OUIt CANDIDATES.

This week we present to the voters of Montgomery county, the names of tho National Democratic candid.1ites, nominated bv the Convention on last Saturday. Thev were nominated in broad daylight under the canopy of heaven. They are men who possess the very best of qualifications for the several offices for which thev were nominated, nnd as regards their moral standing in tho community as good and useful citizens, none can question. They arc untrammeled and unbound by extra judicial and illegal oaths, having never sworn to proscribo any man on account of his religious tenants, but are as they have always been, advocates of religious toleration.— Which will you give your suffrages too?— Tho candidates that were nominated by a midnight, oath-bound political Order, that exacts from every member a solemn oath to proscribe and persecute his fellow-man who worships God according to the dictates of his own conscience, or the men who respect and revere the blessing of civil and religious liberty, and regard the constitution of this glorious confederacy as higher authority and more binding than all the illegal and rediculous oaths ever administered by designing demagogues since the birth of the Jesuit Order?

National Democrats, the time for action has arrived. Let us go into this fight with the determination of conquering one of the most unscrupulous and intolerant factions that ever raised its hydra-head in a civilized community. Let us inscribe upon our banners the memorable words of the gallant Commodore Lawrence, ''Don't give up the Ship," but fight to the last man. Let every one consider himself a host, a committee of one, a club, and go into the fight with his coat off and bis sleeves rolled up, and mark our prediction—the enemy will be swept like the leaves of the forest before the tempest.

W. B. Keeney presented us a few

days since with a fine box of cigars, for which we tender bim our warmest thanks. His stock of cigars and tobacco comprise the finest brands, and you that love the weed, go to Keeney's, where you will be sure to get a choice article. Country dealers will find it to their advantage to open accounts with his establishment, as we are confident he will sell en the most advantageous tciws. E

THE CONTENTION."

The National Democratic Convention on last Saturday exceeded anything of the kind ever known in the political history of the county. In magnitude and enthusiasm it equalled, if not surpassed, the palmiest days of the once glorious old Whig party that swept the country in 1840. For several days previous to the eighth, the sky had been overcast with dark threatening clouds that seemed the precursor of an approaching storm. The Abolitionists of the town prayed secretly in their hearts that a deluge might burst upon us on that eventful day, that their eyes might not behold the proud and triumphant legions of the Democracy, assembling like a vast army in council upon the affairs of the nation. It is needless to say that their impious prayer3 were not heard, for the mists were dispelled and the morning of the eighth broke in unclouded brilliancy. The sun that, rose on that morning was the "sun of Austcrlitz," and amid the roar of cannon it climbed to its meridian, to shed its gladsome and genial rays upon a Republic, that under the fostering care of the Democracy has grown into a mighty empire, embracing within its limits the frozen lakes of the North and the orange groves of the South. Stretching from ocean to ocean, with countless lines of railways traversing its vast domains, with inexhaustible wealth and unbounded prosperity, with a population of thirty millions of free and happy people, enjoying the blessings of civil and religious liberty. When these inestimable jewels of a nation's pride and honor are threatened by the parricidal hands of traitors, no wonder that there is an upheaving of the American people, to preserve inviolate the blood-bought liberties transmitted to them by illustrious sires, the perpetuity of which is now so seriously menaced by the enemies of the Republic— the dark-lantern Abolition party of the North.

At 10 o'clock the various delegations accompanied with music and banners, began to assemble on the commons in the south part of town, where the procession at 11 o'clock was formed, and at a signal gun from the Jackson Artillery, proceeded down Green street to the corner of Pike, from thence to Water, and down to the corner of Main, through which they marched to the grove of B. W. Hanna in the west part of town. Every window on Main street was crowded with spectators to witness the grand procession, and listen to the eloquent music discoursed by the New Albany Saxhorn end Attica Bands. The procession was some three miles in length and presented a magnificent spectacle. The number of banners, flags, and pennants seemed almost endless, and as the mighty hosts moved through town, the leaders of the dark-lantern faction stood aghast, their knees smote together, for they saw in that procession a sufficient number of voting national men to carry the county by a majority of at least three hundred. Heaven has decreed their fate, and next October will witness the total overthrow of the bloody monster Sam, that in his short and inglorious career has murdered a hecatomb of innocent victims—sparing neither age nor sex.

