PUBLIC NOTICE.

In November, 1862, Ed J. J. Cooper,
Of Warsaw. Indiana, and the undersigned,
held public discussion at the town of
Akron, Fulton County, Indiana, on two
propositions, as follows, to-wit:
LIST. "Do the Scriptures teach that man
dies and is conscious, between death and
the resurrection?
J. j. Cooper affirming, and Richard
Corbaley denying.
I'd. ''Do the Scriptures teach that the
wicked will be destroyed in the sense Of
Annihilation, or utter extinction of their
being, Immediately after the resurrection"
J. J. Cooper affirming, and Richard
Corbaley denying.
On the second Sunday in September
last, the said j. j. Cooper, in the presence
of large concourse of people, at the "Mil-
Ter School-house, some three miles south
east of Plymouth, publicly challenged me
to again discuss the above propositions
with him, on condition that / should fur
nish house, and debate with him in this
vicinity. He-knowing l was not present
when the challenge was given-requested
my friends to give me notice, which I re-
ceived in due time, and on the Tuesday fol-
lowing l wrote letter Of acceptance, cop
led and signed the propositions and sent
them to him.
He informed me on the Friday follow
ing, at Plymouth, that the letter and prop
ositions had been received, and that he
would answer in few days.
| waited from that time until the 7th
of October, and receiving no response, ]
again wrote him, inquiring why he had not
written, also telling him if he did not ans
wer the interrogatorics contained in that
letter within a reasonable time, should
publish him.
And now, up to this 23d day of Novcm
Der, 1868, have not received any response
to either Of the letters neither has he re
turned the propositions For the satisfac
ton of those who were present when ED
Cooper gave the challenge, will say that
in my letter of the 18th Of September last
notified him of my willingness to agair
meet him in The discussion Of the aforesaid
questions, and also that meeting house
was at our service, and that | would take
the responsibility Of furnishing house
In conclusion now ask: Why has not Ed
J. J. Cooper done what he publicly state
he would? RICHARD CORBALEY

Principle versus ExpedienCy.

A couple of weeks ago the NJ. c. Repub-
lican, in IN article under the head of
Allowance to Soldiers wives used the
following language
we arc not only ! favor of paying
the wives of those VIII, ay hereafter enlist
SIS per month and 50 additional for each
child under twelve years of age, hut to all
who have voun tccred since the war com
menced.
Petitions asking for an appropriation,
or adoption of an order for this purpose,
should be circulated in every neighbor-
hood In the county for signatures previous
the next session of the Board
The Republican thinks a tax of % or
3D Giants on the 800 wou ii be enough to
raise sufficient sum for that purpose, and
is also in favor Of paying an equal amount
to all whether they actually need 1t or
not" and says: NO loyal man will object
10 paving his quota of this amount"
1t is we'll for US sometimes before doing
things to ask ourselves why We propose to
do them. In this case if we ask why shoe
the Board Of Commissioners make such
an allowance, the answer must be either
that the families of the soldiers are poor
and need it, or that they are entitled % il
as payment for services rendered by their
husbands and fathers in tie army.
Now, if the allowance is claimed as &
charity, We think those only who need il
ought to be entitled to it,-if it is claimed
in payment for services rendered, then the
single men in the q my are as much entitled
10 the extra IS or so month as the mar
rie1 ones
We are in favor of making liberal allow
ances for all those VINO are in destitut,
circumstances, because that is right, anC
because it is in accordance with the law
but we do not believe it is right nor il
accordance with the law for the Board tC
appropriate money to persons indiscrlmi
nately whether they need it or not, simply
because their friends are serving in the
army.

THOSE abolitionists and abolition ,car-
mails says the Chicago Times, who have be-
held in the results of the recent elections
the death of the democratic party will
find cud to chew in the subjoined refer
ence By republican newspaper to this
very question. Says the Springfield
Mass Rspublican:
"There is general jubilation in the re-
publican papers over the assumed death
o. the democratic party. They had better
not take that for granted. A party that
has just thrown more votes than ever be.
fore in every State except Massachusetts,
and that too, under the load of sach often
sive leaders as Vallandigham, the Woods
and Seymours, and has been beaten only
by the most extraordinary efforts, can
hardly be considered quite dead. =
The moral of the political situation for the
republican leaders is, that they have no
such excess Of strength as to make it safe
for them to be reckless or defiant as to
means and measures; that they are still on
trial before the American people as to
their ability and integrity in the conduct
Of the government; and that they can only
hope to obtain a renewed lease of power by
demonstrating that they can and will use
it for the general welfare, rather than for
private and partisan ends"
The comments on this paragraph by an
other paper-not prolesscdly democratic,
but certainly conservative-may we'll be
taken to heart, says the Boston Cour-
ier:
The efforts which defeated the demo
cratic party are well characterized by our
contemporary as extraordinary. They were
So and more than so,-they were unpar-
alleled in the history of the country. and

be assured. AS We have recently stated

been cast in the States which own the ju

Democratic State Convention
Action Of the Democratic state
Central Committee.


tee met yesterday The meeting was fully
attended, and after free interchange of
views and consultation with prominent
members of the party from all sections Of
the State, it was unanimously resolved by
the Committee to hold State Nominating
Convention Immediately after the meeting
OF the next Democratic National Conven-
ton. 1t is supposed that the latter body
will be assembled in May next, or early in
June. a resolution was adopted by the
Committee, requesting the Democratic
National Committee to call a National
Democratic Convention at as early a
dayas practicable-not later than May
Or June.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted, providing for the selec-
ton of delegates to the Democratic Nation
al Convention:
Resolved That this Committee respect
fully and earnestly recommend the Demo-
Gratis in the several Congressional Districts
ofthc State of Indiana to meet in their
respective Districts on the 9Th day Of JAN
uary. 1864, or as soon thereafter as may be
convenient, for the purpose of appointing
in each two delegates and two alternates to
the National Democratic Convention.
1t is hoped that this recommendation Of
the Committee viii meet with the concur
renee and response Of the Democracy ofthe
| Congressional Districts, and that the day
made memorable in the history of the ma
ton by the Hero Of New Orleans viii be
thus commemorated by those who respect
his patriotism, his unselish devotion to
the Union, his gallant services in behalf
of his country and the political principles
he SO earnestly maintained as necessary to
the perpetuation &C free constitutional
government.
The Committee appointed an Executive
Board, consisting of five members, viz;
Mes rs j j. Bingham, J. S. Athon
Aquilla Jones, r. Ii. Hall and James B
Ryan, to aid in Develop a more efficient
organization Of the Democratic party Of
Indiana and in the Iii. semination Of sound
political principles.
The Committee ad jOurned to meet on The
22d day of February next-Sate, Sentinel
1t will be seen by the above that we are
to have no State Convention on the Stl
of January next Whether the action OF
the State Central Committee was wise o.
not, is not now a question for discussion
''the time for argument has gone by" the
Committee have decided. The question
now is, where shall the Convention for thi
Congressional District be held? We sup
pose that Plymouth will be as central, anC
convenient point at which to hold it a.
any ether and We should be glad to have
t 1t held here, though if the District Contra
Committee fix upon any other poin
, we viii be content Wherever it may b,
held We hope to see full attendance an,
the reelection Of delegates to the Nationa
Convention who are sound to the core
men who sill not compromise principl
= for supporting expediency, who will dar
| to beard the usurper in his palace if nee
be, even at the risk Of Lincoln Bastle
With such men for delegates we may ex
, pect a sound platform and Candi .ate
worthy to stand upon it.
