Orr being, as we have said, a politi

with the latter, has an evident capaci

politiuo-gra matically considered,
Orr, in spite of its numerous va

by reason of them, all that it is capa

In our judgement, citizens should
attend a meeting at WVinnaloro, from
every neighborhood in Fairfield on
the first Monday of Snpteinbe- in or
der to organile for the canva in this
County. If a suitable set of honest
white and black candidates for the
eight offices to be filled will take the
6eld,and canvass earnestly in their own
behalf, this County can be carried in
favor of Rieforin. It may be better to
unito our countytioket with that of
the Scott ptrty. Lot it be decided
whether to wake the offer, or not, up
on due consultation. It is high time
to have some plan or other, and the
flirst Monday of September is an ex
cellent time for taking counsel to
gether in forming one. We hea t i
approve, therefore, of the call ,;cd

By an amendment to the United
States Bankrupt acts, passed on the
14th of July last, any debtor can
take the benefit of going into bank
ruptcy, without being compelled to
pay fifty cents on the dollar, for all of
his debts contracted previous to the
1st of January, 1869.

Mr. News :
I've often been asked and every one
wants to know how I am going to vote
and in a few words I am going to tell :
1. I ought to vote for Scott and
Ringer.
2. 1 ought not to vote for Carpen
ter and Butler.
3. The bigge.t crowd's going for
Scott and Ringer and they have got
all the money and all the offices. I
s%y the biggest crowd is going for
them because the niggers belong to
them and they can make them vote as
they please. They say they steal. I
don't care for this; there is honour
amongst thieves, and by ny keeping
amongst the crowd, I'll swear they
won't steal from inc and I'll get some
good picking and an office toe. I am
not much promoted now oily a Coun
try Jur,tieo of the peace, an office sny
nigger can get that can write, and
UJa) bo I'll get something better in
time to come, and if I don't, as the
times are hard, 1 hope the Ring will
pay me a thousand dollars or so for
writing this letter. If yoit think so,
Mr. Editor, you cmn send mno'$200 st
10 per cnt discount for cashin.g the
expectation. W'ellI, beaides, both par
ti'es are the same except one is full of
convicted thieves, and the other
ohlaims to be honest. I am much in
favor of that great and good man
Whitnmore and think him smart. You
well know hcstolo the mnonoy and got
oil' after convlction without being
hung. I am of the opinion that I
wvill cultiv;ate his acquaintance and
mayhe I can Iearj to do smart things
and have all kept mum. You see
virtue used to be great things, but
that was in scurvy old days, when old
fogien knew no botter. Vrico is much
superior to virtue and much more
p'opular and will get the puoM. votes.
The fact is, I ama tor the side in power
and the one I think has the best
chance, -and eepecially I'm for
the oue that palys the best, now I
man this is any natural inclination.
Bunt I have not said the way I will
veto': I have only slhy? how my feel
ing are on the subject. '4he, fact is
there are a goed many' ether reasons
that urNge me .omi. I want on office,
what eate I for honesty? I Iwant a
fait office, what caro I for principle ?
I have sold my sou1 for. loss titan th.r

Good-bye honour1 - liut ['ought not

Well the faict is, Mr. Editor, I don't
for a mioment suppose you care inuch
how I go, and if I thought yoh did, I
would go the other way.* The~ fact Is
I am a kind of political sneak, and as

Instrucllots from State Executive Com
mittee.
The Executive Committed of .the
Union Reform party beg leave to re
port the tollowing plan of organiza
tion for each county, and urge its
immodiate adoption. You are charg.
od with nauming the central executive
comuittee residing at the courthouse,
and we suggest that we name some of
eitber color, if practicable, and not
let your committee be too large :
1. This committee must immedi
ately appoint a sub-committee foi
each township, beat, or some other
practicable division.
2. Each sub-committee should pro,
coeed at once to organize its scotion
into clubs or societies.
3. Each club or society should ap
point an aotivo, intelligent man to
nake a list of every voter in his town,
ship or section, with his political pro
olivities opposite his name.
4. These lists should be forwarded
to the central committee at the court
house, and consolidated, each clul
keeping a copy.
5. Every man favorable to the Re
form movement should be assignet
the duty of influencing one or more
votes, and take charge of them on th<
day of election, and see that they
reach the polls, or remain away if un
favorable ; and when the voters have
no transportation, see that it is pro
vided.
6. On the day of election, two oi
three discreet and intelligent met
should be assigned by tho central ex
ecutivo connittee to go to each ele.
tion precinct, with a list of votore
alphabetically made out, and keep an
account of the voters and challenge
illegal voters.
