COXitREfcsio L ( OU i:tiox The democracy of the 11th congressional district will meet in conventiou at Wanatah, July 15th, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for congress. BIOGRAPHICAL. Jap. Packard, the Jacobin candidate for congress in this district, is so little known in this vicinity that we deem it a duty we owe our readers to try and present them an outiiue biographical sketch of him: There is exceedingly little of him, therefore we cannot present much of a sketch; the subject is aa uncommonly stupid one, and we apologize in advance. The subject was brought to light some place hereabouts, it is said ; although from his characteristics one would say he must have been born and reared in Peduuck, Vermont, surrounded by Yankees of the meanest type, llecciving a fair education, he was presumed by his partial friends to be equal to the legal profes.-i n, but after starving at that for several years the war fortunately opened a field in which he could at least live by an exercise of proper caution and at the same time furnished him an opportunity of gratifying his malignant hale of the south and southoru IMtilnlioBl Wc have no record of his " achievements " in the army. We believe his most intimate friends aro equally unfortunate. But the fact that lie had been in the army, served Iiis turn; and by circulating it widely, and by mo.nt unblushing fr.ud, on his return home, he procured the nomination to some county office in LaPorte, on the radical ticket, and was, consequently, elected. Personally fee is as pompous and conceited an ass as ever brayed. With less real worth and ability thau the averago of mankind, he has more assurance and egotism than wc ever before saw combined, lie is truly a brainless brawler, who wearies even the craziest Jacobins with his incessant clajior of "traitor," "rebel." "the loval heart," " brave boys," (of which he is one) " glorious principles," an so on eternally. Without an idea in his head, he will exhaust the most patient with repeating his rounde 1 eenseless phrases. Politically he is a thorough Jacobin, a regular Puritan, who who would tolerate no ideas but his own, were he all-powerful. A religious fanatic ; a temperance fanatic ; a zealous advocate heretofore iu private life, of negro suffrage and the perfect equality of the racca ; he is a fit representative of the party of M God and humanity." A man eutertaining more damnable doctrines, and ideas so thoroughly in conflict with the

western sentiment, wc opine, was r cvor before a candidate for the votes of western men. Socially, vre don't know the man and don't want to. A transaction in which he was an active party several years ago, and by means of which many heart aches and much misery was occasioned; which transaction related to a then prominent ; citizen of our place, prejudiced us so thoroughly against the now congressional! candidatc that we have never had a desire to know him personally. We have no apprehension as to tho result of his congressional aspirations! Blind as political prejudices make men, we cannot think the intelligent voters of this distiict desire to'be represented by Jap. Packard, a man without brains and without integrity. THE BE Ell GARDEN. The pious " loyalists " in thisf vicinity are becoming considerably exercised over the fact that a beer garden has been established near our town, and that quite a respectable class of our citizens tako th? liberty of visiting it whon they feel disposed to, without consulting with them ai to the morality of the act. " !tow sec here friend, mark the point," it is a very fair average plan for every man to attend to his own business in his own way ; and for every other man to go and do likewise. Some " peoples " there be who prefer tho sweot harmony of music to the discordant notes of hate and intolerance, on any day of the week and on all occasions. Sueh a9 do so very sensibly so Jo, in our private opinion.

AMNESTY. On the first page of this paper will be found the president's proclamation of general amnesty. Wo invite the attention of our readers to this document as one of the most important events of the day. It is an act ot simple justice and right, but one requiring great firmness in the president to issue. The Jacobins in congress thirsting for revenge and an extension of their power, have by unconstitutional laws attempted to disfranchise, plunder and debaso the people of the south for a generation at least, and so effectively have their acts been obeyed by their willing military tools, that the whole southern people have been bound down to servitude unequalled in the annals of history. President Johnson has virtually stricken off their shackles. While Abraham Lincoln is canonized by the Jacobins for emancipating four million negro slaves, President Johnson is cursed beyond degree for freeing from worse bondage eight million of whites. It will require some time for the people of the south to reap the full benefit of the amnesty granted them, but they can now see a gleam of light, and feel once more that they are freemen.

