ONE of our Lodgeton friends wants us
to "come down heary" on the Columbus
Dispatch.
Some days ago citizen thus accosted
an Irish drayman
"Why do you drive such a pitiful-
looking carcass as that? Why don t
you put heavier coat of flesh on him,
Pat?'

the powers, the poor creature can hardly

TIE Columbus Dispatch comments
elaborately on our reference to com
bination of "rostive lawyers and poll
ticians in Hickman and Graves counties"
who are determined to beat Capt Clark
at all hazards, and thinks we are mis-
taken. Well, all we know about it is
that, these gentlemen tell us so them
sclUcs. OF course, we didn't mean all,
because we know of some who are
working manfully for Clark. On
this point we will give the. Dispatch
another bit of information, and that is,
we believe we are personally acquainted
with every practicing lawyer in this SEN
atorial District, and assert that every
one except three, so far as our acquaint-
ance extends, endorse Clark's position
on the question of negro testimony.
How they will vote, we don't know and
don't care, but so far as their influence
may bear upon this election, we would
infinitely prefer being endorsed by their
judgment than their individual votes. If
there are those among them who feel
aggrieved at Clark's innocent jokes on
the profession to such au extent as to
abandon previous declared positions, we
are sorry or, if there are those who
vote for Hale on personal considerations
We attach no fault to them. In fact, it is
none of our business, and we don't care.
So far as coordination" is concerned
we don't fear it. The people will decide
his contest, Independent of any infu-
'nces any man or set of men, may bring

The Election-pemocratIc Unity


a little more than one week from to
day the Kentucky State elections occur
Our exchanges from other sections ex
hibit an enthusiasm being displayed
commensurate with the importance OF tht
contest. On Monday week, the 9Th Q
August, Kentucky fires the first gun II
the great Presidential battle of 1872
Shall its report carry joy to our friends
iu the other States or dismay to our enc
mics. The election of the Democratic
ticket is assured, but the triumph OF oul
State ticket, is mere shadow, whe1
compared to its effect on the elections IL
the other States and on the Presidential
election of next year. All of US know
what effect the election results IN the
Northern States has upon our own polit-
zeal feeling, whether for encouragement
or Encouragement. We weigh and sean
each loss and gain, and argue from thence
future victory or defeat. Let Kentucky
increase her majority and it will send a
thrill of enthusiasm throughout the De-
mocraey of the North, which will en-
courage them to work with power and
earnestness which knows no defeat Let
our majority be reduced, aud it will fall
like pail over the noble exertions of
our friends, and correspondingly nerve
our enemies to battle for victory. Our
party in other portions of the State
appear to be thoroughly alive to its great
importance. Our friends discuss their
minor differences as members of the same
family approve or disproVe each other
for mutual good, but rally with an cleo
trio shout to the standard of our gallant
chieftains, Leslie and Carlisle. Let us
all emulate their noble example. Let
US support our local fayorites with what
ever degree of warmth and enthusiasm we
may deem proper, but let US present a
solid phalanx for the State ticket. We
have heard some good men assert that
they would not vote for Leslie and Car
isle, because they had declared them
selves in favor of negro testimony. We
think they are wrong, and deplore such
a spirit. Let them vote against Clark on
this question if they will, but we earn
estIy entreat them, if they are honestly
and truly opposed to Radicalism, not to
visit their excitement on our chosen and
accepted chieftains.
We therefore beg these friends, to
weigh well, calmly and deliberately, the
of the act, before they pro-
scribe Leslie and Carlisle on such grounds
Let them cultivate that liberal view of
the situation which allows an honest diff
ference of opinion, whether it comes
from Democrat, Republican, Know
Nothing or Whig. This is the broad
mantle of charity which intelligence and
cool reason spreads over the differences
men, and enshrines all anti
Radicals as a noble brotherhood Let
our enthusiasm for our respective local
preferences strike up the fires of Demo
cratic fraternity, and send out a shout of
unity through our entire ranks for Les
lie and Carlisle.

QUITE an animated political discus

forthwith arranged between the parties

worsted in the discussion, whereupon

Lawson on that occasion, but informed
him that he would meet him in debate at
the Court house on the ensuing Tues

Lawson failed to respond to come
to time, and thus the matter rested at

Leslie at NIayHeId.
MAYF1ELp. july 24tb TO-

MAYFIELD, July 24th, 1871.
Gov. Leslie arrived here this morning
and addressed very large audience al
the Court House. After his arrival this
morning Capt. Ed k Warren, chairman
of the Democratic Committee of Graves
handed him note from the chairman Of
the radical committee asking a division
of time, Col. LuciaD Anderson DESIRING
to answer the Governor. This promo.
sition was readily agreed to by Governor
Leslie on the condition that he should
speak an hour and half; then Anderson
to speak an hour aud the Governor to
close the debate without restriction as to
time. This proposition was promptly
rejected by the radical committee, they
claiming that Col Anderson should have
an hour and a half. This was rejected
and the Governor intended to make his
usual speech, but on reaching the Court
House, Col. Anderson met him and ac-
cepted his terms.
THE GOVERNORS SPEECH.
The asking of a division of time by
Colonel Anderson aroused the Governor,
and for an hour and half he made one
of the most telling speeches l ever lis
tened to. had listened to four speech
es made by him which we regarded as
able and instructive, but to day he was
not only able but eloquent, and made
radicalism, as it has exhibited itself in
the management of both the State and
Federal Governments, stink in the nos
triis of honest men.
After Governor Leslie had exhausted
his hour and a half Colonel Anderson
took the stand and made one of his char
aeteristic speeches.. His time was prin-
cipally taken up by attacking the last
Legislature He made mountains out OF
mole bills; the little appropriation of
$4,000, made to refurnish the Cover
nors mansion, was expatiated upon at
great length. Colonel Anderson ex-
hausted his hour, run over it half an
hour and then complained at the con-
clusiOn that the Governor had placed
handouts on him and he was forced to
close.
GOV. LESLIE
again resumed the stand and remarked
that as Col. Anderson had accepted his
proposition and made a speech in ac-
cordance with it he had precluded him
from any complaint as to the conditions;
but said he "if / had the time l would
be willing to let him speak for five hours
if he could make no better speech than
he had already made. In answer to
Col. Anderson's speech, the Governor
was eloquent and forcible, and demolish-
ed every position the Col. had taken.
The large audience was held for five long
hours and were perfectly delighted with
Governor Leslie. In word, he made
powerful speech. We leave immediate
ly for Murray.
