Hughes as exception, and SAID that if his God
would pardon him for voting for that dirty scoun-
drel, that damnably corrupt and cOntemptuously
inconsistent turn coat, (Jim Hughes,) he would
promise before all men never to commit an
other crime so great Democrats had not for
gotten the speeches of Jim Hughes four years
ago. 1t his opinion the poor renegade
had done the party favor, and hoped that he
(Jim Hughes) might only prove to be as great
curse to the Black Republicans as he had been
TO Hughes had now sold himself to those
whom he used to call abolition disunionists" for
$1,000 a year, and this indeed big price,
for he not worth the fourth part of it. Be-
cause of such deserti0ns from our ranks, Demo-
Gratis ought not to be discouraged. Let them
rally under their old banner, which had always
been the banner of the Constitution and
the symbol of perpetual union, and the DemOc-
racy of Indiana would achieve glorious victory
in October.
