and convince some one that Gov MonTrs
would not he elected Senator. Every
intelligent man knows. that Gov. NJ. will
be elected To the Senate as surely as the
Legislature convenes on the 4th Of Jan
uary. 1867.
We have taken the pains to compile

the State. which we publish on the first

The Lafayette Courier, in commenting

says:
The people have not forgotten. rs

of the Legislature favorable TO his elec-

understood to he the popular choice of
the copperheads-
We beg to assure our neighbor of the
journal, thai while it may rival the Her
aid in profession. the loyal people will
elect a United States Senator Of their own
free choice Gov Morton has survived
the assaults Of his foes. and even the
praise Of the Heroid or the .loarnoi will
not compromise him in the estimation
of the good and true men OF the
country
The Edinburgh Jou,H OF the 18th,
says:
"Gov. q p. Morton, it seems. Judging
from the tone of the pres. throughout
the country, is the man who is to he our
next United States Senator, and we are
of the opinion that no man in the State
better deserves it. Whilst there are
many loyal and true men who would FIJI
the position with honor and credit to
themselves and the State, yet the great
mass of the people desire to confer this
honor upon Governor Morton, their
lnn \, ,.r1,
long and trying years of the rebellion
He has by his unwavering patriotism and
zeal for the cause OF universal liberty
and the maintenance Of the laws of our
common country in times of her greatest
need, won for himself a name and place
in the affections of the people of Indiana
which will be remembered and honorcd
when the names of those who have ira
duced and slandered him shall have been
forgotten. He has proven himself equal
TO any and every emergency and the
people know il, and will not fail to show
to the world their just appreciation of
his past official career. Let the Lcgisla
ture elect Coz. Morton to the Senate
and it will do just what large majority
of the people of the State ask and wish
it should do
The True Republican Of last week, had
some four columns made up OF extracts
from four or five newspapers properly
joined together and explained by editor
ial comments, 10y all of which it was in
tendedAo show the eminent fitness OF the
Editors brother. the Hon GEORGE w.
JULIAN, for the position of United States
Senator, and the remarkable untitness of
GovERxog MORTON for the same office.
The Trae Republican wishes the people
of this District TO understand that there
is n great public expression in behalf OF
MR. JULIAN, and the half dozen extracts
are worked up, cut to pieces, and strung
out in the most ingenious manner. The
principal article in the collection is from
the Richmond 7sieyram and it is present
ed as being especially significant of pull
lie sentiment in Wayne county. The
Telegram we are bound 10 atimit was at
one time published as Republican pa
per, but was then denounced by the Trae
Republicans being wickedly conserya-
tive and the Editor as venal and working
for pay. Some time last Spring. how
ever, It changed hands and under the
new proprietors became serertiy neptral
in politics with strong Copperhead pro-
clivities and SO continued up to the late
election. For tue truth of this state
ment we have our own weekly readings
of the Telegram and the abundant dec
larations of the Iras Repu6iieaa.
The sudden change in it's course will
be readily understood by those who be
Geved what the True Republican used to
say about its Editor, but when the Rtpub-
iiean now sends it abroad as Union pa
per it makes itself party to the fraud
and stnltiies its own declarations for
years past.

ceived the Telegram article was read by
