The Negro Question.

The 15th amendment is ratified •nd the negro in a voter with all the political rights and privileges of the white man. In this count) the vote es the newly enfranchised class amounts to nothing, as there i» not a tingle one within its borders, and we are not sorry that it is so. But the question comes home to every republican of this county who was opposed to the amendment, Shall we still vote with our friends, or shall We go over and vote with the democratic party? What good will it do us to pursue the latter Course? The negro is a voter 3nd he will vote as and prejudices lead him. There is now a strife between the politicians in . those counties where there is a large population, to secure their But ote to the respective parties. The arc that although we will get the majority of their votes at this ooming election, we can not expect to hold them for a definite time, for the reason that in ell counties where there are ncgroca, there are three democrats who employ their labor where there is one republican, and it is well-known to every one .who has examined the democratic politician that he cau dive deeper in “the dirty pool of politics” and come up nastier than any other man. Every republican kftowa that when a negro conies here he is met in a far more friendly spirit of social equality by democrats than by republicans, and this was the case, too, when he had neither political nor civil fights under the government. Since the change in his political status, will they not greet the black man as a person to be courted with the blandishments of the drawing room and the banquet? and will they not hail his advent among them as an aeoession to their party? For an answer to these questions we need only to refer to the letter of a leading democratic editor of this State —Mr. Wbittlesey r , of Evansville—(published m the Union a couple of weeks since), inviting Fred. Doug lass to make Lis house his home during his stay in that city, and in which a welcome was extended to all of Mr. Douglass’ friends, without regard to race or color.— Even in the city of Laporte it is •aid that an Irish democrat was heard to ask an old negro drayman 1 F the 15th “amindmint” hadn't passed and if he wasn’t now a voter? When told such was tho case, Fat threw his arms affectionately aronnd the neck of the old “man and brother” and feelingly exclaim*ed “ begorra thin u-e art frindi and aqueUf” Let no man hug the delusive hope that he can avoid the negro by going over to the democracy, for such is not the case. He is there among them, and on terms of social equality and in his most degraded condition—ignorant and vile. It is well-known that in the southern part of Indiana, where there are many negroes, by far the largest portion of them are employ ed by wealty democrats in their factories, mills, foundries, machineshops, about their offices, on th“6ir steamboats, wharves, farms, as hostlers, eooks, waiters, seamstresses, chambermaids, etc., who admit them to their Louses, their tables, their secrets as equals, and to their literary organizations as intellectual superiors. Then it is better for us to remain with the republican party where the negro is considered just what he is, a man but recently enfranchised, rather than go to the democratic party where lie is fawned upon, flattered and treated as a demi-god. The telegraphic reports of the New Hampshire election are incomplete. There were four candidates tor governor—Stearns, republican; Bedell, democrat; Flint, labor reform; and Barrows, temperance.— stearas is probably re-elected by fjuptween 1,000 and I,£oo majority. The legislature is Mepublican, with > # JgsjgntT red need from last year.

The Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad.

“We believe that if tiie proper I effort was made, the Indianapolis &. Jeffersonville Railway Company could be induced to build the proposed 1., D. <fc C. air line.— That company has the capital and i certainly' would build this link, with the assistance proffered by the counties along the line, if the matter was properly presented before it. This link would give that company almost an air line of unbroken rail from the lake at Chicago, through Indianapolis, to Louisville. And now that the bridge is finished across the Ohio, cars could be run from lake Michigan to the Gulf, without change. This would I then command tlio larger amount! of not only North and South travel, i hut would he the greatest freight line in the West. Lot those who are concerned, stir the matter up, and let those who were appointed to act, act at once.” —Monlicello Herald. It is most too late to ssv anything more about the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad to the people of Jasper county. So far as they are concerned, the officers of this company have sinned away the day of grace. Steps have already been taken, and will probably be completed before our commisaioners.shall have adjourned their present session, to prevent the assessment of the tax voted for this road last summer. We arp now interested in a project to revive the old “American Central” route, which was surveyed and graded across the county iii 1858-9. The Fort Wayne <fc Pacific Railroad Company are pushing things vigorously, and within the present month will place its construction under contract. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Daniel Webster, Henry day, Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, all expressed themselves against the principles of the 15th A mcndinen t. — Knox Ledger. What a wonderful reminiscence tho Ledger man has, to be sure!— See! O, Mussclman! Can't you remember what Adam, Noah, Cyrus, Alexander, Cmsar, Hannibal, Frederick the Great, Napoleon, and the rest of those old coves used to think and say about the Amendment?— Tell us about all your old associates. ; "Don't make invidious discrimhvatious; it looks bad. u ' At the request of a friend we republish the vote of Jasper county iu 1868, for Secretary of State: Towxsmrs. | Hoffman. 1 Rise.

