Temperance Resolution Adopted at the Democratic State Convention.

RESOLVED, That Intemperance is a great moral and social evil, for the restraint and correction of which legislative interposition is necessary and proper but that we cannot approve of anv plan Jor the eradication or correction of this evil that must necessarily result in the infliction of greater ones: and that we are therefore opposed to any law upon this subject that will authorize the SEARCHING for, or SEIZURE, CONFISCATION, and DESTRUCTION of private property.

CATCHING AT STRAWS. A year or two ago a few fanatics invited ®s a creature named Ross to temperance-ise

Montgomery county. Everybody knows the result of his blackguard rantings.— "When he left, up from the seed he scattercd behind him, sprang a number of lowersphered imitators. We will not mention their names—it is not necessary. Thev •ucceeded only in keeping the waters always troubled and muddy. Instead of doing good, they harmed their cause, and it commenced swiftly rolling down the hill.— The detestable imitators finally exhausted their stock of Ross-ism and temperance, urged with diabolical intemperance of language and zeal, bade fair to die the death of a young horse ignorantly ridden to death.

The State Temperance Convention of the last winter, breathed into the rotting carcass of Ross-ism a breath of political life, ry*: and effected a resuscitation. Designing politicians crept into all the Divisions of the

Sons of Temperance in Indiana, and subverted each and all of them into so many heated ovens, where the poison-bread of is Prohibition, in loaf, biscuit, and cake form, was baked fur the feeding of intolerance and fanaticism. Through their agency, temperance was transplanted from the moral vineyard to the fens and swamps of politics. Then aq-ain arose the war crv of bisr-

©try and fanaticism, accompanied by swift proscription and intolerance, treading ruthlessly upon the characters, opinions, and rights of the citizens of Montgomery, who showed face and front to the foe.

The home-made proscribers of everybody eise but those of their own filthy cloth, being themselves run-down to the lowest depths of public-opinion, and not less odious in the country than gallev-cooks and jail-birds, then began a system of importations. Tiiey brought Carey, the rotten ribald defamer and preacher, Jackson, the lyintr abolitionist, Cunniuiiham, the infamous,

O O then hired the character and talents of Henry Ellsworth, all of whom ran their race, but roused the people only to bitterness and vet deadlier opposition to their tyranny.

Now, we have Gen. S. F. Carey. From his reputation, wc anticipated an orator, a •ijentU'man both scholarly nnd refined.— Hitherto wr had set him in the John B. GtviHi school of lecturers. T^ aston-

ishment we found only a fluent speaker.— Henry Ellsworth stumped the county, and, if be did no more, won for himself the qpinion of a gentleman. But Carey has cot done, that much. We give him credit for fluency, but it is the fluency of a parrot.— We do not think him a blackguard on all occasions but that, mistaking the character of bis audience at this place, and doubtless thinking to accommodate himself to a rather low-graded assembly of Hoosiers, his first speech was an effusion of blackguardism, we think no man, not a fanatic, will deny. We will make this criticism good by a few instances. He called every proposition of the opposite side "a lie," and this repeatedly—the leaders in the Democracy he characterised as "unprincipled scamps," "whisky-rotted politicians," "constitutional lawyers," "insolent and'impudent demagogues." Two thirds of his hearers were ladies, refined, virtuous, and amiable, our wives, mothers, and daughters. Respect for them required from him an avoidance of vulgar anecdotes. But as he has a set of sterrootyped jokes, he did not hesitate—we suppose, by way of apology, and, it is a very poor one we admit, he could not speak without them. Thus, he illustrated by the refined remark—"as we have pole-cats, we must ha\e pole-kittens."

So he repeated his old story of the dog coming at him with the other end. We will only say now, that every man who thinks anti-Maine law, and dont want to be abused in a style fully equal to the billingsgate of Ross and Dougherty, to say nothing of Wilson, had better not go to hear this new importation Besides he tells nothing new, and does not argue equal to Ellsworth. We pity the wisdom of the

party, that sent to Ohio for this poor spontaneity of unmerited paper-puffs, when a man like Henry S. Lane will prostitute himself, without pay, to their service.

