tion with the same ccased with last -•week's issue—tho concluding number

~"of the Eighteenth Volume. The long ".experience of our successor in tlie newspaper field, his ability as a writer, and thorough knowledge the eloments that constitute a useful and interesting paper, is a sufficient guaranty that neither tho community, nor /.rthe Union party of Montgomery coun-

'••iy,

will loso anything by the change in tho proprietorship of the paper. Wo have been connccted with tho ."Journal sincc its first establishment, in 1S48, excepting a brief interval and during tho time many pleasant relations—such as naturally spring up between tho conductor of a paper and .his patrons and friends—have made tho toilsomo pathway of journalism rather agreeable than otherwise and these relations, on our part, are, as a matter of course, somewhat reluctantly severed.' In reining Irom the newspaper business, wo should bo unjust to our own feelings, and ungrateful to tho community in which wo havo resided so long, if .wo. did not rectum our most sincero thanks for the liberal support and encouragement received at the hands of the people, specially of old Mongomery.

Jn conclusion: to all tho patrons and friends, of tho Journal, we wish peaco and prosperity through.all.coming time. Adieu.

ERE. KEENEY.

To the Patrons of the Journal. The patrons of the "Journal" will noticc that tho paper has changed hands, and that the undersigned has assumed tho management of tho establishment. iln again appearing before the public in tho capacity of editor and publisher of a paper, I desire briefly to state my political views.

I shall always denounce rebels and traitors, East, West, North or South, to tho end that "treason may bo made

3.odious."

..*•••• I shall advocate tho principles of the .great and patriotic Union party, as laid down in the Baltimore platform, v- 'I shall sustain, uphold and defend tho Union Representatives in Congress, because I believe thoy are right -and reflcct tho sentiments and will of jthe people, as the law-making power of tho Government.

The Constitutional amendments pas'6'od by Congress, and submitted to tho ipeopl.e for adoption, whereby the loyal .peoplo of the country will receivo -guarantees for Constitutional liberty, and assurances of protection in person and property, all over tho United

States, in all timo to conic, shall receivo my constant and cordial support. Jn short, it shall be my aim to publish a genuine radical Union paper. ... G. W. SNYDER.

Consistent as well as "Pliunny." The world don't stand still, noither do tho Fusionists. On Monday evening a few of tho original democrats made a pilgrimage to Greencastle to flco and heffr an Abolitionist and an advocate of negro suffrage. Tho great "Moses' I, I, ], I, I, was there, and some of them actually touched the hem of his garment. Will wonders never cease? These same men, two years Ago, would havo hunted the country over for a ropo to hang an Abolitionist. No wonder the honest masses of the Democracy are deserting its inconsistent leaders.:'

J5@** Tho Now York Jeeves says: "Mr. Johnson must depend upon the Democratic party for re-election." Wo do iic,t doubt it.

Intolerable Stupidity. On last Saturday evening, at the meeting of the National Union Democratic, negro-suffrage, rebel-sympathiz-ing, treason-aiding, noldier-slandering, conspiracy plotting, .war opposing, draft-officcr shooting, rcbcl-prisoner-roleasing, John son-Copperhead, bread and butter Club, Arch. Johnson and Bill. Bowers (par nobile fratrum) wero the principal speakers. Considering the antipodal stund points of those political hybrids a month or two since— the one occupying a commanding position in the K. G. C.'s, the othor a rabid abolitionist—it created no little astonishment in the crowd, to see the groat Arch lion and the little Billy lamb, approximate so closely. Such a blending of pro-slavery Democracy and ranting Abolitionism—oil and water, was never before witnessed by the oldest inhabitant. It was a phenomenon that the wisest philosophers could not account for. Even Mr. William Bunch, with his remarkable astutenoss, was unablo to give a satisfactory solution of the circumstance, but with a knowing wink thought it "beat all natur, and the Siamese twins to-boot."

