To the Patrons of the Journal. As the readers of the JOURNAL were ^informed in its last issue, Messrs.

MCCAIN* and HENDRICKS have become proprietors of the paper. The issue of the 16th was the. last publication for I which the undersigned is responsible. •A parting Word may not be amiss.

Fellow-Republicans, I thank you for the support and favor so readily and constantly given me during the time 'the paper was under my control. If it has failed to equal your expectations, ,the failure was through 110 lack of labor .. and care

tthis, it is due to truth to add that it is your acknowledged county organ, and that its weakness is in fact attributable to your neglect to give it the patronage so abundantly at your disposition.

This is not said captiously. 1 am not Agoing off sore-headed: I have not lost money. My object is, if possible, to aid my successors. They will establish the JOURNAL upon a better footing than ever. They will add steam-power press'es, more type and better material to the office, they will enlarge the paper, and make it in all respects one of the very best printing establishments in the Stats.

They will execute your job work in the highest style of the art. They will furnish you besides, reading matter which will be the unadulterated pabulum of patriots. All this they* will do, "without resorting to blade-mail, or asking alms of youj to sustain them. They will make it a free-press, .unbought by a venal clique, bold to declare iis principles, unshackled inits enunciation of Republican doctrine.-^'- You can then have no excuse for neglecting it or them. 'They only ask remuneration for. their labor. Will you -»©t labor to sustain them in their enterprise, by extending to them your patronage Remember the canvass so close upon us, and the mighty issues involved in it, and that whoever is a servant in the labor, lias .claims upon your generosity and gratitude.

Yoti may be neglectful, but it is notmj* experience tliatybu are ungrateful.' ^To the editorial fraternity, at a distance^, il tender my grateful thanks for the maiiy courtesies extended to me.

Orth or Wallace.

It is now conceded that the tight, .for-the nomination for Congress will be between Ortli and Wallace. We are of the opinion that Orth will reeerive the nomination 011 the first ballot.—[People's Friend, Covington. 1

We have no doubt but that the wish is father to the thought in the last sentence above. quoted. It is a fact veiy well worthy of the attention of Republicans that at this time the Democratic papers and politicians are very mild 011 Mr. Oi'th. They think lie will be nominated, because it would please them better to 'fight him than Wallace—in other words they sincerely hope he may be the nominee, and so far as the}* can are -trying to forestall public opinion in his favor.

This paper has heretofore had little to say about the nomination for Congress. It has seen the necessity of a change from Orth becoming stronger and stronger every day, aud has desired that if a change be made, the most acceptable candidate, whoever he may be, be selected. 'Montgomery county has had two candidates for that high position in the field, and our predecessor has vei'y properly abstained from attempting in the leafct to create a public opinion for either of the gentlemen. Botli are true Republicans, of high standing both in the part\* and community, and-have remained quiet iu order that the people might decide between

This, we are informed, can certainly be done at the coming election by the proper effort, the defeat this spring having been caused solely by inattontion ruul tinrolcaaness on tile part of Republicans. This should not be.

Relative to these directions we call the attention of-the party in this and the neighboring counties of the Congressional District to the following points:

The whole number of votes cast in the primary election in Tippecanoe was '4,067, In 1866 the entire Republican Vote in that county was 3,460. It is well known that the strength of parties is never brought out at primary contests, yet here we have developed an increased Republican vote of'607. Where did the increase come from Was it legitimate Consult the following instructive table. Republican vote

reason for occupying

neutral ground longer, but in accordance, as wc believe, with the wishes of the rank and file.of the Republicans of this county, we will hereafter give our undivided and hearty support to General Wallacc.

A,.number of reports are going the rounds of our exchanges which are untrue, much to the prejudice of General Wallace, which we desire to correct. We have seen it stated that Boone county lias instructed for Orth, a most: serious mistake. We not only know* that she has done no such! thing, but Ave also know that most of her delegates are very much impressed with the necessity of a change. Another report ha& it that-Warren county lias iristrubtfed for Orth, a statement entirely Without foundation/ .Still another report has it that' "General Milroy has declared in favor of Orth." So for is this from being true that that gentleman has not only nof done any sueli thing, but is an open and avowed advocate of the. nomination of General Wallace igiving as his reason therefoi* the general good of the party iii this district.

In these elections past 110 gains are shown. The conclusion arrived at is plainly that somebody in the primary election under consideration drew heavily upon the Democracy—drew to at least the amount of 607—rand how many more will-never be known. Who made this draft? 'Our object does not require an answer. The point is that the'dircc tion of the Central Committee Avas violated there was not a fair election. Democrats voted by hundreds, and the veiy impossibility of ascertaining what per cent, of Mr. ORTII'S majority ovdr his competitors is Democratic, nullifies any claim in his favor founded upon the election as an expression of the- party opinion:

After the club Avas organized and two or throe speeches WTere made, five prominent Democrats came forward and gave their names-to the club and on being called, made effective speeches for the "great captain," and assured the club they would be foremost in the great politnckl fight this fall.
