PROF. CALEB MILLS.

Prof. C. MILLS, of this place, was nominated by the Mongrel Convention of the 13th July as their candidate for Superintendent of Public Instructions. We have no hesitation in saying that he is a gentleman and a scholar. He is the author, also, of several pamphlets upon the subject of common schools. The political arena, however, is, something new to him. He has spent the last seventeen or eighteen years of his life, taking a few trips to Indianapolis, either in the "recitation room" or the quiet shades of "College grove!"— He is essentially a dreamer—a builder of

of Wabash College." To the Superinten dency he would bring Eutopean theories, and the pleasant smile of a gentleman more familiar with Homer than practical life.— As to his politics we have made particular enquiry. From the best information we can get, we feel ourselves warranted in pronouncing him an abolitionist. That, we say, is his school political, and so we shall continue thus publically to class him, until under his own "hand and signature" he informs us better.

TOWNSHIP MEETING AT ALAMO. On Saturday, July 22d, pursuant to notice, the voters of Ripley township, opposed to the passage of a Prohibitory Law, met at the meeting-house in Alamo. The Hon. ROBERT TAVLOR was called to the chair.—

D. C. STOVER, was then called upon, and in a forcible and able manner, showed the position of the Democratic party in this State, on the subject of a "prohibitory" law that the Maine law movement in Indiana, was pushed forward by a combination of men of all parties, having more in view the places of power than the happiness of the people, that the movement was fanatical, and carried within its self, its own antidote, that men who could appreciate the rrenius of our institutions would not be

faction, excitement, and passion. Against pH these men, the thunders and threats of the

ministerial politicians and their tools of the press are beginning to be directed. The work was commenced at the piebald convention itself by a most insulting allusion to the excellent Professor Larrabee, and is being followed up by such fanatical papers as the Madison Courier and the JefFersonville Republican, the former of whom assails Rev. Dr. Daily and the latter Rev. George W. Ames, in terms anything but complimentary. The design is of course to endeavor to terrify and browbeat these and other ministers of the gospel who, without designing to throw off their clerical habiliments and enter the political arena, have manifested no disposition to join in the crusade set on foot against the Democratic party. We do -not believe they will succeed in their efforts. There are some ministers who think they can serve God as acceptably by preaching "the gospel as by preaching on politics, of which most of those who do attempt to preach on them, are as ignorant as asses, and whose efforts to discuss questions properly withjn the province of statesmen and newsjjjimjrs, only excite the pity and cont^Btipffor men who, to further their own ambitus views, are hissing them on in their work.—A".

For the Crawfurdsvillc Review.

Mr.JSuiTOit:—A few months ago in addressing a letter to the Banner of Liberty, I saw proper to speak of the Maine law, and animadvert with freedom and truth, upon the course which some of its advocates have been pursuing in Indiana. I wrote without reserve, fear, favor, or affection, and have not one word to ca'l bavck. Dr. Fry, however, some time ago addressed some sickly and purile l'.-tters to Mr. A. J. Snyder, of Ripley township, has also sent us an epistle of the same character, through his paper, in which he attacks our letter with the most reckless misrepresentations and denunciations. We expect at a more convenient season to pay him our respects.

Yours truly, JOHN LEE.

tWThe Fountain Ledger, a mongrel paper, has run up the name of DAN. MACE an a candidate for Congress, and it seems probable that the new party intends to run him as the Anti-Nebraska candidate. Dan. deceived the whigs first, then the democrats, and is now no doubt anxious to try his hand at the freesoilers. After he de. ccives them, his next step will be to join the Spiritual Rappers. After that, hc will most likely go to the devil.

The New York Times has a sensi

ble talk upon the extravagance of the day, particularly as developed in social life, in that city. We quote: "If money is to continue the measure of Respectability, money will be had in all sorts of ways and' used in all degrees of follv. There is no help for it and hence it is absurd for us to be declaiming so .vehemently against frauds and bankruptcies, while we patronize the very principle that necessarily produces these effects. Talk of the moralities' of the false issues of stock and the host of otlu-r fraudulent transactions. Talk of Railroad mrinias and the many reckless pursuits of speculating life! The evil is not in them. It is not in Nvsli street. It is not in Banks and Brokers.— Look to your splendid avenues—your palaces, named Hotels—your Five Thousand Dollar Partiefe—your silks and wines—your whole system of modern American show. There you have the roots of this consuming cancer—there, and there, only, the flesh and blood that feed its spreading poison. What is the use of wasting words on our system of business—on excessive credit—011 fictious negotiations, so long as vain and silly wives are urging on their vainer and sillier husbands to this all devouring ruin! The cure is needed at home and until our domestic vices are reformed, we are whistling down the wind in every effort made to rectify the monstrous error. A great part of this tremendous evil is due to our women. It is hard to think it— harder to write it—but nevertheless, it is plain, honest truth. They are the money maelstroms—they and their silks, wines, carpets, hangings and equipages—and in them are swallowed up the millions that are reported in our financial disasters."

browbeating. There are a few Methodist 1854. to appoint Delegates to tht' County and District Convention to be held

in Crawfordsvillc. The meeting was duly organized by

JOHN D. CAMPBELL President, and

JACOB BOSSORT Secretary. LEW WALLACE then addressed the meeting in a well delivered and fluent speech, defining the relative position of the two parties, with that degree of candor which becomes a true Democrat at his post.