JE5T In a recent number of the Lafayette Courier, we noticfe a scries of resolutions in reference to the present condition and management of the Wabash and Erie canal, which the Courier'says, were passed at the Democratic Congressional Convention, held at this place on the 10th of August. In justice to Mr. Jesse L. Williams, chief engineer of the canal, we will simply state that the convention had nothing to do whatever with the resolutions. Immediately after the adjournment of the convention, some of the delegates from Fountain county called a meeting of the few that remained and passed the resolutions, which were not signed by any of the secretaries of the convention, and formed no part whatever of its proceedings. Will the Courier be so ism kind as to make the correction. g§jg

J£3T The editors of the Lafayette American and Daily Journal, (both abolition) are sparring at each other at the present time with a vengeance. They both seem determined to conquer or die, for which purpose they assail each other's character's in Uie most bitter and vindictive manner. We are surprised that two editors, both engaged in the same great work, that of dissolving the Union and placing the negro upon an equality with the white race, should thus fall out For fear that Mace's prospects for Congress might he blighted by this feud, we suggest the propriety of Swallow Tail acting as mediator. If any reliance whatever can be placed upon their assertions of each other's characters, a half gallon of Cogniac brandy will settle all further difficulties. Try it gentlemen.

JJ3T Much dissatisfaction and growling exists among the delegates from this county who attended the recent abolition convention held at Lafayette a few days since. Some of them charge that the convention was controlled entirely by Mace's hirelings, and that the claims of the young aspirant who went up from here in high hopes were

entirely overlooked.

£*T Our friends Messrs. SMITH, STILWELL ALLEN, say they will open out this week, a magnificent stock of Goods, just bought east, at low rates. Give them a call. We have no doubt but that you will be pleased with their stock. Look out for

mammoth bills.

SEE HERE!—The Anti-Nebraska papers are publishing every item they can get hold of to show that slavery will go to Kansas, and they charge it to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise! These reckless falsifiers know well enough that a large part (almost the whole of Kansas Territory lies south of the old Missouri Compromise line, and that slavery could and did go there under that Compromise. There arc slaves in Kansas now, but they have not been taken there since the passage of the Nebraska bill. If Kansas should become a slave State, it will be charged to the Nebraska law, when the Nebraska law will have no more to do with it than the man in the moon.

JE3"The Fags made a most glorious fiz­

zle at their last Convention. They received no countenance from the country people, their little audience being made up principally by a few villagers from Waveland. •-.

BARKING UP HE WRONG TREE. ALAMO, August 26, 1854. EDITORS OF THE REVIEW:

Gentlemen, I ask you to insert this communication for me in your paper. It is the first time in my life that I ever made a request of the kind, and I hope it will be the last

I sec by the published proceedings, in the little mongrel cabbage leaf of Crawfordsville, that George Bolster, of Ripley

township, was nominated for Coroner by the Fag-end Mongrel Convention, held at Crawfordsville on the 25th inst. Now I must say to that Convention in earnest and with a good will, that I most respectfully

decline the nomination. I was born a republican of the Jeffersonian school, and am now 62 years of age, and have acted and voted with that party since I have been of age stood by it in 1812, and ever since, and expect to live and die a member of it. I have retired from political strife in my declining years. I am a Temperance man now, but not one of the fanatics, and believe that moral suasion, is the only true principle of moral reform that freemen should resort to and I am sorry to see politics and religion blended together. Now if the little telegraph man and the Alamo random line railroad runner, intended to cast a reproach on me, I can only say that I don't break the Sabbath with politics, and they will have to fill my place on their ticket, for I am not their man. I cannot go the mongrel concern no how.

Your's,

GEORGE BOLSER.

PARTY. COALITION.

It is needless for us to say how many malicious thrust are being made at the Democratic party, in the present campaign.— Since all other parties, but the regular Democratic Party, have abandoned their old land marks, and have mutually agreed to try and rally under the garbled name of Pocples Party, they seem to have great sympathetic feelings for one another, and sit down to plot, and plan the dissolution of the Democracy. They have great love for us, and not unfrequently, give grave expressions, of a winning style, and in much respect for us they say, be consistent and come out! Come out of what? we ask, oh! I suppo se you street croakers would be highly pleased to see lis abandon all ournationtional principles, and try to forward your projected schemes of People's policy, yet untried, and if it was, it would only end in "disunion." We speak knowingly of you, because "we judge the tree by its fruits." Dissolution was your germinating point, and the cry has ever been from your first egress in distracting national policy— down with all parties—down with the fundamental rights of all consistency in nationality, and finally down with the masses now crying for help to save the Union of

these States. We as democrats not only have .ill this coalition of parties daily striving to disorganize us as a party, but in our very midst we see some who we supposed, stood firm and had moral courage enough to with stand the attack, but to our great surprise

we see them congregate with the giddy masses, and seek by foul means to obtain offices tendered them if they would come over to Sodom.

