The democrats have issued their cal! for a state convention, to uonyinete a state ticket. The date is April 2G. Jasper county demociais are entitled to live delegates., The state oftieers to he elected- 1 in Indiana, this year, are Governor, Lieutenant Governor, three j .Judges of the Supreme Court, Secretary of State, Auditor, and Superiutendaut of I'ubiic Institution. Wo look upon the liquor tradio ; as an evil without one mitigating feature, and one which should • be warred against until it is civilized off the face of the earth. Holding such views we are unalterably opposed to runhack ward steps in this matter upon the part of the Republicans of Indiana. The advanced position taken by the party two years ago should be fully maintained and if even a higher and stronger- position is taken the greater will be our satisfaction. The article on the subject of presidential caudidutes - publlslied in this issue, over the initials, ‘V. Rd’ is from the man, of all others in this county, who is entitled to lacalled one of the lathers of the Republican party. He took a j rominent part in its organization and has been a firm adherent lo its principles, at all Times, The years of his life already number more than four scare. These" facts entitle him to a respectful hearing by Republicans whenever he chooses to address them. As to the sentiments contained in the article we must say that —tteydo not ail"have our fu 11 endorsement. What he says in praise of the abilities, character and great ” public services of General Hnrrison has our fullest approbation, but the reflections expressed and implied against Jhcltre Ore sham and those who choose te-favor him for the nomination, we can not agree with. We are confident thrd the feeling lAff&vor of Gen. Harrison amor.Wlie Republicans of Indiana, is not nearly so unanimous as our correspondent thinks it is, nor are the Republican papers of the state at all unanimous in his support Neither are wc willing to agree with the opinion that there is anything deserating of censure in J udgo Gresnam s attitude at this time, nor anything that should cause his political integrity to be doubted. 'Turtlmrmore we can not see why his friends should be denied the light to press his claims for the nomination any more thnn the fi ierds of General Harrison should be denied tiiat right

In the communication headed “Chrisrtian Union Again” the author has, in a pardonable excess of zeal, indulged in certain reflections which, as we believe, are unjust to this town, and calculated to give: outside people an entirely wrong impression regarding the morallity and religousness of our people. Without specifying in detail the reflections to which we take exception, we shall simply content ourselves by making a few counter assertions, which will subistantialiy cover the points in our correspondent's article in which we think injustice has been done to our town. In the first place, while we admit the ancient and dilapidated character of most of our church buildings, we deny, most emphatically, that this is a b>wus, a 'ViiM'.Hts.’d " town. W e j will venture tfe- 1 ass< rtioii tlmt not j one county seat in a uoZ'-n in the state, of Indiana, lias nimlc greater proportionate prdgrct's during the : j ~“H ten years than has. lleiisselaer. If it is religous matters that is meant in the assertion that our town is dead, we can say • that ©mi correspondent lias m ;v tle too hasty -a-c‘in-ln-.-ii-n in that respe<'b iiis true tii.lt, owing to various c tusos, in- of our church orgniiizatiaps still worship in old buildings, y t we.caii truthfiiHrussort Unit eiuthvg the S'-vcii years in which We have knowp this community the religious spl it has made nmrv-hhrtis progress'. Kvcry religous denrrmination represented in the town/ ■with perhapssingle n, -has been gre .tly increa-ml in numberS, ami, we believe in. zeal, dnring that thru ; and We believe, tllai four times as much money was contributed to' religious' purport's iiy the people i / Rensselaer in the year ISS7 as in the year ISBL A niore pencalde, decorous and law-abiding and 'moral tow n than ours, gs its size, we do not know it, .*• i.y»*hei<•. The poor~ iud. cd, we luivc vvith us always, but tin amount yvf pnupWrietn lieie is not disproportionately large, a.s yom-p-u'i d.with other jdaces. Aloreow r tt is ouiythtr prruperigm • 'thut iscaused by vie l ? and evil Irabits that is any real reproach to a community, and of that, kind of pauperism, there is almost none in the town. Moreover, whatever re])i*oach tlie pauperism of this town .is to its people, it is mere th/iuuiiset by the noble spirii of charity towards the poor and aftiic.tcd that here prevails. The “liquor. traiilc’’ ; is-deplorably- large. b;;t it is not i large as coinpared will l most other towns; pubiic drunkenness is a rare thing ami, above all, in this town tile Honor triiffie is under the ban of public 1 opinion, and were the Taws of tkosorte 1 such as wo'uid give to the inajoiity I -of our voters the right, which I ought to ba theirs, of deciding 1 whether tlie liquor bnsinc ss should-! be alhiwe,! to exist in lids town,; we beiie-vft cision would be against it.

AY, axo in.; a Head: .poHrienl cklut: —$$Tft what surprises an' 1 is that so niar.y, in such e number*; should, ex ;;tbs stJIIi: a preference for trill; Gresham. If & is.an able 1 man, a general, a gentleman, ami a wounded soldier: 1 have always understood him to be a republican. But now there is something strange in the way the wind blows While all, or nearly all, the Republican papers of the state, are urging the nomination of General Harrison as the choice of minetenths of the Republicans of the state, we are met by the State Sen-; tinel, the Chicago Tribune and some other Democratic papers urging ns strongly t! e nomination of Judge Gresham. Why are these papers urging him? That is plain. They are opposed to Gen. Harrisou’s nomination. Now if Gen. Gresham is a Republican, can he allow himself to be used to

