COMPLETION OF THE EIGHTH VOLUME.

This number completes the eighth volume of the Crawfordsvillc lieview. It is now over three years since we assumed the management of this organ of the Democracy of Montgomery county, and during that period we have had the satisfaction of witnossing many a glorious victory achieved l)y that indomitable old party. Our efforts to serve and faithfully execute the duties of our position as editor of a partizan paper, have, we arc inclined to believe, been eminently successful, and it gives us infinitc pleasure to record the fact that every county office, with the exception of the Sheriff, is in the hands of the Democracy, and that the organ of their principles now. stands upou a firm foundation and has acquired a reputation and standing among the press of our State that has added greatly to its popularity as apolitical journal, eminently conservative in tone and spirit. Our future prospects arc indeed flattering with a large and increasing circulation, an office supplied with the best of material, we are enabled to execulc with promptness and dispatch all orders which we may be favored-with. The rapid progress and

grand improvements which journalism has attained within#the last few years in this countrv, has introduced many new rules -•-•and* customs, a closc observance and enforcement of which is of vital importance ito -tlie publisher who desires to be successful nncV'avcrt the embarrassing and pecu-

WABASH COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. Now-a-days men have a care for the politics of their children. Whether wrong or right, people desire to see the "coming men" of their household rightly educated in their politics and, since the "memorable 3000," by their conduct, -asserted the dogma, that there is no difference between religion and politics, the above has more ^ect

than ever become a rule of conduct. "We stepped into the Presbyterian Church. the other day, while the College exercises of commencement were progressing. We didn't go farther than the first seat, for the reason, that, happening td glance at the platform, and sec th'e personages upon it, we felt that Democrats were neither invited nor expected. Of the crowd of gentlemen of all ages, drawn from home and abroad, we did not sec one whom we knew to be a Democrat although we know there are Democrats in our own city, as much entitled by profession, character,' education, and purity of religious conduct, to be invited there, as many whom we saw.

Why was this? Is it the policy of this institution to draw distinctions based on politics?

President White was delivering his usual lecture to the graduating class at the time we went in. We like this old man, —we like his noble presence, his Christian character,—we like him for his learning and his kindness,—he and Prof. Mills are all the soul the Faculty has. But docs lie not see the effect of such"a policy upon the institution he governs, and which he has with such zeal and for so many years of his holy life, labored to build up?

With no malice or bigotry in our heart, let us make one statement to him, which wc hope he will accept in the spirit it is given, for, as a citizen, wc are interested in the perpetuity, in our town, of a College for the education of youth, provided it is conducted without invidious distinctions of any kind. Democrats throughout the State have already come to understand that the doors of Wabash College arc shut against their children or if, now and then, one docs, by accident, and through the charity of Prof. Ilovcy, gain access, the ingenuity of the Professors, bating only Prof. Mills, is exercised from the boy's first day to his last, to, make of him what of all things a Democrat most abhors, viz: a bigoted, dogmatic, higher-law man.

There are Democrats of prominence and standing residing in our own town, who have occasion through the year to travel into every section of this State, and who frequently visit other States. Does President White know, that wherever these citizens go they are interrogated about Wabash College, by people looking out for an institution to which to send their boys for education? Docs he know, that while givhim the reverence he is entitled to, nothing extenuating as to him personally, tlioy arc compelled by a sense of duty to warn friends against the peculiar political •influences with which students are there

We confess, when we consider the best way to build up this College, wc look at the means in a light blent of tlie spiritual and worldly together, and not merely as a Presbyterian. We think it quite as essential to fill the world with educated good men, as with prosy, sanctimonious, sermonreading preachers. Speaking in this view, we would like to obtrude oursclf upon the Facultv long enough to say the following things:'

