We are not friendly to Mr.
Straits nomination, because we
would like to have a candidate
from this county. We are in favor
of Mr.. Thatcher's nomination be-
cause he is from this county, and
because we believe him to be an
honest, competent and worthy gen.
tleman, and one who would fairly
represent the district in Congress.
Because we, favor Mr.. Thacher is no
reason why we should denounce
Mr.. Strait. The latter has been in
congress two terms and seems to
have given general satisfaction. and
is, no doubt, the first choice of a
good many worthy members of the
Republican party in the district;
and we know of no reason why his
friends have not the right to labor
for his denomination.
Let those, then, who are opposed
to Mr.. Strait be governed by the
ordinary rules If fairness, and for
bear to resort to such appliances to
effect his defeat as may react upon
themselves, and do injury to the
party generally. They do not pro-
mote Mr.. Thacher's interest by
abusing the friends Of Mr.. Strait.
On the contrary they make enemies
Of the latter, and thereby jeopardize
Mr.. Thatchers election, in case he
shall be nominated. We believe that
there are good many republicans in
this county who think they will
refuse to vote for Mr.. Strait, under
any circumstances; and, hence, he
seems to us a weak candidate here.
AS the district is pretty close one,
it would be sensible for the conven-
ton to nominate a man entirely &C
ceptable to all parts of the district :;
but if the adherents of Mr.. Thach-
er persist in abusing Mr.. Strait and
his friends, it must follow that they
will retaliate and that Mr.. Thatcher
will soon be as weak in other local.
tiles as Mr.. Strait is here. Let the
friends of Mr.. Thatcher be content to
electioneer for him, instead of mis-
spending their time in indirectly
electioneering for Mr.. Strait by ill.,
tempered abuse of that gentleman
and his friends.

1t is the height of nonsense for
politicians and newspapers in this
district to be telling that, if Mr..
Strait is renominated for Congress
it will be through the corrupt and
censurable conduct of Federal
Office holders. All the federal office
holders in the district have not in
auence enough to accomplish this,
if the people are unwilling that he
shall be the nominee, and such as
sertions are unworthy the attention

Centennial Letter.

RELICS.
The average American Is literal
ly death on relics. All that is an
cient and venerable, all that savors
of distinction, whether royal, mill
tary or intellectual, finds favor in
his eyes, but receives no mercy
at his hands. Witness the bcdstead
at Mount Vernon which was
doomed to destruction for having
given aid and comfort to the great
Washington-:he innocent piece of
furniture being so multiplied by the
knives of those latter.day Vandals,
the relic hunters, that its remains
had to be removed and a fac-simile
set up in its place.

searches Of that antiquarian bard,
Sir Walter Scott, collected a multi
tude Of things teeming with associa-
ton, of "auld lang syne, the rooms
are shown to limited number Of
visitors for the good reason that the
attendant has but one pair of eyes,
and could not pay attention to a
large number in case any of them
should be siezed with a fit of ab-
straction. At Versailles the guide
to the palace lifts the pillows to the
couch Of the first Napoleon, and
discloses small square blank where
the damask used to be, and gives a
look full of such eloquence as this:
"1f you see a wretch anywhere
in America with a piece of dalnask
to match that hole, spot him.
The Centennial affords an unus-
ual feast to the lovers of the antique,
even though the American Repub-
lie is Young and intensely modern.
Besides what could be gathered of
historical interest in connection
with our own country, the older ma
tons have kindly risked at our Ma
tional birthday celebration, many of
their cherished treasures which
could never be replaced, should
they be swallowed by the sea, con-
sumed BY fire, or destroyed by bar
barians. Those who revere the
memory Of the Puritans will have a
rare treat in visiting what is called
the New England Kitchen, although
it is the log cabin to which a mod
ern kitchen is attached, that con-
tains the objects OF interest. The
cabin is an old-time, one story
building Of unhewn logs, containing
two rooms and a loft. It is the en-
terprise of a lady, Miss Z. d. South
wick, which has added this unique
feature to the Exposition. She is a
descendant OF the family from
whence came Cassandra SouthwiCk,
the subject of Whittier's ballad.
The oldest furniture, the most an
Gent porcelain, and the most anti
quated costume that New England
could muster, have been resurrected
from attic and cupboard and chest
to do duty at this Yankee woman's
Centennial venture. May the I'm.
dertaking be success. May the

in to see Peregrine Whites cradle.

made of grey and brown stones,

ruins Of Carthage. A few old
paintings are scattered among the
many new ones, and there is one

Correspondence.

ANDERSON, INDIANA, Oct. 9Th. 1876.
Indiana is one of the foremost agricul.
tural States of the Mississippi valley. As
stock and corn growing state she is not
surpassed by any of her sisters. She is
rich IN timber, iron, coal. and other nat
ural advantages. Her farmers like those
OF Iowa, have lived too fast and mauv
are embarrassed with debts and mortga-
ges, and many of them are disposed to
find fault with the government for hard
times, for which they are themselves re-
sponsible
This State is now the greatest political
battlefield of the Republic. In every
town and School district the canvass is
prosecuted with the utmost diligence by
both parties. The questions of finance,
civil service reform, &C., are discussed
pro and con. But the great theme that
overshadows all others is that of human
rights. One party insists that the Gov
eminent of the United States has right
to protect its citizens in every land and
country, except our own. That the
meanest citizen may dwell secure under
It's flag in foreign lands, yet it has no
right to prorect those within its own iu-
risdiction who risked their lives in its
defense. That those who vainly sought
to take the life of the nation-may per-
secute and kill its friends and defenders.
and the government has no right to inter-
fere The other party holds it TO be the
duty OF the government to protect its
loyal citizens at home and abroad. Here
have gathered the great men of both
parties, in mass meetings, rallies, reunions,
conventions, and debates. The people
have been fully aroused by the clarion
tongues of orators and statesmen from
almost every State of the Union.
l attended "rally" at Greenfield on
the 9Th instant. The procession was 5
miles long, with banners, and devices, and
mottos, and bands of music, and huge
wagons drawn some by four, some by
six, and some by eight horses. There
were also hundreds of men and bows in
uniform, some on horses and some foot.
The number present was estimated to be
about 10000. Col. Ingersoll, of Illinois,
was the orator. He fights as heroically
on the rostrum for his country and for
liberty, as any man ever did on the field
of battle. This orally" was followed on
the following Saturday by Democratic
one. Each party tries in these rallies to
surpass the other in number and enthusi-
asm. The people are so fully aroused
that each man of either party, seems to
feel that on his vote hangs the nations
destiny. Ere this letter reaches you the
battle will be fought. The fate of the
nation will be decided, so far as the vast
influence of 1ndiana's October election
can decide it. Patriots waited with bated
breath to hear from Sherman in his
march to the sea. With equal int. est
will they wait the tidings from Indiana.
Defeated or victorious, the nation has no
truer Drawer men than Indiana Republi-
cans. S. W. II.
