NEW ALBANY.

•J Now that the Fall trade is about opening we would recommcnd the merchants of our county to visit this rapidly growing and enterprising city. Her wholesale stores, of which .there are many, have already opened up an extensive trade with the surrounding country. Her geographical position is such, that sooner or later she must become the greatcommercial mart of the State. Situated below the falls of the Ohio, she stands as it were at the head of navigation on the broad and beautiful Ohio, the great highway of her future commerce and trade.—

We regard New Albany as the city of the State, and in her future growth and prosperity, we should certainly have a deep interest. Her merchants are energetic and persevering men, possessed of large means, and determined to sell goods on better terras than Cincinnati, or Louisville. If our merchants have not made up their minds tomake their purchases elsewhere, wc would say in all earnestness, don't fail to call at New Albany, for we are satisfied that you can make your purchases on the most advantageous terms. The building up of a great commercial city in Indiana is a subject demanding our consideration. The millions of dollars that annually flow into the coffers of New York and Cincinnati xnerohants if persisted in will certainly be detrimental to our interest. If New Albany can compete with Cincinnati and other cities, which she certainly can, why not patronize her.

Nebraska should be the hobby. They openly declare that the great principles of seizure, confiscation, and destruction should not be abandoned to gratify the old broken down abolitionized whigs who have joined their ranks in the hope of sharing the

»i_

bill, and that their candidate must

be Anti-Nebraska, but protest against laying aside the Maine-law. Now Nebraska

and prohibitory law democrats, who joined the allied forces, say their impression was that the issue was to be seizure, confiscation and destruction and that if an An-ti-Nebraska man is nominated they will consider themselves absolved from all allegiance to the temperance party, which they joined in good faith, and with the understanding that no attempts should be made to abolitionize them.

J5i?~The prospects of the democratic party throughout the State for a brilliant victory in October is highly cheering. In almost every county our party is thoroughly organized. The Fag-enders have droped in a great measure the temperance question, and imagine that the principles of the old Abolition party are sufficient to crush us. The battle to be fought on the 10th day of October next may be truly said to be between the abolition and democratic parties. The great mass of the whig party in this county remain loyal to their old principles, and refuse to countenance the miserable, wooly-headed, pie-bald faction who seek the overthrow of the democratic party and the dismemberment of the Union. The self appointed delegates from Crawfordsville to the convention of the 13th consisted of old broken down politicians, who stand ready, like famished vultures, to partake of anything that chance may offer. Some have been seeking offices hopelessly for years, others in times gone by have been elevated for a brief period, and then fallen like Lucifer to rise no more.

J3T We have received the first number of the O.-kaloosa Times, a Democratic weekly paper, published in the town of Osklaoosa, Iowa, by A. C. CAMERON and L. D. INGERSOLL. The Times is a fine looking paper and edited with marked ability. Its editorial articles breathe forth the spirit of democracy as taught by Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Upon the Nebraska question, it stands out a bold and fearless advocate and defender of that measure. We congratulate our young friend, Mr. Ingersoll, upon the honorable position he now occupies, which reminds us of a fact well worthy of mention, that the risinggeneration,—the youngmen of the land, are fast allying themselves to the great National democratic party of the Union. In the choice of politics, Dunham has exhibited excellent judgment, and we can assure him that the old ship of state on whose decks lie now stands, will bear him safely through the roughest storms and tempests thatwhigery and abolitionism may bring to bear.

JSTManv of our readers will doubtless be gratified to learn that the celebrated GILBERT J. BEEBE will visit Crawfordsville on the 12th of September and address the citizens of Montgomery county. Mr. Beebe is a man of eminent abilities as a writer and a powerful speaker on the subjects of Maine law, priest-craft, church and state, &c. He has extended a challenge to Gen. CAREY of Ohio, to meet him at any or all of the places at which he has made appointments for the discussion of a prohibitory law. In case of Gen. Carey's refusal, he will meet any other gentlemen who may choose to accept the challenge.

£3T Next Tuesday, according to the bills, the boys and gals of town and country will have an opportunity of witnessing a circus performance. The company as a matter of course is the best that ever traveled, comprising some of the most celebrated riders in the known world. They will probably clear from $1500 to $2000, a sum sufficient to build brick school houses.

