a® From the New Albany J)ailv ledger. ^/STsomeof our readers may be curious to know something of the individual to

vwhom

belongs the honor of having origin

ated the Know Nothing Order. The name of this famous individual is E. Z. C. Judson, better known as "Ned Buntline." This

remarkable specimen of the genus homo first became generally known to fame by some little episodes of which he was the hero in Nashville, Tennesse. Buntline was a dashing fellow—showy—and of attractive out-

-ward appearance. In Nashville he became acquainted with a Mrs. Porterfield. He at Vlength succeeded in seducing her. The husband becoming acquainted with what t^was going on, attacked udson in the street.

Judson, expecting this, had armed himself, and upon the first advance of Porterfield, shot him dead. The excitement in Nash,ville was intense. An immense multitude, ixcomposed of the best citizens, assembled, -'-And, after due deliberation, it was decided to immediately hang him. A gallows was -"erected in front of the Nashville Hotel, and /a crowd proceeded to search the hotel in -which it was supposed the murderer was concealed. They at length succeeded in driving him from his hiding place. He ran up stairs, the crowd following him, and at length, finding himself pressed on all sides nnd about to fall into the hands of his pursuers, he jumped trom a third story window into the street.' In the fall he broke his leg, -nnd lay maimed, helpless, and bleeding.— "Pity took possession of a portion of the people, and, upon the recommendation of the wore moderate, it was determined to place him in jail to await his trial. But the scoundrel had accomplices who assisted him to break jail, and he was run out of the

State. Some years after this. Judson, having found his way to New York, we find him engaged as the leader of what were called the Astor Place riots, which caused the death of large number of persons. The leading cause of these riots was nothing more thaa a miserable qaarrel between a couple of actors—Forrest and Macready. Macready was playing at the Astor Place Opera House, and a gang of rowdies and vagabonds, of whom Judson was the leading spirit, made an attack on the building, which resulted, as we have said, in the death of a large number of persons. Judson and a number of his brother rowdies vere arrested. Most of them, on account

of their youth and inexperience, were sen- jPact

head was shaved, a pair of striped breeches put on his limbs, and he set-to pecking rock. He served out his year, and we guess this is nbout the only year the wretch ever honestly earned the bread he eat. At the expiration of the sentence, his fellow rowdies and vagabonds determined to get up a grand procession to escort him from the penitentiary into New York. The procession •was formed, and perhaps presented the most extraordinary spectacle ever witnessed in that sight-seeing city. There were some fellows with blear eyes, some with blackened eyes, some with bloodshot eyes, some whose eyes rolled like a maniac's, some with one eve, and some with only a part ot an eye some whose noses had been shcd in, some with noses bitten off, some with

noses knocked to the right side, and some«j

to the left side some with ears bitten off,

their toes in a man trap, or else had noti

air with their blasphemies and obscenities. They curscd the Judges, cursed the District Attorney who had prosecuted Judson, curscd the Governor who had refused to paidon him, and praised Judson, or Buntline as a persecuted saint..

The last we heard of Judson, he was in jail, in Rhode Island we think, on a charge of bigamy. The presumption is that he will be sent to the penitentiary.

This is the individual who originated the beautiful order of Know Nothings. The first time Judson "tried it on" was in 1852. when he attempted, through it, to defeat the man who had been most influential in sending him to the penitentiary. In this he was not successful. How proud the Know Nothings must be of their great progenitor! ,i With what delight most they dwell on his •J soblc qualities, of head and heart! IIow refreshing it must be to them to look back oxer his career «ad reflect how blameless

"In contemplating the cause which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western

whence designing men may excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burnings which spring from these misrepresentations they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together, by fraternal affection."

WILL INDIANA BE TRUE TO HERSELF

AND THE UNION.

It is but little more than half a century, since the Republic, dripping from its babtism of blood, was presented to the legatees of the revolutionary fathers, as the legitimate fruits of their proud and memorable struggle, and already is it proposed to dishonor their memory, and trample their priceless and blood-stained legacy under foot.

It is but little more than a quarter of a century, since Indiana was added to the constellation of stars, and made a partner to the glorious confederation of States, and already she is called upon to forget her first love, and ask for a dissolution of the com-

Slaves are not property when they are not made so by the municipal law." 'This is the opinion of one of the ablest and most distinguished jurists in the United States. It was the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States. We apprehend the people of Indiana will be more willing to take the opinion of lawyers and judges, such as John McLean, Jloger B.

warned his countrymen against the injlu' ence of secret political associations. Against the formation of sectional or geographical parties.

