THURSDAY MORN'lN'U, SEPT. 13. Love of ToreigneTs and Papacy. Every "Fusion" sheet from liaise to Texa3? from Massachusetts to Oregon, ia filled with the awful charge Lat the " OU Liners " love foreigner? and pipists it is surprising Low the Democracy can survive such an aw- ful charge. It is related of Mahomet that he told hi people there was a part in every hog which, must iiot be eaten by any of the faith- ful, but left them completely iu the daik as to th locale of the prohibited prut. Some iniagina it is the tip end of the tail, some the hoofs, tc, until there are a many different opinions alut the part in question as there are parti to a hog, but the hog is all eaten up. In some parts of the country a n,r4titant for- eigner is received into the loving embrace of lie Republicau(?) party, iu other parts a uativ Catholic is taken. So taking the Union as a whole the Republican?) swallow the whole hoji . It is oca of the wonders of the ae that such a party as the Republican (?) party can exist in tha nineteenth century ; and it is quite hear gentlemen of the capacity and character of tha lite lamented William Pools, Esq., and the valiant General Joseph Hisa, talking of the necessity of preserving this country and the Protestant Church from the insidious wiles of the Scarlet Woman. We see it stated in an exchange, that the nat- ural leva of Massachusetts for Republicanism (?) is accounted for through the intelligence of her people and their natural hatred of Ca- tholicism. Republicanism (?) may then le defined to be a natural hatred ol Catholicism, a desire for burning nunneries, and an intense itching to irtff ect the wardrobes of defonse-les- a wonvm. The party may emphatically be termed the CloOtts Line Party. The rveas of the Clothes Line Party will not discriminate between a love of foreigners and papacy, and an unwillingness to see them persecuted. Every one is willing to agree upon the fact that this country is and ought to be, tha home of the oppressed of every na- tion. Evary ona is of the opinion that no religion test should lw made. Tint when the oppressed" arrive, the Republican (?) party would constantly cast into their teeth the facUhit they were cot to tin M manor born." A negro, according to Republican logic, is as good as a white man ; but an intelligent foreigner is not. Mr. Gabrisox, the Rev. Thso. Parxer, and gentlemen of that ilk, who almost deny the existence of a God, are good citizens ; but an humble, honest, pious, consistent christian, wh. happens to Imj a Ro- man Catholic, is not to be trusted . If people believed that the leaders and ed- itors of the clothes-lin- o party were sincere, they might weep over the insanity and idiocy of so respectable a portion of the community; but it is pretty well understood, that their ndigion and philanthropy have a considerable amount of gammon in them. The idea that this Republic U to be over turned by a respectable old gentleman in Roma (who by the way is pictured in some cluftes-lin- s publications as a fierce looking chnp. rushing with a cross at a very fast looking young man who is supposed to be America-"- - looking daggers at the youth, whilst the youth leaning against a book, looks as boys do when they put their thumUi to their noses saying "No you don't !") who wears long dresses and can hardly keep bis seat in a very com- fortable chair, which he u su prosed t. pos- sess ia ridiculous iu the extreme and the idea that a few thousands of Irish and Ger- mans, who com here every year, are going to pull down the Capitol and turn tho whole Union into a Donnybrook fair or a Turners Gymnasium is also ridiculous. Because the Democratic iarty does not choose to rush into these extremes it U bran- ded as a popery-lovin- g foreigner-embracin- g yrty. By tho way, the clothes-liner- s ought not to talk about Democrats loving Papists, when tho clothes-lin-o Governor of Kentucky has, if we mistake not, married ttro papists. The clothes-line- s aro strikingly like the chameleon which changes is hue to suit its. location. And when in future years some antiquary shall write the history of the pre- sent century, he will mention as the two great humbugs of the time's, Barnum' baby show and the clothes-lin- e party. J. B. NoaiiAK, Es$. It is with extreme sorrow that wa have noticed the sale, by JOHS B. NoaMAV, Esq., of the New Albany LeJyer. Mr. Nobmax has ever been, since hia first connection with the Indiana press, ona of its brightest ornaments, and nol hon- orable members. As a politician he has over maintained a hi .us mail- - honest v of purje, which has hia paper and his writings t the favor of all upright men. . a collator of news, and a caterer the tastes the pcople.Jhe has bwen as success- ful as conscientious, ever looking to the Wa- ring which his publications were likely to have upon the of the public mo- rals and the enlightenment his readers. lie has been a faithful watchman upon the walls' f our Democratic zion, his warning voice always being heard on the approach of danger. "We port with him and with the earnest hope that in whatever sphere of action his lot may be c a.t, he m.y win that success which his Untiring industry merits. The ljeihjer has, however, fallen into the hands of a most sterling and reliable Demo- crat, Hoc. James M. Morrison.

