.tH thai. HORACE GREELKT. He travels extensively, speaks frequently in pi.bii,-, and micfcles freely with the political leaders in every place he visits. We arc therefore glad to have his assurance tiiat the popular interest in the campaign is deep and universal. In an article in the independent, Mr. GREELF.T says that v.t never before had so many clubs organiced, with so many working member?, on the 1st of September, as we have in 1868.
There are local exceptions but, if the election were but two weeks off, we should poll, he believes, a larger Repubh can vote in New York, and in every
State, than we have yet done. But, good as this news is, it only justifies hope, without excusing indolence. While the Republican party is doing well the Democrats are also working vigor
ously on their part. It is with no sleepy,
indifferent foe that we have to contend, though,at the same time, it must be confessed that the injudicious enthasiasm of the vast rebel wing of the Democratic party has injured, rather than benefitted, their cause, jloney will be used in pro fusion by our adversaries and as a de feat this fall would be the death knell of their hopes, they .will be utterly unscrupulous as to the means they employ.
ONE of the shallowest of all tbfl political ti icks ever employed by a "denounced and repudiated'' demagogue is the pretense of YOORHKKS that ho was the iriend of the soldiers during the war and that he proved his friendship by moving for an
increase of tho soldiers' pay. Lot us look at this claim for a moment, and a momentary glance will suffice to puncture the bubble and show the hypoc
risy of its author. YOOIUIKES says: "1 saw the Governmoiit presses grinding out greenbacks bv the cord, like so much fodder I saw the value of greenbacks rapidly declining, and I introduced a resolution calling on tho Committee on Military Affairs to bring forward a bill providing that the soldiers should bo paid an amount in greenbacks equivalent to the gold value ,!' their monthly pay.''
Ye?, VOORIIKKK "saw the value of greenbacks rapidly declining" and did quite as much as any man in the United States to promote that decline lie never lost an opportunity to stab the credit of
the Government at home and abroad* He went up and down among the peo
ple laboring incessantly to destroy public faith in the ability of the United Rtatts to crush the rebellion.
He asserted, on many occasions, that eight millions of brave Caucasians could
not be conquered/' He did all that man, assisted by great talent and diabolical
hatred of his country, could do to prevent the people from taking up loans, knowing that if he and his rebel allios could utterly destrov the credit of the United States, they could insure the speedy triumph of
the "Confederacy." Having done all this and much mora to exhaust the Treasury, having exerted everr pov,o:' ol mind and body lo drag down the credit of the government, he thought he saw a cliauce tor a stroke ot policy in introducing the resolution looking to the payment of soldiers on a sliding scale, varjing according to the quotations of greenbacks in the money market. The soldiers understood the object of VOORHKES at the time, and they appreciate it now. They knew then that while YGORNLES hated them, he hated the government more, and they despise his present professions of love, liis whining and slobbering. as only brave, true men can despise the contemptible arts of a hypocritical, political demagague.

laBTTEB FROM NEWPORT.
Cortws.ondence Daily Express.] SNEWPORT, IND., Sept. 21, 1868. Last Friday was a gala day for Parke and Vermillion counties, a joint Mass Meeting of tho two counties having been held that day at Montezuma. arrived oarly in the morning and witnessed tho proceedings of the day.
Helt township, from this county, pour
ed its entire self into Montezuma, by 11 o'clock A. M. Her delegation was preceded by 160 poreons on horseback. This cavalcade was followed by a train of carriages, buggies, wagons, &c., which, by its great lungth, wearied these who looked on, and caused them to turn to something less monotonous.
An immense delegation caine Irom the country about Nume, another from Kockville, another from Annapolis, another from Clinton, and another from this
place. Montezuma was never before so full of people. They swarmed in the streete and on every vacant lot, and when th
old Fair Ground was thrown opon, the crowd thronged into it in such numbers that fillwd the Republicans of Montezu ma with utmost enthusiasm.
Tho Rockville| Brass Band, and tie Montezuma Silver Band, enlivened the
occasion with the music. The exercises opened promptly at 1 clock r. M., with a speech by Colonel Mc
Lean of your city. He occupied the at tention of the audience about an hour and forty minutes, during which time he dis sected the Democratic platform merci
lessly, though truthfully and handsomely Reconstruction was discussed by him in the fewest words in which I ever heard well iiscussed. Still with ail his terse ness he was clear, strong, and pointed.
He was followed by .Tohn Hanna, of Greencastle, in a speech replete with thought and stunning power. His speech was a political cannonade, breaking,
battering down and destrojing the forti fication3 of Democracy. Col. McLean having presented the mat ter of reconstruction well, Mr. Hanna was wisoly content to "let well enough alone' and say nothing on that subject.
