RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, SEPTEMBER 28,1876.

TO REPUBLICAN INDEPENDENTS.

The democracy of this county are no fools. They understand the political aitnation just an well as their republican neighbors and a trifle better than their independent dupes. They recognize that the issue to be decided by the Atneri can people is that which agitated them as the throes of an earthquake from 1860 to 1865, and many boldly affirm it. It has been no unfre quent occurrence for the more out spoken, frank and manly of these Jasper county democrats to say since the campaign waxed warm, that this was a struggle for the supremacy of the doctrine of state sovereignty. Not more than three weeks have passed since an intelligent thinking democrat remarked that the republican party deserved defeat upon the first proposition of their platform, which is as follows: The United States of America is a nation, not a league. By the combined workings of the national and state governments, under tbur respective constitutions, the rights of ev< ry citizen are secured at home and protected abroad, and the common welfare promoted. “No bolder announcemerU of this “infamous doctrine,” said he, “has “been made since the day of John “Hancock.”

Not only do they speak with frankness that is sweetly refreshing regarding the cardinal dogmas of their partv, but they also publicly and notoriously assign to their proper position in the democratic zanks the dupes whom their false pretenses of reform have seduced from the republican fold. To illustrate this fact we cal,l the attention of the independent-greenback voters of Jasper county to- the position that has been assigned litem. Look at the ticket and see hoW you are represented. Vote for a democrat for congress, a democrat for the legislature, and you are complimented with the honor of a representation upon a. county ticket which every intelligent and moderately informed democrat concedes will be disastrously beaten. They assign to these greenback dupes whom their sham pretentions of relorin have seduced from the party of their early love, a place in the public demonstrations and on their show bills according to their rank. Take for an illustration of this the bills advertising the meeting of Hon. Geo. W. Julian and others which is to be held at this place to-day. It reads “Democratic and independent grand rally,” and is illustrated with a spread eagle bearing a streamer in its beak on which is inscribed the names of Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks; and flanking the eagle on either side are the portraits of the democratic candidates for president and vice president, over which shadow the eagle's wings as in a benediction. It is perfectly proper that the independents should have a place on these posters as the tail piece of thb democratic dog; and it is also proper that Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks are represented as the independents' candidates; because the dog is master of hie tail, and wags it to suit his own dear interest. Every man who has been a republican because he sincerely party which preserved the nation from destruction were better calculated to promote the welfare of mankind than the principles of the party which sought to compass the destraction of our government —the government of the people—who is how persuaded to vote for Cooper, practically gives half a vote to undo that which was accomplished by the mighty struggle of four long years of bloody strife wherein more than tour hundred thousand patriots yielded up their lives as a sacrifice to their lore of country. Republican independents Can you afford to hazard the results which were bought at so dear a cost for the questionable honor of a back seat in the sseemi blies of the party of Ujeason, strajr agem and spoil?

HALF A CONVERT TO HAYES.

It has been told us by several gentlemen (more than ope, or two, or three,) that after the St. Louis convention had completed its work and announced its candidates to the public, Mr. O. B. Mclntire endorsed the action of that convention and declared his intention to vote for Mr. Tilden; thaton several occasions, and to several persona, he urged Mr. Tilden as tbe best man of the three candidates for the presidency. Of course those who were acquainted with Mr. McIntire’s antecedents expected him to take this stand, and were not surprised at it. The democracy of Jasper county, who were represented in the Bradford convention which nominated a joint candidate to represent White and Jasper counties in the legislature, controlled the action of that aonvention to suit themselvgs. Among others of the Jasper democracy present in that convention and actively participating were John G. Culp, Dan iel B. Miller, Henry A. Barkley, Al. J Kitt, Dr. Marion G. Tr’augh, Charles Hathaway, and Nau Batea. Without decency or respect to precedent, the convention threw overboard Hon. Geo. H Brown, and bestowed the nomination upon Mr. Mdntire, and the true-blue democrats of White county who were watching proceedings outside immediately “ratified” the nomination thus made. •

In White county they proclaimed Mr. Mclntire as a democrat, really believing him to be one in sympathy and in truth. Mr. Cowden, the democratic candidate for auditor Of White county, brought around bis friends, on the 2d day of September, at the Voorhees-Williams rally at Monticello, and introduced to them “Mr. Mclntire, of Jasper county, democratic candidate for the legislature.” But, h Th* best hM sehamet es mice and men Aft gang agley I Our democratic friends had counted too much on blood. Blood is mighty, but truth will prevail. Mr. Mclntire has cut loose from democracy, and gone half way to the support of Hayes, and publicly announces his determination to vote for honest, but deluded, Peter Cooper. Upon the principle that half a loaf of bread is better than none, it rejoices The Union to be able to announce that Hon. Jesse D. Bright's nephew, who repudiated Horace Greeley when run by the democracy, now repudiates Tilden and Hendricks and proposes to throw his vote away on Cooper. Mr. Mclntire is a gentleman of excellent character, a strict temperance man in principle and practice, aud before many years will probably be thoroughly converted to the doctrine of republicanism.

HUMAN CARRION.

