ICOMMUNICATED. |


On the 2Sth of July 1866, while can
vassing Jackson county, Miles Jones
made verbal statement of the "Why"
he voted for Vallandigham, different
from the one he made in a letter, at
Camp Nelson, Ky. lie said, "that his
company was composed of Republicans
and few Democrats; that they were
often talking about politics, and that the
Republicans had made their threats that
if any voted for Vallandigham they
would tar and feather those persons and
ride them on rail, )" and he didn't know
what all.
SO Jones, not that he thought Val
landigham was any better man than
Brough, voted for Vallandigham for
mischief and aggravation, to show the
Republicans that they could not carry
out their threats to tar and feather them,
and ride them on q rail, 60
From this statement man can very
clearly see what sort of candidate the
copperheads are running for the office of
Sheriff of Jackson county. One who
supported Traitor Vallandigham, One
who did so for mischief and aggravation,
One who thought more of aggravating
q few individuals of his own company,
than of supporting the Government in
its utmost need. IFelShmen, BeWare

that some designing person or persons
are circulating a report in the south
side of the county that had said 81

put against me for Sheriff, and it was
no use for them to run a black Welsh
man."
Now I know the people pretty gen.
orally understand that all kinds of ru-
mors are in circulation when a man is
running for office, and that but little
heed is paid to them, but for such
malicious slander as the above to go
uncontradicted, might do an injury to
more than myself.
therefore hereby declare / never
uttered any such words to man, woman
or child, nor can any person be found
that will say before my face that ever
used the language, or anything like it,
to them, or in their hearing, Why
should say so! Is it not known that
among the Welsh are to be found some
of the very best citizens of the county,
and nearly all of the same political faith
as myself, and some of whom | have

after being nominated and knowing the
strength Of the Union party was with

TO ILLUSTRATE,

The disunon radicals propose 70 dlsfnnchlse all
the white people Of the South who were In the
service OF the States lately In rebellion" We
are told that rebels haVe forfeited their rights Of
American citizenship, are nt the mercy of the con-
querOrs and should never be allowed to vote. II
such policy were to be carried out, we should
have In our midst an immense population who,
by the law would be excluded from oil partlcipa-
tion In the Government, and yet they would be
compelled TO pay taxes 10 support that Govern
ment. II would be converting American born
men Into Aliens who could feel nothing else but
cnmity TO the Government which should so op-
press them,
The above is from the Chillicothe Ad-
veraiser. To show the meanness and
dishonesty of the copperheads, it is only
necessary to refer to the fact that the
loyal negroes are now treated by the
copperheads just the way that the I'D.
vertiSer says would be wrong to treat
traitors. Negroes are taxed the same
as white men, but have no voice in the
Government that taxes and oppresset
them.

THE PNILADE ELPHIA CON.
VENTHON.

The convention that met at Philadel-
phia last week was remarkable one.
A large building, called wigwam, was
put up expressly for the purposes OF the
convention. 1t was not finished, and
all day on last Sunday week, the quiet
of the city was disturbed by the sound
of the hammer upon the building. But
it could not then be finished i'll time.
The convention met, having delegates
from all parts of the country. Gen.
John 4. Dix, an old New York Demo-
crat, was elected temporary chairman.
Doolittle was appointed permanent
chairman. A large majority of the del
egates were either rebel officers, or Bit
ter copperhcads; and yet there was a
mock indignation about the admission
of Wood, Vallandigham and H.C.Dean,
Kansas border ruflian. These men
were induced to resign, to preserve
harmony, while the fghti"g traitors were
permitted to remain. The proceedings
were all prepared in advance, and no
debate was permitted. If any freedom
Of speech had been permitted, the whole
concern would have bursted up. These
resolutions might just as well have been
promulgated from Washington, where
they were gotten up by Raymond, as to
have gone through the farce of con-
vention.
Part of the show consisted of big
Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, leading in
a little Massachusetts copperhead named
Couch, The rebels always like rene
gade Yankees better than any one else.
They make the very mcanest copper
heads.
The whole thing was a miserable
farce--a "rump" of a convention, from
which Vallandigham and Wood, the
brains of copperheadism, were expelled.
1t will deceive no one.

JUDGE PLYLEY.

We place the name of this gentleman
upon our ticket this week. Most of the
members of the bar in Jackson would
have preferred to have one of their own
number elected as Judge. Their mo-
tives were selfish, but laudable. They
could not succeed, and so must make
their choice among the other three can
didates. Judge Plyley is candidate
without party nomination. Mr.. Dun
gan is the regular nominee of the party
that opposed the war to put down the
rebellion--the party that carried the
white flag, voted for Vallandigham and
declared the war failure. Mr.. Brat
ton of Macarthur is also another indie
pendent candidate, but he has always
acted with the rebel party. We do not
intend to say any harm of either Of the
gentlemen who are running upon rebel
tickets; but we have had an intimate
personal and business acquaintance with
Judge Plyley during the past eight
years, and know him to be competent
and a true, loyal man. When Others
were attacking our soldiers in the rear,
he was giving his money and his iuhu-
ence in behalf Of our sorely tried coun.

The time Is near at hand when we will have to

and before doing that II Is absolutely necessary
that we should know who are our friends, and
who are our enemies and indeed II requires no
infinite penetration to ascertain that. will ask
Is Andrew johnson our friend2 lie intimated
previous to the Fenlan organization, that he would
not interfere, thus encouraging them to purchase
arms and ammunition and TO perfect their organi-
cation. But when the Irish Brotherhood were
eweeping the Canadian soldiers before them, and
success crownng their noble efforts In behalf of
their beautiful Emerald Isle, with the liberation
Of their down-trodden race In view, and the spirit
of freedom burning In their bosoms; at that very
time johnson ordered his District Attorney to ar
rest these men and put them In prison also to
take their arms from them for which they had
paid the United States what they asked for them.
That's the policy Of President johnson for you !;
and believe II fellow Irishmen, those that advo-
cate his principles are your enemies. Many of you
arc led to believe thai the Democrats are your
friends, but bepdre! They are the party that slls
tain Johnsons policy, and after they succeed to
obtain your votes they will say "no Irish need ap-
ply" Gentlemen, take hint, and support the par
ty that supported you during your strife with
Southern rebels, and Northern Copperheads
You can achieve the victory at the polls as well as
