Another Dirty Dog,

The exposition we made in our last Of
the lies and reasonable utterances of the
dirty dog who gets mp the plymouth
Items" for that low. disgusting organ OF
jeff Davis, the LaPorte Democrat, has
stirred the wrath of the irascible cur, slut
tering Platte Mcdonald, who edits the
filthy concern, and accordingly. in his last
Saturdays issue he assails us as none but
a low BLACKBOARD and traitor could. Ac-
customed as he has been for the last three
and half years of emitting the filth which
his glands secrete in natural way. at ev-
cry good and loyal man in the country, he
is of course an adept at blackgnardi>m
and would readily pass muster in any of
The dens Of iniamy and vice at Five Points,
n. Y. or in any other city. These inst
tutions being the nurseries Of Democrats,
it is fair to presume from his familiarity
with the terms most employed by their
pupils that he is q graduate OF one of them.
and probably has had degrees conferred on
him by all of them, besides being elected
an honorary member of their literary So
cieties. II not, it is because the faculty Of
those Democratic institutions and. mem
bers of the societies referred to are igno-
rant Of his qualifications. If they would
confer on him the degrees OF d. d., (dirty
dog. and e. L.. (great liar. but few
would dispute their appropriateness.
Platte and the writer Of the plymouth
Items" Shanghai DAN. are brothers.
which accounts for the ferocity with which
the former barks at us. Are they not a
pair of dirty dogs? The former is owned
by John G. Walker and the latter by A.
L. Wheeler. They were purchased to
perform the dirty work of theii masters,
and they have demonstrated that the pur-
chasers were we'll acquainted with their
qualifications. The only drawback to
Platte is that be is lazy cuss; so lazy is
he that he will net perform a particle of
labor, either in his office or out of doors,
so long as he has dime to hire it done.
This was the real cause of his "tlatting-
out" so completely here, and compelled to
sell out. His laziness was so notorious
that parents were frequently heard to tell
their children when they failed to perform
siints. or became weary in the prosecution
of their studies, that they were as lazy as
Platte Med Justice, however. CON-
pels us to say that if common report may
be relied on, Platte came by this trait
h onestly.

Common Pleas Judge and Prosecutor

Of power in this, Of course. Formerly it
was thought due to the people to give
them an opportunity to select their candi-

the Copperhead Central Committees Of
this District either think they are incapa-
BILE of making a proper selection. or pro-
pose saving them the trouble and expense
We suppose they thought in this case there
was such slim prospect Of the election OF
their candidates that there vas little dan

are John &. Osborne. Esq, Of this place.
and G. L. Bettinger. Esq, of Elkhart.--
How many more offices are the Cops 60

region qualified to fill office? Or do they
nominate him because he can bear defeat

Mr.. Colfax's Speech.

NJ. Colfax spoke at this place on We'd
nesday last to an immense audience. We
have neither time nor room to give even q
brief abstract Of his remarks. Suffice it to
say he was listened to by the large audience
without the least abatement Of interest
from first to last, for two and half hours.
10 say that his speech gave eminent salts
faction to his Union friends as we'll as ma
ny patriotic Democrats who were in atten-
lance and who listened to all he said with
wrapt attention, conveys but feeble idea
OF the fact. The triumphant manner in
which he vinlicated the Administration
and his own acts, together with the dam
sg:ng exposition he made of the position
and policy of the opposition party. excl
ted the most intense enthusiasm. AT the
close he was greeted with three rousing
cheers.
He was followed by George Frasier,
Esq. of Warsaw. in few appropriate
and Logical remarks.
The Warsaw Brass Band and the Union
Glee Clnb of this place, composed of a
dozen or more patriotic young ladies' and
gentlemen. gave additional zest and inter-
est to the occasion by their performances.
At night Judge James S. Frazer, Of
Warsaw. made very able sTeech at
Woodward Hall. to large audience
On his occasion also the Brass Band and
Glee Club delighted all present with their
fine artistic music.

0opperhead Military Organizations.


