Special Correspondence Of The Chicago Times
MoNTICELlO o, Ind, August 10.
The first discourse upon the issues Of
the day between the speaker Of the house
OF representatives and the gallant Turpie
was held iIaymond's grove, in this place
to-day. Mr. Turpie opened the discourse
IN clear. forcible, and argumentatiye
speech CT one hour. during which time he
entertained his large audience with more
than ordinary interest, with a comproLen-
sivc review OF the Legislation of the late
radical Congress. During the speech thc
audience was loud with enthusiastic
cheers. AID gave every evidence that hi.
remarks were but the echo Of the senti,
nlent5 Of their own minds.
Coliax followed Turpe with his stero.
typed harangue about the 'unrepentine
rebels, and frequent appeals to the prciu
dice o. republicans against the democratic
party and Its restoration policy. Instead
OF meeting the manly and digrifed arsu
men;s Of his competitor, he devoted most Vi
ms tine IN stale abuse Of the democratic
party, and just such worn out and thread.
bare charges as has been his principal
stock in trade through the district for the
past four years.
Judge Turpie, in conclusion, was most
scathins in his exposition of his competi-
tors hypocritical professions and record
aud showed that his official conduct was in
the interest Of the manufacturers. stock
jobbers, bondholders, negroes, and mems
bers of Congress, and against the laborer,
mechanic, soldier and sailor During the
conclusion of this able effort of the demo-
cratic standard>bearor, the shouts of en-
thusiasm from the crowd were constant and
almost deafcning, clearly Indicating the
zeal and determination Of the democracy
to change the present member Of Congress
from this district.
Upon the whole, the discussion must
have satisfied NJ. Colfax and his friends
that the heart OF the audience was with
Iurpie, and, taking this meeting as an in
dex to public sentiment, that the cause Of
republicanism, in the person of the ten
thousand dollars speaker of the house of
representatives, is doomed TO an inglorious
defeat at the ballot-box in October. Y.
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1866-08-16

The Chicago tribune in speaking of the
candidates for Congress in the 9th district
of Indiana, says that Honorable Schuyler
Colfax is the Union nominee, and dirty
Dave Turpie is on the copperhead ticket.
This statement is in perfect accord with the
general spirit of the whole abolition press
and party. Whatever opposes the self
righteous, holy, rure, Immaculate Puritan,
i. dirty and ungodly. Belonging TO the
God and humanity party all opponents
are dirty and should not be tolerated !;
and when they possessed the power oppo-
sition was not tolerated To suppress
or ''squelch" a copperhead was the first duty
of thorough 'union" soldier, and the abb
clifton dream of perfect bliss was vision
Of the day when the people Of the south
should be exterminated, and all copper>
heads wiped from the face of the Garth
The dungeon, banishment or death was the
universal sentence upon all democrats who
tell into their hands. And now that their
power is departed from them, and any at
temp at violence would insure 4
quick and ample retribution, they can on
ly vent their spleen and impotent rage in
filthy black guard phrases, which are SER
viceabe in giving them relief and in Show
ing to the people their true status. Judge
Turpie can we'll afford to allow such
things as the Chicago Tribune, and those
who indorse its infamous sentiments, call
him dirty" Ills record is clean, he has
never sought to destroy the government
which protects him: he has never bowep
the knee to New England Puritans; has
never betrayed his constituents; has never
sought to elevate the negro to the social
and political level Of a white man, and does
not now go before the people asking that
this be done or that the Mon be Dissolved.
Though abolitionists may bespatter him with
their filth, his record is still clean.

says:
We learn that bands of negroes have
been holdldg midnight drills in the State

high as two hundred strong. Can any
body tell what this means? Are they
preparing to reinforce their brethren in
Dixie when the war of races breaks out

neutrality laws. Or are they up to some

What They Offered In 1864.

