HARD RUH.-Never were men in such
q strait for objections against candidates,
as the Democracy now are in relation to
Lincoln and Hamlin. They have utter
ly failed to find anything against Lincoln,
and have been reduced to such low ebb,
that they have picked out some typo
graphical blunders in his letter of sccep-
lance, as published in soma obscure news
papers, which they are blowing over. as
an evidence that he is illiterate
But they have stopped lower yet with
regard to Hamlin. The following is the
latest argument against him. Reader,
who do you suppose makes use Of such
stuff? You will probably say some OBJ
scure county print, that makes no claim
to dignity. But you are mistaken-it is
no less sheet than the St. Louis Repub-
lican. Do honest men want any better
evidence of the utter hopelessness and
decentralization Of party that resorts to
this sort of warfare against its opponents?
Here is the Republicans argument-snd
it is fair specimen of the matter with
which that ponderous sheet is daily FILL
ed -
HANNIBAL HAMIS.-The Hon. Mr..
Rhett, late Senator in Congress from
South Carolina, sitting along side of Mr..
Hamlin for years in the Senate, charges
that Mr.. Hamlin. now the Black Repub-
lican candidate for Vice President, is q
mulatto.
To give the matter a still worse look,
the Republican. utter uttering the above
libel upon the authority of Barnwell
Rhett, in another column Of the very same
issue contents that Rhett has no claim
upon the regard of respectable men, be.

INDioSATIoN MEETING.-A mass meet
ing was called to assemble at Troy, on
Saturday last, to protest against and de-
nounce the extravaganza and corruption
Of our present Board Of County Commits

lican; and other matters of like nature
As for ourself we were not in favor oil
such a meeting. The people were &C.
quaintei with the spirit and acts of the
Kansas Democracy for four or FIVE years.
They had seen it and /eh it in all its
loneliness. They have seen what Demo
cracy is everywhere, whenever it can OBJ
tain power. Yet, in the face of all this,
they elected Democrats. Now let them
abide by the consequences. If they will
swallow Democracy, let them do their
own vomiting. Instead of making much
ado over it, we think it would benefit
very many Of the people of Kansas to be
trotted through, for ten years at a stretch,
as they were in 1856. Then they would
probably remember it for at least six
months afterwards. Nothing milder
would serve to open their eyes. To be
sure, the innocent must suffer with the
guilty but they will have to stand it,
for the sake Of the guilty. Some people,
like some dogs, think themselves sighted
if every passer by does not give them a
kick. To make the matter short. we are
confident there is a fair Republican ma
jority in the County, and we have always
urged every one to go to the polls. AS
they did not see proper to do so, they
have no right to complain at the result Of
their own negligence.
LATER.-Wslearn that the Democratic
rufians from all parts of the County as
sembled at Troy, took possession of the
meeting, and prevented any action

tegrity shrinks not from public investiga-
ton. The place to censure such con-
duct is at the polls. Let us see whether
the memory of this will last until mex
election day.

WHAT CHANGE Those Dem ocratic
papers which support Douglas. have sud-
denly discovered the horrid and treason
able designs Of the FIRE eaters, disunion-
lists and secedsrs, who support Breckin-
ridge and Lape. This sudden opening
OF the eycs is as great a miracle as a sim
liar Operation recorded in Sacrel Writ /;
Eut We opine it required infinitely more
dirt and spittle to effect the modern oper-
alton, than the ancient one. During the
whole Of the last session Of Congress, the
same men daily uttered reasonable SEN
timents the most foul, and not word
Of rebuke did Democratic Congress
man or newspaper utter against it. On
the contrary. it was their constant endeav.
or to smooth over, suppress or justify the
reasonable language. The Great Mogul,
Douglas himself. patted them encourag-
ingly, and brought in his invasion bill
for their benefit. Vallandigham, the
Douglas fugleman of Ohio, strove to
beat them in abusing the North, and even
attempted to take upon himself their
name of reproach. by calling himself a
western fire eater" Logan, the Doug
las big gun Of Illinois, crawled at their
feet, confessed that he was willing to do
the dirty work" of the South, and de-
clsred that he gloried in it Notwith-
standing all this grovelling and dirt eat
ing. the South has Indignantly spurned
these men and their master and now
they suddenly discover treason and dis.
union in the South Treason and dis
union were there before, and the Douglas
men famed and fed the fame.
Such is the honesty of modern bogus
Democracy. If such miracle were pos
sible as the election of Douglas to the
Presidency. before he had been in office
one year. he would be as plant and OBJ
sequious tool in the hands Of these same
fire-eaters and disuniOnists, as ever James
Buchanan was

CATTLE DRowNED.-Another drove Of
fine cattle from Texas, came into this
neighborhood, last week. to cross the riv-
err. An attempt was made to have them
swim the river, starting in about half a
mile above town, but they were not so
fortunate as the drove that crossed the
week before. The drovers committed an
error in attempting to cross the entire
drove at the same time. The animals
crowded upon each other, and became so
entangled together in deep water, that
some fifteen were drowned. 1t was rath-
err bad speculation but we judge the
Indians did not grieve over it,

AcCoRDIsa TO ScRRTURE.-Everything
seems to favor Lincoln. Even the Scrip.
lures prophecy bis success, and Douglas
overthrow. Some one has been "search
ing the Scriptures" and has brought the
fact to light. Regarding Lincoln, We
find in Genesis, 18th chapter, 4th and
9Th verses, the following:
behold my covenant is with thee, and
thou shalt be father of many nations.
Neither shall thy name any more be call
ed Abram, but thy name shall be Abra-
ham for father Of many nations have
I made thee"
Douglas fate is recorded in Acts, 9Th
chapter, 26th verse, as follows
"And devout men carried Stephen to
his burial, and made great lamentstion
over him."

Douglasites, that Breckenridge and bis

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says
that Gov. johnson has demonstrated that
Breckenridge and Douglas stand on the
