Bourbon Correspondence.

BoUEBOS, Aug. %.
EDS. REP.:--We had thought of referring
in detail to the resolutions of the late rebel
sympathizing Convention at Philadelphia,
but. as the proceedings of that body have
been thoroughly ventilated by able speak
ers and writers. we deem it unnecessary
Suffice it to say the Copperheads of Bour-
bon adopt the language of their leaders and
pronounce it an assemblage of the wisest
men OF the nation, whose deliberations
were harmonious, and indicative of the
speedy return of our primitive peace and
unity; while all loyal men consider il a con
vention of rebels and rebel-sympathizers.
with very few exceptions, whose hearts are
as corrupt as they were during the bright
est days of the late COnfederacy. No one
was allowed To speak for fear of interrupt
ing the peace and tranquility which they
desired should pervade the Wigwam. No
allusion dare he made To the triumph of
the Federal arms in other than milk and
water accents for fear of wOunding the
feelings of those who registered their names
at the hotels "a officers in the late Confed-
crate Army: And Northern Copperheads
and rencgades attentiyely listened To Dix
lie" and other rebel songs. All in all il was
a grand anti Union asscmblage, and. though

The Onc-horse leaders of the Democracy
of Bourbon, thinking something was nee
essary to be done to strengthen the faith of
such of the party as might he waning. and
considering the Lacrosse Democrat the
proper instr iment for that purpose, proclr-
ed quite number of subscribers for that
delectable sheet. But the sequel shows
that instead of enhancing the interests ot
COpperheadism il produced q contrary ef-
| feet. One of the subscribers, Mr. KNAPP
penberger, a life long Democrat, has been
converted TO UniOnism by the reasonable
blackguard writings of Brick" and saws
he is ashamed of ever having been i.enii-
fed with that party since the mat uratior
of the rebellion. He is now a stauncb
Union man-e SUPPORTER of the gallant Col
fax--and recommends Brick" Pomeroy to
all k5nsa Democrats who are DESTROYS oil
having their eyes opened that they may see
the real head and front" of the party with
which they have been acting. We believe
Brick" to be true representative of the
party and we hope to have a few NOR,
numbers of his paper distributed among
the honest intelligent Democrats before the
election, as it will materially augment the
majority for Schuyler.
Bourbon is again infested with band O
burglars who are making their raids on pri

been successful, while in others their effort.

deavOred to effect an entrance into TIM
house of G. w. Moore. but they were dis
covered by one of Mr.. Moore's workmer
who, sending couple of leaden messcn
gers in the direction of the thieves, caused
| them to beat a hasty retreat. We thinl
these scOundrels can be caught and W.
hope our citizens will adopt means to tina

little sufferer was beyond human aid. Tn
shock to the parents cannot be described
To be so suddenly robbed of the idol o