The committe to whom was referred the drafting of Resolutions, on motion, arose and reported the following which were unanimously adopted. S

Resolved, That intemperance is a great moral and social evil, for the restraint and correction of which legislative interposition may be necessary and proper but such legislation should be in strict harmony with republican principles, and should not interfere with any of the private and constitutional rights of the citizens, either by subjecting his person or premises to unreasonable search, and his property to seizure, confiscation, and destruction, or in any other manner whatsoever.

Resolved, That we adhere strictly to thc doctrine that the people have a right to establish their own principal laws and legislations, and that the Bill lately passed by Congress for the organization of Nebraska 3 O and Kansas, by declaring that "the legislative power of said Territories should extend to all rightful subjects of legislation not inconsistant with the constitution of the United States, re-offers that doctrine and that it was thc duty of Congress to repeal all previous legi.-lation inconsistent with the exercise of this right, and that we, therefore, approve and endorse the principles of said Bill.

Resolved, That the following named persons be appointed delegates to attend our County and District Conventions: Alexander Harper, Abram Cashner, Jonas A. Jones, John D. Campbell, William Mullen, Archibald Flaningan, Gurdiannis Booher, Nathaniel Booher, George Shumaker, Milton D. Hopper, Campbell Craig, John Castor, James McCrea, Willis E. More, Uen Morgan, Jacob Bossort, William Buchanan, Joel W. Michaels, Thomas Michaels, Silas Jones, Abijah Elmore, Jacob J. Booher, Jesse More, Jesse McCollister.

Resolved, That every Democrat is invited to attend, and act as delegates at the conventions.

Resolved, That all the Whigs of Franklin township, who are opposed to the Maine law, are also invited to attend and participate in the conventions.

DEAR SIR:—Having read a few of your papers, I came to the conclusion that they were worthy the patronage of every freeman. Consequently I set myself about obtaining a few subscribers, and with a little exertion I obtained thirty. Many more could be had in this community by using the proper exertions but being anxions to obtain the Banner as soon as possible, I send on the names accompaaied with twen-ty-three dollars. You will see that this amount will overpay the number of Banners for the balance (except lb cents for the Signs of the Times) I wish you to send me the Sure Cures for the Tetotal Mania, which disease has been somewhat conta^io'J"' i" this region of country for a few moiuiiw"1 pbut I think all that is necessary to eradicate I' from the human system, and forever banish it froP* the political arena of this prosperous and hjppy republic is a fair investigation of truth anu a proper understanding of the real intention of ti.yse designing demagogues who are so zealously advocating the Maine law, or a similar one in the State of Indiana, under the false pretence of philanthrophy. In reality most of them have little or no regard for the welfare of the drunkard, but are seeking their own personal aggrandizement, and are extremely anxious that American freemen should sacrifice their natural and individual rights at the shrine of their miserable dogma. Alas! 'tis too true, there arc still some Esaus in our land, who are ready and willing to sell their birthright in this great fabric of American liberty without recompense or reward but as for me, I have ever considered it worth its cost, which was truly great. I obtained this freedom, (not as one said, "with a great sum of money,") but with the heart's blood of my ancestors, some of whom poured it out freely upon the gory battle fields of the revolution and my

Such ing 300,000 men against Austria. men should profit from thc warning voice of thc great apostle of the Gentiles: for, says he, "Though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that we have preached, let him be accursed!" But many of them have obeyed the mandate of these political tricksters and have passed strong resolutions in their respective churches, in which they pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honors to wrest from the American people the natural and inherent rights which our fathers pledged their lives fortunes and sacred honors to maintain. It remains to be seen which pledge will stand the test of the voters of Indiana We believe that the pledge of our fathers will be sustained, and that this coalition of clerical priestcraft and political demagogueism will be sunk so low in its merited oblivion that the hand of resurrection will never reach it, unless it sho'd be to raise it to shame and everlasting conUr,\pt. Our State is overrun with self-con-ceited, sophisticated demagogues, under the false cognomen of temperance lecturers, many of whom are almost entirely destitute of brains and wholly without moral worth or virtue, with $12,000 at their back to urge them on in their unhallowed and unwarranted course of slang and defamation of all good men who do not join in their wild crusade of abuse and proscription. And we have some scurrilous scribblers, too, (who have no character as writers or editors, that feel themselves safely ensconced behind the printing press, who hesitate not to attack the private character of the very best citizens, and heap upon them all the abuse that their vile tongue can utter—men whose shoes they are not unloose—