The mooting of theso formerly antagonistic elements produced a profound indeed it caused the hearts of the audience to melt like a stick of popper-mint candy in the mouth of a petted juvenile. As for tearB, they flowed like drops of swill from a leaky bucket. Oh, Moses! wipe your weeping 1, I, I, I's. But the sublimity of the meeting of two such political fusionists, causod us to digress. Our intention was to notice the "dcsul -tory" remarks of the sap-

Esq., our connec- HO&D (we beg pardon), we mean sapi-

ent Archy. In talking about the following proposed Constitutional amondment— "All persous bom or naturalized in tho

United

States, and subject to the

jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge tho privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction tho equal protection of the laws." —Archy says: if it should be ratified, it will confer tho right of voting on niggers, and the peoplo of Crawfordsville would elect nigger Justices of the Peace, and we should have nigger equality generally, together with a batch of such demagogical twaddle. Now, Archy, you must either bo a vory dormant copperhead, or else you have not properly posted yourself, for no sane man would make such a jackhorsc of himself by venturing such an opinion unless he took Webster's Dictionary. for better law than Kent's Commentaries. True, yonr file leader, Jo. McDonald, undertook to prove on an extensive scale, what you are trying to do in a more limited capacity, but signally failed for tho great Constitutional mogul of j*our party, Judge Porkins, in one of his "lucid intervals" gave Jo. a blast that sent him howling into tho wilderness, where he stuck up posters announcing that he wished to "lease Webster^s Dictionary," on torms satisfactory to all political dabsters. Judge Perkins, who stands high as a man of sound legal attain ments, at least with your party, says "McDonald seeks to run the campaign on the proposition that the pro posed amendment to the Constitution confers negro suffrage, but that is plainly a false proposition, and one on which defeat must of course result.— The proposed amendment does not confer negro suffrage."

Will Archy attempt to controvert tho legal opinion of Democratic Perkins? When wo inform our talented and high-minded readers that tho remainder of Archy's speech was about as stupid as his legal exposition of the Constitutional amendment, wo think they can duly estimate his ability to serve in tho capacity of a legislator.

As for the speech of the pragmatical Bill. Bowers, it was like the boy's skunk—not worth skinning.

Fred. Douglass.

The treasonable Copperhead papers, all over the country, affect a holy horror because Fred. Douglass, a talented and moral colored man, appeared in the Philadelphia Convention as a delegate, and m.' do a speech. What will be their feelingh whei"' thoy are informed th« Fred. Douglas* has been a voter for tho last iw»ynty-fi years in the State of New or*-, made so by a law enacted by a democratic legislature, and approved by a domocratic Governor. Tho law aforesaid allows any negro, who is worth 3250 to voto, and was introduced by Martin Van Buren, tho idol of the democratic party, and who was elected President by democratic votes. Some of these editors need not be afraid thoy will ever be on an equality with Fred. Douglass. That's what's the matter.

What is the difference .between a mischievous mouse and a beautiful young lady One harms the cheese, and the other charms the he's.

/teg** Have yon heard tho "ground swell" from .Nfame?

Misrepresentation--Col. Lane. Col. Lane is reported in the Indian?apolis Herald of the 10th inst., as having said in the Philadelphia Convention that "we have assombled to announce to all the world—Freedom to all—Freo speech and universal suffrage." Now, wo havo tho authority of Col. Lane himself for saying that the above is an incorrect report of his specch, on the part of the Roportcr for tho New York Tribune, no doubt unintentional. The specch alluded to, was not mado till after the adjournment of the convention, to a very largo crowd, and in tho midst of tho confusion the mistake must havo occurred on tho part of tho Roportor.

The true report of the specch was this That he was "in favor of equal civil rights and free spcech to universal manhood, as secured by the Civil Rights Bill and the proposed Constitutional Amendments that his "platform and tho platform of tho Union party was the Constitutional Amendments and the Civil Rights Bill."

Wo hopo tho editors of the Herald, and all others who havo copicd tho article, will havo the magnanimity to make proper corrections, as-the article places Col. Laoc in a false position before the people.

Dialogue between a Soldier and a Copperhead. 4 Arch. Johnson—Well, my young soldier friend, I am a candidato for tho Legislature, and 1 would be glad to have your vote.

