A Thrust ut the Republican Part,

The New York Sun (Ind) without
naming the Republican party makes
this thrust at it: 4
Some people seem to be constitution
ally unable to comprehend that the
real strength and wealth of nation
lies in its laboring men. We could bet
ter afford to lose million of dollars in
gold than to part with hundred labor
ers, no matter how ignorant and unskill,
full.
And yet the main plank of the Re-
publican platform affirms that it is
right to compel the toiling masses OF
the people to pay all the taxes and re-
ceive a deprecated paper currency for
their labor, that the holders of United
States bonds may be paid in gold and
60 exempt of taxation! That is the
financial plank of the Republican plat
form-that is the avowed policy of the
Republican party.

nient, the Delegates be choSed by Town

1t Is also recommended that
The Delegates from the First and Sec
urd Congressional Districts in attend
aurr upou the State Convention nomi-
nate a Congressional candidate and n
Presidential electOr for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
rrmuteHrSs, some Of the counties of the
Third Congressional District may not

Committee To leave the selection of the
time and place for making their Con-
grrssional and Electoral nominations
entirely TO the discretion of the Demo
cratic and Conservative voters of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives!
Your political brethren in all parts OF
the country where elections have been
held within the last twelve months,
have achieved magnificent victories.
The great reaction which is to redeem
the nation from tyranny and misrnle
A?s fairly set in. In other States, its
progress is irresistible. Let us, too,
press forward in the work OF
redemption. Not one moment
should he lust-no exertion spared.
County, Township and School District
organizations should at ONCE be COM
plrted, and every man who can be
moved to espouse the right, should be ap-
preached, informed and melted to ac-
'ion. The work is in your hands. IT
You are true TO yourselves, your State
and your country, you cannot fail.
Success will crown your efforts, and the
blessings of good Government, so long
unknown in West Virginia, will once
more bring to her people peace, prosper
~ aud happiness. q

Tennessee Democratic Convention

NASHVILLE, June 2.-The Democratic
Convention met in Nashville. Hon.
Neill S. Brown was chosen President
and spoke at length. Hon. II. s. Foote
offered resolutions, which were adopted.
They declare that is the duty of the
true friends of constitutional liberty
to support the Democratic cause; that
the purposes and principles of Radical
ism are incompatible with our free in
stitutions; that the late war originated
in the prevalence of extreme opinions
and disregard of the line of demarca-
tion between the Federal Constitution
and the reserved rights of the States
and people, and that to restore the
Government to the Democracy is the
proper way to secure a return to the
admirable system of checks and balances
formerly existing; that the Convention
have confidence in the National Con-
ventisn to meet on the 4th of July, both
as to the candidates and the platform,
and therefore express no opinion
as to either; that the Chicago
platform proposes to establish a per-
manent inequality of rights between
the Southern and Northern States which
cannot be maintained except by mill
tary despotism; that the reconstruction
laws of Congress, if enforced, and if an
election for President takes place in the
Southern States, it would be a shame
and a mockery not entitled to the
smallest respect, and should not be al
lowed to affect the result Of the contest;
that the five-twenties and bonds bear.
ing interest in currency should be paid
lin greenbscks; that the wrongs of the
ldisfraHchised in Tennessee should be
laid before the National Convention;
4 that the Democracy symPathise with
President johnson and regard his ac-
ouittal as a great and signal triumph of
principle. This declaration of princi-
ple is the keynote of the Democratic
canvass in Tennessee. .s

Mr.. EDITOR AS suffering humanity is al
ways anxious to know, when relief can be
found, and none more than those who are
afflicted with disease of the eyes, take
pleasure in adding one Testimony more to the
many, to the efficacy of 'Pettit's Eye SaIve."
SHAGAHANPoRE, india, Oct. 501S67.
Dear Father-As the Missionaries as well as
the inhabitants of this country are very sub
ject to "Opthalmia" they have of course en-
deavored to obtain the best remedy for the
Diseases and in their searches haYe found none
equal to ''Pettits Celebrated American Eye
Salve.''
"As we are suffering from opthalmia, you
will please forward us Box of the Salve, inn
mediately by mail as the supply is out in this
section.
Mr.. Pettit's generous offer to supply the
Mission with his Eye Salye' free of
charge" is an act of benevolence beyond our
most sanguine expectations, but viii be a
great boon not only to the Missionaries and
their children, but also to the children of the
orphan ages. Every season, at least one
third, of them suffer from that dreadful dis
ease.
You will please convey to Mr.. Petit the
heartfelt gratitude of multitudes who are the
benefciaris of his generosity"
| Affectionately
Your DAUGHTER

Personal.

