CAMproNyuLE, Sept 10th.
EDITOR DrNocRAr:-For some time we
have been looking for public speakers to
drop in and enlighteu US on the political
questions Of the day; but thus far only one
has given us a call, viz: the "Republican
prodigy" Thos. Fitch whose speech consist
ed of extracts of Summers last speech on the
"barbarism of slavery" and few stale anec-
dotcs which were played out by Ned Mar
shall in the canvass of lS55.
But little is said here about the Presiden-
tia election; the all absorbing question with
all parties here is, how can We defeat the
Lime Point ticket for Senator and Assembly
men-who dare not deny their lord and mas
ter, Wm. NJ. Gwin.
The Democratic ticket with 'our Charley
at the head will sweep this end of the coun-
ty with an overwhelming majority, for the
reason the people have confidence in the
ability, integrity and well known opposition
Of our candidates to Gwin for IT, 5. Senator,
have conyersed with number of the
Breckinridgers and have found only two
whoiutend to support the Court House nom
nations and they are men who are looking
something hereafter from the Court House
clique
am told tnat Weller is coming up this
way again to tell us about that soldier dying
on the field of battle with a smile on his
countenancc, and how often he has voted the
straight ticket, DC, g. but its no use; the
people of this State have long since conclu-
ded to lay him and Gwin "upon the shelf to
dry"
Mr.. Elwell, the Democratic nominee for
the Assembly from this place will poll Il
larger vote in this township than Chapman
did last fall for Treasurer. He is eminently
qualified, Of unblemshed character and a
sound Democrat.
As Tor Charley, the Breckinrilgers conccde
his election, and only regret they did not
vote for him last fall More anon.

He SPEAKs.-The Sacramento Union furn-
ishcs to the Boilers the speech of j. c. Breck-
inridge, delivered at Ashland, Ky, on the
9th of September, in defence of his present
position. 1t is, for the most part, a very poor
attempt at repelling the charges of disuuion
against the party with which he is acting.
II asks the people if they ever heard of his
ayowng disunion sentiments. OF course they
never had, but they had otter heard VIM. L.
GaGcey and his tribe do it, and still heard
numerous papers that support Breckinridge
avow that they supported him on the ground
Of his nomination being stepping stone to
disunion by distracting the Democratic party
and making the election Of Lincoln a posi-
bility
The speech is not a powerful one at all,
and is largely on the defensive Il seemed
to take all his time to clear up or attempt to
clear up the foggy atmosphere in which his
nomination is envclcped. Poor man, be will
find his wandering feet full weary and sore

affections of the American people

The Decatur Nominee.

The public sentiment seems to be somewhat
divided as 10 who shall be the nominee Of the
Decatur Convention, for Governor. Of those
named for that office. all are good men-eithcr
OF whom would administer our State Govern
ment creditaby to themselves Us well as to the
otate-out the question that must settle this
matter will he, who Gun command the greatest
number Of rotes, and when the Convention
meets, then atise strength and popularity Of each
should be lmpartiatiy considered, and whouso-
ever he muy be that eau command the greatest
strength, let him be nominated, md no fears
need be entertained of the result. AL whose
names hare been before the public, are compa1-
atively strangers in Southern 1llinois-at least,
but few hare any personal acquaintance with
them /; politically speaking, they are known as
men IF talent and ability. The Hon. y. D.
Judd, perhaps, is better known than any one
spoken Of, from tie fact that be stands in the
front rnuk Of Republicanism IN Illinois, harins,
Douglas threatened to spread the black tag Of
slavery over tue fertile prairies of the West,
distinguished himself in repelling the invasion,
and thus won the high estimation Of all who
respect the rights Of the white man. No man
could make better Governor, and if merit is
appreciated, his claims will stand pre-emiuent.
Of Mr.. Swc!t, we have heard many favorable
expressions, and from partial acquaintance
with him, and Of his political history. ne feel
warranted in saying that be would make an ex.
ce1fent officer.
Mr. Yates is young man Of fine talents. who
has disting guSbed himself in tue political his
tory Of our State, having served in the Legisla-
ture and In the Congress Of the United States
With ability, where hc obtained the well-earned
name and reputation Of statesman.
With either Of the gentlemen named, the Re-
publican partv can march 10 certain victory,
There are other officers to select, as well Is
Governor, that should receive the careful con
sideratiou Of the Convention. For Auditor Of
State. the Hon. Jesse Il. Dubois who has filed
the otfiee the last four years with such distin-
guished ability, will, no doubt, sgain be noa:i-
mated. In him all recognize man Of sterling
Integrity and honesty OF purpose; and when
man OF such moral worth has confded to his
keeping the administration of affairs, the people
IRE slow to transfer them to other hands. II is
pleasure to US to witness the disnterested ex-
prcsssons Of appreciation Of the official conduct
Of our old friend and neiRhbor, who, we feel
proud to say, can carry more votes in Southern
ILLINOIS than any man that could possibly be
nominated think ofany other, would be e1-
treme folly.
For Secretary of State, Mr. Hatch has proven
himself good and faithful officer. and should
he again be nominated, will acqnit himself with
honor Mr. Butler, candidate for Treasurer, is

to bow their naughty heads before despised

the spirit Of rivalry manifested by Nature, and
are assisting her in her work. Large fields Of
tomatoes arc now set out, and will be rcady for
market By the middle Of June-probably 2o, ,0oo
bushels will be sent to market from this place
alone. An immense amount of sweet potatoe
plants Of superior quality, are now ready for
market, only waiting for the sun to get t,mc to