If she got To shore the accusation was true and site was hanged; if she sank the Lord punished her for a wicked witch. “We have received the speech of Hon. Jasper Packard, Member of Congress from the Eleventh District, made in the House of Representatives oil the sth ultimo, upon the ‘Republican Party—its present duties and past achievments, and Democratic repudiation.’ It is an able and eloquent address, 1 one in which Mr. Packard's constituents may well be prolid.”— lndianapolis Journal. Were it not that the Journal is paid for its advertisements the above “special notice” would be considered a bit of irony. Henry Ward Beecher says he can’t serve God aright with an stomach, and his church gives him $ 10,000 per annum fco fill it. Other preachers recommend fasting as a means of grace and are permitted to starve on S3OO a year, < '* The Knox Ledger, complains that children howl about the streets o’ nights, the boys swear and young ladies practice gymnastics, dance hornpipes, and turn summersaults before window's with unclosed blinds, in that bucolic and gritty city. Some speakers talk too long before they begin to say anything, others talk too long after they have done saying anything. Both are bores. —.—^—.— . a; Preparations are being made for sugar*making in Fulton county. 1

We copy the following letter from the Rochester Spy. KkwaNxk, 111. Feb. £7, 1870. Win. Ashton, Director I Ft. W. A P. R. ft. } Dicak Sin: Since I saw you we have been waking up the people on the line of our proposed road. There have been large meetings held at Iletiry, Andover, Cambridge and Muscatine. All have appointed, their committees and are going to work to have the required amount of stock voted and subscribed. During the month of April, Muscatine pledges $200,000, and Henry SIOO,OOO. So you see the hall is rolling in Illinois. There is to he a inass meeting at Pontiac on Wednesday, March 2nd and at Clifton and Iroquois on FriI day, March 4th. I leave home on Tuesday for those meetings, and cx[>ect to go to the State line. Should >e glad to see you at L’ontiac, if convenient. We hope to have our stock voted as soon as you do, and he prepared to commence work. Yours, «&e., E. V. Bronson. » The Local of the Anderson Herald inspirates tho following piece “About an Eagle:” “The American Eagle is a big tiling. It soars aloft and is painted on the flag of the country. The stars and stripes don't amount to anything without the eagle.* The eagle creates much enthusiasm.— He is a patriollsrtl-maker and a majestic bird. Blessed he him who invented the idea of making the eagle the emblem bird. - The Father of his Country hacked the cherrytree and never fold a lie in his life. So did the eagle. The Father of his Country and the eagle arc fast friends. They have always been. To love one is to love the other.— To despise cither is pure cussedness with the scum on. Wc should as soon think of making our voice heard in a woman-suffrage convention, as to say a word against the eagle in a crowd of patriots. One would be as impolitic as the other. The eagle has a heap of hard’sense. It can look from the craggy mountain top and say ‘Fan monarch of all I survey’ or sing ‘Shoo Fly,’ just as it chooses.” “Died—at Logansport, on yesterday, Miss Ella Gertrude Milroy, only daughter of Gon. It. 11. Milroy, of erysipelas, aged IS years. “This amiable and accomplished young lady was attending school at Logansport, and had been slightly ailing lor two weeks, yet no damage was apprehended until ilonday last, when her parents received a telegraphic dispatch apprising them of it. They started immediately and were with her until she expired. She was a great favorite with her acquaintances and onr citizens generally. This is a terrible blow to the General and his family, and also to many sympathizing friends. “ ‘O, not in cruelty, not in wratli, The Reaper came that day; ’Twits an angel visited the green earth And took the flower away.’ ” —Delphi Journal. “Among the delegates from this district in attendance at the State Convention there was but one sentiment in regard to Packard’s claims for a re-nomination. That is that he is a dead duck. So our veneraable friend, who cautioned us lately that our attacks on that gentleman were likely to produce trouble in the party, c,an see for himself that we do not stand alone. In every cottfity there is wide-spread dissatisfaction with our M. C. Everybody, however, testifies to his private virtues, and it is generally felt that he is well-suited to obscurity. —Rochester Spy. The Indianapolis Journal says that Professor Cox, in his last trip, made a few days since, found a splendid vein of block coal in Clay county, near the town of Carbon, and on the line of the new Indianapolis &St Louis railway, lie is confident that there is enough coal in Clay county to supply the country, estimating the amount in Clay county at upwards of 6,000,000,000 tons. | An atrocious project is now on foot to occupy three months with the burial of Anson Burlingame, as was done with George Peabody. The prolonged sepulture of the latter became a broad farce and a disgusting burlesque before it was half done. We respected Mr. Burlingame too much while living to quietjy submit to such a “wake” over hi? remains.— lndianapolis Journal. A petition, signed by 500 freeholders, will be presented to the Board of Commissioners next [this] week, asking that an election be ordered to permit the people of this county to vote on the question of a tax in aid ot the Ft. Wayne & Pacific Railroad.— Rochester , ( Fulton County,) Union Spy. The" Eighth Congressional Dis#ct conrcntion will be held at Kokomo on the 16th of June, next. Republicans from that district say that Hon. James N. Tyner will be renomiuated without opposition. The enumeration-for school purposes, of the colored children' of New Albany, gives a total of five hundred and seventy-four between the ages of six and twenty-one years. Dan. Vorheesnntends to reply to Governor Morton’s speech, made at the State Convention. The Rockville Republican reports the peach crop entirely destroyed in county.

