Let us have Peace.

There in no republican »in this Congressional district with the interest* of his p*riy nt heart but who regrets the unfortunate discussion row going ,yn in the district between those who favor General Packard’s re-election to Congress and those who oppose him. Strong, honest and sincere men—leaders in their respective localiti es—are becoming heated and immoderate. Bitter are the denunciations and charges uttered by those who oppose him, and severe the retorts of his friends. The welfare of the party demands a cessation of hostilities.* We can not afford to fritter away our strength in this State, and place weapons in the hands of our enemies, by ruinous Jissention among ourselves. Already the democracy anticipate an easy victory in our district and openly boast of certain success. This should cause us all to dispassionately survey the situation and critically ascertain whither we are drifting. . ■ No individual should desire to hazard the success of principles for the gratification of personal ambition; and no party is wise that hearkens to such dangerous counselors. By this time Mr. Packard should be convinced that hie unfortunate course has made his reelection exceedingly doubtful. It makes little difference with the result how quarrels originate, if nothing is done to conciliate the parties who feel aggrieved. Every step made by our representative thus far has complicated bis difficulties and increased the determination of his opposition. This failure to harmonize disturbing elements presents a marked contrast with the ability of his illustrious predecessor.— While Mr. Colfax represented this district our majorities steadily increased, and dissentions were unknown.

We repeat what wc have previously said: w believe the renomination. of Mr. Packard will hazard the success of the ticket. Why should he persevere in this matter against the protest of a respectable number of his constituents? It is true he served honorably and with distinction* Juring the war, as his scars and title attest; so did thousands of others in his district. For his blood spilled in defence of the nation he deserves the gratitude of his countrymen, and they have proven that his services are appreciated by keeping him in public office ever since. Fof the last two years he has received a salary of $5,000 per annum. Before the campaign that elected him to Congress he enjoyed the emoluments of one of the best offices in the wealthy county of

LaPorte. He made the Congressional campaign with little expense to himself, in some instances county central oommittees footing his hotel bills, and, as we have been told» the State central committee giving him tSOO to defray his traveling expenses. The gratitude of his eonstituents has secured him a compecy, now let him stand aside while they reward other deserving sons. It is true we have felt ourselves needlessly and causelessly mortified by General Packard’s course towards us in the postoflice matter, but he claimed to have done what appeared to be lor our personal interests and the good of the party.— We profess as much loyalty to the party as his friends claim for him, and at the same lime reciprocate

as far as possible his care for our individual interests by advising him to withdraw from the sontest w hile he may do so gracefully. Let him, ia this respect, emulate the noble nxaoiple of his illustrious compeer, Mr. Orth, for what will the empty honor of * Domination benefit him if he is defeated at .the polls? We are sincere in whet we have said, and naught has been uttered in malice or bravo. Jn respect to situation in this Congressional district we have spoken only what »• believe tobo truth, and what all should know. Jt is useless for ••• °*> r ayes to facts or attempt to concsal them. Already

the leaven of discontent is spreading among the masses. This unfor/ lunate diacussion must cease, oil muat be poured upon the troubledwaters, the agitated elements must be calmed, or just .so certain as causes produce their results and the 11th day of October dawns a Democrat will be elected to Congoers from this district. We see no way by which harmony is to be attained except by bringing out some other man. The question is no longer upon Mr. Packard’s capacity, but it is upon his nvailibility.— The children" opposed to him arc too many to bo spßnked into supporting him, as waa suggested by the Kentland Gazette, neither can they bo bullied into submission with the covert throats contained in the “deep laid plot” circular he is franking ovor the district. It is time Congressmen understand that they are the servants of the people and not their masters. If Mr. Packard’s friends arc wise they will not conceal from him the real position his blunders have placed him in. If thby are sincere in their professions of party fealty they will assist us in restoring harmony.

The Country Postoffice War.

