BOURBON, Sept. 20, 1866.
EDS. DEMocRAT:
The abolition disunionists of this district
have wonderful faculty for raising thun,
der" for Colfax. A especial dispatch to
the Chicago Tribune" dated Valparaiso,
Sep. 10, among other things says: "Tur>
pies friends manifest but little enthusiasm
and see their doom in October clearly
foreshadcwed to-day. Porter county is
certain for 5000 majority for Colfax p
That being the case Turpie's supporters
might we'll manifest little enthusiasm"
but as there are perhaps but few over Aalf
Mdt many rioters in the county, unless Mas
sachusetts soldiers are allowed to vote
there, as is said to have been the case at
the last Congressional election, and the
services of Mr.. +. Schiller brought into
requisltion, the supporters" Ct Mr.. Tur>
pic may not be able to foresee their doom
quite as clearly foreshadowed as does this
lying correspondent Of the Tribune. In
fact it is pretty ..clearly forcshadowed"
that the abolitionists will not get 600 nor
90 nor nor any majority in that county
this year. There are no Massachusetts,
soldiers to vote there now. There are no
Provost Marshals there now. There are
no ballot box suffers there now. There
are no gltteriDg bayonets there now, ia
the hands of unscrupulous men to deter an
honest expression Of opinion at the ballot
boz. y free people are there now The
chains Of bondage have been knocked off,
and the people are free. And SO it is ev
erywhere
Shout the glad tidings DER land and Ger sea-

would behave themselves at the joint dis

bon township, and am glad to note that
although, they do not claim all the "chris-
tanity, decency, temperance, intelligence,
God and morality there is in the country,
yet not one of them diSgraced himself by
getting drunk and using unbecoming lam
guage as was the case with some of the
opposition All honor to the Democrats of
Bourbon and the Democrats all over the
land.
They have endured what no other party
has ever endured since the foundation of
the republic. They have been arrested
without authority of law, they have been
incarcerated in dungeons without warrant
Of Law for polical offences. They have
been dragged from their families at mid.
night hour. Their presses have becu de-
Stroyed. Their houses have been burned
their lives have been in danger and many
of them have been shot like bulIochs on
the shambles; scatfolds are still standing in
Indiana on which Democrats were to be
hung by order of a court unknown in the
history of civilized nations, "organizcd to
! convict, yet, Notwithstanding all Demo,
Gratis have stood, "Thro' the smoke of :hc
contest, the cannons deep roar" the firm

the Constitution as it is, and the Union

over, they will fight for Union, the war
being waged against it by the radical j =

by some that the attack will prove fatal.
and It's friends are watching it closely and
giving it little nouri.hment occasionally
hoping it will survive to aid the sinking
fortunes of the RAIDS until after the eIec-
