A fine crowd, however, greeted him, and in one of his characteristic efforts he made all feel good and happy. The. newa.of the t Republican victory in New Hampshire had stimulated the good people, tpo, and "they were prepared for a good time, l'ven tbo ladies, notwitb. atandiog the constant rain of the day,' in goodly nurubcr were out,' giving their influence end cheer for the good cause. The fpeakcr held the audience in nt'en. tive silence for full two hours, save on) when interrupted by bursts of applause that fvUowed somo of Li fine points. The Colonel always does well when he addresses an. audience, and thSV was certainly one of Ms fine efforts. Tho State Convention at Indianapolis had placed hiia on tho tieket as an Elector for the 4th Diatrict. The saino position he had filled in 1650,-and again In 1SG0, when he cast tho vote of tho Diatrict für the la uicotcd Abraham Lincoln. These trusts he filled with credit to himself aod the entire apprCal of tho party. In he was tho caodidato for Congrcas with Col. J, II. Lane, who-was elected. InlSGl he was again tho itandard-boarer of the Republicans in opposition to Dr. (Icorge Itcrry, and carried the District in the face f au oppoition majority of tnoro than three thousand votes. Thi.was odo of tho uioit skillful and successful coDletta ever had in tho State. Col. Farrjnlar it a;;ain recking tin noruination for Congres.

In bis review of tho mcaturc.i of the opposition for tho last eight yearn, ho won fer himself, in tho estimation of our people, a position that no one has excelled. . Other tnon v horn tho party delight to honor aro seeking the nomination, aod the content will bo a spirited one; yet when a decision Is had, all will yield their preference, and labor for success with the nouiieee.

LETTER FROM INDIANAPOLIS. - ' Indianapolis, March 7, 'G8. , t DtAE IjINOiiam, I have been much amused at the sharp shooting of your several correspondents. Some eeem to have put theireel into trouble by a kind of general disposition to be sarcastic; others have become tho special champion of this or that candidate, especially for Congress'. 'Now all 'of these add aomcwhat to the interest of the paper, and should add considerably to the interest of thoT'ublisher. Whether you have been ia business long enough to say to the candidates, that while you may have your individual preference', yoür 'paper, "as a& advertising medium, within due bounds, is for aale, 1 know not ' You Vill" como to that in dao course of time; possibly, however, like somo of (be ret of u$; not until you shall have toiled in the thankless and payless work of bringing men; into . notice who would not speak to you if you were not a valuable piece of machinery, I have known not a few who supposed that the slow payment of two or three dollars , a year not ooly bought the ordinary advantages of a County paper, but : laid .-the Editor under laiticg obligations to boot. I havo known men patronise a paper by reading it regularly, and by and by, by a generous gift of say fivo or ten dollars for arrearagca of years, and a puff whichVould cost them fifty dollars in any wcllWtcrii paper. ' Charge! Ilingham, charge for everything of the kind, anil then you will work harder for less money than any blacksmith in tho County, llxcuso me; don't eAurp, but rtqniro pay as you go. I havo -paid rharga against candidates more I' in twclvo years uid somo for potters which cost mo in cash, for the white ppcr, more than some of the candidates paid the wholo canvass. I could pi vo you somo specituena of meannt.xa in thia line lhat would make aotno men blm-h; but they (tho accounts) are outlawed by the statute olliruitation. , I have my preferences ns between tho tovtral candidates, but I am not in the employ of either. I cannot afford to write a put! for' nothing any more than you can n fiord to print it for nothing-. I iliall bo atinßcd with the election of the mm who pays tho printer most liberally, and I am oppoKcd to the man who pays nothing at all. Jt will not bo enough to bo nominated in your DUtrict this year. Printer's ink will be needed after the nomination, to socuro the election; and no man do germ to to elected, even if nominated, who dota not inreftt liberally in that. Tell him that ink is higher than it used to be when CongrekRineu got only eight dollars a day. A very largo per ceut. of that extra g'J.OOO is duo to tho men who makeCongrcawmon. 1 r7tnf you notliog for tho hint hero given. If you live to bees old as 1 am, you will not need the hint. T. A. Goodwin.

