BOURBON CoRREsP oNDENCE.

BOURBON, July 81, iSGt.
EDS DEMOCRAT:
In looking over the published proceedings
0fthe Republican convention held at Plvm-
outh, July 25th. notice several items which
will he interesting to your Bourbon readers
The chair having announced the conven
ton organized and ready for business, on mo
ton committee on resolutions, consisting oil
one from each township, WAS appointed by
the convention"
After some discussion upon different no
tions" the committee or resolutions re enter
ed the ball, and by is chairman, Hon. jaime,
q. Parks, announced its readiness to report
The reading OF the resolutions having been
ci,llcc for. Mr.. Parks handed them to the Sec
tary who proceeded to read them"
\ GOOD many persons here are curious e.
know whether Mr.. Parks really did get vi,
the resolutions, and # so about how long il
took him to study them out The whereaSes
and resolutions are what might be called
very heavy
The first whereas" desires to adopt reso-
lutions.
There is nothing wrong in this The re-
publican resolutions at Warsaw published in
the Indianian OF the 18th, did the same thing
The second whereas desires Ito define
their position
so did the second Warsaw ''1vhereas''
The first resolve expresses their grateful
thanks for numerous things.
SO did the first Warsaw resolve
The second resolve is like unto the second
Warsaw resolve. 1t is particularly severe ON
"copperheads, traitors dc, and Incorporates
a portion of resolve from the national dem
ocratic resolutions Of two years ago,-as fol
lows.
AFTER four years of failure to restore The
tnIon BY the experiment Nf war Justice hu-
manity and expediency demand the iremedi-
ate cessation ofhostilities."
James must have forgotten himself or he
would have stricken that out Of the Warsaw
resolutions lie believes the experiment Of
war failed To restore the [ nion," and that the
restoration can only be accomplished by the
radical plan oldcclaring all the States lately in
rebellion territories and admit them as States
only when the people thereof shall make such
laws as shall suit the radical a5olitionisls of
the north.
The balance ofthe resolutions are about the
same the Warsaw resolutions, except the
one endorsing COlfiX instead of Defrces.
As Mr. Parks had copied the resolutions be-
fore leaving Bourbon, for the purpose fact
ing ms chairman of the committee on resOu-
tons, the other c0mmittcernen supposed them
to be the offspring of SIR. Parks fruitful brain,
and sanctioned them without question.
ihc halotting for candidates shows that
Anderson Yost was too much for DR. Manvlle
of this place, notwithstanding the DR. blcd for
his couniry-or bled his country-a short
time during the war. But then to keep Bour
bon on the right side upon motion J ohm w
Thomas vas nominated for coroner 10y accla-
nation But the only realization John will
ever have of the duties OfcOrOncr, will be the
opportunity he will have to hold an inquest
over the dead carcass of the abolition party
next October
a little further on it is said that delegates
were appointed to the representative convcn-
ton, and although We have looked over the
list of Bourbon delegates several times, we
have been unable to discover the name Of T.
j. Beck, editor Of the Indtpsdent ffess
What can be the meaning ofall this? And
then little farther on it is said "the following
gentlemen were appointed members of the
Central Committee:
Bourbon-Matt. Erwin, j. O. Parks, Il. d.
Bolton
Mr.. Beck being the editor Of the abolition
organ of this township, was Justly entitled &c
a prominent place in the Central Committee
1t is known, however, that the Independent
man and "Cbristodoro' OF your place have
been at swords points for some time-eacl
jealous of the other, and it supposed the old
gentleman thought while he had an opportu-
nifty he would snub his Bourbon neighbor by
figuring" him out Of any prominece in the
party.