1. Your President is an honor to your institution—but you, Professors Campbell, lladley anil Ilovcy, Jr.,—though you are all gentlemen,—you have no business here, —besides having neither ago nor reputation for learning, you know as little of the world outside your brick walls, as if you had never been born into it. Travel a little engage in some business mix with men and study human nature learn the one great lesson, that books, nor pens, nor figures, nor salaries of SC00, per annum, uor all of them together, will make a man. 2. As you love your institution, beware of distinctions. Honor all sects and parties alike. Do pray, now and then, invite somebody else than a preacher .to lecture the Societies,—invite some distinguished Doctors, Fanners, Lawyers and Politicians. Do pray invite a Democrat once in awhile, if only for variety. Do this, that your boys, aud some of yourselves, in fact, may learn, that there are some respectable people in -tho world who are not Presbyterians, some honorable and necessary occupations besides preaching, some patriots, who love their country, and are proud of it because it consists as yet of white citizens.' 3. Above all, gentlemen of the Faculty, beware of keeping up. the impression already abroad in this particular community —that is, (and we desire it to be taken kindly)—that you area caste by yourselves, whose superior position, learning, and virtue make a little mixing with the world spiritual and corporal contamination—let the herd, the lowcr blasses, or, as you prefer to say it, the covunon people, have a little more, of tJjQ„picawre. of JQUT learning ind an'hoqr or go on the- streets yith

evenings—meet

guc

at the Post Office, and chat with us while Mr. Snyder is opening the mail—if yon ore more holy, religious, and learned, convince us of it by deigning to enllgElen our ignorance, &c.—don't play the exclusives any longer-—don't be so Pharas'aical—shut up in your great academical grove, quit playing the Druid or the Brahman. The ef-

course, would be astonish-

ing- .. We are done now, and stop writing, asking that what we have said will be calmly considered, and not set down] as the malicious ebullition of a heathen, an ignoramus, or an "low-flung, worthy-to-be-flouted old Liner. We have spoken plainly,, and the Faculty will profit by it in case they are not too shell-cased in vanity and. bigotry.

JONES' nOTEL LAFAYETTE.

Wc are highly, gratified to learn that our old friend, RESON V., is once more liege lord of his own good property, the Jones' IIoteL There is no better place for the wayfaring person, who may be required to stop at Lafayette to take up his abode, tban with friend RESON. The ones' Hotel, under his immediate supervision, has been lately re-dressed in the latest and neatest style the servants are ever ready and obliging rooms in neatest order bedding better than that to be found in the best first class hotel of any of our largest cities the table always is burthencd with all the variety, novelty and substantial, that the excellent market of that thriving city can produce. The large experience of Mr. Jones, as a caterer to the public, is a suffi cicnt guarantee that his house will be the house of Lafayette. His bills arc always moderate and his servants do not dun you for extras. To our friends, wc say, give the Jones' Hotel your patronage, if only to know how agreeably his smiling clerk attends to you.

FUNERAL OF GOVERNOR MARCY.—The funeral of Ex-Governor Marcy took place at Albany. The proccssion consisting principally of military and civic associations was of a most imposing character. Major Gen. Wool acted as Grand Marshal. There were 29 military companies in the procession and its march was enlivened by the music of 25 bands. It was altogether the finest sight ever seen in Albany. ExPresidents Van Buren and Pierce, Gov. King and Ex-Governors Seward and Hunt rode in carriages.

Laymon's not only warrant them good now, but they warrant them tu hetj) good for lu-o years.

Black Republicanism is decidedly

a queer institution. Its leaders with but few exceptions are composed of sanctimonious political preachers, who, like wolves in sheep's clothing, are daily committing some heinous crime. In this week's paper we publish an account of the amours of the Rev. Mr. Simpson, who not long since delivered himself of a fierce invective.against the Democracy, charging'the in with favor~ ing MorinOn "polygamyI" -This Simpson is a fair specimen of his party.' Like the Pharisees of old, they are continually thanking God that ''they are not.as other men."

The ceremonies-attending Commencement at Wabash College, and, also that of the( Crawfordsville Female Seminary, were held in. this place on the 12th, 13thrl4th, and 15th, inst.