A INV Copperheads of this township
met at the Court House in this place on
Friday afternoon last, and after considera-
BILE time spent in trying to convince the
few present that there was great danger Of
their being driven away from tho polls by
earned Leaguers" and mercenary soldiers.
succeeded in inducing forty or fifty to en-
roll their names for the purpose of organ
izing military company for self protec-
ton. A. G. Caprcn first addressed the
squad. He said, among other things. that
the object of the organization was self
protection against armed Union Leaguers
and unconstitutional usurpations of Abo-
liiionists generally. He asserted that the
10th section Of the bylaws Of the U. L. A.
required every member to be armed with
musket, rifle or revolver, and have plen-
ty Of ammunition. After indulging in o
TRADE OF the most bitter abuse against this
abolition Administration. and declar-
ing that they would have "free ballots or
free bullets" he announced d. o. Quivey
as 81 Lieut.. and Recruiting Officer; the
company to be organised and governed like
all other military companies. Those who
had signed the enrolment were then no.
titled to be on hand on Saturday next at
3 p. m, in order to complete the organi
cation and receive further instructions.
c. Ii. Reeve, at some stage Of the pro-
ceeding. made a short but characteristic
speech--all wind and braggadocia. A
mong other things he said: Governor
Morton's friends could find out the object
of their organization by running against
them, and invited any that were present
who felt like it to try it," He also stated
that there were 1000 Democrats in this
county and 60 900 in the State organized
and ready for any emergency.
The following are the names of some Of
those who signed the muster roll:
G. III. Reeve, 7. j. Patterson,
A. c. Capron. j. V Bailey,
A. G. Thompson, Budd Reeve.

Similar meetings. we understand. were
held on Friday and Saturday in the fol-
lowing out townships: North. Polk. Union,
Green, Walnut ant German. but in the
two latter no organizations were effected,
for some reason. We have no report from
West or Tippecanoe townships. In Bour.
bon township. we are informed. no public
attemp. was made to organise company.

Tho Coppeihesd National Convention
met at Chicago on Monday and organized
temporarily by placing Hon. VIM. BigIer
of Pennsylvania in the Chair, and ap-
pointing several gentlemen to act as Sec
retaries. The day was consumed in ap-
pointing committees on permanent organi-
cation, credentials. platform. &c, and in
debate. On Tuesday the committee on
permanent organization reported, recon-
mending Horatio Seymour, Of New York,
for President. a score or so of names for
Vice Presidents and nearly as many for
Secretaries. The report was concurred in
and Governor Seymour took the Chair
In the afternoon the committee on plat.
form reported. 1t family advocates an
effort for peace, by means of a cessation

able means, to the end that at the earliest
practical moment, peace may be res
tored on the basis of the Federal States;
and as family indicates determinati, IN to
preserve the Union. The policy men are
largely in the majority in the Convention,
and although the radical peace men have
raved, stormed and protested against the
nomination of Mcclellan, it has been evil
dent for several days that he would be the
nominee. Who the nominee for Vice
President may be it is impossible to say.
We predict that it will be some radical
peace man, in order to pacify that faction.
Since the above was in type a report
reaches us that dispatch has been receiv-
ell stating that Mcclellan is the nominee
1t falls like wet blanket upon the radical
peace men here. So far a. we are con-
cerned, if Nice lellan, remains true to his
past record, we would almost as soon see
him in the Presidential chair as Old Abe.
But being in bad company we feel little
npprehensive of him; still. we cannot de-

count of the Union, since it became certain
that he would be the nominee Of the Chi

