TU Court House Clique, fcoling tbaf
the day cf retribution near at hand,
ara wrought up to the highes, itato of
desperation at thfl thoughts of having
to account to tho proplo of Franklin
Ccunty for their oft repeated faithlesa
pit dgc4, that thy are in favor of free
dom, nod of malhiß Kansas a freo State;
and für tho corrupt and vrastoful ox
pauditurti of the people money. They
aee and foci, that they can no longer
deceive tho honott and independent
tacn of their party, by thoix laloa and
hypocritical profoealons of economy

Dp you suppoo gentlemen of the
Clique, that auch honest and indepen
dent men as John T. Cooley, Giles Gant
and Frank Bauer, who acting from con
scious integrity of principle, bare con.
sentcd that their Republican and Dem
ocratio friends, may us their names,
and support thera for tho respective of
fices for wbicb tbey are candidates, can
iq.Aoy way be. 'influenced (or their
Ddiaocratio friends) by any such un
worthy considerations, even if true,
much lens when they know, and you
know, that tbe charge is wholly false,
and without tbe least foundation for
even a suspicion. The honest and in
dependent Domocratsof Franklin coun

have been abusing and vilifying through
your organ and on the stump for years,
to bo influenced by any such stuff, or
by any such old hackneyed cants as
Know Notbingism," "Maine Lawism.'
But not content with villifying tbe
Republicans you can t restrain your in
ve terato hatred to. any thing like inde
pendence in men, to think for them
selves, and act honestly, but must de
nounce Cooley, Gant and Bauer, as over
ambitious, disaffected Democrats" and
'tools' berauso they will no longer bo
led by your corrupt and tyrannical rule.
A" part of these samo men, tho Democ
racy in its purer days delighted to hon
or. But in these days of political cor
ruption, and Court House, fence swin
dles, Cooley and -Gant and all the
friends who daro think for themselves,
are denounced by the pro-slavery and
nigger loving cliqne, because they will
not endorse their doings.
And becaufto Frank Bauer, an honest
German, who was rejected by 'this same
clique, because he was too honest, if put
in charge of the peoples' money, to pay
off the bogus Orders of Auditor Quick,
dare to-be a candidate in opposition to
tho well tried and faithful Michael, who
knows well all tho tricks of tho office,
and who seems to bo the only German
in all the county, but has to much bon
sty to be trusted wlt an efjco fiader
tixe clique. ' .'
For this audacity, Bauer is to bo at
ouoe condemned to the clique ing gal
atine, and represented as "not being
qualified for tho office," "a tool for Black
Republicans and Know Nothings," and
in the very next sentence they charge
that "Mr. Bauer is a German "a (wäi.

