Letter From warrick County.

EDITOR JOURNAL Although this, as a
town, is of no great consequence one
might infer from a communication that
graced a column of the Boonville Democrat,
not long since, that the election of Steve
Douglas to the Presidency chiefly depended
upon her vote.
Yankeetown is the title given to a large
| neigbborhood, in consequence of the settle
ment here of a great many "Easterners'
generally termed "Yankees though the
principal and most conspicuous point is the
combination of post-office and store, which
really constitute the town.
Now the correspondent of the BoonviIle
organ of Popular Squatter Sovereignty
Democracy, is either extremely ignorant of
the prevailing sentiment here, or knowing
ly exaggerates; both being, were we to
judge from his composition, natural charac-
teristics.
OF course, here, rs elsewhere, there are
some remaining fragments of "Old Fogy-
ism" and these, as as natural coincidence,
are Jealous advocates of the doctrines

more intelligent portion OF the community
exhibit, strange to say, not the least SYM
pathy for the equity gentleman.
Warrick, hitherto, has always given
large maiorities in favor of Democratic can
didates, and, doubtless in the coming cleo
tons, there will be a small majority in IA
vor Of Democracy (), but there will GER
tainly be a stronger opposition vote than
ever before known. 1t is q somewhat re-
markable fact that as civilization and en-
lightenmeDt advance, this extravagant
mbuggery-Modern Democracy-rec
1t can't stand the scrutiny of enlightened
investigation. The traces of barbarism are
too certainly depicted upon its countrnance.
The very idea that GALL men were not ere
ated equal is repugnant to the feelings of
every individual in whose soul a vestige of
patriotism exists, and is sufficient cause to
damn the aspirations of any demagOgue
who has no more regard for humanity than
to avow it. The close and brOtherly all;-
ance of Democracy with the peculiar in
stitution," and its Jealous labors to estab-
fish slavery beyond its present limits, there
by casting greater odium upon our free
country, and injuring the cause of free
white labor, is n preparation which the true
American can't digest. The cries of suffer
ing humanity no longer fall lightly upon
the ear, but find a Judgement in the hearts
of all true friends to justice and freedom
and we hope ere long to see the scales fall
from the eyes of the American people. The
success of our country depends upon the
success of that gallant champion of freedom,
Abraham Lincoln-and his is almost GER
tain.
Be assured, then, dear Journal, that
Douglas. the man who, to satisfy his aspir-
ing ambition, would sacrifice principle,
honor, friends, money, country, and, in a
word, anything the sacrifice of which
would insure his success, will not be eles
waited to the " Presidential chair" by the
vote of Warrick. The groans of wounded,
bleeding Democracy continually rend the
air, and every day clears agape that bleed
ing wound afresh." God speed the just
cause.
We have just been blessed with refresh
ing rain. Everything, and every body,
presents a new appearance. All nature
seems to be rejoicing at this timely condo
scension of the clouds, and the broad smile
of satisfaction seems to play upon the face
of the farmer, indicating that he, too, is
made glad. RoBINsING.
