a Case We'll Stated.

Some republican newspapers see the
tendency of the revolutionary designs Of
the radicals, and have sense enough to
warn their party against the dangers which
are impending. The New York Times
puts the following strong case:
Suppose matters to stand in 1868 SUBJ
stantiaily as they stand to>day-none of
the Southern : :.ates represented in Con-
gross. Is it not reasonably certain that
they will all be represented in the Demo-
cratic National Nominating Convention,
and that they will choose electors who will
vote for the democratic nominees? Now
suppose their votes, together with those of
Northern States that may vote the demo-
cratic ticket, constitute majority Of the
electoral college what will be the re
suit? 1t may be said their votes will not
be counted Congress. containing only
Northern membcrs-the South not being
represented in twill reject them. viii
that rejection be accepted by the country?
Will tho mass Of the Southern people, or
The mass If the afm2cratc party in the
North acquicsce in it? And would not
such resistance be most menacing to the
peace Of the country? That would not be
an attempt at secession; it would be in no
sense sectional conflict it would present
to the country and the world the aspect of
majority of the people insisting upon
their right to control the Government, as
against the unconstitutional usurpation of
the minority.
The case stated as possible by the Times
will prove to be Certainty, but we do not
think the Radicals will dare to resist the
will of the majority for moment. Ifthey
should the leaders would have wonders
fully short shrift. There would be no
general war. The whole affair would be
settled in the most summary manner.

, Our SENTIMENTs.-The editor Of the
Northern hdianian speaks out in rather
plain language to his readers on the
subject of inserting notices in his paper
free of charge. We copy portion of the
article and recommend it to the careful
attention Of few of our readers. We
have done great deal of gratuitous prints
ing within the last year, and find it ra ther
Improbable business. Publishers are too
apt to listen to the feeble stories of this
class of individual. and in that way they
are egregiously imposed upon. Let pubs
fishers everywhere adopt this mode of do
ing business.
We wish it distinctly understood that
we publish no articles whatever, without
pay. This applies to individuals, to Odd
Fellows, to Masons, to Temperance Socie>
ties, and to ALL We do not recognize the
right Of any institution whatever to resolve
that the proceedings or resolutions of their
shall be published in our paper
without asking our consent or making the
necessary arrangements to pay for the same.
Thepublisher ola newspaper is ofnecessity
to do more gratis work than any
other class of individuals, and SO far as we
are concerned we propose to do no more
Of it. If we feel able to give anything for
charitable purposes we will do SO, but we
DO not propose to be forced to do so on all
occasions. The merchant, the grocer, the
butcher, nor other mechanics are in the
habit of donating their goods and wares to
charitable purposes, and it is unfair. to ex>
act it from the publisher of a newspaper,
and so far as We are concerned it shall not
be done in the future.

The Eeniai, War.

The following is taken from the news
column Of yesterdays Chicago Times, and
is the latest news We have from tho Fem
ians or the Canada border
A telegram from ST. Adams announced
that the main body of the Fenians COM
menced marching from Fairfield at
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the column
heading towards Canada Other Fenian
troops are reported to DO marching to,
wards the border, but their particular des-
tination is not known. The excitement in
Canada continues undated and every
preparation necessary for vigorous de-
fence is being made by the military au,
thorities \ number of struggling Fen
ians have been captured and shot by the
Canadian volunteers.

The candid, truthful, gentlemanly jour
nalist who presides over the columns of
the Republican, says We have assumed jul
risdiction over the case Of Jeff Davis. and
constituted our readers jury, and deliv-
cred charge in which we have demon
strated that JEFF. is prosecuted saint !;
that we call those that desire that treason
be made odious bloodletters, &c, &c. We
have done no such thing. We never at
tempted to demonstrate that Davis is a
prosecuted saint. We said, and we say
now, that jeff was and is no worse than
thousands of others both north and
south, that since the war is ended he is
powerless for evil that he is no more an
enemy to the government than Stevens,
Wade, Sumner and other radicals. lie
tried to dissolve the Union and failed
THY ate now trying to do the same thing.
lie used the sword to further his designs;
they used corruption, unconstitutional
legislation and negroes to further theirs;
which was the more honorable we leave
for our readers to decide. That such men
as the radical abolitionists really desire to
see treason made odious is not at all likely,
seeing that they are themselves the most
persistent disloyalists in the country. They
of all others first proposed the doctrine of
secession, they only of all others declared
the constitution "league with hell" and
called the flag of our country "Hate's poll
luted rag" and "naunting lie." They
have no desire to see treason made odious,
they only seek vengeance upon their po-
litical adversaries.

Under the above caption the Republi-
can last week quoted an article written by
us the week before, relative to the evils Of
drunkenness, and adds:
GLOW the friends Of the Democrat who are
engaged in the business ofmaking drunkarlS,
will relish the above, we cannot say but we
hope it will not back down from the advance
it has made in this respect"
Having made no advance Gin this re-
spect," but standing where we have al
was stood, shall have no occasion to ''bacil
down" We believe drunkenness to be q
great crime, as well as q misfortune, and
hence we shall hereafter as We have heres
tofore, refrain from educating the drum
kard into the belief that somebody else is
responsible for his crime and misery. As
long as men will drink, other men VIII sell,
and when men SO far forget themselves, as
to become intoxicated, they should bear
their own burden of the sin and shame of
so doing, and not seek to charge the offence
upon somebody else. We take pleasure in
informing our neighbor that "the friends
of the Democrat" are as free from the
charge of "drunkard making as
are the friends OF the Republican. More
than half the saloon keepers and whisk ely
sellers in this county are republicans; will
the Republican say that they are
"drunkard>makers ?" Speak out.