On motion of the Hon. J. E. McDonald, the meeting was organized by calling Hon. hwan Brookshiro to the Chair.

Joseph Allen, of Brown, Chilion Johnson, of Union, David Shannon, of Scott, D. D. Nicholson, of Clark, Sam'l R. Smith, of Coal Creek, Capt. Samuel Watson, of llipley, John S. Gray, of Wayne, Dr. Henry Keenev, of Madison, John Corben, of Sugar Creek, Thomas Micheals, of Franklin, and Thos. Wilson, of W alnut, were selected as Vice Presidents and Charles II. Bowen and B. W. Hanna, Secretaries.

All the townships not yet having reached the ground, on motion, it was decided not to proceed with the nominations until all the delegates from the several precincts were present.

Mr. Willard being loudly called for, came forth in his power and addressed the people as but very few can address them. It would be folly for us to attempt to follow him in his giant strides through all the sublime provinces of his towering thought and mighty eloquence. He first took up the slaverv question, traced out its history, the manner in which it was first introduced into the country, and its progress in the developments of our system of legislation.— His view of the slavery question in its application to the territories, was certainly clear enough to convince any mind sufficiently free of bias and prejudice to be convinced. -He showed clearly and distinctly ihat the fathers laid down for us the doctrine of partition of the territories as a settlement of this perplexing question—that this policy was pursued until the Congress of 1060, pressed by emergencies, was forced to give us a new policy. And Mr. Willard showed that it was no exclusive Whig or Democratic measure, but that it was the golden fruit of the patriotism of both parties. "You all remember," said he, "how it was in those stormy times, when we all

thought the Union was in danger, and how eagerly we watched the flag of our country, in shreds as it was, amidst the rushing tempest clinging to the staff which the fair goddess of Liberty still held with unrelenting grasp. But," continued the or§tor, "the storm blew over, the clouds passed away, and the glorious day king in all his meridian splendor oncc more poured the flSods of his light and glory all over this joyous land." The speaker proved that that was one instance in our history when wise legislation prevented the rupture of these States. He showed as no one of the opposition leaders dares to deny that that legislation was the very same which the Democratic party is this day seeking to establish. We cannot trace him through the argument, we wish we could, we wish every Democrat and every Red Republican in Montgomery county could have heard him for themselves, the former that they might be more strongly fortified in their most holy faith, and the latter that they might be made the more fully to understand the danger of their recklessness and disunion proclivities.

Mr. Willard's comments on Know Nothingism were full of scorn and withering satire. But the poor, miserable, bloody monster needs no further denunciation. His history is written in blood—all know it by heart. All we have to say of Mr. Willard's effort is, that it was never surpassed in this State, and long may he live and go on conquering and to conquer until he has crushed out from the land all the bigotry and intolerance of Fanaticism and Know Nothingism.

After Mr. Willard had closed his effort, the Convention voting by townships, made up the following ticket, which was unanimously declared to be the National Democratic ticket for Montgomery county, at the next ensuing election:

For Representative—SILAS PETERSON, of Sugar Creek township. For Clerk—W. C. VANCE, of Union.

For Auditor—JAMES GILKEY, of Union. For Commissioner—SAMUEL GILLILAND, of Union township.

