attempt to report the remarks made. rs
pretty much the same speakers addressed
this meeting that addressed the last one,
yet we saw. or tnou Int we SAM an impruy-
ed tone in the speeches made.
We. right here, are tempted TO put in Il
plea for Ellsworth. That there is drunk
enness, plenty of it in town, and Il super
abundance of p or stuff sold. called rum,
gin, wliskey. &C., we have no doubt. and
that he amount sold, daily. may foot up

The Presidents Message.

President JohnSOn's lat Message, out
side of Congress. which manifested some
feeling on its being read, does not disturb
the public mind to any appreciabts sX-
tent. We have not ~ yet seen the hrst
man, woman or child that has read II
through. No one seems to care apo"t It's
recommendations, or denunciations; ana
mrst every one seemed to understand that
1t would be nothing more nor less Than e
rehash of his previous messages, or
rsstatement Of all his former views anu
auimositis,, with whatever added disturb
ances Of his mind the recent emphatic VIII
of the people, in slseting General Grant
to the Presidency may have occasioned.
The President does not have the best OF
feeling towards the newly elected Fse'b
dent, and thersfore cannot be IN "a frame
of mind TO look over the state Of the Union
with the eye Of philosopher. He knew
quite well that il the hot headed aud Dad
blooded Southern men who drove the South
into rebellion could all vote, and II Their
would decide the election. thai Gen. Grant
would not be the next President. thei efore
he did not and does not like the recon.
struction acts OF Congress. So IN the
third line OF the message. Congress Is
MAINLY told that the Union is in u disor-
yanized condition under ths various laws
which have been passed on the bjeet OF
r.,onstruction. +" But why should we go
into details. 1t would be dry reading. and
we should have to occupy space that Is
needed for other mattrr. 1t was commu-
nicated to both branches OF Congress on
"Wednesday last week. The Democrats

Don't Do 1t.

The Democracy are dropping
everything else, and working
to defeat Capt. Wilson for Con-
gress. Lies without number
are afoat about him, circulated
as privately as possible, and
only in such places as they
think will be effective, Do not
believe these stories. If there
was a shadow of truth in them
they would not sneak around
back alleys and dark places to
tell them. .s..
Do not trade with them.-
They expect by sacrificing ev'
erythfng else to elect DR.. Sanns
to Congress. They know that
if they are unable to stir up a
strife among us we will elect
every man on our ticket this
fall. Be not deceived. They
want you to trade the most i'm.
portant office on the ticket for
nothing at ali. They will offer
to vote for Grant if you will
vote for Sanns; but under pre-
tense of keeping their word
they will scratch Seymour's
name, and at the same time
vote for him by voting for ey-
cry one of the Seymour Elec-
tors.
