PACKARD. August 16ih, 16G0. PUBLIC SPEAKING. The Democrats of this county are hereby notified that Col. JOHN C. WALKER, Elector, will address the Democracy at BOURBON, on MONDAY. THE 27th DAY OK AUGUST. Let there be a good turn out. Cannot our Democratic friends of that place fix out something that will add to the interest of the occasion and insure a large attendance ? Think of it. GRAND RALLY. The Democrats of Polk township are making arrangement to have a grand time at Tyner City t n the 30th of this month. They are going to raise a rousing pole. CATHcaaTand other promi ent speakers are expected to be present. Music, banners, speaking, &c, will be the order of the day. It is designed as a grand rally, and it is de sired that every Democrat in the county, or, in the District, should be present, if possible- We anticipate a big time, sure. CTThe DmocnAT is not what we desired it should be this werk. We have been short of help in our office, and have done the best we could toward getting ot the paper. Worse than all, we have been feeling the ague in our bones ' for the last few days, so that we are in a "bad condition " for writing. We have taken several duces of prt- caution in the shape of quinine, and hope to be iu " good condition " by the time of our next issue. On account of the above state of things our friend rp rtrct will have to excue us for not demoting the amount of space to him that he thinks he deserves. Lateb. We arc " shaking like the d 1." Tht Tail ad Bilt. For a long time, Mattiglt has been working for a reward. II ah'ghcst ambition a; pears to be, that when he dies the devil will "unscrew his ta 1" and present it, together with a champion belt," to him, as his the devils mof t faithful r ervant, and the " champion liar of the world." He has dealt so long in falsehoods that he is no judge of the truth docs not know it when he sees it in print, and therefore, when we fhow up the incompetency or dishonesty of bis co-workers, he thinks and says our statements are Mes," notwithstanding we give them tkeir ovenfgvre. He is growing jealous of us on account of hi delusion, and fears we will be awarded thoe ensignas which he evidently thinks is an honor the devils tail and champion belt above referred to. We hope he will not give himself sny further unea?ine9 about the matter as we are not competing with him, and we are confident that neither he nor the devil will be cheated ; the devil will get him, and he the devil's tail and belt. If he will continue to follow the dictates of his nature, he is perfectly safe, and so is the devil. Jon at Maxeskcckez. Jr.nu C Jonxs, candidate for " Representatives," although he told his opponent, Mr. Packasij, that he should not attend the meeting at Maxenkuckee on Friday last, did attend the appointment of Mr. Trwra, and there repeated the speech that it was reported a woman wrote onT for him. At least, from what we have heard of it. we are convinced that it was the same harangue he bored bis Republican friends with at Knox on (he Saturday before with a few variations. We understand that he gart us an awful raking, and came down on the Drmocrtt in hit peculiarly severe style. He said that we had misrepresented him, but failed to; show wherein ; read bis extract from Hixit Clat, tnd said we did not dare to publish iuHe Is still very much out with the Democracy ef the district for nominating Pacxaxd, and from the pitiful pica he put up at Fiazletown, be is a;ettiüg bo better very fait, since his discussion with Mr. Packard at Knox. He is having a ptj?w rim ef f sVnit nfw. Foot fellnr !

