SPECIAL

All persons who know themselves indebt-

o,l to (ho "REVIEW OFFICE" for jobwork, advertising nnd subscription, will

make payment between this and the first

day of January, 105G. We have made lartro additions to our office and intend lo

enlarge (he paper, and must have the money. LET NO MAN FAIL TO PAY UP

WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED.

TO OUR PATRONS.

We have a note to pay on the 15th of

next month, and unless our subscribers arc prompt in paying up their subscription wc shall be placed in a rather unenviable po

sition. We have now upon our books over a thousand dollars owing us for work.—

The individual amount of each is small, nnd

and no one who is not absolutely nnd independently poor can find an excuse for not

paying. Wc hope our patrons will remember the time-honored maxim, that "A friend in need is a friend indeed."

NEW DAGUKRREAN GALLERY.—Mr. A. S.

Ilughcs has fitted up an elegant dagucr-

renn room in Empire Block, over Sloan &

Morgan's Drug Store. Mr. H. is said to bo a superior artist, and from an examina

tion of his pictures, we unhesitatingly pronounce them the finest ever taken in Craw-

fordsville. We recommend the public to

visit his establishment.

WM. R. ELLIS.

We understand that this gentleman is

favorably spoken of by members of the Fusion party as a candidate for Congress.—

As much as we should deplore the success

of the Black Republican party in the eighth Congressional District, we know of no one

who has stronger claims than Mr. Ellis.— Ilis treachery to the Democracy in 1854,

crowned the efforts of the fusion party with

success, and if there is any gratitude in

their black hearts they will pay a reward commensurate with the treason that unbar

red the gates of the citadel and struck down the flag of the only national parly in the

district. Mr. E., aside from his politics and treacherous proclivities, is a gentleman, one

that we should prefer to see in Congress above all others connected with his party.

In case he should receivc the nomination, we shall take pleasure in doing all that we

can to beat him, and if by any accidental

or miraculous circumstances he should be

elected, congratulate ourselves that he is the most clever rogue among his whole

party.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. On the 29th inst. the Democratic Con

vention for Montgomery county, called to appoint Delegates for the State Convention

on the Oth of January, duly assembled,

Hon. Swr.n Brookshirc acting as President. Mr. McDonald moved the appointment

of a committee to report Delegates: Messrs. Bvers, Blankenship, Mason, Misner, Man-

son and McMaken were accordingly appointed.

Mr. Ilanna moved the appointment of-a committee to report resolutions:- Messrs.

Armstrong, Fitzgerald, Hanna, W. K. WalO O lace and Thomas Wilson were appointed for this purpose.

The committee on Delegates reported the following gentlemen, who were accordingly

selected by the convention to represent the

county in the State Convention of the 8th January: Hon. Swan Brookshire, Joseph

Allen, James Herrin, T. W. Florer, Sam'l. R. Smith, Geo. W. Wilson, E. A. Davis,

James Brooks, John W. Blankenship, Alex.

Harper and Jesse McAllister. Accompanying the report was a recom

mendation that every Old Liner in the

county be appointed a delegate, which was

passed. The committee-on resolutions made the

following report, which was passed with enthusiasm:

WHEREAS, We the Democracy of Montgomery county have assembled here to-day in Convention, to take steps preparatory to the great political contest fast coming on, and to appoint delegates to the State Convention, to be convened at Indianapolis on the 8th of January, we deem it proper to lay down some general principles as expressive of the sense of this meeting.

Resolved, That we claim with pride the appellation of National Democrats— that we are willing to adhere to the Constitution as we have received it at the hands of the fathers of the Republic—that wc pledge ourselves to stand by all its provisions, to maintain all its guarantees, and to resist any and all attempts of pot house politicians and latter day Levites to construe it with false and selfish interpretations.

Resolved, That we insist as an article of our creed, upon the well established doctrine of State rights—upon a strict construction of the Constitution, and the principles of non-intervention upon all domestic State questions and that the peace and quiet of the country demand that it should be left to the people of the Territories as it pertains to the people of the States, to determine all local questions, including the subject of slavery, to the end that a subject so distracting in its nature and influence, may be wholly excluded from the action of the government of the Union and iat in furtherance of these principles, we give our unualificd adherence to the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and oppose any effort to re-establish the Missouri Compromise.

Resolved, That we view with disgust and disapprobation, the conduct of non-resident Know Nothing bullies from Missouri, or hired Abolition fanatics from Massachusetts and elsewhere, in their interference with the legal rights of the actual settlers of Kansas to vote as they please, or to deprive them of the sacred and inestimable privilege of deciding the laws which are to gova ern them as citizens of the Territories.

Resolved, That wc still believe intemperance to be a great moral and social evil, and that we are in favor of wholesome and efficient laws for its restraint and correction, but which shall not interfere with any of the constitutional rights of the private citizen.

