Mr.. EDITOR !:

amonssus ana organized as they are
pleased to believe the Democratic Clul
Of Carlton" This was their mission -
They also made two great Speeches.
They spoke fuently. They are elo
quent They are deep and they take a
deep interest in the welfare Of our coun
ty in particu!ar-of our country in gen
eral. They also take deep interes'
in the Democratic party-the coat tail
part of it. They speak for the Union
They love the Union. They would fight
for the Union. They would lay down
their lives for the Union. They hate
scctiona!ism. They hate Abolitionists
They're opposed to Intervention. They
"go in" for non intervention.
All the difference there is between
the Democrats and Republicans is this
"eternal niger question" They are
same on the tariff. They are the same
on the Pacific Rail road. They are the
same on Internal Improvements. The
only difference then is this 'seternal
niger question. They like niggers
but they don't want them set free. They
feel for the niggers, They sym2athze
with the niggers. But then the ni.gers
ais't so bal off after all They are bet
ter fed and better clothed than the poor
whites up here They are also harpv.-
They are contcnted. They ain't worse
off than white folks.
But to return to ths club. the Office;
Of the club as they stated was, 1st to
unite Democrats I'd to convert Repub
licans to their faith. There were many
good honest Republicans but they need
ed enlightening. They only needed to
be enlightened to Join the Club and Of
course to vote for Douglas. The Club
must do this. Why, only last week SIX
Republicans were converted 10 one night
and at one Club Think of it fellow
Democrats! Six Republicans in one
night and at one place Tho Demo
Gratis had never had an organization in
this county. Some townships had but
one or two Democrats. They (Bolens
and Stoddard) had started out to canvass
the county, and in every town hip where
there was Democrat to found they were
bound to organize Club They inten
ded to carry on the work INCREASINGLY
till next November when old Tama
would roll up 200 majority for Douglas
and johnson and be redeem ed from the
blasting curse of black Republicanism
Glorious prophecy Glorious prophecy
Bo|ens, especially said many fine things,
bat | fear it would be trespassing to m much
on your columns to enumerate them all.
This "etcrnal nigsar question this
slavery agitation seemed to lay heavy up,
on his heart. 1t ought TO- Or course he
wouldn't be guilty Of such mean thing
as lying-I wouldn't do him the inius-
tice to charge him with such thing
but he Did make slight msake when ne
charged the Republican party with
thrusting this "eternal nisgar question
before the country Now, let US look
into this mptter little and see who it
was that brought before the country this
question which is the .bonc Of conten.
ton" between tho different parties in
the present contest.
Undoubtedly the worthy Post Master,
as we'll as every intelligent citizen, we'll
remembers the peace and quiet that uni.
versally reisn I'd throughout our landafter
the passage Of the Compromise Measures
oflS5O. There probably never was time
in our national history, when peace re-.
stored more generally among the Amer
loan people. Both the great national
parties Of 1852 heartily endorsed the
Compromise Measures, and both agreed
in their convention of that year that
slavery was local in its character and
should be left to the government Of the
States in which itexisted. The slavery
question GU all sides, both North and
South, was considered settled and that
too in mannor satisfactory to the peo.