Stark County Correepondeoo. For the Democrat. Ma. Editor : I notice another piece of low, rulgar slang, against me in the last' Republican. Mattinolt says he has well niih demolished me, bot in bat way I cannot tell. I c&nntt see that he has demolished any tiling but his own chancier for truth and veracity, and that he demolishid long ago. He aaja I half-way deny being the author of the article in the Democrat signed Knox." My answer to that is simply this : it is none of his business whether I wrote it or not. Whether I wrote it or not, I am prepared to prove said com munication true. A part of it he has acknowledged te be true himself, and the rest of it this whole community know sto be true, and his article in regard to our Conveation, false. I will just say for Mattiügly'i benefit, that the charge in regard to the Clerk is entirely false, and he nor no ether man can say I bare tried to get either candidate nominated, exeept by my rote at the Convention, which was held last Saturday. He still tries to charge me with running 'or Recorder last fall. I did not se fit to notice that part of Mattinolts first attack on me, but I will now just say that Mr. Mattiscly has been misinformed his informants are falsifiers, and they know it. I was beaten last fall, in Convention, for Recorder. I was then solicited by many to run independent, which I refused to do, and I never gave my eonsent to run , but many of my friends voted for me which they had a right to do. and for which I was not to blame. He finally winds up with a desire to whisper to me. I hope he will keep a good distance while he is at it and whisper aloud, as I do not like to rmcll of an old whiskey bloat's breath. He charges me with being a ' moral and physical coward." I acknowledge that phvsically I am a small man, but I am just large enough to not fear any such a yelping specimen of the canine tribe as he is, or any of the cur whelps that evidently think it a great privilege to get to play dog with him ; and. as to moral courage, I leave that with those who are acquainted

with us both, to judge which has the most. He says hi has " the material to make a nice man " of me, and says he will do so if I give him any more provocation. This threat he makes together with other similar ones. Now, don't that scare somebody ! I have heard long eared ani mals bray before, and I don't think I shall scare much at the Republican editor. A nice man Mattixclt is to talk about decency, honesty, truth, and moral courage, when he is as destitute of either, ss a stone is ol blood. If there is any honesty about him why don't he tell who his "informants" are, when fie publishes tlanders and lies against private citizens that are entire stranger to him, especially when requested to do so ? Then I would know who to reply to. I dared him in my last communication to let me know who it was that was telling him such lies about me and other citizens of Starke county, but instead' of telling his Author, he launches out in a filthy, lying tirade of abuse against me. Talk about moral courage! He has not got moral courage enough to tell the name of a single man that he pretends to get his information frors. and the reison is obviom : he knows he has no sch informant, or else he kaows they are sode.oid of truth and morality that they could not be relieved under any circumstances. The whole secret of Mattinclt 's and hin penny cur's abuse to me, is, that I will not bow to their political God" Old Abe." That is the sum and substance of their spits. The only arguments they use is abuse and slang. They intend to coerce and drive every man to see as they see, believe as they believe: and vote as they vote. They are more intolerant to those that disagree wi;h them politically than ever Nero was against the Christians. Now, if Mattinclt still wishes to spit his vile, nauseating slang at me, he can do so, and bring ahead all his material against me in any form or shape, but I want hira to understand distinctly that I do not fear him in the least, nor his crew of informants ; however, I am gratified to know that the amount of space he occupies in his paper against me is so much space lost to his use against some honest democratic candidate. On me his vengeance is powerless. So go ahead granny Mattinclt, and let us see what kind of an abortion you will biing forth next time. W.W. CALKINS. Knox, August 13, I860. Knox, August 7th, 1S60. Mr. Editos : I noticed in the Republican of the 2d inst., apiece of slang signed "Spondoolix," and as they charge Knox " with falsehood they also charge the editor of the Republican with the same, for said editor acknowledges a part of his information he received and published in regard to the Democratic Representative Convention at Kuox tobe false. Those worthy "Spondoolixses " see fit to contradict him, and I will let them fight it out. In the first place the ' Spondoolix " family is quite extensive, numbering about fire or six, and as they have seen fit to ask eight questions I will try and answer them as near as possible in a style suited to said questions, and in rotation as they occur : I. How many years were you with the Indians studying medicine ? Answer. About as long as ' Spondoolix " No. 1 studied in an "Eclectie School" where he learned to find the " efeminal " artery in the bottom of a certain boys foot that was cut. 3. How many years did you practice medicine? Ans. Aboutas many years as "Spondoolix" No. 2 would have been Shetiff of Starke county when he run against three Democrats and got bad ly beaten. 