Public Speaking For the benefit of our Starke county readers in particular, we say to them that we are assured that Mr. Packard will meet his opponent, Mr. Jehu C. Jones, at Knox, cn Saturday next, for the purpose of discussing tho political issues of the day with him. Owing to the short notice and other arrangements being made beforehand, Mr. Packard had to forego the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jones at the other places he ii ported, in the Republican, to tjper.k. Tho Conspiracy. It i3 uitless for the opponents of Douglas the Llncolnites an 1 the Breckinridge bolters fo try to disguise the fact that they hive conspiied to defeat Mr. Douglas, fur everything published by the organs cf these faction, and all the speeches mad by the lf.uiers of th?se fanatic, go t prove thut thy have irrmrd a conspiracy, m l that they ore at a:i un lersTniinj ai to the ginie tl:at is to be played. The Breckinridge ore::i recently ttarted at Indiana: olis, the Oll Iii Guard, is now the Republican text-bo k, an I is ( -fpd from more extensively than aay of thc most ably conduct?d opposition journals. Thc sentiments contained iu its editorials are endoised to a great extent by the Editors of the North. They r raise Breckinridge, and in return Breckinridge's friend applaud ' Old Ab?,' and so the work goc on. The bolrrs say that Douglas is not the "r'Zar" nominee of the party, ani the Kopubucaii.s are it after t'-em.end ay the; pive Democratic authority for it, and then quote from the ' Old Line Guard.' These disorganize have the impudence to coinpare Douglas tr Van Ruren, as though he w as the bolter, un l sy that in four years he will be politically as dead as Van Düren has becu since he bolted the nomination of Cass and Butler ; and they claim that Dreckinri-lge is the regular nominee of the party, when he is really th-i candidate of a lot of bog'us delegates and a suad of bolters, fanatics and avowed disuaionita. Thy say they left the party because ihey could not support the principles contained in the Charleston Platform. This is simply untrue, and their actions prove it. If they bolted on account of principle, why did tuet stat if the convention AFTER THE PLATFORM WAS ADOPTED and vote for the men of their choice FIFTY-SEVEN times ? and when they found they could not get those they wanted, or rather, couIJ not DEFEAT Douglas, then they manifested thsir love of principle by bolting! All the principle they had at heart was the same principle that the Republican party has been acting upon for some years past, namely opposition to Douglas ; sn 1 when they found they could not defeat him in the Convention, for the purpose of carrying out their principle, they bolted, made a nomination, formed a coalition with the Republican party, and the members of the new firm of Greely, Yancy 4 Co. are novr in full operation, atririnto carry out their great principles opposition to the candidate of the people for the Presidency Stephen A. Douglas. Democrats beware of them and the dif rnizing documents they are now circulating. They would sooner see the Union d'usolved than Douglas elected President of these United Stat. We are tilvl to say that the Administration Breckinridge Democrats in this county, do not dssire to have an electoral ticket run in this State for Breckinridge and Lane, and they say very truly, that it would be suicidal and worac than uselcs", as there is no hope of givin the State to B.eckinridge, if there is a Breckinridge ticket gotten up in this State, then the matter w ill be fairly understood nd acted upon. We entertain the hope tod belief that those win differ with the groat majority of th Democratic pnrty w ill not permit themselves to be controlled by disappointed aspirants who are evidently tiy'ng to destroy the very party that has given them thc positions they now hold, merely because the entire party will not do their bidding. Bremen Pol. The Democrats of German Tp. will raise a pole at Bremen, on Saturday, the 11th day of August, which will b one week from Saturday next. Mr. Packard lis agreed to be pres ent and address the Democracy A very lirge turn out is expected, and thc Democrats in that vicinity are making calcul :tions on having a Cne time. All that is necessary lo insure this is a good attendance. The speakirg will bo of a character that it will both inerM nd iu?tn t. Coxe on?.

