DEMOCRAT^ STATE CONVENTION. The j)jflpratic State Convermon will assemble -at ttf£ State House, in Indianapo-

I is, on Tuesday, the 8th of January next, at 0 o'clock, A. M. It will not be a ma6S

meeting, but a meeting of delegates from the tevoral countics, for the purpose of

nominating candidates for the following of­

fices, to-wit: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secre­

tary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Clerk and Reporter for the Supremo Court. Also, a

Democratic State Electoral Ticket and four

Delegates from the State at large to the Democratic National Convention. The du­

ty of determining how the Congressional

Delegates shall be appointed, will also devolve cm the Convention. The State Cen­

tral Committee have uot the power toes-

tablish a ratio of representation for eral counties, but will append to this call, the apportionment established by the last Democratic Convention, atfd would recom­

mend that tho several counties be governed in the selection of Delegates accordingly. By order of the State Central Committee.

W. J. BROWN, Chairman.

Tho following is the ratio of representa­

tion adopted at the Convention of May 24,

1854: "That each county be entitled to one

delegate for every 20C Democratic votes cast at tho Presidential election of 1852

Provided, that no county shall have less

than two Delegates."

It is now pretty generally admitted

fEnt Reuben Taylor leads the Fusion party in Montgomery county. It is decidedly

rich to attend their meetings, and hear Reuben pitch into the old liners. He's like

a roaring lion among asses. Listen with what timidity Wilscn ventures to suggest

hig'plan of action. Then behold how he

quakes and quivers in his boots when the mnjcsUc Reuben interrupts him with a scowl

and a reprimand for his weakness in not standing right up to the rack and facing the

music. Reuben believes in no dodging.—

He is determined that the fusion party shall

carry search, seizure, confiscation and destruction upon their backs in the coining

campaign whether or no. lie says that Prohibition must and shall be the principal

issue. Wilson and others think it will ruin their prospects for Congress, but so all pow­

erful is Reuben's will that they bend before it to escape his terrible maledictions.

Reuben is just the man to manage these fusionists. They need kicking and cuffing

incessantly to keep them in the traces.— Give them the lash Reuben—the old liners

won't interfere.

jEST In the Journal of last week we notice that Mr. Wilson, in a card denies the

charge of advising Judge Hurley to sell

liquor. We are requested by Mr. Joseph

McCullongh to state that Mr. James Wilson informed him personally in front of the

Post Office, "that the fusion party did not intend to prosecute or molest the Judge.—

That if any prosecution was done it would be by the old liners." Now Mr. Wilson

may flatter himself that such language was no encouragement whatever, and that we

misrepresented him. We are aware of the peculiar tight place James is in and have

no disposition to find fault with him for attempting to relieve himself of the charge

•we have preferred against him.

ANOTHER CLERICAL SCOUNDREL. It .seems that we shall never finish pub­

lishing the list of clerical rascals whose line

like the vision of Macbeth stretches out to the crack of doom. Erer since last fall,

when arrant demagogues cloaked in the habiliments of clerical dignity entered into the political arena and preached abolition­

ism and disunionism from their pulpits, have we read weekly of their acts of knave­

ry. Arrogating to themselves the title of preachers, and with all the assumption of

Mahomet set themselves up as divine teachers, whose code of heresies and acts

no one must question. Those who rebeled and opposed the dictation of these Protes­

tant Jesuits were denounced as "preacher haters," old line rummies, and "slavery propagandists," besides having hurled up­

on their devoted heads showers of Billingsgate epithets. The discerning sense and

judgmont of a discriminating public howover is fast perceiving the hypocrisy of these

a an a in he a re to a a the progress of Christianity. Like Mokan-1

a a to he wolfish visage, revealing a hideous monster

of iniquity and crime. The breaking up. a is in a an O

der served in a no small degree to accelera® their downfall and expose their damna­

ble hypocrisy. The last of these clerical rascals of whom wc have any account, ap­

peared in our town some three weeks since. He introduced himself as Doctor Miller, a

professor of divinity and laborer in the Lord?# vineyard. Ilis skin was of the

darkest ebony, and his head sported a lux­

uriant growth of pure native American wool, whjich with a pair of large dreamy eyes of

chalky whiteness, together with an elegant display of ivory, made him one of the most

fascinating objects of Abolition admiration imaginable. By request of the Rev. Mr.