This should be a timely warning to the true lovers of our Union to stand in the hour of trial, and be true to your calling as democrats. Heed not the winning voice of the deceiver. Be not caught in the willy snare set with abolition bate, as were the

deceived democrats that joined the whigs and abolitionists in carrying the State of Iowa. Look at the bate—compare the vote of Scott and Hale in fifty-two, with

the present vote of Iowa, take the counties and they will satisfy any observing democrat that the union of the two parties carried that State. We do hope all democrats will

take warning by that example—beware lest we find you contributing to obtain for the whigs and abolitonists a triumph. ,v S.

KEEP IT IIEFORE THE PEOPLE.—That Matthew R. Hull, the notorious Abolitionist, who figured as one of the principal wileworkers and speakers at the mongrel convention at Indianapolis, of July 13th, and who is stumping the State in favor of the Abolition ticket, in conjunction with Julian, Cravens, Harding, Hackleman and Peaslee, stated last week, in a speech at Newburg, Decatur county, "that if they [the Mongrel party] did not succeed in this election that they would succeed in another way, and that the friends of the cause may brighten their bayonets, manufacture their muskets, and prepare their ammunition, for if they could not succeed at the ballot box, they would at the point of the bayonet." If any of the Abolitionists of this county, who are acting with this infamous traitor, will deny this statement, we pledge ourselves to produce any reasonable number of certificates to the fac:s! Will Hackleman, or Peaslee, or Wright, or Smelser, deny it?— Shelbyville Campaign Lancet.

TROUBLE AMONG THE KNOW-NOTHINGS.— It is currently reported ihat, in consequence of the exposures which have been made, of the pass-words and ceremonies of the KnowNothings, they have concluded not to make any more initiations of new members for present, until their nrogrnmrae is somewhat modified.

THE AMERICAN BONAPARTES. The resignation of young BONAPARTE, the grandson of JEROME,NAPOLEON'Syoungest brother, of his commission in the United States army, as a "preliminary step to entering the service of his cousin, the Emperor of France, is made the subject of general animadversion, by the newspaper. pre&. And it is curious to note the wide differing opinions which prevail on the subject. The New York Tribune, with characteristic largeness of views, mourns over the few hundred dollars which the young man's education at West Point has cost Uncle Sam, and proposes to modify the regulations of the Academy, in order to prevent the occurrence of similar pecuniary disasters hereafter. The Herald, with its fondness for the marvellous, indulges itself in vaticination, and with a strange disregard of well known historical facts, launches off in the following grandiloquent style:—"How remarkable are the vicissitudes of kingly fortunes! It is to Josephine, the repudiated wife of Napoleon, that the Napoleonic empire is indebted for its legitimate restoration and the imperial succession may yet devolve upon the descended? of Mrs. Patterson, the repudiated wife of Jerome. The recall of our young Lieutenant to Franee, and his resignation of his commission in our army, seem to signify something of this kind." This is sheer nonsense, of course but the practice of the Herald is to risk everything for a present sensation—and we are sorry to see that its bad example is getting to be pretty generally followed in the metropolis.

We have already given the genealogy of the American branch of the Bonaparte family but we find in the Herald some additional particulars of considerable interest, diversified by occasional blunders, one of which we will correct here. The Herald

says

JEROME'S American wife, after her divorce by the Legislature of Maryland, "assumed the simple name of Mrs. Patterson,

which

she holds to this day." She is always spoken of as MADAME BONAPARTE, by those who have the pleasure of her acquaintance—is never addressed by any other title, and would feel herself affronted if called Mrs. PATTERSON. She is the grandmother of the young Lieutenant. Soon after her marriage with JEROME,she accompanied her husband back to France, but the ship which carried them out was met in the Texel by an order from the Emperor, prohibiting "her landing upon the soil of France. She fell back upon England, and took up her residence in Chamberwell near London, where JEROME NAPOLEON, the fathre of our young Lieutenant, was born July 7, 1805.

