Capt Taylor il at homo now on few days
furlough. He addressed his oil constituents on
Saturday, the same day the Democratic party
held their Convention in Corydon, our, county
seat. Taylor told them they must drop political
chickering's, and turn out - ors. man To- save the
country; that there were but two parties q pre-.
sent, Patriots and Traitors; that be WAS sorry to
find 40 many excuses for not going; one man
must gather bis corn, another bis hay, while an.
other must attend to his wife; while others were
afraid the negroes would be used in the army.
He told them, that in respect to the last point,
they might save themselves all trouble; that
that. was question for the army, and that the
"darkies" would be used BY it, whether the peo-
pie of Wayne county liked it or not; that our
poor overyorked boys had made up their minds
to use them in loading wagona digging bitches,
and making fortifcations, as they had seen the
rebels rss them for these purposes; and to raise
the corn, wheat, &c. to feed the traitors, while
they tried 70 destroy our once great and glorious
country. He told them further, that ON bis
march from,s Rolla 10 Helena he saw only old
men, women and negroes in the fields; that all
the able,bodied men had gone with Price; while
here, he regretted to fnd that some objected 70
. draft. All he could say to them vas, that it
was we'll for the people Of Iowa that he had not
the power, for in such case he would force every
man able to carry musket into tho army. He
concluded BY telling them, 70 beware of those
who, tried to, make political capital out Of the
taxes; that now was not the time when the very
existence of the government WAS at stake, 10
count the cost; but that it wss the sdutyo Of ill
loyal men to make, every sacrifice, in order 10
pay up their taxes promptly, even if they had to
let other debts go unpaid. Jsis
Last fall, "a W. Sharp WIS 4 candidate for
the oface Of Representative before the Demo
cratic Convention in this county, and failed to
get the nomination; his father at the Same time
was, by some sharp practice, left Of the Central
Committee for the county. -,,fsa -s1 ssb
The old gentleman called . kind of hole and

self nominated as Delegate to the State Conven-
ton, and armed with certificate to that effect,
that they were the SIMON pure Democrats, but
also another, signed BY whisky seller in Cory.

Sharp sound Democrat; and on the strength
of that, to use Mr.. Sharpe own language,'I, 8.
P. Sharp, . soldier of the war of 1912, . life
long Democrat, was turned out of . Democratic
State Convention, on . certificate signed by .

indictment BY the Grand Jury, for violating the
laws of his country" :. sa Fvah 53as G 81,
Mr.. Sharp returned to Corydon in time for the
Union Convention, and bis son, A. W. Sharp,
was nominated for the same Office he failed to
get from his Democratic friends. In the can
,vass both father; and son denounced their late
friends.in language which, if not classic, was de
cidsdly strong; and 90 hard did they labor, and
so unanswerable were their arguments showing
that Mahonyism and Secessionism we're one and
the same thing that I, in common With many
others, began to think that there was more truth
than poetry in what they said. You may Judge,
Mr.. Editor, Of our surprise at finding that at
the Convention held on the same day that Capt.
Taylor spoke for his country, the Nessra Sharps
were received back again into the Democratic
fold, and are now In full communion with men,
who, for six or eight months, they have dsnoun.
csd u. dishonest; and whose platform, they have
said, WAS the very smbody yment Of Secsssionism.
Il reminds me Of that provsrb Of Solomon: "As

wallowing in the mire, 20 the fool returns to his
folly ,oa Yours, truly. ,ag WAYNE.