Soldier—What are your political antecedents? A. J.—Oh I am a National Union man. I co-operate with Andy Johnson in his policy of reconstruction. I desire to let by-gones be by gonos, admit tho Southern States to all their rights and privileges, as tho' no. war had taken place. I am, as Andy says, willing to trust Southern' men in the halls ol" Congress. 1

Soldier—If elected to tho Legislature, who do you propose to support for United States Senator?

A. J.—I think I shall voto for D. W. Yoorhees the tall sycamoro of the Wabash.

Soldier—Is Yoorheos the man who in his speeches declarod ho "would never voto another man or another dollar to carry on this unholy abolition war?"

A. J.—Well, I believe ho did utter some such sentimont, but let by-gones be by-gones.

Soldier—Did Mr. Yoorhoes sanction and support tho Chicago platform and resolutions, concoctcd and brought forth by rebels, copperheads and their sympathizers, declaring the, "war a failure?"

A. J.—Candor compels me to admit such to havo been the caso. Soldier—That is as muoh as I want to know to enablo me to vote intelligibly. I don't propose to train in such company. I shall vote for the bravo, patriotic and honest Capt. McClaskey, who will help send Gov. Morton, the true friend of the soldier, to the United States Senato. I havo fought with Capt. McClaskey to save the Union and 6ubdue traitors, and 1 want Gov. Morton, who has been tried and found true, to havo a scat in the Senato for the purpose of exacting guarantees from traitors before they are entrusted with power. If Voorhees was unfaithful during the war, he might, if elected, Johnsonize us. I ahtUl not trust him. Farewell, Mr. Johnson.

Colonel Stokes or Tennessee And Jobnson. Colonel Wm. B. Stokes, one of Tennessee's most distinguished sons, has a somowhat different opinion of Mr. Johnson's habits from that expressed by tho Copperhead papers. He gives a very graphic description of a scene which occurred in tho East room of the Executive Mansion on the inauguration. Mr. Stokes was an eye witness of what occurred. Mr. Stokes says: "An immense concourse of peoplo filled the Executive Mansion. The Vice President was too weary, or timid, or sick, or eomething else, to escort Mrs. Lincoln, as was customary for ono in his position on such occasion, so Mr. Sumner had to wait upon the lady. Johnson sat on the sofa in the back part of the room, with a colored man by his side, soliloquizing as follows: "I'm Vice President of these United States 1 hie. I've taken the oath and been sworn in, by God hie. Sumner says I'm from tho Territory of Tennossee. Thcro he goes now with the Queen 1 hie. I've taken the oath and I am Vice President, and he says I'm from tho Territory of Tennessee 1 There ho goes with the Qncen, and I'm sitting hero with my colored friend on the sofa. I'm abetter friend to the black man than ho is! hie. His is theoretical and mine is practical friendship. Just look at me sitting by my colored friend, by God hie."

"Moses" Making Treason Odious. Henry A. Wise, one of tho most notorious and infamous rebols in the land, refused to take the oath of amnesty prescribed by Mr. Johnson himself, as a pre-requisite to the restoration of confiscated property, and yet the President has issuod an order requiring all of the property heretofore owned by this malignant and perfidious traitor to be rostorcd

Pres. Jobnson at Indianapolis. While Andrew Johnson was military Governor of Louisiana, he was invited by the patriotic people of Indiana to visit Indianapolis. He did so, and thousands will rccall tho moro than magnificent reception awarded him— they will recall his speech, his burning words of denunciation against the domocratic or copperhead organization, and his cheering words of sympathy with the policy and aims of tho Republican party. Whole acres of loyal add true heart.1 then greeted him with chccr after cheer, and hung with rapture upon his patriotic words.— changod was tho sccno presented on his visit last Monday. Not a loyal heart freed from tho influence of "broad and butter," bade him welcome tho very people who had choored and greeted him on his former visit, refused to hear him speak. Thousands gathered to hear and see Gen. Grant, but there wero none so poor as to do reverence to Andrew Johnson.