Nature contributed delightful weather, and as the. roads were good, a considerable number of people attended to witness the exercises. These, like Joseph's coat of many colors.^ were of a varied character, ranging from intellectual to terpsichojean and from meritorious tb mediocre efforts by the savaiits and students of the institution.

Amon^ the' visitors who attended this grand exhibiti6n of intellectual goods—tho products mostly of thef factory up yonder •—-we heard "of none ""who"'had come with the intention of testing the colors 'judging thence of the dyers, and 'jjerchance sending their own raw material to be operated upon. And therefore we would state, for the benefit of parents having sons whom they think of sending to the Wabash Dye House, that on entering, they are generally green, soon after become blue, and should they remain long enough, get thoroughly bleached and come out Whitened, In addition to those visitors that failed to arrive, were a few of Wabash's old graduates, who, having friends and relatives residing here came to pay them a visit and take a, side glance at the literary performances. Moreover, some of the friends of the present graduates arrived to rejoice with them on their liberation from "durance vile and also a few countrymen to purchase goods in town, so that in the aggregate, there was a goodly Assemblage.

THE BACCALAUREATE.

On Sunday forenoon, Dr. White, President of the College, delivered customary Baccalaureate Address.

The effort was what might have been called an excellent discourse—one embracing a fine style of composition, extensive research among theological works, and a profundity of thought—had not these merits been obscured somewhat, by such a very extreme position occupied throughout, as to give it the appearance of being ultra and intolerant. The proposition was, that religion is necessary to good scholarship— nay, so zealously did the Doctor labor to establish this, that he overdid himself, and intimated time and again that it is an absolutely essential element. Unfortunately however, for Christianity and the Doctor, hundreds of instances are on record, of godless men becoming the greatest scholars the world ever saw. But not a hint to this effect was dropped by the Doctor throughout his entire sermon. Doubtless he was" exerting himself for the temporal and

eternal

.welfare of his.young disciplcs:

but that he widely missed his mark is not altogether improbable: THE ORDINATION

Of an old graduate of the institution, Mr. Andrew D. Jack, as a Minister to foreign lands, was performed in the afternoon. The pulpit was occupied by Dr. Allen, of "Lane Seminary, after whose highly interesting sermon, was witnessed the solemn ceremony1 of the imposition of Viands.— We can not refrain from noticing, with

admiration, the music 'furnished on both occasions, by the Centre Church Choir.

A BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE Was presented in Centre Church on

Monday afternoon. .: This was the graduating exercises of. the Female Seminary. The class numbered eight young ladies, who read compositions previous to receiving their diplomas. The candidates, according to the literal meaning of the word, were arrayed in spotless white. A charming bloom tinted their happy faces, so that when they read their essays, with gracefulness and self possession, and in an audible and distinct manner, the words seemed to issue from their lips like honey from the-roses.

Diplomas were then handed to Misses Earl, Edwards, Groendyke, Johnson, Laymon, McKinstry, Taylor, and Winn, after which Mr. Butler, Principal of the school, delivered an entertaining lecture on Woman's Mission.

PRIZE DECLAMATIONS. It is the custom of the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Classes of Wabash College, respectively, to elect two of their own members to contend for prizes in declama

tion. This contest came off on Monday evening. It was marked by considerable animation in speaking, on the part of the disputants but we were disappointed with most of them, as regards distinctness of utterance, naturalness of expression, and gracefulness in gesticulation. However, the three who succeeded best in these several requisites of good elocution, and who gained the "victory, were Messrs. Sam. C. Vance, of Indianapolis, 1st prize Ed. R. Lewis, of Madison, 2nd prize and Wm. M. McKinny,'of Newtown, 3d prize. The successful candidates'for prizes, in essay writing, as we learned privately, for it was not made a public matter, wer.e Messrs. Post, of Logansport Woods, of Iowa and French, of Jacksonville.'

