P. S. KENNEDY",

Chairman U. C. Committee.

The Harmonious Democracy. On Wednesday last, tho copporhoad Democracy had a pow-wow in this city, at which a resolution was submitted by a committee of financial adepts on the subject of the public debt. Col. S. C. Willson, Thomas Patterson, Esq., and Gon. Manson took the ground that tho "bonds" ought to be paid according to contract, that is where tho law specified tlieir payment in gold they ought to bo paid in gold, & where tho law says they ought to bo paid in greenbacks or legal tender notes, they should be so paid. This is all an honest people ought to require, and the Republicans will not complain. But the

JBrick Pomero}7 wing of the Democracy objected, and quite a lively debate sprung up in the meeting. While a portion of the "Drickites" contended for the entiro payment of the bonds in greenbacks, which thoir patron saint says virtually amounts to repudiation, a number of tho Simon Pares wore outspoken in favor of repudiating the wholo debt. It was difficult to determine which wing of the party had the preponderance, or in what shape the resolution passed. But of one thiDg ^there can be no mistake, and that is that the the tendency of that party is towards repudiation, and to that complexion it will come at last.

A resolution of a rather significant! character was also introduced, to the effect that if the Democratic candidate for Governor wa3 dieted, he must servo the regular gubernatorial term. This was a palpable hit at Tom Hendricks, who will not consont to be a candidate, unless, in case the legislature shall bo Democratic, he is to be returned to the U. S. Senate. Gen. Manson in speaking on this subject stated that all tho members of the Legislature who voted for Gov. Morton for Senator had perjured themselves.- Thomas Patterson, .Esq., the able and oloqu'ent young champion of tho bogus Democracy, successfully combatted Gen. Manson's position, and tho resolution was defeatod. The resolution was gotten up by tho friends of Hon. J. E. McDonald to choko off Hendricks, and give Mc. a sight for U. S. Senator.

/r

If 'iho .Republicans do their duty at tho October elections wo aro inclined to beliovo these gentlemen will have no trouble in settling the matter, as somo loyal man will represent Indiana in the U. S. Sonato, and support Gen. Grant in his administration of the Government.

The only resolution upon which they all agreed was that they were opposed to negro suffrage hero and elsewhere, now and forever. As negro suffrage was introduced in New York by Martin Yan Buren and the Democracy, wo suppose the Democrats of this county, will speedily irTetruct their fellow Copperheads of tho

Democracy responsible for inaugura-

(ting

Empire Stato to abolish tho custom, or! it with energy to completion. From be branded as jacobins and friends of tbe woll known energy and persovenigger equality. Wo can tell these political charlatans that the Republican party, of Indiana, do not intend to, make negro suffrage, nor any other -extraneous subject, political issues but they do intend to hold tho copperhead

the rebellion, for prolonging tho

war after it commenced, and the pub-! citizens may banish all their fears, the lie debt as tho result of their tieas'ona-1 road is a-fixed-fact.

bio acts. Had-the Democracy submitted to tho voice of tho peoplo as expressed through'the.ballot box, thero would have boon no war had there boon no war, ive should not bavo to doplore a great national burthen in the shape of a national debt. And as this debt stands as a record of Demo erfttic. treasQU, it. ig not to.bewondered at, that that party is anxious to wipe it out by repudiation, or any other dishonest plan, so as to efface tho infa my that attaches to its skirts.

"Well do wo remember tho night ho visited our office, where a number of Democrats had met in caucus, previ oua to the convention...^Uninvited, he forced himself in and proffered unasked for advico and manifested a "copperhead" spirit in opposition to tho war of tho most "dj.sloy.al." character. —Review.

And we distinctly assert that the above is a wilful and deliberate falsehood. At tho time spoken of we lived three miles in tho country, and for seven months wo were not in town after night-fall. Wo attended no caucus in BOWEN'S office, but the Democrats did caucus our

name unsolicited 'iac'

