Wherever Schuyler Colfax speaks du.
ring the present campaign he addresses a
silent audience The enthusiastic cheers
that used to greet him are not forthcoming
now, and he makes his appearance before,
and addresses, silent, spiritless audience.
True, some of the thimble-riggers manage
to raise faint, sickly shout at the close
of his addresses, but it is manufactured
and there is no heart in it. This is very
large sized straw, and shows clearly the
direction in wich the wind is setting. The
balderdash with Which he endeavors to
tickle the popular fancy does net take"
and Will not win.
Talking Of his own "lcyalty,' and the
lisloyalty of Democrats in former times, of
retaining the power of the government in
the hands of its friends, and of the outra-
ees OF the rebel armies, and such like clap
trap, does not satisfy the people who 90 to

real live issues, of the day, and to avoid
stating his own positions on those issues Is
transparent and does not satisfy please
even his most Jealous partizans and sup.
rorters. His cowardce is breeding a gen
eral contempt for him in the abolition
camp, and honest radicals begin to realize
the fact that their petted leader is but 4
dishonest, rascally demagogue, and they
treat him accordingly. If Schuyler is in
favor of negro suffrage, the Civil Rights
bill. the exemption of government bonds {
from taxation, a protective tariff, and OF
recognizing the right of secession, he will
save himself the votes Of honest radicals
BY frankly advocating his infamous dogmas. +

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. -.
Dispatches from Terre iIaute state that
Voorhees, is seriously sick, which will ac>
count for his failure to ill several appoint
mentS this week.
Notwithstanding the reports Of Morton $
debility he is announced to make a series
of speeches at different points--sitting, of
course, 50 as to excite sympathy on account
of his physical prostration. The radicals
are fighting with desperation, all over the
state, to save their sinking cause and re-
tain their hold upon power, nsing every
influence that money can exert.
The democratic state committee have
not yet had any response from the repub>
lican state committee to the proposition
made by the former for an equitable di>
vision of all election boards in the state.
The mass meeting at Edinburg, to, day,
was enc ofthc largest and finest iemonstra
tons of the season, furnishing additional
evidence that the people are thoroughly
aroused to the important results depending
upon tie coming election. Capt. Lord
candidate for Congress in this district,
Senator IIendrick and Gorge IL. Pendle>
ton, were the speakers, and their efforts
were mastery expositions Of the living is
sues Of the canvass. The speech of Pen
deton was very able and dignilied, and
produced a profound Impression, The re-
ception of Mr. Pendleton by the immense
throng was very enthusiastic and cordial
which must have been very gratifying TO
one of the foremost men of the west and
abest statesmen of the country.

The EcpsaHS,
We clip the following from the Marshal

We clip the following from the Marshall
CountyRepublican Of Nov. =. 1863:
$50 ia as we arc individually concern
ed we have no preference between the
Fenians and the British, but on some ac-
counts would not care to see rebellion In
Ireland. even if it did not succeed, as it
certainly would not, in order that we might
have an opportunity to retaliate upon
johnny for the course he pursued toward
the United States during the recent troub-
les. We think it would improve his
morals to have Lis logic turned upon him. y
In a previous issue, on the 2Sth of Sep
tember, the same paper contained the fol-
lowing insult to the Irish of this country,
for getting the fact that the Irish contributed
literally of men and money to save the
government. Irshmen, read it:
':The daily papers are having consider
able to say about the Fenians. but We
have never attached any importance to
their movements, and Consequently had
little to say about them. In case Of war
between the Irish and Britishcrs We would
feel very much like the woman when she
saw her husband and the bear Fl lighting -
Both were enemies Of the United States
during the progress of the rebellion, and
now if they get into a fight WE HOPE
THEY WILL FUNNEL EACH 9TH
Err SOUNDLY."
When it is known that this Irish hating
sheet is the mouth piece Of Mr. Coliax
can the real designs Of the latter be cons
cealcd by pretended love for the Fenian
cause? What is the cause Of this
sudden change of heart by the radical
Know Nothing leaders? They profess q
sympathy for the Irish just now; is it to
get the Irish vote that they are all at once
so nice? We tell the Irish in all candor
that these abolitionlsts are their worst en-,
emies John Bull himself would not wei
come their defeat with more real satisiac
ton than these self-styled radical sympa-
thizers for the Fenian cause.
" have too much faith in TIE wisdom
and good sense Of the Irish citizens to
believe that they can be deceived by the
hypocriticaI pretentions of the radicals
When the Republican asserted that it
had "no preference between the Fenians
and the British" and that it chopped they
would pummel each other soundly,' it
but re-echoed the sentiment Of every radi
cal in the land, Schuyler Colfax with the
rest.

TYNER CITY, INp., Aug, -, 1866.
EDS. DEMOCRAT
As the campaign is now opening in good
earnest, the abolition disunionists have
set about their dirty and contemplate
work to accomplish their schemes. There
is nothing too low or dirty for them to re-
sort to if they think there is a prospect OF
getting a vote for Schuyler Colfax and the
balance of their ticket They do not rely
on the open advocacy of their principles for
success; they have already learned that
this is distasteful to the people, and they
are looking ar ound for something Of a local
character to misrepresent. For instance.
few weeks ago there appeared in the u.
C. Republican a letter from the trustee Of
this township to one OF The school direc-
tors, directing him to hire a teacher in a
certain school house, to prevent it from
falling into the hands of a covetous old
fellow who bought the land of a non~resi~
dent after the house was partly built, tor
the purpose Of making trouble about 1t
and because the trustee would not pay HIM
SIC for half acre Of ground on which to
put the house, and s. year rent for the
use of the site.
As TO the house costing $500, and the
township being deprived of its use, it is
simply false. 1t cost, | am informed; less
than sI75, and will be kept for school
purposes for ten years, unless an abolition
trustee should be elected who, Dy dcrelec-
ton Of duty, would let it fall into the hands
of German.
Any man who will parade private letters
in public is no better than the man who
will publish them. Therefore, L would
advise Mr. b. to forsake his sneaking,
deception, and try to rise above the slime
that is exhibited in his meddlesomc nature.

The radical Congressman, it will be
remembered, just previous to adjourning
voted themselves seventeen months in
creased back pay. This was done to fur
nish them with funds whercwith to stump
their sev oral districts for re election. =
They arc making good Use oft. The Rad
zeal Congressman from the Chicago Dis

ccnce, hired Crosby's Opera house, in that
city, on his return from Washington, (paid
for it hmscli) and addressed an immense
audience advocating his own denomination
This increase of double back pay for the
past seventeen months may be just the
thing for Radical Congressman, but we
don't think the tax payers who have to
bear the burden will look upon Il in the
same light. Ali that Radical Congressman
are good for, and all they have done in the
past, Is to increase the public burden and
legislate for the black man It is about
