November 8 Michigan .November 8 Wisconsin ...November 8 Col. Nelson Truslcr, republican candidate for attorney general, addressed abont 800 persons—mostly voters —in tbe Court House in this place, Tuesday afternoon. It was a clear, ringing, truthful statement of facts without einbarnssment and without sycophancy. Thelanguage was chosen with reference to its plainness and the speaker did not look through the vocabulary for flattering words. It was just such a speech as every man should make who is a candidate for office or who advocates any set of principles, then there is no room for deception ■ either in the man or tho party lie represents.

• It is expected that the republican ! rally at this place on the 17th inst. | will be the large.-! gathering ever | known in the county. Mr. Colfax is known throughout the world as one of the foremost American statesmen. Mr. Cumback lias won mi reputation as one of the most logical and eloquent orators - ndiana. We see by Mr. Colfax’s appointments that Rensselaer is the only' place he will speak at in the southern part of the 11th congressional district during the campaign —the nearest point being Laporte—and for this reason everybody should come out to welcome him.

Mr. Stephen Davidson, of Rochester, one of the directors of the State board of agriculture will picase accept thanks tor a couple of complimentary tickets for the proprietors of this paper together with their wiveF, to the State Fair at Indianapolis to be held from October 3d to Bth inclusive. This fair will probably be the largest .ever held in the State as the season has been propitious and an unusnally large premium list is offered. Mr. D. Hyatt Aiken, of Cokesbury, S. (X, has our thanks for an invitation to attend the Anuual Fair for 1870, of the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, to be “held in Columbia, beginning on the 9th of November next, and continuing for four days.” We would like to attend and if sufficient inducements—say £2OO or such a matter—were held out would accept the invitation. Mr. J. H. Platt, M. C., has our thanks for valuable campaign document*.
