Stick to It 1 la the Jay County Republican of the ! 221 ult., we find the following paragraph : in justification of Mr- Dents failing to meet Mr. Studabaker in joint discussion. The I ic nf note for the manner it excuses Mr. Dent. Here is the paragraph: "The Jay County Democrat and the i Decatur Eagle, have taken us to task tor saying that Mr. Dent did not meet Mr. j Studabaker on account of sickness in his i family. Both these papers say there was j no sickness in Mr. Dent’s family when Mr. Studabaker invited him to join in the j canvass. If'.his is the case, Mr. Stud a- ; baker must have sent the invitation before Mr. Dent was nominated, for we heard him remark while at the Senatorial Convention at Buffalo, to a gentleman who wished him to stay to supper, that he must burry and get home, his family was unwell.” Now, perhaps an excuse like the above may satisfy the citizens of Jay county, i where Mr. Dent is comparatively little known; but those who are acquainted with the man, and the facts relative to the as- ! diction of Mr. Dent’s family, will not be satisfied with the false position assumed by bis friends in other localities. Mr Dent was invited by Mr. Studabaker to canvass the district jointly, just two days after bis nomination; and at the date of the invitation, no excuse was offered. None was at hand. He neglected to ans-; wer the note; and would make no arrangement for a joint canvass whatever. Why did he refuse those courtesies, which were so cordially extended to him by his competitor, Mr. Studabaker 9 Why did . he not visit Mr. Studabaker alter the in- i viiation and make some arrangement satisfactory to both, or offer some reasonable excuse? The truth is, be had none to offer at the time. Mr. Dent has a rery peculiar way of electioneering, well know to the citizens of this county, and he must not be thrown off his course or he would be lost. This is the proper excuse. III Rarev'b Secret of Horse Taming for 25 Cents. —The above is the caption of an advertisement of about two squares, put forth by T. Tigar, of the Foil Wayne Sentinel, for which he offers a book worth 25 cents, only, to any of his exchanges that will publish it! ! ! Now is not he a whole-souled printer? We wonder how he makes his living? Send on your book Mr Tigar, we have complied with the conditions; but we hope you may never sell one until you raise the price of advertising. besides we think they are entirely too cheap to be gou 1.

Correction. , In our last week’s issue, we published ■an article under the bead of "Dent Op- • posed to Germans,” in which we stated that Mr. Dent was acting in the official capacity of judge ot the election when Germans were refused the elective fran- ■ chise. We were in error in this particular, Mr. Dent at the time was not one of the judges of the election; and as we do not desire to do him any injustice, there- i fore with pleasure, make the proper cor- ■ rection. But that he was there and was the prime mover in that effort to disfran-. chise a portion of the legal voters of this county, simply because they were Demo- j crats, under the pretext of their being) German voters without their final papers,! cannot be denied by those who have the ! least regard for truth. The Germans well understand the estimation in which they were held by Mr. Dent. But as he ' is anxious to be elected and would like the suffrage of those heretofore, by him, denounced as "Dumb Dutch and incapadle of Vonwa!" He and his satilites may deny the charge, and profess friendship for them prior to the evening of the ; election; but it will only be hypocritical. , He has no love for them politically. Hence ' they, injustice to themselves, will vote , against him. Andrew J. Harlan. i This person now occupying the position ' lof high private in the Republican party; andas corporal to John U. Pettit, has I: i heard the cries of their candidate for help and has consented to render his political twin brother, timely assistance, and if) possible save him from that defeat which I ■ awaits him. He has announced by large posters ) throughout this county, that he will ad- ! dress the citizens of this place on the Sth ! inst. He does not say that he is a Republican. No! That would be an exposure I ' and he would be unable to draw as re- I I spectable an assembly, as in days past,! when he was a Democrat. But the citi- ‘ zens of this county well remember the po-; litical treason of this same Andrew J. : Harlan, how that be, Judas-iike, attempted to deceive the party with a kiss, and j sell them for less than thirty pieces of ; I silver. He occupies the same position, and should justly be held by every Dem- i ocrat, as Arnold was