Mn. EDITOR:—Tho temperance cause nerved their purposo admirably to collect '•round it a force as a nucleus for the new iparty. They soon, however, had no far thcr use for it, and instead of releasing the Ucnipcranco men from tho party, as they (pledged, their new adhcrants were placed 'under the most strict survcilance, and evcry appliance was brought to bear to retain -them until they could hitch another car on the train. This was admirably performed, and done to secure voters upon a principle new in the history cf our nation. They •united with them and built up an institn--tion, an exotio from the old world, and first 'adopted and organized by the rowdies and is

The object was to arouse tho prejudices *f the natives-against the foreign born citizens, and bring the subject of religion into the arena of politics.' Bift Tts principles 'and existence was to be kept secret from jthe publio. The usual party-drill was not enough to effcct tho purpose the most revolting obligations were administered to the applicant and attempted to impose it upon their consciences, by mocking tho solemnities of an oath.

JCho most artful illusions were held out to cxcito public curiosity and entrap the tinwary, and then they were frightened j«rith' fearful imprecations if they should violate their yjedges. The oath of the order iwas held as paramount to the obligations as a citixcn. Men becamo alarmed nod looked upon each other with doubt and Afetptushment. Morals bccauio relaxed, social "ties Vcrc sundered, the cause of religion languished, and ehurohes split and disorganized so rapid and insidious was it^"progress that the Democracy was for'a Vjriiijei confounded, the enemy was coucealod.and his missiles noiseless. They knew not who to suspect nor where to strike, and ip the next election they were beaten and tho. black flag waved to proclaim, a koow Jtothing triumph. "A'victory, forever a blemish upon the history of the parties of our country. Secured in some places by deception and ft-epchery, in others by fraudulent voting

and pcrjufy.i and in others by open violence and bloodshed. i''•••• "While the means iised'to sectrfe the elections were scandalous, the consequences were not less deplorable. It waa witnessed in the loss of public confidenic, in the turpitude and corruption of .jnen in office, and in the doubts engendered at home and abroad of our ability to sustain a purely republican form of government.''"-The marks of its desolation arc everywhere visible.— New York, Louisville, Baltimore and New Orleans, yet writhe under the load of corruption bred and fostered by this secret society.

Although we have yet to contend with the con sequences, yet as a body wc hope the thing is dead. Community where it became acquainted with' its" intent and workings, cast it off as a reptile, and iU successor even deny their blood relation yet the men that propagated it are still engaged in political wire-working, folded in the fond embrace of the Republican party, and very likely many of them will be candidates and solicit, our suffrage for office. Let us tell them we have not forgot the bloody Monday at Louisville, the burning of ballot-boxes in Cincinnati, the reign of terror in Baltimore, the public honors bestowed on the remains of a law-brakcr ana prize-fighter in New York, and the civil war now raging in New Orleans.' The responsibility of these things they can not evade. If they once crowed over a victory achieved by Sam, they must now bear the stench of his decaying remains.

There are many other things in this chapter of tho history of our opponents, but these we hope will suffice to bring the balance to our memory. We will open another chapter in our next. S. P.

PROCEEDINGS OP TIIE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, JUNE 4, 1838Convention met at one o'clock, P. M.

On motion, Major Winn was called to the Chair, and John Morgan appointed Secretary.

The object of the meeting having been stated by Mr. McDonald, on motion, all Democrats were authorized to attend the Congressional Convention as delegates,^.,,

A further motion was made that a County Convention, for the purpose of nominating County officers, be held at Crawfordsville the second Saturday of Ajugust.— After some preliminary remarks motion carricd.

Mr. Wallace then moved tho adoption of the following resolution: Resolved,. That the. delegates from this county to the Convention, at Lebanon, 011 the 10th, be requested, to use their influence'to secure the nomination of John Morgan, Esq., for tho office of Prosecuting Attorney, for the district composed of the counties of Montgomery and Boone.

Resolution adopted. Col. May being then loudly called for, came forward and ably addressed the audicncc. He commenced by stating that he never felt more at home than when among his old frieuds of Montgomery, and that there were no people he loved so muoh to address as thoso before him.s ":.Having resided, hare for many yeajrs, ho had bccamc attached to tho people, and nothing had ever been a greater oauso of regret to him than when ho removed from this, his parly home. Iloro it was ho had oommoncod the arduous duties of life, and here he had once intended always to livo, believing, as he did, that lie hadn't a personal onomy in the ni-if *m county.

