Fire Millions Decrease lat Month.
From report of the Secretary of ihs
Treasury, published day before yesterday.
for the month ending October LIST, 1865, it
will be seen that the decrease in the Public
deb, during said month was S3,674,72i 90,
and that there Is an increase of cash in the
Treasury fol' the same month of s2,Gl5,>
$50 So, which amount added to the de-
crease IF the debt makes total decrease
for the month, commencing September LIST
and ending October LIST, 1865, of Five
Millions Two Hundred and Ninety Thon
sand Five Hundred and Nine.y- four Dol
lars and Thirty~eight Gents. For want of
space we omit the tabular statement OF the
Secretary.
Democrats may sound it in, every school
house, they may sound it ALI over this
broad land, that the public debt is increas
iny, but we are certain that in face of the
facts they viii fail to make the people be-
lieve falseLood.

BETTING, BLowiXG AND BAcKrxG DowS.
Within the last few weeks the Demo
crot has often evinced desire TO bet on
the election, and on one occasion sent a trio
TO this office who had the hardhOod 10
banter rs on a babyiSh proposition of their
own making. We presume they also WIS.,
tied the clergy of Plymouth and offered To
bet that the Devil is a Democrat, and that
in their next issue they will boast and
blow because their bet wasn't taken.
Lately. however. these betting gentry
have had their fill and have been COMPEL
cd 20 back down. On Saturday last every
effort was made by some RAIDS to induce
some of the 6oasiing Democrats to bet on
the result Of the State and general election,
hut not Dem could be found in all the
town who was willing TO risk cent on
any thing excep; MarHhall county.

Elk on Seymour.

General Dix, now Minister to France
and although now Democrat, was full of
loyalty during the war, writes from Paris
as follows.
1T was my hope that ny distance from

ticipation in politics there; but notice in

the present or past which Guild subject me

have been acquainted with Mr. Sey-
mour for more than quarter of century.
Tie is an amiable gentlemen of unexcep-
tionalae private character and private tai
ents. but you know as wei. as do that he
has no. a single qualification for the sue
cessfnl execution of the high official trust
to which he has been nominated, and he is
especially deficient in that firmness ofpur,
pose which in critical emergency is the
only safeguard against disorder and ca
lamity. He has at different times been
Governor Of the State of New York, and
he has in neither case had talent and tact
to keep the Democratic party together for
more than two years. l should regard his
election at this juncture when steadiness OF
purpose, decision, and self>control are SO
much needed, as one of the greatest ca
Iamit -es.
Moreover, he has been put in nomina-
ton by convention which has openly
declared the purpose Of those it represents
to pay the greater part of the public debt
contracted 10 preserve the Union in depre-
ciated paper. Such a. measure would, in
my judgement be violation of the public
faith pledged under the circumstances that
should have been binding on all honorable
men. Seymour has made public speeches
to show that IL is our duty TO pay the pub
lie debt in specie. ~ accepting bis uomi

WALKERIoN, Ind, October G

The joint discussion between Gen. Packs
ard and Judge Farrand came off at this
place to>day. The meeting was largely
attended by both parties. The citizens
here made no effort at display, as they have
long since made up their minds that rebs
must take back seats.
The Democracy made their greatest eff
fort TO display their colors. They came
from Polk with de .egation headed by a
band of Martial music, company of the
white Boys in Blue" which was cons
posed of men lately returned from Cana
Ga, others who drilled TO resist the draft
and few boys
The Judge opened with speech of one
hour. In which time. as he said when lie
begun, he could say but little. Then Mr.
Packard spoke, completely unmasking
and refuting the Misrepresentation of his
opponent. d.

