‘Resistance to Tyrants is Obedience uz lod*’ ' J. B. BTOLL, EDITOR. E WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20, 1860, GROUNDLESS APPREHENSIONS, We find the following strange article in last week’s Lagrange Standard: John B. Stoll, propri ' aior Sbmsirt deins SO of 0 0 for the untireing and effective labor m behalf expended by him since he became a citizen of this State. One year ago, when be wasa candidate for a nominatﬁ to Congress by the District Democratic Convention, he was cheated out of anything like a fair chance by the meanest species of political intriguing imaginable, and now, that heis a coqdi%ne for nom ination on the State ticket, the Democrats owe it to themselves that he receives fair play. . But notwithstandibg all this, it is our firm:belief thas Mr. gtoll will not - get. justice did bim, and that the Denio- | cratic party will a¥ain treat him un: 'fairly. Our opinion is that Norman Eddy, ‘of St. Joseph County, will be the Northern man gut uggnrthe Democratic State gicket, and the Southern part of the State, as usual, Will gobble all the rest of the places. o : Whilst we feel duly grateful for the friendly sentiment contained in the above, we beg to assure our esteemed contemporary that he is entirely mistaken in his surmises. . In the first place we were not a candidate for Congress last year, having from the bmse‘ protested against the use of our namein ghat connection. That the conventidn nevertheless gave us the highest number of votes, is certainly the strongest contradiction of the Standard’s assertion that we were “cheated out of anything like a fair chance.” If the mat ter had been entirely within our control, we would not have asked more than the distinguished . consideration which the convention manifested toward us, and wliich -we will ever hold in .grateful remembrance. No ome, it appears to us, has reason to be better satisfied with the result than ourself. The case stands somewhat different this year. We unhesitatingly avow ourself a candidate for State Auditor, and_trust it will not be deemed out of place for us to say that from all parts of the District we receive the most encouraging assurances of active support. If a disposition to treat us un fairly exists anywhere, we have no knowl cdge thereof, and as the Standard evinces an anxiety that justice be done in the premises, we ask its editor to indicate the individtals harboring* such thoughts that we may be enabled to meet them face to face!

Since we have said this much, it may not be improper to further disabuse the apprehensions of our radical friend by stating that Col.’ Eddy daes not want a nomination at the hands of the Bth of * January convention—that he has written ' his friends to that efféct, and _that he earnestly desires the nomination of the editor of this paper to a position on the State ticket from Northern Indiana.— To us, everything appears satisfactory. i S _The Fature Policy of the Adminis- ) tratiom.” » 2 The attention of the administration avill undoubtedly be directed to placing the business and currency of the country upon solid foundations.. What the people demand is stability and certainty in the busin.es of the country and'the administration ‘of our ﬁnﬁl::ial affairs. TChe most of the failures that have taken place since the end of the war have been brought about by fluctuations 1 the cur. rency and the consequent inability of business men to make calculations for the future. When the business of the country is in snch & condition that then ¢an calculate with reasonable certainty for two or three years in advance, courage: and conﬁdeﬁqe are imparted to all, enterprise is stimulated, capital is taken out of _bonds and stocks and invested in busi: ness, and the country prosﬁerous.- i Another cbject to -which the Administration must address itself is the funding of the national debt into bonds bearing a lower rate of interest. We believe the time is near at hand when this can be done, and when it is accomplished it will relieve the people of a heavy annual burden, a d will greatly expedite the prog reoo and impruvoweut vk the country.

We copy the above from a recent issue " of the Indianapolis Journal, the leading organ of the radical party of Indiana— Tt will readily be observed that even radical editors can no longer -disguise the fact that the business affairs of the country are ina most deplorable condition, " and that the gross mismanagement of financial affairs on part of government 1s the main cause thereof. We haven't the remotest ides that Congress will do anything to promote the business interests of the country, for, however convinced they may He of the necessity of such a step, the magnetic influence of monopolists, bondholders, and high-tariff lobbyists will prove too much for them, This has'been demonstiated too often to admit of a doubt.” There is but one remedy for the evil--a change of rulers. =~ . The New Seecretary of War. A Gen. Grant has a happy faculty of cre; ating a surprise. When he appointed a majority of obscure individuals s his legal advisers, the country was amazed.— When Borie resigned, and Robeson was appointed in his place, the astofiishment _ of the people knew no bounds. Our wonderful President has just preparéd another surprise for his “subjects” & the appointment of one Belknap as Secretary of War. It will be remembered that since the death of Gen. Rawlins, Gen: Sherman has been filling the position temporarily, ~ until an appointment could be made.— As probably none of our readers have ¢ver heard of Gen. Belknap,-they will doubtless appreciate the f""%:“l‘}*}“ the telegraph operator in fursishing us with & briéf»biomg:lyi of the Bew Secre.__L Wwﬁ?&?ﬁmﬁm& | College, N.J.,and sid td'bo s man of good abilities aad character.