held by the fathers lof the Revolution. No person should have any confidence in what he says uo- ... _... r _. v , in the fond embrace of those very men I ! who were his politlical enemies. His) back is turned upon his Ibrmer friends; and | he lias become the slanderer and vilifier of; those who once sustained him. Then Democrats, if you dispise politi- ; cal treason in your party! If you hold in i ! contempt, as you should, a traitor to your ! party and principles, treat this man with that respect he deserves, and let him remain with those that love traitors and applaud treason. Candidates for Sheriff. There are somethings manly in politics, j and there are somethings very unmanly; and it occurs to us that the Republican candidates have adopted the latter course in order to make any showing of success. ) We have been informed that the Re- i publican candidate for the office of Sheriff, is stating, among other things equally untrue, that George Frank, the Democratic candidate, is very unpopular with the De-I mocracy, and that they will not sustain him at Lome; and upon these grounds he expects to be elected, and not, upon the strength of the Republican party in this ! county. Now if these arguments have been used by Mr. Crabs, or his friends, they are Gratuitously made, and without anv reC * * I gard, whatever, for truth. Mr. Frank ■ has ever had the confidence of the Democracy of this county, and will be sustained by every true democrat, and elected, by an overwhelming majority, at the approaching election. He is well quali-! tied to fill the office—will make an efficient officer, and is the choice of the Dem1 ocracv. So fret not thyself, Jacob. The I ’ people in due time will rebuke thee. New Good* at the White Corner. ; Nuttman & Crawford has received their i Fall and Winter Goods. Their stock is , unusually large, embiacing everything ; ever kept in stores, and of the best quall ities. They are now prepared to sell s I goods cheaper than they were ever sold ’ in this county before. We have exam- ■ ined some of their goods and unhesitatingt ly pronounce them the best, richest and j most beautiful assortment of goods that we have ever seen in this market. Give ■ them a call and examine their goods, and • ‘ you cannot but admit the truth of what we say.

. /'JTWe clip the following article from the Bluff'ton Banner, of the 24th inst.: Switched off the Track Again. I We understand that Hon. John U. Pettit abandoned his appointments through Jay county last week, and returned home to Wabash. He reported on the cars on Friday last, that it was useless for him to canvass the counties of Adams, Jay and 1 Blackford, as he could not get an audience. We are further informed that he had understood that Coffroth was after him again and dreading another such exposure as be received here and at Warren, he abandoned the field. ■ This will explain why the Republicans j of this county refuse to accept the propoI sition we made them, in our last issue, for a joint discussion between Messrs. Cof- ' froth and Pettit. Mr. Pettit says that it ! is useless for him to visit Adams county. He dreads the exposure of his votes while in Congress, which he knows are obnoxious to his constituents; therefore he backs I out and refuses to meet Mr. Coffroth.— Then all we ask of the Republicans of this county, is to acknowledge the truth and*, admit that their candidate dare nut meet Mr. Coffroth on the stump. Still They Come. It has become a well established fact, i I I in this country, that Israel Miesse can,j ( and does, sell more harness, awl of a bet- , ter quality, than any other shop in North | eastern Indiana. If there be ary whop are so foolish as to doubt our word, just ; let them buy one set of his harness, ano if they don’t acknowledge, that we have, ) instead of exagerating the truth, faled to do it justice, we will give them ou: old hat with pleasure. ( Grocery and Bakery. J. R. Sipes, has just receiveda very , large and splendid assortment offamily groceries, of the best quality, wlich he , is now selling very cheap. Givi him a call, you cannot fail to be suited; he has every thing in his line of business, and is i at all times ready and willing to wait up-; on his many customers. See advertise-! ! ment in another column of to-days paper. The Republican Party and the Prohibitory Liquor Law. The odious prohibitory liquor law of j 1855 was enacted by the Republican pn- j ty —was one of the fruits of the fusion of : that year. It has been pronounced unI constitutional by the Supreme Court,) and that decision has met with the approval of a large majority of the people i )of the State. The law yet remains upon : the statue book, in consequence of the re-I ; fore last to concur in the bill for its re- : i peal, which passed the Democratic I House on the 26th of January, 1 857. If I the Republicans are successful in elect- ' ing their candidates for Supreme Court, | and have the control of both branches of the next Legislature, it is their intention, !by reversing the decision of the present; ! bench, to again put the law in force.