The Indiana and Illinois Central Railroad. We have before us the Second Annual I!eort of this Company, prepared ly its President, Judge Koache, who is known to all as one or the most efficient and reliable men in the community. A glance at the map showin the location of this road, and its railway connections, will satisfy every one that it is destined to be one of the greatest in the Union. The amount of land now owued by the Company is worth more than a million and a half of dollars, and it "is recommended to increase the amount to three millions by additional sul "script ions. Ileal estate is regarded as a perfectly sound and reliable basis for the

very Kst service we are able to render our party, we simply ask a lilcral and extended patronage. The I.".e7.7y Sentinel, plintcd on a large heet of fine paer, with r.ew and beautiful lrpe, COntain-S alout thirty-two columns of reading matter. It has been made and will be kept one of the lest family ncwsier of the West. With a sufticiency of orthodox political sentiment, its columns will teem also with the l.st literature and the latest new amid which will always be found the fullest telegraphic and market reports. So soon as we can be justified in the undertaking, the TV'evllg Sentinel will Ik? enlarged to the size of our mo..t extensive city journal. Our outlays, however, even at the present, are large. That we may le able, therefore, to act in our enterprise with safety, and also to command a respectable influence ; by the jvropjf'atioii of tho eternal principles' we advocate, we Must have patrons and readers. Let our friend-?, then, who desire the success of the Sentinel, under its present auspices, embrace the present moment the commencement of a new volume, to double or quadruple the list of our sulfc.crilers. Let very individual who now receives the Sentinel, take it uikui himself to procure us two or threo additional names, and, in addition to this, let all who can, procure us clubs of subscribers, at the club rates published below, and they will thus show their appreciation of our efforts in their behalf in a tangible, Democratic, Christian manner. This we claim is due from tho Democracy to ns ; it is due by the Democracy of Indiana to themselves. We will look for, and cxject with certainty, a response to this call.

decided talent and industry. We hail the ail vent of the Fbij, as a r finer emblazoned with the bold principles of Democracy, as an auspicious omen to our party in Fulton county and the Ninth Congressional District, The Opposition, in days past, have forestalled us there by the excessive number of their incendiary publications. As a consequence we say o consequence, for upon the tone of the public press depends the morality of the public sentiment as a

consequence, the district has been dishonored by the election to a seat in our National Congress, ( f the most consummate demagogue, built on a small scale, that Indiana can shame herself with ever having produced. Let the true men of the North support lilx'rally, not only the Flag, but every paper among them which fearlessly espouses the cause of Democracy, and boldly defends the Consti tution of the Union; and the fetid breath of Know Nothinism, issuing from dark and subterranean dens, will fail to infect with .- litical heresy anil bigot proscription, the young and unsuspecting devotees of principle. As the miasmas of our bogs and quagmires may enter into our lungs and mix with and corrupt our blood, where no neutralizing element is administered, so the putriscent atmosphere which arises unseen from the dank ghoul-haunted caverns of the secret jolitical conspirators in our midst, may, if not closely guarded against, Insinuate itself lurkingly upon ns, and with it bring its ever accoinjanying mental and moral leprosy.

Uniformity of Currency and of Weights and Measures throughout the World. Philosophers have often speculated on a universal language, a most, desirable, but not

very practicable thing. Misg Edoewobth, if

we recollect aright, makes it, in her admirable story of " Patronage," a subject of interest to

Mr. Percy, and the plot is partly dejendent on the recondite knowledge hf has acquired

in his researches. The next best thing to a

universal litnguage is a uniform svsteru of

weights, measures anil money. The value ol

such a scheme did not escaie the all-embra

cing genius of Xapoi.kon. It was a frequent topic of meditation with him, and his plans would undoubtedly have lcen accomplished

but for the disasters of his career. What he conceived as a sort of recompense for war and a general dictatorship in Europe, the present

age mav execute bv i-eaceable means. We

heartily endorse the following from the New

York Tribune :

That is a most admirable proposition which has l)eeii introduced in the British Parliament

to hold a Congress of all nations, for the pur

pose of agreeing uion a common system of

money, weights and measures. There is no

good reason for the present universal discord

in these reiects. The affairs of the world

would bo transacted with infinitely gieater

ease and lenefit if the measures of value and

of quantity were uniform in all countries. Now, the traveler from the United States

must begin bv converting his American

money into sterling for England, then into francs for France, next into thaler and florins

for Germany, and so on, losing something, of

course, at every changtt. So too you may buy

merchandise by one kinu of measure at Moscow, another at Vienna, another at Paris, and

a fourth at London. All this Is quite absurd,

and without the least benefit, either persona

or patriotic, to any individual or nation except

the money-changers and mnldle-mcn. In

deed, it seems preposterous to talk of the age

as intelligent in which such a rude elementary form of international disunity is needlessly preserved. The Kinney Expedition. We oWrvc by an advertisement in another column of the Sun, that Col. Kinney's Nicarague Exiedition has not Wen exploded by the prosecution or jersecution to which the Colonel has been exposed. On the contrary, the exterprise, if delayed by the unwarranted hostility shown to it in some official quarters, has won new friends through the great publicity it has acquired, and tho confidence in its legality which the discussion has established. rJ( Indeed it is a most preposterous assumption that Americans may not associate to emigrate to places beyond the territory of the