Space will not permit us to noticc his speech at length, suffice lb tu a \y that it was as able, if not ono,of the ablest, delivered tliis year—replete with convincing argument, sound common sense, and soulstirririg eloquence. For more than two hours he maintained his well-earned reputation of being one of the. most logical and comprehensive speakers in the State. The history of the Democratic party he handled in a masterly manner exposed the hypocrisy of the'opposition and conclusively proved to evcicy thinking man, that the only way of preserving the union of these States intact, is:- by pursuing the course dictated by the father of his country, and leaving all great questions for a final settlement to the intelligence and patriotism of the masses.. He reviewed the trouble? consequent on the introduction of.the Lecompton constitution into Congress showed that it was no cause for dissension among Democrats as much as they might differ as to' the correctness of the principle involved that the whole matter had been finally compromised to the satisfaction of both wings, that it ought therefore to be taken out of general politics and left to the bpfia fide citizens of.Kanzas Territory, who alone were directly interested for adjudication, andthat hcnocforth Democrats shtiuld cease their wrangling and bngagc' like men in fighting the enemy of our country^-the Black Republicans. He exposed the attempts of tho Black Republicans to' sow dissension in the Democratic ranks, and scored them for their base dpabieniealing. Taking it altogether it was the soundest political speech delivered for many a day, and all that wo regret, is, that our country friends could not find time io leave their fields and gije him a hearing. Col. May has a bright future before him. 0$.' -i^

^—Sir:——In the last Journal OWEN

read— Mr. "Wilson "has done a clean work for his constituents, the short time he has been in Congress."

It is ti* be hoped the fortgoing statement is true, if it is intended by that, he has done anything good for the people of, the Eighth Congressional District. If lie has done any noble deeds, originated any measuro by his massive intellect, carried, any important bill through Congress, it would be a pleasure for many to read'his record. "What is "strictly meant' by the words "clcan work," is generally nnder.-. stood, but in politics, the people generally are not posted. It is probable he will show a record of his doings in Congress, explain what he lias done at "Washington City, give us ^ood ixxtMfor what is in him, anil prove that he has done us more good than any man since the days of Washington. If he docs, all nature will rejoice! but aay, has he done a "clean work" for himself? If si, his personal apparel is in a nicer condition than when last seen by

ONE WHO VOTES.

THE AY TO TREAT A BRITISH CRUISER. Captain Bartlett, of the ship Clarendon, lost on Key West, has furnished the Charleston Courier with the following account of the boarding of his ship at Sagua La Grand, by the officers of the British steamer Buzzard. Here is Captain Bartlett's account:

My vessel was at anchor three smiles from the port of Sagua, in the outer, harbor,- receiving cargo for New York. At about ten o'clock in the morning of the 2d of May, the "steamer Buzzard hove in sight seaward and rapidly approached the harbor and cast anchor half a cable's length from my ship. Very soon after, a boat, in charge of a midshipman, camo alongside. Mounting the side, and approaching the captain on the quarter- deck, the officer asked, "Are you the captain?" Receiving an affirmative answer, he says: "I.was sent on board by the commander of her Britannic Majesty's steamship Buzzard, to examine the papers of your ship." .He was answered, "This is an American ship—I do not recognize your commander's authority to make any such request." •,

Midshipman.—iJon'tyou know that ice have a puss from.your Government to. examine'your. vcsseL

Captain B.—I was not aware of any such authority having been given your Government but show 1110 the pass, anil I will show my papers—not before

Midshipman—You will be made to show them. Captain B.—Not while I havo charge of the ship. 7

The Midshipman now returned to the Buzzard. Soon after the Spanish national flag was hoisted on board the steamer.— Fifteen minutes elapsed when a gun was fired, and another boat left her side and headed for the ship. The officer in command jumped on deck," and approached Captain Bartlett, who had in the interval of the visits got out his armament—six dilapidated muskets and an unloaded Colt's revolver—in a pompous manner declared himself to be the Commander of H. B. M. steamship Buzzard, and said roughly, "I want to see your papers?"

Capt. B. replied—I do not rooognize your right to make any suoh demand. I do not know whether you are an English or a Spanish man-of-war. You show( the colors of both nations.

Commander—I can set any colors I oboosc, English, Spanish or American.— Why did'nt you get your colors when you saw a nian.of.war approaching?