For Coroner—T. H. WINTON, of Union. After the nominations, Hon. Sam'l. Buskirk, of Bloomington, was introduced to the convention, and for about two hours edified his audience with a speech seldom surpassed for logic and happy illustration. We listened to him throughout with the most unqualified pleasure. Nothing would give us greater satisfaction than to give the speech entire. We disclaim any intention to flatter, when we say that Mr. Buskirk does not let the people hear from him enough he has the capacity to do great good to the party, by his argument of its principles, and at the same time establish for himself a solid and enviable reputation. We sincerely regret our want of space for even a skeleton of his speech. In the name of the De­

mocracy of Montgomery, we hereby give

Mr. Buskirk a standing invitation to every meeting hereafter to be called in the coun­

ty. There will be a place on the platform always reserved for him. He has ever an abiding place in Democratic memory of which he may well be proud.

Mr. Buskirk was followed by Mr. Carlfnn. of the Bloomington News Letter,

O O

Mr.

Carlton loves the Democratic party, we know but if he only loves it half as earnestly as he detests Know Nothingism, he'll do, that's all we have to say on the subject. We wish Mr. Carlton" would make just such a speech as he made here in every county in the State. Let those, however, who wish to see Know Nothingism and Abolitionism get their dues, subscribe to his excellent paper.

ON WITH THE FIGIIT.

During the last week the citizens of Crawfordsville have witnessed a gladiatorial encounter between DANIEL W. VOORHEES and JAMES WILSON. The one the champion of Democracy and the other the champion of bigotry and intolerance. Like mailed warriors, they met at the Court House, and crossed their lances. The contest was witnessed by the friends of both, and was concluded on last Thursday night. Wilson sustained himself gallantly and did all that any man could, to defend his odious principles, but to no purpose. He fell beneath the mighty and ponderous arguments of his adversary, and retired from the field with his lance broken and his shield shivered.— Mr. Wilson is a gentleman of fine talents, and we have no disposition to crow over his defeat, from the fact that we challenge any man, we care not who he may Jbe, to defend successfully the doctrines of Know Nothing Abolitionism before an intelligent

audience.

O

S3T James Wilson, an attache and sub rosa of the Montgomery Journal, the organ of the Dark Lantern Abolition faction in this country, was busily engaged on last Saturday in taking notes at the Convention. We presume he will make the Journal of this week unusually scurrillous. He has the ability, having served his apprenticeship under Bugbum Fry.

[For the Review.

WALNUT TOWNSHIP, Mont. Co., Ind.,) Sept. 10 th, 1855. Mr. EDITOR, Dear Sir:—Last fall I had the misfortune to be drawn into a secret political Order, commonly known as "Know Nothings," but whose real name was the "Order of the Star Spangled Banner."— 0. S. McNeil, a citizen of your town was the individual that enticed me into the concern. He said that the power of the Catholics were alarming, and unless we done something speedily we should all be killed that the Irish in this county had their shanties stocked full of arms and only wanted a favorable opportunity to slaughter the entire protestant community. *He further stated that the Order was the old democratic party that was being reorganized to prevent the resusitation of the old Whig party, that with the aid of the Catholic vote would triumph in the next Presidential election. He said he was a democrat of the first water, that he supported old Jackson against Adams, and never voted anything but a clean democratic ticket. Now McNeil was almost an entire stranger to me. I knew nothing of his politics nor his character, and relying upon the truth of his statements I concluded, partly through curiosity, fear of Catholics and the chances of the whig party coming up again, to go in and sea the workings of this new institution. As a matter of course I was sworn by what they termed a solemn oath. If anybody asked me if I belonged to the Know Nothings or any secret political order, I was sworn to equivocate, and if pressed to answer,—that I did not, in other words lie. I believe my parents always admonished me to speak the truth, and I must say that when I found that I was to practice lieing in order to put down Catholics and whigs, my confidence in the institution was considerably shaken. I continued a member of the Order until three weeks since, when I made up my mind that I would leave, satisfied '.hat the whole affair is one of the most outrageous pieces of demafou^eism ever invented bv man. If my

life is spared, I shall vote the democratic ticket this fall, and you may rest assured— I speak from positive knowledge—the Order will be so badly whipped this fall that they wiil look for gimblet holes to crawl into.— I am rather a poor hand in writing for a newspaper, consequently I am unable to convey my thoughts as I would wish, but hope theso few remarks will prove interesting to your readers.