Kiliior American, Somo half doxen gentlemen having announced themselves as candidates for tho next Congressional noruination lit tho 1th District, it is time lhat tho republicans of Franklin County had cxprcnacd their preference, r in what manner they intend to proceed in tasking their choico among tho number propping. Somo would liko ua to infer that thii mat . . 1 Vf 1 t . a - lor ia uwiviuituuu airaaey. iion-rcsiucnisi lVcudo-Johnsonitcs, and relatives of one of tho asrlrants, (however avuiisu.o or worthy bo may bo,) cannot without con aiderutle Impudoneo and greater irjimtlce, urrango and appoint themselves a Committeo on (his subject, and proceed to final action. Tho ltcpubiicana of Frunkllu County sro of age, and fully alio to t peuk for themselves; and they propone- to protect against llio parking and gagging attempted to bo practiced upon them. No doubt a majority of tho party In this County favor the nominating election system, as the fairest, tho most practicable, and the beat for all purposes and pnrtlea concerned. Your late communication denouncing thia plan as Impraeticnble, unfair and liable to bo controlled by wlro-pullem, Inn tho twang of deu:agogulsui, and bears tho ear luniks of the gentleman whoao hricutt a . at.. " f'MMfirif always requires his attention when defeat is prohublc, but who has tho happy faculty of finishing up Northern and West cm pleasure trip) in time to accept noiul nation after the litrlct haa been ho tnoJeled as to If tider defeat itnpnrslblc. To re fer io a former election ns evidence of availability, ia simply to insult all who know the facta. And now to claim popularity that was not thought of when this wonderful Mrcngth was needed agnlnt Ilolman, luia a mudoruto trace of tho ridicu loin on its lace, Other candidates may bo condemned and their claims directed, but "ono there ia above all cthera" whone imJety is so irrest that charity begs approbation where merit dure not invito comparison, or the record allow an honest exhibit. Harmony demands that cettuln parties' proceedings should bo acquiesced in or they will ruWo the devil of diacord, and then Mjuio such na pretext againt their eelfisli management, with a dclro to rule or ruin. The intimation that Mr. Julian intended to bolt on hla failing to any longer win, aa effort mut bo now made to prevent tho jeople rxprcaahg their preference. The nominating election system U the best, becuukO all cundidutea who depend upon trlek and Convention packing op pine it. I do not write that all who op poo it depend on auch means of advancement. Dut I repeat that all who trust in demagoguery are opponents of the Popular Convention system. Candidates who rely upon tho people, and whoo strength and hope the peoplo are, are in favor of the pooplo choosing directly whom they prefer, without tho intervention of sulf constitutod boards of control, who proposo to manago the parly and defeat competitors by t ho swindling sud rottenness of Convention gambling snd Duleate huckstering. Tho wi iter prefers tho April Nominating Llcction plan, and moves its adoption by tho Ilepublicuni of Franklin County, Any candidate for nomination who foara thia system should not claim that availability and popularity aro synonyms for tho initial ol his name. Any who fear tho verdict of the rank and filo of the party should not prosumo to foist themhelvea upon tho party aa candidate for election, through the corrupt machinery of County or District Delegate Con von lions. If my motion is seconded, and if, alter due conai deration, it is adopted by the part v in this County, the reople will 1 l-o masters of tho ituation, and the randi Üato that they prefer, whoever It may be,

