The Democracy Is divided into three
parts:
First, Those who love the Union above
party, and will fight and vote to maintain it.
This portion is represented by such men. as
General Grant, General Sherman, Phil Sher-
idau, John A. Logan, John A. Dix, Dan E.
Sickles, A. J, Knykendall, John Dougherty.
Charles Walker, w. B. ,Scates, I. N. Haynie
G. Beckwith, Daniel Brainard, etc. These
gentlemen and those they represent. placing
the Union before party, will vote for the re-
election of Mr.. Lincoln. ~
Second, Those who, blindly follow party
and believe themselves Union men, while
supporting candidate nominated on plat
form designed and framed to overthrow it
These are the supporters of Mcclellan.
Third, The peace men, who would destroy
the Union in order to obtain power and the
control of the Government. They would
acknowledge the right of secession, consent
to divide the Union, or restore and extend
slavery to obtain "peace" and the spoils Of
office. These are the copperheads, and are
represented by such men as Vallandgham,
Voorhees,, Pendleton. Fernando Wood,
Isaiah Rynders. A. Belmont, George N.
Sanders and Cyrus H. Mccormick.
The two latter parts are bound together
by "the cohesive power Of the public plum
der" and work, act and vote together.
Should there be any doubling on the part
ofsincere Uuion loving Democrats as to
which portion Of their party they will act
with, in the coming electiona

We do not look for it to come off
before the lst of March-and as this
affords ample time for recruiting, we
suggest that measures be at once taken
in all the districts to furnish the re-
quired number Both classes, there is
no doubt, will be consolidated, SO that
every able-bodied man in the county
is interested. As it is a hopeless task
to endeavor to raise general bounty,
probably the best mode for accomplish
ing the matter will be to open subscrp-
tion papers with the understanding
that the sums paid shall be, in the first
place, offered as bounties to those will
ling to enlist; and if sufficient num-
Der cannot be obtained, then to divide
the amount among those subscribers
who may be drafted To illustrate
our meaning, suppose 100 men in Lew
istown subscribe $50 each this would
make $4,000 to be divided among any
SO persons willing to enlist and fill our
quota, or if the number cannot be OBJ
tanned, the whole sum would 90 to
those subscribers who would be draft
ed and not rejected on examination.
Thus, if 20 of the number should be
drawn, each would get $3.50; if but 10
each $500, &c. If the SO can be pro-
cured to enlist, the new recruit would
get $l3l60 from this fund and $500
from the government; if veteran,
his bounty would be S531.50. We
have taken but a small number Of those
liable Of course if 200 should sub
scribe, the town bounty would be dou-
bled. The plan we think is feasible,
and but needs few energetic men at
the head to set the ball in motion.
There are some public-spirited, union
loving citizens, not liable to draft, who
will perhaps aid the movement by also
subscribing their .s50s, s100s, or even
$500s. The same thing will of course
apply to every district in the county
In order to make a start the Junior
proposes to deposit $50 in cash at the
Banking House of VIM. Russell, or in
the hands of any person whom com
mittee may designate, on the above
conditions. Who'll second the move?
Speak out-there is no time for dilly-
dallying in this matter. If the quota
is not filed, SO per cent. will be added
to the number, and the draft made
and as under present regulations but
few can expect to get off on account of
disability, it behooves all to be up and
doing.

strife in the Convention called to meet
here on Thursday of next week, is, who
shall receive the nomination for Senator !
Hardly any one will pretend to deny that
according to the custom Of electing mem
bers of the Legislature two terms in sue

of naming man for the position and il
they can but agree upon suitable per

LETTER FROM ILLINOIS.

LAMoILLE, Ill, July 10th 1864.
Mr.. EDIroR:-The wheat crop in this
section Of the west is badly damaged by
the drouth and chinch bugs Barley is
almost a total failure; while corn is in
jured to considerable extent by the bugs.
Oats yield good crop; and corn where
not thus troubled, bids fair to give rich
return.
The weather has been more than com.
monty hot thus far, since the heated
season" came on.
The Union people hereabouts are deter.
mined, patriotic and hopeful; while the
copperheads, although not very jubilant
spit forth their venom as usual.
Corn is tassled and set for ears. Ap
pies promise we'll, and some are commeno
ing to ripen. Cherries have disappeared
from the stage; currants dead ripe rasp
berries the same, and blackberries ripen
ing. Yours truly
FRANK PLuMLEY.
