A JaeksonIan Democrat.

We had q talk, day or two ago, with 4
an old Democrat Of this county, who /
claims that he has never scratched the /
ticket and has always been Democrat
Now he avows himself for Lincoln and
Johnson. lie says he didn't vote for
Mr.. Lincoln in 1860, but intends to do
40 this time. sure. he has come to This
conclusion because he believes that Ar'
Lincoln is All honest, well-mesning man,
aud is sincerely and earnestly trying,
with single-hearted devotednessr to save
the Union aud preserve the Constitution
from destruction.
Our venerable friend says he is heerti-
1 " sick Of the course Of the Times and
such papers. He says be has read the
Times since its establishment and while
the paper has been filed with denuncin-
ton of the authorities, with ISLANDERS Of
the soldiers, with attempts to depre ciaie
the ereenbacks, and with "aid aud com
fort for the rebels, be has never setn
one word Of denuneiation Of JEFF. Davla,
of real encouragement for our soldiers,
of doubt as to the par value Of CoRiedT
crate script, or Of aid and comfort for
the Government Of the United States IN
the mighty attempt it is making to pre-
serve our free institutions
The old man said, with emotion, u

erat-a hickory jackson Democrat
a Democrat who intends to sustain this
war till the rebellion is crushed Then"
says he, when that time comes. ana il
Is proper for party divisions to take place
expect TO belong again to the Demo
cratic party. Till that time comes-as
long as the war lssts-there should be
no party divisions, and will be fosud on
the side Of my country"
This is the way patriot talks. How
different from the talk of scheming
partizan who cares only for the loaves |
and fishes.

to try an experiment He SAYS the