DEMOCRATIC MERCHANTS IND Trade
The clique have sought TO create the i'm
preston among our Democratic business
men, that they were under peculiar obliga-
ions TO contribute TO the Democratic cleo
ton fund, on the ground that they were
chiefly supported by Democrats. Marshal
being Democratic county. The Demo :
cratic merchant can commit no greater
blunder than TO say he desires only the pa
trenage of Democrats. 1t is a well known
fact that the men who give the dominant
party its majority are not the most profits
aSle customers for the merchant, and that
Republicans are generally IN prosperous
circumstances and purchase More than
Democrats. We have no objections, how
ever, to any merchants hoisting his parts
IAN flag, and thus proclaiming To the world
that he desires to trade only with Demo
Gratis,
We learn from reliable sources that the
leaders of the Democracy have assessed
the Democratic business men quite heavi-
ly. and have menaccd some of them with
a withdrawal of patronage if they
refuse 10 pay. Let them threaten. Those
who refuseto be bullied will lose nothing

nation to the Presidency, he adopts the
declaration that it ought tobe paid in pa
per. know nothing so humiliating in tie
history of American politics as this tergiv>
ersation. 1t was, perhaps, not unfit that
Mr.. Seymour, after presiding in 1854 over
the Chicago convention, which declared
the war failure, should preside over he
convention Of 1865, in which proposition
to discredit the debt contracted to Garry on
the war was received with tremendous
cheering and that he should be thechosen
instrument to execute this act of national
turp;tude.
Independent Of all these considerations
1 should be greatly surprised if the people
of the United States were to elect as their
Chief Magistrate man who was making
at the Academy of Music, on the 4th OF
July, 1868, a speech deficient i'm all the
characteristics of an elevated love Of coun>
try at the very hour when Gen. Grant was
carrying the victorious arms of the Union
into Vicksburg, and when thousands OF
our fallen countrymen were pouring out
their blood on the plains of Gettysburg in
defense of their homes and the Govern
ment, which Mr.. Seymour was doing all
in his power to embarrass and discredit.
am quite willing that you should show
this letter to any friends who may take an
interest in my opinion in regard to the
coming election, and am particularly de-
sircus Of removing the impression, if ii ex
lists, that am in favor of Seymour or the
reputation Of the public debt.

PRAIsEwoRrHY.-It is fact worthy of
notice as vel. as commentator that at the
joint discussion on last Saturday. the most
perfect order and we believe harmony pre-
vailed. No outburst of passion or confu>
sion that so frequently accompanies these
discussions was manifested. 1t is an evil
dence OF high degree of intelligence in
the citizens of this county; and another
proof, while as freemen have the right to
use ali the arguments that can be possibly
brought to bear to sustain principle, even
to the excoristion of the opposite party,
the good sense of the American people
render them capable of governing them
selves Great credit is due TO the central
committees for the order preserved.

FROM BOURBON.
BOURBON. Ind. Oct. III

DoChbOS, luu., OCt. ttn.
EDTTcE RzPUBuoAN:-For two weeks
large posters have been stuck I'D in all the
most public. places throughout the county,
announcing that there would be a grand
outpouring Of the Democracy at this place
on Saturday last, and that Hon. A. p.
Edgerton, Democratic candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, would address the multi>
tude. The day dawned clear and beauii-
ful, and about IL O'Clock the delegations
began to arrive. The first that came were
a company of White Boys in blue from In>
wood, numbering I, amongst them were
fOu, voters, the balance may. be voters in
i've or six years, ifthey live that long.
The next delegation that arrived was
from Tippecanoe, and contested of one
two-hOrse and two one -horse wagons, fill
ed principally with hickory grubs. At
this junctTe there was considerable COM
motion in the west part OF town caused by
the arrival of the delegation from Argos.
and Soon the Marshal dashed into town on
his fiery steed, announcing as he sped by
that there was delegation from Argos out
there numbering 300. This was about as
near the truth as Democratic statements
usually are. 1t only lacked 276 of being
correct
Shortly afterwards, the several delega-
tons having all been united the Grand
Procession commenced moving towards
the speaking ground. There were about
400 in the column. which contained nearly
every Democrat present from al quarters
far and near. In the procession was a
banner with this motto:
We did not make the debt and
ought not to pay it,
Candidly spoken. Ofcourse they did nj
make it. 1t was made sorely agahast their
will, because they wanted the Rebellion to
succeed. and this is the secret of their hos
tiliiy to those who loaned the Government
money to pay off the soldiers and furnish
them food and clothing. That they in
tend to repudiate The whole debt in the
event of the success of their party requires
no additional testimony. They are more

Republicans were all highly pleased with
General Packarl's speech, bni VIC do MT
