nj. A. o. PACKARD is advertised BY
the Chairman of the County Central
Committee of Vanderburgh, as the
next Democratic speaker in this city,
with the endorsement that he IS one
Of the most eloquent and etfectlve
Democratic speakers of the day.
This gentleman, now candidate Oh
the Democratic State ticket. made
some " effective speeches during the
war. In his stumping tour over the
State. we understand he has much to
say by way of exhortation and
kindness to the soldiers. By way of
introduction to the distinguished gen.
tlemau, we give the following extract,
giving his views upon the war and
the soldiers, in the House of Repre-
sentatives of Indiana, February l,

justify all the South mad done; but
who can expect people in a revolu-
ton to observe the laws. The
grievances of the South have be-
come intolerable, and, as in our revo-
Iutionary struggle, they had right
to demand another government. Lee
gally they could not revolutionize,
but the Republicans, who have caused
all the difficulties, have no reason to
complain of their own acts. They
haze elected to the Presidency man

of tie South.
Bur NOW THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE GROWN BELLIGERENT; THEY
