4 BLACK REPUBLICANISM.

If there bo any one distinctive feature *iri the political organization of the Black "Republican party, that looms up so distinctively as to be seen by all men, it i.s the principle of "rule or ruin." Their every overt act demonstrates it. The object in view, is so vast, that they are perfectly reckless as to the means employed, by which it is to bo attained. The most casual "iookcr on in Venice,'' cannot fail to observe the nefarious schemes to which they resort, and the condemnatory means the}' employ, in order to get control of the reins of our government. The finer sensibilities of every true patriot have been shocked by their deep, dark, and damning resorts, under the vain hope of swindling the American people out of their fond attachment to our glorious Union, and lead them astray after the delusive doctrines o:f a fanatical organiza'tiou.

Knowing that freedom is the natural condition of man, and that all praises uttered about the "inalienable rights of man," the songs sung of liberty, ever fall serenely upon the cars of an enlightened people, and that in no country arc the principles of a free government dearer to any people than to the great majority of our citizens. They enlarge immensely upon these generalities, until their auditory is aroused, and then, by an ingenious mode of sophistical logic, undertake to prove, that altho' nature has, through its unbounded wisdom, created distinct, races, differing in taste, colors, wants, habits, characteristics and intellect different in physical and moral organization in every attribute of the true man still, as al^pnen were created equal in their own sphere, in that portion of the globe whore God gave to each color a distinct habitation still 110 distinction in races should be made there is no difference in color, and that the government of the celtie race, designed alone for the white man, as Providence designed, .should be perverted from every original intention and cause in our own happy hind, the pun: Circassian blood to intermingle with the sable race from the dark lands from which tihey never should have been transported. The Republican party has but one distinctive idea, and that is negro equality—socially and politically—or a dissolution of tho American Union. In hopes of accom­

The press—that great engine by which the world is moved whose influence is felt in the remotest corners of the inhabitable globe, that speaks nations into existence, and whose thunder tones, when free and untrammeled, are more terrible to tyrants than those that leap from "highth to highth," on "Jura's mount," is stealthly approached, and wherever it is under the control of men who can be seduced from the path of duty by the means that Christ was betrayed, or the promise of patronage, emoluments, popular favor, or earthly honor, that press is at once eubsadized, and instead of being the most potent engine for good, its venal invectives against our institutions, and our most self-sacrificing patri-

ning plots against every thing that is vainable to us as a people. Not content with all their special pleadings with the people, the snares Bet to cngulph them in their midnight rendezvous, and subsidizing the public press still actuated by their unhallowed determination to obtain their ends or destroy our government, they approach the sacred desk and stain the clerical robes with their incendiary doctrine. Scarcely is there a prayer, a sermon, or a benediction offered to the throne of God, without being hugely interspersed with the traitors doctrines of that party that in its unhallowed purposes would kindle the fires of internal strife, bring on civil war, and dissever our great and glorious Union in order that they may force the negro to be what deity never designed. and what he never can be—socially and politically equal with the white man. Mere nefarious still than their policy of enlisting the ministry in their cause, is the scheme of conveying their principles and tenants to the minds of the youth, through their school books, their teachers, and their professors. Wherever these men have ascendency, teachers arc selected with a view to their political proclivities, and their willingness to subserve the ends of abolitionism. The common school, the seminary, the academy, the university, arc all prolific sources for the dissemination of treasonable doctrines. The student's ear is familiarized with it in the chapel every morning, it is the burthen of a Sabbath lecture, attends him in his every step through the lore of science, and when lie has closed with, honor, his collegiate course, the last benediction pronounced upon him, and every hope expressed for his promise of a brilliant career through the future, resounds in almost every sentence, in anathemas against the American Union.

These puritanical pretenders of philanthropy, and bigoted disseminators of treasonable doctrines, claim for themselves everything that is due to sobriety, morality and decency and yet, whilst they hurl their hot invectives against all vrho dare dispute their pretentions, although one great forte with them is to preach temperance and total abstinence, yet they are not too conscientious to subsadize the sinks where "deadly poison is daily dealt out," raise a pony purse for tho free dissemination of ardent spirits and seek by that means to induce the men of unfortunate ways, to enlist under their banner, and east their suffrages for the startling but absurd doetrine of negro equality. The pretended holy minister, who, trie to his calling, would be found exemplifying the everlasting truths of his Divine master in his every ac-i, not for.t: n1 with descending so far from his high and noble calling as to desecrate the sacred desk with things altogether gcrmaiue to his subject, but with brazen afi'rcutcry, deposits his ballot for confirmed drunkard for Congress, or any other official position, and walks away highly gratified that he has done all that he could do to embarrass the machinery of a free country, and after that, he smiles pleasantly to the whiskyseller, feeling a happy consolation that each have united their employments for an attack upon the institutions, which extend to them unlimited privileges.

