CORRESPONDENCE.

The Cause In Martin. Dover Hill, Indiana. August 11, lbbb. Editors Journal: This is a joyous day for Union nieu in old Martin. At 8 o'clock this morning crowds of people commenced congregating around not the groceries but the hotels and offices, and the streets were thronged with horsemen, buggies, wagons, hacks and carriages coming in, flags Union flags flying, men, women, children, all classes, all ages, were represented, all coming to hear what might or could be said, if anything, for the Union party. At 10 A. m ., a convention was called at the court room for the nomination of a county ticket. Dr. Palmutcr, of Loogootee, was called to the Chair. A Secretary was appointed, and coon the business was progressing. All the townships were represented, and a few minutes sufficed to present to the people a UNION TICKET for Martin County, to wit : For Representative, Col. Lew. Brooks ; for Clerk of Circuit Court, Capt. Abner Brown ; for County Auditor, Zeno W. Coffin, Esq.; for Sheriff, Lieut. F. A. Cooke; for Becorder, Sergeant David Norcross; for Coroner, M. Shirey, Esq.; for County Commissioner,Lee Keck, Esq. all of whom have proved true to the Union in peace and in war. The nominations were made unanimous. The utmost harmony prevailed, and all bid fair for a general good time until, at the close of the Convention, it . was announced that, owing to an accident on the railroad, the principal speaker engaged for the occasion, HON. D. E. WILLIAMSON had failed to attend. Sad indeed were the feeling, and faces of the Union men, while the glances that were exchanged by Democrats, indicated the joy they felt at our discomfiture ; and some of them went so far as to show themselves prophets, (of the past,) by such remarks as " I told ye so." "I knowed it;" and "they enly 'nounced the name of 'Williamson' so as to git a crowd out to hear 'emspeek. " An enterprise that some of their leaders had attempted to place on foot had proved a failure that was to raise a " bigger " crowd, and by that means prevent the " damdabolitions " from holding their convention, and served only to " raise a fuss in their camp." But now their cup of enjoyment was full. But, actuated as they are, by motives higher than were trickery or ostentation, Union speakers can and da surmount difficulties that Democrats would pronounce impossibilities, and "Williamson" did come; and at half past one. A PUBLIC SPEECH, And such an one as the hills and ales of Martin seldom re-echo, was commenced in the grove. I will not attempt to giv the slightest outline of his speech, but will only say that Mr. Williamson, in his brilliant and beautiful style, made one of his happiest efforts. A number of the bravest of the Democrats was present. They acknowledge that our meeting was a complete success, but say we will fail in October I Well, we well remember when they used to tell us we could never lick the Rebels. I must say, in conclusion, in regard to our ticket, that a better and more suitable list of names were never offered before the people. I see, in the Democratic papers, articles written over classical and very significant names; but as I was christened by a very respectable minister of the Democratic persuasion, I prefer to subscribe myself Sir, ? I Yours truly, Charley McCarty. Democratic Family Matters. Center or Warrick Co., Ind.,1 August 17th, 1866. J Editors Journal: Recently I have noticed two or three items in the Journal having direct reference to things that have transpired in this County, from which I have taken the liberty to infer that the "state of Warrick" is of some little consequence abroad. It appears to me, however, that inasmuchas some exceedingly minute matters constituted the animus of these paragraphs, they were not especially designed to reflect a superfluity of credit upon our fair fame.Being hereditarily something of a "States Eights cuss," this inference induced me to deliver a plain, untarnished tale in regard to the condition of our community. The morality of Newburgh, and it

