-•""TABOLmOlf TRIUMPHANT

The Protracted Temperance Meeting. The Abolition Factory Delegation. Prodigous Fizzle.

"A monkey, and a mastiff, a mackaw, Two parrots, with a Persian cat and kittens, Hechosc from several animals he saw"— We choose to take the above for our "text" in writing of the abolition convention held in Crawfordsvillc on the 17th inst. The fellows who were made happy by nominations on that day may noi think the lines applicable to themselves we think it hits both them and the assembly of which they were the choice.

Altogether that convention occupied portions of three days—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

FRIDAY.

It began with a "Protracted Temperance meeting." Dougherty, Orlando W. Corey, Brown, and a few more "elders," constructed seats in the court house yard, washed their faces, and shone in Sunday garments at an astonishingly early hour on Friday. Certainly, tlie preparations were complete. But at 10 o'clock—nobody noon, and the only sign of umisual life on our streets was a "hurrying to and fro" from Ramev's to Brown's, and from Brown's to Ramey's. We accounted for this, however, by supposing the "fugs" were supplying themselves with "Endeuwaton of course, we felt happy to think they had confidence enough in us to accept che prescription we gave them last Saturday. But as at noon, so at evening—nobody. We began to conclude the meeting was going to be protracted in truth, when vc heard a drumming and fifing in the south end of town. "On hands at last," thought we, squatting ourselves upon the neatest pine-box to behold at our case the entry of the "Kar-rha-van." Up they came. "Prodigious enthusiasm!" exclaimed we, anticipating the description likely to be seen in the obstetrical journal to which our town has the honor of giving weekly birth. "Who arc they?" we asked of a little boy.— "Them? why them's Timing's students— them's the college boysSo we disco\eied when they turned Ilolton's coiaer. They camo in column two and two—the u.elega-' tion from the abolition factory yclept college 0 shades of the academic dead, what a crowd! We feel our descriptive powers grow beggarly before them. Fain

scription of them also. Here it is: "And now my whole charge consists of ancients, corporals, lieutenants, gentlemen of companies, slaves as ragged as Lazarus in the painted cloth, where the glutton's dogs licked his sores and such as, indeed, were never soldiers but discarded, unjust scrvi.ig-men, younger sons to younger brothers, revolted tapsters, and ostlers trade-fallen the cankers of a calm world, and a long peace ten times more dishonorable ragged than an old faced ancient: and sujh have I, to. fill up the rooms of them that have bought out their services, that you would think, that I had a hundred and fifty tattered prodigals, lately come from swine-keeping, from eating dralT and husks. A mad fellow met me on tlie way, and told me, I had unloaded all the gibbets, and pressed the dead bodies. No eye hath seen such scare-crows. I'll not march through Coventry with them, that's llat.— Nay, and the villains march wide betwixt the legs, as if they had gyves on for, indeed, 1 had the most of them out of prison. There's but a shirt and a half in all my

company and the halt-shirt is two napkins, tacked together, and thrown over the shoulders like a herald's coat without sleeves and the shirt, to say the truth, stolen from mv host at Saint Alban's, or the red-nose inn-keeper of Daintry. But that's all one they'll find linen enough on every hedge."

This delegation of fellows, tall and liule, thick and thin, clean and unclean, a few of them voters, all of them asses, with pewtfr brains in their pates and button medals stamped "Twining" in their pockets, fairly possessed with the idea, as with the devil, that they were marching to tap all the whiskey in the free states, and rescue all the slaves in. the south, followed the drum into the court house where a Mr. Cunningham, an Illinois Itinerant of the underground class, addressed them upon the subject of drunkenness in patriarchal davs. We looked over the audience, and besides this regiment, noticed nobody there but the regular old candle lighters and snufters. The "Itinerant" got through— the crowd dispersed—Friday was ended.

city at an early hour by minste guns fired in the court house yard. The battery was large, consisting of one*xnvil, charged with damaged powder, and a mass of Journals, reserved expressly for the occasion. WL was under the superintendency of Field-Mar-shal Orlando W. Corey. ...