Aside from all these means, the Black Republicans seek to have exclusive charge of the ballot-box. and every fraud is by them perpetrated that the ingenuity of scoundrelism can invent, and what cannot be accomplished by stuffing bailot-boxcs .aid changing ballots, is done by hired bands of worthless devils in the shape of bullies, and wo be to the unbefriended man who seeks to vote Contrary to their sentiments in a precinct where they have complete sway.

Defamation is their greatest argument, and knowing that the folly of their reasoning is but too easily discerned, they hope to detract from and destroy every manly opponent by abuse, calumny, vituperation, and personal slander. They assail him in

plishing the fulfilment of those monstrous his home, in his business, in his personal and public relationship, at every point that

schemes, of an intermixture of the different bloods, a result that could only enervate and destroy tho white race: their aims will not be abandoned, even though the Union is severed into a thousand fragments.

They orgauize secret lodges, appoint committees, whose duty it is quietly and cautiously to approach every man, aud by every art of intrigue, to ascertain their various whims and caprices, and many, very many, are weekly invegled into the mazy labyrinths of their dark and oathbound snares. Once safely lodged, they become the miserable instruments, in bauds of designing men, and unless they are men of remarkable nerve, dare not undertake to meet the furor of their cronies, by exposing their doings, or seek to absolve themselves from their unholy alliance.— They arc slaves to do the basest of all menial work.

lnan holds sacred, and when they do not succeed in disarming and crushing him into submission to their treasonable designs, the mob or the midnight assassin finishes their hellish work.

Such is Black Republicanism, as its pestilential purposes are exhibited by what it has already doue in the States of our glorious confederacy. Not content to confine its awful designs to the States embraced in the Union, its withering blight has followed the hardy adventurer into the Western wilds, and enriched our virgin soil with the blood of thousands, of honest emigrants, who are the bone and sinew of the land, the men who make empires. A\ ith a people in Kansas with small means, and who expect their labor to make them a home and a fortune, they now seek to keep alive the fires of brotherly strife, delude the people from the adoption of a Constitution suitable to their wants, circumstances and climate, and instead of allowing them to adopt a free Constitution, as all evidence demonstrates a largo majority of the actual inhabitants desire, they council absence from the polls, fraud, strife, collision, bloodshed and civil war. When these things arc all carefully aud fairly considered, who can fail to perceive that treason is at the bottom of all their doings, and that they do not eare so much for the "rogues and theives" and the "graceless, worthless, thriftless, lying set of vagabonds," commonly known as negroes, as they at heart desire to uproot the palladium of our glorious Union. Particularly is this evident when during the time that they are expending millions to continue an

ote, disseminate nothing but evil princi- agitation, fraught with no good but prolific pies, disorganizing sentiment snd dam- of perils, their phi! philanthropic natures do

not prompt them to do anything to the actual advantage of the African, or induce them to adopt those they steal from happy homes in the South upon a social equality with their families.

In these desultory remarks we have not designed to allude to any person or any particular association, but rather to expose the modus operandi by which a great party in the free States are carrying out their designs and indicate what those designs are.

With all we have said, we think every honestly reflecting person will concur.— Concurring in this, it is apparent what the duty of the National Democracy is, what the duty of every patriot. Our watchfires must be re-kindled, our organization perfected. It is no time for sentinels to sleep at their posts. The olive branch of peace must be extended to every man who is desirous of rallying under the broad folds of the flag of tho Union. V\ hen, then, the time shall come that the worst is upon us, leius still cling to our glorious confederacy, and perish, if need be, with onr noble ship of state. But that ship can never be deserted whilst the true patriot is able to carry "a torch in one hand and a sword in the other." .U .«isa cr.. ..

This is the same collcgc which admitted a negro against the protest of the students, and rather than let him go, they preferred to sec the doors closed upon a white boy.

AN ASSORTMENT.—In

MEETING of the CRAWFORDSVILLE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE.

Pursuant to our notice, of last week, we publish a full, and elaborate report of the doings of this learned body.

On Tuesday the 14th inst., the Academy of Science held its annual meeting at the Hall^ of the Institute. A large crowd of some three or four persons was in atten. dance, and it was with the greatest difficulty that your reporter could procure a seat actuated however, with a laudable desire to discharge his duty to the public—he, after much tribulation, and danger to his somewhat extensive corporosity—managed to squeeze through the crowd, and satisfactorily ensconcing himself iu pew, No. 16, (near the rostrum,) awaited with great anxiety the commencement of proceedings.

