FOREST Hill, July goth, 1868.
Ma. EprroR The joyful newssthat Sey.
mour and Blair had received the nomination
Of the National Democratic Convention for
President and Vice President Of the United
States, was received here with manifestations
Of dsgb: by the demo cracy, and we made
The old bills ring with the thunders Of our
nine FOUNDER, which Ell Dorado answered
back with her artillery. TIE demonstration
produced the most demoralizing effect upon
the radical system. With a sicklv smile
upon their paiIid features. the Repubs. moved
fsebIv about, repeating the names Of our
nominees as though they sounded like the
Meme meme ,eksl upharsn " to their hopes.
They received the nomination Of Grant and
Coliax with feeble attempt at resignation
and bolted them as they would lose Of
castor OF! or qnid Of tobacco, butV
Not squib was heard-not an anvil note
AS away to their holes they buried.
They knew that poor Schuyler and Gran were
gone in,
And their party effectually buried,
Every day increases our confidencein the
success of our ticket, and preparations are
being made to fight it out on our line until
the polls are closed in November. Organi.
cation musl be had throughout the county.
Clubs must be established everywhere-fre'
quen, meetings held-and by far the most
Important of Al, Democratic papers must be
taken, paid for, read, and distributed in
every neigbborhood. II Democrats would
know the stirring events that are occurring
throughout the country, if they would recall
to their memories the Infamous history of
Radicalism and the depraved reckless and
reasonable course of its leaders during the
past eight years; if they would provide
themselves silh facts and arguments with
which 10 meet the f.sehoods aud sophist
Of their opponents, lot them subscribe liber-
ally to N.e1r ow" party press, and take as
m.ny of the Democratic campai en- papers AZ
their means will permit. lhe terms upon
which our journals can be obtained are SO
reasonable that almos. every Democrat can
afford 10 take two or three, and by so doing
he will have contributed more to The achieve
ment OF glorious victory this fall than he
can effect in any other way. Club together
then, send for the papers. -ead them, loan
them to your neighbors, read them to the
Radicals. and if they refuse to listen. follow
them up and read them at them. Ii is our
duty to contribute literally TO the support Of
the Node heroes of the press, who are ex,
haus.ing mind and body in battling for the
rights of the people, and the restoration of
peace and prosperity to the country Let us
do our duty.
Your contemporary Of the Stars ana Stripes
paid us wei. last week, and runot has il,
that be organized in thus town a large army
OF freedoms Defenders, the numerical force
OF which, if assembled for christian purposes
woul not have insured the divine presence.
AS Democrats we iee uncommon jolly,
but a cloud Of inexpressibls griet overshadows
us when we remember that the amiable pa
tyiotic, DR.. Colonel, Old, tSibley has departed
this democratic life. How could he go for
TO do it Sib.-what sot on his fa.her's
knee Sib-what has got copy of the
Constitution in his office, Sib--what became
Disguised with radicalistn when he saw, with
h!s own two eyes what he has got into his
own head, strappirg buck niggers knocking
down respectable white citizens in the streets
OF Washington. Jst to think ont.
Like moths poor Sb! thou hast been caught by
glare,
The twentes won their way and we are in dis
pair
an sorry to learn that our friend L. G
Brown met with sad accident few days
ago at lannon's ranch. While chopping
timber the axe glanced and cut off four of
the toes of his left foot A few days pre-
viously, at the same place Mr.. James STRAIT
ton, partner of Brown, buried an axe into
the arch OF his 70, tiuhlcling fearful wound
which is likely to lame him for life.