About 10 o'clock, A. M., the empty streets were enlivened by the presence of the delegation from the 'abolition factory,'which came with drum and fife, bearing even vet

a wonderful similarity to FalstafPs regiment. To speak justly of them, they did look a little improved in respectability—not all, but a few of them during the night had evidently found clean linen. It is proper here, that the public may not be misled, to state that this delegation did not comprise the whole college by any means—the better headed, and truer hearted, all those indeed auThtwise distinguished for talent and re-

spectability refrained from the fanatical expose-

This delegation bore a banner. One side was daubed with a representation of a grocery on the other was a triangle with a scriptural motto. The author of this delectable fool-piece we have not the pleasure of knowirig. We pity his father, however, and can apologize for the artist himself only by supposing that paint was scarce,

that the little he had was of inferior quality, and that his whole previous experience was confined to white washing a nameless little house in the rear of his paternal grounds. We are sorry he is permitted to call himself a "student."

After some preliminary drumming and fifing, to say nothing of the distinguished performances of Field-Marshall Corey on the anvil, the convention, consisting at that time of about fi&y "Fags," exclusive of the college-delegation, was called to order outside the CourtHouse. Alex. Thompson, a small man in many respects, but very amiable, and supposed to be sharp withal, mounted a pine box, and deliberately producing a list from his pocket proceeded first to move the calling of Father xYustin to the chair. Of course it was adopted by consent. Thereupon Mr. Thompson moved the appointment of Vice-Presidents, which being taken, he proceeded to nominate a number of respectable gentlemen, whose names by some means had contrived to find places on the list from which he still read. The organization was finished by calling as Secretaries Mr. T. D. Brown ,md Dr- Willis May.

At this point Father Austin delivered

a speech. Of the speech and

the speaker *e have but little to say. We believe him honest,—more sd, indeed, than any other man in the convention. We were very sorry, however, when he called himself "yet a democrat." If he feck that he cannot be a temperance man-of the old Democratic Washingtonicoi School, there is no necessity for his active partizanship against his former friends and supporters. Poor old man Not a true democrat in in the county thinks hard of you—all pity, none curse. For our part, when we saw you seated among the Fags,—surrounded by them,—their President,—the butt for sly sarcasm, and, too often, the object of illconcealed sneers at the politics you once professed, we grieved with an honest grief, and thought of Samson set up in the temple for the sport of tho Philistines. But—peace be with you

Mr. James Wilson next mounted the box. This fellow made a gross personal allusion to us, and raised a small laugh. This, however, was accoiding to custom. To sec his name figure in our columns, he never speaks without some dirty fling at the Review.'-.'tfllad he any common sense he would leave us unmolested—no man can talk down a press. Was he possessed of a modicum of that noble quality which makes a dog his superior, gratitude would teach him to thank us for our patience if he does not, the public must know that we have only to allude to his antecedent career to make him a stench in the nostrils of every honest prohibitionist in the county. At this time, however, we restrain cur hand, and content ourselves by giving him over to the stern, old whigs, whom he has basely sold to the purposes of unmasked abolitionism. We leave his punishment to them.

At this period Mr. Thompson came up

into the court house, and then pass in the ]names of candidates. By this means out­

siders were prevented knowing how many

of the persons

present were

lections were finally made. The committee thus disposed of, Dr„ Berry mounted the pine box. He made an enthusiastic speech upon the old subject—

intemperance. He was in faror of a prohibitory law—gave the rum seller "fits"—r said nothing about his former politics, but declared himself ready to lay them aside. As to substance, he had more zeal than sense as to manner, he had more sense than breath. By the time fie gets into the Legislature, he will be considerably older, and we hope improved. He is rather a clever Berry, but too deeply planted for sprouting this year. The abolitionists and abolitionized-whigs listened to him in ominous silence—he was all their "fancy painted him", but

By this time it was'noon, and those who were not hungry for office grew hungry for dinner.

Afternoon. We can't say whether the nominating committee went to dinner or not. The committee as originally appointed from Thompson's list, would have made short work of it. If there was any trouble in selecting the victims, it all grew out of the disarrangement of the arrange­

The array now gathered was very large. One third of them, at least, were Democrats come "to take items."

