The shades of night wero fulling fast, As through a Western City passed A youth, who horo, 'mid snow and ioe, A banner with ,thi» strange device:
"GOOD NJCWS!"
The news was that L. A. FOOTE CO. had just received large lot of New Goods, making their stock fuller and more complete than it had ever been, and the best stock in their lino ever in the city of Crawfordsville.

that the sign referred to is that of tho "Coit-

(you can see it from either
Green or Vernon streets,) and tho young man who stopped the traveler was John It. Robinson, Jr., who has been in the establishment a year, and being well posted in the business, knew what be was talking about when he told the gentleman with tho banner to stop. If Jott doubt, call and ask him. _• g-
And now he stands within the door, Where goods are found from wall to floor i. And with a smile and wink of eye, lie says iu accents clear and high.
"I SEPJ 2sTEW GOODS!'"
Ife saw Bibles, Testaments, Prayer Books and ITymn Books for all denominations, Albums, Histories, Novels, Music Books, a great stock of mis^ ccllaneous Books, all the School Books in use in common Schools, College Text Books, Blank and Memorandum Books, Pictures, all sorts, kind and sizes, Picture Frames, Moldings, Paper of every size and kind, Wall and Window Paper, Window Shades, Cords, Tassels, Envelopes, Slates, Pencils, Ink, Pens, Toys in great variety, and Notions of all kinds. In fact, if you were to ask him he would not be able to enumerate the half that lie did see. Nor did he forget to inquire the prices, which, being lower than he had anticipated, and finding many things hewantgd he bought quite a large quantity, which led to tho following results

To tlie Soldiers and Sailors of Indiana. A contest is at band nO loss vital in importance than that in which for nearly five years you were prominent actors. It is a contest involving the same issues which, one year ago, you thought were finally closed. You are called upon to make one more battle far the causo of your country, and decide at tho ballot-box the questions which are' raised here on behalf of tlioscS you so often defeated on Southern fields. You know that while you were fighting the battles of your country against open enemies, a secret and more dangerous foe was in your rear. You remember how discouraging to your hopes and your cause was any success of that foo at home, and how your sufferings wcro prolonged, and tho blood and lives of brave men wasted by every victory it chanced to win at tho polls. No disaster at the hands of bravo and open enemies in front, ever did so much to demoralize the Union army, as an election carried by the Democratic party in tlie rear. You aro now appealed to by that same party for support. Only two years ago, that parly resolved and voted the war a failure and tho rebellion a success it denied your patriotism it called you mercenaries and hirelings of a despot it could find nothing too bitter, no outrage too dastardly, no crime to wicked to charge upon you it could see nothing mournful in your defeats, nothing cheering in your victories it refused Jyou auothei man or another dollar to carry on tho war it conspired to set freo, and arm in the midst-of 3rour families, tho thousands of rebel soldiers captured by your valor, and, in your absence, to carry the horrors of war to the homes you had left in peace it.denied you, while absent.jSghting your country's battles, any voice in the elections. And now, in the faco of all this, this same Democratic party, before its slanders arc cold, appeals to you to save it by youtvotes from an inglorious and deserved defeat. It asks you, Soldiers and Sailors of Indiana, to throw yourselves into its arms. It promises you rich rewards if
3rou
will forget its abuse,
its falsity, and its treason—tho rich reward of committing your interests to the men who have once proved false to their own oaths, who havo fought you on bloody fields and starved you in prison pens, and whom it proposes to admit at once, without guaranties, into thp councils of tho nation. If you will now desert the cause for which you have sullercd, if you will repent of 3'our glorious deeds, if you will falsity your record, and stultify and dishonor yourselves, that party will receive you with open arms, and admit you to share its own infamy.
On the other side, is the great and glorious Union party which stood by vou and

you in i,he darkest
hours of the wai', which maintained against secret and conspiring enemies at home, t.ho
same
cause you so nobly
maintained abroad- On the success of this party
depends
your honorable
name and tho integrity of your country. If it is defeated now, all is lost which you fought to gain. What is at issue now, is 110 question of taxation, or tariff, or negro su flVage, as the Democratic party would falsely persuade you. The question is the permanence of your victories. Your old enemies with their Northern sympathizers, would win now by fraud, what your valor kept them from winning by force. The energies of treason are being transferred to tho political contest here. To retain your glory, you must act with the same vigilance, concert and vigor with which you won it. The decision of this contest against the Union mbn who have so long sustained the Government, will make it better that war had never been waged against rebellion. If your names are then retained upon the pension rolls, it will bo by the side of those of your "Southern brethren" who fought you with such desperation. Ilebels will be honored as patriots, while you will be disgraced as hirelings. Already, bofore the grass is green over the graves of your dead comrades, the men who denounced and conspired against you, have fraternized with avowed rebels yet unpurged of treason: Secretly, working for traitor? during tho wai'j Northern Democrats now openly affiliate with Southern rebels at Philadelphia. At last they, havff drawn aside the curtain and show themselves conspiring together for division in. the North, as they have done for five years past. With a united South and a divided North, they threaten to sweep away every vestige of your victories, and destroy overy trophy of your valor, and even ask your aid to achieve it.'