But on the contrary is a good Demo- - rrrwvl writer, and a gentleman. Success, say we, to our old lolitical and editorial Alma Miter, the lsJ.r, and to its new proprietor:. Rational THE PEOPLE MOVING ! ! THE DEMOCRACY OF MONTGOMERY COUNCIL ! IN Grand Outpouring of the People at Craw-fordivill- e ! ! ! SEVEN THOUSAND DEMOCRATS MASS CONVENTION' ! !! ! Spmhts, Made, Esduch, Ladles, Military! Sam's Decease and Sambo's Crucifixion ! Saturday last was a proud day for the gal- lant Democracy of Old Montgomery a day which will long be remembered by them as the occasion of the largest gathering of the People the hntutf People and the most en- thusiastic outpouring and assemblage of the hard tilted yeomanry of the good old Dem- - ociaiii: p'Hty, ever witnessed iu this section of the Iloosier State. ". The clarion cotes of the trump of Liberty are ringing and reverberating through the hills and valleys of Southern ami South-Wes-te- rn Indiana calling upon our people to arm anil come up to the great Kittle for our Coun- try's cause our Country's Constitution our National Union. And the shrill sounds arc finding an echo in every Democratic heart are tha honest masses to the Immi- nent peril of the Confederacy from the fanat- icisms of Abolitionism, and the still more fearful machinations of that oath-boun- d fac- tion which has been conceived in sin, bronght forth in iniquity, a;id is spreading its treaor.3 throughout the land, under the name of Americanism. We rejoice, how- ever, that the corrupt faction has not, nor will not succeed in our Govern- ment, and rearing in its srfead their aoctional, anarchial rule. The peo.le are aroused against these mid- night plotters these Catalinian conspirators these lollntors of our young men and de-bose- rs of old these hirelings of a cor- rupt system which would rob the American citizen of his character for bold independ- ence, and fetter his mind, bis heart and his conscience with the bonds of a Jtiiitu-a- l sys- tem of eepoiuage, secrecy and proscription, which knows no parallel, even among the oath-boun- d Jacobins of the Revolutionary days of France. The Democracy and the National men of all parties deem it not nec essary to bind themselves to the Constitution and the Union by a secret ritnal and a trio of oaths and obligations they feel that a love of Country a devotion to the Constitution and the Union, a loyal Patriotism are princi- ples inherent in their heart?, inspired by the nobleness and excellence of our governmen- tal fabric, and the purity of our glorious insti- tutions. They leave oaths and obligations, and midnight -- councils, and treasonable de- fections to those who know no love of liber- ty those who have no principles except the five loaves and two fishes who aro willing and ready to sacrifice all of Republicanism and true Americanism to ungodly thirst for omVe. The rotton old hulk of Know NothingUm is fad settling in the sea of public contempt the breakeia of the people's are making clean breaches over it the crew have nearly all perished the pilot gone and the wretches who still cling to the wreck are crying in piteous tones for deliverance from their peril for rescue from the infamous grave which yawr.s lefore them. Every whera in the southern purt of the State, are tha Jinnest and the yooif, who have been inveigled into the midnight dens of this most unholy order, deserting the Lodges, fleeing from thorn as rata from a burning barn. Sam is Wing most certainly sacrificed upon the altar of public indignation, and his base leaders will soon l consigned to the same political oblivion from whence they sprang; but they will long be remembered by the American people as Bekepict Aesold is by them, w illing for gold, for the spoils of office, to sell their conntry to the highest bidder to dissolve the ties of the Union in order to bring to their support a party of rec-kle- s Abolitionists who have burn the j of Natal Pay of her existence who have de-- 1 alnut nouceed the Bible as a Lie the Union us an Alliance with Hell ! THE MEETING OF FRIDAY NIGHT. Fridav the ! attend it lion in the yard, to the number of about 1,500,, and were addressed by Ctrcs F. Cttb-hie- k, Esq., of Attica, and A. J. Boove, Esq., of Boone county. The cpeeeh Mr. C was one of sound ar- gument and logical deduction. He showed conclusively how inconsistent was Know Nothingism with Republicanism how per- fectly irreconcilable were its with thos taught by Washington, J efferson, Mad- ison, Monroe, and Jackson. That if that party succeeded in the coming elections and their meaMires engrafted uion our statute look-- , civil war anarchy would reign, whefe peace and order now prevail. He poke at length upon the evil lnnuences of consistency of principle, a straight-forwar- d j secret roimcai organizations, and denounced in. luiKu.-jiMnu- nuu lur uoiu ami As to of promotion of reluctantly, his awakening subverting our an indignation principles Iv avowal of inculcated bv the in-- !

C. was frequently interrupted the cheer- ing of the assembled multitude, and speech was one of ability arnl of great ellect. After Mr. CrnniER had concluded. A. G. Boose. Esq., of Boone county, loudly called for; and taking the stand he entertain- ed his hearers for a short time with a most excellent Rcech. He referred to the Demo- cratic party as the great National Party of the Union. In the infancy of the Republic, when Federalism ran rampant over the land, and the enemies of the Government were preach- ing treason Rgainat the Constitution, giving "aid and comfort" to the enemies of the young Republic, this party was organized by Jeffer- son, Monroe and Madison, and around the standard reared by it, rallied the good men and true of the Nation the lovers of the Union the friends of Civil and Religions Liberty thoso men who were in favor of preserving Nationality, and Nation's the Fathers of the Thus by the gallant heroes of a gallant the Democratic Party began to spread its influ- ences and extend its strength, until finally it got tossession of the great heart of the Na-tit- n and then an era in cur Na- tion's history, which has truly leen denom inated the era good timea and heroic to 20, achievements. Since that time, with , the National Government has lwen administered by Ruler?, and her progress in glory, and greatness, and im- portance, financial, commercial, political, mor.il, social and intellectual, has marked the brighest epoch in the world's annals. And now government stood at the hea 1 of the refined nations of the world. Do the people want to change this policy . Are they willing to cast aside the old an 2 tried and true, and try a new experiment in government ? He thought not, Thiousrhout the whole speech the speaker retained the fixed attention of his hearers. His speech was one full of genuine patriotism, of true, unadulterated Americanism. It was received with acclamations of delight, and produced the happiest effect upon all who heard it Tiik Mf.etixo ont SaTraOAV Tns Pao- - cF..siof P.an.vkiw, Mrstc, SrEKCHES, ETC. Saturday morning dawned roseate ami clear, the balmy air inspiring the system with vi- gor, and the bright sua shedding his golden rays over the beautiful town and its snoun.l- - 2:nce adding new lustre to the sweetnoas of the delightful scenery of Crawfordsville.. And then the wide-mouthe- d forth its loud thunder a note for all the States arousing the people from their slum- bers, and filling the streets with crowds of men, women and children, all filled with en- thusiastic ardor and impatient for the hour of the organization of the Convention to arrive. As early as 8 o'clock the delegations from tho various townships in the county began to arrive. The first delegation " from Wayne Vp., consisting of a long procession of over fity wagons, several of which cont lined band3 of music, and all of which were decorated with banners or hickory t wigs, One wagon contained thirty-si- x young ladien, young, roneate, and and each bearing a banner inscribed, " Ihe. L'nioi Now auJ Forever." In this "delegation were several banners illustrative of the "prin- ciple of Sam. One them represented a burning house, occupied by an Irishman, but fired by a Know Nothing, who stood out- side with gun in hand, to shoot the d d foreigners as they escajted from the flames. The motto on the banner was "We'll have mercij on you Foreigners." The Wayne Township Rangers, a fine lookiug and well drilled military company, accompanied this procession. They numbered 53 men, and were handsomely uniformed. Union Township came next, with thirty-fiv- e wagons, some of them containing over thirty ersons. They bore a large number of banners, and the National Flag floated from a long hickory tree on a at the head of the procession. The banners were aintel with devices of the K, N. Order. lurning houses, murdered men, killing innocent women and babes, and similar scenes. Ona banner represented the Pope chasing somo twenty gallant and brave Amer- icans, whrt were fleeing for refuge to the arms of a big, double-breaste- d wench, who stood with open arms to receive her terrified white brethren under tho domicil of Abolitionism. Next came the Invincible Guards, a splen- didly uniformed and mot excellently drilled military company, followed by the from Coal Creek Township. This Town- ship hail thirty-eigh- t wagons, besides a large number of horsemen, in procession. It bore a large number of Flags the stare and stripes, besides many banners with devices showing up the K. N.s and the workings of their order. The delegation was headed by the Attica Brass Band. The other Townahij in the County were soon uion the ground, each delegation with its banners, music, and other aphranalia of enthusiastic Democratic meetings, and all were marched to a vacant square of about six acres in tho South part of the town, where the procession was formed, headed by the Banner Band of the State, the New Albany Saxe-llorn- s, and immense crowd march- ed to the stirring notes of music, to the ground west of town where the seats stands had been erected for tho accommodation of the This gTOve contained alout five or six acres of ground, and so large was the crowd that it was filled full with the masses. The Convention was then called to order lion. Jos. E. McDonald, who, after stating the object of the meeting to be for the pur- pose of nominating County officers to be voted for at the October election bv the Democracy of Montgomery county, and for the purpose consultation and friendly greeting among tho Democrats of the various townships of the county, he moved that the following gentlemen act as oQicers of the Convention, and upon the putting of the question they were all unanimously elected: President-lio- n. SWANN BROOKSHIRH Vice Presidents (One from each town- ship) James Allex, of Brown; C. John-so- y, of Union; David Suali.on, of Scott; D. D. Nicnor.ftoy, of Clarke; Samcf.l R.