In July, 1864, Mr.. Horace Greeley, the
editor of the New York TriJune. which
paper now opposes President johnson 5
policy, because, as it alleges, it is too fa>
vorable to the South, wrote the following
letter to President Lincoln:
NEW YORK, July Z, 1864.
Only DEAR SIR: = y | entreat YOU,
in your own time and manner, to submit
overtures for pacification to the Southern
insurgents, which the impartial must pro-
nounce frank and generous. If only with
Il view to the momentous election soon to
occur in North Carolina, and of the draft
to be enforced in the free States, this
should be done at once. | would give the
safe conduct required by the rebel ENJOYS
at Niagara, upon their parole to avoid OBJ
servation and to refrain from all communi-
cation with their sympathizers in the loyal
States but you may see reason for declin-
ing it. But whether through them or
otherwise do not, | entreat you, fail to
make the Southern people comprehend
that you and all of us are anxious for peace,
and prepared to grant liberal terms.
venture to suggest the following plan OF
adjustment:
Il. The Union is restored and declared
perpetual.
~ Slavery is utterly and forever abol>
ishcd throughout the same.
"3. A complete amnesty for all political
oiienses, with restoration of all The in
habtants Of each State to all the privil-
eyes of citizens of the United States.
a. The Union to pay four hundred
million dollars $500 600 900 in five per
cent United States stock to the late slave
States, loyal and secession alike, to be APP
portioned pro rata, according to their slave
population respectively by the census of
1860, in compensation for the losses OF
their loyal citizens by the abolition of
slavery.
80. The said States to be entitled
henceforth to representation in the House
on the basis Of their total, instead of their
federal population, the whole being now
free.
&c. a National Convention, to be as
sembled as soon as may be, to ratify this
adjustment and make such changes in the
Constitution as may be deemed advisa>

CoLUMBUs, GA, March 10.
lfssrs. Editors: The ladies are now
and have been for several days engaged
'nthe sad but pleasant duty of orna.
menting and improving that portion Of
the city cemetery sacred to the memo
ry of our gallant Confederate dead, but
we feel it an unfinished work unless n
day be set apart annually for its especial
attention. We cannot raise monumen.
tai shafts, and inscribe thereon their
many deeds of heroism, but we can
keep alive the memory of the debt we
owe them, by at least dedicating one
day IN each year to embellishing their
humble graves with flowers.
Therefore, we beg the assistance of
the press and the ladies throughout the
South, te aid us in our efforts to set
apart certain day, to be observed
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
and be handed down through time, as a
religious custom Of the country, TO
wreathe the graves of our martyred
dead with flowers. We would propose
the day -- Of April, as at that time
our land may be truly called the "land
OF flowers" Let every city, town and
village joini in the pleasant duty; let all
be alike remembered, from the heroes of
Manassas to those who expired amid the
death throcs of our halowed cahse.
Wen crown alike the honored resting
places of the immortal Jackson, in Vir.
ginia, Johnson, of Shiloh, Cleburne, in
Tennessee, and the host of gallant pri.
Yates who adorned our eranks-all did
their duty, and to all we owe our graft
tude.
Let the soldiers grave, for that day
at least, be the Southern Mecca, to
whose shrine her sorrowine women,
like pilgrims, may annually bring their
grateful hearts and floral offerings
And when we remember the thousands
who were buried with "iheir martial
cloaks around them," without christian
ceremony of intermeiit for their beloved
bodies. we would invoke the aid of the
most thrilling eloquence throughout the
land, to inaugurate this custom, by de.
livering on the appointed day this year,
an eu!ogy on the unburicd dead of our
glorious Southern ARMY. They died
for their country. Whether their
country had, or had not the right to de.
mand the sacrifice, is no longer quos
ton of discussion with us. We leave
that for the future nation to decide.
That it was demanded, that they nobly
responded, and fell holy sacrifices upon
their conntry's gratitude, none will
deny.
The proud banner under which they
rallied in defense of the noblest cause
for which our heroes fought, or trusting
woman prayed, has been furled forever.
The country for which they suffered
and died has no name or place among
the nations of the earth. Legislative
enactments may not now be made to do
honor TO their memories but the veri.
est radical that ever traced his geneolo.
gy back to the deck Of the Mug F2ower,
could not deny us the simple privilege
of paying honor to those who died de-
fending the life, honor and happiness of
the SOUTHERN WOMEN.