Sei that every soldier and votor comes into the ranks and with the same flag over us that WHDOI O so long through iron storm and leaden hail to victory, march in solid column to the polls in October, and show unrcgenerato rebels at homo and abroad that we have not forgotten the past,

August 14. 1866.
Pcaco if} into mo I hev spont. iri.iny happv periods in tho course uv a eventful life, but I never knowd what pcrfeclc satisfaction wuz till now. The first week I wuz married to
1113*
Loizer
Jane it wuz hevonlj*, for independent uv the other blisses incident to tho married state I bcleeved that she wuz the undivided possessor uv a farm, or ruther her father wuz, wich on tho old man's deccese would be hern, and tho prospeck uv a lifetime with a amiable, well-built woman, with a farm big Cnuf to support me. with prudence 011 her part, wuz bliss itself, and I enjoyed it with a degree u" muchness rarely ekaled, until I found out that it wuz kivered moro- deepl3T with mortgages than it wuz ever likely to. be with crops, and
1113*
dreem uv happi
ness busted. Sweet ez wuz thi3 week, it wuz misery condensed when compared to tho season I hev just passed through.
I wuz a delegate to Philadelphia! I wuzn't elected nor nuthin, and hed no credentials, but the door uv the wigwam I passed nevertheless. The door-keeper, wnzi a old Democrat, and m3* breth. helped mo, and my nose, which rcely blossoms like the lobster, wuz uv use but I spcct nn' hevin a gray coat on, with a stand-up* collar, with a brass star onto it, wuz wat finished iho biznis. Tho Southern dole: gates fought sh3* uv me but the Northern ones, bless their souls, the minit the}- t,aw tlie star on tho collar uv my gray coat, couldn't- do enuff for mo. They addressed me as Kernel and Gineral, and sed this wuz "trooly an unmerited honor," and paid my drfrfks, and I succeeded in borrowin a hundred and'twenty dollars of em the first day. I might hev dubled it, but the fellows' wuz took in so easy that no financeerin wuz required, and reely it wuz no amoozemeat.
The Convenshun itself wuz tho most affectinist gathorin I ever witnist. I lied a seat by Randall, who! wuz a managin the concern, and I cood see it all. Tho crowd rushed into thebuildin'and filled it, when Randall desired attention, lie bein the. Post-mastcr-Gcueral. every one of em dropped in his seat as though he -had bin shot, and there wuz the most ^crfeck quiet I ever saw.' Do little, who-wuz tho Choerman, winked at Randall-and nodded his head, when Randall announced that tbq delegates -from South Carliny and the delegates from Massachoosctts icould enter arm in ami! With a slow and measured step they come in, and at a signal ^-fromvJRandall the checrin eommcnst^and'sich-'cbeeriu Then Do little pulled out his white hankercher and applied -it to his izo, and every delegate similariously puJled out a white hankcre^' and applied it to his izo. n*,....
To me. this wuz the proudeSMainit uv my life, not that ther wuz anytlif&gv pur'tikilerly inspirin in the scene afore me, for there wuzzent. Orr, from South CJaroliny-,- looked partikilerly ashamed of hisself, ez though he wuz goin thro a highly neBsessary butTextremely dibgustin ceremony, and-vvuz. determined to keep up a stiff upper lip