3. If a man should follow ten different occupa tions, eigt teen years each, how old would he be. Ans. He would be about as eld as " Old Abe." I know of no person following more trades, such as boating, distilling, grocery-keeping, rail-splitting, hair-curling, etc., and about the age to give a fool an answer. 4. What is the intrinsic value of a Bull that can outrun any horse that can be brought to a public race track 7 Ans. II is worth about as much as " dat nig ger" that made "Spondoolix" run once, and as you say, knocked you down say ubout $900, or about as much as said " Spondoolix " said he re ceired, as an Attorney fee, for obtaining a divorce for one Mrs. Black, in Starke county. I presume he remembers its intrinsic value, although tuch pay is not lawful outride of matrmony. S. What effect would Toad's milk have upon a man who was in the habit of getting drunk 7 Ans. If " Spondoolix " No. 2 would try it he could tell what effect it would have. It would atop him perhaps from making a fool of himself at Democratic meetings, keep the "snakes" out of his boots, and stop him from eating his neighbors black hens in a steam mill. 6. If a would-be Doctor should give a drunken man Tead'e milk, and then deny so doing to his professor, would be be lying 7 Ans. If faid Doctor should give said " Spot; doolix " No. 2, a dose of said Toad's milk, and it should have the effect to stop him from telling falsehood and save bis family from hunger and want, and keep him from loafing about the streets in the day time and robbing hen roosts at night, he lahtnld be forever ahfnrated frnmhleote, whelh-

er bis Professor should oppose his course or not. 7. If a man should get mad and bolt from bis party because be ' too rascally unpopular to get a nomination at their bands, and should run independently, and do Lis bluest, by lying and otherwise, to defeat the regular ticket, would h still be a good Democrat ? Ana. About as good a Democrat as " Spondoolix ' No. 1 is a Republican, when, after sympathizing with " Ossawotomie Brown," when he was executed on account of his rebellion, at Harper's Ferry, and said the most shameful thing the Virginians did was to give said Brown a dose of arsenic after be was hung ; also, after voting the Democratic ticket at the last April election, and now denying ever being a Democrat or an Abolitionist, and claiming never to have been anything, but a simon pure Republican on the " Jeffersonian platform." 8. If a man should try, by joining in with land sharpers, to cheat an honest man who has as "good a wagon and as good horses as any body in Starke county," out of his farm, by false coloring and deception, would there be anything dishonest in all this ? Ans. No more dishonest than for " Spondoolix " No. 2 to walk about six raile on Sundav, to DavidVan Blaricum's, and try to make the old man pay ten dollars to clear him from a judgement that was against his son, which he well knew that he was not liable for. You alo told him that the matter was in your control, and if he did not pay the ten dollars you would take the other side and make him pay the whole judgment, costs and interest. This is but a sample of said " Spondoolixses" style of levying black mail. I believe I hive answered all the questions of the said "Spondoolixfcs." They say they have eight more questions to ask, which I hope will be forthcoming, and I will try and answer them for the benefit of the rest of the " Spondoolix " fraternity, and after having answered them I will taice the same privilege they have taken, and ask a few questions of the fraternity, which thet will also understand perfectly well as well as they will the forogoiug answers. So, pitch in gents, if you like the fun. I will acknowledge that I have never sunk so low iu the depths of infamy, nor dabbled