Respectfully Yours, A COUNTRY BOY.

For the Keview.

FE: WHITESVILLE, Ind., Sept. 5th, 1855. Mr. BOWEN:—The old line Democratic

meeting at this place yesterday was attend­

ed by over one hundred voters. A large

turn-out for a mere country meeting. We noticed a number of old line Whigs in at­

tendance, national men, who prefer fighting in the national democratic ranks, to be­

ing sold, body and soul to the abolitionists,

by such men as Iienry S. Lane and John Beard. We also noticed a few K. N's.

skulking around the outskirts of the crowd, and we could see their heads droop, and their cheeks pale under the withering re­

buke dealt out to them with no sparing hand

by Col. Willson. Our voung friend B. W. Tianna, fiiat addressed the meeting, upon the various top­

ics of the day, in his usual happy and elo­

quent style. L. D. Ingersoll, of Iowa, being called up­

on, mounted the rostrum and made a short,

but eloquent and well-timed speech. Welcome, Dan, to the democratic ranks. S. C. Willson followed next. It was the general impression, that the Col. made one of his best speeches. He handled the darklantern faction with ungloved hands, and the members of that party present, appeared to feel the force of his withering denunciations they cowered and shrank beneath his ponderous blows like men conscious of guilt. The Col's, speech will long be remembered by the democracy of this vicinity.

I must relate a little incident that took place after the meeting broke up. Our young democratic friend of Crawfordsville, was conversing with some of his friends, when an old and rather noted K. N. interrupted him by saying: "Mr. you appear to be a very knowing man, will you be so kind as to tell me whether you can tell a K. N. by sight." "I sometimes think I can," replied "Well, sir," says our Iv. N. bracing himself back pompously and cocking his hat on the side of his head, "look at me and tell this crowd whether I am a K. N. or not." "Well," replied after examining him from head to foot for a moment, "you are a stranger to me, but from the singular shape of your head, and a peculiar twinkle of your eyes, I would most emphatically pronounce you a Know Nothing." The shout that went up from the crowd attested the truth of prediction, to the evident discomfiture of our K. N. G. W. W.

23T James Hannah is now receiving his stock of fall and winter clothing.— Look out for advertisement next week.

"THE GYMPSOMA CLUB." This Club meets to-night at the Court House. Its leaders are Bughum Fry, Jamss Wilson and Isaac Naylor, the Grand High Priests of the Chris. Miller Order, that previous to the completion of the Temperance Hall, held their midnight counsels in every old deserted garret and cellar in and around the town of Crawfordsville. Initiations having become of late so rare, they feel the necessitv of trying a new dodge to entrap the young and unsuspecting. To accomplish which, they crawl from their dens into the Court House, and drawing the lion skin over their jackass forms, call themselves Jefferson men. Was there ever such arraDt and damnable hypocracy practiced by even Lucifer himself. They Jefferson men? Why, their whole lives have been spent in villifying and abusing the sage of Monticello. They have denounced him as as a radical, an infidel, and an enemy to his country. Away with such base disemblance, the honest mass want none of it. Gentle­

men Thugs, your gympson weed institution won't win. Crawl like the reptile back to your dens and with the flickering light of your dark lanterns stare at each other like brainless Hottentots.

r~

A PROPOSED TEA PARTY. Some of the Thugs propose giving a tea party at Temperance Hall on Thursday evening. Foreign teas will be excluded and a strong decoction of dog-fennel and gympson used on the occasion. The twenty-five dollar charter purchased from Godlove SOrth will be shown at five cents a peep, also the daguerreotype of a brazen-faced prostitute, used so successfully in entrapping young men into the Order.