As the Congressional contest waxes warmer those who oppose Mr. Packard's renomination are haughtily challenged to bring forward charges against him or shut their mouths. When the LaPorte Herald and Rochester Spy charged general lack of ability to worthily and creditably fill the position he occupies and specified that he had created discord among his constituents and strife in the party, they were sneered at as disappointed postoffice seekers. We stated our honest conviction that his renomination would greatly hazard the success of the ticket, giving as a reason for our conclusions the undeniable fact that his weakness has occasioned wide-spread disappointment and, of course, dissatisfaction among his political constituents throughout the district. They meet us with the very original argument “You are mad about the postoffice,” and appear to think the charges met and satisfactorily answered, their leader vindicated, and the controversy ended. Wo frankly admit that we are mad about the poetoffice, not because wo failed to get it, but on account of Mr. Packard’s weak duplicity in tho matter. Mr. Packard had evidently determined upon removing the postmaster at this place to show the people that he had power to So so—just to show them that he was funning the thing. To do this he made overtures to a number and promised the appointment to two or three persons, thus creating jealousy among neighbors, estranging friends, and disturbing the” harmony of the party, Mr. Packard wrote one thing to one person and something else to another about this matter, promising this thing to one and that thing to the other until he disgraced himself and all his friends, disgusted everybody and was openly denounced,, by members of his party as “a weak, cowardly fool, easily bluffed by his enemies and ready to desert his friends and break his deliberate promises.’* In reply to these accusations we will no doubt be met with the soothing and concilitory information that we “areznad abotft the postpffice.”

If we charge that General Packard is so supremely selfish that lie would -not hesitate to sacrifice bis friends or weaken his party'to gratify his ambition—if wc charge that his lack of ability has brought disappointment to the hopes of those who were bis warmest friends —if we charge that wide-spread dissatisfaction has been occasioned by his many indiscretions if we charge that his unnecessary insults and contemptible meddling with-

affairs in which he was no way concerned has made for him so many enemies that his election will be doubtful even should Le receive the nomination—if we charge that he is so little and penurious that he permitted county committees to settle his hotel bills while canvassing tho district, and held on to the Auditor’s office in LaPorte county from the time he was nominated for Congress until he started to Washington to take his seat, over

the earnest protest of his friends—we will be met with the convincing reply “you are mad about the postoffice, these. charges originate in personal grievances." Well gentlemen we admit many Of them are personal grievances, but are you not aware that no men fight so desperately as those who have personal grievance to avenge? Wb have taken but little pains to learn the situation respecting this MBit... i •

matter outside of Jasper county, but wc know men here—and they are not connected with this paper cither—who liavo >-bcon outrageously treated and deceived by this “noble Congressman” who, with their friends, will not Support him in convention nor at the polls, and there are others who will give him but a lukewarm support Lt tlip most. Wc have met influential republicans from White, Pulaski and Newton counties who say he has made bitter and active enemies in their localities who can not be induced to support him. Add to this the lively tiiseussion going on in his own county (where they are bombarding one another with affidavits), at Rochester and other

parts of the district, and none will fail to see that to renominate General Packard will greatly imperil the republican success in this district,'and perhaps in the State. Wc are sorry this state of affairs exists in the district; we regret exceedingly that the discussion was ever thrust upon the party; it fortunate, harmful and if persevered in will surely result in humiliating defeat and we urge upon all the necessity for prompt and immediate action to avert the calamity. Wc desire the welfare and success of tho party. We want .peace and harmony among our friends and political brethren, but this can never be attained by taunts, and sneers, and threats. - Intelligent men are not convinced by browbeating, nor are personal grievances healed by continual reference to them. Mr. Packard and his friends must jry some other arguments for these wont win.

A New Key.