Illinois. Probably our readers would not be much entertained with the metaphysical terms and hints we should have to employ to make them fully aware of the character of this production. We therefore forbear.— But to Mr. P., we think, should be awarded the palm though, like Addison, the poor delivery of the speaker obscured in a great measure the cogency and beauty of his composition.

Mr. W. E. Spilman, of this place, brought up the rear of the orators with a fine and well spoken parallel between Burr and Hamilton. Mr. S's, effort we thought imparted more pleasure to his audicnce than

any of the rest. After the regular graduates, a Master's Oration was recited by Rev. A. D. Jack. Then came the conferring degrees. The remarks of President White to the class were remarkably like-a.4th of July speech and contained advice well calculated to make them good and patriotic American citizens.

Peanuts and jokes were cracked by scores and cold water copiously used. Thus ended the collegiate exercises but

THE BALL AT BRAYDEN'S, Tho' supervised by Faculty nor students, was the most brilliant event of the week. Too much praise will hardly. be bestowed on its urbane and skillful-managers for the satisfactory mariner in which they acquitted themselves nor too much admiration expressed for the beauty and gallantry there' assembled.' .We never, witnessed a finer spectacle than that presented on this occasion, as, from a commanding position in the spacious room, on whose floor twclvc sets might dance at,pnee, besides there being promenade and sitting accommodations, we were dazzled now by the twinkle of countless feet, and now the flashing of as many orbs. The music was furnished by Langguths' and McLarens' bands and was of a superior kind.

day before his death, when apparently enjoying perfect health, and indulging in pleasant anticipations of his European tour, he observed to a friend who spoke to him of his Presidential prospects in 1860, "Do not speak of that subject I shall not live to sec the election of another President." These forebodings he'is remembered to have uttered once before jluring the last few months of his Secretaryship, but the gentleman who heard them, not knowing the grounds of Mr. Marcy's impression, still augured a pleasant continuance of his days.'

FOISOIV-TEA-THE cHimarc.

Mnch apprehension is felt ftmong die tea drinkers, lest the Chinese, who hate all foreigners/and whfit present have especial cause to" hate the English* for their unjust aggressions, should poison all the tea and other articles of luxury, for which the world is dependent on them. It is known that the administration of poison is their favorite mode of{e|eeting their reyenge.— It is also known that they haye already tried in that manner to wreak their revenge on the English (including all foreigners) since the breaking, out of hostilities between them and the English. While it is almost irrational to suppose lhat any nation —the Chinese even—however insulted, injured, oppressed,,by another nation, would jun the risk' of, ruining its foreign commerce foreyer, by poisoning all its exports,

ANOTHER BLACK KEI'UIIMCAN I'ASTOIt ARRAIGNED FOR SEDUCTION.

Iu the early pare of the month of June, facts were put in our possession tending to prove almost beyond a doubt, that a minister of a Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Allegheny city, opposite Pittsburg, was guilty of having seduced a young girl from Missouri, who had been placed under his care by her parents to educate.

Since that time, corroborative testimony of guilt has almost daily been pouring in, but we have refrained from making an expose, or even further mention of the matter, both for the sake of the girl and her relations, and also the pastor and his congregation, hoping that it would be arranged and justice done without the necessity for such a proceeding. But as the case will undergo investigation by the Presbytery of Allegheny ot the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, which meets to-day, July 8th, at or near Freeport, Armstrong county, for the purpose of trying their suspected brother, and deciding upon his guilt or innocencc, and as affidavits were yesterday made before Alderman Steel, of this city, by the persons who aw the two in the same bed together,, on board the steamboat Iowa upon no longer to

Henderson. Of course nothing wrong was suspected, as it was believed they were lawful man and wife. At Cincinnati, they shipped on another boat for St. Louis, and we heard nothing more of them until the Rev. Simpson applies at the St. Louis wharf, to Mr. Daniel Moore, clerk of the steamer, Iowa, and engages passage for himself, Miss Henderson, and Revs. Hudson and Miller, of Waynesburgh, to come to this place. jy