Capt. B.—I did not know whether you was a man-of-war or not, I should judge you to bo a pirato from your notions.

Commander, pointing to the gold bands on his slcovc—-Doji't you sco tho Insignia of my office?

Capt, —-I have plenty of such stuff in the cabin—that don't signify much! Coinmandier, in an imperious, haughty tone—If you do not show your papers instanter, I'll put you.in irons, take your vessel as a prize, and carry her to New York.

Capt. Bartlett—That would suit me exactly. I have been in Cuba four months looking .for freight, and have "taken up' at a low figure. A voyage to New York, under such circumstanccs, would put money into my pocket and that of my owners.

The Commander then left in'high dudgeon, and went back to the Buzzard,. Great confusion seemed to prevail onboard the drums were .beat, calling tho men to quar tera. Bulwarks were removed—giins.bro't to bear upon the ship—the great launches carried upon the wheelhouses, lowered into the water, and the cutters brought to the gangways.

Into them poured a stream of lieutcn ants, midshipmen,, marines and sailors— every man armbd with a musket, a cutlass, and a brace of pistols. This formidable flotilla—four boats, as many officers, and 100 men in battle array—sipproached the Clarendon, and, as they came up, the marines were ordered, to load.

Capt. Bartlett now concluded to show his Colors. His armament had,been got in readiness, and. tip. went tlie stars and stripes. (The''flag' had'.:bieen.laying upon tho deck' 'duriM''^o^ifofmer visit.) An officer froni each boat' tlieii came' on "board. The Captain was asked 'if he was ready to show hfs papers?' ^'Thiffrc is my .flag," says.'Ciptaiii^Brj ""'I refuse to show mypar pers, under any cbnsiueration whatever." 'Yotit iflag," they said, "has been hoisted too late. .We have orders .from our commander to take charge of this ship,, and we shall procpcd to execute the or^cr.'''•The cominhnder himself now" came'off in another boat',' the crew of which jve're ariiie'd like the rest.' He made the same'demand, and ireceived the saine reply. Capt. Bartlett furthermore said:1 "I am iq a Spanish port, under Spanish protection, and have a Spanish Custom House officer .at this molneut on board my ship." "This will avail you nothing," says the British Captain,^"Jt shall now take the ship." He then directed an officer to,order the guard on board. As their heads appeared above the rail, P^ptain Bartlfett drew his unloaded Colt, *nd declared1 he^ woidd blow the brains put of the first man ^ho came on deck.

Things now looked belligerent, the lionhearted commander countermanded his order, and said,

nI-

will haul the steamer

alongside." Capt. Bartlett said, "If you come alongvide I shall give up my ship

wiih the'greitest plea8nre." The Commander, now at^ loss wiiat til .do, hep-a consultation ffith hisiofl^ers, One of whom remarked, that-he-fmraghMhcre was fcrce enough already to take the ship without the steamer's assistance. The commander asked Capt. B. if he had any pbjectiohg to giving his name. "Yes, I have great "objeetiong/' "Who are your owners-?1 "Thatqucstion Ishallnot answer.''], "Who are'your, consignees?'V ."That is none of your business.",:

Similar questions were

asked C.^pt. -Bartlett, who refused to give any satisfaction when thinking that jthe farce was about played out, ho approached the commander and bluntly told him that he did not know bis duty. "I don't hey?" "No you don't, or you 'would never have come on board an American Vessel at anchor, receiving cargo in a foreign port, and demand to see her'papers."-

He then remarked, "Is there an American Consul ashore?'' at the same time asking the custom, house officer the name of the port. Captain B. answered, "There is not." "Is there a Commercial Agent "There is a person who a^tsin that 'capacity, but I have never seen his commission." "Has he your, papers?" "That is none of your business." "W/c'll," says one of the officers, "this is the rummiest customer we have ever fallen in with."' The commander of the Buzzard says to the first mate of the ship, "Lower down your steps, so that the-officers can get into the boats." Captain B. reminded him that he was master of the ship and says "Do you order me to lower the ladder or do you ask me He replied in a humiliating tone," "Will you lower it, if you please, sir?" "Yes, with the greatest pleasure." Then the commander of the Buzzard aud his officers went down the ladder and into their boats, and returned somewhat crest-fallen to their ship.

