THE FAhks
To the Editor Of the Union and American:
SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 10, 1sI2--The
readers of your valuable and interesting
journal, ! have no doubt, have been often
and forcibly reminded Of the existence OF
such a county as ROBERTSON, e large ma
jority of sign and ornamental painters, and
some ornamental printers, persist in spell
ing it R0binson,) the county where an ex-
tract of corn and other grains as liquid,
form the principal article Of export, and
where the natives themselves consider 1t
no disregard of good morals to indulge
moderately In the usa Of Robertson
County "stralght," and occasionally mixed
with the graduated extract Of cane. Pre-
Stunning, however, that most OF your read
ers are conversant with the subject Of Rob-
ertson County, straight or 'tmlxed," !
will, therefore, proceed st once 10 "ghat l
know about"
ROBERTSON COUNTY POLITICS.
am aware that this IL subject which
just now Is somewhat Hmixed" in regard to
the candidates for Congress for the State at
large, Cheath2m Or johnson; but from all
can learn and observe, it viii soon be
straight" Chatham or Maynard, johnson
being almost, If not entirely, out of the
race. Such revolution In the minds Of
men and voters, especially the citizens Of
this county, has never before been witness
ed by tho "oldest inhabitants" As soon
as 1t became apparent to ali thinking and
well informed Democrats and Conservatives
that Mr.. Johnson's policy would break up
and divide the opposition to Grant In this
State, and thereby endanger .he re-elee-
ton OF Gov. Brown, that moment they re-
nounced johnson, and now are warm and
ardent supporters Of Gen. Chea.ham.
Now, this Is no idle boast or assertion.
Anybody who viii take the trouble TO In
vestigate and inform himself, can find right
hare the most indubitable proof by con-
sulting any citizen of the county.
When lifelong Democrats see the
efforts Of Mr.. johnson and Colyar, et id
oRlne genus, seconded by that arch plotter
against the Democratic party, the Bonner,
to disorganize the opponents of Grant and
the Radical party Of the country, tie7
think it high time to pause and reflect upon
the consequences. They know, as ever
intelligent and well-informed man in
the whole country Is awaretthat the Demo
cratic party, as an organization, is the only
hope Of the country. Their ''little game, y
to disorgsnize, assisted and abetted as they
are by the Radicals Of the State, win surely
come to naught, at least In this county, and
hope In the whole State. The entire issue
here now Is, Cheatbam or Maynard. As re-
CARDS
LOCAL POLITICS,
the candidates for the lower house OF
the next Legislature opsned tbs ball to-day
at Cedar Hill, which was well attended
| and which elected the mightiest efforts Of
aspiring weuld-bs Legislators. The cap-
vsss will be continued with vigor for seYs-
raj days, and perhaps weeks.
THE ROBERTSON COUNTY FAIR,
from ali indications, will prove to be the
most successful Of any yet held. The
country people manifest more interest than
usual In its success. Ample and complete
arrangements have been made for the &C
commodation Of exhibitors and visitors.