will be, aa ho only should be, the nominee

of the party and not of the politicians." Mar i Hl). lKl'J T I IUtav.i For tha Amerioan. Tho time is rapidly approaching when th Electors of tho 4th District will bo called upon to determino who ehail be their atandared-bearer in the approaching political contest. It therefore becomes our duty to "gird on our armor" and pre pare for the stutrgle. . It is the part of wisdom to prepare for every great emer gency, and as the question before u is on of grave importance, we should give it our careful consideration. Thero is no lack f men who are willing to serve people," as a representative in the 41st Congress, bj from present indications it seems that the contest is narrowed down to two, and that we are to decide be tween Hon. Geo. Y. Julian of Wayne a . . . ..V ana llon.Jno. II. I arqulur of Irankhn. Hon. Ueoi W. Julian ia well known. Ho is a representative of the cardinal doctines or the Itcpublican party. His record for tho past twenty year is beforo tho country. We invito attention to it. Its brightness ia not dimmed by any apologies for traitors, nor its beauty marreu oy n reiusii 10 exitnu me privilege oi our lawa to u long suffering, oppressed race, whoso highest claim to protection is their unswerving fiJclity to the "old flag" in a )ind 'l truitors. it is asserted by many l.yiO,ii a dirorgauizer; that ho is oclCsli aud unscrupulous, looking moro to his own ioteimt than that of his party. Tho revcrso of this is tho truth. It is alleged by his opponents that his enotuie will "Tfi7r" him, thereby securing tho election of an opposition candiduto. ' "Mka tbat appear, AnJ I iba! rmJU wtt ktse0ve You tll iso i fur, on your worJ, Uow.vvr uullkvljr or aU.urJ." Of all tho publio men of Indiana, (and I might with proprioty say of tho nation,) no ono haa anoountercil lie roe r opposition than Mr. Julian; and if, at time, in tho bent of controversy, he hjia turned upon hisäoHsavtants, it on 1 r proves hitu human, and ho dcfCivcs great ciedit for tho tnuny aignal victories ho bus scliiovcd over I bono mitlcontcut.4, tho.'O barnacles ou tho Ship ofStato. Aa n fiiend to Mr, Julian, wo aro unwilling to ace him sacrificed on tho dotesta bio pretext of expediency. Wo want no txpnlivnfjf candidate, and will accept none such. It is fur moro becoming that grand organisation whoso alrugzlo in dcfoimo of Liberty and J ml icq in iu.itkcd by a bun dred buttlo-litlds, to nominate a good man and Iruo, and mako the tight on principle, and. if defeated, go down lilo tho Cumberland, with our Hag nuilcd to tho loast every man at his post, and our guns belch ing forth dcfiutico to the foe, us the wave of defeat close over us. We havo a majority of 1 ,100 Yotei, analiftl.il is frittered nwsy, let tlo rccpons-il iiity rest where ft tclor.pa. Hon. J no. II. Fani'ioar U well known to tho people of our District, and h is sened ono term in our National Leblutuic. Though generally correct in hla action on tho great questions of tho day, ho has in some InMuuces dic:irded tho duties of the stutcatuan and aMumcd tho role of tho politician, without maintaining tho ptiuciplo of jiiKtli'o to all, but, on tho con trary, doparrjair.uldely from it. His vote refusing to extend t) tho Frecdmen la tho District of Columbia "equality bofoie tho law," Msttlortsto wliitcwaih the do foitlon of Andrew Jolitirnn, and hi t veto giving to tho soldier $100 and to himself $3,01)0, under the mUrald.! subtcr fuco of eiiuallxlng bounties, do not receive tho rordiut end unqualified approval if IhoHOWho bclicvo In cuual and exact Jus tie o to alt. In the firt case, tho result has trovon his action unwise, to say the least. In tho second, mo behold Andrew Johnson impeached before tho bar of Iho Hcnato for high crime and misdemean ors. And as to tho lat, every soldier who cnlUted early In tho war frutn p.itrlotio motive, knows that $1(iQ docs not equiliso tho bounty paid him for long and faithful service, wllh that aid at a later period for a few months' "rear guard duty," Mr. Julian voted against the "sham ciiuullsutlon bill," which, taken In connec tion with hla earnest advocacy of measures to provide) "Und for tho I mi die and home lor the homeless, should comiccnd him to evrry soldier and laboring man. It la needless to tUtll npett tho vnrlous reasons assigned by his opponent why ho ahnuld not reiilvo Iho nomination, for 'Tiro." has completely ci turned the fallacy of all suoh IOmoii yet advanced. ' Eternal vigilance Is tho pilco of liberty," aud if wo would mccred, wo miM take Iho Hold and "carry the war into Afilcn,'' for our wily adversaries early commenced tho rnuinlern by a grand flourish of trumpets. ' Watchman, what of tho nlghlV" wa tho herald of tho coming con file t, and Its reckless mendacity nnd bitter hostility to the Kepresvntatlve i f tho principles its author long kineo renounced, stand as a warning of tho tactics we wilt hava to face. It ia aUo reported that a promising ast.lrant to Concrorsionu! honors has applied tho opprobrious epithets ol rfAs, fto., to lltofe who are so ih'ntl as to auppoit Mr. Julian. This is uncalled for, and highly unbcoomlng that dignity we have a right to demand in our next representative. It is our duty to sco that tho issue I farily brought before tho people; that a frco expression is had; and if adverse to our choico, to yield to tho fiat of tho peoplo and give our support to their choice, We would aay, in conclusion, that as Mr. Julian is not only competent, but will qualified for the arduous, und responsible duties ofa KeprcHcntutive. has never prored recreant to principle or false to any pledge, and has always been in the advance of every struggle waged in tho interest of humanity and free government, mere neither is, nor ever can bo, any good rea eon for the proposed change. For Congress. Tlo Chronicle, published at Grccnsburg, I'ecstur county, presents wol. ira u. (J rover lor tho nomination for Congress in this District. Col. Crovcr Is one of the tried soldiers of tho Union, and boars upon his body tho evidence of his services in tho good cau:o. Ocn. IL F. Spooner, a one-armed soldier, has also been named in connection with the utTioo. It Is more than probablo that Jennings and Jefferson counties will present Col. John It. Cravens for tho nomination. The gentlcmon wo have named poisons the requisite qualifications, snd either of them will mskean aoceptuble candidate. It is gratifying, that

so far, there is no personal cauvass for the.