Corbih, of Sugar Creek; Taos. ed Constitution of their country on the Michaf.i.s, nf Franklin; Tuos. Wilson, or to our our It atlksj (hi ah. E. Bowes.

Each of these men are well qualified for the various offices to which they have been nominated. Tho Convention pledged to theiu their undivided support tho nnited vote of the Democratic party of the county. That they will Ihj triumphantly elected, the assemblage of Saturday and the enthusiasm j there manifested, is a certain indication. The Convention then passed a resolution fully endorsing the Resolutions passed by the Democracy at the State Mans Convention at indianapolis, on the 20th of August, and and the platform of the Baltimore Conventions of 'IS and '52. Lieut. Gov. Wii-Laro- , Indiana's most gift- ed son and orator, was then introduced to the Convention, by lion. Jos. E. the immense assemblage received him with "three times throe," which made tha old woods echo and o for hundreds of yards around. The Governor had spoken the day before at Mt. Vernon, and bv an accident on the New Albany and Salem Railroad, he was compelled to take a carriage at Greencastle, in order to reach Crawfordsville in time for the meeting, lie hail ridden most of the night, and was consequently much fatigued and exhausted. He was rejoiced to behold before him such an immense assemblage of the citizens of In- diana, and he regretted that he was so much exhausted as to lie unable to make them such a sjioech as ho would desire. Yet the great questions agitating the public mind, were of such vast importance, that the true patriot would be derelict in his duty to hii country, were he to refuse to raise his voice and cry aloud to the people, and joint ont to them the rock?, the phoals, and quicksands upon which our good 6hip of state must soon strand nnless rescued from her perilous danger by the patriotic and the genuine friends of the Constitution and lTnin. What was the present condition of affairs? We were told last year that if the people would change their rulers, and put into pow lr A new set of men, thit there would be a ANA AT TWO vast change for the better in the affain of out State. By the combination of a secret oath-loiin- d order with all the fags and ends and isms of the day, tho Democracy were defeat- ed, and these new reformers, these patrons of morals and models of good goveinrnent had been placed in jower the bright sun ol Democracy was for the time-bein- g obscured by clouds. Cut after these men had got into power, what did they do towards legislating the State into that political millenium prom- ised by thein? Nothing! Literally, nothing! They Veto not the hold advocates of Reform in the Legislative Halls which it was told us from the stump they would be. They pro- posed no new measure of State policy, advo- cated no new principle of Reform, nor even acted boldly and openly upon old issues. They had proved conclusively by their do-nothi- ng policy, that to trust them again with power would bo fatal to the le.st interests of the State. They had prrqosed an Bill ; but suclt a bill. They were determin- ed to gerrymander tho State into Know Noth- ingism when their brasH-knuc- k, house-burnin- g r.r.Tunier,ts failed to the excellencies of thatdelectaole iutumion But their Bill failed to pass. And why? Because tho Bill was a bill of inconsistencies, of abominable outrages and of the greatest unfairness. Democratic counties were to be attached to Know Nothing counties, and the Democratic party thus be shorn of its strength. And the bill would have leen at unconstitutional one had it passed. The county of Dubois was left out of the bill. She was to have no because, perhaps, a large proportion of her citizens were foreigners. This Bill wa3 but a fair spec- imen of the balance of tho bills proposed by this Fusion, Know Nothing, Abolition Leg- islature. Thero was tho election of a United States Senator also. Who did this new party propose to represent the Union-lovin- g, the State of Indiana in the Senate of the United States? An Abolition- ist a sectional, biotted, illiberal man. He, with his fellow Senators, a noble band ol twenty-si- x men of nerve and had resolved that the fair fame of our flour- ishing State should not be tarnished by so foul a blot. They had put off the election they had taken an appeal from this Fusion Legislature to the ieople and upon their decision would they stand or fall. He would, ho had told his fellow Senators, stand or fall with them on this issue he preferred politi- cal death to political dishonor. This Legislature had given us one law the Temperance Law a law which prevented many of the men then listening to him from sitting upon a jury in a cae involving the issue of a quart of whisky a law which destroyed the legal and constitu- tional right to enjoy property a law which opened the citizen's parlor, his bed-chamb- er and private apartments to the minions of law that they might search, seize, confiscate and destroy his property 0:1 the mo3t trivial evi- dence a law which forced a man to prove himself innocent instead of making his pros- ecutors prove him guilty a law, in Bhort, as oppressive and odious, as it is unjust and un- constitutional. And yet, because the State Democratic Convention did not pass resolu- tions in reference to this Temperance Law, thereby seemingly, at least, dictating to the Supreme Court, in whoso hands it now is, and whose decision for or against, will soon be given to the people, theso Abolition Know Nothing, Fusion Reformers have raised a great cry. The decision of the Court in the cose will be suprome for himself ho would be willing to bo governed by it, let the decision le pro orcoJi. But should the Court decide it what a howl wouhl Fusionism send up? They teach the eople to despise tho Constitution and the laws; they will not hesitate to denounce those whose province it is to sit upon and decide the Constitutionality of those laws. Gov. W. then spoke of the questions of slavery, tho Missouri Compromise, and the positions occupied upn these questions by tho Democratic p rty and the party of iaras opposed to it. He proved by the highest au- thorities that the position of the Democratic party on these questions was in consonance with the views entertained by most of the old