ing keeps a store and sells beer.
What is this change made fur, ge.
tlomen of the "Court House Clique;"
but fur the purpoio of keeping in your
ranks such Know . Nothing allies as
Uolman and Martin M. Ray ?
We hope soon to see the day, when
honest moo every where, will be allow
ed to go to the polls and voto as indo
pcndoiitmeo, and not as dictated to by
a fow ofSco-holders, and ofSco-suekcrs,
snd Congress aspirants, and salaried
attorneys around the Court House who
composo tho "Court House Clique."
The Court House Clique.
The Democrat of last week howls over
our cxpobe of the doings of the Court
Houe Clique, like a dog with the scald
head, and challenges proof that tho
Clique favored tbo proceedings of the
Commissioners, in their clandestine let
ting of tho Court House Fenco to Mr
Edwin May. Our neighbor has a ster
eotyped argument whenever dritcn to
tho wall, on which he chiefly relics in
this matter. That argument is, to brand
all who oppose him as "liars" and their
facts "falsehoods." Wo havo bad 'occa
to say heretofore, that this kind of ar
gument is peculiar to cowards and crimU
rials, and regret to see our cotemporary
indulge in their use. Wo did charge,
and now repeat it, that the action of the
County Commissioners must, from the
nature of things, hdvo been known to,
and approved ly, tho leaders of the
Cour Ilouse Cliquo; and all this show of
opposition t buttfufo lelicvt, to throw;
dust into tb peopled eyes until ' alter
the election in October. Thoro is not
an intelligent man in the County, who
knows personally Messrs. Hiatt and
CaUee, that bolieve. that they would for
a moment think of assuming suck re
sponsibility, in opposition to the vieics
and vishss of theirjparfy leaders. The
idea is absurd; the-assumption prepos
terous, and he that proclaims it an ar
rant demagogue.
If the Court House Clique are noir,
and always havp been, opposed to secret
letting, to partisan favorites, of tho
County improvements, why "has their
voice rcpoH.ed in silence, nntil this net Of
contracting tho Court House Fence?
Was there a public, letting of tho poor
houso farm when the rich bottom lands
were private) sold to a partüan favor
ite?' Did the Commissioners advertise
for proposals, and award the land to tho
highest responsible bidder? ' It is notorious
that they did not. Whoro, then, wcro
your Court - Ilonse Clique, wbo no
claim to bo tho. exclusive .sentinels op
ino waicn tower, to guido tle public
treasury, and where was 'tbeir voico In
denunciation of their agenU? Echo an
swers, whore? History answers at
the back of your Commissioners, coun
selinj and advising their civrse.
When our FOor House was to be
built, did. the Commissioners advertiso
and invite '. proposals, and let to the
lowest responsible bidder? , On tbo con
trary, as iu tbe taso'of.tho Court House
Fence, they kocw- 'of parties wbo ex
pected and trtjAo! to bid, and thus
knowing, they' privately contracted it to
this pet partisan, imported from Indian
apolis, to meet tbe view of this Court
House Cabal. Did theso men then do
ncunco this coureo of proceodure? Not
in tbe least; but their stentorian voices,
and vigorous gooso quill, wero as silent
as the chambers of death.
It is with bad grace at this trying
hour.that they aseume to have been, and
aro notr, the opponents of all this extrav
agance, and donounco thoso who charge
them with conniriogat it Thy have
by their silent approval, and active sup
port of the County Commissioners,
during all these operations, assumed a
responsibility that the poople of tho
county will not allow them to throw off.
To this responsibility, citizens of old
Franklin, we urgo you to pin them
fast. At tho ballot box in October,
record your verdict, and let it bo such
as will insure thorosgh wiping out of
this old nest of officials, that has been
(or year3, through the Clique, designat-
ing their successors for tho Tarioiij
County offices. Now is the the accepted
time mark your men, and the result
will bo felt in all time to come.
Sheriff Glidewell
It is a well settled axiom tbat it is
best to "tell the truth if it shames the
Devil." Mr. Glidewell, by infringing
this rulo has got into a tight place. He
first denies tbo charge that ho was drunk
ic, at tho Union pic-nio and gives it
the lie direct He next impliedly ad
mits the truth of the charge, and pleads
"that if ho was drunl he is ashamed of
it, and will do so no more." This is
too plainly a plan of the "baby act,"
as tho overwhelming testimony of Mr.
Colescott has nailed tbo qncetion to the
counter.
The influences of the Court Houso
clique aro ruinous to young men from
tho country aa is clearly demonstrated
in the case of Glidewell and others wu
have occasion to name hereivfter.
The between Glidw;i and
Colescott is now fairly made. Colescott
makes the charge and Glidewoll denies
it. We Invited the proof and Colescott
gives it. Tho jury are to try it in Oc
tober and wo wait' with confidence the
verdict.- Every voter should remember
that ho casts his vote as a sworn juror
in this case. Mr. Colescott is a bold man
snd challenges legal or other investiga
tion -ho is a responsible mau, but we
aro confident no big lawyer few will
grow out of it. Tbo truth is, he has
got GlidcTvcll by the "nap of the nock,"
and you should son! his political courso
by your verdict of guilty a"V the ballot
box. . .. .
The Howl of the Black Democracy
Over the Court Houso Fence is sim
ply ridiculous. Why" is it that, when
the Commissioners sold out tho fat job
of building our Court Houho, and made
arrangements to spend $30,090 of mon
ey on that edifice, that tlo rfghtcous
Indignation of the Black Democracy was
nf.i aroused? Was the plan and specifi
cations of tho Court House first settled,
and then a fair, open and j-ublio letting
of the same had? "Nary time." Did
the party everobjoct to this proceeding?
How about tbo Poor House, built
at an expense of $17,000?
Both tlicso jobs wero sold cut ip sub
stantially the same manner , that this
fsuco has bcon disposod of, but the par
ry has held up their hands' for both these
Iniquities. Then why this noiso and
howl. It is nothing but a fa reo to de
lude tho people. Tbo Clique havo sot
up this man of straw, and are now tig
orously trying to beat it down in hopes
of withdrawing the attention of tho
people from thotruo issues of tho day
from our Treasury operations from
tho iueornpeteney and-unfitness for
office of some of their candidates, and
past extrayaganco and profligacy with
the people's money. ...
'Look to your interests, tax-payers
see-to it that you are not gulled by this
clap-trap hue and cry concerning tbe
Court Houso Fvtuc, which is but a tri
flo, whoo iC pared with tbo past
conduct i U cxtravaganco of the