"Who is that rakish looking indi­

vidual," enquired a young lady of another, a few days since, while McNeil was passing down Green street, "Why, that—that's the Know Nothing candidate for county clcrk." "Why, law-me-sus, they don't expect to elect him do they?" "Yes," replied the fair one, "they expect to elect him—that is, over the left," pointing her finger over her loft shoulder.

PRESENTS TO THE EDITOR.—During the past week we have been presented with a splendid pair of high-heeled, cork-solcd boots, a three dollar Shanghai hat, nnd a box of choice Huvana cigars. As soon as Main street is graded and graveled, we shall have to take a stiff. Can't remain quiet much longer.

ROBINSON, VANCE Sc CO. This well known firm are now receiving their stock of Fall and Winter Goods. We notice among the large and splendid assortment of goods their stock of boots and shoes to which we invite the attention of the citizens of the county. If upon an examination they do not find them to bo superior to anything of the kind ever brought to this market, we will acknowledge ourselves incompetent to judge.

i£57" Voorhees' spetch on last Thursday niffht caused Know Nothing stock to fall fifty per cent. McNeil has several small shares left which he will sell cheap.

BETTER FROM CO I,. CARPENTER. That our Fusion friends may know certainly, the use we made of Col. 11. B. Carpenter's name as one of our speakers was not "merely to get a crowd here," we submit the following excellent letter from that eminent orator, revoking for reasons he could not control the agreement he entered into at Indianapolis to be with us at our Convention on the 8th:

COVINGTON, KY., Sept. 6th, 1855. B. W. HANNA Esq., Dear Sir:—Your favor of the 3d inst. reached me this morning, and I loose not a moment in replying, that I cannot possibly be with you on the interesting occasion to which you allude, on account of the severe illness of my sister who resides with me. I regret this very much, but there is no remedy. I should be most happy to meet the gallant Democracy of Montgomery county, devoted as I know them to be, in common with thrt entire Democratic. party in your growing young State, to the Union, the Constitution, and the welfare and glory of our country. It is true the allies of Know Nothingism, bigotry and Fanaticism defeated us in the last contest, but with our principles founded in truth eternal and unchangeable, we shall rise again gathering new strength from the fall, and go on conquering and to conquer, all parties adverse to Democratic principles and government.

For the kind invitation extended me, present to the Democracy my warmest thanks, and for your own warm-hearted manner of conveying it, believe me,

Ever your friend, R. B. CARPENTER.

fcj-The Cincinnati Price Current of the 5th says: We hear of no movement in the market for hogs. Packers are not desirous to make contracts, except to a very limited extent, and for early delivery. Hogs for December are freely offered at §6 net, without purchasers. The excessively large growing crop of corn, with the prospective high price of hogs, is expected to produce an amount of meat in the west larger than that of last year, notwithstanding the deficiency that is supposed to exist in the supply of stock hogs. & »T

LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE CABLE. [From"the N. Y. Evening Post.] On Sattarday morning, the 26th of August, the steamer took the bark Sarah E* Bryant in tow, which had arrived from Liv-. erpool with the cable on board, and set out from Cape Roy Cove, Newfoundland, for Cape Breton. A violent northwest wind was blowing, and while the vessels were endeavoring to get into line, a slight collission took place, which seriously strained the cable. The attempt was then given up, but the bark soon afterwards losthoi: anchor, and was drifting before the gale upon a reef of rocks, when she WAS obliged to cut the cable and set sail, to save herself from wreck.

The cable was spliced on the following day but as the junction was found not to be sufficiently strong, the two miles which had* already been paid out were abandoned, and a new end hauled ashore and made fast.— On the morning of Tuesday the 29th, the weather was calm nnd propitious and the steamer towed the bark to sea. Her progress was slow at first, and by night not more than twenty miles of the cable were laid. Owing to a kink produced by coiling it broke during the night, occasioning a delay of eight hours. The paying-out went on more rapidly next day, but a southeastern gale arose toward evening,'and became so violent that tho safety of the'bark was endangered.