Against the endeavors of unprincipled demagogues to convince the people that the interests of the North are not identified with those of the South.

Against any interference with the free^ dom of religious opinion. Against the influence of foreign governments and associations who concern themselves with the domestic institutions of our country.

Citizens of Indiana, remember those things, and on the second Tuesday of October vote down the "Know-Nothings," which is a secret political association.

Z&BULON BARID, ESQ.

It seems that all the venom of vituperative abuse and calumnious denunciation contained in the whole English vocabulary, is being heaped upon the head of our fel-low-townsman, Mr. Baird, by the Horace Greeley, Wm. Loyd Garrison party, merely because he differs with them in sentiment on the Nebraska Bill, and because he is i.ot willing that the whig party of which he is an able and eloquent defender, should he be«solc! soul and body, to the Wooly-head-ed Abolitionists of the North. We clip the following highly complimentary notice of his speech at Logansport,, a short time since, from the Pharos, and ask for it a candid and impartial perusal:

Zebulon Baird, Esq., of Lafayette, art old line Whig, spoke in the afternoon and evening. He declared his determination to act with the democratic party in the can: vass because there was no other National party. His speech was clear argumentive. He examined the position of the Fusionists upon the Nebraska question, and one by one showed their utter fallacy. He arjrued

LOOK TO THE CONSTITUTION. The ultra Maine Law advocates, at their State convention in January, resolved that nothing would satisfy them less than a temperance law embodying the principles "seizure, confiscation, and destruction."— We will not now argue the abstract proposition of the injustice and tyrany of such a law. Thev must be evident to all. But there is an insurmountable objection to the enactment of a law embracing these provisions, and one which cannot be overcome. It is a plain and palpable violation of the constitution of the State of Indiana, which contains the following section: "No man's particular services shall he demanded without just computation.

I now say to him that if I Wrote a libel, he has peiju-1 red himself in his deposition now on file in I Court. If there has been any lying done, I have told the lie and sworn to it.

If he had 5 ONE-QU A TITER as much brains as KAR-WAX he would see that my last does not retract or contradict anything I said in my first, except what was said about stagjdance.— Soon after our first appeared in print, somo Mafceites were talking about getting a certificate from us "taking back" what I had said about the stag-dance. I saw what they were driving at, and said to one of them that I would not "take back" and be silent on the dance, but would correct what had been said about the dance by saying that Mace did not lead in the dance, but came in the room where the dance was going ou and wanted to dance, but his friends would not lek him, he then swore he would play 1 cards.

JUDGE DOUGLAS

TEMPERANCE.

ILLINOIS.—We

have,

in the Morris (111.) Gazette, of the IGtli inst., accounts of the speeches of Senator Douglas at Morris?, Ottawa, Peru and Joliet. The meetings at each of these places were the largest ever convened there. Judge Douglas's speecees were received with the greatest enthusiasm, and cheer upon cheer resounded through the air for their favorite Senator. The Chicago abolitionists find no echoes of their odious doctrines among the honest yeomanry of Illinois.

Till i: AS PREACiriNf:. I We take pleasure in transferring the following remarks on a Prohibitory Liquor Law to our columns. They arc from the Philadelphia Xeics, and contain some highly important truths: "We vet disagree with many valued friends on the direct issue and in common witii many others, lament that it has been made, at the same time, the foot ball and the stepping stone for creatures, the most insincere and unprincipled, who have used if for personal aggrandizement or political preferment/ whilst they have betrayed its real friends and cursed the community with an exhibition of immorality and dishonesty, which is calculated to bring disgrace upon the entire people.

To us it is a matter of no moment whether the vote to be cast in October next be in favor of, or against the Prohibitory Liquor Law, it is enough for us to know that it has been long enough the pliant tool of corrupt and designing men, and that whilst it has been made use of in the pulpit for Robesperian nurposes, blackening character, or administering to the depraved appetite of the human heart, still, left under the clerical garb, it ha at the same time served the purpose to invest the political blackguardwith a character otherwise doomed to infamv, and i:is therefo/e that as the canvass, approaches, we shall from time to time. c: ll upon the people to exercise, not their passions or prejudice, but their deliberate^ judgment upon the subject."

The Sews is a whig paper, but it see.v cleaily through the Prohibitory question, and we trust its obcervations may have a happy effect in coring the prevailing insanity in favor of a Maine Liquor L^?t