Resolved, That lo the last wc will oppose all secret political organizations—that we are in favor of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion—that we will always adhere to a sacred preservation of the Federal Constitution, and oppose all religious tests for office.

Resolved, That we recommend to the favorable consideration of the State Convention the Hon. Jesse D. Bright as the first choice of Indiana for the Presidency of the United States.

Resolved, That we also recommend the Hon. J. E. McDonald for the office of Attorney General, subject to the decision of the convention.

Mr. Wallace offered a resolution:--

Resolved, That the Old Liners of Montgomery county, far from exerting themselves to expel Mr. C. II. Bowen from the editorship of the Review, as charged by Dr. Fry, are perfectly satisfied with Mr. Bowen's management, and that we hereby pledge ourselves to do all in our power to sustain him and the Review. We only enjoin him to pitch into the Black Republican editor of the Journal.

After speeches by Messrs. McDonAld, Wilson, "Wallace and Hanna, the conven

tion adjourned. SWAN BROOKSHIRE, Pres't. LEW WALLACE, Secretary.

The weather is decidedly cool and

bracing. Many of our oldest citizens pronounce it the coldest they have experienced for twenty years.

jtST" The Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery county commenccs on next

Monday. We understand that there is a large amount of business on the docket.

/ST New counterfeit fives on the State

Bank of Indiana, new plate, have made their appearance. They are represented

to be exceedingly well execufed.

Message in our nxt isnie.

IIOW GREAT MEX WILI.JJIFFJER. The Ohio State Journal, the State Organ

of the Black Republican party of Ohio, and

one of "the roost bitter and unscrupulous op

ponents of the National Democracy, talks thus in regard to the delay of the fusion

members of Congress to organize the House.

'•We chejerfully agree tliat the administration members are not in any respect responsible for this delay." The majority of the House is largely against them. They have selected their man, and, on every ballot, they give him their entire strength— seventy-five votes. It belongs to the opposition to organize that body. The country expects and has a right to expect it from them. They will be held to a strict accountability for the delay." /.

Now read the following article from the Montgomery Journal and mark the differ

ence between the opinions of these two fusion editors NO SPEAKER. "One month has now elapsed since Congress met, and a Speaker not elected. The Anti-Nebraska party have 105 members at the lowest figures, and the Nebraska Administration but 74, while other parties have but a small number, From these facts it is evident that the Anti-Nebraska party is by far the strongest in Congress, and represent by far the largest number of voters throughout the country. Who then should yield and upon whom rest the responsibility of this waste of time and money? If it is a doctrine of our Government that the greater number should rule, it is clear as sun-light that old liners and others should at once yield and elect the Anti-Nebraska candidate. Old Liners nnd Southern Know-Nothings are now clogging the wheels of Government, and wasting the time of Gongress and squandering the National Treasury."

Our old line readers will now see the dis

honesty of Dr. Fry. He would fain con

vince the honest voters of Montgomery County tTiat the Democracy is responsible for the unnecessary delay in organizing the

House. The strength of the fusion party

is one hundred and forty, while that of the National Democracy numbers only seven

ty-five. It requires only a hundred and twelve votes to elect. We hardly know

whether to attribute the Dr.'s statement of this matter to gross ignorance founded up

on heresay remarks dropped on the street

corners, or willful preverication of what he

knew to be the ttue facts of the case.

Kir A fellow who rejoices in the sobriquet of D. Chipman, and who pretends to be a preacher somewhere in the southern part of this state, says of the Democratic party: "Thev have'departed from the faith, and have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, and their conscience is seared.' 'They would deceive if possible the very elect.'— The party is debilitated—it is laboring under consumption I see its hectic fever, it has the night sweat. And so insidious is the disease that they flatter themselves they will recover, but recovery is impossible unless the treatment is changed." v-

Thus is the Democratic party assailed.— And if a paper of our faith dares to reply to the low Billingsgate of these preachers, it is forthwith set down asopposed to the Christian religion. If such emanations as the iibove are sent as orthodox, and containing the essence of the Christian faith, and such men as D. Chipman are its expounders, wc want nothing to do with it or them.—Xctc Albany Ledger.

