A Contrast.

Mr.. HENDRICKS, who is to address
the Democracy of Evansville next
week, will doubtless have some honied
words for the soldiers of the
Union army. During the war, when
they needed aid and encouragement,
Mr.. HENDRICKS was not forward in
using his eloquence to reinforce them,
or remarkably liberal in contributing
of his abundant meaLs to their relief
yet to his credit, be it said, he did
something. In looking over the report
of the Indiana Sanitary Commission,
we find on page p, the following ac-
acknowledgements, placed side by side,
in the receipts for 862:
Hon. s. Colfax, Washington, d. c., 500 o.
Hon. j. a Wright, do do. 100 o.
Hon. Henry >. Lane, do do...... 100 o
Hon. L. a. Hendricks, Indianapolis 10 o.
1t is true that THOMAS A. HEN
BRICKS is a man ofwealth, one of the
leading owners of a National Bank
and able ten times over to match the
slender possessions of Speaker Col
FAX and Elk Governor WRIGHT, and
might possibly have given moro with
out causing his family to suffer, if his
heart had sympathized very strongly
with the soldiers; but then the Boys
in Blue ought to be than kful for that
ten dollar contribution.

Mr.. SEYMOUR appeals to "Conser,
natives of all parties to rally for a
change in the Government. Saying
nothing about the modesty Of Mr..
SEYMOUR. we venture to say that the
company into which he proposes to
introduce the aforesaid Conservatives
Is not such as they would be inclined
to select for themselves. For in
stance, SglIMEs, the Pirate; FORREST,
hero of Fort Pillow; HAMPTON, who
boasts he never surrendered; WISE,
who says that secession is as alive as
ever; VANCE, who declares that by
electiug SEYMOUR and BLAIR, every
thing will be won for which the South
fought, although very earnest men.
Conservatives who were not openly
for secession, may not regard as mod
ell reformers, or just the best possible
custodians of the Government at this
iuncture of affairs. These distin-
guished reformers have taken the
lead of the Democratic party. He
must be very rank Conservative, in
deed, who will follow, let Mr.. SEY-
MoUR appeal never so strongly.

THERE is no respectable Republi-
can paper in the State of Indiana that
will not bear testimony to the invari-
able courtesy which the Courier has
exhibited toward its contemporaries
of the press. To such an extreme have
we carried this devotion to the pro-
prieties of journalism, that we have
foreborne, even when wantonly and
unscrupulously attacked. to respond
in terms which the facts in the case
would justify. In reply, therefore, to
the attack recently made upon US by
the indianapolis Journal and approx
ingly republished by its Evansville
namesake, we have merely to say that
while it does not afford conclusive
evidence that the Courier is either
"idiotic or mean." it does afford
a fair presumption that our courteous

sort of Republicanism is that which

good a man as Sheridan, and a better

tend to say than Hampton is inferior

we present them with confidence to

Here are our trophies. They are

canvass of the State by Governor

The facts are that Senator HENDRICKS

had granted his father special privi-