07" Our neighbors again attempt to screen themselves lxdiind great names. Washington placed his signature to the law of 7;, and therefore it is both right and constitutional, and this in the face of the fact that some provisions of the act have len pronounced unconstitutional. And if Washington erred on some of the provisions of that law, ho may also have erred on others. Dut neither Va.-h-ington nor Judge Story, whom the Sentinel also claims as authority, ever gave sanction U

such principles as are contained in sme of the principles of the present Fugitive Act, nndnosane man can believe they ever would. Indeed it is by no means certain that Judge Story believed the more objectionable provisions of the law of IT'J.'J were constitutional. In the INigg case, to which reference is so fre quently made, the question of the constitutionality of tho law was not considered, the only questional issue being solely in reference to the net of Pennsylvania. The alove i an extract from an editorial in the Journal of the 15th inst., in reply to one

of our own on the Fugitive Slave Law and Judge Lorin'o. To be candid, we had hojd to have dropt the subject with our lat article. Judge J-onixu, contrary to our exitec-

tations, has not leen removed, and we feel complacent ; besides, the weather is warm,

md the topic not very interesting, we fear,

to our readers. - But not to say something,

would le discourteous to our intelligent and

gentlemanly ueigI.bors,as well as to our friends

of the Madison Courier and Banner who have

asailed us about the same piece.

la lite first place, tw cannot be seduced by

the challenge of the Journal into any attempt to defend the institution of slavery. We do not intend to le drawn off into making any Mich false issue. That would !c as foolish us

it would have leen for the Russians to have

abandoned the impregnable protection of

C'ronstadt, and come out to tight Sir Chaki.ks

Napier in the ojen sea. Our C'ronstadt, our impregnable fortress, is the Constitution of the I'nitcd States. Securely shielded by that,

we bid defiance to all pirates and disturbers of the peace and order of society.

What most surprises us is thelolJ assertion

of our friends that, in the Tit-oa case, the

ptestion of the constitutionality of the law

was not considered.

"The constitutionality of the law was not

considered." This is really a veiy marvelous assertion. We are confident that the editors

of the Journal have forgotten the ioints of

the case of Priygi v. the Qnimontcealth of

Penwylcania. 10 Peters p. 53'J. for- we

have too much respect for them to supjiose for

a moment that they would have made the alove statement with that case before them.

If they will refer to it they will find that

Judge Story.wI.o delivered the opinion of the

Court, after stiting the uniformity of acqui

escence in the validity of the law by the various State Courts, and especially naming the

decisious in New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, (we beg the Journal to bear

iu mind the Massachusetts decisiors) proceeds

as follows:

But we do not wish to rest our present

opinion upon the ground either of contempo

raneous exiosition, or long acquiesce uce, or

even practical action; neither do we mean to

admit the question to be of a doubtful nature, and therefore as properly calling for the aid of such considerations. On the contrary, our

judgment would be the same, if the question

were entirely new, ami tne act oi uongress were of recent enactment. We JkJJ the act to

U clearly Constitutional in all its leading provisions, ami, indeed, with the exception of thatpart, which confers authority upon state magistrates, to be free from reasonable douU and difficulty upon the grounds already stated.

As to the authority so conferred upon the

state magistrates, while a difference of opin

ion has existed, and may exist still on tne

point, in different states, whether state magistrates are bound to act under it, none is enter

tained bv this Court, that state magistrates may,iftliey choose, exercise that authori'y,

unless prohibited by state legislation."

Iu answer to the vague and unsatisfactory testimony of Mr. Wm. Stort,' ai quoted by

the Journal from the life of Judge Stokv, let us hear what Judge Story himself aavs

of the hour warmed into life by the. legal labors of Story, and yet, with the perttf ss of the lly on the wheel, insolently criticizing the great lumiuary of the law. Rut it is idle to argue with an alxilitionsheet, like the Journal, on a legal, question connected with slavery. What does the Journal CArc for the Judiciary or its decisions? We are ready to abide by the judgment of the Supreme Court, and if that tribunal pronounees the existing Fugitive Slave Law unconstitutional, we should Imj most pmnpt to retract all we have said iu its favor, and to express our exceeding regret that it was cer executed in even the imperfect and inefficient manner which has Invn allowed by the spirit of the community in the free states. Will the Journal sustain the action of the Judiciary ? We do not ask for information; we put the interrogatory as a joke. We ki ow that it will not. Next winter the Supreme Court, in the case from Wisconsin and Some ithers now lie fore it, will determine the constitutionality of the present law. We proclaim in advance our readiness tosust.iin their decision. Will the Journal do the same ? We predict that in imitation of the New York Tribune, it will howl vituperation against the Judiciary, prox.sc elections by the jjcoplc, and compare judges to post-masters, removable by tho executive. Yes ! the spirit of fanaticism has already reached that yct of insane destructiveness, when respectable paers are anxious to annihilate a co-ordinate branch of the government, and convert the well-balanced republi