"No Democrat was ever elotted President of
the United States after the partr was organiz
ed, who was not a nominee of tho party."

Th above frank admission, is so an
tipodes to the. stereotyped declaration
that the party nowclainung tobe "Dem

dution of the Government, and has

we nrust do our .neighbor the codit of

dent Let us no moro hear tho dema
gogical cant which claims Washington's
Jefferson ;s, ''MadhionV and" Monroe's
administrations aspart of tlio.iiistory of
this bogus '.'Democracy." Tho truth tt
history will sometimes leak o,-and ail
men "who rcd," know" that no ucb
party as the Democratic", party ever
had an "organization" in this rountry
until after tho first election of Goncrnl
Jackson. It is time that this "self evi
dent lio" was; branded as it deserves,
and domagogues frowned down, who
assurao to themselves under this corrupt
slave-ridden organization, to bo tho par
ty whoso virtues and examples wo should
all strivo to emulate, but upon such as

him who "steals the livery of heaven to
serve tho Devil in."
Union Correspondence.
Whitcomb September, '27, 1858.
Mr. Epitob:
Our quiet tillage was
edified on Friday evoning last by polit
cal speaking, and has been the first mat
ter of stiring interest, since tho memor
able pic-nic at which "Jack" Glidewell
got so gloriously drunk and about which
he has made such an ass of himself.
The speaking was advertised for the
little. "Brass piece" of tbo "Democracy,"
Daniel D. Jones Esq., of self-imposing
importance. After tho courtesy shown
this arrogant demagogue,. by Mr. Cum
back at Mt. Carraol, and "Dans" boast
ed announcement ol his intended reply,
after Cum back's speech at Brookville,
and inritation for public discussion, wc
fairly presumed. Id inviting Judge
Gant and Reuben Cooley Esq., to be
present and one or both participate in
the discussion. Mr. Jones, however,
instead of inviting Judge Gant to a
general discussion of the issues beforo
tho country as Cumback did Jones at
Mt. Carmcl, refused, to discuss with
them unles they, would avow themselves
Republicans, and thereby showed the
white feather; but finally consented
that Gant might reply on conditions
and under restrictions that destroyod
all fuirncsa and proper investigation.
The Judgo, however, pitched into him
with such decided effect that Jones got
mad and roared liko a caged animal.
The moro he growled the harder tbe
old flannel jacket Judge tightened the
screws, until Dan fairly caught in the
meshes of Lecomptonism "caved in."
The speech of Gant was a trump, com
pared with that of Dan's. He showed
more political information cloar pow
ers of argumentation readier wit, and
tho self-possession that marks the man.
Tho crowd insisted on Reuben Cooley
Esq., spoaking. Mr. O. who is a plain
truthful man and formerly Couhty
Commissioner, took up the Court House
clique and county expenses, and expos
ed their doings and extravaganceAvllh
n master hand. It was not only costly,
Court Houses, Jails, Assylums and Iron
fences that cat up our taxes, but the
fact tbat some men could xcear fino gold

