silver watch from him. She then caus-
ed the arrest of another of her lovers
Charles Bleil, on charge OF stealing said
property. Bleil made a counter-charge
alleging that she gave it to him, general

is unable to end the bail required for their

justice would only be satisfied, all the par

AWNESTH.

On the first page of this paper will be
found the presidents proclamation of gen.
eral amnesty We invite the attention Of
our readers to this document as one of the
most important events of the day. 1t il
an act of simple justice and right, but one
requiring great frmness in the president
to issue. The Jacobins in congress thirst
ing for revenge and an extension of their
power, have by unconstitutional laws at
tempted to disfranchise, plumber and de.
base the people Of the south for a genera
ton at least, and so effectively have their
acts been obeyed by their willing military
tools, that the whole southern people have
been bound down to servitude unequalled
in the annals of history.
President johnson has virtually strick-
en- off their shackles. While Abraham
Lincoln is canonized by the Jacobins for
emar cipating four million negro slaves
President johnson is cursed beyond de-
gree for freeing from worse bondage eight
million of whites. 1t will require some
time for the people of the south to reap
the full benefit of the amnesty granted
them, but they can now see CLEAN of
light, and feel once more that they are
freemen.

THE PLATFORM.

The following is the platform adopted
By the national democratic convention
1t is eminently sound and will be cordially
endorsed by every democrat and all other
sensible men.
Up to time of going to press no choice
has been made, and there are no psoitive
indications as to who will be the nominee
The democratic party, in national con-
vention assembled, reposing its trust in
the intelligence, pa triotism, and discrimi
mating justice Of the people, stands upon
the constitution as the foundation and lin.
itation of tho,power of tho government
and the guarantee of the liberty of the cit
izen and recognizing the questions Of
slavery and secession as having been set
tied for all time to come by the war, OIL
the voluntary action of the southern states
in constitutional conventions assembled
and never to be renewed or regulated, do
with the return Of peace demand
l. The immediate restoration Of all the
states to their rights in the union under
the constitution of civil government, and
the American people.
2. Amnesty for all past political often
ces, and the regulation Of tho elective
franchise in the states by the citizens.
B. The payment of the public debt Of
the United States as rapidly as practical
blo,-all money drawn from the people by
taxation, except so much as is requisite fol
the necessities Of the government, oconom
ically administered, being honestly applied
to such payment--and, when the obliga
tions of the government do not expressly
state upon their face, or .thc law unde,
which they ware Issued does not provide
that they shall be paid in coin, they ough
in right and justice, be paid in the Lawful
money of the United States. Thunder
of applause

THE prophecies of the radical leaders,
both great and small, that the national
convention would fail TO adopt what is gen.
orally known as the greenback platform,
appear to have approximated about as
near the truth as radical prophecies gen.
orally do. From the assembling of the
convention until the present writing, eve
ry proposition brought before the conven-
ton, looking to uniform currency for
the whole country (bondholder's not ex-
cepted), was received with the most posi-
tive marks of appreciation A man who
will, at this time. argue in favor Of paying
bondholders in gold, and all other credit
ors in greenbacks, is no more democrat
than the veriest radical in the country.
Such man is fit only to be a member of
the party which gives the ballot to igno-
rant negroes, and excludes it from intelli-
gent white men, for whom the government
was made. The democracy have under
taken to right some of the gigantic wrongs
with which the people have been oppress-
ed by the abolition party, and to prevent
the contamination of the outrages on
liberty and justice which that party now
contemplate, --and, by the aid of the tax
ridden, outraged and insulted victims of
the reigning military dynasty, will accom-
|plish what they have undertaken. Such
a revolution in the feelings and purposes
of the people, relative to the usurpations,
injustice and high-handed tyranny which
have been the distinguishing features of
black republican rule, has never before
occurred in the political history of the
country 1t is with fear and trembling
that the doors of iniquity view the gath
ering storm of public indignation. which
shall sweep tn EN- from the places they
have disgraced, and from the presence of
people they have so foully wronged.
This is no time for ancient croakers,
greedy bondholders, or aristecratic apollo
gists. The democracy present live issues
and live men, and are alive to the great
responsibility which attaches to their or
ganization as being the champion Of the
constitution, end the rights of citizens and
states which have been held sacred under
democratic rule. All pampered govern
ment pets,--all women-hangers, spoon
thieves and ACKNOWLEDGMENT who
uphold the infamy of elevating negroes to
the control of sovereign states in order to
perpetuate their own usurped power
must stand aside for the advancing and
steadily increasing column of those who
have resolved that this government, being
good in name, shall be good in deed. So

