Result OF Bad Company.

Years ago, when g. Volney Dorsey was
Democrat, he had the rcputation-well
deserved no doubt-of being an homes man.
Then the man that would have dared to in

would have been secuted as u common SLAM

dict Arnold was once Il patriot, just as Vol
ney was an honest man. But Lucifcr got
into bad company and attempted to resist
the laws Of Heaven, just as the Aolitionists
did those Of Congress while running the
Underground Railroad, and fell never more
to risc-Arnold got into sweet communion
with tories and other bad company, and his
name is handed down as Infamous. Nolney
pursuing a similar course fell into bad com

closeted with rcbcious leaders, got on itch

How Dark County was Carried
by the cAbOiitiOnists.

Everywhere throughout the State, day
or two after the election, Democrats were
curious to know why it was that the Aboli-
tionists had elected their ticket in Darke
county. A subscriber writing Us from that
county gives the reason. The night before
the election, the Abolitionists got out a
circular purporting to come from the Demo
cratic Central Committee, announcing that
the Democratic candidate for Auditor Of the
county had been Stabbed in an affray, and
being likely to die, the Committee had de-
termined to put another Democrat on the
ticket for auditor, and desiring the leading
Democrats to withhold the tickets already
sent them
There was some dissatisfaction in the De-
mocratc ranks with the nominee for Rep
resentative. Accompanying this Circular
was forged letter from this candidate, an
nouncing his withdrawal, and the substitu-
ton Of another candidate in his place. -
These circulars and letters were sent to
townships remote from the county seat, and
were deemed authentic by many Democrats;
hence votes enough were cast for the
names substituted to defeat our candidates
for Auditor and Representative. The cir
culaIs were fUrgcrlcs and the tickets cUun
tcrieit. This the dirtiest plot to carry an
election ever conceived, and will only answer
far o"ce. The people Of Darke country will
be careful not to trust in the future any
man or men engaged in so scandalous Il
transaction. Plain Dealer.

Wendell Phillips on President
.DOhnSOn

The Radicals have opened their batteries
on President johnson, and from this time
forth will wage fierce and relentless war
fare against the policy Of his Administers
ton. The Neo lorh independent leads the
attack Of the Radical press upon him; and
Wendell Phillips sounds the keynote of
assault from the platform, which is being
taken up by speakers oflesser note through
out the country. Phillips spoke before an
immense audience Of enthusiastic Bostoni
ans, on last Tuesday night, and denounced
the President in no measured terms. He
stigmatized him rs being three quarters
rebel and gave the Republican party up
as dead, walking over the country like "A
ghost in It's shroud,
The Radical rebellion against the Ad-
ministration has but just begun. 1t will
gather volume and force until President
johnson, aided by the Democratic party
and by Conservative Republicans, shall put

plished the Cabinet will have to undergo
reconstruction, and much moro fighting will
have to be done "on that line - States