He left no atone unturned, however, in
reviewing the history of the Democratic party during and since the war, and in discussing the question of finance?, bonds
banks. &c. He came in the place of Delana E. Wil
liamson, and the audience were well satisfied with the substitute At night B. E. Rhoads, of this place spoke to a large audience in the Methodist Church, discussing the matters of re construction, taxation of bonds, redemption of bonds in currency, and "equal taxation in their legal and practical bear
ing. The day was splendid, and th# "'grand council" of Parke and Vermillion a great
success. The demonstrations of Friday were renewed the next day (Saturday at Perrysville, in this county. The day, by reaeon of continuous rains, was inauspicious
nevertheless there was a good audience composed of legal voters mostly from the north part of tbis county and from Foun
tain. A more enthusiastic meeting was never held. The first speaker was Jas. Johnson, E=q., of Rockville. By previous arrange
ment, he discussed the question of reconstruction, leaving that of finance for John
Hanna. The right of Congress to take tho first steps in reconstruction and to prescribe
tho terras, conditions and limitations thereof was fully and fairly presented.— The audience felt the force of tho argument and signified the same by a round
of applause. .Mr. Johnson closed, leaving bis audi
ence in fine spirits. John Hanna followed, discussing the financial and tax question in one of the most searching speeches it lias been my
fortune to hear. Thrt 4th reiolution of the Democratic platform was thoroughly dissected, audits impracticability, deceitfulness and folly justly exposed. It was fraud glossed over
with plausibility and seeming equity, but in truth was a tissue of fallacies and in
consistencies. Taxation of bonds, payment of tbe public debt, and National Banks received a proper share of attention, and were discussed with a force and truthfulness that produced conviction. By the time Hanna
had got fully into his argument, the audi once was wild with enthusiasm, and tha1 enthusiasm increased until he closed when it culminated in long-continued, vo ciferous applause.
This meeting was a grand success. This county is in a blaze and is certain to give 500 majority for Baker and Cumback.
The county is being thoroughly canvassed and no stone will be left unturned that in any wise supports the Democratic party. Last Wednesday evening B. E.
Rhoads addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at Bono. On Tuesday evening he spoke at Clinton, ar.d on Wednesday evening he held a joint discussion witn Senator Hunter of Paris, Illinois, at Jones.
Messrs. Egleston and Cheadle our fellow townsmen have been pouring solid shot into the enemy for two weeks past, in various parts of the county.
The Democratic party, in the insignificant language of Burton, has been "cawed.. dissected and philosophically cut up.''
Look for a fine "ground swell in October. More hereafter.

filfflRAL ALVIN HOTEY ON THE FBKSIDINTHIj CONTEST.. :4L',
A Stirring Appeal in Behalf of Grant.
LIMA, PERU. AUGUST 22, IS6S.
To the Hem. O. P. Morion, Senator of the ii S S a M\ DEAB FRIEND-Many y&n hare passed since we first became acquainted, and, although it has been our fortune to differ widely from each other at timos on the questions of the hour, yet I havo never had cause to doubt either the sincerity of your motives or of your actions. You will pardon me for saying that I bavo seen j'ou triod too severely to ever doubt the purity of your heart, and that your judgomont has always co mrnanded my highest respect.
I cannot be quiet in the coming contest for tho Presidency, and would, if possible, throw my mito into tho scale, whero the interest of the country and justice demand.
I will not analyze the present political questions of our country, but frankly confess that I do not understand the logic pf reconstruction bills, r.egro suffrage, aid the late impeachment of President Joboson. Possibly had I beon upon the fitld I might either fully approve.or condotan them, but approving or condemning.I cannot give my alleg'anco to tho "butUJ'. nuts" ol the North. Our dead ttmt tbqy instigated to be murdered, are scattered on tbe fields, plains and mountains of ti South, and I cannot, and will not tr their leaders again.
Nor can I vote with the Seymouijs, Wado Hamptons, Alexander Steveap, Valandighams, Bowles, Miligans, Pendulous and Company, whose policy wonjd have humbled this pride of every solder that fought for the integrity of the Government, and would have left our coshtry in dismembered fragments.
I have just heard by the last mailpt the Democratic nominations, and I hgye read the platforms and proceedingstf both conventions with care, and must frankly say that I cannot, with my wh)1e heart, give my undivided sanction to eitli er. When a party announces ndjle principles, it may be questioned whetier they have the force or ability to cafry them into effect, but when they advocate the wrong for demagogical purposes, that party may be justly fearec pn its assumption of power.
Of the two plattormi the Republican is far less objectionable to me than :hat of the Democracy. But, the day has long since gone by when platforms exercised much influence on the minds of the intelligent thinking masses of the Stites. Since their inauguration in the cays of Jackson, there has not been one hat has been honestly carried cut. Theyare like that {.which an ancient philosoj-her said of the laws of Greece, "merecobvebs to catch small insects, whilst the horiots and big bugs break through then at pleasure". Would to God our pejplc could thoroughly understand this, and they would then know why the gqpat Chief Justice lately bent himself so plimtly to the passions of party.
The Democratic Convention began vith a falsehood and ended in the annouicement of principles which will leac to fraud and repudiation. Seymour saic he would not, and could not honorably accept the nomination, and yet he did. What is this? Do his friends now admit that he has dishonorably accepted, or has he, like Cwsar, descended to falsehood' to obtain the crown The l)emoc:atic platform breathes a tone antagonistic, to the men who served their country during the late rebellion. They could not a/oid puffing the chivalry of the South, though few, very few. of that August body had ever heard the whistle of a rebel bullet. They can not bear that the hunest debt contracted for the support of our armies duiing that struggle should be paid in the spirit in which it was contracted. No, greenbacks now below forty per cent.discount must pay our bondholders at home and abroad.