— ; Under the cover of "bleeding Kansas” i they hope to revive that act —repudiated Iby the people and bythe highest judical tribunal of the State. On the passage of the bill in the House repealing the law, there were sixty-nine votes in the affirmative, all Democrats, with two or three exceptions, and eighteen Republican votes against it. Among the few Republicans who voted for the repeal of the law was Mr. Todd of Marion, while the other member, Jonathan jW, Gordon, now Republican candidate for re-election, voted against the repeal of I the Law. In the Senate, on the third reading of the bill, on motion of a Republican Senator, by vote of every Republican Senator constituting that body, !it was laid upon the table and thus defeated. Only Democratic Senators voted against laying the bill on the table, and thus in favor of its repeal. The law was enacted by the Republican party, and it remains upon the statute book, in consequence of the refusal of the Republican Senate to repeal it. The Republican party are responsible for the prohibitory Law. If they are not in favor of it, why is it that they refused to repeal it when they had an opportunity to do so, by concurring in a bill which had passed the House 'to expunge it from the statute books? It is clearly evident that the Republican party intend to stand by the law. ! Every vote for the Republican candidates for Suoreme Judges and for Republican j candidates for the Legislature, will vote in favor of sustaining the piohibitory ; law of 1855. — Dekalb Democrat. “Old Kentucky.” The Democratic press of old Kentucky are almost unanimous in advocating the election of Senator Douglas over Lincoln, the Abolition candidate of the Washington Union. The Owensboro’ Democrat says: I "The Democracy of this portion of Kentucky, look upon Stephen A. Douglas as being a true-hearted Union loving man, a true Democrat and a sound conservative statesman, and to lose his wise counseling in the Senate chamber of the I United States, the loss of the South will be irreparable. This man Lincoln who is opposing Douglas is an avowed Aboli- . tionst and supported by the Black Republicans of Illinois en masse. What in- ■ terest could it be to the South to elect such a man over Senator Douglas?”

a Loint Canvass a Failure—-Dirty Democratic Trick. j The joint canvass of Messrs. Pettit and > ! Joffroih has failed. Coffroth, when it ' I ame to the point, backed down from his 1 orn proposition. They were to have met - a Somerset on the 21st., or rather Coff--1 nth had an appointment there, and Pet--5 U went over to meet him for the purpose Lrf making arrangements. Coffroth was ■; ratified that Pettit was coming sobe (C.) ! vas ‘unavoidably hindered.’ On Mon-. 1 i diy of last week Pettit succeeded in get- j ! tng a conference with him, but could on- ’; 1- arrange for two meetings, one at Ro- [ awake and the other at Ossian, both in : luntington county, They met on Tues-! my at the former place. It was arrtnged that the time should be equally di- j ! viced and that Pettit should open and ; !clae. Mr. Cofiroth, when his time was ( i ou, asked an extension, which Mr. Pettit | iwihhis usual liberality and courtesy, ] 'gnnted. After stating a few doubtful ( | acs which he would do when he arrived f at Washington (!) he undertook to cate- - chse Mr. Pettit, whose position on all the ] questions before the people is so well < kiown. But when Mr. Pettit got up to , .answer, Coffroth withdrew from the meet- I ’ ing and was fullowod by nearly ail his , friends. A few Democrats, who had been . ’ i decently raised, had good manners enough | ; : to keep them in their seats. 1 The next morning Mr. Pett.it started , for Ossian, but before getting half the t distance, his buggy, a new one, broke : ] down. Upon examination it was found ■ that one of the spindles had been cut;, nearly oft. Now wasn’t this a bip ousi- ] ness? Possibly, while Pettit was answer- 1 1 ing Coffroth’s questions at Roanoake, the > friends of Coffroth were out cutting Pet-) | tit’s buggy to pieces. This is as nice a 1 business as the union of the Democracy ; ] and the lewd woman of Wabash. It is now understood that Coffroth nev- , er intended to canvass with Pettit. He : j has been tiffing about the matter to pre- : vent a general canvass.