GOOD FIX. The following item we clip from the N. Y. Times (radical) of July 1st: There was something rather too serious for congressional "laughter" iu the remarks of Messrs. Washburne and Garfield yesterday, when the former moved an adjournment on the 15th of July. Mr. Washburne said he desired an adjournment at the earliest possible moment, for if they went at the rate they were going, the government would have neither money nor credit left. Laughter. Mr. Garfield remarked that the government had lost its credit yesterday when the vote for taxing the interest on United States bonds, had lost its money to-day by the passage of the river and harbor bill. Laughter. In course of time members of congress will probably get over laughing at the prostration of the country's interest and credit. It seems an allusion to the immense sums of money recently appropriated by congress for tho purpose of improving rivers and harbors, even though made by a Jacobin, in all seriousness, is thought to be merely a subject for laughter and derision. When thieving appropriations becomo so palpable and outrageous as to force a protest from a Jacobin, even, ho merely gets Uxughcd at for his scruples. The radical Timet well says to its friends, "that in course of time members of congress will got over laughing at the prostration of the country's iutcrest and credit." We do not expect the members of the present congresä will "get over kughing" when rebuked for their knavery and thieving, until tho people rebuke them and bury them so deep in infamous obscurity that their laughing can no longer be heard. So long as they can fatten on the vitals of the laud, vo long will they laugh at the calamities of the nation. Bat when the people become aroused, and hurl their unfaithful servants from power, then will their laughter be turned to "weeping and gnashing of teeth." Millions of dollars voted away to improve rivers and harbors, for the real purpose of buying up congressional districts, must be accounted for to the people, whose money is paid to further these iulamous schemes. While the land groans with over-taxation, and is almost prostrated with the public debt piled mountain high, forsooth, money must bo given free as water to make a harbor here, a bridge there, an arsenal elsewhere, and a canal where some villaiuous lobbyist may direct, or for a river improvement some speculative congressman may have an iuterest in. Iniquity must be piled upon injustice until the last dollar is wrung from the toiler's wearied fingers, and then the " laugh comes in." When congressional knavery is carried on with sohiirhand fearless a hand that even zealous radical congressmen and journalists are constrained to raise a cry of warning and rebuke publicly, then may the rcoplo well inquire if "this thing has not gone on about long enough." BEWARE OF BRIBES, In behalf of the Jicobin lambs hcreabouts we wish to warn those who are not perfectly conscious of their own integrity and "loilty" to beware of being bribed by some wicked copperhead ; and to all such the further advice that il they find their flesh too weak to resist the blandishments of the aforesaid copperheads, to be fry careful and uot sell too eh en p. Wcsce by the last Repahlicmn that some democrat has been offering some suscej tible "patriot" merely tho little office of representative from Marshall and St Joe. Now this is too Email. There is no mouoy in that office. Whilo it is true that the democracy have the office entirely at their disposal, a man ought not to sacrifice himself for less than a supervisor's place, and wo would advise the gentleman a'luded to, not to desort Schuyler and l lytscs until he can sec a tritlo "better thin SOME of the radicals hereabout profeas to believo that the demoeratic majority in Marshall county at tho coming election will be less than five hundred. To any such as it may interest we desire to pay all in strict confidence, you know we did hear a man say, a few days ago, that he'd bet a right smart they were mistaken in the figures.