The resolutions were the first things called for. As there had been no appointment of a "resolution commitee" in the morninjr, we were amazed somewhat when

O7

T. W. Fry came in "at a run" and reported a series. At first we concluded this apart of the "programme" as settled in the "Hole in the Wall." We have been informed since, and can now safely state that "the platform" was built bv a self-constituted committee of three abolitionized ivhigs.

The resolutions have nothing to do with anything but 23rohibition. We will comment on them hereafter, provided they are worthy notice. About Nebraska they are mum.

The nominating committee came next. A deathly silence fell upon the audience as

the chairman read— ...

For Representative, Dr. BKBRT. Treasurer, •••.- J. R. Koo.vs. Sheriff, WM. SCHOOLER.

Commissioner. W. MUI.I.IKIN.

What says the public now as to the applicability of our text? The report was adopted. Then nothing would do, but the candidates must return

thanks. Dr. Berry appeared. Ilis voice was very weak—he seemed overwhelmed.

Wrm. Schooler also answered the call. He went off glibly as a practiced auctioneer. He alluded to what had been his position on the liquor question, but was rather lame in his promises. He blew hot—he blew cold, We thought he looked ashamed,

but couiJn't tell whether it was of the crowd he was speaking too, or of himself.

Mr. Koons is a gentleman. The substance of his address was, that he would not resort to any thing dishonorable in the canvass. Let him watch that he is not

made toby his friends. Mr. Wm. Mullikin at least told the truth. He thought he wasn't the sort for the place —there were plenty of gentlemen present better qualified than himself—He about half declined the honor.

Now, however, came tlie lion. The great Dr. Jackson arose, pulled off his coat, looked tragic, swelled, and—siccatcd. He professed himself a Democrat—made a constitutional argument in favor of the Maine Law—told wilful lies about the Democratic State Convention. To console the Whigs, he said their party was dead. Apprehensive, probably, of a Marshal's writ, he abused John L. Robinson. In proof of his democracy, he let down on Pettit, Bright, and Pierce. The abolitionists were gratified, the W higs pleased, the

Prohibitionists exultant.

When for which purpose a list teas handed to the S 11,000 corruption fund gives out, President, who proceeded to read. This evi- prophecy he'll get tired, and quit. dently suited some of the crowd, but not all. After a little consultation, Mr. Thompson consented to remodeling the committee by the appointment of two from each town-

here under hire, received his pay, we sup pose, and returned home. About the time the convention broke up, Cunningham asked for three ch6ers from the whigs. They were given most hearti Jy. "Now," cried the itinerant, "three more from the Democrats!" Nobody re plied. Nothing daunted, "underground" again called for three cheers. Thereupon two fellows sprang up and joined him in a yell, while two more shame-facedly waved their hats. Never was there a completer "fizzle."

SUNDAY. ". ..

Violation of the Sablath—Incendiary Preaching.—Resort to muskets.—Prohibition and Foreigners.-

On the afternoon of the Sabbath day the finishingtouch was given to this remarkable

convention. ,r The exercises were opened with prayer from the Reverend Mr Whitney, agent,

as we understand, for the Methodist Tract Society. We hope our information in this respect is incorrect. It is hard to believe that a respectable divine of that excellent denomination could enact such a mockery, or in any manner lend its countenance to a desecration of the "holy day" paralleled only by the scenes of Congo Square in New Orleans.

A more vile, ultra-outrageous political harrangue we never listened to. We recollect a few of his points, and, though they fill us with disgust as we write, we'll give them to convict the speaker of blasphemy and fanaticism, and to apprize the country people of the designs of this new party. Full three hundred people, men and woman, can testify to the truth of our report.

As to the extent to which the Maine law excitement was to be carried, he said—"It must go on—we'll make it go on, until the farmer's hand grows hot for the musket!"—

Not content with the ballot-box, this" preacher exhorts to a use of the musket. In other words, he would have the blood of citizens who plant themselves between him and

a Maine law! Again: "I have frequently," he said, "been asked, if we get the Maine law, will we be satisfied? No! If it fails, we'll go further—we cannot say where we'll stop!" Well, they have already declared themselves in favor of "search, seizure, confiscation and destruction"—fine and imprisonment. In the name of all that is holy, how much further can they go, and leave us our liberties and lives? j.