A SECOND^COUSI* TO THE KNOW NOTHINGS. We give the annexed Pledge as a consequence of the late abolition convention of the 13th of July. The Whigs who went into that convention with Julien, and his color, will blush to see what they have done. The paper was originated in the notorious New York Independent, and, according to the plan, is being circulated throughout the country. Give Abolitionism an inch and it will take an ell. We hold one of these "Pledges" in our office if John Beard, or II. S. Lane, or any of the delegates who represented Montgomery in that convention are desirous of signing it, they can at least have the opportunity. Come up, gentlemen! Father your child— Mr. Beard, we understand, is aspiring to the Legislature. "I hereby pledge myself to vote for no candidate for any office, whether State, county, city, or town, wj^o will not formally refuse to assist in any manner in the rendition of fugitives from service under the Fugitive-Slave Law and to vote for no candidate for Congress who will not. pledge himself to oppose the admission of any new slave State into the Union, and to do all in his power for the repeal of any and all acts of Congress that recognize, extend, protect, or perpetuate the institution of slavery."

SKAKE IN THE GRASS!—The "Smoothing Iron" took an airing into Ripley township and thereabouts, feeling the pulse of the anti-Maine-law whigs. The pulse didn't beat right, and the probabilities now are, that he wont be a candidate. Look out, though. Dog-days are nearly over, but the snake-season is yet on hand.

0^/- It is calculated that the Prohibitionists proper have been to the expense of §3000 this year in the setting up of the one-eyed party. Now if Prohibition is dropped, and an anti-Nebraska man, because he is such, is let loose ou the track, won't it be a beautiful exemplification of the adage—"a fool and his money are soon parted."

jCST The Abolition meeting called for to-day (Saturday) to appoint delegates to the District Convention, to be liolden in Lafayette, on the 24th inst., will undoubtedly go for Dan i?lace the double traitor.

CONGRESS ADJOURNED—A BRIEF REVIEW. Congress adjourned on the 7th inst.— Among many important bills which passed this sesion, wc note first:

An act organizing the territories of Nebraska and Kansas. This great measure of itself is enough to illustrate the patriotism and efficiency of the present session.

A bill giving effect to the Mexican treaty. This secures a passage across Tehauntepec on favoable terms, and purchases a large and valuable tract of land in the Mesilla Valley, indespensably needed for a Pacific Railroad by that route and gives us free navigation of the Gulf of California.

The Indian treaties, ratified during the present session, add avast amount of splendid land to Uncle Sam's farm. Negotiations have been successfully conducted by Commissioner Manvpenny, in Kansas, Nebraska, and other territories.

The Homestead bill has not passed this session. The discussion of the measure occupied much time in the Senate, and was not passed in its amended state, until too late a day to permit of action in the House. Two bills have passed, containing the essential principle of the homestead—that is, it brings public lands within easy reach of poor people. One grants a homestead to all actual settlers in New Mexico. The other reduces the price of lands upon a liberal scale of graduation.

MISSION FROM RUSSIA.—Dr. THOMAS COTTMAN, an American gentlemen long resident at St. Petersburg, arrived on Wednesday in the Indiana from Havre, said to be charged with a special mission from Russia to this country.

Dr. C. charges the English fleet with burning and pillaging the defenceless town of Ullcaborg, and violating brutally the persons of all the females found there. The attack was only a drunken orgie. Several

MORE INTOLERANCE.

We copy the following statement of an outrageous case of clerical intolerance from the Richmond Jeffersonian. We hare the word of several respectable citizens of the vicinity where it occurred, vouching for its truth in every material particular. The course of some infatuated Preachers in carrying their political feelings into their ministry, must do great injury to the peace and prosperity of the several churches. We hear of many old church members, men of the most exemplary and devout character, who say they will not contribute of their substance to pay political preachers. We also know many Democrats, who declare they will never permit any man, be he preacher or layman, to dictate to them what political opinions they shall hold, or how they shall vote. The people will not stand such outrages upon their freedom.— The most despotic church of Europe does not assume such control of the consciences of its members

SECTARIAN INTOLERANCE

AND

CHURCH

DICTATION OVER THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE. —Mr. Editor :—I drop you a line to let you know how politics and religion, or rather sectarian intolerance is prospering in this, the Northern part of Wayne county.— Some of my friends have run religion, or perhaps more properly speaking, their sectarian Maine-law intoleranae into politics, and from that into the ground.

My purpose in writing this is to give you and the public a description of one of the most one-sided, outrageous trials I ever saw in church or state. It was the trial of William Norton, an old and highly esteemed citizen of the Southern part of Randolph county before the M. E. Church for being a democrat.

Mr. Norton is a gentleman of about 65 years of age. Has been a consistent, pious, and regular church-going member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for near 41 years and a licensed exhorter in that church for nearly 30 years, and the oldest member that belongs to Hopewell class.— The fact is, beyond all cavil, that Mr. Norton is one of the best of neighbors, and as a plain-dressed, straight-forward, honesthearted citizen, he is not surpassed in either county. He is besides a strictly temperance man, and was never known to use liquor as a beverage.