The prophecies of the radical leaders,

iboth great and small, that the national convention would fail to adopt what is gen erally kuown as the greenback platform, appear to have approximated about as near the truth as radical prophecies generally do. From the assembling of the convention until the present writing, every proposition brought before the convention, looking to a uniform currency for the whole country (bondholder's not excepted), was received with the most positive marks of approbation. A man who will, at this time, argue in favor of paying bondholders in gold, and all other creditors in greenbacks, is no more a democrat than the veriest radical in the country. Sueh a man is fit only to bo a member of the party which gives the ballot to ignorant negroes, and excludes it from intelligent white men, for whom the government was made. The democracy have undertaken to right some of the gigantic wrongs with which the people have been oppressed by the abolition party, and to prevent the consummation of tho outrages on liberty and justice which that party now contemplate, and, by the aid of the taxridden, outraged and insulted victims of the reigning military dynasty, will accomplish what they have undertaken. Such a revolution in the feelings and purposes of the people, relative to the Usurpations, injustice and high-handed tyranny which have been the distinguishing features of black republican rule, has never before occurred in the political history of the country. It is with fear and trembling that the doers of iniquity view the gathering storm of public indignation, which shall sweep them from the places they have disgraced, and from the presence of a people they have so foully wronged. This is no time for ancient croakers, greedy bondholder., or aristocratic apologists. The democracy present live issues and live men, and arc alive to the great responsibility which attaches to their or. ganization as being the champion of the constitution, end the rights of citizens and states which have been held sacred under democratic rule. All panipcred government pets, all women-han2crs, spoon thieves and nigger-worhippcrs, all who uphold the infamy of elevating negroes to the control of sovreign states in order to perpetuate their own usurped power, must stand aside for the advancing and steadily increasing column of those who have resolved that this government, being good in name, shall be good in deed. So mote it be. T BE CA XX OX. Several tax-payers of our county have inquired of us recently who owns the cannon now located iu Plymouth ? Wo have heard it intimated that it belongs to the government, but think that this cannot be thus, for if it were the gun should not be here, in the first place, and if here, one citizen would have the same claim to it that another has. Can our neighbor over the way givo us a little light on this subject ? Ts T 11 khk a disciple of Hiram Losses, anywhere in Christendom, who can toll us on what principleof right, justice to the taxpayer, or economy in the public expenditures, the government pays annually twenty millions to tho National banks for furnishing a circuiating medium for the country, when the government can just as well furnish the circulating medium without the aid of the banks, and thus save the twenty millions annually? We pause for a reply. It is said that all is now serene on tho 'of-omac. THE PLATFORM. The following is the platform adopted by the national democratic convention. It is eminently sound and will be cordially endorsed by every democrat and all other sensible men. Up to time of going to press no choice has been made, and there are no psoitivc indications as to who will be the nominee. Tho democratic party, in national convention assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discriminating justice of the people, stands upon be constitution as the foundation and limitation of tliOj'powcr of tho government, and the guarantee of the liberty of the citizen ; and recognizing the questions of slavery and secession as having been settled for all time to come by the war, or the voluntary action of the southern states iu constitutional conventions assembled, and never to be renewed or rcagitatcd, do, with the return of peace domaud : 1. The immediate restoration (fall the states to their rights in the union under the constitution of civil government, aud the American people. 2. Amnesty for all past political offences, and the regulation of tho elective fraaehisa in the states by the citizens. 3. The payment of the public debt of the Halted States as rapidly as practicable, all money drawn from tho people by taxation, except so much as is requisite for tho necessities of tho government, economically administered, being honestly applied to such payment and, when the obligations of the government do not expressly state upon their face, orthe law under which they ware isst'ed does not provide, that they shall be paid in coin, thoy ought in right and justice, bo paid in tho lawful money of the United States.

Mr. "M." endeavors to shield Guvnt from military orders against the Jews, and Colfax's know -notliingism, ly saying that the argumentations are of too personal a character ; but notwithstanding the personal manne- in which the question is agitated he (hints that if there is no other motive than m SAX istkhkst that in the light of intelligent and comprehensive reason the agitation against them is SIX rowr.itvn,. He is glad that we have a declaration of Independence, and that it emanated from men who had great mora' ideas and who wcru abstract in their reflections, without this class of thinkers there would nevur have been any progress in the world, and that these minds arc the radicals of all times. Wc cannot well see how these minds could have been the radicals of all times, because their age was but a unit In comparison to am, TM SS, and no such radicalism could have existed for a moment without them Hence there must have been n time when radicals, in the political sense, were unknown. But b t us see how near the moral ideas propounded by the framers of the Pec' tarution of Independence concord with those of our radical writer. In that sacred document they say of the king of Great Britain that " He has refused bis assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good." So iiavk the BABIOAXB. "He has refused to pass other laws for tho accommodation of a large distiict of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation la the legislature a right Inestimable to them and formidable to to tyrants only." bo have the radicals. "He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states, by obstructing the laws for naturalization." So have QaAnir and CoiAx. "He has obstructed the administration of Justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers." So have the radicals. " He has erected multitudes of offices and sent swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out our substance vo ha?e the radicals.

