WAS A SUTLER, IS A BEAN-RAISER.

Hear, Oye heavens! Give ear, G earth! It has been discovered by certain republican journals that Hon. Anson Woloott was an army sutler, and therefore is not fit to be governor of Indiana, Woloott a sutler, Williams a wearer of bine jeans, and Orth—. Well yon see, you know, Mr. Orth id onr candidate, and people ought not to judge a republl-. oan harshly nor sorotbine his antecedent* too closely. There is entirely too muolt of this ppyannal detraction of ronublican ~mvifHitts, especially hy the piratical independent press. It shakee the confidence of the people, and suspicious of all onr public Men now hi office, moot of whom are republican* The effete thrones of the Old World wng their heads when they read these wholesale charges of corruption and the findings of investigating committees, and derisively ask, Where are the baaatadt advantages of republiee? when their super-excellent purity? Those journals which persistently attack corruption when found in onr party, are the allies of copperheads and rebels. They should be made to suffer for it. When republicans nominate a distinguished man HM Mr. Ortb, no matter If he is smirched

with corruption from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, it Is the duty of all to vote for him, and those who refuse are enemies of the republican party, hence traitors, rebels, pariahs, copperheads, idiots, knaves, fools. Mr. Orth was a brave Bailor; he made a gallant record as a ram oommander on the stormy Wabash. What if he and Old Pettit were crooked in the Widow Peters case ? What if Godfors did dip in that Venesuela Claims affair? Am his distinguished naval services in 'the dark and bloody days to count for nothing? Do they oat entitle him to charitable coorideratioa? And the* It must be known that whs* those Venem-

He was not eons Mered tnnch of a politician who had not been connected with the Credit Mobilier open’ tions, bribed with Pacific Mail Steamship money, or had not operated in tike land grabbing schemes of railroad companies. It was necessary that something should be done to prove his full sympathy and hearty accord with the principles of the honored representatives of the grand old party which preserved our glorious nation from utter destruction. Bat what shadow of an excuse has Jimmy Williams for bringing contempt upon the republic, in the estimation of those who are clothed in the gorgeous Uvery of Eastern courts, by wearing bine jeans io congress ? Or what palliation will Mr. Wolcott urge for having been an army sutler? Gentlemen voters' of Indiana, they have none to offer worthy of your momentary consideration. No extenuation is admissible, because this is a presidential campaign season. Whatever Mr. Orth has done was right, because he is a republican nominee; whatever Mr, Williams or Mr. Woloett have done were wrong, because they are not republican Candidates. There is no excuse and no mitigating circumstances for any man who has been n sutler—if he did not speculate in cotton and share profits with department commanders. Sutlers and post traders have worked evil enough to the republican party already, and ills now very impudent for them to ask for the suffrages of the people to place them in positions of honor, trust and emolument when republicans want alt those places themselves. Net contented with having disgraced a cabinet oficsr of, renown, must they also defeat the aspirations of a chronic office-holder? Where wM this thing stop, if the people encourage lir. Wolcott? He must hot be talented. Sutlerima mast be crushed oat, it is earning wotne havoc m the republican ranks than the combined assaults of the South and the Confederates in congress. Besides having been a sutler, Mr. Wolcott ban also besn engaged in the nefarious occupation of cultivating beaus; navy beans; beans for soup l Everybody knows how demoralising beans are to the human family. Search Patent Office reports, the reports of the Commissioner of Agriculture as thoroughly as possible, yansack the records in the office of the Attorney General at Washington' City, delve deep

among the musty tomes of history, sacred or profane, ancient or modern, and berhape nothing will be found to prove (hat beans are ah ingredient that enters Into the manufacture of crooked whiskey; but turn to the kitchens of our prisous, penitentiaries and penal institn-' tions if you would discover this legutuluous concentration of crime and fihame in all its wofol wickedness and desperate depravity t Behold the horrid eagerness with which criminals of every grade devour a plate of beans! Koto the expression of fiendish satisfaction which glitters in their eyes and jpwfi on every hrttty!feature, as they WMt Ao the bottom their tin caps of thin pito MUpl Who, then, can doubt the veruioioua influence of beau upon sociSty, especially soup beans?

mtVy beans—eoup beans ? Let an iotelKent end disoriminating public answer mk momentous and overshadowing question at the polla next October. It ft perhaps the grandest issue that will le debated by party journals this campaign; let the people listen patiently, widgfc carefully, and decide justly. Let ft understand the question as stated by e republican press of Indiana. It is thus: Mr. Orth should be elected governor, because he is the republican candidate and wants the office; Mr. Williams snould not be elected, because he is a democrat and wears blue jeans clothing in congress; Mr. Woloott ought to be defeated, because he was jsn army sutler ami sometimes plants beaus—soup beans.