THE EVA

is only a fair representative of the country, I think is satisfactorily established by the " Battle" and " Snaix in his Boots" evidently the labored literary efforts of a Local. The healthy Christian condition of the same place is evidenced by the fact that on last Sunday morning, after an excellent Centenary sermon delivered by Dr. Gillett, the pious congregation contributed about one dozen genuine dollars for the promotion of the cause of Education, Christianity, &c. These minor matters, in which few people now-a-days take an interest, having been thus expeditiously disposed of, I come to the more important consideration of the political. In the first place, firstly, William Williams, Democratic candidate for Sheriff, whose profoundly logical disquisition on the Freedman's Bureau, at a Centenary meeting, was given in substance, demands peculiar and sp3cific attention. . Mr. Williams, who, on account of personal sympathy for his youthful unaccountability I must insist on call ing Billy, is a verdant type of humanity about five feet ten inches long, doubtful complexion, and superb hair. His personal beauty is materially impaired by the affected condition of his wardrobe, which he imagines well calculated to arouse the sympathy of the people in his behalf. His only attempts at literary distinction are substantially thusly: Billy was a member of the 1st Indiana Cavalry, and his association with the " true and tried " caused him to entirely abandon his hereditary predilections forthe Democratic party. " Judge " Mooret of the Boonville Enquirer, was also a member of the same regiment, having originally volunteered in the capacity of nurse; but in a very short time, ascertaining that campaigning against rebels was not particularly congenial to his peaceful and forgiving nature, ho managed, with little trouble inasmuch as he was a useless regimental appendage, to get a discharge. He came home, and immediately began a " newspaper " warfare against the Administraon, and the further prosecution of the war on the part of the Federal Government. His oft repeated boasts of his own " military career" created great indignation in the regiment, where he was known, and accordingly some reckless personage penned an article to which Billy affixed his mark in which the names of Moore, Pyeatt, Boner and others appeared conspicuously but not complimentary. At the publication of this document the " most gracious Judge," naturally enough, became highly offended, and he opened his mouth and spake with a loud voice, saying, "Woe unto thee, William, thou son of Cal ! Out of thy bowels proceedeth corruption, and from thy tongue goeth forth blasphemy. Thou hast spoken against the anointed of the most high Democracy. Thou saidst that I defiled the garments of Uncle Sam. Now, therefore, will I spew thee out of my mouth, and thou shalt be an abomination in the land." For sometime after Billy came home he was like the Irishman's flea. His status was doubtful. Democrats gazed at him gravely. They cussed and discussed shim. No one knew where Billy was. But, alas, the sow return -eth uhto her wallow. Billy, cold, hungry, thirsty and naked was received into the fond embrace of Democracy. The fatted calf was slain and a rich feast prepared, for the lost was found,, and all Copperheaddom shouted aloud for joy. But there were some in the crowd who rejoiced not, neither were they glad. The Apostle Moore said, 11 Why killeth ye the fatted calf, and wherefore do ye rejoice? Is not this he whom I spewed out of my mouth, and is he not an abomination in the land? " And the Disciple Pyeatt said, "Oye wicked and perverse generation ! know ye not that this is he who calleth me a traitor and a rebel? and hath he yet repented of his iniquity? " And Boner, ;the Pharisee, cried with a mighty voice, " Hath he not spoken against my name, and hath he not blasphemed, saying, Behold, Boner, the nigger-thief ! " Now, when William heard of the anger of the people, and how that they took council togther, he was sore afraid. And he called to him a scribe (for William was not learned in wisdom); and when the scrihe had sat himself down, William said unto him : " Behold ! I command thee to write that which I speak unto thee. "In the days of Abraham's reign,

while I was yet a child, I went forth to battle, not knowing whither, neither knowing, against whom I fought. And lo, and behala! after I had pursued the enemy, even to the going down of the sun, and while I was yet weary from the march, some evilminded person brought me a paper, whereon something was written, but I knew not what. " A n.d he spake to me thus while I was yet puny: 'Behold! William, beautiful, innocent image of thy sire, stretch forth thy hand, and affix thy signature unto this document, before thou diest and art gathered unto thy fathers.' N "And lo! at this moment a deadly pain seized my bowels, and they were almost consumed within me, and I know not what I did. Now, therefore, I, William, the masculine offspring of Cal., do hereby pronounce an everlas ing curse against those who sought to destroy me in my tribulation; and I swear, in my wrath, that Judge Moore, the anointed of my brethren, is a bully boy with a glass eye." And when the scribe had finished this writing, and all the people had read it, they rejoiced together, saying "Billy is a good egg; let us hug him for his mother, for he is simple." Capt. Bullitt, of the 12th Kentucky cavalry, who is the competitor of this Democratic suckling for the office of Sheriff, is a gentleman of high respectability, both as a soldier and a citizen. He has been promised the support of a good many Democrats who have the honesty to acknowledge that Williams is not qualified in any particular for any office within the gift of the people. At all events, I think there is no doubt that we will double our majority last Fall. Our county has always, until within the last year, been almost exclusively1 under the c jntrol of Democracy. One defaulter has succeeded another until the people have grown tired of being robbed by these ignorant, dishonest, ambitious politicians.