nomination, and that all seem disposed to let the District Convention select the candidate. Madison Courier. m i-wMTaasaHtOsWsiM-LETTER FROM HARRISON. IIabmson, 0., March 17th, 18C8. Dear American, In your last issue your correspondents from Harrison claimed a large share of your. columns; hut as it is Ecarccly probable that they will all bo on hand this weck, I have concluded to. trespass on your good nature again Ity Ute way, permit me to whir-pcr that the American is a great favorite with tho members of our Society, end every Clionian has pleasure in perusing its contents. Our Society still lives, though the enter tainment ia over, and our last meeting was well attended, duties were promptly met and cheerfully discharged, and all leel well satisfied that' our At-sooiation has been and will still continue to bo beneficial to all connected with it, both socially and in the improvement of ' our mental powers. Our paper, "The Droad-Ax,'' is one of the marked institutions of our so ciety, and though its warning and teach ings sometimes meet with less attention than they deserve, we hope it will continue a power for good. Wo know, alas! too weii, that the teaching of even heavenly wisdom is iady neglected by tho children of men, and although we msy feel sad aud 1 a i even surprised tnat a member ot our so cial literary band should bo soon forget tho advice and warning contained in tho selection appended to this from the "Uroad-Ax, yet wo must acknowledge tho fact that au evil spirit of pcrvcrseness Jius led one of our number, of whom we hoped for better things, for moro stability, more of that determined porsoverance to surmount difficulties, which ouht to have tccurct?

Tiukting that our new editor, nr radier editics. villi permit mo to continue to make gltotiott from our psper, I rem a In Youis, Cl.loMAN. Seymour vs. Pendleton. Tho speech of ex llovernor Seymour In (lie New Yotk Demoeiatlu Convention will fall upon tho Fendletoti Detnocraoy of the et with tho ctUi'toten exploding lomU shell. This apeceh, fortified as it was by the applfiuso aud approval of the conientlon, sottU Ibe isao ol Mr, t'endleioii so fur s the vote ol .New xork Is concerned. 1 he Doinoernoy ol thatMato will pposa hla tiumluallon by tho Natloual Conven tion, and, as the putty run not entertain the most distant hope of electing its tiouil. neo without Iho doctoral vote if New Yorlc. somebody will be nominated who ia not ao ubnoxloua to the mourned iutcr cats of Wall eiltet aa Mr. Fendlcton, In the West the Demovrttlo pros has appealed to the peoplo to make common cause acaliist bondholders, and to chet Mr. Pendleton to the l'rcsldeney, as means of getting rid cf tho public debt without paying It; but In New York Oov ernor Heymour and the assembled wisdom of the Democracy call upou tho bond holdera to support tho Dcmocratio party to protect their own Interests, Tho "time honored principles" are, of course, tho samo. in Indiana and New Yotk, for tho oracles of tho party tell us that they ate everywhere tho samo and ot universal application; but somehow, on the bond question that policy which in tho West is labeled Democratic, is in New York denounced by Uovcrnor Seymour and tho Demoeratlo party in convention assembled, as intrinsically villainous, aud destructive to publio honor as well as ruinous to the host interests of tho people st Isrgo. Hesr what tho mouth piece of tl o New York Democracy isyi of tke Fendletonians: ''It is a mistake to suppose tho interests of bondholders and tax-payers are antagonistic. The fact is overlooked that in order to make any laving by giving the bondholder a worthless paper we would bring upon our States disaster and dis honor, which will cost a hundred fold what wo can aavo. It moans we are to give to tho laborer for his toll a base cur rcney, It moana that the honor of. our country shall be kept In uncertainty and confusion; that tho laboring man shall Buffer by tho Increased cost of the comforts of life; that tax-payers shall bo bur thencd by a government proud to bo oorrupt and Imbecile by thia very depreciation of money; wo can not afljrd to specu late uroq tbo uation'a honor at so fcaifuj

a a. ! t no discredit on our currency. There is no speculation in paying our bonds io paper. j. mans: uoa mat tne jauu wmcn wo all hold as one man seeks to level up, not to level down. While, therefore, we differ as to the' construction of the contract with publio creditors, wo mast not confound the position of those who thiok it right to pay in paper, but who battle to make that paper as good as gold, with the position of those who mean not only to pay in paper, but who are destroying the value ol'that paper. That is repudiation. We are not trying to give paper to tbo bondholders, bat gold end silver to the people."... . When Governor Seymour spoke of those who mean-not only to pay the publie debt ' la). .1 a A m in paper, nut io destroy the value of the paper, he had Jo view Brick l'omeroy'a plan, who proposes to issuo enough greenbacks to absorb the debt at par, and then to repudiate the greenbacks; aod also to such orthodox Democrats as Jesse D. Bright, who said to the Kentucky Convention that, whilo he was opposed to paying the war debt, he would have no objection to giving greenbacks for the bonds, aod then he would let the greenbacks tske care of themselves. It is plain that an irrepressible conflict is preparing inside of the Democratic party, between the faction of repudiators and that smaller clas's of Democrats who bclievo that it is posxible for national honorto bo preserved and common honesty to be practiced by tho corrupt and corrupting Democratic party. Wo shall listen with interest for the enraged yells of tho Cincinnati Enquirer and Chicago limc$) against tho Wallstreet bondholders whose voice found expression in the Democratic Convention of tho Stato of New York.
