There was a false affidavit on the faith of which the land was awa-deJ to the affiant,2d. The man who is said to have made the false oath, deeded the land to Mr. Thompson.3d. Mr. Thompson quit-claimed the land to the man who, as ao officer, took the false affidavit.The amount recited in the first deed as having been paid by Mr. Thompson for the land is 8500.The amount recited in the second deed as having been paid to Mr.Thompson forquit-dairaingis$l,OGO.Now to believe that Mr. Thomp-snn was entirely guiltless, it is necessary to believe that if the fraud had been successful Mr Thompson would have had no share in the “specula-tion ?” Will anybody believe that?Money was paid to the man who made the false affidavit; and Mr. Thompson may not have furnished his portion of the money. But if it had proved a legitimate transaction, will anybody believe that he would then denied having furnished it, and thus voluntarily relinquished his great profit in a big speculation ?One small track was sold for $400. This indicates what the dozen, more or less, tracks would have brought, had the fraud been entirely success-ful. Will anybody believe that Mr. Thompson voluntarily relinquished his interest in this great profit—in a dozen tracks, a small one of which brought nearly as much money, 8400, as; was paid for all—$500.Then Mr. Thompson quit claimedfor $1,000? If he had no interest,why is this sum recited] in the deed as the amount received ? Why was not, as usual, a very small amount recited, merely to meet the legal requirement? Why did Mr. Thompson acknowledge to receivingjust twice the amount—$1,000—thefirst deed recited that he paid_$500, if he had no interest ?Are wo to suppose, a/ter going over this ground, that Mr. Thompson was ignoraDt that the aforesaid affidavit was false; ignorant that if the fraud were successful he would make a large amount of money by it; ignorant that never in bis life—if bis reputation does not misrepre-sent him could he relinquish a good opportunity to make money ?It should be recollected that when Mr. Thompsou received the first deed, he became the absolute owner of property, say, worth $10,000.Will any body believe that all this property was made over to him for nothing? Or that he relinquished it for nothing ? I3 that the reputation Mr, Thompson has in this community ?The inferences are inevitable. Mr. Thompson went into the matter with other parties, as a speculation. When the fraud was discovered he undertook to “hedge.” Therefore his statements to other parties, now brought forward to exculpate biro,*I back j They were made with that view,* is the anlt;l are now being ao used, and Mr.Alien, Mr. Thompson's confederate, has agreed to bear the brunt of theMSTRICT,DEN,0URT,i.CIKKI-court. I consider myself absolved from supporting biro, because he claims to be running not as a party candidate, and like Mr. J. C, Thompson, was too good to inarch in the procession that paraded in Sedalta a short time since, with thecolored Ropublieaus.I shall vote for Mr. Ittel because he is the best county treasurer Pettis comity ha3 ever had to my knowledge, aud I am an old ie3ident of the county. He has put a stop to thepilfering of the farmers and labor-*mg men of the county who have held jury scrip, and who were in great need of money co their warrants. He is accommodating, and withal a thoroughly houest man, as I wall know. He has saved to the county,by the figures heretofore published in the Democrat, Jaud theyhave not been denied, about $1,500on commissions alone, on payments on coupons paid in the East, lees than the amount paid for the aame purpose, in the same length of time, by former treasurers, who done their business through the. bank Mr. Thompson ia with and which I suppose controlled these charges.I am for the interests of Pettis county, and I aru opposed to ever electing to office any man, whetherRepublican or Democrat, that will! give the promise of foistiDg upon the county a jury scrip, county warrant and swamp land rj„g. Xhese things have cursed my party, and, politically speaking, I have no objection to the Democrats doing anything thatmay redound to their misfortune as a party, but the trouble is when these false Steps are taken, the? also hurt the people.Another reason why I support Mr. Ittei, is because he has no swamp land record, aud is not supported bj a stool-pigeon like Charley Allen, who expects to. speculate off the peo pie, should Mr. Thompson be elected.My sentiments, Mr. Editor, are the sentiments of many Republicans.A Pettis Republican.TtPDajCto Wa C( Phri and dlee mak the i or N TtCOCQICine Pa cboic or Si pal c neat witbi W.

His remarks were electrical; and the vast audience was completely en-thuzed, Uproarious at times over his lively sallies of wit, applauding to toe echo of his rapier thrusts at the enemy, and cheering until the old Court House seemed to shake, his, or.Jiiant eloquence.