Fathers and distinguished Statesmen of the Republic. He read the letter of Mr. Jkfkkr- - 5of in opposition to the Missouri Compro mise, and showed therefrom that tne princi- ples of with this question of slavery was a favorite principle of tho au- thor of the Declaration of the sago of Motiticello. That this principle, as embodied in the Nebraska-Kansa- s Bill, was the true policy to tw pursued in reference to the question of slavery. Sectional parties were the bane of of the Union. They would be denounced by all true Republicans by all honest patriots. This part of his ppeech was the most eloquent, and convincing apeal we have yet heard upon the slavery question. His exposition of the perniciousness of Know Nothingism was as couvincing of its rotten- ness and corruption, as it was eloquent ami life-lik- e. The whole speech, in fact, was a master effort of a master mind, and we regret exceedingly our want of space to give it iu full. We may, hereafter, publish further ex- tracts from it. Gov. W. was frequentlj' interrupted by the most enthusiastic applause, and his speech throughout was received with the greatest demonstrations of delight. Hon. S. II. Bcbeiek, of Ehwmlngton, fol- lowed Gov. W., in a speech of great power and eloquence. His speech was the strongest argument we have yet heard against the isms of the f ictional opposition. The two points of controversy, he said, between the Demo- cratic and Fusion parties, are the Slavery and Know Nothing questions. On the former, the Democratic party maintained tho only tru National 'and Republican ground. They were steadfast in their adherence to the prin- ciple of the only National position to le assumed on tho question. This was the doctrine of Jefferson, of Jack- son, of Cais, of Clay, of Webster, and, in fact, of all the leading and distinguished states- man of the old Whig and of the Democratic parties. The Fusion party, however, occupy the most ultra sectional grounds. They op-o- se tho right of the peoplo in the Statea or Territories to settle the question they take the power out of the people's hands and place it iu the hands of Congress; curtailing tho lilerties of the people in the settlement of a question in which they were deeply in- terested. Tho Fusionists were for tho restoration of the Missouri Compromise. Jefferson was opposed to this it virtually gave up territory to slavery which might otherwise le free. He quoted from Jefferson and others, against the building up of sec tional parties in the country. They were tho certain fore-runne- n of a dissolution of the bonds of National Union now exiting between the Statos. The North, the Fiikionists told us, de manded a restoration of the Missouri Com- promise. The North, he asserted, had al ways opposed that Compromise. A majority of the Northern members in the Congress that passed it, voted against it the vote was 70 for and 93 against it, the latter being the entire' Northern vote. In 18.16 Arkansas applied for admission; and John Q. Adams offered an amendment to the bill refusing her admission, tcau$e her LonstituUon providad for slavery. The amendment received 52 Northern votes. In 1847, when the territory of Oregon was oranbed, the Wilmot Proviso was sought to 1)0 applied tj it, and Mr. Burt offered an amendment inasmuch as the territory all laid North of 30 SO". But ther? were 113 Northern votes against the amendment. In 134S the same amendment was offered STATE parsed th Senate, but was deleated in the House by Northern votes. On the 13th June, 1850, Mr. Douglas of- fered a resolution to extend the Missouri Compromise to all the territory acquired from Mexico, lying South of 3ti, 30, but it was de- feated by Northern votes. This showed whether the declaration ol the Fusiunists, that the North wanted the Missouri Compromise restored, was true. Throughout the argument of the whole slavery issue, Mr. B. adduced the documents and facts to prove his assertions, and in de- fence of tho policy of the Democratic party. In reference to Know Nothingism, he was equally convincing. He showed the princi- ples of the Order to lm at war with Edigbn. and Morality debasing to the American people, and productive of the greatest evils. It arrayed neighbor against neighbor father against son family against family. It lead to bloodshed, riot and an- archy. Its principles were Jesuitical, and its operation destructive of confiderce between man and man.'-Th- e good man it swore to f alsify ivor.l it brought together in Svveet i lV miniver of tha Gospel and the ilcba ictS jga'oond; v. hos.3 every second word was a blasphemy of his Maker's name it united in the ties of sworn friendship the re- ligious and debased. It was a glomerate mass of pollution and knavery having no equal in political annals. The people would repudiate such a party, at the ballot hot. The)- - would ne, ver consent to the subversion of our Republican princi- ples and organization by such a gang of polit- ical apostates. Throughout Mr. B.'s .speech, which was two hour's long, he was listened to with the greatest interest, and his speech did much to convince the Itonest opjonents of Democracy of the error of their way. Mr. Carlton, of the Bloomington News Letter, followed Mr. B.in an eloquent and ef- fective speech. The Convention then adjourned, amid the greatest enthusiasm and good feeling, every Democrat determined to go manfully into the battle, and never lay aside his armor until vic- tory crowned his efforts. THE MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT- - m At on SaturJay night about 1,000 persons assembled in front of the Court-hous- e to listen to a Bpcech from our young and eloquent Rich- ard Rtak, Esq. Wo were too unwell to at- tend at the meeting, but have been assured that Mr. R.'s speech was one full of elo- quence and truth, a scathing rebuke to Know Nothingism and Abolitionism. The speech was highly by tho leading cit- izens of Crawfordsville, as one among the best political speeches of the campaign in that count)-- . At a late hour in th evening, the meeting adjourned amid tho firing of cannon and the burning of bonfires. Old Montgomery is aroused; liko a young lion she is "shaking herself," and "every Know Nothing in the county feels that his day of political death has come.