canism of America into the unbrilled license cf Athenian democracy which give the poisoned Clip to Socrates, or into the still more ferocious (.quality of the French Convention which guillotined Madame Roland. An independent Judiciary is the bulwark of freedom, because it is the guardian and protector of our laws. This bulwark the Addition maniacs would tlestroy. I.ut why this hue and cry in favor of Jury trial ? Is it to secure a faithful jerfomiance of tho covenants of the Constitution or is it to nullify, and destroy them? The Aboli

tionists know

shore side. The observations of the Survey have, also, clearly established the existence of a dar current lelow the Gulf stream, and its proximity to the shore where the depth ermits jcven when the surface water is quite waun. They further render it very "probable, that there are counter-currents corresponding to

the cold streaks in the Gulf stream, which, if

established, must le useful in navigation. The bottom of the sea, fourteen miles from Cape Florida, five hundred and fifty fathoms in depth, was at the tem.crature of 4'. deT t 1 .1

A temperature, only six degrees alv the freezing ioint of fresh water, was found at

one thousand and fifty fathoms in depth, about eighty miles east of Cae Canaveral.

There is, also, much interesting matter

about tides, climates, longitude, etc., &c, making the Reiort highly acceptable to men of science, and eminently creditable to the distinguished gentleman who presides over the Survey.

ANOTHER RIOT! Know Nothingism, as it is exhibiting itself in a thousand p very-day occurrences, is the sire of riot and the mother of outrage. It engenders and cultivates national jealousies and leads men, jeaceable and temirate in most respects, to acts of high-handed violence w hich have no idliation in charity or reason. To such an extent is the feeling legitimately derived from the mid-night conclave carried, that Americans and Foreiguers can scarcely meet each other, now-a-days, ujion th streets in bodies without coming to a collision of some kind or other. The IxjuisviUe Democrat of the 14 th inst., gives the following account of Akotiier Riot and Oi:trauk. At aliout 11 o'clock on Saturday night, another false alarm was sounded from the seventh district, to which, as in duty lund, the entire Fire

that the first alarm from the first district

Kroru the .New York HcraM The Late Election ia Kansas Territory Full Account cf the Late Contest The Missouri Version Gov. Reeder and the Abolitionists Tho Voting Hints to the Governor Kattlesnakes Fever and Ague. r.i:r-swicK, Ciiaiiltos County, Missouri, Ayr it 20, 1855. Permit me to give you the Missouri side of the late Kansas business, which, you may be a Allied. i substantially correct, and which coiuiri;; events will prove. In t lie first place, such of the ieople in this State as purposed making Kansas their home lifter their crops were planted, were kept in profound ignoraine of the time when the election was to U- held, until they learned it from the I. astern emigrants, and learned also, that Gov. Reeder was in corresondence, if not iu partnership, with the Atxditionists and proinptors of the speculating societies w ho are sending out settlers to secure pre-emption rights, the profits of which are to lie shared among them, and iu that inam.er those making advances are to le re-imbnrsed. The knowledge of these facts stimulated the Mis-

sounans to prompt action. They regarded the conduct of Mr. l'eedcr as an outrage upon freemen, and the action f the Alolitioriists as an offensive and menacing measure; for with them it is a matter of life and death. Immediately Kansas meetings were held in every county, and in many of them large

.sums were subscribed. In this some $1,0jo

were placed in the hands of the disbursing

committee, and, as Mr, Reeder plans were

secret, so w. re their proceedings, to S4iine ex

tent. Ihev have their pass-wor.ls, signs,

&c.,and agents on all their boats.aiid along the

routes. Rut the main purpose was to supply

the means of going to Kansas to such as

might le deficient 111 money, and had it m

contemplation to go thither at a future day. To those the money was given, and no pledge,

no loud required, lor payment.

From live to seven thousand started some

o remain, but most to return to their Jami

lies, w ith an intention, if the v liked tho Ter

ritory, to make, it their place of perm intuit alode at the earliest moment practicable.

And such was precisely the puriose of the

Eastern men. If they liked the place they

intended to remain if not, they would re

turn. Rut they intended to vote. If it were abolitionized, they would like it, and remain;

if not abolitiom.e.l. the Missourians would

become ivnnanent settlers. It was not abo litionized.