AS specimen Of the wav a traitor to
his country can lie. we extract the follow
ing from the last L,Porte Democrat, writ
ten by its correspondent at this place:
"'rhe League is military organization
designed to strengthen the Government
at home by taking care Of the Copperheads.
see that they do nothing contrary to the
Administration, &c. This is done by bav-
ing regular force Of spies and informers
whose business it is to watch and report
the actions and words of every prominent
Democrat in their jurisdiction. This is
very naughty in the Leaguers. isn't it?
But here's the where the lie comes in. l.
Whenever the League in any township
numbers Ga men they are reported to he d
quarters. They are then regularly enroll.
ell in the service. grns and ammunition are
furnished them for a full company, and
they are then exempt from the draft. This
is no guess work. 1t comes from more
than one member of the League"
Now. what is the object of this lie?-
Simply to induce the Copperheads to or
ganize themselves into military compa-
MES and arm themselves. and when that is
accomplished, resist the draft. and drive
Union men from the polls. Still another
object is. to be prepared to precipitate an
here in the North, for the ben.
eff Of :heir Southern allies, in case they
fail to elect their candidate for President.
But their statements in regard to the
League conflict slightly. Mr.. A. G. Ca
prom stated in speech at the Court House
on Fridry last, to those who had met to
a military company. that the
10Th section of the bylaws of the Union
League requires every member to arm him
self with musket, rifle or revolver, and
have plenty of ammunition on hand. He
forgot to state that when they done this
they would be exempt from the draft.
Now which Of these gentlemen lied?--
1t is our private opinion, publicly express
,d. that both did. Mr.. Capron says the
members OF the Union League are required
By their bylaws to arm themselves and
furnish their own ammunition. Whang-
doodle Shanghai, or W whatever his name
nav be, who writes for the jeff Davis or
gan at LaPorte, says: Whenever League
in any township numbers 81 men they are
reported to head quarters. They are then
regularly enrolled into the service. guns
and ammunition are furnished them for
full company" DC. We suggest to these
friends of jeff Davis that that if they can
not lie without contradicting each other
they bad better quit.
Wbangdoodlo Shanghai goes on to say
in connection with the above extract:
"If this is satisfactory to the Democra-
to those who are subject to
The draft am much mistaken; and if
hey quietly submit to this outrage, they
will be undeserving the name they bear

property In The Loyal States during the
last ten years was over 126 per cent, or an
average of 2010 per cent. per snnum.
In three years of the war we of the United
States have certainly earned 5000 millions
more than we have spent apart from the
war. The cost of the war may be set
down at 2J00 millions. Deducting this
from our net earnings, the People who are
security for this loan are 1000 millions
richer to-day than they were when the war
broke out.
No other investment can be so easily
convertible. The man who has Treasury
note for $50. or 500, or $1,000. can turn
it into money more readily. and upon
better terms, than il it were invested upon
bond and mortgage. or in railroad stocks.
The interest offered is higher than can
be realized from any other safe and
convertible investment. It's, moreover.
readily collectable when due. To each
note are affixed five coupons, or
interest tickets. due at the expiration Of
each successive half-year. The holder OF
a note has simply to cut off one of these
coupons, present it at tie nearest hank or
Government Agency. and receive his
interest; the note itself need not be
represented at all. Or coupon thus
payable will everywhere be equivalent,
when due. to money.
Thus. while this loan presents great
advantages to large capitalists, it offers
special inducements to those who wish to
make safe and profitable investment OF
small saving. 1t is in every way the best
Savings Bank; for every institution OF
this kind must somehow invest Its
deposits pro6tably in order to pay interest
and expenses. They will invest largely
in this loan, as the best investment. But
from the gross interest which they receive
they must deduct largely for the expenses
allowed to depositors is per cent. upon
sums over $50. The person who invests
directly with Government will receive
almost so per cent. more. Thus the man
who deposits $1,000 in private Savings
Bank receives so dollars q year interest; il
h. deposits the same sum in thi. National
Savings Bank he receives 10 dollars

presents so many advantages as the Ma
Iional Loan.
1t is convertible into a six per cent.
gold bearing bond. AT the expiration Of
three years a holder OF the notes of the
I 80 loan has the option of accepting
payment in full or of funding his notes in
six per cent. gold interest bond. the
principal payable IN not less Than hve
nor more than twenty years from its date
as the Government may elect. For six
months past, these bonds have ranged at
an average premium Of about eight per
cent. in the New York market, and have
sold at 1O9 to-day Aug. 12th). thus
making the real rate of interest over ten
per cent; and besides, to make the
inducement even greater. Congress by
special act exempts its Treasury notes
from state and municipal taxation. Could