Friend Fostir : I promised in a
former letter to say something of tho
election contest in this Congrcsviona
district,- between Frank I Blair, Jr.,
and J. R. Darret. No new develop
ments havo been mado' public. Tho
ballot boxes havo boon undergoing in
spection for a week past, und the result
of the inspection will be known soon
This inspection was opposed to tho bit
ter end by the Darret Democracy. All
kinds of objections and subterfuges
were urged against it. The order of the
Commissioner to the County Clerk to
deliver up the ballots, was attempted to
bo forestalled, and tho Clerk was threat
ened with. prosecution and imprion-
ment should ho obey the order. But nil
to no purpose. The order was issuod,
and tho Clerk obeyod it. There is some-
thlHg vory suspicious in this strong op
position to tho inspection. Tho Barret
ruen bad all along declared that the
frauds wero 'perpotrated upon Blair's
side, ahd not upon theirs. Still, when
it wns offered to decido the matter by
actual examination of tho votos, they
mado an awful howling and groaning,
and went into violent parbxj'sms about
tho "sacrcdncss of the secret ballot," and
the "sanctity of tho ballot-box," whonat
tbo same time they knew that the.objuct
of preserving tbo ballots, was that they
might bejnepectcd in cascof an election
contest upon thö ground of fraudulent
votes. In a dozen other instances they
Have given rise to stronger suspicions of
baso villainy, all of which convpiro to
provo positively that it is tho sanctity of
fraud which they wish lo preserve, in
stead of tho "sanctity of tho ballot
box." . .
In Illinois., there is now. a hot, three
cornered political figbt-eacK' corner
charging iipon the other two witU-groat
fury. .Tho "National Democrats," tho
Douglas Democrats and the Republi
cans, aro tho three parties. At Centra
lia last week, during the," Illinois State
Fair, which was held at that place, a
grand demonstration wus raiecd by each
ol tho Democratic wings, Ex-Uov, Rey
nolds leading tho "Nationals," and U.
P. Joinder tho .Douglasites. A groat
deal of grapo and hot shot was thrown
into each others camp, as the meetings
were held at the samo hour. Between
theso two wings -there is ns half way
place; no chanco for a half "National,"
nd half Douglas brother. Such men
us your Holmans'and Lines and Joneses
could not get along, trimming between
Douglas and Buchanan, as they aro do
ing in your District, but would be un
ceremoniously kicked off .either wing
with the profoundest contempt. This
part of Missouri is looking with tho
greatest Interest upon tho Illinois con
test..
' Last weck I bad the pleasure ofboing
brouirht in company with Senator
Trumbull for an hour or so. My pro
conceivod idea of the Senator's appear
ance wus fully met. I gave you a brief
description in my last letter of the per
sonal appearance of Douglas. Intellect
ually, neither of them will suffer by a
comparison with tho other. But mor
ally, there is the greatest contrast. In
Judge Trumbull you may readily see
the marks of a statesman, controlled by
strictly temperate and moral habits,
and by tho highest honor. He evinces
this too, not oi ly in his. personal ap
pearance, but in his conversation. Such
marks are entirely foreign to Douglas.
Physically, ho is about fivo feet ten in-
ches high, blcndor and straight. He is
sanguine of Republican success in Illi
nois, and says thathe never saw abetter
sentiment prevail throughout the State.
The emigration to Missouri at this
imö is' very great, considering , the
pressure of the times. Thoro are two
main causes for this. The first ii the
Free State' spirit which is rising, espe
cially along tho border of tho Slate.
Tho defeats of this element in the last
flections will not materially injure it.
Indeed, it tho frauds which were prac
ticed upon tho Frco State -population
can be fully exposod, it will giro the
free element a greater impuso than it
had before. The second causo is tbe
"Graduated Laud" arrangement ia the
State, by which any on coming soob,
with about sixty-fire dollars, can secure
them a tract of three hundred and
twenty acres of land. I will explain
this arrangement more fully at some
other time. Of the emigration to this
State, thero Is a considerable portion
from Indiana, several of whom have
settled in St. Louis. By the way, this
city is conccdoJ to bo one of tho best
points in tho West for a young roan
with a good trado or profession, provi
ded he Is well furnished with the irr
important metallic elements, consist nr

frightful disaster. It is distinctly re
ported that tho file resulted from caro

apartments wun coai tar. as soon as
the firo was announced, the Cuptain, it
