And has soldiers are the voters,
In their majesty and might
On the records of our country
There is not brighter name
Than the hUnored name of Douglas,
Who shall ever live for fame.

lsf,4-as rssSI sds bsa.r.a For the Derpocratr- d
Ed. DExocRAr-I noticed an article in the Re
publican of the 5th inst. wtich gave entire false
statement in, regard to our Representative Conyehl
tion.hsld; here on the.3oth ult . h
The article appears to be an edtofal bnt a part
of itparrorts to have been taken from friend .s
from Starke county who happenedto bcsin Knox, ="
but do not believe we have citizen in our eOun-
ty anvwhere that has so little regard for Truth as
is manifested in the article under consideration,
and as It is falsehood from iii SC TO last give the
editor of the Republican the credit of having orig
inatedthe whole thing. He said his friend told
him that the number in attendance was very small
and nearly as many Republicans as Democrats
were in town. Now, that is mistake and intend
ed to mislead, as all who were there, know to the
contrary.
He slys the procession consisted Of two wagons,
one, drawn by eleven yoke of oxen, containing
eight or ten Democrats and two or three Repubh-
cans who rode merely for sport they wfalso vote
with US for sport,) together with ten or fifteen boys
Now, that friend certainly hadon his leather spec
taclez, or he could have counted more than doub-
le that number of Democrats in the wagon: 'the
other riekety concern t.awn by. two Old horses
unencumbered with scarcely particle OF flesh on
their boncs.''- The concern, tits true, was not
costly coach or carriage, but good common waG-
on, such as most farmers are glad to get in this
new country, and Mr. Preltyman's horses referred
to a. ie in as good condition as to flesh and age as
any farmers in the country. There arc bat few
better in this county.
Now, as far as tlse article &c! rs 10 .Ir- Packard
aud his chances f5r success in .arke, in CT,
only bave to say, That have hot heard one word
aeainss him nor the MARSHALL delegation that came
with him. There are citizens in Starke who hare
known Nr. Packard much longer than the editor
of the Republican has. and have yet to find the
first Democrat who viii not support him most
heartily. v hen he was nominated the Repabii-
cans hercabouts, set Up most piteous wall but it
viii not avail them anything, for they VII ind tie
Democracy OF StsPke county united and fra in The
cause OF Democracy, aIslit useless for the editor
Of the Republican to rack his small amount OF
brains couiuring ny lies aIr. Packard the peo-
PIE q tlds county know Mattngy to be incapable
fell lg the plain truth when a falschood can be
IilveIted.
Why does be not praise Mr.. Jones and speak OF
his ability to discharge the duties of a Represent
ativel The truth IS, that he knows Mr.. Jones to
be anything eise hat suitable man for legisla-
tor, and he knows also that he is not able to make
canvass 6f the district with Mr.. Packard, and thi:
is Why he is trying to prejudice the minds of hi.
readers against our candidate, but he viii find that
the people of ths county viii not be Influenced by
his low slang and fi representations.
