OilH.Gammon Hendricks.
From Townsend's Letter to the CIevela
Leader


From Townsend's Letter to the Cleveland
Leader.
Smooth as a tale of flowing well
is Senator Hendricks, Belmont's man.
Well has the Democratic party got
itself into position when an adven-
turer like Belmont, with only the
limp of Thaddeus Stevens and only
the one curl of Benjamin Disraeli,
has become autoerat Of the party
founded by Thomas Jefferson. Then
it was the party of the young nation,
the hopeful and victorious represen-
tative of our untold destinies. Its
pulse was quick to the wrongs of the
bondmen and the poor everywhere.
Great men were its marshals, and on
its banners were written no such mis-
cradle devices as This is a White
Mans country or We want man
that will win!" Now the poor and
hungry residue of it is managed over
a brokers' counter by the commercial
traveller of the Rothschilds, and this
is the reason that the New York
World keeps up the clatter about
Grants order Diminishing the jews
from his camps. He riddled the body
of Belmont right therel
Senator Hendricks is said to be
right on the bond question; but who
knows when it will be Belmont's in
terest to have him wrong2 Senator
Hendricks is a composed, discreet,
orthodox, yigilant man. His mouth
is full of honey, and you cannot hear
the bees buzz when he speaks. He
has be autiful auburn hair, and will be
presumed to get the full red headed
vote of the country. His exterior is
sand-papered to rid him of any lido
syncraeies, and he can construct a
syllogysm upon three falsehoods, out
of whose moral lessons he will make
you weep.
Once in Lake County, Indiana, a
gentleman informs me, Hendricks was
melting butter over an audience,
when, seeing Colfax In the back part
of the Court House, he addressed
| him, saying: see before me your
distinguished fellow-citizen, Speaker
COlfax. 1t l am wrong in these posi-
tons, let him correct mel
Hendricks knew that Colfax made
| it common to attend the meetings
| ply. AT this time Hendricks was
pushing an argument along upon the
rollers of fabricated statistics. See
ing, as he supposed, that Colfax said
nothing, Hendricks continued to move
on his fictitious edifice, and again APP
pealed to Colfax.
Then said Colfax, semper parat,te:
/" If my friend thinks that by my
silence l assent to his figures, he i
altogether wrong. And | have the
official statistics in print in my
pocket"
Which he proceeded to read
whereby it was demonstrated that the
speech of Hendricks, like the system
of Panthe ism of Spinosa. was reared
upon altogether manufactured defni
tions.

Yesterdays Courier, in giving the
allowance made me by the County

same reaching back to June 1867.

its political capital.

In the First District many sensible
Democrats are urging the nomination
of Col. T. J. De La Hunt for the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
Col. De La Hunt is the editor of the
Cannelton Reporter. and was among
Tndiana's most gallant officers during
the war; which, we aPprehend, will
be sufficient to defeat his nomination.
The Democracy want no such candi-
dates-the Sons of Liberty, who con-
troll the conventions of the party,
having long ago resolved that only
those loyal to the " Lost Cause

cratic principle, and fit candidates in
strongly Democratic counties and dis
tricts. The gallant Col. De La Hunt

encouraged, perhaps, by the propen-

" Jethro L. Kippins, of Alexander

ThOs 8. Petit, of Greensboro. has
been confirmed Assessor without q
dissenting vote, a compliment to
McCreery' s generality.-.SDecIdl to the
Louisville Courier
From the above it will be seen that
Thos. S. Petit, of this paper, has
been appointed u. S. Assessor for this,
the Second District, and will proba-
bly, enter upon his duties the current
week, and while he will strive to dis
charge its duties with fidelity to the
Government, it will also be his pur-
pose to merit the good opinion Of his
fellow eitizens-0loensborO { Ky.) Mon
it0r
Mr.. PETIT is the editor of the
Monitor, the Democratic organ of
Daviess County. but personally a very
PLEASANT and competent gentleman,
IF it is the policy of the Senate to
confirm the nominations of Kentucky
Democrats, which we very much
doubt, the office could have been be-
slowed upon no more worthy individ-
ual than Mr.. PETIT.
The Monitor has been guilty of say
ing some very naughty things about
the Radical Rump Congress. 1t is
reasonable to hope that it will go
slow" hereafter, or when it does as
sault the wicked Congressional Radi.
Gals, it will except the obliging Re.
publican Senators who compli
mented" Mr.. MCCREERY by such &
| substantial favor to his friend PETIT.
