CARRoLLToN, o., Oct. ], 1869.
DEAR DEMOCRAT: A word from
this part of the County of Carroll
may be of interest to- your readers.
particularly in regard to the pros
poets Of the Democracy, and the tre-
mendOus and strenuous efforts now
being put forth by the Republicans
in endeavOring to accomplish the
defeat Of the Democracy. A few days
ago they held meeting at Norris
town ,And the singing PROBATE Judge,
Billy Mccoy, and new fledged or
Rtor by the name of Jerome, from
Minerva, who is cooning around
Ben Potts's office, were to enlighten
the citizens of that place, set SAL, and
only found their efforts crowned, by
an empty house, mot even a light
visible, or an Individual to hear them.
Another meeting was to be held over
the bold knobs of Yellow creek in
which the Republican candidate for
Representative was to mount the
rostrlm together with Buchanan the
candidate for Treasurer, and arriving
at the school house found Just five
persons to hear their harangue, and
that too tizZled. Iadeed they have
made every effort in their power to
get up little excitement, but to no
purpose, and they are the most un-
easy set of candidates on the ticket
ever nominated.
The Democracy Of this county are
Yigilant, though no blowing Is done.
Our candidates are Of the very best
men to be found in the county. Mr..
Williams, our candidate for Repre-
sentative, is b farmer, and q man of
excellent and unaSSuming manners,
and just the exact man to represent
US, and will, poll very heavy
vote.
OfOur candidate for Probate Judge
Alexander Mortland, little need be
said, being one OF the first lawyers
of this county and a man OF talent
and judgment, genial and affable IN
disposition, and universally esteem
ed. We have no doubt of his election
by large majority, as his opponent
VIM. Mccoy and VIM. Adair their
candidate for Representative, have
both played too heavy a game upon
the soldiers by way Of collecting
pensions, and using their money for
electioneering purposes, 3 matter
they have neen publicly charged
with, and as yet have not denied.
Our candidate for Sheriff, Elisha
Mcguire, has filled that Office with
honor to himself, and credit to the
Democracy, and rest assured, he will
again be the Sheriff of Carroll coun-
ty by an Overwhelming majority,
for the Democracy are alive in this
section.
At the Republican nomination
great care was taken to secure the
nomination OF that great and scar.
less .chieftain, Ben Potts. Every
body knows Ben, by the old original
title Of "Guts Potts." a noodle in
law and perfect blank In the Sen
ate. Ben's integrity and brains are
on par and he has forced himself
upon the consideration Of an out
raged and Indignant people. Stuck up
with empty vanity and empty SOL
dier honors, he is properly apprecia-
ted by soldiers and citizens.
Their whole ticket is composed OF
unpFtncipled tricksters with q few
dupes hung to its tale.
Bill McAlister, their candidate for
Auditor, draws pension as Captain
from the Government and is not in
need of aught, save good character
and q clear conscience.
The day has come that the hard
! working portion Of this world are
growing tired of paying taxes fol
the rich and aristOCratic nabobs. II
il, labor against capital, and as long
&ANh6 6hepubIi0G4pDarty can ride in.
to power through fraud and corIup-
fdsn, just 50 long will labor be al
their mercy, and just so long will
thigh taxation come out Of the bones
Of the mechanic, the tiller Of the
soil, and the laborer generally, and
we be lett at their mercy. Then lei
the Democracy be wide awake, anC
labor to restore q manned and dis
tracted country.
| NThe present local exhorbitant anC
outrageous taxation should induce
Democrats to be vigilanl. The time
draws nigh, and let US have an elec
tiQn, worthy the name Of Democracy
and deserving the\ great and granC
principles of JeferS6nS Jackson. and
the formerstandard bearers of De
mocIacy. Yours, &C.,
Dr.. - OLD SOLDIER.