Mr. Norton belongs to the same quarterly Conference that the Rev. Mr. Ezekiel Johnson does, and at the last quarterly Conference the usual question asked, Mr. N.'s character good? was asked and answered in the affirmative. Mr. Norton, however, was by Mr. Johnson and his Maine-law co-adjutors catechised, as to supporting and voting'for the Maine-law, which lie having answered negatively, the Conference refused him his license on the first ballot. On the reconsideration of the vote it was finally decided to grant the license, but with the understanding that it should remain in the hands of the Preacher in charge of the circuit until Mr. Norton could be brought over to, or should subscribe to and support the doctrine of "seizure confiscation and destruction."

Some two weeks after the conference, the Preacher in charge, the Rev. Mr. Smith, paid Mr. N. a visit on the license and politics, Maine-law question, and interrogated him on this new feature of Methodism—viz: "are you or not, in favor of seizure, confiscation. and destruction?" And again, do you or not, expect to vote for the Democratic ticket at the coming election? Mr. Norton answered the Rev. Mr. Smith on all these matters by saying he was a democrat and always had been, but had not voted for several years but from the treatment he had received recently in regard to his political views, which he honestly entertained as right, he should now hereafter attend the elections, and vote his sentiments, and that those sentiments were democratic, and that he would vote as he pleased. Whereupon Mr. Smith handed Mr. N. his license and summoned him to trial before the church and on last Tuesday Mr. Norton appeared as required, and after a most outrageous mock trial he was actually turned out of church, in defiance of all reason, law, or religion.

Thus, Mr. Editor, you have a practical example of the working of sectarian intolerance and bigotry, and the beautiful state of things which are to grow out of this blending of religion, and "seizure, confiscation, and destruction." And also the happy prospect in reserve for the country, when the pretended Preachers of the gos

Has it ever fallen to the lot of Democrats, who have been induced in times gone by to favor or attach themselves to any new party, to reap nny advantage or gain thereby, either politically or socially. The answer is positive. No, none whatever. So far from it they have invariably found themselves greatly the losers in all such copartnership arrangements, and the other members of the firm (the whigs) have always received the lion's share of the "spoils for, be it known that there never has been a coalition between those of other parties and members of the Democratic party, but has been the result of an over anxious longing for the loaves and fishes—an excellent attiiir on the part of the Whigs, but a sad reflection to those Democrats lending themselves to the unholy compact.

It is certainly gratifying to all Democrats, that after the great exertions made by the Abolitionists and Northern Whigs, in this getting up of a new faction, that they should have succeeded in obtaining the names of but three members of Congress, professing to be Democrats, to this notorious antiNebraska address and some of those are, to say the least, a little tinged with infidelity to the principles of the Democratic party. But we rather opine this new party affair will prove a "tempest in a tea-pot."

WHAT INDUSTRY AND PERSEVERANCE WILL EFFECT. Northern Whigs and Abolitionists 1: ve left nothing, by way of collaterals, untued or unoflfered to induce the Democrats in Congress, who voted against the Nebraska and Kansas bill, to join them in another attempt to defeat the Democratic party. After expending all their ammunition in the way of promises never to be fulfilled, and political advancement never to be reached, they have succeeded in finding but three democrats, willing to join the holy alliancc and go the figure. Mr. Fenton of New York, Mr. Davis of Rhode Island, and Mr. Mace of Indiana, are the three. To them is accorded the justly enviable position.— We hope tl ey will wear their honors at all events, with satisfaction to themselves and' their compatriots. The path of the democrat is plain, straight and easy of demarkation. To all democrats who opposed the bill, and who admit that the majority should govern, and are willing to accede to the action of that majoiity, we would say "evil communications corrupt good manners," avoid, keep clear of any such leprous connections as offered by these pure individuals. By such a course, will be secured the. triumph of the principles involved and at issue in this bill and the united action of the Democratic party throughout the wholo Union, which always insures victory.

CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN VESSEL I1Y A.

FRENCH STEAMER.

The steamer Empire City, from Aspinwall the 2nd, arrived at New York on the 11th. We make the following extract from her news:

The British mail steamer Valdi»ia arrived yesterday morning-. On the evening previous to her departure from Valparaiso, an Polish brig arrived, bringing word that a Russian bark from Havana was outside the port. The French steamer 1'hoque, Commander de Rosi3, that arrived on the 26th June from Tahiti, disabled, with loss of bowsprit and rudder, and her machinery out of order, was the only vessel of war i- port, and though she was still in a disabled state, and had only just shipped her rudder, she gotnnder way, and I went out to take her.