The Emperor had caused a decree to be issued by his Council of State, cancelling the marriage, but it had been solemnized by a Catholic Bishop, (Bishop CARROLL., of Baltimore,) and the Pope insisted upon its validity. The Emperor wrote to the Pope May 24, 1805:— "I have frequently spoken to your Holiness of a young brother, nineteen years of age, whom 1 sent in a frigate to America, and who after a sojourn of a month, although a minor, married a Protestant, a daughtei of a merchant of the United States. He has just returned. He is fully conscious of his fault. I have sent back to America Miss Patterson, who calls herself his wife. By our laws the marriage is null. A Spanish priest so far forgot his duty as to pronounce the benediciion. I desire from your Holiness a bull annulling the marriage. I send your Holiness several papers, from one of which, by Cardinal Casselli, your Holiness will receive much light. I could easily have had the marriage broken in Paris, since the Gallican Church pronounces such matrimonies null. But it appears to me better to have it done in Rome, on account of the example to sovereign families marrying Protestants" &c.

But the Pope was inflexible, and peremptorily refused to grant the request of the Emperor. So the marriage was declared a nullity without the Pope, a princess was provided as the wife of JEROME, and he was made a king.

IrHE CROPS.

The papers from all quarters have of late been complaining bittertly of the drouth, and predicting short crops of corn and almost a famine in consequence. The following, by a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Boone County Ky. presents a different phrase of the matter:

Pun. COM.—There are great lamentations going up relative to the failure of the corn crop, and the anticipated famine that is to pervade this country. The people of this country may be justly denominated croakers. They should be thankful for the abundance which we have. It is true, in some localities, the earth seemed to be much parched, but when we take into consideration this wide spread country of ours, and compare its varied productions, we find we have ample. I have traveled considerably through Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, and their crops of hay and small grains were never better. The corn in certain sections is good, whilst in others there is only a partial failure, but in the aggregate they will have an ample supply to fatten their slock, which in these counties abound.

The Auditor of Kentucky reports one hundred and fifty thousand greater than last year. Illinois, Indiana. Missouri and Ohio, will report an excess over last year and with corn sufficient to fatten said hogs I do not predict starvation. That they will be fattened there is no doubt. Kentucky has thousands of acres in rye, which was left standing in the fields and I suppose other State* are similarly situated—which will give the hogs such a start that it will take but little corn in addition to make them merchantable pork.

03~The Lafayette Courier seems to have a presentment that the traitor Mace w-ill meet with an overwhelmning defeat in Oc­

tober, and calls upon him to make his pres-

ence manifest among the mongrels at once1

or decline running, nnd some other candidate.

.TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN LOUISYILLE.

EIGHTEEN PERSONS KILLED.

The following particulars of the dreadful accident which occurred at Louisville, on Sunday the 27th inst., we coiyfrom the Courier, of {hat place

a wide-spread grief among relations and friends. The disaster was so instantaneous in its operations that we presume many were killed without perceiving the nature of the fatal blow. A lady informed us that a door, which was ajar, disturbed her, and she turned to shut it, and almost at the instant that she turned an immense beam fell where she had been an instant before. It killed a gentleman who was sitting by her before she turned to shut the door.

The following is a list of the killed and wounded as far as they were kuown at 8 o'clock last night:

LADIES AND CHILDREN KILLED. Mrs. Vildibill, two daughters and son. Miss Headly, aged 11 years, residence on Fifteenth street.

Mrs. Camden. A son of Mr. Gowan, aged 9 years.

LADIES AND CHILDREN WOUNDED. Miss Duff had her ribs broken and the lunu or lun^s lacerated. There is reason

to hope for her recovery. Mrs. Taylor and child badly injured. Mrs. Morsell, severely injured. Her condition is critical.

Miss Morsell, aged 18 years, seriously injured. Mrs. Hewitt, wife of Mr. John Hewitt, of the Washington foundry. Her child is also injured

Mrs. Gibbs. wife of James Gibbs, carvcr, bruised about the face. Miss Ion Sedgewick, badly bruised in the back and right side.

Mrs. Thomson's youngest son had his arm broken and head cut. Mrs. Pennebaker, head slightly injured

MEN KILLED.

Mr. Taylor and child. Mr. Godfrey, residence Fifteenth between Madison and Chesnut.

Mr. Sweeney, 60 years of age. Mr. Barbour. Alex. McClelland, from New York, engaged at the locomotive works.

R. B. Davis, residence Green below Twelfth. Mrs. Salisbury, wife of the city pumpmaker.

Mrs. Martin, wife of John M. Martin, formerly a saddler on Main street. Mrs. Jeannette Wicks, wife of Capt. William Wicks, of the steamboat Atlanta.— Mrs. Wicks was the neice of Mrs. Martin, and was one of the most estimable ladies we have ever known. We were conversing with her on Saturday evening, and little dreamed that we should never see her again.

