Gov. RICHARD J. OG-LESBY of Illinois—" Fighting Dick of Fort Donelson—will positively speak at Crawfordsville, on the 10th.

TIN: isi i(i!LK» DKMOJEACY.

The Democracy are getting into close quarters for political capital. Atone time they thought they had something good in Pendleton's idea of printing more greenbacks and payingoti'the public debt with them. Unfortunately for Pendleton he made that idea very prominent and.when he went to New York to get the Democratic nomination for the Presidency that"idea" ruined him. '-The thieve.* of bondholders," according to the

Enquirer,

•'crucified him." This

greenback gun of the Democracy was very effectually spiked the other day in the .Massachusetts State Convention by the following resolution -.L'esolred,

That gold and silver

coin is the only constitutional legal tender, and while we would have but one currency for all, the Democracy of Massachusetts, now as in the past, are true to their old faith in hard money, and demand that it be restored to the people at the earliest moment consistent with the interests of the business and labor of the country."

Now lay that resolution alongside of the resolution passed by the Democracy in Indianapolis on the 8th of January, or with the resolution passed by the District Convention of the unterrified at Covington, and you will find they are utterly at variance. One says the only "lawful tender" is hard money, while the other cries out for more greenbacks. Come, gentlemen, let's hear no more from you on this subject until you can agree among ^yourselves as to what you mean. If you are in favor of anything, let's know what it is, and try and arrange among yourselves to sing the same tune. Your song on the money question is too discordant. Try and give us a little more harmony or change \your tune.