— Howard. Tribune. , We have been for some years connected with the Press, and for some time engaged as conductor of a public journal. tV e ; thought we had become seasoned to, and ! versed in the various tricks and artifices ! of political mountebanks, and the lies and ) perversions resorted |o, to sustain a sinking cause; but we must confess that the ) ; above article brought us down. For base and unblushing falsehood —vile and wiilj ful misrepresentations, it has no parallel j within the range of observation. Bearing j j asit does upon its face the evident marks i of its paternity, showing beyond cavil chat j it was written by JOHN UPFOLD PETTIT himself, indignation is merged into j pity that poor human nature should be ; ! brought so low. We have long regarded ) him as politically and morally dishonest, • : but still we feel that our estimate has been | > high above the mark. The rotten rickety | I body racked and distorted as it is by dis-; loathsome diseases it ; has brought upon mm is yet coo good a tenement for the dastardlj’ soul within. — ! IWe have been heretofore constrained to 1 ! treat this man with the respect and amen- ■ [ity due to his station in life, and very , ! sparingly of his follies and short com-. I ings, but since we have read the above ar- , | tide from his pen, we are disposed to give ! the liar the liar’s due, and show up the ■ ! paltry knave in his true colors.—for the ! i present we shall forbear all further ex-. ■ ! pression of our feelings towards this scur-! jvy falsifier, This foulest whelp of sin ■ ' whose legs are faint with haste to propa-! gate the lies his soul has framed—- " Who wears a mask that Gorgon would disown, I ■ i A check of parchment, and an eye of stone.” We will content ourselves with giving! a plain statement of the facts so well known 1 here that the most unscrupulous of Pettit’s followers, if he does not admit them at once, will at least pale and tremblo when he denies them. i As soon as Coffroth was nominated he had a conference with Pettit in reference to canvassing the district. They agreed that after the first of September they would go together. Mr. Pettit afterwards agreed to meet Coffroth at Bluffton, where the latter was attending Court, about the last of August, to complete their arrangements for the canvass. This lie failed to do. Coffroth afterwards visited him at Wabash three different times for that purpose, but could effect no arrangement with him that had any show of fairness about it. Coffroth then made out a list of appointments furnished Pettit with a copy of ) them, and invited the latter to accompany him. The first appointment was at Rot»nor.L« on the 7th inst., at one o’clock.— There they met, and it was arranged that ! Pettit should speak first. This he afterwards backed off from, and when Coffroth held him to his agreement lie would ! not commence until after two o’clock, knowing that the train of ears would pass for Huntington before the discussion could I close and that a large number of Coffroth’s • friends would have to leave, or wait until • the next day. When Coffroth closed his s remarks it was within twenty minutes of , car time. The Roanoake station was over -a mile distant, Coffroth stated his reasons t for leaving, and yet Pettit would intimate that they all fled in terror to avoid being f overwhelmed by his eloquence. The sto- - ry that the Democrats cut the spindle of j I his buggy, is a sheer fabrication. It can - be proven that he was within 4 miles of e Ossian on the day of their appointment there. He traveled eight miles hack to 1 Roanoake rather than go on four miles to oj Ossian. He then slunk and skulked - around the suburbs of Huntington county - speaking at obscure points and scattering - handbills broadcast over the county invitt ing Mr. Coffroth to meet him, when he knew the latter was in a distant County

| filling his appointments. Then he punish ■ ed a list of appointments following in the • wake of Coffroth some three or four days, i i Coffroth’s friends, seeing the trick, dis- t : patched a messenger after him. He re-' turned and met Pettit at Warren on the f 14th and followed him to Bluffton on the ■lsth. Coffroth had appointments for t Hartford and Marion on Friday and Sat-; > urday. He proposed to Pettit at W anen i that if the latter would meet him at these t two points, he (Coffrclh,) would let 1 make all the appointments himself, ana t he would meet him at every point. Pet- s tit refused to accept this proposal, and up i to the latest accounts, would make no ar- j i jangemant to meet him. ! ' Here is a plain unvarnished history ol I the matter. Pettit has striven from the be- i < ginning, to shun Coffroth. He knows i that the song of ‘Bleeding Kansas has < become stale with the people, and he i has nothing else toeing. He feels that < Coffroth is physically and mentally his < superior, and he b striving to dodge him s at all points whilst he and hisfnends are t bruiting it abroad that Ucffroth is atraid to meet him. He has measured arms t with him and feels his own inferiority.