With tho decision of the Supreme Court made years ago, shielding government property from taxation, and with an act of Congress declaring that Government bonds shall not be taxed, still they urge the breach of the lav, and demand that National bonds, like other property, should bear the illegal burthen. Good God! has tho Democracy fallen so low!
I have not faith in the pktforms of either party I have seen them too often cruelly and faithlessly broken,and aj I have said, I come to the conclusion o? the Grecian philosopher, tha: they are made of cobwebs.
A mere glance at some of .lie resolutions of the so-called Democracy will convince many persons of their aisurdity.
Here are a few specimens "That our soldiers and sailors, who carried the flag of cur country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe, must ever be most gratofdly remembored, and all the guarantee^ given in their favor must be faithfulljy carried into execution. "Ever remembered!" Yei, here are some of tha memories in Indima.

Favors an armistice and National Convention of fell theSiates. I)e"nounces the clergy.'
Denounces the Provost Marshal system all an institution unknown to the Const itution, subversive of State rights, dangerous to liberty, obnoxious to lawful resistance, in conflict with civil jurisdiction, aud pregnant with demoralization to society. "That we say to tho administration that as the Lord roigns in Heaven, it can r.ot go on with its Provost Marshals and police officials, arresting fr6e white men for what they conceive to bo their duty within tho plain provisions of the Constitution, and maintain peace in tho loyal States. Blood will flow. They can not and shall not forge fetters for our limbs without a strugglo for the mastery"— [Quoted almost verbatim from Hon. Dan. Voorhees' speech on the conscript bill, February 23, 1863
Allen county, August 13, State Kights, Radical: "That, in viow of those facts, we declare tho proposed draft for five hundred thousand men the most damnable of all other outrageo that have been perpatred upon tho people by the present Administration and we further declare that the honor, dignity and safety of the people demand that against ruin and enslavement they mu3i afford to themselves that protection which usurpation and tyranny deny them."
Enough of this treason, leaving out the bkod of innocent officers shedby'its abettors in Indiana.
A most gallant and determined foe." A small mistake. The Southern wing was gallant, but the Northern wing was base. This ought not to have been forgotten. The "despotism of the sword," is also used with quite a flourish.
This, too, may he pardonable in their estimation, as the Northern butternuts keenly felt every blow that their brethren in the South more heroically received. Very despotic! "That noble Tolunteer army that carried our flag to victory." Ah! once they were Lincoln's hirelings," and left to the cold mercy of other friends. When struggling hand to hand, and breast to breast, with the foe, the same patriotic butternut heroes and hero worshippers opposed the draft, and said not another man nor another dollar. They were, then, a terrible phalanx, firing 011 that noble volunteer army" in the rear.
But the Democratic platform says that, in case they fail to carry the elections next fall, "wo will meet as a subject and conquered people amid the ruin3 of liberty and the scattered fragments of a Constitution." Bombast.
N raoro of that, Hal, an' ih. l-'.veit ma." The Convention that Alexander Stephens could advise, and Vallandi^ham, Hampton, Seymour, Pendleton & Co. control, need not talk of being conquered for tl e_/i:-5( time. They forgot the Vicksburg campaign, the march to tho sea, and the surrender at Richmond.
General Grant, in my opinion, has in ado a great sacrifice in permitting his name to be used in the Presidential canvass, but, in his manly nature, I know he never considers personal advantages when he thinks dut}' demands his services.
He is one of the Romans who has the courage to leap into the chasm if his country's interests are subserved. What is the Presidency for four years to the high position of commander rf the proud army of the United States for life As president, ho will be ieviled, misconstrued, and covered with the filth of party slime, whilst as commander ot tbe army he would have been the idol of all, and beyond the reach of. calumny and reproach. Contrast with this noble Genoral the wily, wiry, oily, soft-tongued, draftopposing, mob inciting, repudiating Seymour. and no loyal man in Indiana can hesitate one moment in giving his vote for Grant and Colfax over the Democratic nominees.
At least thirty thousand Indianians have, at various times, been placed under my command, and I can not for a mo ment entertain the thought that one of those noble men could so far forget the records of the past their long, dreary, hungry marches their bloody battles, and the fire of the "Butternuts" in the rear, as to ever cast one vote in favor of their Northern enemies. For myself, 1 would a thousand times prefer a man who fired bravely at me in the battle, to those who meanly and basely betrayed us in the North.
I have no fears for Governor Baker. A purer, better man never lived and though Senator Hendricks may have believed, during the rebellion, in a system of dividing our great Government into three parts, one of the Northwest, one of the South, and the third of the East and though he may have sincerely aoncurred in the resolutions adopted at the "Hen dricks festival!" above quoted yet, as we were once strong political friends, I will only say that I fully trust that the people of Indiana will not make him Governor, but compel him to remain in the United States Senate until the expiration of his term of office.
With the ardent hope that you may soon recover your usual health, and that our country may ever prosper, I am,
