Will Dunn be Elected 1
Can Mr. Dunn be elected? is often asked us. It is certain that he can be elected if all the Republicans in this district vote for him. The district is
Bepub-
lican by a handsome majority, and there can be no good reason why any Republican should vote against Mr. Dunn, or for Voorhees. Mr. Dunn is a Republican, has been a Republican all his life, and advocates all the measures advocated by the Republican party. He is a young man of much promise, enlarged culture, upright morals, and energetic and industrious. There is no wrong attached to his past record, and nothing censurable in all his relations in life. Then there can be no reasonable objection, on the part of any Republican, in voting for him. A Democrat, from a natural desire to be on the wrong side, might with some show of consistency vote against him, but we fail to see how a Republican can persuade himself that lie would be consistent, and vote that way.
Can a Republican vote for Mr. Voorhees He has been the enemy of the party since its organization. He never advocated any of the measures which the party did. Never voted for any man the Republican party voted for, but has been ever, and all the time, a bitter and unrelenting opponent of the party, and a persecutor of its men and measures He has fought the party from the time it proclaimed inflexible hostility to the advance of slavery into free territory, until, amid the smoke of battle, and the carnage of war, it proclaimed slavery abolished on this continent, and the union of these States preserved, one and inseparable. He was from first to last against* the prosecution of the war to the overthrow of the rebellion, and the Republicans, and the Republican party was in favor of it. He was, during all that long and bloody war a rebel sympathizer, and Republicans were opposed to rebels. He gave aid and comfort" to the enemies of his country, and Republicans gave them powder and ball. He acted, all through the great struggle with those who sought to destroy this government, and now desires the votes of those whose heroism and endurance preserved it from overthrow, by his friends. Can a Republican, or a man who ever was a Republican, vote for such* a man We think not. We do not believe there is one throughoutthis entire district, who was ever a true, genuine Republican, that will now vote for Daniel W. Voorhees. That name is too much associated with treason, rebel, and all that goes to make up the character of a man, who in the time of great danger, will not fight for his country, but on the contrary gives secret help and aid to her enemies. We repeat it, can any Republican vote for such a man? We will not believe it, nor do we believe we will be forced to admit it, after the votes are counted in October.
Can then, Mr. Dunn be elected? The votes in this Congressional district, at the last Congressional race, stood as follows Counties. Carter. Sullivan 1,27] Greene 1,991 Owen 1,405 Clay 1,081 Vigo 3,322 Parke 2 327 Vermillion 1.213 Monroe 1,-lSl Lawrence 1.7(i
Voorliees. 2,435 1,962 1,952 1,945 3,174 1,&56 848 1.398 1,515
Total 10,4.54 10,582
It will be seen by this that Voorhees beat Carter only 128 votes two years ago. That was pretty close work, and he would then have received no majority at all, had it not been for blundering in managing the campaign. Voorhees' war record then, as now, should have been exposed by the press of the District, and held up to the eyes of the people on every stump from Vermillion to Lawence counties. This was not done, and the oily tongue of Voorhees deceived many good and honest Republicans.
The campaign this fall opens differently. The people will not again forget who D. W. Voorhees is, and what, he has been. But take the above figures as the precise strength of the parlies two years ago, and have we not recently received an additional strength that will, beyond any question, elect Mr. Dunn? We have in t!iis district not less than eight hundred votes, given us by the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. Every one of these colored men will vote with the Republican party. The Democracy are leaking every effort they can to secure some of them, but they will fail The man of color can not be deceived. He can never be convinced that the Democratic party was ever his friend. He knows that that party sought with all its power to fasten the fetters ot slavery on him and his children, forever.
Take then the 128 majority which Voorhees received two years ago, from the 800 additional votes, and we have 7G2 Republican majority in this district—and it will not be one voteless if the party does its duty..
The Campaign in Parke County. ROCKVILLIC, Ind.. July 2G, IS70. Editor Terre JTaufe Gazette:
The campaign was opened in grand style in old Parke. The cannon commenced booming about 7J o'clock, and fired at intervals until 8 o'clock, when the band proceeded to the hotel and escorted the speakers, Col. Trusler and Major Evans to the Court House. Notwithstanding the warm weather, the house was full to overflowing.
Col. Trusler was then introduced by Mr. Mori an, chairman R. C. C. C. Col. T. spoke for two hours in his eloquent and impressive manner, and during the delivery of the entire speech he commanded tuc stiictest attention, not person leiv* ing the house, but was applauded throughout his speech. "Every portion of his speech was complete, especially the greenback. He proved which was not hard to do) tliat the Republican party was the father of greenbacks, that they had made them and made them good and intended to keep them good. The blood of union soldiers was upon every dollar of them. While the democracy had tried to prevent the issuing of them, and after they were issued tried to discredit them in every way. He showed that the State debt had been entirely paid, and Indiana had the largest school fund of any State in the Union. In short, the crowd was a success, the enthusiasm was above fever lieat, and the speech just such an one as we wauted iii Parke. Look for a good resport from us next October. PA RKE.

This road is perfectly able to make a subscription of a quarter of a million dollars to build the new bridge, the cost of which is variously estimated at from-$800,000 to $1,1000,000.
SOCIETY hours in London are a good deal worse than in New York. The rule for reunions, balls, assemblies "at homes," &c., until recently, was that people should go to house-, when tliey were asked, about an hour after midnight The lateness of the dinner hour—say 8:30 p. M., and the (imaginary) necessity of English ladies who have been at a dinner party, changing their dress before they go to a ball, render it almost impossible for people to meet in the ball room be fore the small hours have commenced Now people begin to see that enjoyment at a ball at these hours is out of the question, but society says you cannot make the dinner hour earlier, as it would interfere with the five
i\ M.
tea, and the
cosy chat of intimate friends at that hour. If you anticipated the five o'clock tea what would become of the luncheon hour? And so on ad infinitum.. Some genius proposes to cut the knot by comcommencing at the other end, and having afternoon parties, and to dance by daylight, thus relieving some of the pressure upon the evening time. Lady Holland has commenced afternoon parties once a week,, to which some 2,000 of the cream of society are invited. Other ladies begin to find that they can dance more, get to their work much fresher, at 4 or 5 p. M. than at 1 A. M.R and so approve of the novelty, and afternoon dan ces are now gradually becoming the rule more than the exception in London. Last year, and again on Friday, June 24th, this year, Queen Victoria added to the fashionable stamp of these parties by giving one herself. y.-wtw* .'«*•

Thick sowers shoulh really come and see my sixty acres of wheat. I call one bushel per acre thick sowing. Barley with six pecks, and black oats with two bushels, seem thick enough.

LONDON, July 26.—Nearly all the jour nals of London have editorial remarks this morning on the secret treaty, all similar in tone. "France must explain this offensive treaty," are the words of the limes, and the burden of the London press, and the Times particularly is seeking to make this treaty a pretext for the intervention of England in favor of Prussia.
The attitude of Ireland is also commented on. After giving the details of the many meetings recently heln in Ire land, and the strong resolutions of sympathy for France which have been adopted, the limes asserts that their sympathy is altogether due to Catholicism and their hatred of German Protestantism.

The French navy have a glorious history. You will be worthy of its past. When in front of the enemy, remember that France is with you, and calls the protection of Heaven upon her arms. While you fight on the sea, your brethren fight on the land for the same cause. Go, and show with pride the national standard. When they see it the enemy will know it enfolds the honor and genius of France.

The Moniteur de Loir speaks editorially of the treaty pending in 1866, and says it never had the adherence of the Emperor. The Moniteur adds that such a projcct may exist, but it was proposed by Prussia, not by France.
