Editors Journal:
In recent issue of the Courier, a
a Frenchman of Illinois, in taking
exception to small local item of the
JOURNAL. sneers at the Germans of
this country by abiding to the Hes
sian of the revolutionary war. If this
Frenchman would study history a
q little, he would find that those
Hessians were brought to this coun-
try under compulsion of a bad Prince,
much against their own free will, and
that the help the French government
rendered the Americans, was prompt
ed by hate of England, and not By
love for America.
At the same time ne seems to for
get, that while during the late war of
the rebellion 100,0 Germans fought
under the Stars and Stripes
for the preservation of the
Union, the French. by making diver
sion in favor of the South, by throw
ing an army into Mexico, sought to
destroy it. And by diving a little
deeper into history, he also might
find, that Bull Run panic is not so
incompatible with French nature az
he seems to think. For in the Seven
Years War, he will find record of a
certain battle of Rossbach, where
q, 600 Prussians, under Frederick the
Great, routed 10000 Frenchmen, I'M
der Prince Soubise, in less than two
hours. and that then the French made
the fastest and longest run on record,
in order to put the Rhine between
the Prussian sabers and their precious
backs. A GERMAN.

The one of the effects of the late
Amendments to the National Consti-
tuition that seems to give the tall
Sycamore" the most unhappiness. Is
the abrogation of that part of the
State Constitution which prohibits
negroes coming into the State. His
wailings over it were long, loud and
pitiable to behold. The State was to
be overrun with the black "Vermin,"
and the result would be that in the
competition white labor would be de-
based, and deprecated in value to a
point that would bring ruin and star
walton to the poor white mani Dan.

Col. JONES, of the Rockport Dem.
ocrat, now that he has assumed the
command of the Democracy of this
District, don't propose to tolerate any
characterization in the ranks. In the
last issue of his paper he administers
castigation to one maleontent in the
following vigorous manner:
The low.fung and dirty insinua-
tions thrown out to the Democracy oil
five counties in this Judicial District,
by Mr.. A. I. Whittlesev, in the Ev-
ansville Courier, of Iast Tuesday
morning, are precisely on a par with
his nefarious attempt early last
Spring, to drag the Democracy into
the meshes of aig0erisns, by demand
ing that the Democratic party should
take the colored brother into full
fellowship, which course every hon
est Democrat throughout the length
and breadth of the land denounced
and condemned.
We have filed this particular num-
Der of the Evansville Courier for fu-
ture reference just as we did those Of
last Spring, wherein the diabolical at
tempt was made to drag the proud old
Democratic party down to political
equality with the negro.
This is pretty severe, but then it is
deserved. It seems, however, from
the following retorting paragraph,
that the Colonel will have to resort to
yet more severe instrumentalities. In
order to secure entire and perfect ODE
dience. The paragraph is from Sun
days Courier:
The editor returns his very grateful ac-
acknowledgements to Col. Calvin Jones, of the
Rockport Democrat, and gives him to I'M
deIstand, that the ventilation of old re-
cords may be damaging to. those who de-
sire to engage in such pastime. The bolt
ers of 1858, need not put on quite so many
airs If they expect to lead the Democratic
party in 1870. The jackar3 that put on the
lions skin was not remarkably successful

to have left progeny that Is now editing

The Boonvlile Enquirer feels COM
paratively complaisant over the result
of the Rockport Convention. 1t says:
Although we are sorely disappointed in
not securing the nomination of our candi-
date from WarTick for Prosecuting Attor-
ney, we are always ready to abide by the
decision of the majority, and give the sue
cessful candidates before a Convention our
hearty support, and hope to elect them By
the luminous figures of our contemporary
the Evansville Courier.
The loyalty of the Enquirer is OF
the shut-your- eyes-and- go-it- blind de-
scription. It is well known that Capt.
DIAL. the Warrick candidate alluded
to. was wofully sold out by Judge
Laird. in order to secure the latter's
nomination. The German element of
his own and Perry Counties, were so
hostile to his Know-Nothing antece-
dents, that he could only secure their
support by swapping Dali for Hen
ming. But the Enquirer says it is all
right. and if Capt. Diall's friends are
satisfied, outsiders have no right to
complain.
THE editor of the Courier says the
Campaign Chat" of the JOURNAL
consists of series ofshort and bril-
liant articles, culled, as a general
thing, from its exchanges, and from
the glowing and over-abundant imag-
nation of its waggish editors" Bar.