Tho party was met at the depot in silence, and almost in silence conducted to tho Bates House, whero tho President attempted to speak, but tho incessant cries- for Grant drowned his voice and ho had to rctiro. Such arc the rewards of treachery. After the Presidont and his party retired within the hotel, the cry was raised by rebel sympathizers, "Clean out the radicals!" and immediately a row commenced, which resulted in the death of one Union man and the sevoro wounding of several othors. We regret, and every peaceablo man will regret, this occurrence, will regret that tho President was not allowed to say what ho pleased. But, since tho President and his friends have becomo inciters and defenders of murderous mobs, thoy, at least, ought not to complain of the outbreak at Indianapolis. If it was right for rebels in New Orleans to murder men becau30 they did not like their principles and speeches, it will" be difficult to mako it appear that any wrong was done to Andrew Johnson! and his rebel friends at Indianapolis,

Stop That Lie.

Tho Johnsontcoppcrhoad papers are claiming Gen. Grant as a supporter of Andy Johnson's policy, and hoping to seo .tho Union journals commence abusing him. Tho "wish is father to the thought." We have too much evidence that Gen. Grant is in favor of the reconstruction plan of Congress, tc doubt oithcr his loyalty, bravery or patriotism'^ We loave tho work of slander and defamation of our brave soldiers to such unmitigated rebels as "Brick" Pomcroy and his admirers.

General Grant Denounced. Tho La Crosso Democrat, published by an unreconstructed rebel, styling himself "Brick" Pomeroy, gets off the following infamous article upon Gen. Grant, which it will bo noticed is not only an attack upon Gen. Grant but every private soldier who served under him: "Ah, but old dog of Galena, your teeth aro gone, and as the age of miracles has passed away you are not likely to grow a new set right away. What an aspiration for a man by whose orders tho torch swept tho fair and beautiful Shenendoah Iscro fiddling, dancing, and revelling over tho wreck of burning, did not ask another Rome to satiate his passiops, but Gen. Grant, who planned deeds, and caused, by his agents, horrors at which the civilized icorld stood aghast, is dissatisfied becauso the war did not last a year longer, that he might have used the persuasive agoncios of tho torch, rope, pillage and murder upon. portions of the South still unvisited." r.

Logan, wo submit tho following statoment from the editor of the Lowiston Falls (Maine) Journal, who had tho recent familiar interview with Gen. Grant, at the studio of a Maine artist in Washington, and whoso account of it was published far and wide

through a gontleman who has been intimate with Gen. Grant for tho last few months, that his sj*mpathies in tho present political crisis are wholly with Congress, and that he is entirely opposed to tho tyrannical and egotistical course of President Johnson.— We know that such are the sentiments of tho General—so that what comfort the Copperheads can extract from his presence at tho White Houso on Satuiday, at tho reception of the Padlock Committee, they aro extremely welcome to."

Mr. Johnson branded the Feni

ans, in an official proclamation, as "evil disposed persons," and yet the Copperheads have the effrontery to ask tho Fenians of this city to turn out and welcome tho man who had thus spoken of thorn, and by whoso orders their bread and other provisions, purchased with money contributed by thepoor laboring Irishmen and women, to assist in the liberation of their mother country, was seized and confiscated, while the bravo men ibr whom it was intended, were packed like sheep in a miserable flat-boat in the middle of the .Niagara river, without food and shelter, and unablo to join their friends in Canada

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 15, '65.

Governor W. L. Sharkley, Jackson, Mississippi

I am gratified to see that you havo organized your Convention without difficulty. I hopo that without delay your Convention will amend your State Constitution, abolishing slavery and denj-ing to all future Legislatures property in man also that they will adopt the amendment to tho Constitution of the United States abolishing slavery. If you could -extend the olectivo franchise to all persons of color who can read the Constitution of tho United States in English and write their names, and to all persons of color who own real estate valued at not less than two hundred and fifty dollars, and pay taxes thereon, you would completely disarm the adversary and set an examplo the other States will follow. This you can do with perfect safety, and you thus place the Southern States, in reference to persons of color, upon tho same basis' with the free Statos. I hope and trust your Convention will do this, and, as a consequence, the Radicals, who aro wild upon negro franchise, will bo completely foiled in their attempt to keep the Southern States from renewing their relations to the Union by not accepting their Senators and Representatives.—Andrew Johnson.