— < He sees in the countenances of the audi- i ence that‘Othello’s occupation is gone.’ t With Cofforth’s friends all is life, hope | and enthusiasm; whilst the followers of i Pettit are sneaking into remote corners, < whispering out imprecations on every- i thing in general, and Coffroth in particu-, < lar. I s The supple tool who edits the Tribune , 1 we will pass unnoticed. He is but the 1 lick-spittle of Pettit, and the instrument I to do the dirtiest of his woik. When he ) I published the above article, he may have ■ been ignorant of the extent of its falsity, 1 but it would have been all the same if he < had known it, for the jjirtier the work i with the more avidity he pitches into it, I and the bigger the lie the louder he brawls ' i it forth The Indiana Herald, whose i mendacity has always been considered equal to any emergency, has been dumb : as an ass’s colt upon this subject. The po- i ny had to seek a distant organ for the i propagation of such an unblushing false- : hood, well knowing that it would tall still- < born here.— Huntington Democrat. < — That Brokt n Buggy. After Messrs. Coffroth and Pettit spoke at Roanoake. the latter started for Ossi- ! an, where they had agreed to speak toigether. When about four miles from j Ossian, Mr. Pettit’s buggy broke down. He charged the Democrats of Roanoake, first with having sawed the axle-tree, and afterwards with having cut it with a chis'el Now, we have the authority of the driver, who went with the buggy, that , ihe ran against a stump about five miles from Wabash, and cracked the axle-tree in such a manner that he was afraid it would not hold until he got to Roanoake. Others examined the buggy while there, ; and noticed the fracture, Aow, tor sakeol argument, we will say that there was some scoundrel mean and low-lived enough to perpetrate such an outrange —could not Mr Pettit, it he is so anxious to meet Mr. Coffroth as he pre tends, have mounted his horse and rode | four miles to Ossian, instead of taking the back track, and riding eight miles. He I could have had his buggy repaired in ! Zanesvflle, near which tiie accident occurred. The commonly received opinion in and about Roanoake is, that the buggy was cut, or sawed, after the accident.— By whom, let Pettit answer - — Huntington Democrat. A Long Concealed Murder Revealed. A dog recently brought a skull to his master, in the woods near Detroit, Mich, and on investigation the bodv of a rail- , road conductor, named John Hickey, formet ly of Georgia, was discovered. He must have been killed nearly a year ago. An Irishman named Kennedy, is suspected of the murder, but he has escaped.— The Detroit Free Press says: "We have here a case which does not | often occur. A man is murdered, robbed i and left in the woods, in the midst of a ; swamp. The murder remains a secret! j for nearly a year and is finally revealed by a dog which brings the skull of the mur-1 dered man to bis master, having gnawed it for his supper. The letters found reveal the name of the murdered man and the murderer, after the silence of months had rested upon the terrible deed. "The murderer is tracked from one extremity of the Union to the other, three times escapes as if by the interposition of a supernatural aid, and still remains at liberty. The proofs that can be brought against him are overwhelming, and would result in bis conviction if he could be found. The facts until now have been confined to those first cognizant of them, : but so long a time having elapsed, the propriety of making them public is no longer doubtful. The murderer is thought to be somewhere in the North, probably in Illinois or some other Western State.” ■■ a- -| A Bull —Fellow citizens,’ said a can- . didate lately addressing his constituents, , < ‘there are three topics which now aget- , ate the public mind in this great State, ) viz: Slavery, Retrenchment and the I Ohio Penitentiary. I shall pass over the t two first briefly, as my sentiments are f already well known and come at unce to t the Ohio Penitentiary, where 1 shall , dwell for some time.’ The gentleman’s j auditory reminded him that as that instij tution was already crowded lie bad bets ter leave any vacant appartment there y might be in that institution for his oppo- ’! nent.