Tlic waves swept over her every moment and as a considerable portion of her dock* were open to admit the paying out of cable, fears began once more to be entertained for her safety. Every one was on deck on the James Adger, watching the fated ship. Between the two the huge hawser rose and fell with convulsive jerks, burying' itself deep in the waves when it slackened at every tug. The gale increased in intensity, and on the deck of the Sarah Bryant no man could stand upright. Behind her one could see, falling like a thin thread into the seething waves, the slender cable that still held its own. Then came the signal that two of the wires had ceased to act. Therewas still a chance left, that by tho bounty of Providence the remaining wire might reach Cape North, or at best, St. Paul's Island, in safety. Every heart was brim full of. anxiety. It was no common loss that all sorrowed over by anticipation. Ono of the arteries of civilization was about to be sevr ered. Still the cablc held.

One daring man tried to speak to the Adger, by climbing out on the bowspirit of the bark but the storm was too high and hoarse, and his voice was drowned. Heshook his head, however, three times, sorrowfully, and all then knew that the last wire had ceased to act. Still the cable held. The wind rose higher and higher.— The bark pitched as if she would cleave her way to the bottom, and a gloomy anticipation sat on every countenance. At last, at 4 o'clock, P. M., Capt. Poseland gave the fatal word. A few strokes of the axe, a snap and forty miles of the cable sunk forever in the sea. There was no one on board any of those ships, that witnessed this sad sacrifice, butfelt real sorrow for the causo of humanity and those gentlemen who had made such earnest efforts to promote it.— A very short time after the cable was severed, the British war steamer Argus, with Admiral Fanshawe, came in sight and offered assistance. An hourbefore, she might liave been of great use, but all was then ever.

We understand that the actual cost of the cable delivered at Port au Barques, including the expense of insurance and the cost of transportation was 875,000, upon which there was a full insurance in England —the policy covering tho transportation and the process of laying the cable. There had been forty and one-half miles paid out when the cable was cut, and we were within twelve miles of St. Pauls, where it had been determined to make a temporary point' of attachment, and which, in all probability, would have been accomplished had it not been for a detention of eight hours the night previous. It is not improbable that apart of the lost cable, if not all of it, may be recovered, but it can only be done by a heavy expenditure of time and monoy. Such is the weight of it, (between five and six tons to the mile,) and such the depth of water and the perils of the sea that it will be a dangerous and expensive undertaking.

AMERICA EIGHTS HER OWN BATTLES—SHE EIGHTS THEM QUICK AND WELL.

The London Advertiser of a recent date, in an article, incidentally touching upon American affairs, took oocasion to contrast the condition and prospects of tho Union with those of Great Britain. Among other things it said:

Contemplate England, groaning with taxation, and struggling in a sanguinary war, with her trade deranged, her populace discontented, her government the corrupt machine of an oligarchy, and her revenues squandered for she knows not what—and contrast her with America—the America that British Cabinet Ministers treat with so much indifference, whose statesmen are cultivating the arts of peace, and whose commerce is gathering a golden harvest to the nation. She it is that stands boldly forward in her civil greatness she it is that presents a striking contrast to the military despotisms of Kurope she it is that—with her two thousand miles of unguarded coasts, her unwalled cities, her meagre navy-— combines within herself the elements necessary to a great military nation. Peace reigns at her fireside her throne is not in mourning. Her legislators are devising means to relieve an overflowing treasury, her trade is vigorous, her people arc increasing beyond comparison in wealth.-^-Her government is at least cheap and useful. Would that we could say the same. England spends her blood and treasure in fighting the battles of unthankful neighbors. America fights her own battles—she fights them quick and well." ..

B3T The foreign news by the last steamer is of but little importance.