that isle? Wat did I see? I saw the Democrisj' restored to its normal condishun—I saw the Vc-union u.v the two wings—in fact 1 saw the entire
Yirginny, the legs and claws Ohio, ITie fioai't, Beunsylyjinia the stomach, South Caroliny the laTT'Teariicrs -'amxl Noo Jerse3T the balance uv the bird.—• I saw these parts, for five yeers dissevered, como together, hoi din a nigger in one claw and PostOffises in the other. sa3'in, "Take um both together —they go in lots." I saw the old Union—the bold, shivelrous Southerner a guidin, controlin and directin the machine, and assoomin io hisself the places uv honor, and the Dimokrats uv the North follerin like a puppy dog at his heels, takin sich fat things cz he cood snap up—tho Southerner ashamed uv his assosiashuns but forced to
3*oose
em—the Northerner uncomfortable in his presence but tied to him by self-intrust. I saw a comin back tlie good old times when thirty-four States met in convcnshun and let eleven rule em, and cz I kontemplated the scene I too wept, but it wuz in dead ernest. "Wat are you blubberin for?" asked a enthoosiastic delegate in front uv me who wuz a swabbin his 03'es with a hankercher. "I'm a Postmaster," sez I, "and must doo my dooty in this crisis. Wat are yoo slieddin pearls for," .retorted 1 "are 3'ou a Postmaster 'No," sez he, "but I hopo to bo!" and lie swabbed away with renooed vigger. "Wat's the matter with tho ize uv all the delegates?" sez I. ^4,,They've all got PostOffises in em.", sez he, and ho worked away faster than ever.
While gettin a fresh hankercher, (wich I borrered from the hind coat pocket uv a delegate near mo, and wich, by tho waj*, in
1113*
delirious J03-,
I forgot to say anything to him about
it,) I looked over the convonshun, and agin the teers welled up from m3J hart. My sole wuz full and overflowin. and 1 slopped over at-the ize.— There, before me, sat that hero, Dick Taj'lor and Cuth Bullitt, and there wuz'the Nelsons and Yeadons and^the representatives uv the first families uv the South, arid in Philadelphia, at a. convenshun, with all tho leadin Dimokrats uv tlie North, ceptin Yallandigham and Wood, and they wuz skulkin around within call, with their watchful eyes on the perceodins. Here is a prospeck Here is fatnis The Presi-. dent into our confidence! The Postmestors a runnin tho convenshun.
Tho bands a playin Dixoc and the Bar Slangled Spanner altcrnitly, 80 that nobody cood -complain uv partiality, or tell reelly'wich side the convenshun wuz on, or wich side it hed bin on in the past. Ah, my too susceptible sole filled up agin, tho teers started, but. that vent wuzzent enuff, and I fell a faiiitin onto the floor.— Twent3T or thirty Northern delegates seed me fallin, and ketchin-sito uv the gra3r coat with the brass star onto it, rushed to ketch nle and the3r bore me out uv'tho wigwam. Scd one "Wat a tech in scene, ovcrpowerd b3T his feelins!" "Yes," sed another, "ho doserves appintmcnt!"
Ididn't go back to the convenshun, coz I knew it wan't no yooso, and besides, after all the teers that, hed Jbin shed, tho members wringin their hankerchers onto the floor, it wuz
slopp3T
under foot. Conciliashun and tenderness gushed out uv em. 1 knowd it wood bo all right—it couldn't be otherwise. There wuz bonds wich held tho members together, and prevented tho possibility uv trouble. Johnson, hevin a ambition to head a party, must hev a party to head. Tho Northern delegashun, wich hed formerly acted with tho Ablishnists, couldn't do liuthin without the Dimokrisy North, and both on em combined couldn do nothin without the Dimokrisy South. The President cood depend
011
the Dimok
risy North, coz he holds tho offices the Dimokrisy North cood depend on the President, coz he must hev their votes the President cood depend on the Dimokrisy South, coz they want him to make a fight agin a Ablisben Congress, wich is a
unconstooshnoll3'
keepin uv cm out and preventin em from wollopin their niggors the Dimokri33T South cood depend on the President, coz ho must bev their Representatives in their seats to beat the A.blishnists in Congris—all cood depend on all, each cood depend on the other, coz each faction 01 ruther each stripe bed its little private axe to grind wich it coodn't do without the others to turn the grind-stone.
The Southern delegates some on cm wuzzent so well pleased. "What in thunder/' sed one uv em, "did they mean by.pilin 011 the agony over the Yanks we killed? b3T pledgin us to give, up the ijec uv seceshen, and by pledgin on us, to paj7 the Naslmel Yankee debt?" ., 'Sh sed I, eas3T over the rough places.

One of tKe staple Democratic complaints against Congress, has been that it passed, over the President's veto, a "civil rights bill," fbr the protection of the freedmen and loyal White peoplo of the late rebel States and much indifferent eloquence has been expended in denunciations of that measure.— But the Philadelphia Convention gives a decided endorsement of tho principles of tho bill, in its declaration that "the enfranchised slaves in all the States of the Union should receive, in. si connection with all their inhabitants, equal protection in every right of perr 5 son and property."
The Convention did not resolve thai tho sevfiral States ought to pass laws
for the protection of thi persons and property of the "enfranchised slaves' it had no right to prescribe a policy for separate States, nor did it assume to do so but as a "National Union Convention" it declared this as a part of the National platform of the party there organized and when the resolutions of that Convention wero prescnted to President Johnson, ho gavo them his unqualified approval, saying of the declaration of principles, among other things, "I think I may say also 5 that the declarations that were inado there ARE EQUAL WITH THE DJECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE ITSELF, and hero I pronounce it a second Declaration of Independence." And in the eamo spcech he further remarked: "Your address and'declarations are nothing more nor less than a reafirmation of tho Constitution of the United States."