in the poisionous fumes of slander, as some of these Fpondoolixees" have. They can beat me in their filthy billingsgate, slang and blustering bravado, but I will try and answer these fools according to their folly. RNOX. Explanatory. J. Wilier called to see us the other day and complained that we had done him injustice in our article concerning the " accommodating Treasurer." We did not mention bis name nor the name of the firm alluded to, but as be pleads guilty in part, we are satisfied to let it be understood that his was the firm that received what we termed the accommodations, in our last issue. He says it was no accommodation to him. This he knows about. of course, and we do not. We had no intention of I doing him any personal injury, and tke article was not, as he said he understood, intended for him. We suppose that any man would have accepted what we still must think was a favor. If it had not been regarded as a fivor the arrangement would not have been made so we think. It was rontrarT to law for Dr.frsnrr tn tat cM for the pavment of tax, and according to Füller and Mattingi-v he has been trying to embezzle, or ij a defaulter, or something of the kind. It all mp, ,Ml with.i, R.nht:Mn. i,..Kn,.i. .. as thev can to on and abuse and defame the charactor of Democrats, but when their own arguments . . are used against their pets, it causes a general fluttering among them- We will have more to sy on this subject hereafter, probably. GREAT D OIK'S. GRAND REPUBLICAN RALLY!! One Grand, Complete Fizzle!!! The great "Republican Ra'ly" came off here on Tuesday last. The g re a t Republican orator was - not here was said to be sick was not half as sick as the Republicans were of their pitiful dem onstration. When the procession passed our of fice it numbered SIXTEEN, one-third of whom were boys- It was a sorry sight. Democrats, or Tnio Towssrir. We say to you that you need not be lulled into security on account of the Republican Club of your township disbanding. They understand themselves and have adopted the skulking method, instead of an open and manful advocacy of their sectional principles. Be not deceived. Do your duty and all will be well ; but if you neglect it be assured that in proportion to your neglect, your majority will be reduced. So far you have done a good work, and if you continue, you will redeem Union this fall and have the extreme gratification of sending up a largely increased majority. CTMattikclv says we think him the ugliest mortal alive." We never said so, but since he has mentioned it wc have been in a quandary as to which is the handsomest looking, he or "Old Adams,' as he is familiarly called; but, we have finally come to te conclusion that if Adams would get him a pair of shoes he would be the better lookking of the two. If Mattingly wants to sustain the reputation he appears anxious to establish for himself, letlnm present Adams with a pair of brogans, have the out-side coat of tallow c. .taken off of bis only competitor, for the belt that is to be awarded to the ugliest" man, and he will be safe BriiFADxn. J. M- Rofimsojt, the gentlemanly Mail Agent of the P. Ft. W. i C. R. R got himself ousted from that position, a few days since, en account of his Dote las proclivities. Another exemplification of imallnea. m 0m m IT In a long speech at a Douglas meeting in New Orleans the Hon. John Forsyth descubes Mr. Breckenridge as " Sired by Yancey and d d by Spavined Disunion." Sixteen papers in Louisiana now support Douglas and Johnson. The Douglas men of Georgia and Mississippi hold their State Conventions to day, the 15th A late canvass of the votes in Panola, Miss ., showed the following strength of parties: Ecll and Everett, 57; Douglas and Johnson, 27; Breckridje 13 and Lane, 0: Gen. Leslie Combs, just elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals, is nearly eighty years of age. and was a warm and intimate friend of Henry Cla; . Five of the seven congressmen elected in Missouri are Douglas men, and two of the Douglas delegates to the National Convention have been elected to the Legislautre. Twenty -eight younr men, in Iafayett. Ind., who will cast their first vote for President of the United States at the ensuing election, sign a call for tha formation of a "Li tie Giant's Club." Gen Houston has written a letter, ander date of the 31st of July, in which ke denies having withdrawn his name aa a candidate, but wishes the electoral vote of Texas to be' cast, without reference to himself, "for any national nan. most likely r defeat wither frttonl;m or d:r"ini"n,"

The Recent Elections. We take the following from the Jt. Wayne Daily Sentinal, the Democratic Daily organ started there recently. Missouri has covered herself with glory, and given such a rebuke to the secessionists in her sister Southern Stales, as we hope may prove beueßcial. C. F. Jackson, a warm Douglas man, i elected Governor, and the entire Douglas State Ticket has been triumphantly elected over all the oppositions. The Legislature is Democratic, and fire out of seven Congreosmen are also Democrats. In St. Louis, Barrett, Democrat, who was unjustly deprived of his sea. by the Republicans iu the Ute Congress, has been triumphantly re-elected, beating Blair, his opponent, 146 votes. The whole Breckinridge vote in the State

