Editors Journal:
The sun shines once more, and the
dark, wet days of humid September
begin to assume a more life-like as
pect.
:. Notwithstanding the rains and mud
the great political battle. has been
going on. Even Democracy, that
disciple of mean whisky that un-
washed anamoly, has been able to
bear up under the rains, and retains
all its impurities and filth despite the
copious additions all things earthly
have lately received from the foun-
tains above.
az You know that Voorhees,, the
mighty, the man who always voted for
the last dollar and the last man to
prosecute an unholy war, has been
among us, preaching the wild vagaries
of Democracy, and testifying of that
which nobody knows, and none but
Copperhead Democrats will believe.
And when Daniel came, the AL
mighty opened the hollow of His
hand and poured out upon the pol
luted earth such rains as we dreamed
not of. The rain, however, did not
cease with the ministrations of Daniel,
but continued for several days, and
interfered, to some extent, with our
meetings. Verify, "God is not re-
specter of persons. A rg4
Many of our people went to your
city to attend the grand demonstra-
ton in honor of Governor Morton,
0 and they report that, -notwithstand-
ing the bad weather, the people of
Evansville did splendid work, =
99 1t seems that water has no effect
upon your citizens, and that in a good
D cause they will succeed in spite of the
howlings of Copperheads or the in
clemency of the elements. The cam
paign is going on lively in our county,
! and we will beat the bogus Democracy.
Whenever the Butterheads get any
I advantage in any part of this moral
heritage" some fellow, like Moreau,
comes along and makes a Mosaic
speech, or few copies of an obscure
Il publication, enanating from your city,
and known as the Courier, make their
debut, and, by their filth, profanity,
and idiocy, knock all the Democratic
gains into pr! Moses, in his wander
ings, did not come to comfort, the De
mocracy of our county. No stars
were deposited nor States distributed,
in Gibson, and 9the Democracy is
utterly inconsolable. They do not
appear to in the circumference of
that grand circle, around which
His AccideRcy' has been swinging.
But, while Andy was Swinging" the
Spirit of Freedom met him in the
country of the Northwest, which is by
the great seas of the North. The
Spirit met Moses, who had an unclean,
spirit, coming out from among the
tombs, wiz: the tomb of Douglas
And Moses had his dwelling among
tombs and where they Swing around
circles" and no man could bind him,
no, not even Grant. And always,
night and day, he was sorely vexed
with devils, swinging circles cry
ing out, me, my, L, alderman, HIM
bic individual, and continually flung
stars, and States, and Constitutions at
the people. But when he saw the
Spirit of Freedom he cried out, with
loud voice: What have I to do
with thee, Spirit of Freedom-thou
child of Washington J. art thou come
to torment us before our timer" For
the Spirit of Freedom had said unto
the unclean spirit, Come out of
him NJ. 80 ..,.-. 'ooa /
And Freedom asked him, what's
thy name? And he answered saying,
my name is my policy for we are
great And the unclean spirit asked
that he might not be sent. away into
the great deep. Now there was, nigh
that place, great herd of many Dem
ocrats, feeding upon the barren rocks
{ of secession. And all the devils be-
sought that they might be sent into
this great herd of Democrats. And |
forthwith the spirit Of Freedom gave
them leave, and all theunclcan. spirits
went out and entered into the Demo
Gratis, and the herd ran violently down
a steep place called Election, and
were all choked in the Sea of Defeat.