Republican State Platform.

Tlit I’uUm Republican party of Indiana, astembted in Coneentssm at Indtnnapi.'iu, an the \'l«d day of February, 1870, makes the /allotting declaration of principles: I. We congratulate the country on the res lorallon oflaw and order ia the. late rebellious States, under the reconstruction measures adopted by the General Governmeiit, and upon tne prevalence of pesce nod return of frslernsl feeling among the people of ail the Suites, under u Constitution securing on equality of politlrul and civil rights to nil citizens, without distinction of race or color. 7, Tbst wc reverence the Constitutlcn of the United Ststcs as the supreme law of the ltnd, snd a wlso embodiment of the principles of free government, and following its teachings we will adopt from time to time such amendments as are necessary more completely to establish justice. Insure domestic tranquility snd secure the Meanings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity; and that we rejoice ft the ratittcatjofl of the Fifteenth Amendment which foicvcr sccuass an equali ty of political rights to all nieu. and we extend to the colored man a helping hand to enable him in the race of life to improve and slevate bis condition. 3. That the national debt created in the defense and preservation of the Union, however -greaLthc burden, must be cheerfully borne, until honorably and honestly extinguished in accordance Willi the letter and spirit of the several laws authorizing the debt; and that ali sttcmptH at repudiation of principal or interest should meet the scorn and denunciation of an honest and patriotic people. 4. 'I hat sc demand in every department of the Government, from the highest to the lowest, the strictest economy in all expenditures, consistent with the requirements of the publie service; the redaction and abolishment of all extravagnnt fees and salaries; the closing of ail ueeless office*, and tire dismissal of their incumbents and all efforts to these ends in Congress, or elsewhere, have our unqualified approval. 5. 1 hat a i eduction of taxation ia demanded, both of utiff and internal taxes, until it reaches the lowest amount consistent with the credit and nereKsitiea of the Government; and that we are in favoj of a tariff for revenue, believing that a proper adjuatment, or duties must necessarily afford all the incidental protection to which any intereat la entitled. 6. That we are in favor of a currency founded on the national credit', as abundant as the trade and commerce of the country demand; and that we disapprove of all laws in reference thereto which establish monopoly or inequality therein. 7. That we are opposed to the donation ol the public land*, or the grant of subsidies in money to railroads and other corporations; and that we demand the reservation of the public domain for the use of actual settlers and educational purposes. 8. That we re affirm that “of all who were faithful in the trials of the late war, there are none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, and imperiled their lives in the tervice of their country, and the bounties and pensiona provided by law for those brave defenders of the nation are obligations never to be forgotten, and should he paid without cost to the recipient. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the nation—a sacred legsey bequeathed to the nation's protecting care.’’ 8 That we approve the general course of onr Senators and Republican Representatives in Congress, and exprass onr full and entire confidence that they will act with wisdom and integrity in all that concerns the welfare of the people; and that we tender thanks to Sea ator Morton for his exertions in so shaping the legislation of Congress on the reconstruction of the late rebel States, as to secure the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment. 10. That we endorse the administration of General Grant as President of the United States; accept tho increased collections of revenue, the reduction of expenditures, and payment of a large portion of the public debt as a fulfillment of his promisee of economy, aDd rejoice that the victorious General of the Union armies should, ns a civil officer, receive the last of the rebel States Wits return to the national family. 11. Inasmuch as all Republican governments depend for tlieir stability und perpetuity on the intelligence and virtue ot the people, it I» the right and duty of the State and National authorities to establish, foster and secure the Uighcat moral and intellectual develop, ment of the people. 12. That taxation for county and other local purposes lots become so great as to be oppressive to the people; that our system of county administration needs reform, and we demand oi our representatives in the Legislature such changes in the statutes of the stale as will protect the people from extravagant tax levies by local authorities; and as an aid to this needed reform wc favor a reduction of the fees of county officers to a standard which will furnish a fair and reasonable compensation for the services rendered, and that no officer should be favored with salary, fees or perquisites beyond such fair and reasonable compensation. 13. That the canal stocks, issued under tho legislation of 1846 and 1847, commonly called the "Butler Bill,” were, by the terms of the contract, charged exclusively upou the Wabash and Erie Canal, its revenues and lands; and the faith of the State never having been directly or indirectly pledged for the payment or redemption thereof said canal stocks therefore constitute no part of the outstanding debts or liabilities of the States That the Constitution of this State ought to be amended at the the earliest practicable period, so ns to prohibit the taking effect of any law or acta of the General Assembly proposing to recognize or create any liability of the State for the laid canal stocks, or any part thereof, until such proposition shall have been submitted to a direct vote of the people of the State and approved by them. 14. That we heartily endorse the administration of our State affairs by Governor Baker, and his associate State Officers, and especially congratulate the people that the time is so near when the State debt wiU be entirely liqnid a ted. ~, • .... ,
