WEBSTER TOWNSHIP, April T. 1858.
EDITOR JOURNAL: Thinking that you would
like to know, how the friends Of the white man.
prospcrcd in this section Of the county, thought
best to inform you, and what have to say is
this, that think their prospects not so aater
ing as about six months ago. At the State cleo
ton last Fall, the white mans government party
poed forty three votes If recolect right, and at
this election they polled the sum of 80 votes, all
told, for Judge of Common Pleas, and % votes on
township tickets. This seems strange, or may
be to some, but it will all be made clear
when inform you that there has been a sort
of Uuion Revival In this place, of late, which
has revived the lukewarm, and reclaimed some
b cksliders, and strengthened the members
o. the Union party generally, which if con-
tinued until the next election, such men as
profess to cling to the coat extremity of Andrew
Johnson for salvation will be remarkably scatter
ing. II there eve- was time when the friends of
the Union should labor, It is now It has seemed
for some time past that the prospects were
rather against us, but the old saying is that it is
always darkest just before day, and it begins to
| seem now that we discover a faint CLEAN of
light in the political horizon, and may it keep on
growing brighter an brighter until its refulgen
| light may shine the whole Union, as one
| great sun of harmony.
The only thing necessary to the increasing of
the Union maiorities in this State, is to have the
Legislature sit next winter, and if they make as
much prog ess they have thus far, the white
mans" party, called will in the next Lcgisa-
| ture be in the very smallest minority. But be
| this rs it may, we are ready, as party, to take
| all such as may see fit to return, if they come
| truly enitent aud show forth fruit meet for re-
enhance for we read, that there is more Joy over
one sinner that rspenteth than over nnty and nine
| that need no repentance.
And we in this place mean to continue our efforts
until the last lost sheep is gathered into the poit
| ical fold.