the Courier has very we'll defined THU
speciality Of the JOURNAL. OF course
we do not propose to monopolize the
'chat" ourselves, and never give ouI
neighbors an opportunity to put in 6
word so much as edgewise. That is {
very prosy conversation in which on
party does all the talking. Coleridg'

nation, sometimes tired his auditor
with his interminable monologues
Charles Lamb tells the story, we be
lieve, that he escaped one of these in
Aictions by artfdlly clipping off on,
of the buttons of his coat, upon which
the great talker had fastened, anC
left him with the button in his fin
gers, pouring forth one of thos,
streams of talk for which he was Gel
ebrated. We shall not initiate Coler
idge in his most Objectionable pecu
liarity, knowing our entire inability
to even approximate him in his more
admirable qualities.

rious TACT that the immigration of
blacks into this State during those
four years has not affected the demand
for or price of labor In the slightest,
and with the continually increasing
demand for the more congenial labor
of the South there isn't the slightest
probability that the future increase of
blacks IN the States North of the Ohio
will be as rapid as heretofore. And
Dan Knows 1t, as well as anybody, but
cannot resist the temptation TO lie
about 1t if vote for his party is likely
to be made thereby.
Voorhees,, in an uneuarded mo-
ment, made the declaration that he
was IN favor OF repeal of the Eff
teenth Amendment, and consequent
taking away from the colored man the
right OF suffrage. He afterwards be-
thought himself that perhaps he had
gone too far. and modified it by say
ing that, whether the Amendment
was. resclnded or not, the people
ought to punish the Republican party
by driving them from power for hav-
ing 1t put In the National Constitu-
tion,, and thereby betraying the
| people.
Dan thought. doubtless, that he
had improved the thing by this quail
| fication. but we can't see il in that
light. If the amendment in QUESTION
is the henious thing that Dan claims
it to be. and its advocacy by the Re-
publican party is q justification for
driving that party from power, ought
it not be repealed. and how could the
Democracy if they obtained the pow
er be excused for not resembling it2
We appreciate the difficulty that sur
rounds Dan on this as we'll as the
bond question. He knows that the
mass of his party are opposed both
to the repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment, and to the payment of
the bondsln gfeenbaoks, but he at
the same time knows that to favor
both affords him a wide scope for the
exercise of those demagogic arts of

The Mt. Vernon Union, having

Sycamore of the Wabash with uins
that must be distressing to his nu-
merous admirers. 1t whacks off limb
after limb Of his speech, with as little
mercy as though the speaker was
really the inanimate, rotten-hearted
tree from which he derives his sobri-
quet. We copy a few paragraphs, as
interesting to those who heard Mr..
VOORHEES, in this city, his speeches in
both places being the same:
VOORHEES, made the statement here,
and seems to have been in the habit
of making it, that the National debt
has not been diminished during the
past year. A more bare-faced and
objectionable falsehood could hardly
be conceived, and the man guilty of
It for the purpose of deceiving the
masses deserves the execration and
contempt of every one who holds
honor or honesty in any esteem.
Voorhees, professed in his speech
to be Q Well-Wlsher of the colored
man, and in favor of his having his
rights" As he was bitterly opposed
to the Emancipation Proclamation.
and the three last amendments to the
Constitution, it is clear that the only
rights he is in favor of the colored
man having are those he had before
the rebellion-viz: the right to be
bought and sold and held as a slave.
If he (Voorhees) is sincere In his
present declaration, he is compelled
to repudiate his speeches and opposi-
ton to those amendments, without
which the colored man would have
no rights. If he still holds to the
correctness of those speeches and that
action, his present profession is false
and hypocritical, and he is in reality
IN favor of the return of the colored
man to slavery The logic is inexo-
rable and inevitable.