T TR Judging from the meagre election returns furnished through the daily papers, it would seem that all interest has been lost since the general” result was made known. According to the latest returns, the result of the election on the 12th may be summed up as follows : e ¢ Pennsylvania re-elects Geary by about 4,000 majority, the republican candidate for Supreme Court, H. W. Williams, has probably 10,000 majority; and the radical -nojorlfyiﬁ-%hwbegidm-hﬂigﬂly* increased. In Western Pennsylvania the Radicals lost largely, Alleghany county alone showing a loss of 5,000 on the vote for President last fall, In Philadelphia and the eastern counties generally, the Democrats did not do as well. We had every reason to expect a majority of 5,000 for Packer in Philadelphia, but instead Geary carried the city by 4,400. Anp un fortunate division on the local ticket gave the State to the Republicans, It is difficult to ascertain the majority of Hayes over Pendleton, but it is tolera bly safe to put it at from 8,000 to 10,000. In Cincinnati the Democrats and Reform Republicans united upon a fusion ticket, and elected the same by majorities ranging from 1,000 to 2,500. Pendleton’s majority in that county is about 1,400—a large gain over the vote of two years ago. Oyr friends lost considerable in Columbugs and Cleveland. The Legislature, we fear, is in the hands of the Radicals, tEeir majority on joint ballot being prolably two or three—enough, however, to ratify the infamous 15th amendmient.

- It is useless to speak of lowa. That State is as hopelessly radical as Massachusetts. We are ‘entirely indifferent as to her mgjo;ity. whether it is 35,000 or 75,000. Nebraska renewed her allegiance to the party of intolerant and des potic ideas. 5t . We had intended to write at length on the cause of our defeat in Ohio’' and Pennsylvania, but on reflection we deem it prudent to escape the task. As to Ohio, we must confess that we had no hopes of electing the State ticket, but we did think that a democratic Legislature would be retained. ~ln this we are sadly disappointed, a matter we very much regret, as the chances for the final ratification of the 16th amendment are: greatly enhanced by the result. Until a few days before the election, we felt confident of the election of Judge Packer for Governor of Pennsylvania.— Private information, however, gave us an “inside view” of the manner in which the campaign was conducted by the Democracy. By resolution of the State Central Committee all public demonstrations on’our side were forbidden, and a quiet canvass insisted’ upon. The Radicals, on the other hand, held meetings in all parts of the State, and did everything in their power to arouse their followers to action. (eary stumped the State in person, whilst Judge Packer, who cannot make a public speech; contented himself with visiting County Fairs and shaking hands. He was ready to spend a liberal amount of his means to defray necessary expensgs, but we fear that but little thereof was applied to a judicious and effective use.— The Radicals had at the head of their organization the noted politician and wire-worker, Jobn Covode, who knows every trick by which'to win. The Democrats selected for the same position a man who knew but little of politics, and who evidently lacked the capacity to manage a State canvass. :

Our csteemed friend Stoll, of the Ligonier Banner and Laporte Argus, thinks we have a “slate” made up for state officers, to be nominated on the gighth of January. There could not be a greater mistake. We despise “slates” and *rings” ot all kinds. While: we have published the names of well known citizens of Indiana, who have been mentioned -in connection with several of the nominations, and commerted favorably upon their merits and qualifications, in only one instance have we brought forward a candidate of our own volition. That candidate was Col. Norman Eddy, from the extreme northern part of the state, and in no sense & “pocket” man. . The only two men named from the south end of the state, a 8 eaxndidatea. have been Judge Parrett and 'John C. SBhoemaker, both of whom were first named by other papers, whose comments we simply copied and endorsed. — Evansville Courier. °

Wewaccept the explanation of friend Whittlesey, and cheerfully acquit him of all suspicion of being in the “ring.” We would be pleased, however, to receive an answer to our former question; what “other” office “the pocket” felt a disposisition to “lift” us into? That’s the point, friend Whittlesey. . . —— - ———— How the Democracy is Defeated. The following paragraph from the Bryan (Ohio) Democrat explains, to a certain extent, the canse of Pendleton’s defeat-in Ohiozi s iyuis Gy “In behalf of the Central Committee we return thanks (over the left) to the four hundred Democratic voters who did not go to the r?ulla on last - Tuesday.— May the prosperity that attends Repnblicas :dmmxstrations be with them to!the end.”- : ;

