"DEACON BROsS SPOKE"

Thur-day, the last day of the Mercer coun
ty fair, Lieut.. Gov. Bross was present, and
in the after part of the day was introduced
to Judge Thompson by Mr.. Thornton.
After few words of introduction. Bross
introduced the subject of politics. The Judge
not thinking that the proper place to have an
impromptu political wrangle, seemed rather
inclined to change the subject of conversation
but the Deacon probably thinking be bad IAN
easy thing of it," commenced his abuse on
the iudge-full of ego.ism and with the ex-
pectation, no doubt, that he would be able to
wind the judge around his finger. but in this
he was badly mistaken, for the Judge turned
on the lieutenant governor, and in such a
sharp and effective way that Bross became
the laughing stock of the crowd. and turned
on his heel and rstreated, in q very "demor-
allied" condition, declaring be would not
talk with the judge. The lieut. gov. found
the place too hot for a radical negro worship
psring disunionist, and abandoned the field.
Judge Thompson stand square on the plank
of the Union, and will be elected over radical
AC. Harding by an overwhelming majority.

SENSIBLE SPEECH.

tract from a speech by Long John Wentworth:
'Boys, you know have been friend to the

and the white man on top Of him. tell ysu
Pm friend of the white man now. WhyE BE-
cause The ,olte man is dowa aud tie niggers on top

.DIsGRACEFUL MISREPRESENTATION,

A. G. Harding, we understand, in canvassing
for congress, represents that the rsasen the sol
diers do not get the pitiable bounty which con-
gress pretended to vote them but did not provide
the means to pay, is, that President johnson has
interposed to stop its being paid.
Now if Mr.. Harding makes such o representa-
ton one of two things IL true either he is so ig-
norant that he knows no better, and hence. makes
the statement recklessly or, he knows better
and deliberately states an untrath, hoping by
that means to impose upon the credulity OF bis
hearers and catch their votes. The statement is
absolutely false; and whether MIR. Harding
makes it from ignorance Or design, he proves
himself, in either case, to be unfit to represent
free and intelligent people. Upon tho first sup
position he Is unfit, from ignorance; upon the
second suppostion he is unit because be In not
an honest man. His friends can take either horn
of the dilemma, as best suits them. : Qaisey Her