falls short of five thousand! What a re buke thia contemptible vote will be to Breckinridge and his followers. Kentucky. Later accounts confirm the utter overthrow of the Breckenridge faction in Kentucky. In thirty-five counties Combs' majority over his Breckenridge competitor is upwards of 13,000! Kentucky has shown a noble example in thus repudiating one of her owh favorite sons, because he, in an evil moment, listened to the tempter, and allowed himself to become the tool of conspirators against the Union, and bitter parüzans who did not 6cruple to seek the oVstiuciion of the democratic party, if by so doing they could overthrow the man they hated an 1 feared, ! whose brilliant talents and enlightened I statesmanship so far threw their pigmy attainments into the shade. ! An Earthquake. A very senMble shock was felt in different hi cs of Ke ntucky, Indiana and Ohio, on Tuesday lat. The Russe! vtllrt (Ky.) Heruld bays liuti the quake lasted some minutes, and was accompanied by a house rumbling sound, which resembled distant thunder: A letter fr m Evamvi'.le to the Cincinnati Gazette says: Yre were visited this morning at 9:22 a. m., by an earthquake, which continued about fifteen seconds, though there were wide differences as legarda the duration of the shock. It was accompanied by a sound similar fo that made by a heavy laden train of cars running slowly through a depot. Doors and windows rallied, and houses jarred as if agitated by tho moving of heavy goods on the same door. In one hardware store on Main street, the shock was so severe as to throw over a Iü Til circular saw standing against the will at an angle of 25 degrees The bhocks was still more severe in the coal mines, about one mile west of the city, on the banks of .he Ohio liver. The employers &av it continued fully five minute". The workmen were v.ry much fiightened more "O lllRU llUlt. there not beui'' a ' ! p t ...i. j: i. ..i i ,umF ul coai or uniuiuu. j At Henderson. Kj ., the shock wa even j more 8eme ,,ot ff 8(t' ,0nir du,a; tion. The people left their houses and ! into the streets, though no damage was done. I am under the impression that the shock was heavier further bouih. the waves seemed to come from the southwest. Up to the time of the shock the heat was very oppressive not a breath of air stirring. Since that time the wind has gradually increased, and the thermometer is sinking fast. Now, (9:30 p. m.,) the themometer stands at 6:32. At 9 o'clock this morning it stood at 9:12 in the shade. The sky is not clear; neither is it cloudy. : There an pears to be a sort of mist that makes the start appear dim. The breez . a a , js Btjj increasing. I understand the aurora borealia was visible at 2 o'clock this mcrn ing. Terrible Tornado. About four o'clock on Tuesday, 7th inst., a most disastrous hurricane swept through the towns of Walworth, Walldon and Sodus, in Wayne county, doing ttightful damage to everythinir'in its war. Houses were unroofud. barns demolished, trees torn up by the roots, completely devastating a large sec tion of the country. Ita path was over two miles wide, and was v nearly a straight line from Walworth to about the centre of the town of Sdus, when it suddently turn ed towards Lake Ontario, where it prob ablv struck not far from Sodus Point Our informant came from Sodus village yesterday, and tells us that the Souih part of that town presents the most tngi.tiui spsctable he ever witnessed. Ex ensive tracts of woodland were leveieu wtwi me ground, and large orchards completely uprooted. Scarcely a rod of fetn:j h left standing throughout the whole district over which the whulwind passed. In some cases fence rails were cat lied more than thirty rods by the terrifice fon;e of the wind. Trees'more than two feet in diameter were twisted into splinters. We have not yet heard of any lives being destroyed, hut it will be a marvel if there be none. The trees are fallen in 11 directions, howinglhat it was a whirlwind and not a gale It was accompanied by a tremendous storm of hail and rain. We are not informed how far west it extended certainly fifteen or twenty miles. Our correspondent at Newark, who sends us this account, promises us further particulars. Syracus (X. Y. ) Jovrnal. The Washington State nd Union is permitted to make the following extract from a piivate letter from Hon. John Y. Brown, member of Congress from the fifth distiict of Kentucky, to a Iriend in Washington! J am for Douglas, 1 regard mm as the , . .... nominee of the ra-v ana nÄY,nff D;en mysell supported in my race, ior ungres Ly the Democratic party. 1 ran nor. consi ... fntly, turn my back on the candidate put forth at Baltimore. Ther are not twenty voes in this county for Breckinridge. Douglas will carry tli (the 5th) district by a very large majority. X37"A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal wriiing to that paper from Hunt ington Tennessee, says! The BieekinndL'e men are uaint? every mm i . i iu....2. . etlort to fleltat him ners, um u is no go;. the Little Gaint is bound to win. He will get a good pany votes from the opposition ranks." Z3THon. W. Crump, of Virginia, Minister to Chili under President Tyler, supports Mr. Pougla.