That's the way things are done, not only in Ohlo, but elsewbere, At the October election in this State, lagt year, at least 10,000 Democrats failed to go to the polls, saying that they would come out at the Presidential election! Why are things thus? Cannot the Democracy, for once, prove themselves as. efficient campaigners as their opponents ? _The Forlorn Cause. . The Radicals of New York met in Convention, and” nominated a full State ticket for the November eiection. Two of their nominees declined the honor of being defeated by 50,000 majority, and tendered their resignation, After considerable coaxing Gen, Franz Bigel finally consented to accept the leading position on the ticket—that of Secretary of State, and Horace Greeley, out of pure sympa thy, takee the second place. Sigel’s name is expected to.draw B.large German vote, - but inasmuch as the Demoeracy have a g{mlu German on w«k&. the Rads will be doomed to disappointment, et Tomperance Ticket.

- This question is answered by the New gentleman of m . m. @, years of in the East, but in early life emigrated to Missouri, where, fora number of years, ‘he dited a newspaper inthe city of St. Louis. At that time he wasa strong supporter of Col. Benton. While engaged. as an editor he also speculated considerably in real estate, and amassed a small fortune. He next appeared in Washington, where he was known as a hack politician some twenty years since. He was engaged in engineJringclaims against the government, and was known as a mem ber of the lcbßy in those days when, however, the lobby was a less disreputable organization than it has since become.— He also held some minor political positions, and occasionally contributed to the Wash?gton newspapers. He finally removed to New York. He wasone of the donors_ of the house in New York presented to -General Grant by the Loyal League people. Mr. Corbin had been several tﬁne_s» married, but when he subsequently became acquainted with General Grant be was a widower. His marriage with - his present wife (Jennie Grant,) was first suggested to him by old Major Dent, the father of Gen. Grant's wife. At the old gentleman's suggestion, Mr. Corbin proceeded to Covington for the express purposc of making Miss Grant’s acquaintance and proposing to ber, The expedition was a complete success. He proposed to the lady, and, af ter a short courtship, was accepted ; and they were subsequently married. Mrs. Corbin is a healthy, honest, wholesomelooking Western lady, much younger than her consort (her age being apparently not much beyond thirty-five,) and she is not unlike her distinguished brother, the President of the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Corbin are. members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Fourth avenue (Rev. Mr. Ridgeway, pa-tor,) at which they both attend very regularly. In his time Mr. Corbin has been a clever political writer, and is credited among his friends withi being the real author of Gen. Grant’s inaugural address. Previous to his marriage with Miss Grunt, Mr. Corbin was exceedingly intimate with her brother, and he is also credited with the remark that-“if Grant should ever be elected President, he would. never retire from the position.” :

NenatorSpragueSounds the Key-Note. Senator Sprague’s' address befure the Worcester (Mass.) North Agricultural Society was delivered to a large and enthusiastic gudience the 28th ult. The New Albany Ledger says it differed from most agricultural orations in leing practical and didactic rather than eulogistic. Opening at once upon his subject, he showed a condition of things. which indicates that the country is ‘retrograding rather than progressing in.prosperity. While in England apd the continent of Europe the pro'dutive capacity ot the land has increased, here it has been gradually falling off, until it is a question whether a farm can be found in New England that can produce a crop with profit to the farmer. The sale value of farms is also decreasing— The difficuity is that the cost to the far- ‘ mer for the use of the maney ne employea in the crop he produced was more than | half its value.. That cost wasfound in ‘ the prices he paid for his farm, his tools, 1n the expenses of his buildings. In eon-: sequence of the extreme cost ol money it was imposeible for him to introdace | strengthening elements to keep up the ‘valae of his lands, in order that he might continue its productiveness; Farming is the: first to feel the effect of this dearth of money, becnuse'it is not able to make quick returns. Commerce and manufactures are already touched, while bankiog and dealing in money will be the last.— The centralization and monopoly of money is what is impoverishing American tarmers, and Mr, Sprague’s remedy is the radical destruction cf this monopoly.— Some $40,000,000 comes into the Treas: ury from' customs and internal revenue each month, passing through "the hands of twenty or thirty thousand collectors, ‘with whom it remains an indefimte time. Tln the governments of the Old World every dollar is brought in at the moment of its collection ; it is then parted with at the market prices, at the proper security ; it thus acts as a balance to the market, holding it in check, preventing any combination of power, united to uphold or to effect it. The example of Great Britain in this respect is well worth imitating, for that system that withdraws so much money for so long a time, and without regularly returning it, weakens the life of husiness, trade and manhood of the country. :