(what it true) that evervbodr I knew they had lit'.le or nothing to do with thc tak ing care of tbj poor. We leave our readers to contrast thes. two paragraph?. The logical old gentleman does not think they erred when they unlawfully took charge of the poor, but fays, " every body understands the Commissioners had very littie if any control over this nutter." He says they j will make it all right by making ths Urmocraiic ex j officers disgorge.' He docs not pay a word about the amount that Fuller has already failed to ac-: ! count for Should he keep on as he has commenced, according to his exhibit,' the county will be ioua:id swindled out of between four and five thou dollars. The thousand or more that Fuller has failed to account for, wou'd go far toward building a Poor House, when the poor of the county! could be taken care of much cheaper and better than they now are. Eut, they never say one word j and in the case of Packard and Corbaly they have ! shown themselres to be barely and corruptly par- j tial, by making Packard pay up immediately, and letting Corbaley, wbj w as Packard's predecessor in the Clerk's oi'Sce, go without paving what was due from him when Packard went into office, because he (Corbaley) is a brother Republican, and they " trre afraid to pusfi HIM, fearing that it miaht Lvfa .V un." We must ssv that v lnri v . r..' r - v .!, i e . ... , but httic faun in the honesty of men that will let politic? control them in this manner. For some time we hoped, for their own reputation and the good of these concerned, that they wculd make some airaiigement about this matter, but if they have t!;e public has not been informell of it, und the editor of the Republican said Le would not be slow in making the matter known. Next he t-pc::ks of thc Auditor's fees, and sa?d so. He then goes on to peak of the extra labor Mr. FuII-r had to perform We suppose he has refe! enco to his J'ling the Head lliceipis. This, wc understand, was not thought tobe legal, and Ful. Ier told tl eiu that, as l.e was not entitled to anything for fiiinir thciu, he would bs contented w ith half what he had brought iu his bill for. In speaking of the expense of the Commissioner., he savs that it is well known that there was a majority of Democrats on the Board, the Crst two sessions, und that the greater part of the expense was fur these t'jrin-. This is very easily accounted fur; ;.iil we have often heard the reason iven for the long sittings of the Board. When Fuller went into the office 1... was no i-norant f the duties he bW, and detained the Board at least tw iee ai Ion" as it had been in the habit of sitting. He is, of course, getting to be more expert now, but his bungling manner of doing business has undoubtedly cost the county many dollars in the shape of Commissi ners fees. He is a very slow man, and is particularly slow about stopping that leak. Snakes in his Trowseiis.

Iustead of being an " indolent man, he has ever been a hard working farmer- Re started in the world without anything, j an( we denture to say, that were his matters all straightened up, and all Mr. Fuller's liabilities t liquidated, lie would be worth at least twice as j mch as thc old lazy hypocrite who calls him -in-, dolcnt" and " worthies." Where Thompson is I known, Fuller's remarks will have pnct to hat he desires. a contrary It will be news to Thompson's friends to learn from Auditor Fuller that he is " indolent " and " worthless."

J. il lliisuu, iriaci uuv..j'i.. no ., called O the Chair, and Jacob Reiver was chosen Secretary. Hon. Lloyd Glazebrook was called for and introduced to the citizens, who made one of his telling speeches. Our friends, the Helpncrs, discoursed occasionally their patriotic and soul-stirring martial music, ; and sang for us that old patriotic and noble song, called "the Red, White and Blue," after which we adjourned with three rousing cheers for Douglas and Johnson. Yours, Knox. Douglas at Troy. Judge Douglas arrived at Troy, N. Y., on the evening of July 25th, and was received at thc depot by an immense concourse of citizens, one or two military companies, and a company of Little Giants from Albany. The procession marched to thc Troy House, where Mr. Douglas was welcomed by the Mayor. In reply, Mr. Douglas made a political speech, defending non-inteiventiou as the true principle, and appealing for its support by all w ho are opposed to abolitionism and disunionism. He spoke thirty-five minutes. The speech was listened to by about five thousand people. Thc reception is considered to have been a great success. ETA " lone widow," from the State of Missouri, recently arrived at Dcnverjikc's Teak, having traveled alone from the Missouri river to that poiut her "train" consisting of a yoke of oxen and wagon, a few hens and a quantity of provisions. She had taken care of and driven her cattle without assistance, and made thc trip without annoyance, cither from Indians or white men. By selling eggs to emigrants at $2 per dozen, she had accumulated considerable money, and from astnalj quantity of Hungarian grass seed, purchased at the river for fourteen cents, she realized $14. She was snout nny years oi age. Alter remaining a few days, she went on toward California where she once resided, and now proposes to spend her days. ILTThc nomination of Ben.
