u
Iindighau, the Extied Patriot.
Every one OF the ten thousand Democrats,
who read the Hillsboro Gazette, will be graf
flied with the perusal Of anything that may
come from the lips, or from the pen OF that
patriotic statesman whom the Democracy oi
Ohio have selected as their standard bearer
in the present contest; and we feel quite
snre that they will be deligted with reading
I the following letter, fresh from his hand. to
highly respectable (. gentleman OF this
place, who has kindly consented that we
Shall make the same public, through the coll
umns ofthe Gazette. 1t is as follows:
WINDSOR, c. W., Sept. SO.
My DEAR SiB: received your letter to-
day and thank you for il.
am watching the progress OF the Ohio
campaign, OF course, with deep interest, and
am gratified beyond me asnre to see the no
BILE struggle which the people are making to
recover their lost liberties. And | need not
say that am still more rejoiced, il possible
to observe the daily accumulating indications
of success. One lesson among many others
triumph at the election will teach all men
how little confidence politi ians have in The
intelligence and virtue OF the people, and
yet how much they deserve, and how great
| the power Of the people is, when they are
determined TO put 1t forth. public men
would always do what they believed to be
rIght, and do it courageosIy, they would al
ways have the support OF the people In the
end. For all such the might and majesty o.
the "sober second thought" is high tower
and sure rock Of defense.
! While our friends are making so gallant a
defense for constitutional liberty and the ~
nion as it was" the enemy OF course are CO.
ing the best they can But no wonder that
at their meetings, the numbers are small and
the enthusiasm sill less. "Shcddy," and
Shoddys wife and daughters are, Of course
always there and very much enIhused. But
| debt, taxation, speculation, and despotism,
are no Scalculated to call out the people, or
to make them very enthusiastic. No won
der the county committees are not able "to
give notice to the surrounding country in
time to get out such a meeting as was ex
peeted.
Among other things, notice that the Alb
clifton State committee have assigned TO that
dirty dog, John Sherman the part Of abusing
me in the canvass. Well, it is all Ti&ht!-
That is all that the fellow is fit fer. And II
| is not the first time that party to suit

other SIDE" But it is so,ue credit at least
TO the Abolition party, that his macting'
seem all to be as contemplate IN numbers
as his speeches and himself are in charac

see, too, that Charles Anderson is al
ambitious as a "rouuteer counsel" to outdC

am sure all of our friends will rejoice with
me. The Democracy in every State in th

all of them in every State.

three catons Just now. First, "The Democ

Third and lastly, The true Democracy
who met in Cincinnati the other night an

that the "War Democracy" and the "Tru
Democracy" could not "iuse" at the HaUii

to unite these factions OF the Democracy ii
support OF the ticket OF the llth Of June? :
Why not? The "Demucracy" ought to- b

port OF the first ticket nominated, would b
tair compromise. John Brough and ever
other "lie.lorg Democrat" do not doub
would agree to 1t, if they would but reticc
upon it and then have the courage to act ic

forts, therefore, to induce Brough to declin

But go on with the good work, and Il

My kind regards toall friends
