FcxrviLi-K, Ina., Jan. ITT, 1 HCITOrs Joui uai : The KepullioaBrt 'of old Warrick nwLia ila.so Convection at this place, last Saturday;-? the 25th inst., for the purpose of appointing and instructing delegates ,to the State Convention, and transacting other necessary and important business pertaining to the party in this county and the country at large.., ,.,.. -; There has been, for apparent though humiliating reasons, a general stagnation of political interest in this county, for a long time, especially prevalent" int the Republican ranks, yet a very "respectable number of Republicans mustered sufficient fortitude to come out on this important occasion, and -, show their hands " in a decidedly encouraging manner. The Convention was called to'order t 2 o'clock P. and organized by h appointment of Captain T. J. Htnt-us as Permanent Chairman, and Ifcssrs. J. V. Admire and J. V. Moore as Secretaries. The following named gentlemen, one from each township in the county, were selected by a committee appointed by the Chairman, as delegates to attend the State Convention; Dr. Parke, Wm. G. Greer, Hon. Abraham Chambers, Armer Reed, Dr. William Slaughter, Dr. White. Jas. H. Aust, Captain John T. White, Orrin Caswell, and Captain T. J. Downs A'committee wa3 appointed to draft resolutions, the meeting being addressed in the meantime briefly by Messrs. E. A. Baker, Jas. II. Masters, A. Reid, and J. V. Admire. The following resolutions were reported and adopted without dissent: Resolved, That we are in favor of doing exact and impartial justice to the bondholders and the people, according to the original obligations and stipulations of the Government; that we favor the lawful redemption of the Government debt in' greenbacks; that we are inflexibly opposed to a contraction of the currency which comes in conflict with the commercial and business interests of the country; that we favor the taxation of all Government securities that are not especially exempted by law; iu short, that we are in favor of a strict and faithful discharge of all Government obligations pertaining to the financial, as well as all of its' other departments. Resolved, That we most cordially endorse the executive administration of Gov. Conrad Baker, are in favor of his nomination as the Republican candidate for next Governor of the State of Indiana, and ' herebya pledge ourselves to give him our cheerful and energetic support. Resolved, That we will cheerfully abide by the action of theRepublii.au State Convention, to be held on the 20th of February, 1868. Resolved, That we most herti!y endorse the action of Congress in the re-instatement of Hon. Edwin 31. Stan too as Secretary of War. ' Resolved, That we are in favor of the earliest practicable reconstruction of the Union, upon the basis of the Constitution and laws of the United States. Resolved, That we have implicit confidence in the patriotism, ability and statesmanship of Genera! U. S. Grant, and that we prefer his nomination by the National Republican Convention, as our candidate for the office of President of the United States. ' Resolved, That in the Warrick Herald, the Republican party of this County has an able and fearless exponent of its principles, and that we heartily recommend it to the party as the best and most convenient medium for circulating the great truths necessary for fhe success of the Republican doctrine, and that we will do all in our power to extend its circulation. The Executive Committee of the County was reconstructed, with the following result: Anderson Township, Geo. N. Cornell; Boone, W. L. Barker; .Campbell, Dr. Parke; Greer, W. J. Greer; Hart Capt. Thompson; Lane, Dr. White; Owen, J. H. Mmpson; Ohio, Dr. W. W. Slaughter; Pigeon, Fred. WeibkiDg; Skelton, Gorman Taylor. Dr. W. L. Barker, of Boonville, was appointed Chairman of this committee. These proceadings were ordered to be published ia the Warrick Herald, Boonville Enquirer, and Evansville Journal. The Republicans present at this Convention manifested unusual interest a quiet sort of determinate which gave evidence not only of a consciousness of the righteousness of their cause, but also a confidence iu its success. Our party in this county, as well as iu maDy others, has not been judiciously uiaaaged. Its organization lias been imperfect, and those who have been looked upon as its leaders have been criminally negligent in a great many respects. There is an imperative demand for its reconstruction, rLich, it is to be hoped, will be thoroughly effected during the campaign just opening. Ihere are more Republican voters in this county than Democratic voters, but. owing to imperfect management and a lack of party interest, we were beaten last Fall, by an unusually lare majority. Democracy is a chronic disease in this county, though when we take into consideration the deipgeated malignity of this treasonable epidemic, five or ?ix years ago, "com-.