At precisely six minutes past nine, (I am always particular in cronological matters,) the chairman. Dr. Glines, rose and addressed tho meeting in that peculiarly lucid and happy manner, which always characterizes his forensic efforts. lie first spoke of the objects of the Society—'their importance to the whole wrorld and the rest of mankind then eulogizing those great minds who had rendered their names immortal in tho same field of study he expressed it as his firm conviction that he saw before, and around him, (looking sternly at your reporter,) many, who would yet carve out for themselves, names, before which those of a Newton, a Humboldt, and Curier, would fade, and be lost in the oblivious obscurity of the past. lie said.the Society of which he was but a humble member, contained those who had drank at ever ,' stream of natural science tlicy had all the expcricnce of the past before tlicm, and for one, lie hoped they would throw that of the future behind, and press forward in their great work.

Then the enraged husband recognized him as his friend', and had him convoyed back to |tlic reading of the report of the last meethis house in Williamsburg aud after his wounds were dressed it appeared that tho bachelor did not know that the lady was the merchant's wife. She was sent home to her parents, and the injured man is recovering at tho house of the friend whose domestic happiness lie has scattered to the winds.

The society then proceeded to ballot for officers for the ensuing year, with the following result:

ficial in his attainments, and we have even heard it whispered that he was often guilty of plagiarism. We repel the charge with indignation, and confidently assert that thc Dr. is as much of an original as any man of our somewhat extensive acquaintance. We regret exceedingly that want of space will prevent us from giving to our readers the Dr.'a document entire. As it is, wc shall make but one cxtract..

"Dr. Kane in his late expedition to the north-pole, has established the fact, that an open sea, possessing a temperature considerably above the freeiing point, exists beyond the ice-locked oceans of the north.

Early last spring these distingnished 8 avans, Lieut. Maury and Prof. Agassi* inters rogatcd me concerning my belief in such a phenomena. I promptly replied, that for many years (through one of my most intimate friends) I had enjoyed a personal acquaintance with Dr. Kane, and that he was incapable of falsehood, and that furthermore, the fact of the existence of this open sea was easily accounted for by the following hypothesis:

It is a well known'fact, that strong currents running at the rate of three miles per hour, are constantly carrying the waters of the northern seas-towards the equator.— My old friend and former schoolmate, LaPJacc, has made a calculation that in the short space of 94 days, 6 hours, and 29 minutes, the whole northern ocean, down as far as the coast of Greenland, would be entirely drained of its waters, unless a steady supply from some unknown source was kept up, to counterbalance tho effects of these currents.

Gentlemen, my heart swells in rny throat when I consider that to me was left tho immortal honor of discovering where this supply proceeded from. The Gulf stream contains the solution of this difficult problem. It is a well known fact, to me, that the waters of the Gulf stream pass up our Eastern coast, till they strike against the banks of Newfoundland, here they are deflected across the Atlantic till they arrive near the coast of Norway, where they arc lost in the great eddy, known as the Maelstrom, the grinding effect of this eddy has been to cut a cavernous passage through the hard crust of the earth, beginning at the coast of Norway and terminating in the bottom of tlic polar sea—hence the supply of warm water and the absence of ice in the immediate vicinity of tho pole. This theory also accounts for another remarkable polar pher.cir.cnon, viz: the Aurora Rcrcnlis, which is nothing more than the rapid discharges of electricity, gcr.ettUod and accumulated in the waters during their rapid passage through this submarine canal."

The President said, that he had reecntlv come to the conclusion, that the Northern lights were produced byr the heated state of the earth's axis. It was a notorious fact, that the axle trees of ear-wheels become red hot when running very fast, with out an adequate supply of lubricating mat-

Gents, the valley of the Mississippi is unsurpassed in its production of cereals Connecticut already manufactures more brass clocks and wooden nutmegs than all the world beside—tho auriferous deposits of California arc as incxhaustablc as tho supply of rowdies in Now York City—the cord fields of Indiana are only equaled in extent by the cod-fisheries of Vermont.

