Harrison County I'm the Field.
BY TYLER, WISE u ALLEGRO.

Yesterdays mail brought us the following
spirit stirring appeal from Harrison, one OF the
largest most intelligent and most wealthy
counties Of the Northwest 1t was prepared
before the passage Of the ordinance OF secession
by our State Convention, and is therefore the
more significant; showing, as it does, that the
neople Of Harrison do not feel it their duty 10
wait for orders 10 prepare themselves for de-
fence against Black Republican invasion. Tho
address is signed by scores Of the leading men
Of Harrison, without regard to past party
designation. Ex-Governor Joseph Johnson's
nuuie, it will be seen, appears 6rst on the list.
Tho Same Joseph Johnson vas a popular and
el .lcnt officer in the war Of 1912. He is now
well stricken in years, but the gallant old soldier
is still ready to buckle Oh his armor for the
fight against the enemy of his counlry.
Harrison, the reader will bear in mind, is
the residences Of John S. Garlic. The question
~ not now whether that worthy shall he elec
| ted to Congress from the Harrison district, but
whether or not he shall be- permitted 10 get
! his foot within it's limits rs q Sublnissionist.