The supicions of Capt. Moore and his brother, the first Clerk, became aroused by several actions on the part of Mr. Simpson and the young lady. For instance, they would be nearly always out of sight, he in her state room or she in his, except at meal-times, suid when in the cabin would carry on very foolishly and indiscreet.— Having been told by the chambermaid that Mr- Simpson had been alone in Miss Henderson's state room several, tunes, the Captain and: Clerk determined to satisfy themselves if any improper connection really existed between them. Acq

steward ordsnd thst tffojjfela, oe-

cupting the next state rnn to Miss Ho* derson^ should be rtnoVed. He then had a gimlet hole bored into ihe Bnlk-liSSd, by which, a view poultf be_ 6btained of everything in the lady's apartment. That night, about ten or eleven o'clock, he went istp the adjoining room and oo looking through the hole Bome' thi'ed OT feAr annate* was enabled to distinguish, by the light shed from a lamp burping in the cabin, that two persons were' occupying the loirtor berth, as three feet were distinctly visible, and also an arm thrown from the far side over the top of the covering, with a goid chain button clasping the wrist,

The steward then went and informed tbe captain and clerks, and Rev. Hudson, of what he had seen, and all very soon became convinced of the truth of tbe statement by oeular demonstration. Captainr Moore then knocked at the state room door and demanded admittances There was no' answer for a few mom'eAfs, when Miss Henderson cried.out, "Ye3, captain, I will open tho door, if yon will wait a momMt" Mr. Simpson was found lying onrifte hedf with his pantaloons on, and eudeavo^ed to* make a transparent defence by pleading that the lady would cot allow him to leave her, as she was afraid to stay by herself.—' The captain was indignant, and ordered the two to get ready to be put on shore immediately. However, Rev. Hudson had a conversation with Mr. Simpson, and afterwards prevailed upon the Captain totake them to Wheeling, where all four fBer.Simpson, Miss Henderson, and Revs. Hud--son and Miller) left the boat and pursued their way to Waynesburgli Female College, where the girl was left, but from which, we believe, she has been since expelled.

To the above statement of things which occurred on the Iowa, Captain Moore, and his brother, the first clerk, Daniel Moore, together with O. C. Bunting, the second clerk, and L. F. Obcrlin, the Btcwart, have qualified themselves before Alderman Steel, which affidavits will be offered as evidence against Mr. Simpson in the Presbytery. He was notified to attend at the 'Squire's office, but did not go. It is said that to shield himself somewhat, the Rev. seducer has circulated the report that the clerks on the Iowa threatened to forcc an entrance into Miss Henderson's state room, and that he was there to defend her. But this lie pronounced false himself, when accused of having done so by Mr. Moore, last Thursday.

The issue of the trial of Mr. Simpson, by the Presbytery of Allegheny, will be looked for with painful interest. It is most probable that lie will be expelled from the church.

THE 'CRANE HOUSE,' CRAWFORDSVILLE. —In our limited experiences away from home we have never met with more acceptable appointments for repose after the jadings of travel, than we chanced to enjoy at the 'Crane House' last Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. REUBEN TAYLOR,the present proprietor of this House, has newly invested it in every department with ample furnishments of everything a man can recommend to his weary travelling friends. But the landlord himself is better than his appointments. Like other men, he is only represented in his works and we, having seen them, and proved them, feel now, that we are but discharging a public duty by thus referring to him as one of the most accomplished and thoroughly prepared public housekeepers in the State of Indiana.— St. Joseph County Forum.

A MILITARY SUGGESTION.—Wc undcr-

A CHANCE FOR THE SPIRITUALISTS.—The Boston Post gives the following prrctical turn to spiritual contrvocrsy: "We offer a reward of five dollars a day to any rappers who will not move the table in our dining room, but cover it with a dinner for five persons at 3 o'clock, p. m., each day in the week, and then quietly withdraw while we and our interesting family devour it. This shoving round empty tables docs no good. Meat meat is the thing!"