WITCHCRAFT REVIVED. We copy from the New Haven Register of yesterday, full particulars of one of the most singular murders that lias occurred for many years. It is a curious and revolting story of ignorance, superstition and fanaticism, worthy of the darkest period of Salem witchcraft. The substance of the story is this A certain widow Wakcman, a woman of 70 years, pretends to be a prophetess, possessed of miraculous powers, capable of raising the dead, and as having been sent from Heaven a "Messenger" to the wicked in this world. At her house in New Haven has been living a somewhat notorious, fanatical old man named Elder Sly and the house has been the place of meeting of a company of persons—male and female, husbands and wives—who had come to believe the old woman as all that she professed lo be and that at her nod the world would be destroyed. This pretense had been strengthened by the fact that not long since one of her followers, it is said, gave her a dose of arsenic in a cake, believing it would have no effect, except to illustrate her Divine mission: and nothing but the fact that it was an over-dose, and soon ejected from her stomach, saved her life. From that time all caval among her followerers respecting her power has been hushed, and her presence has been considered by them as that of a messenger sent from Heaven. Among these devotees was Justus Mathews, a small farmer living in the western part of Hamden, and who has latterly been accused by the old woman of possessing a devil—and the incantations of the whole party had been applied for its removal at various times and in various ways. Of late, it had been the burden of the old woman's murmuries, that he was her evil genius—that he was bewitching her—that she should die if he was not removed and that, in such an event, the world would be destroyed. On Sunday night last these spasms were repeated, and so worked upon the fears of the p.irty assembled, that during the night he was by some one or more of tbem murdered, in the belief that, by so doing the life of the old woman would be saved, and the destruction of the world prevented! Sly has since confessed the murder, and thus the bloody work of superstition ends.—Nexo York Tribune, 21th.

PRESIDENT PIERCE vs. THE NICAR AUGUA FILLIBUSTERSn A FiROCLAMATIOX.

Whereas, information has been received by me that sundry persons, citizens of the United States and others, residents therein, are preparing within the jurisdiction of the same to enlist, or enter themselves, or to hire or retain others to participate, in military operations within the State of Nicar augua:

Now, therefore, I, Franklin Pierce, President of the United States, do warn all persons against connecting themselves with any such enterprise or undertaking, as being contrary to their duly as good citizens and the laws of their country, and threat ening to the peace of the United States.

I do further admonish all persons who may. depart from the United States, either singly or in numbers, organized or unorganized, for any such purpose, that they will thereby cease to be entitled to the protection of this government, 't ^*1

I exhort all good citizcns to discountenance and prevent any such disreputable and criminal undertaking as aforesaid, charging all officers, civil and military, having lawful power in the premises, to exercise the same for the purpose of maintain ing the authority and enforcing the laws of the United States.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents.

,:I

have positive

information that Louis Napoleon Bonaparte had determined imperatively to insist on the expulsion of political refugees from England. He is perfectly conscious of the advantages of his position, nnd knows that the British Government is so much in fear of him, that they could not dare to refuse him anything."

JIM. STRANGE THE MORMON KING.— Strange the chief of the Mormons on Beaver

Island, is the editor of a paper, and in a late

number he fills fourteen columns with a defence of his people*from charges brought

against them by Michigan papers. We quote a specimen paragraph

"Yet we walk in conscious security. We laugh in bitter scorn at these threats. And wc tell these editors, marshal your myrmidons and send them along to make a spoil of beauty and booty, as soon as you please. We bid them a bloody welcome to hospitable graves over which, each year we will pile stones, with a muttered curse, against the day of resurrection of damnation."

COURSE OF LECTURES. The minister nnd members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of this place are now making vigorous exertions to build a new and handsome church on the lot where the old one now stands. For the purpose of raising funds to aid in this laudable and praiseworthy effort, they have secured the services of the President and Faculty of Asbuiy University, in delivering a course of lectures at the Methodist church during the present winter. The name and reputation of the lecturers will be a sufficient guarantee for the rich entertainment which may be expected.

The subjects selected and treated of, as they doubtless will be, cannot fail to afford pure, intellectual and elevated pleasure to all who may attend.

The object is a noble one. and should secure a large nnd liberal patronage. Let every citizen, by a full attendance give once more an additional evidence of their claims to liberality, their high appreciation of intellectual pursuits and their still higher appreciation of the infinite blessings conferred upon us by the gospel ministration.

The first lecture will be delivered by Prof Nadal, on Tuesdav night the 15th of January. Subject—Webster and his Eloquence.

The second lecture by Prof. II. B. Ilibben, Wednesday, lutn. Subject—Plurality of Words.

The third lecture by President Curry, Thursday, 17th. Subject—Oliver Goldsmith.

DISCOVERY OF THE BRITISH ARCTIC Snir RESOLUTE.—The British ship Resolute, abandoned in the Arctic ice, was brought by Capt. Buddington into the portof NewLonbon, on Saturday last, with all her armaments, stores and equipments on board.— She is a new and handsome vessel, and worth 8100,000. When found she had drifted over 1,000 miles from the place where she was abandoned. An effort will be made to take her to New Haven.

IRELAND.—A correspondent of the London Times, in commenting upon the progress of Irish agriculture, states that during the last fonrteen years the value of farm stock in Ireland has increased from £22,000 000 to £35,000 000 sterling, and that the number of horned cattle has arisen from 2,000,000 to 3,250,000, while the quality has correspondingly improved. Still, however, of the 20 000 000 of acres which Ireland comprises, only about one fourth is under direct tillage, and full one third is in pasture.