DEW1RE Of BRIBES.

In behalf of the Jacobin lambs herea-

are not perfectly conscious of their own
integrity and "loilty" to beware OF being
bribed by some wicked copperhead; and
to all such the further advice that il
they find their flesh too weak to resist the
Establishments of the aforesaid copper
heads, to be rery careful and not sell too
cheap.
We see by the last Republican that some
democrat has been Offering some suscepti-

THE BEER GARDEN.

The pious "loyalists in this..vicinity
are becoming considerably exercised over
the fact that a beer garden has been es-
tablished near our town, and that quite 9

to the morality Of the act.

it is very fair average plan for every

N. Y. Times (radicaD of July 1st:
There was something rather too seriou:
for congressional daughter" in the re-
marks of Messrs. Washburne and Gar.
field yesterday, when the former moved an
adjournment on the 18th Of July. Mr.
Washburne said he desired an adjourn
ment at the earliest possible moment, for
if they went at the rate they were going
the government would have neither mon
ey nor credit left. Laughter Mr.
Garfield remarked that the government,
had lost its credit yesterday when the vote
for taxing the interest on United States
bonds, had lost its money to-day by the
passage of the river and harbor bill
Laughter In course of time members
of congress will probably get over laugh

teress and credit.
1t seems an allusion to the immense
sums of money recently appropriated by
congress for the purpose of improving
rivers and harbors, even though made by
Jacobin, in all seriousness, is thought to
be merely q subject for laughter and de-
ris;on. When thieying appropriations
become so palpable and outrageous as tc
force protest from a Jacobin, even, he
merely gets laughed at for his seruples.
The radical Times well SAYS to its
friends, "that in course of time members
of congress will get over laughing at the
prostration of the country's interest and
credit"
We do not expect the members of the
present congress will "get over laughing
when rebuked for their knavery and thiev.
ing, until the people rebukc them and
bury them SO deep in infamous obscurity
that their laughing can no longer be heard
SO long as they can fatten on the vitals Of
the land, so long will they laugh at the
calamities Of the nation. But when the
people become aroused, and hurl their un-
faithful servants from power, then will
their laughter be turned to "wceping and
crashing of teeth"
Millions of dollars voted away to i'm
provo rivers and harbors, for the real pur-
pose of buying up congressional districts,
must be accounted for to the people, whose
money is paid to further these infamous
schemes. While the land groans with
over-taxation, and is almost prosteated
with the public debt piled mountain high,
forsooth, money must be given free as
water to make harbor here, bridge
there, On arsenal elsewhere, and canal
where some villainous lobbyist may direct.
or for river impr ovement some specula-
tive congressman may have an interest in.
Tniquity must be piled upon injustice
until the last dollar is wrnng from the
toiler's wcaried fingers, and then the
" laugh comes ill.,"
When congressional knavery is carried
on with SO high and fearless hand that
even jealous radical congressman and
journalists are constrained to raise a cry
of warning and rebuke publicly, then may
the people well inquire if "this thing has
not gone on about long enough"

Several taxpayers Of our county have
inquired of US recently who owns the can
non now located in Plymouth ? We have
heard it intimated that it belongs to the
govern ment, but think that this cannot
be thus, for if it were the g1n should no
be here, in the first place. and if here, one
citizen would have the same claim to i
that another has. Can our neighbor over
the way give us little light on Thu
subject?

CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.
CHICAGO, July, 9th, 1868.

CHICAGO, July, 9th, 1868.
Providence is especially kind to Chica-
90. Other cities, less favored, have rec
ognized seasons of heat and cold (; they
possess the sameness or rather systemat-
ic progression of temperatures by which
they are condemned as slaves to their par
ticular attitudes. Chicago, however, has
no such responsibilities. She gravitates,
from day to day, from torrid to frigid, CIV
ing us the most charmingly rapid success
sion of all the degrees from furnace heat
to ice-house cold, in variety enough to
suit the most widely diversified habits
and tastes. The Fourth of July, for in
stance, was the hottest day we have had
for fourteen years. In the shade the mer-
curry stood at 103, and for short time in
the afternoon, 104. The next day, there
was strong breeze, cool and refreshing,
and whereas on the day preceding, linen,
ice-water and fans were unavailing, few
hours had made black suits quite comfort
able. The thermometer did not indeed
indicate above so. To-day again, the sue
glares with fiercest heat, the wind is dead
and all human energy is weakened. In
such weather, oEly very urgent reasons

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Jap. Packard, the Jacobin candidate for
congress in this district, is so little known
in this vicinity that we deem it duty we
owe our readers to try aud present them
an outline biographical sketch of him.
There is exceedingly little of him, there
fore We cannot present much of a sketch
che subject is All uncommonly stupid one,
and we apologize in advance. The sub
ject was brought TO light some place here
abouts, it is said although from his char
acteristics one would say he must have
been born and reared in Pedunck, Yer
mont, surrounded by Yankees Of the
meanest type. Receiving fair education.
he was presumed by his partial friends to
be equal to the legal profession, but after
starving at that for several years the war
fortunately opened field in which he
could at least Lively an exercise of prop
er caution-and at the same time furnish
ed him an opportunity Of gratifying his
malignant hate Of the south and southern
institutions. We have no record of his
" achievements in the army. We believe
his most intimate friends are equally un-
Fortunate. But the fact that lie had been
in the army, served his turn; and by cir
culatiDg it widely, and by most unblusbing
fraud, on his return home, he procured the
nomination TO some county Office in La
Porte, on the radical ticket, and was,
consequently. elected. Personally lie is
as pompous and conceited an ass as ever
brayed. With less real worth and ability
than the average of mankind, he has more
assurance and egotism than we ever be-
fore saw combined. He is truly a brain
less brawler, who wearies even the craziest
JacObins with his incessant clamor of
traitor" "rebel," "the loyal heart"
" brave boys" (of which he is one) " glo-
rious principles" an so on eternalIy.
Without an idea in his head, he will ex-
haust the most patient with repeating his
rounde' senseless phrases. Politically he
is thorough Jacobin, regular Puritan,
who who would tolerate no ideas but his
own, were he all-powerful. A religious
fanatic; temperance fanatic; jealous
advocate heretofore IN private life, Of
negro suffrage and the perfect equality of
the races; he is fit representative of the
party of "God and humanity" A man
entertaining more damnable doctrines, and
ideas so thoroughly in conflict with the
western sentiment, We opine, was never
before candidate for the votes of western
men.
Socially, We don't know the man and
don't want to. A transaction in which he
was an active party several years ago, and
by means of which many heart-aches and
much misery was occasioDed; which
transaction related to then prominent
citizen of our place, prejudiced us SO
thoroughly against the now congressional
candidate that we have never had a desire
to know him personally
We have no apprehension as to tho
result of his congressional aspirations.
Blind as political prejudices make men,
We cannot think the intelligent voters of
this district desire to'bc represented by
Jap. Packard, man without brains and
without integrity.
