PERRY DAVIS t SON, Providence, Rhode Island Dear Sirs : During a residence of some ten years as a missionary In 8iam and China, I found your Vegetable Pain-Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge the Cholera. In administering the medicine, I found it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain-Killer In a gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minute6,Tegfn to give a tablespoonlul of the same mixture every minnte until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities. Bathe the bowels and stomach with the Pain-Killer, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. Of those who had the Cholera and took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered. Truly yours, R. TELFORD. If attacked with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or Cramp Colic, do not delay the use of the Pain-Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers. Price 25 cents, 50 cents, and SI per bottle. aug8 dim.

CORRESPONDENCE. Posey Union Convention. New Harmony, Sept. 3, 1866. Editors Journal:

This day was the occasion of the Posey County Union Convention, held here, ever to be remembered i by the unconditional Union men of Posey County. In consequencejof the heavy rain on last night, and the lowering appearance ot the weather in the forenoon, it was not anticipated .that many, outside of those who necessarily were obliged to be in attendance. would be present; but how different the result. They came singly, by squads, on foot, hoTse and by every conceivable vehicle. Strains of instrumental music and enthusiastic shouts rent the air, by the concourre of people agitating the usual quietness of our village. Many horses, carriages and wagons were adorned with the flag Of our country. It reminded many of those glorious days of the past during the life time of the illustrious Harrison, Lincoln and others; when the outpourings of the multitude, and the wild enthusiasm, knew no bounds. The people are fully awake and vigilant. "They sleepeth not," and are ardently aroused as to the great responsibility in the present crisis, not to prove recreant in the sacted trust to sustain the Government. Set it down as a fixed fact that Posey County, the former proud citadel of Democracy, will yield, in the coming October election, to the prowess of the Union party. We do not know as to the mathematical exactness of computing numbers, but, likewise, having soldiers with us familiar with multitudes, the number in attendance was no less than 2,500, and by many contended over 3,000. Suffice it to say, that the large and spacious Union Hall, a building used for public purposes, was found too small even for the preliminary business of the Convention; hence, arrangements were made in the, roomy grove of the Working Mens' Institute, where we assembled to hear a speech, delivered b the Hon. A. C. Donald, of Princeton, who filled an appointment of Governor Baker, who, from unavoidable circumstances, could not be in attendance. As to the effort on the part of the Hon. A: C. Donald, too much in praise could not be said. He held the audience as if spell-bound, by his masterly, logical and eloquent discourse. It is justly considered an effort seldom equaled in the First district of Indiana, and the speaker has already established a reputation not to be forgotten in the future. No doubt many converts were made to the good faith. After the speech the Convention was organized. Col. John A. Mann was chosen as President, and a host of Vice Presidents. The nominees chosen were as follows: For Representative George Wolflin. ForlSheriff John W. Duckworth. For Audito) Thomas Truscutt. For Treasurer Thomas Stephens. For Commissioner Richard Harris. For Surveyor Aaron Baker. AH the foregoing are towers of strength in themselves, and were nominated on the first ballot. After the nominations, many resolutions were passed, a copy of which will be presented to your Journal. The crowd then dispersed to return to their homes, buoyant, 'joyful and hopeful for the future, resting at ease as to any attempt being successful to overthrow the Republican institutions of our country. Respectfully yours, John Preaus, Secretary. Rockport, Ind., Sept. 5, 1866. Editors Journal : The Latter-Day Democracy had an other grand rally here to-day to hear Judge Niblack expound the Democratic gospel to the unterrified. He had a good audience, the court-house being nearly full, and about two-thirds Republicans. The Judge commenced by saying that he had intended to divide time with his competitor, Judge DeBruler, but regretted to hear that he was sick and unable to leave his room. He then discussed the Civil Rights Bill, frankly admitting that it did not confer suffrage on the negro in its present shape, but believed it was the intention of its advocates to do so, and thus, insinuating what he dare not say in plain words, was indignant at the idea of elevating the negro up to the Democratic standard. The Freedmen's Bureau was a terrible affair, giving it the same character and reputation, and making the same stereotyped statements and misrepresentations which have been so often replied to and refuted. He claimed to

be a loyal man, and desired none but loyal men to participate in the Government, and almost in the same breath denounced Congress for refusing to admit rebel representatives from the seceded States. His explanation of his conduct and votes in the Legislature of 1863 was very unsatisfactory, and left the impression on every candid mind that he was afraid to either acknowledge or deny the. record. I took full notes of his speech, but do not think it necessary to make', an extended report. He spoke two hours and twenty minutes, the audience listening patiently to the end, but exhibiting no enthusiasm. At the close of his speech Thomas T. DeBruler, (brother to the Judge,) was loudly called for and took the stand to

reply, and delivered one of the most logical, as well as most eloquent speeches we have listened to during the present canvass. He commenced by as king why it was these rebel States were not repre sented in Congress? and who kept them out They went out volun tarily, and without cause they attempted to destroy the Government and overthrow the Constitution which they had sworn to support, and en-' deavored to establish an independent sovereignty of their own, thereby putting themselves outside of all practical and fraternal relations to the Government, and giving those who remained loyal a fair pretext to amend the Constitution in such a way as to prevent any subsequent act of secession; and that we not only had the right, but that it was our duty, to prescribe conditions which would be a guarantee of their future good behavior; referred to the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island to prove that Congress had a right to say what was a republican form of government. As Mr. Niblack had admitted that the Civil Rights Bill did not confer the right of suffrage on negroes he did not diBcuss the sub ject at length, but showed in a clear and comprehensive manner the dif ference between civil and political rights as laid down by Judges Kent, Taney, and others, and that Congress had no power to say, and never presumed to say, what shojpld be the qualifications of voters for local or State officers. The Constitutional Amendment was discussed with a power and clearness seldom equaled, but I have neither time nor space to recapitulate hiB arguments. It is enough to say that they furnished a complete refutation of the sophisms of Judge Niblack, as Well as other Democratic speakers that I have had the pleasure of hearing. Mr. DeBruler received the curses of Judge Niblack and his political associates during the war, showing that the leaders of the party were covered all over with the mantle of treason, proving it up by the record, which they could not deny. The speaker was in one of his happiest moods, and poured shot and shell into the Cop perhead camp with such precision and effect that they were forced to beat a retreat. The Judge, himself, and many of his friends, unable to stand the fire, left the house. The Judge, however, pleaded that he had an ap pointment to speak at Grandview at candle-light, but as he did not leave town until some time after Mr. DeBruler had concluded his speech, the inference was plain and palpable. Mr. DeBruler was frequently greet ed during his speech with enthusias tic rounds of applause, which made the walls of the Court House ring again. The Democracy niade but one or two feeble attempts a cheer during the whole course of Mr. Niblack's speech, although he wound up by tell-J ing nis long story about Thad. Stephens, his bushel of coal creating a new hell, &c. The only inference I could draw from it was the fad; that Mr. Stephens had been giving Niblack and his friends a foretaste of what they might expect in the next world, and that it hurt. Rockport.