Jf.ffersojjvillk, Sept. 10, 185G. lion. J!'. IT. Wick Dear Sir: Your favor of the 17th August was duly received, a copy of which I find published in the Weekly State Sentinel of the 23d. I would have an- swered it now, but I have been con- fined to my room by sickness, and I thus hasten to snatch the first hour of returning strength to express my gratitude for your esteem. I sincerely regret the alienation from the Church to which you refer, and the more so ns you are not alone therein. You are one of a large and respectable class of citizens, mem-ler- s of the several Churches, who have been unfavorably affected by Know Nothingism; the members of which may lo safely com- puted at ten thousand in the State of Indiana, the majority of whom are members of our own Church. There were eighty thousand democratic votes cast at the last election ; the religious portion of thoso men, together with many who voted with the triumphant party, are now disaffected with the aiders and apol- ogists of Know Nothings, who are found, you think, mainly among the protestant ministry. In this conjecture I think you are mistaken ; and must be permitted to hold that but a fraction, a very pmall fraction of such are ad- hering to the Know Nothings. I may be wrong, but still I must think the. charge un- just, which -- represents the majority of the . . . - :. XT V.uf J pruieauiut miuiairjr iu auuw Atoiiiiugn, uiu as such active political partisans that such is the universal opinion I know, and I am not surprised that you should hold it but we must not forget that whilst politicians of one party mako this charge, because aggrieved by the "secret politicians of the opposite rurty desire to preserve and perpetuate this impression for effect on the coming elections, and this we may expect them to do, regard- less of the spiritual havoc that such a popu- lar sentiment may make in the ranks of the relisioua members of vour party. You must not expect nuch men to care much bow far the feeling of religious alienation extends amongst your political friends, or how deep it becomes, as it is not their business to make men religious, but to carry their party into power. !'

What 1 to say is that no true minister of Christ, can see eight or ten men in each county in this State, alienated from the church of God, possibly forever, carrying their meanness into their families and amongst their kindred, without casting up a ieligious account of profit and loss, after an election as one we have just passed through and the question must recur, how much did it cost our fathers in the ministry to attach those old men and their families to the faith, and how much has the causa cf religion gained R3 an offset for this loss. That something has been gained in secur- ing a good temperance system, or the basis of such a system, is not to be doubted; and we must present this issue as an apology for much that has been said and done by roli- - nuu uiiuisin.i uu uiz ivni vear. i mt. .t ne reiorti oi uommis. i . .. . r t - l . ... i . u. . or division. been iire-hk- e moral i.re- - dominates, such a measure could have l r.

But we do not porrow over the past loss to church, as much as the future, vhi!e compiling for that political having the Vear. This energy of the public mind, when under the influence of moral appliances, now seek to keep up the same system of tactics, by drag-in- g in the religious question, and rousing the public mind against men of foreign birth, and our Catholic neighbors. With the light I have on the subject, I for ona am not ready for that kind of work, and I to say so iu clear terms, and if my friends quar- rel with me for it, they must quarrel on. But to return to the question of "profit loss" what are we to gain as a christian community by keeping up the system of tactics which will throw the political power of the christian one of!

Love of ToreigneTs and Papacy.Every "Fusion" sheet from liaise to

Texa3? from Massachusetts to Oregon, ia filledwith the awful charge Lat the " OU Liners "love foreigner? and pipists it is surprisingLow the Democracy can survive such an aw-

ful charge. It is related of Mahomet that he

told hi people there was a part in every hogwhich, must iiot be eaten by any of the faith-

ful, but left them completely iu the daik asto th locale of the prohibited prut. Someiniagina it is the tip end of the tail, some thehoofs, tc, until there are a many differentopinions alut the part in question as thereare parti to a hog, but the hog is all eaten up.In some parts of the country a n,r4titant for-

eigner is received into the loving embrace oflie Republicau(?) party, iu other parts a

uativ Catholic is taken. So taking the Unionas a whole the Republican?) swallow thewhole hoji .

It is oca of the wonders of the ae that sucha party as the Republican (?) party can existin tha nineteenth century ; and it is quite

hear gentlemen of the capacityand character of tha lite lamented WilliamPools, Esq., and the valiant General JosephHisa, talking of the necessity of preservingthis country and the Protestant Church from

the insidious wiles of the Scarlet Woman.We see it stated in an exchange, that the nat-

ural leva of Massachusetts for Republicanism(?) is accounted for through the intelligenceof her people and their natural hatred of Ca-

tholicism. Republicanism (?) may then ledefined to be a natural hatred ol Catholicism,

a desire for burning nunneries, and an intenseitching to irtff ect the wardrobes of defonse-les- a

wonvm. The party may emphatically

be termed the CloOtts Line Party.The rveas of the Clothes Line Party will

not discriminate between a love of foreignersand papacy, and an unwillingness to see them

persecuted. Every one is willing to agreeupon the fact that this country is and ought

to be, tha home of the oppressed of every na-

tion. Evary ona is of the opinion that noreligion test should lw made. Tint when

the oppressed" arrive, the Republican (?)party would constantly cast into their teeththe facUhit they were cot to tin M manor

born."A negro, according to Republican logic, is

as good as a white man ; but an intelligentforeigner is not. Mr. Gabrisox, the Rev.

Thso. Parxer, and gentlemen of that ilk,

who almost deny the existence of a God, aregood citizens ; but an humble, honest, pious,

consistent christian, wh. happens to Imj a Ro-

man Catholic, is not to be trusted .

If people believed that the leaders and ed-

itors of the clothes-lin- o party were sincere,they might weep over the insanity and idiocy

of so respectable a portion of the community;but it is pretty well understood, that theirndigion and philanthropy have a considerable

amount of gammon in them.The idea that this Republic U to be over

turned by a respectable old gentleman in

Roma (who by the way is pictured in somecluftes-lin- s publications as a fierce looking chnp.rushing with a cross at a very fast looking

young man who is supposed to be America-"- -

looking daggers at the youth, whilst the youth

leaning against a book, looks as boys do when

they put their thumUi to their noses saying"No you don't !") who wears long dressesand can hardly keep bis seat in a very com-

fortable chair, which he u su prosed t. pos-

sess ia ridiculous iu the extreme and theidea that a few thousands of Irish and Ger-

mans, who com here every year, are going

to pull down the Capitol and turn tho whole

Union into a Donnybrook fair or a Turners

Gymnasium is also ridiculous.

