A New Dodge.


Joe Giles, whose political bread and
butter depend upon the election Of Off
this fall, is perambulating the county and
peddlmg out Deputy Sheritf-ships to Re-
publieans for their support of the Demo-
cratic county ticket. He has been in He
bron and we are informed has found Re
publican there, whose name we have, who
has pledged himself to go for Off. The
consideration upon which he has consented
to do this is that he is to be made deputy
Sheriff in the event of OFFS election. The
same thing was attempted in Sullivan, but
in one case we heard of, did not succeed.
Whether some other Republican was found
there, so destitute of brains as to sell him.
self out for so trihing and nominal a price
as Joe Giles promise of an office, we are
not advised. Our friends in that town
should be on their guard, and if they
find black sheep in their flock, they had
better try and learn the cause. 1t undoubt-
eddy will be found to be prospective
Deputy-ship from OFF.
This same game viii be attempted in
other towns. The Loco Focos are desper-
ate, and will resort to all sorts of means
to win success. Republicans, we trust,
will not become parties to any Of their
swindles and frauds upon the people,
Any Republican who places the least reli-
ancc upon Giles political promise is fool.
If Of should happen to be elected, which
we do not consider at all probable or even
possible, he would not dare to appoint a
Republican Deputy, if he wanted to ever
50 much, for the clique who manage the
Democratic machine would not let him.
Any man who thinks to the contrary
does Mt begin to know them BALI as we'll as
we do.

Another Lie Nailed.

The lFeltbwyer urges as reason why
our candidate for Sheriff should not be
elected, that in the Legislature last winter
he originated, advocated and helped to
pass the Dog Law We do not know
what that matter has to do with this cleo
ton; still as it is claimed that Mr.. Smith
was instrumental in having that measure
become law, and as an appeal is made
to all those who dislike its provisions to
now oppose Mr.. Smith, it is but simple
act Of justice to him that the truth should
be stated
The fact is simply this that Law origin
ated in the Senate, and when it came to
the House to be acted upon, Mr.. Smith
was engaged on committee aud did not
vote upon the matter one way or the other.
That is ali there is of it. Mr. Smith
claims no credit for the passage Of the
law, nor does he wish those who are now
opposed to it, to hold him responsible for
it. What his opinion is of the law, we
don't know, nor do we care. We only
desire that no extraneous issues shall be
brought into the canvass, CT if they
are that they shall be correctly stated
We are in favor of a fair fight, and do not
wish to succeed if we can only do SO by
belying the Democratic candidates. We
hope they and their organs will have the
decency to be equally candid and truthful.

Do not FORGET

That every vote for Larrabee this fall for
Congress is vote in favor of the extension
of Slavery into all the Territories of the
United States, whether already organized
or hereafter to become So The friends of
Freedom, we trust. will not stultify them
selves BY giving him their support. They
should vote for Judge Sloan, who while he
recognizes all the privileges to which the
South is entitled and would not withhold
from her single one, is equally strenuous
in his advocacy of the rights of the Free
North. He is not. as is Larrabee. "a
Northern man with Southern principles"

Look out for Roorbacks.

The Democrats never went through a
political campaign in this county yet With
out lying. and the present one bids fair to
be no exception to the rule. We under
stand the HeZtbmyer has stated that if eur
candidate for Sheriff is elected he will sell
out his Office, and that he has no idea of
discharging its duties if chosen. There
may be people who are unacquainted with
the editor of that sheet and therefore do
not know how little confidence should be
placed in what he says For tho benefit
of all such we desire to state that the story
to which we have alluded is a very bung-
ling falsehood, and is manufactured out of
whole cloth. Rothe knew as much when
he penned it. Mr.. Smith is running for
the Sherifalty in good fa:th, ard if chosen
will not be mere catspaw in the hands
of evil designing men; but vii be really,
and in fact, Sheriff of the county, and for
the whole term for which he is elected
That he will discharge his duties in an ac-
eeptable manner to the people, no one who
is acquainted with him will for moment
doubt. Can the IIehJ,uyer say as much
for its candidate?

A Disappointment.

The multitude assembled last Mon
day night to hear Hon. G. A. Grow we're
greatly disappointed at the non-arrival of
that gentleman according to the appoint
ment of the State Committee A despatch
received late in the afternoon stated that
he had been delayed by trains and that he
consequently could not fulfil the engage
ment. The meeting, however, was ad-
dressed with good effect by Hon. Charles
Billinghurst Of Juneau, Gov. Holmes of
Jefferson, and r. Barber, Jr of this city.
They of course were not prepared with
speeches, as no intimaton had been given
them that they were to be pressed into
The service on that occasion, but they all
acquitted themselves with much credit
They were listened to with great attention,
except by little coterie of democratic
rowtles in the outskirts of the crowd who
tried very much to break up the meeting
by their howllngs and interruptions. We
have alluded to this matter in another part
of our paper, and therefore have nothing
to add concerning it here.