Smith, he was invited to preach in the

Methodist Church, which invitation his sable Highness condescended to accept. In

his exhortation, he exhibited the zeal of a Joe Smith, tho eloquence of a Wilson, the

deep, ponderous thought of a Dougherty, and the vanity and hypocrisy of a Fry.—

Indeed he seemed to combine in his intellectual organization all the elements of greatness that go to mako up the above,

mentioned geutlemen. During his sojourn he was treated with marked attention by

many of the members of the Abolitiun Know, Nothing Order, some of wliora invited him

down to Judge Hurley's, where it is said he quaffed prodigious potations of real na­

tive corn juice. We understand that a part^ oflns business here was to investigate the .1 financial condition of the underground rail-

road, and that from an examination of tho

books of the agents, (Fry and Dougherty)

expressed himself highly gratified with the earnings of the last year. Fry in his re-

port stated that but one life had been lost|

upon the road during the last season, and

that was through gross carelessness, the deccased having attempted to swim Sugar

Creek in daylight. He calculates the road, a a iv id a in as the State goes Abolition. Dr. Miller, no^

doubt, was well pleased with such favora-

ble results. His stay however was brought

to a speedy termination. He fell in love with a fair daughter of Africa, the wife of

a fusionist and the mother of several young

ethiopians. By his artless and seductive wiles he severed her affections from her. liege-lord and enticed her to take passage

with him on the subterranean railway.— Under the cover of night with naught but

a dark lantern to light them on their way, a a in a a if

disdaining to look upon the clerical adul-1 terer and his black swarthy paramour, they

wended with slow and stealthy step their

way to the Under Ground Depot, taking with them the entire family of children,

six in number. Thus ended with the abolitionists uf Crawfordsville the adventures]

of this black Don Juan. He came, he saw,' be conquered. His exploits partake some-!

thing of the air of romance and without further comments we leave Fry and his admir-

ing abolition friends of..the sable African to their own reflections

0^7" Several gentlemen of Crawfordsville, members of the fusion party, have waited 1

upon us during the last week. They think it very unfair for us to hold their pnrty

responsible for the acts of Dr. Fry. They admit that he is drug upon their party,

that his wilful perversion of truth has dis­

gusted the community. With all due deffcrence to these gentlemen we are obliged

to decline obeying their request. As long as they permit him to conduct their organ

they must not complain if we hold them

strictly accountable for his foolish and silly

statements.

[For the Review^

PROFESSIONAL BEGGARS. We understand from a private source,

that the "Rev. Charles White, D. D., President of Wabash College and Beecher Professor of Moral and Intellectual PhUd'

phy and Political Economy," has rece made a raise of six hundred dollars from a single society in Troy, N. Y.

We think it high time that eastern

people had their eyes opened to the gross

impositions practiced upon them by this and various other institutions of the in the West, which support a professor for

every student they graduate. We belie: we are safe in saying that a large por

of the faculty of this institution came

poor men, some of them broken-down preachers whose talents were not sufficient to procure them a parish among their friends,

at homeThey came like many other eastern adven­

turers to mend their broken fortunes regardless of the means employed, provided

the desirable end was obtained and in this, it would seem, they have been eminently

successful. None of our citizens live in finer houses, dress better, or spend money

more freely. The question naturally arises, whence comes their support? The tuition

fees of the College do not we presume pay one-tenth part of the expenses of the insti­

tution, and in all probability never will, so long as it is conducted on strictly sectarian

principles, the deficiency is made up by svstematic begging in the East. ao

Eastern people are made to believe that

the Bible is, comparatively speaking, an

unknown book in Indiana that the inhabitants of Crawfordsville and vicinity are no

better than Heathens, being for the most

in their creeds

ens have no pi

would never have heard of their Redeemer

had it not been for the self-sacrificing labors of these lovers of truth that those of the

inhabitants who can read and write are exceptions to a general rule in short, that

the social, moral, and religious condition of the Hoosiers is far below that of the inhab­

itants of the Island of Madagascar. The results of these gross misrepresentations is

that ou»- worthy Professors come home with

their pockets crammed with money, which for the most part has been raised among

the East, freely given to support and edu­

cate the poverty stricken sons of Indiana.