Questions and Answers,

Speaking of the appointment Of Gen.
Grose as Collector of Internal Revenue
for the 9Th District, our neighbor asks us
the following question
"What do you think of the appointment neigh
Dor -
We like it for two reasons, first, because
the General is conservative in politics,
and in this respect vast Improvement on
his predecessor who is blatant radical ;
second because the General, unlike too
many of his party associates, demonstrated
the sincerity of his faith by his works,
taking up arms to suppress the rebellion
instead of urging others TO go while he
should stay at home.
Don't You think the President might give
the obsequious copperheads in their endorse.
ment of his policy. a crumb occasionally
merely to keep their spirits up"
Marry a crumb, neighbor. "Obsequious
copperheads" are like other obsequious
men, unworthy to receive crumbs from any
source. We are pleased to inform our
neighbor that obsequiousness is not a
characteristic Of democrats, and that at
least four fifths of that article now on hand
in this country, may bo found done up in
packages and labelled "radicalism, loyalty,
republicanism" and sich like.
''What is the use of bending the plant him
ges ofthe knee, if thrift don't follow fawn-
ng?"
We don't know, never having been in a
position to ascertain. Youmight ask Ben
Butler, or Joe Wright, or "dirty work To-
gan" they are an fat on that subject; r
what might perhaps be better, give US your
own opinion. Your experience in trying
to obtain the post-ofice here, and the re
suit of your efforts in that behalf, admira,

Like CannibaEs with "a Mission


The Charlottesville Chronicle, referring
to the various modes of treating the South
proposed by the Northern leaders, says:
These loyal men remind us Of 4 parcel
of cannibals who have just got fine mis-
sionary. They strip him stark naked, and
tic him to tree, and then confer how they
shall cook him. One fellow says, "let's
roast him whole over slow fire lust
toast him until he is a lite Drowned
"Oh, NJ" says another, ''stew him-stew>
ed missionary is the incest thing in the
world" "Oh, no." says a third, "you
don't know any thing-the right way to
eat that man is to put him in a pie stuffed
with potatoes" Sumner cries out, I'D
like to make mince meat Of him, or pass
him through a sausage mill" Stevens says,
''Pickle him raw, | like acids" Bolts
says, "Don't let's eat the whole of him.
Just take off his arms and legs, and let's
have them fried, they are equal 20 pigs
feet"
A mild old savage looks on benignantly,
and says: "My dear friends, it is pity to
cat tllt DbOl iCt y Il stht hb-
MAMIE him, for he is man like ourselves,
he wears clothing and
holds such atrocious opinions-my judg-
mcnt is that we shall unite him and let him
go, provided he is disposed to do the fair
thing and join us--if he will promise to
become n decent savage | would turn him
loose--when he agrees that = savage is as
good as q missionary, and get, on the plat
form Of equal rights, would give him
and his friends, (when we catch them) a
general amnesty" Stevens growled like
a wild beast-''Td like to eat you, Horace,
hat and all--none Of your brotherhood for
me at this hour, quilting out his watch)-
it is two o'clock am not particular-I
give up my plan-stew him if you choose
i call the previous question" sumner
-"lfnonc of you object, while they are
taking the vote, I'll just cut slice out of
him with my knife---that's the way |
have seen them doin Abyssinia.'

1t is needless to say to thinking demo
Gratis that the "old man" over the way is
simply guessing ct results Of which he
knows absolutely nothing, and democrats
are not weak enough to be led astray by
the twaddle Of the Republican
1t harps upon the exploded idea Of a
"Court House Clique" and takes it for
granted that all other parties, like its own,
mast be run by clique" 'junta," or
central directory" in which the people
are not permitted to participate.
Who may be nominated by the "Demo-
cratic County Convention" we cannot say,
but We have no doubt that whoever may
be elected will be far preferable to those
who will receive the nomination Of the
republicans, and that our nominees will,
be tiiumphantly elected by a much larger
majority than ever before We pass by
as unworthy of notice the personal allu-
sions to the several candidates mentioned
IN the Republicans article the abuse OF
that sheet will do them no harm. So far
as Mr.. Packard is concerned, he assures
Us that he is not, and has no desire to be
candidate for representative and while
on the subject, we viii add that the charge
of the Republican that Mr.. P. 'mortally
offended the Tycoon (whoeyer that may
be- at Valparaiso in 1861" is made up Of
whole cloth. and as false az the heart that
conceived it. Mr. T. was not delegate
and was not present at the convention at
Valparaiso in 1864, and could not there
fore have offended any body at that con-
vention. The article Of the Republican
concludes as follows:
The above figures may be relied on, as
they were made up by the Court House
Clique when acting under orders from the
Tycoon himself
Verify, we think the Tycoon has been
unfortunate in the selection of a clique, il
the men who compose it are making ,

whom he is constantly charging with dis

really one of 'em aud playing off on his
abolition friends ? He is capable of doing
either, as the circumstances require, and
hence is unworthy of credence il any
statement ne may make about one or the
other
In conclusion We say that the figures
are of the Republicans own make, the
Tycoon exists only in the minds of I
few radical abolitionists who are in thu
habit of paying otsisance to party leaders
