The DemOkrat and Courier.

We copy a translated article from
the Demokrat of Tuesday. 1t seems
to doubt the genuineness of the Cou-
rier's Democracy. With the Prince
ton Democrat, it is disposed to read
the Courier out of the party. We
must say, however, that we fear it is
the Demokrat that is unsouud. 1t
has got behind the times. Its De-
mocracy is antiquated. On comparing
the Courier with the Democratic pa
pers of the South, the Indianapolis
Herald, Vincennes San, N. Y. World,
and Dag Book, the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, &C., we find that it breaches the
pure Gospel, according to st. Vallan-
digham, and other rebels North and
South.

For County Treasurer.


We are gratified to know that Col.
JOHN RHEINLANDER will submit his
claims to the Union Convention as a
candidate for the Office of County
Treasurer, the position he has so well
filed during the present term. Col.
RHETNLANDER's record as soldier is
known to all our citizens. He fought
CALAMITY in many of the fercest bat
ties of the war, and was badly wound
ed once or twice. 1t will be recol-
lected, also, that on one occasion he
was carried to the polls upon a litter
to deposite a vote in behalf of the
principles of the Union party, for
which he had fought and was suffering
at the time. 1t is such men that the
Union party delights to honor; and,
without any disparagement to other
candidates, we may say that Col.
RHEINLANDER will make strong race,
should he be nominated, and there is
little doubt but that he would be tri-
umphantly elected.

FROM the Dem0krat Of June 20.l
The Courier and the Democracy.

l7seIhe courier ana the Democracy.
/ Every true Democrat, who has read
the Evansville Courae1-its praise Of
jeff. Davis, its prose and poetical lau-
dations of the rebel Generals, its ed
itorial correspondence from Ken
lucky, ETC., etc., be convinced
that it is no Democratic newspaper
that it does not represent the princi-
Piles or advocate the cause of the
great Democratic party On the con-
trary, it is the advocate of the South-
ern rebels. Hitherto we have not
taken much notice of all the nonsense
that came from the pen of Mr.. KIE-
ROLF, but, as the Courier is repeat
eddy mentioned as an exponent of De-
mocracy by some Republican papers,
we consider it necessary, and our
most sacred duty, to deny any and all
such imputations.
In this opinion we agree with the
Princeton Democratic well-known and
excellent Democratic paper in Gibson
County. 1t speaks of the Courier as
follows:
The truth is, Democrats generally are not
only disappointed at the course of the
Courier, but are Disguised at the coarse
profanity of many of its articles. We re-
greet to be compelled to say that its course
has been productive of mischief to the
Democratic cause wherever it circulates in
this district, and the Democracy of Gibson
County do not recognize it as an exponent
OF Democratic views, nor will they con-
sent to be beld responsible for its very fool
ish and inexcusable utterances.
This is the opinion that we and
most of the Democrats of this county
entertain towards the Courier. If the
Evansville Journal labors under the
mistake that the Courier is the lead
ing organ of the Democrats of this
County, we hereby refute the insinua-
ton. We do not consider. tie Courier |
to be a Democratic paper at al. Still |
less is it the leading organ of the Dis
trtct. Should an attempt be made to
force us to follow the political banner
of the Courier, we would prefer to
throw our pen into mud hole and
seek some other occupation.
As good Democrats, we demand that
5he South shall have their constitu-
ional rights, but we are far from pay
ng premium to traitors.
Thanks to God, there are only few
uch papers as the Courier, calling
themselves Democratic, for they would
'rove the ruin of the Democratic
'arty.
So much, by way of defining our po-
ition on this question.

For the Journal.


Messrs. Editors:
| was very glad to notice in your
issue of the 9th inst, the name of
Mr.. Hazlerigg suggested as a candi-
date for the Office of County Treas
urer. He is in every respect well
qualified to fill that position, and has
one claim which it will be we'll for
the party in power not to overlook.
He is disabled soldier. This fact.
in itself, will be strong element of
popularity. It may seem paradox
cal, but the party will find that lame
men-disabled soldiers-are just the
men to run for offices.
Against the present incumbent
nothing can be said Col R. has
8 filed the bill'' to the entire satisfac-
ton of all reasonable men. But he
does not need the emoluments of the
office, being supplied with an album
dance of worldly gear" Judging
from his record, it is not unreasona-
bic to suppose that he would be glad
to yield any claims he may have in
favor of competent and worthy man
who is disabled by honorable wounds
from earning livelihood in any of the
more active pursuits of life. IF there
are any valid objections to the nom
ination of Mr. H., let them be brought
out. 1t is not likely that he will seek
to avoid Investigation as to his record
or claims. IF there is another dis
abled soldier equally deserving and
competent, bring him before the peo-
pie. But by all means let us have
wounded, disabled soldier for can
didate. So with all other Offices in
the gift of the people. This will be
found to accord with the dictates of a
decent sense of gratitude as well as
true political sagacity. X.