There is a law making it a high criminal oftencc to obtain money under false preten­

ses, but undoubtedly these Reverend beg­

gars feel that their Sacedoial garments are

a sure protection against any troubles from

a legal source, and in this belief they are probably right, but the crime is none the

less criminal bccause it remains unpunish­

ed. But the raising of money is not the worst feature in tho case it is collected for

the ostensible purpose of uiding- indigent young men to secure a good education, but

(leaving out the item of board) we believe

it to be quite as expensive graduating here, with an education, which to say the least,

is very superficial, as it would be to obtain a thorough and useful one at Harvard or

Yale.

Indiana is strictly speaking an agricultural State, and most of her young men are the sons of farmers, and they of courso

form a large proportion of the students in

many of our institutions of learning. Now it is a notorious fact that no class of people in

our State are getting wealthy so fast as our

farmers, and none better able to give their sons and daughters a liberal education, but

this is a fact that our worthy professors seem to have entirely overlooked. They

much prefer supporting themselves out of

the scanty earnings of the working men of the east, who live on a barren soil which hardly repays the husbandmen for his la­

bor they apparently well understand the proverb that "a prophet is not without honor, save iu his own country."

It is a lamentable fact thai many of the young people of Indiana arc growing up comparatively speaking uneducated, and

we, of all persons would be the last, by word or deed to injure the success of any

institution of education conducted on right

principles but at the same time we are firm believers in the theory that experi­

ments like that of the Wabash College

should stand or fall by their own merits

and by those slone but so long as it is conducted on sectarian principles and its Pro­

fessors selected, not so much for their ability as their creed, it can never sustain its

£elf except by large and frequent contributions from those who are unacquainted with

its workings. It remains to be seen whether eastern people are willing to sustain the

faculty of Wabash College under these cir­

cumstances.

ALAMO, November 14th, 1855.

Mr. BOWEN—Dear Sir: The attempt made by Fry and his dirty lying correspondent to disprove the charge vou made some

since that the Ivnow Nothings in this nship, attempted to poll illegal votes will

not do. IThe thing is so barefaced that we blush for the man who would thus attempt

to deny what is Jtftfftvn to be true by every man in this nw^Prbood. Of all liars we believe Fry is the most unmitigated. If «ilSjitan don't have the pleasure of his com­

pany in that Kot place so plainly described

Holy Writ, he will be sadly disappoint'ed. Yours respectfully,

AN OLD LINER.

MAGNIFICENT GOODS.—We had the pleas­

ure a few days since of examining the splen­

did stock of Dress Goods which James Hannah has recently received direct from

the east. His stock of cloths are unsurpassed in point of elegant texture and superior

quality. We recommend our friends to

give him a call and examine for themselves. He is ptepared to get up a suit of wearing

apparel in the shortest possible time and in the latest style.

General astonishment and regret were occasioned by the announcement, and angry protests were heard against the Government forcing the nation to so dangerous a war.

A CLUE TO LORD PAL.tIEKSTOX'3 V, All POLICY. The London Chronicle of the 22d ult.,

contains the following paragraph, which seems to throw a little light on the last move

of Lord Palmerston America, it is well known, has long cast a longing eye upon Cuba, and fresh preparations are making for a further attack upon it. There has, for some weeks past, been a rumor that Spain has or is about to join the Western Alliance. We are informed that this is a fact. If so, it is but natural to conclude that England must provide Spain with the means of giving us active assistance, cither in the shape of subsidy or a guarantee loan for several millions.— And further, it is not at all unnatural to suppose that Spain will not fail at such an opportune moment to urge, and perhaps make it a sine qua non of her help, that England pledges to support and maintain her power and sovereignty in Cuba. We have been given to understand, by persons well informed, that such literally is the case. It is, therefore, plain to perceive, under such circumstances, that there is danger of our coming into coliission with American interests, notwithstanding that the governments of the two countries are Lappi'y on so good an understanding gen-

The fact of our West India fleet

being strengthened at such a period as this would, however, indicate that our Government sets the danger here refer to, and prep'rcj accordingly.

on: RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND. Having given the warlike manifesto on

the outside of our paper of some the En­

glish journals we now present two articles of a more pacific character:

THE LAWS OF NEUTRALITY [From the London Glow, Oct. 25.]

interests of the two countries are identified to so intimate and important an extent^hat apprehensions of a collision could only be justified by a much lower estimate of the good sense of ourselves, and of our kinsmen beyond the Atlantic, than the progress of either country among the nations of the world would warrant.