The Jefferson Heet,no The Republican

The Jefferson Meeting The Republican
Meeting at Jefferson last Saturday was COM
plete success The crowd in attendance was
yariously estimated at from three to four thou
sand, Every town in the county was repre-
sented. with three or four exceptions, and great
enthusiasm prevailed from the commencement
of the meeting to its close. Judge Howe and
Gov. Randall were the speakers of the day and
kept the crowd in good humor during the whole
time. Their speeches, of course. were good for
they never make any other kind.
The Wide Awake demonstration in the eve
ming was grand affair and went off in fine
style. There were some eight hundred of the
fraternity IN the procession, and they made
magnificent display. They paraded the streets
until about nine o clock, when they al depart
| ed for their homes. The Democrats behaved
themselves very handsomely aud allowed the
affsir to pass off without any of their interrupt
ton We are the more particular to mention
this, IN view of the disgra ceful manner in
which some OF that party conducted themselves
here last Monday night We are glad to
know that mob law does not reign elsewhere as
IL ooeo h0ie, anu that there is one place IN the
county where Republicans get together for
the purpose of holding meeting and not be
molested.
The Republicans and Wide Awakes of JEFF
1erson are particularly deserving of praise for
the admirable arrangements so successfully
carried out under their management. They
entertained all the Wide Awakes in hospita-
Ole manner, and made liberal outlay of
money for Fireworks which in the evening,
were displayed with fine effect. They have
abundant cause for congratulation over the
success of their meeting
We intended to say few words commenda-
tory of some of the Wide Awake companies
present, but are compelled to forego them for
want of room

Facts for the People.

The democratic speakers last fall, in
urging the election of the democratic State
ticket, asserted among many other things,
that the State expenses for the year closing
the last Of last month would certainly
reach the sum of 500, 5000. This
assertion was backed up by figures, and
published extensively under the head of
Facts for the people" One of the main
objects of this assertion was to show that
the small State tax of only $3.50, 900 levied
by the republican legislature last proceed
ing, was sham and deception upon the
people, as it would not begin to meet the
inevitable expenses.
Well, the $4,000, and no more, of
general tax was levied and collected. On
the last day of last month, the State
Treasurer and Secretary made up their
account for The fiscal year. and made re-
port of the same, By that report it APP
pears, that there is not only no floating
State Indebtedness, but an actual surplus
in the treasury Of 500, 045.4O These are
'Jacts for the people" worth hearing and
worth needing, Was the like ever known
in democratic times? Not cent of State
Indebtedness, not an account which is not
which is not paid as soon as verified, and
forty thousand dollars, very nearly, clean
cash in the treasury. And all this, on a
direct State tax Of only $4,000.
In view of the fact that with quite as
good advantages for doing the same thing
the democracy while in power, never did
do it, we have right to claim this as the
fruit of republican rule. Free Democrat.

The democratic Association of Leaven-
WORTH Kansas, have just issued a paper
making disclosures that will set hard upon
the political st9machs of those who support
Douglas with the idea that he was sincere
and manly IN his opposition to the Lecomp-
ton proslavery constitution which the slave
ryites attempted to fasten upon that terri
tory.
A committee of this Democratic Associ-
alton" state that, after investigating the
matter fully, by corresponding with menu
bers of the Lecompton Convention, of which
John Calhoun was the President and lead
ing spirit, and otherwise prosecuting
their inquiries, with tie one single object
of getting at the truth of the matter, they
are satisfied that Stephen A. Douglas, with
whom Calhoun had for years been warm
co-worker in politics, was actually tie Or
iginafor Of the infamous Leconpton Gonsti-
tuion-Mat ii vas framed by his adojce,
that he promised to support the measure n.
CongTess-but that, owing to the over
whelming Indignation that was manifested
against it throughout the country, he was
deferred from fulfilling his promise, and
left Calhoun and his coadjutors and the Adj
nlinistration of James Buchanan to should
er the responsibility of the great infamy.
These are evidently all facts. Members
of the Leeompton Convention and other
reliable persons testified to them over
their own signatures-and the men who
have made the investigation and have dis
closed the matter, are themselves Demo
crdfS
These disclosures may surprise some men,
but they do not surprise us. We know
the man so well, that we deem this new
discovery in the Little Giants career as
simply character. stic.- Chicago Journal