Our former fellow citizen, t. II. Head esq.
now superintendent of Indian Affairs in Utah
arrived here last week, on a short visit to his
friends. The climate of Utah appears to
agree well with him he is in the enjoyment
ofmost excellent health. He speaks Of Salt
Lake City as being delightfully."- situated, and
alTording climate of surprising salubrity.
The Indians in Utah territory, are now all
peaceably disposed and Mr., Head intends the
coming season, to make strong effort to turn
their attention to agriculture, and other civil
liked pursuits.
We are also gratiied to learn from Mr..
Head, that Governor Durkee of Utah, Corner
ly respected townsman of this place. is
much improved in health, since his residence
in Utah. He had for some years. during his
residence here, been afflicted with rheuma-
tism, from which he has now almost entirely
recovered

Singular Suicide.

GIngul&r ou1ClQ6i
A German residing in the family of Mr..
William Kueman, half mile south of Paris
corners in this county, committed suicide on
Sunday last, by drowning himself in well.
The well was about six feet from the top, in
which there was less than two feet of water.
The cold weather had frozen the we'll over
some weeks ago, and hole had been cut
through the ice of sufficient size to admit
water pail. The hole through the ice not be-
ing large enough to allow the body of man,
it appears that on Sunday morning, the self
destroyer cut the hole of sufficient size and
shape to permit his shoulders to pass through.
After doing this he drew a pail of water and
carried it into the house the water in the
pail was noticed to be riled, and large pieces
Office in it. During the morning, he inquired
of Mrs. Kuemen a number of times, if she in
tended going to church, and appeared rather
anxious she should do so. After Mrs. X. had
left for church, he sat for half an hour CONVEX
sing freely with Mr.. Kueman, and then left
the house. The weather being cold, and his
absence continued for some time, Mr.. K. went
out to ascertain his whereabouts on happen
ing to look into the well, he at once discov-
cred the object Of his search. 1t is thought
the body had been in the well three fourths of
an hour, before it was discovered. OF course
life had long been extinct. The man had pre-
yiously exhibited symptoms of an unsound
mind he was over forty years of age and had
no family.

Church Improvement.

The Baptist Society in this city, are making
some very desirable improvements in their
church edifce. A new pulpit is being con-
structed, to take the place of the old one,
which will be more modern in style The
gallery formerly occupied by the choir, is be-
ing partitioned off into separate apartment
to be used as church session room. A plat
form slightly raised from the ground floor,
at the end of the audience room opposite
the pulpit, will be modernized in appearance,
and it's conveniences added to.
Rev. MIR. Taylor, who now supplies the
church, has the reputation of being a young
man of talent, and the church and society are
unanimous in their choice of him for their
paster.

A Large Improvement.

A Large Improvement.
We were shown yesterday by G. NJ. CHS
holm (ArchitecD the plan ola new building,
the erection of which is to be commenced by
Mayor Petit, early the coming spring. The
building will be on the corner of Chicago and
Wisconsin streets; it will have front on
Chicago street of one hundred and fifty feet, its
depth serenty eight feet. There will be a base
ment under the entire building, the walls to
be Lockport, H., stone. The edifice will be
three stories high above the basement built
OF brick; embellished with three projecting
towers on the east front The Soutb front
will also display three projecting towers. The
windows are to be in latest style of western
architecture. A half million Of brick will
be required for the walls and nearly omar
ter of a million feet of timber and lumber 10
finish it. The brick, lumber, stone, glass, and
much of other material, have already been
purchased, so that the enterprise spoken of is
not mythical, but a fixed fact.
This building is to be built by Mayor Petit
for Malt House. He has been engaged in
the business of mailing in this place for some
years past, and has evidently made it a pecu
mary success. The building now to be erect
ed, will have the capacity for mailing 100, COX
bushels of barley annually. The undertaking
of so expensive a work is simply proof, tina
our business men are not deferred from tn,
Investment Of capital here, notwithstandin:
all that has been said about the want of con
hdence in the future of our city.
1he plan contemplates, larger and NOR
expensive edifee, than we have now in tn
city.
