GEN. GRANTS TOUR.
The General Struck in the Face by
Lsader of Gopperhead Mob a.
Carlineville, Illinois.

Carlinevtlle; Illinois.
,tFTOm ne springhsl5 Gnl journal, AugustlO.l
The brutish, devilish spirit which posses
ses the sO-cslled Democracy was fully mani
tested on the occasion of the passage Of Cen
eral Grant through Carlineville the other
evening. That party, under the auspices of
that prince of low fellows, Bill o BTien, had
been holding political meeting in the town
during the day, and filed With bad whiskey
and when they heard that General Grant
was upon the train they started for the depot
seversl hundfed strong, and taking posses
siOn'of abe platform and surrounding the
Generals car they set upon him with the
most uuearthly yells and screenings, in
sulting him and his family in the most das
tardly and shameful manner. The fellow
O'BTien, whose manners are as filthy as he
is himself personally, was lOudest and fore
most in urging on the drunken mob. Gen
eral Grant had raised the window of the
car for the purpose Of shaking hands with
some frieDdS whom he recogniz d, when one
Of the dirty hounds, more impudent than the
rest, rushed to the window, and shouting
''Hurrah for Sey mour and Blair" violently
struck General Grant in the face with his
hat. Mr.. Mcconnell, who was conversing
with the General at the time, resented the
indiguity by giving the fellow blow on
the side Of the smeller which sent him
sprawling, and Lieutenant Mckee and others
at once kicked him off the platform. This,
however. only the more incensed the copper
head mob, and thOuhgh it was intended by
the decent citizens of the place to extend to
the General who had successfully led our
armies through the war some indication Of
their personal, not 10 say political, spprecia-
tion Of his services, it was found to be utter
ly impossible 10 do so and the train passed
on. The hyenasj with 0'Brien at their
head, who perpetrated the insult we're high
y delighted with their disgraceful perform
anees, but the respectable citizens of Carliue-
vile, without regard to party, were exceed
iDgly indignant that such a reproaeh should
have been cast upon the good name of their
town and we are not astOnished. 1t is
certsiu that the Democracy have gained
nothing by their bad manners.

GEN. sHERWOOa,

Gen. Isaac r. SHERWOOD, Republican
candidate for Secretary of State, 3D.
dressed the Republican County Con
vention in this place last Saturday. We
believe it was his first speech of the
campaign. 1t was an admirable effort,
both as to manner and matter, and
ELECTED the heartiest applause. In pre-
pairing to take the active part as a can
vasser in this campaign, Gen. SHER-
WOOD has made himself entirely tamil
lar with all the political policies of the
day, and thoroughly examined the ar
guments for and against them. Hence
his elucidatiOn of public questions is
remarkably clear; his dissection of
Democratic falsities and sophistriss
keen and searching; and his advocacy
of Republican principles convincing.
Having been a soldier during the entire
war, his proved patriotism gives ad-
ditional zest to his depunciation Of the
revived spirit of rebellion, and adds to.
the earnestness of his plea for PEACE
and the election Of GRANT and CoLF4x.
We hope to hear Gen. SHERwoOb again
in this county before the close of the
campaign He has the vim that makes.
bis efforts on the stump tel in the right
direction. -T ch unY

The Democratic meeting which was

account of the rain, until Wednesday
evening. The meeting was procured
for the purpose Of giving Mr.. Ross, who

the opportunity to make a aspeecb, We
did not attend the-meetihg, and do not
make any comments on what Mr.. Ross
said, further than to premise that his
sentences were constructed grammatical

free of blsckguardism. We mention
the subject only to remark that, consid-
ering the position Nr. Ross holds as in
structor of Che children of this town,

of doubtful propriety. The freer1 we

effect is pernicious on scholars. Every

free and independent citizen Of this

undoubtedly has an inalieuable right to
make as many political Orations, out of

A PRETTY QUARREL As IT STANDS,
Our ihhsEmonious Democratic friends
have not been able, thus far, to fix up
matters with their Crawford county
brethren. Their differences really aps
pear irreconcilable, Judging from the
healthy manner in which they slash
into each other The Crawford county
Democrats demand as their ultimatum,
that NoD1E shall withdraw and permit
another man to be nominated. They
viii not present JAcksoz, but will sup.
port any other Democrat besides NOBLE.
In this position they are supported by
the Democratic press of the State, out
side the Ninth District without an ey-
eeption. Mr.. NoBLEwill not withdraw.
Considerations Of personal honor, pluck,
and the inaliepable rights Of a Demo
cratic nomination forbid his Sinking

Democracy qf the District, moi ineluded
in she estate of Crawford" )" are at bis
back to sustain him; and he is not the
pOltrOOn to skulk out Of the 6ght

as it stands. 1t is exciting a lively IN

future duy of a protectorate over that

initiative steps in this matter by legisla-

Minister Resecrsns will be delayed un-
til furtherihformation is received on the
