CREssoN, PA, Sept. 5, 1868.

DEAR ToM-Your letter Of the 3 Ist ult is
before me, and give it all the weight which
the letter of an old friend is entitled TO,
more especially as it emanates from the
Treasury Department, Second Auditor s
Office at Washington.
You desire to know my 'r' status in regard
to the selection Of Congressman in your
district.' ] can tell you that in a word, and
| thought you knew me well enough to
know it. l am a Democrat from sincere,
conscientious conviction. | never doubted
for a moment that the Democratic party
was the only organization to which the des-
tinies of this great country could be safely
conhded, and never were nay convictions on
that subject so strong as they are in the
present fearful condition Of our country.
am for Col. JOIN P. LINTON for Con-
gress, and opposed to Mr.. Morrell. Person
ally. believe Mr.. Morrell to be a clever
man. have nought to urge against him.
He has already been in Congress more than
a year and l judge him by his acts and
votes. He is in favor Of negro supremacy
l am not. He is III favor Of military gov
ernment at the South-I am in favor of
peace and union. He voted to degrade and
destroy the President of the Uujted States,
whom be helped TO elect, and whom Le
Cdll%N you anu me TRAITORS JOE opposing =
four years ago-I was and am opposed to
impeachment. He is opposed to the sue.
cess Of the Democratic party-I am in favor
Of it,
You are candid enough to let me know
your ''Stutus.' You say, "you know me to
be the friend of Mr.. Morrln I could not
be otherwise"
am sorry for you. 1t is deplorable that
a man Of your mind should place himself in
position in which he cannot exercise his
best judgment. Fortunately for myself, |
am under no personal obligations to either
candidate, and can take an impartial view
of them and their principles, which you ad
nit You cannot do. And l am sure in your
accepting place under Mr.. Morrell you have
prevented yourself from SUPP orting Col
Linton, man who, in addition to the rec
titude Of his principles, adds the the great
est parity OF character-a man who has
grown up amongst us and knows our wants
"a man who barred his bosom in the hour
Of his country's need. and bears on his pers-
on enduring marks of bravery-a man WIN
Is morally, at least. the equal of Mr.. Nor
rell, and mentally far his superior-a man
who has the advantage of Mr.. Morrell il
every qualification except those of wealth
and power.
| shall present your "warmest regards
ooh. how warm they are to Sheriff Dur
bin, and You can rest assured that he will
be found where l am, and where you were
IN better days. Your former friend,
NJ. NJ. ADAMS.

How Do YOU LIKE IT Tf-In order to
give the honest men who are bliadly fH-
lowing the lead of the Radicals, an flea q
the doipgs of the carpet baggers in the
South, we give the following extract from
a harangue Of Massachusetts negro,
named Elliott, now a member o. the
South Carolina Legislature. The speech
was delivered at Radical meeting held
at Sumter, on the oath nit at which
speeches containing sentimeats equally as
incendiary in their character were de-
livered by two other colored members of
the Legislature, both from Massachusetts,,
and one Of them a pretended preacher.
Speaking of the Democrats, Elliott said {:
"Let me tell you, the best thing you can
do is to kill them. and when You bury theR,
want you to bury them wita their faces
downwarls, and 50 deep that when the arch
angels trumpet shall blow and all the dead
arise. they won't rise TO blast dswither
God's creation, but will go on. down. down,
down."
Farmers, mechanics, working men,
tiose of you who are supporting the Raids
cal party, how do you like such co-labor-
eEs :! Can anything good come out Of
incendiary language like this?

In 1861, Colonel u. S. Grant wrote to
friend: 81 am Democrat every man
IN my regiment is Democrat, and when
| shall be convinced that this war has for
It's object any other than what l have
mentioned, or the government designs
using its soldiers to execute the purposes
of the abolitionists, pledge you my hon.
or as soldier that l will carry my sword
on the other side and cast my lot with the
Southern people," The soldiers were used
to execute the purposes of the abolitionists,
and the Radical party are doing their bid
ding at the present time ''outside of the
Constitution" yet General Grant has
broken his pledge of honor as soldier, is
the candidate of that party for the Presi-
dency, and has no policy to put in oppo-
sition TO that of Congress. Is such man
worthy of support

The Radicals are not quite so jubi-
liant over the Vermont election as they
were day or two ago. Later and more
definite returns reduce their majority con-
siderably below the first reports, while they
show vast increase in the Democratic
vote. The same ratio of increase will
give every important Northern State to
the Democrats.

corn IN Iowa has grown so tall this sums

the tassels Of the stalks.

If ever The burden Of cur national debt
