I accept the nomination and will do my whole duty in the campaign; and if you do your duty, as I believe you will, the nominee of this convention will be eleu t in October. I --hall meet you, and discuss the living issues of the dar, and have no doubt but I shall find many honest Republicans seeking light and knowledge, who will go with us and aid in restoring our country to its former prosperity, Loud calls were then made for Col. Eddy, who came forward and said, he desired to congratulate tho convention on their choice fox Congress. I have known his competitor for the nomination fr thirty years, and I promise you that he will trive the ticket his heartiest support. His name is never mentioned at home to Democrats or Republicans, without receiving tho mo. t profound respect. !'ou have made a nomination which will j l a the entire district, and no part of it more than .t. Joseph county. Yon can ekct your nominee, and yon must do it Man and his acts are soon forgotten, but principle live forever; there should be a return to the old land-marks of the constitution, and the spirit on which the principles of our government was founded. Your own experience will tel you that for seventy years the Demo. cratic party never went beyond the limits of the constitution ; but the party in power r.ow r. ;ver stops to enquire, "does the constitution pencil it ."" You know that by the last e mpress whole states have been given away to railroad corporations territory enough to cover all Franco and Prussia. A few years sc i vre passed a homestead 1 aw, s ft er uracil hard work oa the part of its friends, who were met by the annimmt that in so doing we were wasting the public domain but it will not be long at the present rate at which wc arc goinsrnntil xre will have to ask a railroad company tor our rights. The tariff yon have borne so long and so patiently, has recently been doctored by congress j Lut for every penny taken off your burd 'ns, ton have been added. Where yon vA save pennies by the last reduction of the tariff OB sugars and like article::, you will pay out dollars to the monopolists For every dollar that goes into the treasury, we pay twelve to the iroii-m mgers. do not call my opponents hard names: lad have never said that the last COBgi as was a carnival of thieves it was Horace Greeley that said so. Laughter Go to your hemes aad organise feg the conflict. Circulate reliable documents, and convince your neighbors that you arc 1; oest and in earnest. Appeal to the reason of your fellow citizens, rath er than to inllamc their passions, and the eld Eleventh district will be redeemed." At the conclusion of Col.

The Crown Point Register, of the 11th in st., comes out Strongly in favor of the publication of the doings of the county oonuniaaioners, and the itimized receipts and expenses of the County. Although the expenses of such publica tion m would be Bomething, the investment would be a profitable one to the people. The people ought to be thoroughly potted SS to the amount id" money they pay in taxes, and tho uses to which it is put. In an article of OOttsidcrable length, the Register states the following Busts relative to the management of affairs in Lake eounty: It takes, oa aa average, $14,000 to pay the eounty expena s Cot tie 3-ar; yet, according to tho itate ment of the auditor, there was paid out last year, on eooouiil of county expenses, over thirty six thousand dollars when there was no eauae for unusual expenses. Would not the peopk like to sec an itimized statement of anas to which this BMHej was pat, and would they not he willing to pay the expenses of publishing it? It is n 't probabli that every county presents as idrong arguaaenti in fare "f pnl ii. hing Hianaed atatentt ati f

the affairs of a county arc well managed) the people like to see an authoritative statement of it; and if they arc badly managed, the SOO&er the people know it, the better. THE FINMCES.

The first part of the article (which we emit on account of its length), gives a succinct Statement of the origin of the state debt, and the squandering of the people's money, by the party opposed to the Democratic party; and of the successful efforts of the Democratic state administration which came into power in 1833,, to satisfactorily adjust the state debt. In relation to the efforts bohi made by the Republieaa leaders to deceive the people on the question of the state debt, and their claim to an economical administration of state affairs, the SctUind says j To contrast more clearly the administration of public affaire under Demo crati and Republican rules, the following exhibit of the management of the statu finances under two decade? from 1850 to 1860 under Democratic rule, and from 1800 to 1870 under Republican rule, is presented.

The enormous increase of taxation ander Republieaa rule would have built three thousand miles of rnilroad, estimating the cost at twenty thousand dollars per mile. It would have made every mud road in the State a gravel road. The interest upon that sum at six per cent, would pay the annual expense . f running the state government proper, or w hat goes into the account ot state expenses, even under the present costly Radical rule.

