EpRMa11ELD, October z. 1853.
The Tory candidates for State, county and
United States Offices are beginning to ''peep''
at last. They have been for some length Of
time making up their minds to come to the
scratch, but have at last though it were bet
ter to make Eight chow Of valor- Hon.
James G. Allen has taken the stump In Egypt,
ard his very frat speech showed On which side
he vas. He announced that he would guar
antee peace within SIX months after his elec-
tion, that good times for Egypt would return
again, that the emancipation scheme would |
be stopped, together with the rush Of negroes
to the North, SC. Mr.. Allen up North will |
doubtless favor very constitutional mode OF
carrying On the war. Anything that tends to
wesken the enemy he will set his face against
like flint.
Hon. s. ". Moulton, Union candidate Of
10th district, has tried to snake out A. L.
Knapp, tory candidate; but Knapp cannot be
got cut Of his hole. he has AT organ at Jer-
SEVILLE, however, called the Democratic Onion,
which belches forth treason Of the most damn
able kind. The editor, one John Calhoun
| Dotelbower, evidently desires to make mar
| tyr of hfmself. He denounces the President
as bigger traitor than JEFF. Davis; tells the
| Democracy that they must themselves strike
the blow, that they are under tyranny worse
ttan that Of the Sultan of Turkey. OF course
this sheet gives cordial support to the
Tory State ticket, and to the platform mac-
ufactured at Springfield, by the Knights Of
the Golden Circle. Anthony Thornton, once
member of the old Whig party, presided at
the convention that nominated Knapp, and
adopted platform which denounces Abra-
ham Lincoln as guilty Of the highest crime of
which a man is capable. This is the same
Thornton, who affiliated with the Knights Of
the Golden Circle in the late Constitutional
Convention, and with them tried to force an
infamous constitution upon the people Of the
! State. But he, and all that took q leading
part for that Constitution, are politically Is
dead IS Julius Caesar. A. G. Burr, another of
the constitution makers receleVd his qutetus