North and South poles were nothing more uor less than two immense gudgeons, on which the earth revolved with immense vclosity, it had occurcd to him that they might be occasionally short of grease.— The idea had also struck him with considerable force that inasmuch as heat is known to expand all bodies that these gudgeons might become so heated, and consequently so expanded, as to become immovable in their journals, in which ca.sc the diurnal revolution of the earth would for a time cease, much to the discomfort of its inhabitants. Should this stoppage be a sudden one, there was reason to apprehend that every mother's son of lis would be jerked off into space, each individual describing in a truly gymnastic manner the arc of a Parabola. An incident of this kind, in our planets history, might bo more interesting than agreeable, and ho would suggest that the society appropriate its surplus funds for the purpose of fitting out a suitable expedition to visit the North po

and coast of Norway, and if it should be

In reply, Dr. Black observed that there |ter

bones of the Rhinoceros, the Elephant and the Mastedon-—animals who could only exist under a tropical sun—were found scattered over the frozen regions of the North, and to account for the distribution of these gigantic fossils, it had been argued, with considerable show of reason, that the Arctic regions must have had a temperature approximating at least to that of the tropics. But for his part he believed that these gigantic mammalia belonged to a geological epoch long anterior to that of the creation of man, and that the world was once peopled with races of giants, many families of which are now extinct. Naturalists tell us that in the old red Sandstone of Connecticut are found the footprints of birds, compared with which, the Ostrich would bear about the same proportion that the mnsquito does to the turkey buzzard. These immense specimens of the feathered tribe were undoubtedly birds of prey, and it is reasonable to suppose that they were in the habit of picking up the Elephant and Mastodon, as food for their young—-this he thought, would account for tho distribution of tlic bones of these mammalia..-

A member whose name wc did not learn, objected to this theory, as opposed to Revelation, which clearly taught that the world was crcatcd in about one week, with all its inhabitants, including man—and if such races of birds had existed wc should have had some account of them.

Mr. Giilicy, late of the Journal, was expected to read a very interesting paper, containing an account of the devastation committed in this place by the terrible Tornado of last summer, but owing, we presume, to his multifarious engagements at Yountsviile, was not able to be present.

The following letter from Prof. John Smith, of New York, was then read SANDY HOOK, June 18, 1857.

MY DEAR BLACK:—In

your request, I send you a detailed account of my Scientific investigations during the past year.

Dr. Black had given considerable attention to the temperature of space—he had used, in his observations, a nautical quadrant—and second-hand spirit level—and a centcrgrade thermometer. On the occasion of a cold day last winter, he thought he had succeeded in bringing down to a level with the earth, several rays of solar light, which pervaded space, these being reflected from the quadrant to the ball of the thermometer, indicated a temperature of about the freezing point.

Prof. Sanctus observed, that he differed from most Geologists, respecting the temperature of the earth, during that period which immediately preceded the Carboniferous. It was a well lfnown fact that the

The almost universal distribution of the Molusks during the Post Pliocene period, and the continuation of many varieties from the cretacous epoch to the present time, are considerations which have engrossed my profoundest attention.

What fun Adam must have had in the garden before that long-tailed gentleman introduced himself to mother Eve, and what, enjoyment our forefathers must have had in the halcyon days of their boyhood, ere fashion plates and folly made their appearance. girls, if you do not right about face, you never will find boys foolish enough to pay live dollars a week for your board, and find clothing to boot. They can't stand it.

A GOOD ccnv on .NON :.

Amos Kinsley, of Jamestown, Chautauque county, N. V.. gives the following account of the product of a good butter-mak-ing cow for one month, between April 25 and May 1857. He says:

Said cow is of our common breed medium size seven years old was wintered on corn fodder, the product of one and a half acres, together with one quart of corn meal night and morning, wet with the slops of the house, when I had any, and when not, with water, being stabled constantly except when she could be as comfortable out doors. The butter was manufactured woman who lived with us (my

by a yomi wife being sick at the time,) who professed no particular skill in butter making: ye: the result was 48 pounds and ten om.coi butter of first quality. And now perm!.: me to remark that it is my opinion that if dairymen in general would keep one-half as many cows as they now keep, and select their best and keep them in prime order and fatten the rest, they would realize a third if not double the profit tbey do on the whole number. Farmers often milk whatever happens to fall iiito their hands that looks like a cow, not realizing, per-

Col. Higgins thought it might be well! haps, that it costs just as much to keep one for the Society to appoint a committee to investigate Spiritual Phenomena. He thought that an enquiry into these manifestations might be carried on as well in Crawfordsville as elsewhere. He had noticed in a recent number of the Rcvicic, an account of some very remarkable manifestations, and he thought that considerable light might be thrown on this subject by carefully examining those gentlemen who were reported to have been present on that occasion.

Dr. Blue immediately obtained the floor, and said that he objected to the motion.— He bad aleo noticed th6 article in the Re-

that makes half a pound of butter a day as it does to keep one that will give a pound and a half a day. My cow does not give what would be called a large mess of milk —averaging only about 17 pounds to the milking in thc best of the season yet she averages over one and a half pounds of butter a day. In my opinion a cow that will not averages a pound a day for half the year should be discarded from the herd devoted to butter-making.