In the prayer of every patriot-prcachcr there is always room for a blessing upon our governors and law-makers. But listen to this clerical traitor! Alluding to the states in which the passage of a prohibitory law had been attempted, he said,—"It was before the legislature of Pennsylvania. It failed, because the legislature had been corrupted by rum money! The law was passed in New York. But the Governor had been bought up by rum-money, and he vetoed it. Seeing no chance of fortune at politics, he seized this opportunity, and suffered himself to be bought up by the rumdealers." The Rev. gentleman finished bv sending the Gov. where resurrection would not reach him. Than this, was anything ever more unchristian and sacreli-

gious?

Our citizens of fireign birth camc in for a portion of his wrath. "W ho are they," he asked, "engaged in this traffic? It is not the native, the American—it is the foreigner—the Irish and Dutch! In the old world they were like children under a mas­

ter at school but here among us they think the restraint is removed they have no longer a king, and think to do as they please, regardless of law nnd morals." Dilating upon this point, he prophesied desperate and terrible consequences to the peace and prosperity of our country from foreigners ignorant and ur.fit for liberty.

We want our foreign citizens to read this—to remember it. We might comment on it, and may at some future period but not now, lest our purpose might be misconstrued. We will not imitate the rancorous prostitute by saying a word calculated to excite animosity and heart-burning between citizens. Classes we will never recognize,

much less create, in our communities. Let all of foreign birth love our country, but remember the creatures that slander and viliify.

The above proceeding took place in the public square, and occupied tlie whole of the afternoon. They in fact were the last of the convention.

And now people of Montgomery county, we have discharged our duty, and given vou a full report of the abolition convention of the 17th inst. Their ticket is before you, and their promise is discharged. You kaow their men, and Sunday's sacrilege has given you their purposes likewise. It is now your place to judge both their men and

$30,000 STOCK TAKEN.—We learn that the Board of County Commissioners have made a further transfer of County Stock from the Terrc Haute Richmond Rail- S road, to the Evansville & Crawfordsvillc Road, to the amount of thirty thousand dollars. We understand this addition to the ready means of the Company will place the work beyond the reach of any drawbacks, and ensure its speedy completion.—' Terre Haute Prairie City.

ST. PAUI, EXCURSION.

The Galena Jcfersonian pays the following compliment to Messrs. Sheffield and Farnamc, projectors of the great railroad excursion to the Falls of St. Anthony: I

Ours is the only country in the world in which an excursion like that of which we speak could have come off. There is no other land on which the sun shines, where such a line of railroad as that from Boston and New York to Rock Island, can be found again, there is no river like the Mississippi and last, there are no men, except American Contractors, like Sheffield and Farnam who would have conceived and carried out the magnificent idea. That they should have taken nearly one thousand persons from their homes in New York and New England, carried them near twelve hundred miles of railroad from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, put them aboad live fine steamers, conveyed them from Rock Island, five hundred more miles by water, to St. Paul, on the very confines of civilization, without a dollar's expense to the guests —that they should return them thence to their homes, without sickness or accident, upon the very hour appointed in the cards of invitation,—is a feat, we venture to say, that has never been approached, and that, for along time to come, will be without parallel! We do not in our estimate of the affair take into account the cost—said to have been $75,000 —but we look at the scheme and its execution as a whole,—at the liberality which prompted it out without a ilaw even in its minutest detail. It is wonderfulL

So modest, withal, hare the givers of tho excursion been, that many of the guests, t« tliis day, are ignorant of the source from whence their invitation came. For such, we may say that, at the January meeting of the Directory of the Chicago and Rock Island. Railroad, an excursion was planned for th'v stockholders in that work, far inferior in magnitude to the one which has just comooff. It was afterwards proposed "to increase the affair and to effect this purpose. Messrs.: Sheffield tt Farnam, the contractors whobuilt the road, became responsible for, a large share of the expenses. Upon their shoulders and upon their fai'.hful and capable agent, Col. Mix, the whole responsibility, since that time has rested. In what mannerthey have executed their trust, the wonder and admiration of all Christendom will telL