How in the name of common sense can a man possessing ordinary intelligence advocate modcrn-dav rail trail mm Ann rvronw the D, -duration of Independence? The same Chargci that its framers made in the name of the United Colonies (afterwards the United States) against the tyrant of Great Britain, are as applicable to our latter-day radicals in their treatment of the southern people as it they had been expressly prepared for the 00 casion. How strange it is that we nnd a man in our midst advocating a theory in direct opposition to the Cramers of our republic;! hut this is not all, he has the audacily to think that if it had not been for such minds as his, the Declaration of Independence, with all its immortal principles, would never have been made- No wonder be says that the scope of the radical mind is boundless. j Every individual interested in the welfare of this government has long been looking for the limit of this great expansion of radical minds, it was easy for them to keep pace with its gigantic strides so long as the constitution and Declaration of rights were respected by them (the radicals), but since they no longer regard those as essentials, wc think nothing too loquacious tor their incipient minds. They have lost sight of that legists, tivc power which confers the greatest good on the greatest number, and concentrated their expansive minds to a work by which they canappease their selfish motives. The radical writer says the conservative man measures everything by the measure in which his own individual interest is involved, and while his own judgment is within a limited sphere that of the radicals is boundless. At conservative is one who is desirous of maintaining cxisiting institutions. The radical is opposed to him and therefore in favor of destruction.

Other Ctics, less favored, have recognized seasons of heat and cold ; they possess the sameness or rather a systematic progression of temperatures by which they are condemned as slaves to their particular latitudes. Chicago, however, has no such responsibilities. She gravitates, from day to day, from torrid to frigid, giving US the most charmingly rapid succession of all the degrees from furnace heat to ice-house cold, in variety enough to suit the most widely diversified habits and tastes. The Fourth of July, for instance, Waf the hottest day we have had fr fourteen years. In the shade the mercury stood at lO.'l, and fcr a short time in the afternoon, 104. The nest day, there was a strong breeze?, end and refreshing, and whereas on the day preceding, linen, ice-water and fans were unavailing, a few hours had made black suits rjuite comfortable. The thermometer did not 'indeed indicate above 80. To-day again, the sun glares with fiercest heat, the wind is dead and all human energy is weakened. In such weather, or.ly very urgent reasons shall induce me to write much, so, ;s there do uot appear very strong causes for exertion, to-day's letter shall be juite limited. The Fourth here, was decidedly dull. Most of the places of business anil all public offices were closed, but there was not any public celebration and the day was too hot for moderate enthusiasm. A great many people were foolish enough to go out to Brighton and Haas' park, to Witness and partake of tho various diversions there, and some even went so far as to sit out in the sunshine in an open meadow, viewing a match game of base ball between the Excelsiors and Forest City club, the former ol this city, and the latter of Rook ford. Of course, by the way, the Fxcclsiors got beaten again. They slwayi do get beaten now. No other club even of "mufiius" need fear to play wilh them, or hope to get tho Peeatonica horn from them. Hut reverting to the amusemeats of the day many persons were, drunk ; there were numbers of fights, a fair sprinkling of accidents, several sunstrokes, aud one murder. Of those who went out of town, there were a few who had the ''gall" to say they enjoyed themselves many more did not. In fact so intense was the boat everything but fireworks resulted in a fiasco. A funny specimen of Chicago lifo came up in a J ust ice's office here a few days ago. A pretty girl of eighteen summers, had Louia Zipp, sixty years old, arrested, first for breach of promise, second for rape, third for procuring an abortion upon her.

There are many I cxwa hzi b. oJ tQ this decided change in this paper. The prime cause is the total failure of the party to do a single thing toward the reconstruction of tho country. The leaders appear to us not to care a continental what happens to a state if she don't cast a republican vote. The government supports niggers iu idle-uo-because they vote the republican ticket j and starve white men because th.cy do not. This, white men can uot allow. They will not allow it. The leaders of the republican party arc political hacks, renegades from the democratic ranks, men whose characters are spoiled, and who care no more for the welfare pf the country than they do for the Cannibal islands. They arc notorious thieves, and leave no stone unturned to accumulate greenbacks, regardlesa of the interests of the people whom they misrepresent. Wetssaa not live iu the house with such neighbors, hence we retire. Iu our retirement, we shall doubtless have something to say hereafter that will aol suit these political thieves, and what we say will be plain and to the point. The nomination of General Grant for president by the hen convention has sickened thousands of republicans throughout the land. They look upoG the nomination as an acknowledgement of the fact that the party dare not nominate its best man, for fear of iffnomiciotts defeat; which ' they will sustain next November assure as that time crones. They want to ride inU' power ou the general's military reputation not ciring whether be knows anything or "ot. Whoever is nominated by the democrats on the 4th of July will receive the support of the Representative.
