527 votes
making the Democratic majority in this
District, at that time. 1606.
In November of the same year, Mr.. Fre-
mont received 6.35s. Mr.. Fillmore 3,340
and Mr.. Buchanan 10. .923 votes. The vote
Of Mr.. Fremont must be regarded as the
entire Republican strength in this Dis
trict four years ago. 1t will be seen by
this that Mr.. Buchanan's majority was A.
565 over Mr.. Fremont. and that the Amer.
lean and Democratic vote united, gave T..
sos more than the pure Republican vote.
The vote in 1858, owing to the Lecomp
ton and Anti Lecompton divisions in this
District. was no test Of the strength of any
party, and We will not, 10 this connection
refer to it,
In 1850. in the campaign which has jas
closed. the Republican party made thu
race upon the Republican doctrines alone
What remained Of the American element
was. as general thing oppose To them :
The Brsctinridge vote went almost unan
imously, for the Democratic State Ticket
and the Republican party rested upon u
own strength.
Perhaps the vote cast for Messrs. Nelso
and Voorhees,. ls the best test OF tn
strength of the two parties. In this district
at this tine. Mr.. Nelson received IL 81
and Voorhees, 2.535 votes. making tn
Democratic majority, in this district,
this time 1919 This makes Republica
gain over Fremont's vote in 1856. offs, 5,l6s-
over Mr.. Usher 1900, 1918 more than u
: Fremont and Fillmore vote combined, an
3,2O5 more than the Republicans pole

How very encouraging are these figure

tainly they show. with what rapidity u

\ national doctrines Of the Republican part,

A Good Paper for Every Family.

All our readers may not be acquai nted
with one of the most valuable agricultural
and family Journals in the country, now
in its nineteenth volume. We refer to the
American Agriculturist, which is large
and beautiful journal, devoted to the prac.
tical labors of the Field, Garden, and the
Household. 1t is prepared by practical
men (and women) who know what they
write about. and it gives great amount of
valuable information, nseful not only 10
farmers, gardeners, stock. raisers, fruit grow
ers and those who have little village plots,
but alsolto every family. We advise our
readers to send 81 to the publisher, Orange
Judd, Al Park Row, New York, and try
the Agriculturist year. A specimen copy
can doubtless be had by sending to the
publisher. Those subscribing now for the
twentieth volume, (l66l } will get the re.
naming numbers of this year without
charge.

Prospect OF Gaining Republican
Member from Delaware.

The little State Of Delaware is by no
means given up to pro. slaveryisn. The
Statement published few days ago, shows
that in WilniBgtoo, the principal town In
ihe State, the Lincoln candidate for In
spector was far ahead Of either Bell or
Douglas. aud that the vote Of either candi-
date given TO either Of the others would
have defeated the Breckenridge candidate.
The Bell aud Lincoln vote together was
in a majority Of 300. We are, therefore
gratifed to notice that a cordial union has
been effected in Delaware upon candi.
date for Congress. with every prospect Of
success Hon. George p. Fisher has been
nominated by both the Constitutional
Union party and the Peoples (Lincoln)
party. Mr. Fisher IS eminently fair man
and 'if elected. which seems probable. he
will give the Administration OF Mr.. Lincoln
a candid support.

Henry Ward Bcccher on Interest.

How many people in the country have
found out the truth of the following by
Henry Ward Becher:
"No blister draws sharper than inter
est does OF all industries mono is COM
parable to that of interest. 1t works
day and night, in fair weather and foul.
1t has no sound in its footsteps, but
travels fast, Itgnaws mans substance
with invisible teeth. 1t binds industry
with its film, as fly is bound upon a
SPIDERS wed Debt rolls man over and
over, binding him hand and foot, and
letting him hang upon the fatal mesh un-
til the long-legged interest devours him.
There is no crop that can afford to pay
Interest on money on farm.
There is but one thing raised on q
fsrm like it, and that is the Canadian
thistle, which swarms new plants every
time you bleed its roots, whose blossoms
are prolific, and every one the father of
million seeds. Every leaf is IN awl,
every branch a spear, and every single
plant like a platoon of bayonets, and a
field of them is like an armed host 4 he
whole plant is torment and vegetable
curse. And yet farmer had better
make his bed Of Canadian thistles, than
attempt to lie at case upon interest.