Because the Democratic iarty does notchoose to rush into these extremes it U bran-

ded as a popery-lovin- g foreigner-embracin- g

yrty. By tho way, the clothes-liner- s ought

not to talk about Democrats loving Papists,when tho clothes-lin-o Governor of Kentucky

has, if we mistake not, married ttro papists.

The clothes-line- s aro strikingly like thechameleon which changes is hue to suit its.location. And when in future years some

antiquary shall write the history of the pre-

sent century, he will mention as the two greathumbugs of the time's, Barnum' baby showand the clothes-lin- e party.

lant Democracy of Old Montgomery a daywhich will long be remembered by them as

the occasion of the largest gathering of thePeople the hntutf People and the most en-

thusiastic outpouring and assemblage of thehard tilted yeomanry of the good old Dem- -

ociaiii: p'Hty, ever witnessed iu this section

of the Iloosier State. ".

The clarion cotes of the trump of Libertyare ringing and reverberating through thehills and valleys of Southern ami South-Wes-te- rn

Indiana calling upon our people to armanil come up to the great Kittle for our Coun-

try's cause our Country's Constitution ourNational Union. And the shrill sounds arcfinding an echo in every Democratic heartare tha honest masses to the Immi-

nent peril of the Confederacy from the fanat-

icisms of Abolitionism, and the still morefearful machinations of that oath-boun- d fac-

tion which has been conceived in sin, bronghtforth in iniquity, a;id is spreading its

treaor.3 throughout the land, underthe name of Americanism. We rejoice, how-

ever, that the corrupt faction has not, norwill not succeed in our Govern-ment, and rearing in its srfead their aoctional,anarchial rule.

The peo.le are aroused against these mid-

night plotters these Catalinian conspiratorsthese lollntors of our young men and de-bose- rs

of old these hirelings of a cor-

rupt system which would rob the Americancitizen of his character for bold independ-

ence, and fetter his mind, bis heart and hisconscience with the bonds of a Jtiiitu-a- l sys-

tem of eepoiuage, secrecy and proscription,which knows no parallel, even among theoath-boun- d Jacobins of the Revolutionarydays of France. The Democracy and theNational men of all parties deem it not necessary to bind themselves to the Constitutionand the Union by a secret ritnal and a trio ofoaths and obligations they feel that a loveof Country a devotion to the Constitutionand the Union, a loyal Patriotism are princi-

ples inherent in their heart?, inspired by thenobleness and excellence of our governmen-tal fabric, and the purity of our glorious insti-

tutions. They leave oaths and obligations,and midnight -- councils, and treasonable de-

fections to those who know no love of liber-

ty those who have no principles except thefive loaves and two fishes who aro willingand ready to sacrifice all of Republicanismand true Americanism to ungodly thirstfor omVe.

The cpeeeh Mr. C was one of sound ar-

He showedconclusively how inconsistent was KnowNothingism with Republicanism how per-fectly irreconcilable were its withthos taught by Washington, J efferson, Mad-ison, Monroe, and Jackson.

After Mr. CrnniER had concluded. A. G.Boose. Esq., of Boone county, loudlycalled for; and taking the stand he entertain-ed his hearers for a short time with a mostexcellent Rcech. He referred to the Demo-cratic party as the great National Party of theUnion. In the infancy of the Republic, whenFederalism ran rampant over the land, andthe enemies of the Government were preach-ing treason Rgainat the Constitution, giving"aid and comfort" to the enemies of the youngRepublic, this party was organized by Jeffer-son, Monroe and Madison, and around thestandard reared by it, rallied the good men andtrue of the Nation the lovers of the Unionthe friends of Civil and Religions Libertythoso men who were in favor of preserving

And then the wide-mouthe-d

forth its loud thunder a note for all theStates arousing the people from their slum-

bers, and filling the streets with crowds ofmen, women and children, all filled with en-

thusiastic ardor and impatient for the hour ofthe organization of the Convention to arrive.

As early as 8 o'clock the delegations fromtho various townships in the county began toarrive. The first delegation " from WayneVp., consisting of a long procession of overfity wagons, several of which cont lined band3of music, and all of which were decoratedwith banners or hickory t wigs, One wagoncontained thirty-si- x young ladien, young,roneate, and and each bearinga banner inscribed, " Ihe. L'nioi NowauJ Forever." In this "delegation wereseveral banners illustrative of the "prin-ciple of Sam. One them representeda burning house, occupied by an Irishman,but fired by a Know Nothing, who stood out-side with gun in hand, to shoot the d dforeigners as they escajted from the flames.The motto on the banner was "We'll havemercij on you Foreigners." The WayneTownship Rangers, a fine lookiug and welldrilled military company, accompanied thisprocession. They numbered 53 men, andwere handsomely uniformed.

Union Township came next, with thirty-fiv- e

wagons, some of them containing overthirty ersons. They bore a large number ofbanners, and the National Flag floated froma long hickory tree on a at thehead of the procession. The banners wereaintel with devices of the K, N. Order.lurning houses, murdered men, killing

innocent women and babes, and similarscenes. Ona banner represented the Popechasing somo twenty gallant and brave Amer-

icans, whrt were fleeing for refuge to the armsof a big, double-breaste- d wench, who stoodwith open arms to receive her terrified whitebrethren under tho domicil of Abolitionism.

Next came the Invincible Guards, a splen-didly uniformed and mot excellently drilledmilitary company, followed by the

from Coal Creek Township. This Town-ship hail thirty-eigh- t wagons, besides a largenumber of horsemen, in procession. It borea large number of Flags the stare andstripes, besides many banners with devicesshowing up the K. N.s and the workings oftheir order. The delegation was headed bythe Attica Brass Band.

The other Townahij in the County weresoon uion the ground, each delegation withits banners, music, and other aphranalia ofenthusiastic Democratic meetings, and allwere marched to a vacant square of about sixacres in tho South part of the town, wherethe procession was formed, headed by theBanner Band of the State, the New AlbanySaxe-llorn- s, and immense crowd march-ed to the stirring notes of music, to the groundwest of town where the seats stands hadbeen erected for tho accommodation of the

This gTOve contained alout fiveor six acres of ground, and so large was thecrowd that it was filled fullwith the masses.