Rut to the narrative. The Missourians

were, many of them, Doniphan's men, and

the conquerors of Cauloruia, who recognized

in the Eastern emigrants the identical voters

who had made California a free State, and

who lasted of it, and said thev were now

ooiucr to do the same thing in Kansxs. There

were one hundred and fifty voters from this

county, 175 from Howard, 100 from Coojer; indeed, every county furnished its quota, and when it set out it hoked like an army. They were armed. Rut they were woodsmen" and hunters, aud knew their only means of subsistance would be the game they might kill. And as there were no houses in the Territory they carried tents. Although fond of excitement and never averse to a "scrimmage," they had no hostile purjose. Their mission was a raceful one to vote, and to drive down stakes to mark their future homes. Rut the Eastern men became alarmed at the sight of their encampment, and tho Governor himself fled in terror to the fort. And he acted wisely. For it waa soon discovered that the Judges of the election whom he had appointed were not residents. No such men were to be found. No such names were in the country. But an express come up from Rooneville with the intelligence that a boat crowded with abolitionists was detained lelow by an accident. Perhaps the engineer was a member of one of the Kansas clulw. The list of names brought by the express showed where Reeder's Judges of election were

At this limn he was introduced to the Forum of the Supreme Court, w here he encountered Webster, Wirt and Kmmett. In 1S27, he received the apjiointmeut of Attorney General of Maryland, from a governor and council opposed to him in jjolitics, at a time, too, w hen party feeling ran high.

most profound ami extensive learning a tlenv-siwph jUii-Jugkal stjle of argument, and for the jolished nnd modest urlanity''f deiHrtment which marked all his intercourse at the bar. In 1831, he came into the cabinet of General Jackson, as Attorney General. With his course in that bitter political contest all are familiar. His apjiointment as Secretary of the Treasury was rejected by the Senate, and here ended his political life! In Dec, mber, 1835, he was nominated as Chief Justice confirmed after a violent opposition, and thus the calm lustre of his steady ittollectual l'ght was thrown solely in the more narrow but not less useful or honorable jiathway of judicial eminence. He then stood with Marshall, among those few great Americans who have leen peculiar lawyers ; a'ld happy has been the nation in iKtssessiug so admirable an illustration of how noble and lofty such a course may le, though the instances of those who have attained celebrity in its pursuits have leen rare. The judgments of Chief Justice Taney are models of judicial style, and so clear and cogent in their logical power, thatthose even who hesitate at the conclusions, can scarcely see w here to detect the error.

In caes of suspected crimes, the guilt or innocence of the party is to be made out at his trial, and not ujon the preliminary inquiry whether he shall le delivered up. All that would seem in such cases to be necessary is, that there should Ikj prima facie evidence before the executive authority to satisfy its judgment that there is probable cause to believe the party guilty, such as, ujxui an ordinary warrant, would justify his commitment, tor "trial. "And in tho cases of fugitive slaves, thete would seem to be the same necessity of requiring only j rima facie proofs of ownership without putting the party to a formal assertion of his rights by a suit at tint common law.

HtibjecL In thecas-p-of Jokes t. Van Zandt, 5, Howard, p. 21.r, the constitutionality of

the law of 1793 was distinctly and emphatically re-aftirmed. Listen to the Court : This court ha. already, after much deliberation, decided that the act of February 12th, 1793, was not repugnant to the Constitution. The reasons for their opinion are fully explained by Justice Story in Prigg v. Pennsylvania, 1C Peters, CI 1. In coming to that conclusion they were fortified by the idea, that the constitution itself, in the clause before cited, flung its shield, for security, over such property as is in controversy in the present case, and the right to pursue ami reclaim it within the limits of another State. This was only carrying out, in our confederate form of government, the clear right of every man at common law to make fresh suit and recapture of his own projxiiy within the realm. 3 Black. Com. 4. But the power by national law to pursue and regain most kinds of pror-erty, in the lim

its of a foreign government, is rather an act of !

comity than strict right; and hence, as the property in jrsons might not thus be recognized in some States of the Union, aud its reclamation not be allowed through either courtsy or right, this clause was undoubtedly introduced iuto the constitution, as one of itcompromises, for the safety of that portion of the Union which did permit such property, and which etherwise might often be deprived of it entirely by its merely crossing the line of an adjoining State.- 3 Madison Papers, 15P.9, 1580. - This was thought to be too harsh a doctrine in respect to any title to property, -ot a friendly neighbor, not brought nor placed in another State, under its laws, by the owner himself, but escapiug there against his consent, and often forthwith pursued, iu order to be reclaimed.

After the election, some fifteen hundred of the voters sent a committee to Mr. lteeder to ascertain if it was his purpose to ratify the election.

They were resolved if a tyrant attempted to trample iqHin the rights of the sovereign people, to hang him.