G o eemana T OF T S ged There are in the State of Indmug abont 60,000 voters of German birth, Lke our native born, they are divided in their political sentiments—a large majority, bowever, being identified with the Democracy. Of the seven German papers published in the State, three are devoted to the advocacy of democratic principles, viz: The Indiana Volksblatt, published weekly at Indianapolis, by Julius Beetticher, esq., who may justly be termed the pioneer of the German press of this State, having established his paper over 21 years ago, and published the same regularly ever since, steadfastly adhering to the principles of liberal Democracy, and gallantly’ defending its champions in everyconflict during his long journalistic career. Second ; The Indiana Staats-Zeitung, pab}iél?ed weekly and tri-weekly, by J. Sarnighausen, at Ft. Wayne—a paper of extensive circulation throughout the Northwest, and ed--ited with marked ability. The third is the Evansville Daily and Weekly Demokrat, published by the Lauenstein Bros.,"who are aleo publishers of that excellént journal, the Evansville Courier. ° 5 Fiie

The number of German democratic papers published in Indiana may appear very small, and ﬁl’,‘is indeed to be regretted that sach cities as Lafayette, Logansport, and other important points, are not supplied with vigorously edited German 'papeﬁs', devoted to the interests of the Demoeratic party ; but a great difficulty seems to exist in the indisposition of leading men to furnish ‘the necessary means wherewith to place a newly established paper upon a sound basis, many, of them seemingly laboring under the impression that all that was needed consisted in a few hundred dollars for the purchase of type and a dilapidated press, and then graciously throwing all the care and ‘responsibility upon the shoulders of the unfortunate individual selected as the manager of the concern. The result of all this is a speedy suspension—the publisher becoming discouraged by the indifference of the instigators of the project, and their unwillingness to extend to him the necessary support. It must not be supposed, however,! that our German fellow-citizens are, in consequence of the small number of German papers ﬁublished in Indiana, restricted in' their supply of literary food. There is scarcely a family in the land but what receives at least one paper. Very many patronize the local (English) press, (although the language in which it is printed is far from familiar to them), besides being regular subscribers to from three to six journals from different parts of the TTnion. : : Sz

Bat, it is not our purpnse to delineate upon this subject. What we desire is to acquaint those who cannot read German,/and who have no other means of coming in"possession of like information, with the sentiments prevailing among the German Democrats ot Indiana, as expressed through- their regpective organs. -We will begin with a lengthy editorial in the Tndianapolis Volksblatt, qﬁ Septembe\r 18th, bearing the caption : “A few words in regard to the next election,” The article is too lengthy to reproduce entire, we therefore condense’ a portion thereof, and give the balance in literal translation :

- The editor commences his article with the remark that from forty to fifty thousand German Democrats were disregarded by the neglect to promulgate thg notice f{r the tfeeting (ﬁ' the S%:te Central Committee through the columns of their organ—that having no personal interest in the election, he could exprecs himself without reservation, like anz other citizen believing the welfare of the people to be secure only. in the supremacy of the democratic party. Man{f of the leaders of the party are charged® with again being over-sanguine, disregarding all pfecau‘ tionary measures, and with being the same * Bourbons who learn nothing,” to whom is a&ributable the defeat of the gallant candidates for Governor, McDonald ang Hendricks. Had Hendricks canvassed the State one month sooner, and had he " not been betrayed by pretended friends, Indiana would have been saved the disgrace of being governed b{'{ an individeal having so little regard for his official oath. '~ ¢ Shall such follies be ‘repeated in another form?”’ or shall wisdom prevail, by discarding defanct politicians, against whom exists a popular prejudice that will prevent accessions to our ranks? “And, since the nomination of candidates i 3 being discussed in all parts, may we not be permitted to say a few words, especially since both parties admit that the German voteis so strong that it ig J)m’sdy entitled to a representative o the State ticket? The Republicans have repeatedly elected Germans to State officcs, and thereby évinced 4 commendable liberality that wa i‘xiv&ﬁ:;%tgj‘;gviﬁi‘déﬂfbﬁ: victory at the ballot: %{E}'l;hendmﬁmﬁ did not act po&t.i iciously, and it should }her?%w; L e‘(".‘ object mmﬁ*ﬁr‘ like liberality, and pay a proper respect ‘f;o.‘the..wilshe_s:oﬁ;;&f; Gemmﬁem

racy- Fbginn vy o *“That our English-speaking party associates have taken th% siniti§tive"in this matter, and at their own dceord propose a Germau for such a position, is very gratifying to- us, and furnishes controvertible proof that, they are not less liberal in this respect than the Republicans.

