The Intelligencer is in no way responsible for
the attacks made in correspondence by candi-
dates upon each other, either by themseles or
through their friends. We deprecate such things,
especially between democrats, and regret that
we did not in the beginning of the canvass re-
quire all such letters to be signed with the full
name of the writer. Thu articles are paid adver-
tlsements. of course.
VIM. II. Carter, E.q., Of Dover township,

Warrsnsburg Press :-"Major John e.
RyIand is a gentleman eminently qualified
for the position to which he asplres-that Of
criminal judge-and without any disparage-
mont to other candidates, we can say that
his nomination would be entirely acceptable
to the people Of johnson county. From our
knowledge of Major Ryland, we feel at lib-
erty to assert that he would never allow his
friends to procure his nomination by trad
ing or any species of jugglsry that would
unjustly prejudice the claims of other can
didates.'

The city primary election. to-day, is no
such hide-bound affair as some people would
have 1t supposed. The call says, call per-
sons possessing the legal qualifications Of
voters, who pledge themselves to support
the ticket nominated, will be allowed to
vote" What could be more Iiberalp No
assertion OF past loyalty to the democratic
party is required-only a clearly expressed
promise that the voter is not perpetratlng
a fraud when he votes, as the promise to
support the nominees where a person par
ticipstes In a primary election is implied
even when not expressed. All democrats,
and all persons who are willing to usslsi
them In maintaining good government, are
not only invited, but urged to vote at the
primary to-day.
Wilson & Son, grocers, keep a full and
fresh stock Of all goods in their line. 1t
Do not fail to attend the great %splrituslis-

thing promised in the bills will be carried
out, and infinitely more. Indeed, We are
told by the agent that q candid statement OF
the performances Of tho spirits would not
be believed without being seen. Let every

practised, 1t should be exposed then and
there. A committee Will be chosen by the
audience to be constantly near the medium,

to catch him. A highly interesting enter
taInment will certainly be given. myst1

What IS ''Spirirualism ?" Is it q humbug or
is it a reality ? Doubtless there are Thousands
Of honest and intelligent persons IN this country
who have asked themselves this question a hun
dred times. We have witnessed .'spirituallstic
Expeditions" and heard lectures on the sub
ject. all of which have only tended to make the
mystery more dense. We have also witnessed
performances of so-callsd mediums, whose
sleight-of-hand tricks were but bunglingly
done, and this has made US ready to denounc.
all mediums. as humbugs. Occasionally we
find some young and innocent girl who has tn,
power to make tables walk, etcetera, and AGAR
We are lost in speculation. Is it mesmerism.
electricity, deception, or what it claims to be
A real presence of the spirits of dead persons
We do not propose to answer this question fol
any one. but would advise all who are interest