DKBT. The honst of haying p:iil the atate 1 lt is a gross deception upon the taxpayers of Indiana, and evinces a want of confidence in the intelligence of tlie people, I'y the leaders of the Republican party. The last report of the aa l iter of state shows a state indebtedness of $5,660,597 61, and there was collected oil tin people the sen of J?!177.661 57 t pay the interest thereon. The amount of the statt- debt, Nov. 1, 1861, "!S reported by tin1 auditor of State, Hon. Albert Lange, wu 17,770,233. The auditor of state reporta, ote. hut unojficialIy that since his lust innual report there has heen retired of the state debt, and that there is now a fund on hand sufficient to .pay the bonds that hare not heen returned, to reduce the outstanding indebtedness of the state to $3,61 1,901 15, upon which there is paid rm annual int re I ( I 71 1 "7. 1' i

the year ending Nov. 1, 1861, according to the report of the auditor offstate, Albert Lange, the state debt was 7,770233, and the interest on tho same was 8309,558 09. But now, with an indebtedness of $3,614,901 10, the annual interest is $21 G, 7 44 07. So that while the debt of the state has been diminished more than one half of what it was on Nov. 1,1861, the interest has increased to more than two-thirds of what was paid in 1861. Under this state of facts which cannot be truthfully contradicted what becomes of the boastings of the state organ of the Bcpablican party, and all the lesser lights, that the Republicans have in the past nine years paid off aft of the indebtedness of the state ? But how has the state debt been paid? Tho Democratic legislature of 1.02 passed an act to provide a sinking fund " for the reduction and ultimate extinction of the public debt.'' The levy was two cents on the hundred dollars on the taxable property of the state. This action of a Democratic legislature was the ii r.-j t effort for the payment of the public debt, but tho asseaament did not begia until the next year. This tax was continued until 1863, when it was increased to 5 cents, and in 1866 to 10 cents, at which rate it was to continue until the debt Was paid off. Under this sinking fund tax levy, the following sums have been collected:

Total... Estimate. ..$6,347,036 18 These figures show how the debt has heen paid The bonds given in liquidation of the internal improvement bonds in 1846, fell duo in 1866. Governor Morton, in his messace to the special session of the legislature in 1805, took the position that the bonds were payable at the plcatHTt of the ztatr and not twenty y ars after date. The legislature took a different view, and passed an act for the adjustment or payment of the debt. It was the state debt bill of 1SG5 that provided for the payment of What has been paid of tne state debt. That bill was not a Republican measure. A Democratic senator introduced the bill in the senate, every prominent senator of both parties voting for it. The bill ;il-o passed the house, both parties voting for it, and the bill thus passed has almost entirely paid oft" the public debt. These are the facts in regard to the adjustment of the state debt. As the figures show, whatevcrhas been paid of the llt. has been paid by TAXATION, and not by Republican economy, honetlg or tagat tty. What are t rmed the ordinary expenses of the state government, shows Jlepublican extravagance in comparison with Democratic economy.

As a matter of interest and to cnrJjle the public to comprehend the movements of tho hostile forces, a summary of Operations is herewith appended, which includes those which have t t'een place since the ca:ture of Saarbruck bv I A the French. On the 2 of August the French attacked Saarbruck. At that tine.- the Prussian forces were located as follows: Their right rested at Trove?. From thence their line extended in a direct line to Saar-Louis and Saarbruck, and thence bout nt alt oaf rajght tmgtem to the east, and ran back toward Landau. The right, from Treves t Saarbruck, was commanded by Gen. Steinmetz, and the left fr-m Saarbruck to Landau, by PrinCC Fredrick Charles. The French line, with its left al Metz or Thionville, stretched across in treneral easterly direction, to Wcissenbarg, thence south to Lat idjurir. Uaguenan, and Strasbourir. The line, however, was not continuous. A portion of the French force was at Met., :.nd stiil another from Wcissenbarg to Lautenburg, a distance often miles. On the 2d of Aagust, the Prussians advanced in :reat force against the French position between VA eisscnburg and F-mf-nhiiTr Th Fmnch dfc tided , . . .7 . ix f lthe position Wltn Only lOUaj S divunon of McMahon's corr.s, while the Fru Btans took into action portions of the fifth and the eleventh l'rus.-ian army eorpo, and a part of the second army corps ui Bavaria. A contest between portions of three army corps and a single division could not remain long doubtlul. The French were driven out with considerable loss, and they fell back, along the railway towards Bitche. On the 6th, the Prussian left made a general attack along their front, apon the seat tered French troops who extended from Saarbruck to Worth. This battle lasted from BOOM of Saturday until about 10 o'clock at ni'rht. The attack was opened upon MeMahoa'l left by Gen. Kamer's division, near Saarbruck. The French right was attacked by the troop who had taken Weiss nburgi and who shuck the French at Worth. The Preach, defeated, tell back toward Nancy ; and McMahon hastened to connect himself with the French left, which reached from "Metz. This, as will be seen by a glance at the map, uncovered Strasbourg or, rather, cut it off from the French line. The French report of the battle is as follows : Marz. Auf?. 7, 4::i0a. in.