A call has been issued to the democratic and , independent voters of the 10th congressional district of Indiana to assemble to mass convention at Michigan City, on the STth day of the present month, to nominate a candidate for conilßMMw- cf WjpfWMlt ftt&Ofl» || ties vote for Governor Hendricks in 1872, allowing in thcconventkm one vote for eVery 100 votes cast for him, and one for the fraction of 100 over 50. By this apportionment the strength of the several counties in the convention will be as fellows : St. Joseph 28 Tulaaki..

Independents will take notice that, although invited to go up, swell- the crowd, and sit around on the ragged edges, they are given no representation. It would not have done ham to more than one member of the central committee if they had taken the vote given Judge Biddle or Dr. Haymond as the basts of representation, instead of going back to an election held anterior to the time an independent vote wu polled. It may be possible,' by means of this arrangement, to plaoe in nomination some candidate who has a liberal hand and an exceedingly cool foundation; but— Oh! Well! Well it don't make much difference to the avenge independent voter whet kind at mtrte* am brought to a feast of T-d-a crow and B-e-k-k buisard.

The Rensselaer Uxiov (Independent) predicts the election of Major Calkins by a majority of I,2oo.—Montuxllo Herald. It in ouch perverse distortions of facts by party journals that make than unreliable, unworthy of respect, and very muoh impairs their influence. The Harold possesses sufficient ability to know that abraviated truth ia only equivalent to falsehood. The prediction of Ta* Union was based upon certain eontingsneiss, which were explicitly statedThe Herald ought, in fidmen'to the opporitfca and to Tan Union, as well as in jsftaeos to itself and for the advantage If its favorite candidate, to have published at least the substance of those contingencies to connection with the statement above quoted, else it Aould have remained silent Th* Union predicts that Major Galkins, will not be elected by 1,200 majority, if wisdom prevails to democratic councils, and republican newspapers inaugurate a campaign of fobdfootiAW

With its issue of the 10th day o ’ August, Thb Renbsxlaxk Union will beoome a partisan journal. That isl to say, it will then pronounce its preference for national, state, congressional, representative, judicial and county officers, aud until the close of the campaign labor to secure their election. By that time parties will have filled ip their tioketa and developed the plan of the campaign. Th* Union will attempt to conduct its share in the oontast with regard to questions of present importance or bearing upon the fixture. Bead issues will be ignored, and reference made to things whioh transpired in the .past only as they are eonneotedf with the present, I or nn they serve to Indkate what may be expected in the fitters from their source under similar ofreumataaoas. Th* Union will endeavor to be fair in Its treatment of those opposed to it in prin-

ciple and policy; to be maaly,earnest and out-spoken in all its utterances; avoiding os for as possible oil personal controversies as unprofitable and tending to canoe the estrangement of those who should be friends. In deriding upon this policy Tb* Union is governed by a sense of duty and propriety. It is the duty of every oilmen—it is a high pre-rogative—-to throw the Wright of his influence and ballot with that party whose principles and candidates will, in his judgment, best subserve the interests of the country—not merely a section of it. Perhaps it will be our misfortune to err in judgment, but to do that la only human. It is possible we "may cast our fortune with the weaker side, but that will not be a new experience. Whatever may be the resuk, whether our able wins or loses, we will be gaiaen ia the eon* tofousMse of hiring done what ww felt was our duty,

Huyes swept & part of it, but the firm of Tilden and umr dricks was not then engaged in that avocation; indeed if we are not misinformed the junior member was neither to that section himself “nor advised any “body rise to go where he did not ex“pect to go.” These gentlemen may have cried occasionally, and perhaps now call it a war-cry, but they are not likely to be elected by Northern votes on that kind of a war record.