General E. Ell. HoBsoN, by the Union
men, has given political matters a
new phase in that State. The appar-
ent unanimity with which the oppo-
nents of Secession indorse the nomi-
nation Of General HoBsoN, promises
well for the defeat of Judge DUvALI
and his rebel supporters. While we
were in favor Of every Union man in
Kentucky sustaining Col BOILING,
and doing what could be done to Sc
cure that gentleman's election, now
that he has withdrawn from the can
vass, we rejoice to see the banner
of the Union party in the hands of a
leader who upheld it gloriously dur
ing four years of strife and carnage
inaugurated by rebels, and carried on
for the avowed and distinct purpose
of breaking up and forever destroying
the Nationality of the American peo-
pie. The issue in Kentucky is clear
and unequivocal. The most unlearned
man in the State cannot be deceived.
It is the contest of 1861 over again.
The same forces are arrayed against
each other. The same leaders are
running up and down the lines en-
couraging and directing their respec-
tive adherents. Over one party is
unfurled the glorious stars and stripes
beneath which so many heroes have
fought, died and conquered At it's
head stands Gen. HOBsoN, faithful
son of the Republic, and gallant
defender of her unity and integrity.
Over the other party flies the hated
banner of Secession and rebellion,
and its movements are directed by
Judge DUvALL, sympathizer
with every movement calculated
to break up the Government,
and a secret approver of all the hor-
rors Of Libby, Belle Isle and Ander
sonyille. On the one side are heard |
the cheering bugle calls of the Louis
vile Journal and Democrat, rallying |
the brave and the true to the defense
of their Government and State, while
opposed to them, is heard the defiant
notes of the Louisville Courier, which
in 81 did its best to force Kentucky
into an attitude of hostility to the
Government, and, through the mis-
taken kindness of our National Ex-
ecutive, has returned to renew the
contest in 1866. -
The battle between the opposing
orces promises to be vigorous, but
short. May victory, as of old, perch
lpon the flag of the freep'
On our second page, we copy a
couple of articles from the Louisville
Journal, which are indicative of the
pirit with which it goes into the
ght If every Union man in Ken
ucky is animated by the same spirit
nd zeal, secession will meet with the
7orst defeat it ever experienced in
he old Commonwealth.

The following resolutions were re
Gently adopted at meeting of the
Fenians and their friends at India
napolis;
WHEREAS, The Government of
the United States has, in the recent
attempt of the Irish nation to seize
upon the British Province of Canada,
committed itself to a line of policy
hostile to her former traditions and
acts, and against the public sentiment
of all lovers of liberal government;
AND WHEREAS, We believe that
the true sentiment of this nation is
with the Irish people, and against the
English Government, in our present
struggle;' that the sympathy of the
American people is with the down
trodden and oppressed, who have had
heaped upon them centuries of wrong
in the grinding system of English
laws; e rT
AND WHEREAS, In the recent
struggle for the life of the American
nation, we, the Irish people, have been
true and loyal to the principles of re-
despotism, aristocracy and treason,
and have on. many glorious battle
fields attested our fidelity to the ma
tional flag of our adopted country,
and of our ardent devotion to all her
interests;
AND WHEREAS, At that crisis in
our public affairs, the whole tendency
of the controlling classes of Great
Britain was against this Republic,
against its existence, against It's gal
liant and glorious efforts to maintain
itself, and in favor of its destruction;
and in consequence of such violations
of the neutrality laws practiced by
our British enemies, American COM
merce was swept from the ocean,
American ships burned, American
mails forced to be carried under
foreign flag, and helpless American
seamen and citizens in every quarter |
of the world subjected to insults, rob |
berries, murders and piracies of the |
British and British rebel cruisers,
built, armed, manned, equipped and |
sent out from British ports therefore. /
be it s
6 Resolyed, That we reprehend the
course of our Executive Government
in its interference with the Fenian |
that we regret it in its
effect as blow in favor of the corrupt
and despotic aristocracy of Great
and against Republican gov
and the general rights of
that in our opinion said
government should stand aloof and
permit the belligerents to wage war
ind make peace as they see fit, leav-
ng the result to the faith and valor of
he combatants, and the justice of
heir cause.
BE 1t further Resolued, that we
heartily indorse the action of Congress
n its sympathetic recognition of our
rue position, and in their instant and
condemnation of the atti-
ude of the Executive Department of
'ur Government in our present strug-
lie for the liberties and the existence
f the Irish nation.
ResOtUed That these resolutions be |
published in all the papers in the State
riendly to our cause, and in the Bos-
on Pilot and Irish american, and
hat a copy be forwarded to our Re
in Congress. f'a