Minnesota, Oregon and Kansas. The beautiful State of Minnesota, with its population of two hundred thousand, after many long years of territorial probation, determined in 1857 to apply for admission into the American Union,'and become a member of the confederation upon equal terms with the orginal States. She formed a constitution in pursuance of an enabling act of Congress, and submitted it for ratification to the direct vote of the people. It excluded slavery from the State. It was ratified by forty thousand majority In fact, the voteforit was nearly unamious. The application was sent to Congress, and it was supposed would be received with peculiar favor by the Republican party which makes such exalted pretentions of its devotion to the interest of freedom and of its desire to increase the number of free States. It was confidently believed that whatever course was pursued by the South the Republicans of the North would press its admission with the niost intense zeal and enthusiasm! But, instead of being greeted with friendly warmth by the Republicans the new free State received more than coldness at their hands. Their leading men were soon arrayed in bitter opposition to the admission. While the Republicans were thus turning their backs upon Illis fiee Blate and endeavoring to keep her out of the Union what was the attitude of that Democratic organization, stigmatized as being proslavery by its opponents? Where was it found at the crisis? Every Democrat from the slave States, with a magnanimity and devotion to their principle that reflects upon them infinate honor, did likewise, with hardly a single exception.— Under’the leadership of Southern Democrats the bill allowing Minnesota to come into the Union was put easily through both branches of Congress. Finding that the free State would be admitted, although it should not receive a solitary Republican vote, and they would not be supported by the Southern members, a considerable portion of the Republicans on the final passage of the bill voted for it, although for several days they had done their best to kill it. Twenty-five or more than one quarter of their whole number were resolute to the last and voted against it. After it was in the Union the Republicans, in both the Senate and House, voted against allowing its Representatives to take their seats in Congress, upon some frivilous pretensions which they had trumped up to sustain this disfranchisement of a free State. The application of the free State of Oregon, from the distant shores of ihe Pacific, to be admitted into the Confederacy, was treated by the Republicans with the same hostility they had shown to Minnesota. Hale, Trumbull, Fessenden and others, fought it vigorously. The Democrats from the North, nnd nearly all from the South, voted affirmative, and the admission bill went through the Senate. Next winter it will go through the House, for there are not enough Republicans in that body to defeat it. While thus stranuously endeavoring to keep two new free States out of the Union, the ‘party of freedom,’ with beautiful consistency, unnanimously voted to admit Kansas as a slave State, upon certain conditions. Their actions showed that they would rather Lava Kansas come in as a slave State than have Minnesota and Oregon admitted as free Srates. As fur the Democratic party, it but adhered to its principles in favor ing the admission of Oregon and Minnesota. By its doctrines it is pledged to carry out the wishes of the people of every new State, and admit them into the Union with fredom or negro slavery, just as they desire. Under this rule the Democrats in Congress have favored the application of Minnesota and Oregon, and they will do the same by Kansas and all other political communities that are to be organized into States. There is not a free State in the Union that was not admitted by the Democratic party and by a Democratic Congress. — No trouble or difficulty is to be anticipated from that organization. Its whole hktorv proves that it can be taken for grantd that jt will vote affirmative on that issue. But can the Republicans be trusted.— While they not, in the next Congress, vote against the admission of Kansas, as they did in tho last against Minnesota and Oregon? While theoretically, they are ; great friends of free States, practically they have been very unreliable. Ihe record of the Southern Democrats is better for the interests of freedom than theirs. With the single and remarkable exception of California, the opposition to the admission of new States has never come from the South. It has invariably beer, at the North and confined to the opponents of tne Democracy.— Cin. Eng. The Cable Working Again!