of its leaders, and to test I ho matter wo requested Mr. FAUST tochiingc the ticket and put our namo on for Supervisor. Wo did not go to the polls where they were voting for candidates, but wero reliably informed that just before the polls closed, upon count, wc had a majority, and that several Copperheads swore we wero a d—d Breckenridge Domoerat, and should be beat, and after drumming up all tho Irish they could find, they succeeded. With the aid of JOHN LEE and other Democrats, wo did try to keep the Democracy loyal, but when wo found that they, with BOWEN at their head, were running into tho treasonable organization known as theK. G. C.'s, we left them. It must have been DODD, who came hero about that time to organize the Sons of Liberty, who "manifested a Copperhead spirit in opposition to tho war," and BOWEN was too drunk to know the difference. When JOIIN LEE made his loyal speech at DAVID NOGGLE'S Grove, which BOWEN endorsed, we supposed tho Democracy intended to be patriotic and aid and assist in tho suppression of the rebellion but DODD arrived in our city afterwards and seduced the leaders and most of the rank and file into his treasonable organization. Tho leaders notified BOWEN that ho must change tho tone of the Review, or they would establish another paper. BOWEN caved —JOHN LEE succumbed—and tho Review became as rabid a rebel sheet as tho "Chattanooga Rebel," or anj7 other Southern paper. We ostoem it an honor that we left a party that lent its aid to the enemies of our country in their efforts to dissolve tho Union and destroy tho last vestige of freedom und constitutional liberty.

General Grant.

Tho Copperhead Democracy, realizing the fact that tho popularity of General Grant is steadilj- on the increase, and that his nomination for the Proaidency is demanded by tho voice of the peoplo, are resorting to the detestable trick of claiming him as a member of their party, in order to prejudice tho Republicans against him, "Q," say tho Copperhead leaders, "if you elect him he will Johnson izo you." On tho first page of this paper, we publish the General's letters to "Moses"' on the removal of Stanton and Sheridan, which clearly show that his sympathies and sentiments are in perfect accord with tho principles of the Republican party of the Union. There, is no man in the United States who has so linn a hold on tho affec-

The East and West Railroad. Tho grading, grubbing and clearing the road-bed from this cit}' to Indianapolis, has been awarded to our townsmen, Messrs. Wallace, Yance, McConnell and Craig, who will immediately begin the work and prosecute

ranco of the above named gentlcmerr, we have every assurance that their work will be accomplished iu tho shortest possible time. The timber and tie contract has been awarded to Mr. Chandler, of Dovor, New Jersey, who is now upon tho ground and will enter at oaco upon the work. Our

tions of tho people as General Grant, bent, J, M. Wilson of Fayotto county, Judtrc Edward Wilson, of Jefferson hence tho uneasiness of the Democracy, who fear and tremble at tho idea of his being a candidate. No wondei thoy try to damage him in the estimation of loynl men by claiming him as a member of their factious organization. The trick is too shallow, and tho Cops may as well submit to their fate, for if tho conqueror of Leo and his Northern coadjutors lives, he will bo tno next President of the United States Iho peoplo have willed it, and tho will of the peoplo must bo obeyed. Selah!

The IBappy Family

WC do not wish to interfere in the political differences existing in tho "happy democratic family," but would like to see a full report of the controversy between General Hanson, war Democrat, and Dr. Dorsey, rebel Democrat, just at the close of the Copperhead convention on Wednesday. The Doctor, we learn, gave the General to understand that he had not voted for him, and would support no man for officS who had been eiij^agecTin the "impleasantness" between the Government and the Secesh. The General politely informed the Doctor that he (the Doctor-* was an infernal rebel, always had been one, ul looked tlirough the grates of a prison, and would have kicked him out of the convention, if lie had not been opposed to causing an inharmonious state of feeling among the unterrifiett. Go in General, you are on the right track. Purge the party—it needs purification

liccney vs. Bowen,

Madison Kecney, editor of'thoKockvilie Republican, thus commences an articlo in reply to an attack from the Review: "An obscure paper (Review) published at Crawfordeville, which is seldom over seen or spoken of outsido of the whisky saloons of that city, whose editor has gone crazy on the subject of 'fni^ers," and who in his best aaj^s

fcadgc that distinguished him

with a pin feather, as to expect any thing you can say to touch Bowen's feelings. Ho has no moral .susceptibility.

The Cincinnati Enquirer's 1 ndianapolis special says that Senator Hendricks will bj nominate 1 a-3 Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana by acclamation. Delegates to the national convention and an electoral ticket will be selected at tho Stato convention. Geo. II. Pendleton is the favorite with the Indiana Democracy as a candidate for the Presidency.

