u. 8. Senator.

Democrats are charged with desiring
the election Of Jesse D. Bright to the
Senate of the United States, and loud ap-
peals are constantly made by some poli,i-
cal demagogues to support the Republican
candidates for Senator and Representative,
in order TO defeat Bright.
Now we happen to know that Mr.. Bright
is not candidate, and there is not the
slightest probability that he will be. and
that il he sborid be, neither Mr.. Corbin
nor Mr.. Packard would support him.
There is much greater probability that
DR.. Sherman and Mr.. Parks would vote
for Bright than that either Mr.. Corb,n or
Packard would do so.
Sherman and Parks both support a
Breckiuridge man for STATE Office on their
regular State ticket. and il would not be
very strange to see them supporting an
other for U. s. Senator.

Conditional support.

The South Bend Register the organ OF
Schuyler Colfay. conditionally endorses
the Presidents letter to Horace Greedy.
We say conditiOnally because the endorse
menl is made on the surposition that "Mr.
Lincoln does not intend. in taking his po-
sition. to ignore any law of Congress on
the subject" That's it. If the Presi
dent comedies with Greedy on the subject
Of freeing the ringers. and will issue a
proclamation to that effect, Why then, Mr.
Colfax will endorse, sustain and defend
him, otherwise not. That is the condition
of Mr.. COLLARS support Of the President
in his efforts to crush out the rebellion
The truth is that leading Republicans eve-
rywhere, audi Mr.. Colfax among the mum

less slavery is abolished. the war is useless

of abolitionism, and for the present all is
safe il that quarter. Let the people sus-
tain him by cordially standing by the doc
rrine enunciated in his letter TO that arch
traitor and disorganizer. Horace Greedy.
Let them say by their votes, this fall, that
ultrais.s in politics shall be laid upon the
shelf, and that conservative men with 10y

places, aud We may yet emerge from the
gloom and darkness which now hang like
an incubus over our once prosperous and

Military Exemptions.

The Republican of last week says that
certain parties were exempted from doing
Militia service. by the enrolling commits
sioners. who exhibited not the least phys
ical appearance of being entitled to such
exemption and that lew we're refused
certificates Of exemption when they should
properly have had them.' and that some
were exempted for no apparent reason.'--
1t will be recollected that one of the edit
ors Of the Republican was the chief Com
missioner, that the board was composed of
men Of his own choosing. and that all were
Republicans, with but one exception. Now
we presume that the members of the board
are entirely willing for Mr.. Mattingly thus
unblushingly to confess his own violations
Of the law, and his official instructions. but
are they willing that he shodld thus infer
entiaIly charge them with perjuring them
selves. because they knew that a drivel-
ing coward WAS worse than a cripple ia bat
tle.' and that some towards would tot up
f,r examination without sufficient cause?'
If the members of the board remain silent
under the charge thus made against them
by the Republican. the people will know
what estimate to place upon them here
after.

The Result,

Every man who votes the Republican
ticket this fall. practically votes for the
election of U. s. Senator of the Trumbull
Chandler and Greedy abolition stripe; in
favor of buying negro slaves. and paying
for them out Of the U. s. Treasury; in IA
vor Of arming the negroes to fight our bat
ties, and create a servile instruction 10
the slave States, in favcr Of setting slaves
free and bringing them into competition
with the free laboring white man Of the
North, in favor of endorsing the radical
legislation Of the last Congress, and in ia
vor of the destruction of all The safeguards
of the Constitution which are thrown
around the sonal rights and liberties OF
the American citizen.

done. let them by all means vote for Col

them vote for Turpie. Corbin end Pack

A3 Cent Argument by a 3 Cent
pOlit ieian

Mr.. Colfax labOrs TO convince the peo-
pie that the Sl.OOO.OOO appropriation by
Congress to pay for slaves in the District
of Columbia will cost the people just cents
each, and is therefore very small matter.
We reproduce the following from the Dem
ocratic Pharos in reply to the cent argu.
ment. and ask our readers to give it care.
fu! perusal.
Mr.. Colfax winds mp his feeble defence
Of violated pledges by saying that the alb
clifton Of slavery in the District OF Co.
lumbia twill cost three cents each 70 every
one Of the American people" The money
value of the tax appears to be his test of
principle. He is of the Greeley school
who coolly counted the value of the Union
in dollars. What else could be expected
from Mr.. Cclfax-after his deliberate vio-
lation Of solemn pledge, striking at a
great principle of popular right underlying
our free inslitutions-thana computation
of the cost in money to the people Of vi
ola:ion Of his word and their rights, as he
would chatter with vegetable peddler or
a butcher for his dinner? Oh, says Colfax,
it don't cost much! That was Just the ex-
preston of King George Sd when he at
tempted to rob the people of the Colonies
of their rights on the preteuce that it was
only a three cent tax he wished to levy up
on the people. The patriots Of the Rev
olution know that the three cents (thongh
small il submitted to by them was but
the entering wedge to a system of taxation
which to-day is crushing the people of
England--and Colfax' three cent tar to buy
negroes in the District Of Columbia --un

DOdging the Issue.

The Republican seeks to turn aside the
attention Of the people from the real issues
before them. by directing the public mind
to tho doings of the Republican board Of
enrolling commissioners of this County.
1t even makes some feeble attempts at wit
and i'll 80 doing inadvertently charges the
board with gross carelessness. or wilfull
perjury. Will the Republican tell its read
ers why it SO persistently refuses to in
form them whether it adopts the views OF
the President as contained in his letter to
Horace Greedy?
Is the Republican in favor Of ending the
war until slavery is abolished? And is it
in favor ofhaving Mr.. Lincoln issue proc.
lamation freeing the slaves across the Dor
der, and if so will it be kind enough to in
form its readers how that would benefit
the cause of the Union? Does the Repu5
lican desire the restoration Of the Union or
is it in favor of reconstructing it on the
principles advocated by Garrison, Phillips,
Greedy and Colfax? Is il in favor Of tax
ing loya' white men for the purpose OF
paying for negro slaves? Come out neigh
Dor and let the public know where you do
really stand.

Putin. Down the Rebellion

While We believe that the legitimate
power Of the Government ought to be sus
tanned in putting Down the rebellion, aad
the Administration supplied with ali the
means necessary for that purpose. at the
same time we submit the following ques-
tiens for the consideration Ct our rea
ders:
What are the legitimate and appropriate
means to put down this rebellion, and what
are not?
Was it necessary to put down this REBEL
ion to abolish slavery in the d strict OF
Columbia?
Is it necessary to put down this REBEL
ion to tax the people Of the whole Union 10
pay for the slaves that States may see prop
er to emancipaie?
Is it necessary to put down this rebell-
ion TO get up negro schools and support
them at the Government expense?
Is it necessary TO put down the REBEL
ion to burden the treasury with millions
to support runaway slaves?
Is general confscation consistent with
humanity, If il were constitutional?
IL it necessary tina. the whole North
shall be afflictedwith the curse Of free ne
groism TO put down the rebellion?
Is it necessary to overthrown the old
Union. wipe out the Constitution and make
new one, to put down the rebellion?