We must, then, look upon it as impossible that any serious difficulty can arise from the supposed breach of the spirit of the United States laws by enlistment for the British service on the frontier, which lias taken place. Even putting aside the question as to the extent which these proceedings infringe the law, we should take the single fact that to all appearance they were discontinued upon representations being made that the United States Government regarded them with disfavor, as a guaran-

O

tee of the cessation of any disagreement that they might have caused. No doubt our squadron on the North American Station has lately received reinforcements, but the American people can hardly be ignorant of the real causes which have dictated this step. If they justly claim that the laws of neutrality be respected, they cannot deny us a similar right.

It unauthorized recruiting be suppressed, there is nothing unreasonable in asking that O O unauthorized privateering should be prevented. The Americans, like ourselves, must be aware that in their ports at this moment large vessels are in various stages of preparation, equipped openly for the serviee of Russia, and to intercept and annoy

long-threatened projects for the invasion of Ireland, (he open discussion of which hardly a mail fails to report.

But it is against these less ambitious enterprises, and not against America, that our squadron is directed. We shall undoubtedly use our strong hand to put them down, but when we do so, it is the misguided people who embark in them, and not the American nation that will have cause for dissatisfaction. For what we are doing we should cheerfully submit to the verdict of the thinking p.-ut of the American commu nitv, who, we feel sure, would he as reluctant as ourselves that any trumped up pretext should be allowed to peril the alliance between us, which mutual respect and mutual interest should make one of the lirmeat in the records of hi^toiy.

THE RUPTURE WITH AMERICA. /t-'rom the Knrop'Jiin TiiiH'H. O.'t. iiT.] The British public mtich'Sfartled as the people of the United States will be by the appearance of an article in the leading journal of Thursday, (the London Times) relative to a misunderstanding between this country and the Ame rican Union. The article to which we refer will be found in another part of our impression, and although we must admit that the tone of the writing in the journal referred is for the most part unexceptionable, still, this intemperate diatribe has bt-en verv generally condemned, and certainly has met with no response on this side of the water. This, as a test of public opinion in England, is conclusive, and the commercial were put in possession for the first time, through the medium in question, of the fact that the governments of the two countries were not on terms as friend!}' as formerly.

The Earl of Ellsmero, in a lecture which he delivered 'he other evening on the subject of the Russian war to the persons in his own immediate neighborhood, made a remarkable statement, remarkable, certainly, when taken in connection with the inflated and bellicose spirit of the article in the Times, Announcing that the British government had largely reinforced tho "West India squadron, in order to check the flllibustering expeditions of the worst portions of American society. "If you were to ask me," said his lordship, "which was the most warlike nation in the world, I should say the United States of America. They have many thousands of miles of frontier, and they have next to no army at all but they have a large population, accustomed to the use of arms, and ready to volunteer in any military expedition. When the inva«ion of Mexico was projected, which was rather a buccaneering sort of an expedition, the government advertised for men, nnd an army of 20,000 were forthcoming in a fortnight. This is what I call a warlike nation."

Lord Ellsmere has rather under than overstated the case, for we have heard or read that in the city of New York alone 5,000 volunteers were enrolled in a single day, and at least twice that number were rejected—the strongest proof of the correctness of the deduction at which he arrived. To address, then, to this inflammable people such language as the Times uses in reference to the misunderstanding between the two countries, can have no oth^ er object than to precipitate hostilities, and produce the very calamities which the writer professes to deplore. See, for instance, how a desire for peace can be insultingly conveyed: "We desire above all things," says the first leader in the Times of Thursday, "a continuance of peace, but if it be the determination of any large portion of the people of the United States to force war upon us, we shall know how to meet it and repel it, without relaxing for an instant our gripe on the throat of the reeling and tottering giant of tho North."

This may appear striking, but in our judgment it is very foolish writing, just that kind of braggadccia in which the fiilibusters themselves indulge. There is no determi

We confess we can hardly see sufficient jflective man that this defiant style is the reason for regarding the position of affairs most effectual method of neutralizing the^ between the* United Stales and Great Brit-'moral influence of the classes to which we^. ain as possessing the threatening aspect with refer, and of strengthening, in the same, which it is invested by some of our contem-, proportion, all the loafers and filibuster* poraries.

All the men of property and position in the country, all the classes which have the greatest influence on public opinion, would deeply regret a rupture wi:h England, and nothing short of national dishonor, or national insult, would indtfte them to countenance itf* but it must be clear to every cool and re-

From the Liverpool Journal.