Tho SoutV Bend Union, the Winamac Democrat and the Stark county Ledger, all democratic papers, speak favorably of Gen. Packard as the proper man for the Republicans of this District to nominate for Congress. We have heard several of the influential Democrats of this county speak in the same mam ner.— Rensselaer Union. By mere accident w*e have come in possession of the “key” to»tha foregoing species of warfare on Gen. Packard. —For a few weeks it has been indulged in by three papers in the District Orders tfent out from a certain quarter to have it appear that the Democracy were In favor of the renomination of Gen. Packard, and thus it was hoped to greatly injure him. This species of guerilla warfare, begun at Laporte, has extended as far as three newspapers in the District, whose editors are disappointed post office applicants, had circulation, and no farther. A correspondent . from Jasper county, givetf our readers this week the reason the Rensselaer Union opposes Gen. Packaid. Let the friends of. fair play cry aloud and spare not. It is simply an outrage to attempt to thus ruin a man because just three men failed to get a post office apiece. — Kentland Gazette. We publish below*, the “key” so feelingly alluded to by our friend Conner. We didn’t eome into possession of it by accident, it was given to us by a good republican who thought it was such a valuable communication, that it should be made public.

- - THE “KEY.” 11. R. Washington, April —l-8.70. Esq. My Dear Sir:—l write you very hastily to say that it has leaked out here, that there is a deep laid plot among the Democrats to defeat for renomination all the Republican delegation in Congress. 'l’heir idea is that this will most surely distract and demoralize our party and secure Democratic success at the coining election. Jhhan was beaten day before yesterday, and every effort is being made to defeat Shanks. In my Dist. they are cunningly setting Republicans after me, while their papers seem to defend me, only to injure me among Republicans. Already the Herald of Laporte is using this against me, precisely as .they intended should be done. The movement is especially directed against those of us who were in the army during the war. They think and very correctly that the surest -way to drive the soldiers from us is to slaughter their candidates. If the plan succeeds the State is lost to us beyond redemption. Don’t fail to look to this, “forewarned is forearmed.” Yours Very Truly, Jasper Packard.

“Here is richness.” No one but the man who could so ruthlessly stab the farmer’s barn with lightning, could have made the astonishing discovery of the deep laid and damnable plot of the Democracy. We had innocently supposed from hearing democrats talk, that they were organized to tell us whether laws and constitutional amendments were constitutional. We can’t believe it, it is too preposterous. The idea of Julian,..being a soldier is good, but is not quite so cheeky as .his claim to be the candidate. We have heard enough of this frtllhy talk about soldiers from ainan who will in looking for men to fill the petty

offices at his disposal remove private soldiers and appoint men who if they were in the army nt all were under good pay or went out when the war was almost over. Realy now does anyone but Con.nor, (having the post office under Packard lie feels, poor fellow, that he must open his mouth like a young -.robin ami it don’t make any difference whether Packard drops in tilth or a worm) believe a cock-and-bull xitory «(ike that published above. If the Democratic press of the District have been hired by any one, it is by the party who now cries “stop thief.” In Mr. Julian’s district, the Democracy did not want a softer thing than his renomination. In this district they want nothing better than to have Mr. Packard again put on the track, and they manifest their glee in anticipation of this event, their papers all assuring them that the General is a good man, but the day of their triumph is drawing near. As for the covert threat that he will defeat the State ticket if he is not renominated, we take it to be little else than the ravings of a man half demented with greed for office. It is the dernier argument of a candidate who feels his pros-* poets rapidly declining. ——— ——«te-W W Kentland, Ind., ) April 15th, 1870. j Editors Union: A communication from your place m the Kentland Gazette, over the signature of “Justice,” strikes an entirely new key. The opposition you arc making to Gen. Packard’s renomination, is not confined in your locality. Whether or not “Justice” tells facts, of course wc are unable to say, and it is little difficult to understand what busincss it TS to us if they are true. — Uc may state the cause of your opposition, but Mr. Packard is opposed here on entirely different grounds. If the statements of “Justice” fairly represent your case, we can only think it reasonaable that, those having a postoffice shopld work dilligently for him, and from the defense lie is receiving in the Gazette we are inclind to think its fussy editor is carning the fees of his post office. Fair Play.

Tho Chicago Tribune has the following dispatch: “Rochester, Ind., April 19. The election for appropriating $60,000 in aid of the Fort Wayne & Pacific Railroad through Fulton county was carried by a majority of 350. The counties along the line through this State will undoubtedly vote their local aid, and the work will begin by the Ist of June. When completed this will be one of the best roads nF the country, being the most direct route from New York to Omaha.”
