Remember that Judge Law, while In |
Congress, voted against. increasing the
pay of soldiers, and for increasing the |
pay of officers; that he voted against
abolishing the franking privilege and |
mileage of members of Congress who |
receive three thousand dollars per year;
against inquiring into the REASONABLE
conduct of member of Congress or pre-
scribing the oath of allegiance to officers
of the Government, and against all meas
ures to hurt the rebels, or wound their
feelings; showing conclusively that he is
neither a Democrat, or friend of his
i country.
Remember that Alvah johnson, the
opponent of Judge Law for Congress, is
now, and always has been, consistent
Democrat, loyal to the Union and true
to the best interests of his country, but
like all true Democrats, he is opposed to
the reorganization of the old DAmo-
cratic party, on any other than Ma
tiozdL basis.
Remember that Jesse D. Bright, who
recommended to jeff Davis patent for
improved fire arms" with which to kill
our brave soldiers in the field, was the
"power behind the throne in the Sth of
January Convention; and that he pub
licly endorsed its proceedings and plat
form in the last speech he ever made in
the United States Senate; in which
speech he opposed the coercion of the
South, and announced that it was his in
tention, upon being expelled from the
Senate, to take an appeal to the State of
Indiana, and submit to no other tribunal.
Remember that Jesse D. Bright will
be a candidate for the United States
Senate before the next legislature of the
State of Indiana, and that the 8th Of
January candidates for the Legislature,
if elected, will vote for him without prob
ably single exception.
Remember that the 8th of January
candidates for Senator and Joint Repre-
sentative from Posey and Vanderburgh
counties, and for Representative from
Vanderburgh county, have announced
themselves as Unconditional Union
Candidates, and not as Democratic,
Republican, or any other party candi-
dates, thereby ignoring, if not repudiat-
ing, the ticket upon which they expect
to succeed, and showing that they are
afraid the people will not endorse the
partisan ticket upon which they are run
ming
Remember that the Posey county con-
vention, which met at New Harmony on
the Goth of July last, in its platform con-
demned the present mode of taxation,
which is the law of the land and is the
only means of raising money to carry on
the war, and that it otherwise emulated
the 8th-of-January convention, in its in
discriminate abuse and misrepresenta-
ton Of the administration, and Of all per per
ical leaders in their ultra and partisan
notions
Remember that at the adjourned meet
ing of the New Harmony convention,
which met at Wadesville in Posey coun-
ty, on the last Saturday in August, a
county ticket was nominated, composed
entirely of men who voted for Breckin-
ridge for President, and nearly all of
whom voted against the democratic NOM
inees two years ago.
Remember that the nominees of the
Wadesville convention, by their accept
ance of that nomination, not only endors-
ed the platform of that convention,
which endorsed Judge Laws course in
Congress, but also the platform of the
New Harmony convention, of which the
Vaudeville convention was only an, ad-
journed meeting.
Remember that the county candidates
opposed to the Wadesville nominees, are
all tried and true democrats; and the
pamphlets being circulated, and the
speeches made by those nominees and
bogus democrats denouncing the republi-
can party as all abolitionists, fall harm
less at their feet
Remember that while the Sth- ofJanu-
airy and improyed-6re-arms democra-
cy are denouncing not only Republic
cans, but men who are better democrats
than they are, as abolitionists, they, as
well as all others living north of Mason
Il Dixon's line, are denounced by their
"Southren Brethren as abolitionists
also.
Remember that the democratic masses
in the north, while they may differ with
the President as to the policy of certain
measures, yet they look upon him as the
constitutionally elected President of the
United States and theywill aid and sup
port him all they can in his effort to
crush out this wicked rebellion and will
discriminate and condemn at the ballot
box, all efforts to array political party
against the administration and the war,
which would tend to weaken the power of