GENERAL CASS:

T|his distinguishe^JSenator'has written a lettet to a coinmittee of gentlemeii in Philadelphia who lad requested permission lo use his name in connection with a nomination to the Presidency, that he is not a candidate for that position, and desires that no further use be made of his name with that view. It is.not likely that Gen. Cass will ever-reach the. Presidency. His age and the necessity for that release from aetive exertion, mental and physical, which age requires, and which is imposed upon the Executive, render the position an undesirable one for the great Michigan statesman. But though Gen. Cass may never reach the Presidency, his name will be embalmed in the hearts of his countrymen for generations after he shall have passed from among them. His great services jn the many responsible positions he has occupied, will endear him to all who can appreciate devotion 10 country and to principle. In calming the angry waters of agitation, his name will be handed down to posterity in connection with those of Clay and Webster, and be forever revered. Long may he live to occupy a seat in the Senate, and to give to his country the advantage of his great talents and long experience.—State Sentinel.

This decree is of great importance lo American commerce, as heretofore all duties had to be paid in Spanish (usually denominated Ca-

THE RECIPROCITY TRKITV AND NEW FOOCDLAXD.—The President has issued a

SAD DISAPPOINTMENT.—We hear that a young lady in this city was engaged to be married to a gentleman, a resident of Long Island, some time since, but the ceremony was postponed on account of the death of a brother of the intended bride. Again the day was appointed for the matrimonial ceremony to take place, when, lo the sudden decease of a sister of the bride occasioned another postponement. Again was the day fixed upon, and as the time drew nigh when she was to be called a "wife," the mails brought tidings of another interruption of the ceremony by death—her intended had gone the way of her sister and brother to "that bourne whence no traveller returns:" —Troy Budget.

TlfE NEXT PRESIDENCY. We observe that mo^t of the County Contention which have already been ,held, for the purpose^ of appointing Delegates to tire Democratic State Convention to be held at Indianapolis on the eighth of January next, have passed resolutions decidedly in favor of Hon. JESSE D. BniGfiT for next President. The Democratic papers too, in many counties, have chimed in with the popular sentiment, as exrpessed in the primary assemblies of the People, and added their testimonials in behalf of tho eminent- abilities and sterling worth of "Indiana's favorite son." Tiio following extracts from the Frankfort Cresent and Jeffersonville Democrat are fair specimens of the encomiums given by the Press generally, and we endorse them most cordially. The demociacy of the North-west, though always adhering to the Constitution and to the Union—though always amongst the foremost in giving their support to everv democratic candidate heretofore presented for President, have never yet had the honor of seeing one of theirc distinguished mcn in that high station, Whilst they will continue to support any regularly nominated candidate who may hereafter be bro't forward for their suffrages, without regard to the section of the country from which he may hail, and without any other enquiry than the old Jeffersonian one, ("is ho honest—is he capablc—is he faithful to the

Constitution?") still it is not to ho disguised

that a recognition of their cluims at the next National Democratic Convention, ini the nomination of such a man as JESSE D. BRIFIIT—a man having more cf the elements of Old Hickory in him than any: olher individual now spoken of for the Presidency—would fill their hearts with gladness, if not enthusiasm.—Martinsville Monitor.

THE FKJESIDENCY IN 135G.—Already in reference to the great political contest of 1G56, for the Presidency, many papers in different sections of the Union are nailing to the mast head the names of distinguished men as candidates.

The next Democratic National Convcntion meets at Cincinnati, and will be, no doubt, a full anil fair representation of tlu

HORRID CRIMES.—A J'oston paper before us contains the particulars of three horrid crimes. The fir.lis the death of Mrs. Richer, wife of Jeremiah Kicker, of Farmington, New ITampsirc, by poison, administered to her in proserves by a widow woman named Johnson, at the procurement of Ricker.

The second is the death of a young woman twenty years of age, from brutal treatment by her own father—treatment intended to coerce her to incest.

The third is the death of a young married woman by poison. Her husband, named Peterson, a sailor, had returned from his voyage, and remained home three weeks. The day after his departure, she was found dead in bed and the room door locked.

Sibil Cory and Shubael Baker have been arrested for the murder of Arnold J. Lewis, an old man whose corpse was found in a swamp, in West Greenwich, R. I.

William Day and Orange D. Day, father and son, are holden for killing young Wheaton in their oyster shop, in Providence.

Alexander Milligan has been arrested near \V est Union, New York, for murdering an old cripple named Senter, and ife, with whom he lived, and forging a deed giving their farm to him. He is supposed to have killed them in bed with an axe.— The murdered bodies were found about one hundred yards from the house, hurried together two feet under ground, with a large log over them, they having only their night clothes on, and horribly mangled.