The New Yoi World is the ablest and most influential Democratic newspaper in tho United States. It de nounces Pendleton's scheme for repudiation as an outrage upon the National credit. There is no uniformity of sentiment between the Eastern and Western Democratic journals on this subject.

Candidates.

\Yc notico that the Frankfort Banner has suggested the name of Jamos N. Sims, Esq., the Lebanon Patriot, the name of Hon. Harvey G. llazelrigg. and tho Delphi Journal, tho name of Gen. Robert II. Milroy. as suitable candidates for Congress in this.District.

TI»e State Canvass.

We aro about entering upon an exciting State canvass. The Democrats hold their convention at Indianapolis on tho 8th of January, and tho Republicans on tho 20th of February, at the same place. Lieutenant Governor Baker and Lion. Will. Cumback are ihe contesting candidates for tho Republican nomination for Governor.— Wo consider any party having for its leaders men of such high moral worth exceedingly fortunate. Not a word can be said .against either of them as gentlemen Christians. They are models in this respect, and stand out in Bharp contrast to maii3r who are more pretent is in I ambitious in the political aren

Tho promi mdidates for Lieutenant Governor are Isaac Jenkinson, proprietor of the Kurt W:t3*ne Gazette, Colonel Richmond, of KoUomo, and Judgo Martindale, of Indianapolis, all clever and able gentlemen.

For Auditor of State there arc quite a number of candidates, among whom we mention Hon. Albert Lange, \Y. II. Terrell, Major John D. Evans, of Marion, T. C. Slaughter, of Harrison. Fi. W. II. Ellis, of Efkhnrt, James Wildman, of Howard, audi). W. Tomlinson of Cass.

For Secretary of Stale, Colonel R. S. Shryock, of Fulton county, John I. Morrison, of Mariofi count}', and S. F. Messner, of Warren county, are urged by their respective friends.

For Attorney General, Hon. D. E. Williamson, the present able incum-

county, and Hon. Thos. H. Nelsou of Torre Haute, are prominent. General Kimball, the present effluent Treasurer, is a candidate without opposition for nomination.

Captain T. W. McCoy, of Clark co.. is the. only prominent candidate we have heard mentioned for Clerk of the Supreme Court, lie was a noble soldier, having risin from th8 ranks to a captaincy upon his merits. He is also a fine lawyer and a very eloquent and able speaker. Wo have no doubt of his capacity or integrity, and if elected he will make a lino and acceptable officer.

Sinco tho abovo was written, we notice thatD. I. Jacksbn, of Jasper, has been mentioned by his friends as a candidate for clerk of tho Supreme Court.

For Reporter of tho Supromo Court, General .BEN. IIABRISON is generally conceded to bo entitled to a renomination. lie is one of tho very ablest men in Indiana No man of his years whom wo have ever known surpasses him in solid ability and finished oratory.' His abilities ure really superb.

For Superintendent of Public Instruction, J. M. OLCOTT, of Vigo Prof. JOHN YOUNG, of Marion A. C. Shortridge, of Marion. Prof. Carlton, of Union, and Hon. John I. Morrison, are pressed b}' their various friends. This is one of the most important offices in tho State and should be made to command tho highest talent.—Lafayette -Journal. «•*.»

Contraction.

'The people of Indiana will be gratified to know that our Senator has no part in.tho responsibility of delaying action on tho Housejbill suspending currency contraction. The dispatches published in yesterday's Journial show that, Senator Morton made an earnest but unsuccessful effort to secure action on tho bill, tho previous day.

Although his motion was unauccessr ful, it had tho effect to draw out a let tor addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury to tho Finance Committee, in which that functionary stated that it was not his intention to retire or cancel any United States Notes this month, "and that tho condition of the Treasury will no: admit of any contraction next month.

He further states that ho will not continue to oxerciso his power of curtailment unless ho has reason to sup-" poso that that ho will be sustained in so doing by Congress, nor until Congress has determined tho future financial policy of the Government.

So much, thon, has been gained, and business men may breathe moro freely, now that they are assured that thero will be no moro contraction until Congress Congress shall declare itself in favor thereof, which this Congress will not do.

But this matter should not bo left in the discretion of the Secretary. The bill ought to bo passed, and must be —Ind. Jonr, 2lst.