We cannot detect the English policy iui this move. These filibustering expeditions have been the talk of the West India. i.-l^Wdf^jur the last four years, and ditT". nothirfg nhd even when the Cubai \pcdition did sail, and did land, we did nothing. We apprehend that the ships that have gone off to the West Indies have been fanned by a breeze from Paris. The Louis Napoleon policy is—absolute respect for existingtreaties, West and East, and Lord Palmcrston is apparently induced to say drtto to^ Louis Napoleon undertaking in consequence,^ we suppose, to declare to the people of the: United States, that their territorial history isx finished that they shall neither spread south-,^ ward to Mexico, nor northward to Canada,v nor to Cuba, nor to Japan. Consistent in an English Minister, who was alive when •the!, last French war began, and who knows that within the half century we British have just* doubled our possessions! We doubt Louis1 Napoleon's power to distribute mankind^ geographically and, at any rate, it seems to us that Lord Palmerston is somewhat too' obsequious iu undertaking to carry out tho^. Napoleon policy with British ships. For, in a war with America, France risks noth-' ing. England everything.

We are not supposing that war impends—_ we are but condemning the provocation to* war. We consider that these proceedings amount to a provocation, becausc Ameri-" can public opinion is in a critical condition^ of confusion—because the South will feel' insulted by the display of suspicion—be-'

is with Russia regard to the European' war, and because Lord Palmerston indicates, in what he is doing, a want of considera-' tion for the peculiar difliculties of the federal government. We are quite sure that'* lie would act differently, anil after a much wiser fashion, if he were not influenced by the French alliance and wc hope that Pnr-^ Hamentwill soon bo reassembled, to prevent* the blundering going any farther. An I Anglo-French alliance is a splendid fact,_ when formed for the purpose of checkings tlie growth of Russia. But if these terrible alternatives must be put, rather Russia in (he Mediterranean, and 7to French alliancec than a war between England and America.— The independence of Turkey is scarcely worth th-it. Lei us be aware of secret diplo- Kmacy, lest ice should drift into this American" war. KOSSCTH O.V LOU I I'AL« l/ltSTQtf.'S

Sin: It was on Saturday last I first got' notice that the English Government has ac-^ tualiy dispatched a very respectable flotilla across the Atlantic. The idea of bullying the pocple of the United States appearod to me so improbable that, notwithstanding my having got the news from a creditable ble source, 1 could not bring my mind to believe the fact. However, vou will know by this time that it is really fact. No plan, but actual execution already.

You will by this mail receive likewise the Times of yesterday, aud see from it the excuse, or rather the pretext for the daring demonstration of Lord Palmerston. Tho idea of a meditated filibustering expedition on Ireland, is such nonsense, (unless the world is in ubsolute ignorance of what is passing in America,) that the public here absolutely laughed at the bare folly of the plea,— and having a higher opinion of the abilities of their Ministers than to admit that they could act on such hallucinations, the affair really means. Some talk of Cuba—the better informed shake their head, on the plea that nothing is stirring for the momentin the West to justify this supposition, and public speculation rather turns about Greytown, Nicaragua, and so on.

At all events, men almost universally admil that unless Lord Palmerston has very stringent and veiy positive facts to bear out his measure, it was an unjustifiable temerity on his part to challenge the American people under existing circumstances. And of two things you can rest assured. The first is, that the commercial classes of Great Britain are extremely alarmed at the bare idea of the possibility of a conflict with the United Stutes the second is, that nobody here believes that Brother Jonathan will prove a coward, and will condescend to excuses. That rests with the people of the United States to decide. At all events, I would think that, as it is his Cabinet upon which the fault is laid by the organs of the English Government, it would be but proper in your Government to take some inspiration from the peoples dignity. Wo look with great interest for the news from America.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Commodore Paulding has been selected, being regarded by the Secretary of the Navy as a prudent officer, to visit San Juan, Nicaragua, with the flag ship Potomac.— He was closeted with the Secretary this P. M., relative to the course to be pursued by him in that quarter. Notwithstanding tho avowed innocent objects of the British fleet just dispatched to the West Indies, tho movement is regarded with indignation, if not as an incipient step towards a hoatile action, and hence additional orders haro been sent to the Navy stations by the Naral Department in reference to preparations.:'.