The Convention was then called to orderlion. Jos. E. McDonald, who, after stating

Each of these men are well qualified forthe various offices to which they have beennominated. Tho Convention pledged totheiu their undivided support tho nnitedvote of the Democratic party of the county.That they will Ihj triumphantly elected, theassemblage of Saturday and the enthusiasm

j there manifested, is a certain indication.The Convention then passed a resolution

fully endorsing the Resolutions passed by theDemocracy at the State Mans Convention atindianapolis, on the 20th of August, and

and the platform of theBaltimore Conventions of 'IS and '52.

Lieut. Gov. Wii-Laro- , Indiana's most gift-ed son and orator, was then introduced to theConvention, by lion. Jos. E.the immense assemblage received him with"three times throe," which made tha oldwoods echo and o for hundreds ofyards around.

The Governor had spoken the day beforeat Mt. Vernon, and bv an accident on theNew Albany and Salem Railroad, he wascompelled to take a carriage at Greencastle,in order to reach Crawfordsville in time forthe meeting, lie hail ridden most of thenight, and was consequently much fatiguedand exhausted.

He was rejoiced to behold before him suchan immense assemblage of the citizens of In-

diana, and he regretted that he was so muchexhausted as to lie unable to make them sucha sjioech as ho would desire. Yet the greatquestions agitating the public mind, were ofsuch vast importance, that the true patriotwould be derelict in his duty to hii country,were he to refuse to raise his voice and cryaloud to the people, and joint ont to themthe rock?, the phoals, and quicksands uponwhich our good 6hip of state must soon strandnnless rescued from her perilous danger bythe patriotic and the genuine friends of theConstitution and lTnin.

What was the present condition of affairs?We were told last year that if the peoplewould change their rulers, and put into pow

vast change for the better in the affain of outState. By the combination of a secret oath-loiin- d

order with all the fags and ends andisms of the day, tho Democracy were defeat-ed, and these new reformers, these patronsof morals and models of good goveinrnenthad been placed in jower the bright sun olDemocracy was for the time-bein- g obscuredby clouds. Cut after these men had got intopower, what did they do towards legislatingthe State into that political millenium prom-ised by thein? Nothing! Literally, nothing!They Veto not the hold advocates of Reformin the Legislative Halls which it was told usfrom the stump they would be. They pro-

posed no new measure of State policy, advo-

cated no new principle of Reform, nor evenacted boldly and openly upon old issues. Theyhad proved conclusively by their do-nothi-ng

policy, that to trust them again with powerwould bo fatal to the le.st interests of theState.

They had prrqosed anBill ; but suclt a bill. They were determin-ed to gerrymander tho State into Know Noth-ingism when their brasH-knuc- k,

house-burnin- g

r.r.Tunier,ts failed tothe excellencies of thatdelectaole iutumionBut their Bill failed to pass.And why? Because tho Bill was a bill ofinconsistencies, of abominable outrages andof the greatest unfairness.

Democratic counties were to be attached toKnow Nothing counties, and the Democraticparty thus be shorn of its strength. And thebill would have leen at unconstitutional onehad it passed. The county of Dubois wasleft out of the bill. She was to have no

because, perhaps, a largeproportion of her citizens were foreigners.This Bill wa3 but a fair spec-imen of the balance of tho bills proposed bythis Fusion, Know Nothing, Abolition Leg-islature. Thero was tho election of a UnitedStates Senator also. Who did this new partypropose to represent the Union-lovin- g, the

State of Indiana in theSenate of the United States? An Abolition-ist a sectional, biotted, illiberal man. He,with his fellow Senators, a noble band oltwenty-si- x men of nerve andhad resolved that the fair fame of our flour-ishing State should not be tarnished by sofoul a blot. They had put off the electionthey had taken an appeal from this FusionLegislature to the ieople and upon theirdecision would they stand or fall. He would,ho had told his fellow Senators, stand or fallwith them on this issue he preferred politi-cal death to political dishonor.

This Legislature had given us one law theTemperance Law a law which preventedmany of the men thenlistening to him from sitting upon a jury in acae involving the issue of a quart of whiskya law which destroyed the legal and constitu-tional right to enjoy property a law whichopened the citizen's parlor, his bed-chamb- er

and private apartments to the minions of lawthat they might search, seize, confiscate anddestroy his property 0:1 the mo3t trivial evi-

dence a law which forced a man to provehimself innocent instead of making his pros-ecutors prove him guilty a law, in Bhort, asoppressive and odious, as it is unjust and un-constitutional. And yet, because the StateDemocratic Convention did not pass resolu-tions in reference to this Temperance Law,thereby seemingly, at least, dictating to theSupreme Court, in whoso hands it now is, andwhose decision for or against, will soon begiven to the people, theso Abolition KnowNothing, Fusion Reformers have raised agreat cry.

The decision of the Court in the cose willbe suprome for himself ho would be willingto bo governed by it, let the decision le proorcoJi. But should the Court decide it

what a howl wouhl Fusionismsend up? They teach the eople to despisetho Constitution and the laws; they will nothesitate to denounce those whose province itis to sit upon and decide the Constitutionalityof those laws.

Gov. W. then spoke of the questions ofslavery, tho Missouri Compromise, and thepositions occupied upn these questions bytho Democratic p rty and the party of iarasopposed to it. He proved by the highest au-

thorities that the position of the Democraticparty on these questions was in consonancewith the views entertained by most of the oldFathers and distinguished Statesmen of theRepublic. He read the letter of Mr. Jkfkkr--

5of in opposition to the Missouri Compromise, and showed therefrom that tne princi-ples of with this questionof slavery was a favorite principle of tho au-

thor of the Declaration of thesago of Motiticello. That this principle, asembodied in the Nebraska-Kansa- s Bill, wasthe true policy to tw pursued in reference tothe question of slavery. Sectional partieswere the bane of of theUnion. They would be denounced by alltrue Republicans by all honest patriots.This part of his ppeech was the most eloquent,

and convincing apeal wehave yet heard upon the slavery question.His exposition of the perniciousness of KnowNothingism was as couvincing of its rotten-ness and corruption, as it was eloquent amilife-lik- e. The whole speech, in fact, was amaster effort of a master mind, and we regretexceedingly our want of space to give it iufull. We may, hereafter, publish further ex-tracts from it.

Gov. W. was frequentlj' interrupted by themost enthusiastic applause, and his speechthroughout was received with the greatestdemonstrations of delight.