Crawford, however, is a genuine Democrat, iiauch fmore honest than a large majority of his brethren in this county, who believed in rebellion, but were to "cowardly to fight for it. " A-ltherfgh tl party is rathef'back-;; ward in publicly acknowledging Capt." Crawford as its champion, he is, without doubt, an honor to it in every sense oi the word... Of course its reT l'usal to recognize huh in his true character 19' based upon motives of policy, and a lack of confidence in its ability to maintain- all the principles of the Democracy even here, where its nieiubers.with, :,one $ accord, almost," regarded the : suppression of the rebellion as a great wrong. The Democrats of Anderson Township, nearly all of" whom were represented in the Union army by negro substitutes, "whom; they had , stolen from their Kentucky masters, eatea and slept with during the interval of their capture, and their metamorphosis into Lincoln hirelings, have recently been thrown into great consternation owing to the immigration of an old pioneer darkey into that celestial recion. contrary to an unwrit ten code of laws which have hitherto 1 been faithfully executed This honest ' and harmless ofd negro is the subject i of much solicitude and speculation j on the part of these fellows, and it is ! probable that if a dozen, or more of them can succeed, some dark night, in guzzling enough Democratic- .inspiration into their dirty carcasses to work their courage up to the necessary elevation, they will attempt to drive him be3rond their dominions. 1 Their present opposition to. the coir ored population has its', basis, 1 presume, upon fears similar to those entertained by the young ladies who attended a Democratic meeting, carrying a banner upon' which was inscribed :; " Fathers, save - us from oe gro husbands! ' n' t a ;--' !- A Democratic School Director, in Greer Township, was recently censured by the School Examiner for prohibiting his teachers the use of the Bible in their schools. The Director came out strong in the Enquirer, denouncing the Examiner as au Abolition emissary, who was attempting to proselyte the rising generation to the principles of Republicanism by an introduction of the j-Bible into the public schools! We have a pure Democracy in this county! It opposes the Bible, Christianity, patriotism, and everything else with which it comes in conflict. The recent fire here has given Boonville a more unprepossessing appearance than usual, and several of our citizens are wearing long faces in consequence. Democratic whisky suffered to a considerable extent, though many persons were observed tq run the most imminent and dangerous risks in endeavoring to snatch the precious liquid from the devouring element. By the way, we have a very wonderful prodigy in this county. In the rustic little village, a few miles further in the interior, which bears the significant name of ' Lickskillet," there is an actual, live, energetic Republican bar-keeper 1 The main question in this county at present is, to bhip tobacco or not to ship it. Whether 'tis better to ship, and suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous commission merchants, or to sell, and, by one bold stroke, end the matter. A meeting. will be held in this place next Friday, when a celebrated tobacco somebody, who is interested in the success of the shipping principle, is expected to decide this intricate problem in the presence of the tobacco raisers of the county. 1 Since our good folks were so mercilessly imposed upon by the Hon. W. E. Niblack and the Sinissippi, they look upon every new movement, with very little favor, and it requires a mathematical demonstration' to set their minds at ease. This letter has already grown long, however, and I must hold up, notwithstanding the prolific nature of my text, (plural if you prefer it,) so. I will end the matter by saying more at some , time or other. Truly yours, . No Odds. . Union Meeting. in Hopklnsvllle. At a meeting 4f the loyal men of Hopkins County, held at" Madionville, Ky.," on .Tuesday, the 21st day of January, 1868, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Union Republican Convention, to be held at Frankfort, Ky., to nominate delegates from the State at large to the Union Republican Convention, to come off at Chicago in May next, W. M. Young was elected Chairman, and R. J. Littlepage, Secretary. The Chairman took his seat, and called the bouse to order, when' the following resolutions were unanimous ly adopted, viz.: Resolved, That we heartily approve the leading "principles of the great Republican prty as 'expounded by Congrees, and recognize' in them the only hope of political, (liberty for ourCOBBtry. i., 5 ;A;rUHi .. : . , i Resolved, That in General s Grant's definition of loyal men twsv? hojop-

Grant's standard of loyalty, we hereby recommend and reauest that he be arpointed as a delegate from this Dis trict to the said Chicago Convention.