Several gentlemen were injured, but we could hear definitely of only two names.— Mr. Ragan, the day watchman of the lower ward, and a gentleman named Browning, v.-ho was injured in saving his child. We understand that Mr. Joseph Bradley, while assisting in recovering the victims from the fallen rubbish and timbers, had his eye cut out by a hatchet which was in use by another person engaged in removing the fallen rafters and joints.

As soon as the news of the catastrophe was conveyed to the neighboring churches, the congregations were immediately dismissed, and men and women by thousands repaired to the scene of ruin and zealously cleared away the rubbish and the timbers from the dead and the wounded.

The Rev. Mr. Morrison was officiating in the church at the time of the catastrophe. The church was to have been dedicated xt Sabbath.

Incidents.—It is not in the power of pen or language to describe the varied scenes and incidents of yesterday. Mothers in frantic agony seeking their children, wives their husbands, children their parents, as they wandered through the assembled crowd, filling the air with cries of mourning, causing all to drop the sympathetic tear, and desire to invoke the same vast Power to raise the fallen structure, and restore the dear ones sought. But alas! each piercing shriek reveals the fact that some new dead form has been brought to light. Here comes a father borne along by friends who have taken him from his bed of death next the mother, then the daughter and two sons—all crushed—mutilated—dead Truly this is a house of mourning.

We heard that a small child in the lower part of the city was caught iirthe storm, and blown away but whether it \^s subsequently found or not, we did not learn.

While the worshippers at the Cathedral, on Fifth street were at their devotions, th^ edge of the storm swept by the front door and main aisle, and the people were blown about, and actually forced from their feet in the utmost confusion.

The building of .the Walnut street Baptist Church was decidedly shaken, and some fifteen minutes afterwards several panes of glass in one of the north window® cracked, evidently caused by the settling of the walls.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE COLPIKE. A most villainous attempt was made ai few days since at Lexington, Kentucky, by a hireling bully of the notorious murderer, Matt. F. Ward, to assassinate Col. Samuef Pike, editor of the Kentucky Flag, for some remarks made editorially through the columns of that paper, noticing the 'recent passage through Paris, of the notorious assassin. The remarks were to the point, and were such as all such scoundrels should be made to read, to have a true understanding of their character and the estimation in which they are held in every commuuity.

We cannot for the life of us, imagino how the Wards or their friends can resent any thing that may be said of him, it matters not how hard it may be brought to bear. The crime which he committed was tho highest known to our laws, and that he murdered Professor Butler without any cause whatever, no one doubts who is at all cognizant of the facts in the case. It was murder in the first degree and nothing else, and none but a perjured and hired jury could have decided otherwise.

We are pleased to learn that Col. Pike received no injury at the hands of the assassin who attacked him. Let him learn a lesson from this, and arm himself, and when attacked, to shoot the rffiuans down as he would a dog who made war upon him. It is the only way to protect yourself under such circumstances, and it is the most effectual way of disposing of your antagonist. —Franklin Democrat.

KNOW NOTHING OUTRAGE. An outrage was committed at Shelbyville on Thursday of last week, by a KnowNothing murdering in cold blood a German and a Catholic. We understand that the person who was murdered had given no offense to this Know Nothing assassin, but simply because he happened to come up at the time he was quarreling with another, it so enraged him he struck him and killed him instantly. Such assassins 6hould be swung up without judge jer jury. "If Lynch law should be enforced at all it is in such cases as this one.—Franklin Democrat.

ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—As the down express train was aproaching the depot on Saturday night, the locomotive ran off the track, and is badly smashed up.— Fortunately the cars had been detached and kept the track, but were brought up against the tender, which they broke up.— It is believed that some scoundrel had altered the switch, thus causing the accident. No one was seriously injured. The engineer was thrown on to the track, when or how he does not know, but was not hurt. The Locomotive the Orleans is badly wrecked.—3*. A. Ledger.

AMALGAMATION.—The New York Times is responsible for the following: A Correspondent sends us the following curious advertisement cut from the Journal du Havre of the 6th of August:^ "DEMANDE EN MARRIAGE.—On desire truver pour une veuve, de 1'age de trente ans, ayant une dot de fr. -60,000, un Negrode l'arge de quarante cinq ans, ayan recu une bonne education.