We find tho following choice scrap in the The Democrat, a Copperhead "eight by ten" published in that true Democratic county of Jackson. "II. II. DODD.—Wo owe this gentleman an apology. At and after the time of his escape from the postoffice building at Indianapolis, we believed, and so published, that he was permitted to escapo by virtue of a previous agreement with Governor Morton. This was not true. He affected his escapo through his two little boys, who wero permitted to take him his meals. They took him a string, and on a night agroed upon, tho boys got a ropo off a derrick that stood on the opposito sido of the street, and Mr. Dodd let down the string, which his boys tied to tho rope, which was then hauld up and fastened to a bedstead, and Mr, Dodd descenod. Tho soldiers who guarded Mr.- Dodd and his companions wero stationed in, and outside, tho buiiding. Mr. Dodd wont to a private house in tho city, where he was sccretod so well by two ladies that tho man of tho house did not know ho was there. After staying in his hiding placo about a month, ho left, walked through the city in bread daylight, got on tho cars and went to Canada,"

Currency*

On tho 9th instant, Hon. J. F. Wilson, of Iowa, introduced into the IIouso of Representatives a bill authorizing the Stato authorities to tax non-interest bearing notes designed to circulate as money, and repealing all acts inconsistent therewith.

A chicken-thief, at Stcubenvillc, Ohio, tho other night, stole twelve hens, and left a wallet containing §30 in tho coop.

Tho New York Evening I'ost is out in favor of General Grant for I retident. '-Of his fitness," it says, 'there is no question, and as to his principles, it is known that they aro patriotic, just and firm."

THE NEW YORK LEDGER.

TI1E GREl FAM1L PAVER.

ALL THE GREATEST WRITERS WRITE FOR IT

Tho reapon that the NEW YORK LEDGER, has the largest circulation is, that it is the HKST PAI'KII. Why should it not have tho largest circulation? *i'ore labor, more talent, more money arc bestowed upon it than upon any other paper. Its moral tono is always pure and elevated. The leading Clergymen of the United States, the Presidents of the principal Colleges, the greatest Potts, Wifs and Statesmen of the country, are among the contributors to its columns. The reader a lways gets more thpn his money's worth in the Ledger. Wo have always had the best writers, and always shall have them, cost what it may. Whatever we have promised in our advertisements heretofore, our readers will bear us witness that we have always performed: and not only that, but a great, deal more. For instance, in our last Prospectus, wc announced a story by IIKNRY WARD UKECIIKK, which wc gave but wo did not announco HORACE GRKKI.KY'S AI'TOIJTOGRAIMIV, which we are now publishing nor did we announce the scries of Articles entitled ADVICE TO YoujiO MEN, by the Twelve College Presidents, The rule on which the Ledger is eonducted is to get the best of every thing, whether it has been promised or not. The public recognize this fact and it is from their desire to get the very best paper that they give the Ledger tbe preference hence its unparalleled and unapproaehed circulation, being over three hundred thousand copies.

Now, i'or the new year: All our present corps of popular authors willcontinuo to write for the LEDGER wc shall begin tho new year with a new story by MRS. SOUTH WORTH the HON".

SINGER SEWING MACHINES. New York State Fair.

The State Fair just closcd (at Buffalo) wa-s anunexampled success in nearly every department. Tho interest which usually centers upon sewing machines was not wanting. It was intensified, doubtless, by tho angry (and not altogother rcpu-. tabic) dispute which has arisen over tho "medals" said to have been awarded at tho Paris Exposition. But theso raodals counted for nothing hero, for the judges insisted upon a thorougn examination for themselves of the several machines in competition, and the result was a unanimous report awarding the highest prize to the exhibitors of the "Singer" for tho best family sewing machine also for the best manufacturing machine, an also for the best button-holo machine. A clean sweep and a righteous judgement say those who aro bost informed. It was suggested by many who saw the magniOcent display mado of those machines, and tbe variety and admirable quality of tho work they performed, that tho manufacturers wero remiss in not sending them to the Paris Exposition, and thus havo obviated

bitter controversy boing carried on over tho gold medal. But the Singer Manufacturing Company, whoso sales of machines tor the past year have exceeded forty-threo thousand (somo

thousands

more than any other company in the

world) care more for the "people's verdict," we apprehend, than for all the gold medals that were or could have been awarded at Paris. Tho Exhibition at Buffalo, to which we have alluded, was made by tbe enterprising agents of tho Singer machines in Utica.—
