/ EDITOR COURIER Dear Sir: The
great lovers y Of our good old party,
and greedy avaricious lovers OF office Of
Perry county, are circulating over our
county poster stating that a MAJORITY
Of the Central Committee Of the Sd Ju-
dicial District. had ordered q Convention
to be held at Cannclton, on the 18th inst,
and that the Convention would be held
there on that day, at ! o'clock, y. N.
Now the prOmulgatOr of that poster,
those who circulated them. the two pa
pers in CanneltOn, and all those engaged
in this petty strategy, knew full well
that majority Of the Central Commit
tee had agreed upon Leavenw orth.
Crawford county, as the place, and the
18th. inst, at ~ o'clock, P. NJ, as the time
OF holding our Judicial Convention.
Why then do the Canneltonians publish
and issue call for Cannelton, and add
. falsehocd ~ the same, stating that a
majority Of the Committee have agreed
upon their place, and the 18th inst, as
the time! Have they not discord and
dissatisfaction enough in their own
county, without attempting to create
wragming in the District! It seems to
some that the cliques and rings of Perry
county, ought to have learned by cxpe-
rience that they can't control the masses
Of the party. The result of their attempt
at home, ought to be satisfactory to
them,-their course and conduct will
have the effect in all probability Of de-
feating the entire ticket. Is this not
holocaust eDought for one canvass p
Can they not see-which is the result of
their evil and corrupt mac chinations-
enough destruction! Is it possible for
some men to be born with fell pur-
pose to control affairs, and place their
own pets before the people how ever
incOmpetcnt--Or in the event OF their
failure. to strand the party ship, brekc il
lup, and make the welking ring with
their dcmoniac laughter at the distruc-
ton they have caueed? Perry county
ought to be satisfied with what she has
now and what she has had, without At
tempting to FORCE herself upon the bal
ance OF the District. She now has q
State candidate she has had the Judge
of the Common Pleas COurt,-and God
pity her selection ; and she has Circuit
Prosecuting Attorney, who is renomi-
mated. Is this not enough? Must you,
Canneltonians, by trickcry and chicane-
ry, attempt to have the District Con-
vcntiOn at your place in defiance of a
majority OF the Central Committee
And what for! Is it for the purpose of
having it handy for your little seven BY
nine tricksters 10 manage and control the
convention in the interest Of one of your
citizens for Judge. Was it for the pur-
pose of having it handy for him. and to
enable him to hire individuals adjoining
his county to attend the Convention, in
his interest! Ii it was you will most
lsignallv fail. The Convention will be
held in accordance with the expressed
wish and desire Of a majority Of the
Central Committee, at Leavenw orth,
Crawford county, on the 18th inst !.
whether the Canneltoniaus. are there or
mot. Cannelton can not, must not, and
will not be allowed to control the bal
lance of the District.
Spencer and Perry have always done
at. But the sceptcr must depart from
Judea. Neither of them has such great
talent or majoritics for our party, ms to-
ALLOW them separately or Jointly to die
tate to the balance Of the District one
or the other Of these counties, has always
held the Judgeship, and they are now
attempting 10 continue and tighten their
grasp. Will the other three counties-|
who arc in the I'd Congressional District
and who have something in common
submit TO this? Will they continue toI
be hewers OF wood and drawers of wa
ter to those great moral would-be lead
ers? If Orange and Crawford feel sol
am satisfied old Dubois will
not. Take our county out of the Dis
trict, and no; ONE of these great aspiringl
juris:s ~ could possibly be elected.
Dubois Democracy, you are good
enough to vote for the men whom your
woald-be masters, say for YOU to votcl
for, but whenever you ask to have any.|
thing to say about making the nolnina-
tiOns, YOU are treated with scorn and con-
tempt, your wishes arc utterly disrcgard-l
ed. These things have gone on longl
enough. It's time that we notified these
fellows that they can do nothing without
us,--that WE MUST be consulted in polit-
cal matter at LEAST = little. That We
are the equals OF the balance of the Dis
trict. That il they will not SO under
stand the matter, we now give them
fare warning, that In January, the Leg
islature convenes, and that it will be the
easiest matter in the world to our "Cavc
in the woods, as,"--another sweet NOR
sal to roll under our t0ngues--io have
old Dubois placed in Judge Pearce's
District--who is a gentleman, scholar,
and an excellent Judgc,-and then what
would the other four counties do in the