AUGUSTA, Me., Sept. 10.

We have gained an overwhelming and unparalled Union victory, carrying the State by more than 25,000 majority. We have carried overy Congressional District the weakest by nearly 4,000 majority. Wo have swept every county in the State, clectod every Senator, and secured fully ninctenths of tho whole number of the House of Representatives.

The great victory has been won against the most desperate efforts of the Copperheads, aided by the patronage of the National Administration.

A Representative Copperhead.

That foul mouthed rebel spy,' wht was drummed out of the Federal lines during tho war, by Gen. Prentiss, called "Brick" Pomeroy. is perambulating this State, making speeches in behalf of the rebel cause. He speaks his piece at Madison in a few days, and has already spoken at Terro Haute and other places.

This same "Brick" POME HOY made a speech to tho Democratic Club of of this city on invitation.

That our readers may know something of*this infamous copperhead's! antecedents, wo publish a fowspcci-' mens below. "IF you wish to bo piled mountain high on this niggerized hecatomb, voto for Abraham Lincoln, tiio equal traitor with Jeff. Davis, and the Republican candidate for re-election, to tho oflico ho has dishonored and disgraced.''— "Brick" Pomcroy.

Seo Crawfordsvillo Review, Oct. 15, 18G4.

From tlic State Juurn.il, August.'•).

Tho beast known as "Brick" Pomeroy, editor of the Lacrosse (Wisconsin) Democrat, has been imported into this State by tho copperhead managers, to deliver democratic speeches.

He was notorious while the war lasted for his advocacy of tho rebel cause, and for tho recommendations with which his paper abounded in favor of] assassinating all who stood in the way of its success. On the 29th of Aug., 1864, ho published in his rebel sheet! tho following infamous sentence 'IfLfiicoIn is elected (or aiiolher lour years, we trust some hold

hand will pierce his heart with

Dagger point for the public good.' The hope of thcmons/cr was realized, Mr. LINCOLN did fall b}' tho hand of an assassin, and tho wretch who inoitcd the murder proclaimed his beastial joy in tho following style: "The war is virtually ended. "Whero aro the »vill-otho-wisp statesmen and Generals, who led the Abolition party through tho bloody lanos of.tyrranny and power, from pluder to corruption?

Where is Lincoln, the patron saint of niggcrism, who owes so much to John Wilkes Booth, and who is well nigh forgotten already, with hardlg a dozen to revere his memory .. "Wo deprecate assassination, yet wo feel to thank God for calling .Lincoln home, wherever that home may be. The

will of God always be dono on ear as it is done in lieaven. Xot all tho cannon in tho world ever sent an ccho so far into tho futuro as did tho report of a pistol that fated night in a Washington.theater, whero great men were players and nations the spectators. It broke tho spell. It gavo tho country a statesman for President. It flashed its sic semper tyrrannis from Maine to the golden strands of our Western boundaries, and halted the advance of usurpation most effectually."

The Dutch justice who wound

up a marriage ceremony by saying "thus I pronounce you man and wife, now where ish mino dollar?" was not moro importunato than tho New Hampshire delegation to the Wigwam. As soon as its deliberations closed, theso sturdy beggars hurriod to Washington to present a resolution to Andrew Johnson, declaring "that if tho conservative party cannot bo sustained by the whole powor and patronage of the Administration, it will bo a useloss effort to sustain its policy."— Was thore ever a moro shameless exhibition, at onco of grocd for office and tho inherent weakness of a cause for which tho votes of independent freomen aro solicited.

Wallacc, lato Judgo of tho Circuit Court of this dirtrict, died at his residence in Marion, on Sunday, tho 26th nit., after a short illness. -Judge Wallace was a gentleman of fine talents, and urbane manners.