Hon. S. II. Bcbeiek, of Ehwmlngton, fol-

lowed Gov. W., in a speech of great powerand eloquence. His speech was the strongestargument we have yet heard against the ismsof the f ictional opposition. The two pointsof controversy, he said, between the Demo-cratic and Fusion parties, are the Slavery andKnow Nothing questions. On the former,the Democratic party maintained tho onlytru National 'and Republican ground. Theywere steadfast in their adherence to the prin-ciple of the only Nationalposition to le assumed on tho question.This was the doctrine of Jefferson, of Jack-son, of Cais, of Clay, of Webster, and, in fact,of all the leading and distinguished states-man of the old Whig and of the Democraticparties. The Fusion party, however, occupythe most ultra sectional grounds. They op-o- se

tho right of the peoplo in the Statea orTerritories to settle the question they takethe power out of the people's hands andplace it iu the hands of Congress; curtailingtho lilerties of the people in the settlementof a question in which they were deeply in-

terested.Tho Fusionists were for tho restoration of

the Missouri Compromise. Jefferson wasopposed to this it virtually gaveup territory to slavery which might otherwisele free.

He quoted from Jeffersonand others, against the building up of sectional parties in the country. They weretho certain fore-runne- n of a dissolution ofthe bonds of National Union now exitingbetween the Statos.

The North, the Fiikionists told us, demanded a restoration of the Missouri Com-promise. The North, he asserted, had always opposed that Compromise. A majorityof the Northern members in the Congressthat passed it, voted against it the vote was70 for and 93 against it, the latter being theentire' Northern vote.

In 18.16 Arkansas applied for admission;and John Q. Adams offered an amendmentto the bill refusing her admission, tcau$eher LonstituUon providad for slavery. Theamendment received 52 Northern votes.

In 1847, when the territory of Oregon wasoranbed, the Wilmot Proviso was sought to1)0 applied tj it, and Mr. Burt offered anamendment inasmuch as the territory all laidNorth of 30 SO". But ther? were 113Northern votes against the amendment. In134S the same amendment was offered

parsed th Senate, but was deleated in theHouse by Northern votes.

On the 13th June, 1850, Mr. Douglas of-fered a resolution to extend the MissouriCompromise to all the territory acquired fromMexico, lying South of 3ti, 30, but it was de-feated by Northern votes.

This showed whether the declaration olthe Fusiunists, that the North wanted theMissouri Compromise restored, was true.

Throughout the argument of the wholeslavery issue, Mr. B. adduced the documentsand facts to prove his assertions, and in de-fence of tho policy of the Democratic party.

In reference to Know Nothingism, he wasequally convincing. He showed the princi-ples of the Order to lm at war with

Edigbn. and Morality debasing tothe American people, and productive of thegreatest evils. It arrayed neighbor againstneighbor father against son family againstfamily. It lead to bloodshed, riot and an-archy. Its principles were Jesuitical, and itsoperation destructive of confiderce betweenman and man.'-Th- e good man it swore tofalsify ivor.l it brought together in Svveet

ligious and debased. It was a glomerate massof pollution and knavery having no equal inpolitical annals.

The people would repudiate such a party,at the ballot hot. The)- - would ne, ver consentto the subversion of our Republican princi-ples and organization by such a gang of polit-ical apostates.

Throughout Mr. B.'s .speech, which wastwo hour's long, he was listened to with thegreatest interest, and his speech did much toconvince the Itonest opjonents of Democracyof the error of their way.

Mr. Carlton, of the Bloomington NewsLetter, followed Mr. B.in an eloquent and ef-fective speech.

The Convention then adjourned, amid thegreatest enthusiasm and good feeling, everyDemocrat determined to go manfully into thebattle, and never lay aside his armor until vic-

tory crowned his efforts.THE MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT- -

lion. J!'. IT. Wick Dear Sir: Your favorof the 17th August was duly received, a copyof which I find published in the Weekly

State Sentinel of the 23d. I would have an-

swered it now, but I have been con-

fined to my room by sickness, and I thushasten to snatch the first hour of returningstrength to express my gratitude for youresteem.

I sincerely regret the alienation from theChurch to which you refer, and the more sons you are not alone therein. You are one ofa large and respectable class of citizens, mem-ler- s

of the several Churches, who have beenunfavorably affected by Know Nothingism;the members of which may lo safely com-

puted at ten thousand in the State of Indiana,the majority of whom are members of ourown Church. There were eighty thousanddemocratic votes cast at the last election ; thereligious portion of thoso men, together withmany who voted with the triumphant party,are now disaffected with the aiders and apol-ogists of Know Nothings, who are found, youthink, mainly among the protestant ministry.In this conjecture I think you are mistaken ;and must be permitted to hold that but afraction, a very pmall fraction of such are ad-

hering to the Know Nothings. I may bewrong, but still I must think the. charge un-

just, which --represents the majority of the. . .- :. XT V.uf Jpruieauiut miuiairjr iu auuw Atoiiiiugn, uiu

as such active political partisans that suchis the universal opinion I know, and I amnot surprised that you should hold it but wemust not forget that whilst politicians of oneparty mako this charge, because aggrieved bythe "secret politicians of the oppositerurty desire to preserve and perpetuate thisimpression for effect on the coming elections,and this we may expect them to do, regard-less of the spiritual havoc that such a popu-

lar sentiment may make in the ranks of therelisioua members of vour party. You mustnot expect nuch men to care much bow far

the feeling of religious alienation extendsamongst your political friends, or how deepit becomes, as it is not their business to makemen religious, but to carry their party intopower. !'

to say is that no true minister of Christ,can see eight or ten men in each county inthis State, alienated from the church of God,possibly forever, carrying their meanness intotheir families and amongst their kindred,without casting up a ieligious account ofprofit and loss, after an election asone we have just passed through and thequestion must recur, how much did it costour fathers in the ministry to attach those oldmen and their families to the faith, and howmuch has the causa cf religion gained R3 anoffset for this loss.

That something has been gained in secur-ing a good temperance system, or the basis ofsuch a system, is not to be doubted; and wemust present this issue as an apology formuch that has been said and done by roli- -

energy of the public mind, when under theinfluence of moral appliances, now seek tokeep up the same system of tactics, by drag-in- g

But to return to the question of "profitloss" what are we to gain as a christiancommunity by keeping up the system oftactics which will throw the political powerof the christian one of!