. ' . A -f----defeat Harrison and a great majority of tlie peopie of the state? Not if he is a true Republican. . If he is, lie will stop this blowing and say he cannot be used 1 by his enemies to distract the liopuhlican party and thus bloat his own reputation. Nor can he be persuaded to do so, by his indiscreet friends. Gen. Harrison- Ims been before the peopled tlie state prominently for a whole term of six years, where he has stood the peer ©f any man there, as tin*, orator and a statesman. After the legislature of Indi*iua had gerrymandered the state two 'years ago, go that if scented tlmce was .no hope- of possibly overcoming it, Gen. Harrison took th ■ stump and astonished everybody, by an overwhelming vicb >ry. He w;ia defeated last year by the must infamous” proceedings in the legtsluluro iu ousting same members who.wer' legally elected and thTTTrtrrrrTTg to turn out otdremnTtt taking in r.s many who were hot leg-all v elected, While thus Gen. Harrison has bet n long and prominently before the* people, *Gon. Gresham has been suddenly forced into promi-'iK-nca to defeat, him and di'Atract tlm party. Some one has said there is a tide in every ones’ life, which, if seized properly, will lead to success, honor and fame. I’rora tlie way Judge Gresham has been presented, this is not likely his tidal wave; —1 1 -, 1 ]i-.d —better stick to lifs j udicial bench,' where his decisions have be,>n gem rally apim'ved. This is the first time my rait-h in him has been as a Ti’fisTeif Ivepublicani Tliave leTt "a little, curious-lately to see the efforts of leading democrats to save elFCttou defrauders from punisliment. Ai'c-r tl.eir conviction the ; M-'im-vs and leading democrats denounced Judge 'W oodsin-every v»ny ami tried for a new hearing. Railing, to move the Judge, they appealed to Judge Harlan. After hearing the attorneys, Judge liarinn looked all over the proceedings and pronounced them admirable. When they appealed to him, I feared there was something in him we did licit know of. Hut he came out gloriously. T’liat was not still satisfactory. They must liave-an-other chance to save their churns. So they went to Judge Gresham. I trembled v.itlv fear. Tie had iTdd'Torrrt "in In di; (n it; >oi is”ti.nd I supposed knew the men. But my fears were vain and the Judge maifrtaiiicd Ids honor. Again I [ear for liiin.

How It Strikes Him.

The somewhat breezy, sarcastic views of .Hon. \V. D. Owen oasorno features of the Administration bill in reduce internal revenue taxation are given in a special to. ■*the hullonapubs Journal, as follows. Sr.ii} Mr. Owen: ‘Tt is a picturesque scheme. After relieving tot.Hr> of O' 4U )t M cl ? * ’it- icxes, aud vepealing the special taxes upon manufactures or stills and ivruil dealers in liquors, it proceeds to -erect tt.slaluto.with meshes in it large enough for tlie little moonshiners i f Virginia, the Carolines nhtl Temu’.-see tq slip thro ugh and never get caught. These states nre oilurnrented with ‘illicit strlls, with a capacity of one to three barrels per day. This is great and .profitable -business down there tHat ims snftere4qip~.to ibis TimeTor lack of protection. Most crifiiinul statutes, you know, have .a •minimum and maximum penalty, the later only being adjudged in in extreme cases. The law repeals the minimum penalty , and leaves -the c am't~~l;surell cn"To~~aii’ix the pemdty. In tlie midst of a universe.) sentiment that regards defiance nf" t>' & gnv.nr-aine.nt iiTrumTlvvenue laws as devotion to the .^TmdhiS-ic-w discharges the~vast atrffjority of the oflenders with possibly .a xeur imaud from The court,. The. sixth-section provides ffiat rm warrant; in any case, shall issue far arrest except when made by the revenue collectoi, sTio.-e presence" there is Usually a risk <}f life, unless the affiant has personal knowledge of the crimes alleged. The possession of distilling materials, line, the possession of a kit of burglar tools, the carrying of quantities of raw material to the secret and guarded place, and the carrying away of barrels of liquors, signifies nothing To inaugurate an investigation, the prosecutor must, have personal knowledge of the manufacture. Section thirteen provides that when one of these stills is seized it shall not be destroyed, as heretofore but shall be sold, The poor fellow: having escaped the. minimum, punishment, can come back and resume his occupation. It appears that after all these precautions, it is fearecTti at some of these meipat some time may be arrested and convicted, and another section is added giving the V' l *

court authority, when anyone imprisoned for such offense in any jail has his health thereby endangered, to make whatever, provisions for his comfort he,shall deegi prbper. I don’t think so Denencent and salutary a law was ever before proposed for tlie down trodden race. The measure should be entitled: -‘A Hill to Protect the Moowshiner and Promote ids Industry.' ” ;,

“Youngster" comes Back at the Sentinel.

Editor IlErcßLicAN.—The, genius ( V) who presides over the columns, of the Democratic Sentinel says in the last issue of his paper, “If Yoitngsfer will attend the polls in Hanging Grove, lie wilt ascertain where John Lefler votes.” Old Stupidity, who will be -there to inform me? By the above lie thinks-his readers will think my statement in The llepublican of lasTwT-i’lrtvTiA in/t 'true. A- i4lfF number of the most iiitelligent of his readers-take liie Beitelican in orde r to obtain the local news. It is vc iy - well understood- that O. S. is v. ry Saving of the truth, and in politics lie cannot be believed if his party or any of his friends are liable to sutler by having'the.trufh spoke n C' -noerning them. His insinuation that SenatoiTngails, of Kansas, is a sot, is.one of his kind. Dog-leg tobacco and Line Piftkston are the sweetest m nrsel s that r. -ll over his tongue. Poor man, he will never know any better. lie is joined to his idols. , ■ — - -A : ¥oi-jtcasTEU. —
