The Democrats. at the Convention
which nominated Turpie for Congress. un.
dertook to draft a series of resolutions
The first one denounces Colfax ss q SUD-
porter of abolition schemes in Congress.
The second ore says Colfax has received
twenty or thirty Thousand dollars from
the National Treasury. and has never yet
originated an important measure or secur-
ed benefit for the District, unless it is the
circulation Of garden seeds; that he indors-
es the frauds committed under Fremont's
military administration: that he shows
more regard for the negro than the white
man. Dave Turpie said. II accept the
nomination on the principles adopted" in
the above platform. Poor soul! what
an extensive platform for q candidate for
Congress to stand upon, and he a notori-
Gus drunken one at that. What display
of the wisdom Of the Democracy Of the 9th
Congressional District. Next to the
emancipation Of the niger they see nor
think Of any thing so formidable as the
election of Co.fax. Republican and DEM
ocrats alike acknowledge Colfax to be one
of the hardest working. most efficient and
able members in the House. The boobies
ought to know that Colfax legislates for
the United States and not for the 9th Con-
gressional District. Any person who
makes the mendacious charge against Col
fax of indorsing the frauds practiced by
Democratic McKinstry. while in the en-
ploy of the Government. in Fremont's de-
partment. is guilty Of giving publicity to
wilful and malicious falsehoods; as it is
well known that Colfax denounced with
great bitterness, in Congress, all such
frauds as were committed in that Depart
ment. The stories about Colfax legisla-
ting for the negro to the prejudice of the
rights of the white man. is nothing but po-
litical bslderdash finding uttersncc in the
mouths Of none but fools and pro-slave-
~ Democrats. Colfax has given in the
last Is months more than thousand dol.

The L,gansport Pharos says that in
1852 Colfax pledged hi nself. if elected to
Congress, to oppose oil emancipation
schemes. His opponent, Fitch. pledged
himself about the same time to introduce
bill for the emancipation Of Slavery in the
District o. Columbia, unless some older
member would do it; and about the same
time the Democratic Legislature Of Indi-
ana passed series Of res olutions rcques-
ting their representatives in Congress to

We have been asked several times as to

liability to do militia duty to another man.
and remains exactly IS If he had not been
drafted at all. It is true he has to pay for
his release. but the Government gets no
benefit from the money. II goes into the

Of it is willing to take the others chance
Of being shot or captured. The transac-
ton is as entirely personal and private as
if il were the purchase Of horse. The
Government wants man. and one man is
the same to it as another if he is fit for
military duty. Now, what claim to ex-
smption has the man who Is FIRST drafted

Fairbanks have set in this city in a little

perfect is the machinery, that each scale
may be loaded and unloaded in ten or
twelve minutes, which gives some idea of
the enormous amount of grain which may
be weighed upon them all in single day.

castle. but e: i; no wise eloquent. In fact.
though Mr.. Turpie may possess the ability
his friends claim for him. he failed to sus-
tain his reputation on that occasion. Mr..
Turpie declared that the Republican party
were not abolitionists: and that neither
that party nor the present Administration
are responsible for the preseb. war. He
laid the whole responsibility of the var on
southern secessionists. and declared that all
union men should Internationally support
the Naturalization in its Efforts to crush
out The rebellion. He expressed himself in
favor Of the emancipation Of slavery. but
would not be willing to pay anything for
the slaves; in other words be acknowl
edged himself in favor of the general abo-
lition Of slavery without regard to the re-
quirements of the Constitution.

Mr.. Turpie spoke desisively of our ro-
cognition of Hayti. but failed to inform his
friends that such recognition had existed
for long time o, the part OF the most
powerful European governments. and that
il had been delayed or our part simply fol

tastes of southern slave owners. sris
Mr.. Turpie's audience was quite small
notwithstanding the great exsrtions which
had been made by the Democrats Of the
County to get out large attendance-not

He utterly failed to discuss any of the lead

The Plymouth Democrat contains long
article in its last issue on the subject of SOL
dier's bounty in this County. part of
which we emphatically endorse. But
while we regret that the appropriation. as
made by the Commissioners, will not give
general satisfaction, we entirely fail to dis
cover on what grounds the Democrat seeks
to censure the parties for the purpose of
making party capital out Of the matter
It seeks by innuendo to charge Mr.. Fuller
with having acted dishonorably in the mat
ter. The Democrat is certainly not ignor-
ant of the fact that Mr.. Fuller's acts are
confined to the authority given him by the
County Commissioners. He has no pow
or to make appropriations further than is
provided for in the euactments of the Com
missioners; therefore no blame can be
fairly laid on his shoulders.
The Democrat reflects on the Commits
sioners for not making their appropriation
extend to parties volunteering after the
18th ult. Is the Democrat not aware Of
the fact that at the time the appropriation
was made the War Department had issued
an order Jor5idding enlisfments otter that
date The Commissioners had no idea
that the time for volunteering would be ex-
tended. and consequently acted in the very
best of faith in the matter.
We regret that the Commissioners did
not take broaler view of the matter. and
provide for exigencies that might arise in
the future. But still, no candid and rea-
sonable man. while he may not feel dis
posed to approve the action of the Com
missioners. can possibly find any grounds
on which to censure them. or any other per-
SON connected with the transaction. The
Democrat should not forget that its party
friends were opposed to making any ap-
preparation whatever for the benefit Of SOL
diers or their families. but wanted; to con-
fine the whole matter to volunteer sub
scription. in which case no fund worth
mentioning would have been raised. Did
not subscription list of that kind circu-
late in 1861? Did any Democrat sign it!
Has the merits of the war materially chang
ed in the last year? Is it less abolition
and more pro slavery now than then? =
The Democrats insinuation that the SOL
diers disbanded simply because they could
not get the e25 is great injustice done to
patriotic and brave hearted men. They
did not understand the matter fully and
thought they we're being imposed upon;

Eg Every Democratic Convention that
has been held recently, so far as our obser-
walton extends, has passed resolutions
aversing that the only hope of restoration
of tho Union depends upon placing the
Democratic party in power. This as
sumption on their part is very much like a
threat. whether it is SO intended or not.
that they will never consent to a restora-
ton of the Union or live peaceably in it
until the power to administer the govern
ment is placed in their hands. They for
get that this is government of the people
and not of party; and we mistake the in
dependence Of the people If they will not
teach the leaders of that party that the ma
jority shall rule. During the last canvass
for President, they threatened dissolution
of the Union, il Abraham Lincoln was
elected; but their threats were in vain.-
The people were willing to accept the al
tentative. Will they now meekly bow the
knee to the leaders of that party and ask
them to forgive their rashness. and ask
them to take the government in their own
hands. that wemay have peace?. No. new