His Baxxsr: northern part of the State, and having recently established that able journal, the Larorte Arcus, he is in a position to do more to aid the noble . democracy of Indiana than aby other mame that islikely to. be suggestzd for that’ position. We therefore present'his name as a candidate for Auditor of gttu. and confidently predict hisnomination and triumphant elcction; 1 which event the tenth district will receive only ber just due, and the people will secure an bonest and efficient public servant.” = “ We fully endorse the Soeltion of the Democrat. Southernand Central Indiana have heretofore been principally favored in nominations ; Northern Indiana has always been looked upon as a step-child, in consequence of its Republican pregonden’nce. * resulting from the anti-slavery sentiment of the German voters in the counties of Lake, Elkbart, Lagrange, Kosciusko, Noble, &c. Slavery is abolished, and it will require little trouble, but wise action, to alienate this element from the Republican party. If this is not accom-, plished, we will never be able to elect a Democratic Legislature, no matter how gallantly Central and Sou'hern Indiana may contend for democratic success, and even elect the State ticket. “ For years we have called the attention of our so-called leaders to this matter, and ‘prayed for a few hundred dollars for the purpose of sending German speakers into that section, but the "Bourﬁons’” had not a cent, but thousands of dollars for cannonading, fireworks, bumming expelitions, &e. “A large portion of Germaus in that region are 8o biased, by clerical influences, that no democratic paper can be introduced to enlighten them oun the political issues. In Lake county, for instance, there are hundreds who firmly believe the Democracy ~contemplate the re-establishment of slavery, and who, therefore, look upon the Democratic party with intense hatred, as an ‘“‘anti-christ” organization. = _ “To enlighten that radically befog- - ged region, no one is better calculated than Mr. Stoll, who, by the light of reason, hus paved ‘the way, even in Noble .connty. He is a German, a man of literary acquirements, and one of the few of our number who are at home on the rostrum. He dgenks the German as fluently as Carl Schurz or Emil Rothe; his dialectic is sharp, pointed, and convincing; and, if his nomination for State -Auditor .would induce him to canvass the Northern part of the State, it would tend far toward swinging the three northern Con--gressional districts over untq the democratic side. 1

“ We know Mr. ' Stoll personally as a man against whose honesty and- uprightness even his political opponents cannotsayaught; we also know him as a contemporary in journalistic circles who venerates the German mother language, and whose bold stand contributed much *toward securing the passage of -the Gierman school law by the late Legislatare, .

“ We advocate his nomination’ not because he is a German, but rather because he ix trnly an honesi ‘man—a quality that has for years beon baulshed trom the State capitol.”. | - : The Volksblatt closes its article by diselaiming. any intention to forestall the action -of the pominating convention—justifies its expression of preference for Mr. Stoll as being in the interest of the party, and calls upon the German press to unite in a grand effort to secure for the 60,000 German voters a'representative upon the Democratic State ticket: ey b

The Ft. Wayne Staats-Zeitung, the editor of which delivered a nimker of gpeeches last fall in different:parts of the State, also expresses dissatisfaction with the manner in which the last campaign was condacted, and |attributes our defeat to that cause, ' He says the State Central Committee must not only adopt a more ystematﬁc ‘plan in the fature, but = . had L diaig s

“The leaders of the party must learn to dismonnt their ~-bo§by-'horse, and enter upon a new pathway, else we will ‘meet with the same fate next ‘year.- Itis no longer.in order to ride ‘the nigger and to - declaim of ‘States Rights’: from a ‘Oalhoun stand-point: we ‘must now direct our attention to questions of practical importance, hav-: ing a direct bearing upon the life and prosperity of the peopf;. The Wiscongin convention set us'a good example—we hope Indiana will profit by it. “ For the position of Auditor of State and Judge of the Supreme Court, we notice in various.quarters the names of sohn B. Stoll, editor of ti:e National Banner, for the former, and Judge Bradley, of Laporte, for aThe latter. We are heartily glad of this, and give tha proposition our earnes*’- sapport, from the fact that it would be a difficult matter to select “better )a.nd abler men for these positions. Wt will only point to the fact that with. the exception of last year it has been the practige to entirely ignorethe no I.l}o?:'par! of the State in making mominations, and that it is time to deal upon teims of equality’ witli;:t'bat‘;mtigg 3 but we are content. to rely mainly upon the ability and esmblished';‘reﬁutaﬁbﬁ of ‘the men.
