Our prospects in Old Spencer ere
becoming brighter and brighter every
day We have good healthy orgaai
cations in every township, aud the
work goes braVely on. The county IL
being most thoroughly eanyassed BY
eloquent and powerful speakers, aud
the people seem never tired Of listen
Ing, bat still continue TO furnish large
audiences at all Of our appointments,
while the DemiiobnoeFaey can scarce
~ get e0rporal's guard Of their own
party 10 listen 10 the dolofons whin-
ings OF lying misrepresentation Of
the political hacks who have hereto
fore stuffed them 10 repletion, But
things Is workin'" The Copper
heads have opened their eyes wide
enough 81 read the handwriting on
the wall they know their doom IL
sealed, aud their eounteBapees are
lengthening out to suit their pros
peotiye condition, Republicans are
jubilant at the prospect Of our certain
success, but will relax none Of their
efforts IN fact, II Is only stimulus
TO renewed e9ertipn to make cur vic
tory as complete aud triumphant as
possible, There is more earnestness
aud zeal and better directed effort
among the working men Of our party
here than have ever Witnessed be
fore, and the results may be ealou-
lated accordingly, "
Every one seems 10 realize the fact
that the great day of peril Is upon as,
that our country Is now, to-day, In
greater danger from the Vaccinations
of its enemies than ever before, not
even excepting the darkest days Of
the rebellion. Each and every one
who pauses 20 reflect must feel, and
doubtless does feel, that he has an m
diyidual rick in tbs prosperity and
parpetuity of tho Government, which
Is now sought 10 be snbYarted and
overthrow by the wIles and intrig'ies
Of political ahieanery, Well may il be
said that we have fallen upon evil
times. when we SEQ body, of men
protesting to be loyal, many Of them
holding high POSITIONS IN the Union
army, assembled together IN ConyenT
ton. A. at Cleveland, for no otherpurr
pose than TO give expression 10 their
opinions, greeting with enthusiastic
ehears the name of General Forrest,
with all the horrors Of the Fort Pillow
massacre fresh IN the minds Of all
loyal people, The craven soul that Is
not filled with Indignation at such o
spectacle, does not deserve to enjoy
the blessings Of life and liberty. All
true men, while they lament such an
exhibition Of trueulenoy 10 the arch
flenda Of the South, will also rec the
necessity of increased exertion on
our part to avert the danger TO be mp.
pretended from that source.
II tho people in other parts Of the
District are az wide awake and as de-
| tefnihed to dc their whole duty as