Morton’s bummer brigade of disreputable leaders, interspersed with a few decent but misled veterans are assembled in Indianapolis to continue the shameless mountebankism of the campaign of hate. * * * They come t-gether a human carrion, with hearts closed to all that is noble; all that is right, even all that is of manliness or good repute smothered in the one hateful, ignoble struggle for the perpetuation of the political vice, penalty, and hate which have kept the country in a turmoil of unrest. — Chicago Times. The body which Mr. Tlldeu'a Chicago organ calls “human carrion” was composed of the soldiers of the late war who fought to preserve the nation from destruction by Mr. Tilden’s party—the rebels ot the southern states, and rebel sympathisers of Indiana and other northern states. Besides such distinguished soldiers as Gen. Burnrides who was three times wounded by rebel bullets, Gen. Noyes whbse right leg was carried away by a rebel democrat’s shot, Gen. Robinson minus a leg, Gen. Kilpatrick in whose body is still imbedded a rebel bullet, Gen. Garfield, Gen. L»gan, Gen. Ben. Spooner minus an arm lost in his oonntry’s service, Gen. Ben. Harrison, Csp. Ball whose left sleeve hangs empty, Henry Sherwood a private soldier in Minty's brigade

of cavalry whose rightleg was shot awsy at the knee on the 20th day of June at Kenesaw mountain, whom Fits Hugh the rebel democratic doorkeeper of the House of Representatives kicked outto make room for a rebel democrat, were thousands of other brave men of the rank and file, crippled and sound, who risked fortune, home and even lite to sustain the government when its very existence was threatened by Mr. Tilden’s friends. These are the men whom a copperhead candidate’s organ calls “human carrion.” But we can stand the outrageous insult if Mr. Tilden can. There is nothing, perhaps, our “misguided brethren” can do which will prove so well calculated to foster feelings ot friendship and hasten the good time when ail will rejoice“over the healing tokens of the awful storm of war,” than to heap upon our heads the hot coals of contumely, scorn and insnlt-

INTERCONVERTIBLE COPPERHEADISM.

At Remington, on last Saturday, a loud-talking independent-green-back advocate declared publicly to an audience of six or eight voters, in Messrs. Johnson & Johnson’s store, that “a copperhead is just as good as a republican;” and that Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks With their infamous war record were as fit to be president and vice president of the United States as any loyal men of the north. This sentiment fairly iepresents the true inwardness of those who oppose the republican party in the second great struggle of tbe rebel element to obtain control of the govirnment. Should any union democrat or any independent voter doubt the accuracy of tbe statement above made, he is referred to Mr. Mahlon Johnson, Mr. Charles M. Johnson, and Mr. Wm. H. Henkte who will be able to give the names of three or four other gentlemen who also beard the remark made and deliberately repeated once or twice. ♦‘A copperhead is just as good as a republican” was the opinion of that ardent Peter Cooper independent refonn-greenback-interconverti-ble-deniocrat. If they dared, that class of Peter Cooper worshipers would shout for Jeff Davis and repudiation.

CONUNDRUMS FOR THE REMINGTON RECORD.

Does the Remington Rtcord propose to reform American politics through the use of arguments simlar to those employed by its editor while engaged m his evangelical labors with the girls at Van Valken burg’s? Will the editor of the Remington Record hazard his social standing in the community where he now resides by provoking a personal controversy with one who has always shown Liin the kindest consideration, while the police records of a neighboring county are so bandy and the testimony elicited in a certain criminal trial is sail fresh in the memories of living people? The Union is for peace; does the Record want war? Don’t bet on the elections in Indiana, because it,is A violation of law, demoralizing in its tendencies, and thepenalty is disfranchisement; but if you are disposed to waive these considerations, and are “on the make,” put your money where it will do the most good—where it is reasonably safe. If you will bet, although it is immoral and in violation ot law, risk all you have to spare on the whole republican ticket of J asper county, on the election of Major Calkins to congress, on thp •lection of Gen. Harrison for govelection of Gen. Hayes as the next president of the United States. Take even bets on the governor, and give as large odds as y<m please on the balance mentioned above—even twenty to one on the Congressional and county .ticket.

Actuated by the spirit of the rebel democracy in whoee interest it is laboring the Remington Record moat shamefully attack* the business ot a priyate citizen of Rensselaer, and weekibefore lastdimk occasion to sneer at Mr. A. .Leopold. The fact is that Mr. Leopold has been voting with the democracy in years past, but was no copperhead during the war. Familiar with the course of Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks ♦rom 1861 to 1865, and seeing, as most intelligent men do, that the same issue is before the American people this campaign, Mr. Leopold boldly annouiioes his intention to vote for Hayes and Wheeler and the gallant Ben. Harrison. This probably explains the hostility of the little copperhead editoj who conducts tbe hermaphrodite journal known as the Remington Record. Brother Kilt descends to mighty low depths of meanness when be attempts to inaugurate a campaign .of hate in Jasper county, and it certaialy will react to hisxiiaciimflture. Mf.Xeopold will not suffer for bis opinions’ rake in this vicinity. This attempt at political will surely make him friends.

Mr. Hendricks, governor of Indiana, and democratic candidate for vice president, was in Chicago iu 1864 when Gen. McClellan was nominated for the presidency upon a platform which declared the war a failure, .and made a public speech in which he said he trusted “Jifa “still remained In the luaeseQ, and “that they have-not been sunk Bo “low by the four years of despotism but that they can rise to cru»h “out abolitionism and hurl the smutty “old tyrant at Washington out of polit“ical existence.” A few months afterwards Booth, one of the masses who bad not sunk so low by th.o four years of deypotistp, arose and with his pistol assassinated Mr. Lincoln, “the smutty old tyt ani at Washington," referred -to in dial speech, “hurting him from political “existence;’’ and Mr. Hendricks knew of the full fruition of.his hating hope when he heard, as the echo of his owp words, sic’semper tyrannis, in the assassin’s fierce shout of triumph.

In order to hasten the lime when Union soldiers shall forget the terrible scenes of the wav, the conciliating democracy of La Forte county carried a bloody shirt at th#-head of their procession nt Michigan City op the occasion of a recent rally in honor of Hon. D. W. Voorhees and Hon. James D. Williams, the candidate for governor, and neither the one nor the other of there worthies were manly enough to rebuke the wanton insult. .....