The Republican press are very much troubled at many occasions which the people are giving to Judge Douglas to add reus them. They think that he is lowering the dignities of the office for which he is running, by opening his mouth until the cam paifin ia over. They hold up the example of Lincoln as one eminently fit to be followed. The Quincy lerafd tells the reason why Lincoln has had sc little to say: If Lincoln hasn't made any speeches since he became a candidate for President,

it's because his friends were afaid to let! him expose himself. They got him out last Wednesday, at Springfield, and he made a miserable failuie he attempted to make a speech, and literally fizzled out. n: f.: i ...i i e .1.. ins vwn menus ore amiamcii 01 me auor lion that came trom him in the tiam of a I speech. 1 he mend- of J udge Dougla are not thus humiliated. Thy know him to be a slateman of commanding intellect, and of broad, conservative, national principles, and they know there's no sort of danger of his making an ass of himself, as Lincoln would if lie were turned loose a few days. A Heartless Wretch. The Cincinnati Enquix er of the 11th instant says. Last Monday, there arrived in this city on the steamei Lebanon a man and woman who represented themselves to be husband and wife. On the arival of the boat, the couple started up town the husband directing that their baggage should be sent to the Souihgate House. When the twain reached the intersection of Walnut and Second streets, the liii?bind cvi eluJed thai they had better put up at- the Walnut street House, and leaving his wife on the corner, Si t.uriied back to the boat, tocoun lerm wid the order about his baifafre, bu baggage, bupoor woman hegiee iecled '.o teturn. I , waited for a ltir tme,aud then, bursting into tears, told her story to a merchant in the viuiniiy, who conducted he to the Henrie House, and at once advised her fiiens of her desertion. She tsava thev had been married two weeks, and wer on their way to vuit some fr'snd in Kentucky Before leaving his newly made br de, the rascal obtained possession ot her cold watch and 8140 of her mouev. all she possessed. We purposely mppress names. How Aladami Stand. Col Clemen-, late editor of ihe Memphis Enqurtr iu a letter to the paper, says of the prospect m Alabama, where he is now suiyiiiy: Placing no great reliance upon the reports I hear dally from other parts of the State. and j-idging only from the feeling mani fested in this stronghole of democracy, I tell vou with entire contidence that you e may set down Alabama as lost to Breckenridge. He could not carry the State today, and will grow weaker from this lime untiil November. The only thing whicli ever gave the Secession Party any strength in Alabama Mas its assumption of the name of Democracy and H-hen that tot n away they will dwindle into a faction too fonlemtible to excite the fears, or diatuib the peace of the country." The Mi. Li v. Tribune cannot stop to court the Uieckinridge papers in the State, but numbers Hi'xteen Douglas journal already. It pule it down as certain that Mr. Breckenridge cannot carry the State. jTlt is to be noticed hat at the South the organs of Breckinridge and Lane clearly indicate their desire for a diso!uiior, of i he Union. The Camdin (Alabama) Register says: "We run up our flag to-day for Breckinridge and L-tne, the Democratic nominees for Pre&ideni and Vice President of the United States. We have unwaveiiogly concluded for the last ten years that i. would be better for all concerned to make two or more distinct governments of the territory comprising the United States ol America, and that such will ultimately be done, there can be no sort of doubi; but it should be dene with fairness and juo'.ice to every section of the Union; and believing that the party to which we belong is the only one to carry out this measure and secure all her rights, we intend to battle for its ptinciples to the fülltest extent of our ability. No Retreat. Among the prisoners taken captive at the battle ofWaterloo.ihtie was a Highland Piper. Napoleon struck with his limWs, asked him to play on his itiKtrument, which is said tosuud delightfully iu the glens and mountains ol Scotland.

There is no retten with them, nor even parleying with the enemy. Haiirisburg. 15. The Douglas State committee mot this afternoon and sal with closed doors, li is ascertained, however, that it is their determination to nominate a clean Douglas electoiial ticket. The electors on the Heading convention tick t who pledge themselves for Douglas, will be retained. The other districts will be filled with Dsuglas men. The committee meet again this evening. Thu Selma Advettiser, in answer to the question," lluw will Alabama go?" saj6: Why, there no more dmbi about Alabama going for Douglas and Johnson, than there is of the election taking place. In 185G there were 75.291 votes cast for President 4G.739 fot Buchanan and 28,552 for Fillmore. Aa the indications are now, Douglas will receive 36.000, and Breckinridge about 17.000.
