In my letter of the 18Th ult., gave
you some of tie movements of the $50
called" Democrats In this county
There is no longer any doubt that
they have secret organizations here at
work in their interest. The honesty of
a gentlemen of this county who had
consented to act with them, has prompt
ed him TO come out and expose some of
their plans. He will not longer con-
sent 10 meet in secret conclave with
persons whose hands are red with the
blood of bis eighbors and friends. He
says that, among other things, "they
are TO turn out in force on registration
day and see that the registrars do their
duty, as they C"the law and order low
ing people ~ understand 1t, and when
the Board OF Registration meets, they
are to have a great many witoesses
summoned with which to occupy the
time of the Board, so that few persons
can be struck off; and to aid in this
the good people above referred to, who
live in the townshipin which our Board
meets, have agreed to provide, without

such "lools" as him to attain the same
object with the ballot, and having made
himself conspicuous by trudging over
the hills in their interests. think 1t

would advise to abandon their friends
and go with him, should know his re-
cord.
Within the last few days information
entirely reliable has been received that
the said Democratic orator had been a
private in the Union army, in the late
war; whilst in that position was de-
tailed to examine rebel correspondence
at Johnson's Island, and done some
thing there rather discreditable; that
he was mustered out and received a
LteutenanG's commission in a company
OF negro troops that he afterwards de-
serted, and was next heard of in Glas-
gov, Scotland that from that place he
wrote a letter to Mr.. Lincoln imploring
his pardon, in which he confessed the
desertion; that Mr. Lincoln did not
grant it. So it seems that he Is yet an
unpardoned deserter unless the present
"Cnief Executive" who certainly
would take pleasure in tremitting the
sins" of such an one, has interposed his