AN OUTRAGE UPON A YOUNG FEMALE IN IIOROKEN—SUE IS CARRIED OFF AND RAVISHED.,- vv

The city of Hoboken is certainly gaining a very unenviable fame for .wickedness and corruption. Within a single year two bloody murders have occurred, and ten times as many rape cases and burglaries. Yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock, anew case came up for public gossip. It appears that three young ladies, the daughters of a retired merchant, were walking towards the Elysian Fields, and when near the Sybil's Cave, they were hailed by two vcry'well dressed young men, who were enjoying a sail in a small "dinky" row boat. One Of them invited the young ladies to take a sail, but they all refused except the- yOungest, a fine-looking Miss of about 17 summers. Her companions cn-' deavored to-.^oraundo :Jior to'TciTiain witli them, and "not go on the water with strangers,'" but she replied that, doubtless,, they were respectable young men, who. were boarding in' River Terrace or some other fashionable locality, and were perfectly honest in their offer. She accordingly got into the boat, and had no sooner taken her seat, than the two young men pulled away to tho New York shore:"""'She became frightened, ifet the fellows told her they were only trying their speed, and would not row out beyond the middlo of the river. This pacified her until the middle of the river was gained, when they turned the head of the boat towards "Highwood," the residence of Denning Ducr, the banker, when she again suspected something might be wrong and began to scream loudly for help.

Her companions, on the shore, had contimied their walk to the Fields, but kept a strict watch upon the boat. On arriving at the hotel there, they inquired as to the respectability of the young men, and upon their giving a description of them, they learned to their astonishment that they were notorious black legs from Now York, who were in the habit of coming over in boat and decoying unsuspecting females into their boat for1 tho-purpose oif ravishing them. The remaining two young ladies immediately offered a reward to any one who would go Out and roscue their companion. John Kinney and Goorgo Wnlsh, two shad fishermen, volunteered They then put off in a squall boat, and when they had ODIUO within one hundred yards of-tho scoundrels, one of them fired a pistol at Kinney, without taking effect,

In tho meantime the fellows had thrown tho girl.into the bottom of the "dinky," and each ravished her per3on. Kinney and Walsh continued to follow the boat, which was now nearing the New York shore. They were'fired at several times, but fortunately were not touched. The unfortunate girl was kept in tho bottom of the boat while her persecutors rowed for the foot of Thirty-first 'street, where they jumped on shore1 and made off, add have ndt since been seen or heard from. Kinney and Walsh soon came up in their boat, and transferred the girl'to their own boat, art'd returned to Hoboken. She remained insensible until late last nighf and it is feared she io badly injured that death may!ensue.—iV. Y. Day BooJbl am ni ARE THIN PEOPLE LIABLE TO APO- ... PLEXY!

After effecting a splice in the11middle of the'Atlantic and safely sinking the wire to tho bottom of the sea .(a depth of 1,600 fathoms,) the Niagara will steer for Newfoundland,'and the Agamemnon. for Ireland, each vessels steaming as -font to' tier homeward-destinafcion as is consistent witli safety to. the groat 'Undertaking. In case of dangerous weather arising, the first consideration will be of. course, the safety of the cable and, no matter how advantageous any course of action may appear, nothing will bo done by which the success of the" undertaking will bo jeoparded or even loft to chance. Each vessel is provided with reels of strong wire rope, which can bp attached to buoys made in the manner of ordinary fishing floats, though capable of sustaining a weight of several ton a.— Provided with this apparatus the cable mav be cut without reluctaneo, if the weather threatens, and the end of it (firmly secured to the rope and buoy) allowed to rest almost upon tho bod of the ocean, to bo hauled up diroctly after the storm has passed. Proper precautions havo also been taken to make the-floating ends of the buoys conspicuous and easily found in case of the ships being driven from them.

A number of experiments have recently been made with a view of increasing the rapidity of working signals through the entire length of the cable. These experi ments, in which a variety of inventions and applicants have been employed, have been conducted by Professor Thompson. Mr. Hughes, the American cleetrian (whose printing telegraph is likely to revolutionize the present uncertain system,) Mr. Henly, and Mr. Whitchouse. The result, though on the whole far more satisfactory than was at first anticipated, shows indubitably that nwfl than one submarine' cable will be requirecl.to.do all:.£? business likely to be transacted betwoon this cu^.n*ry

It is only for the purpose of counteract ing the disturbing influence of these mysterious magnetic storms, it will be necessary for the Atlantic Company.to lay down a second wire as soon as possible—that is, to have a. complete iiietalic circuit for tho return of the eleetricity along tho outer wires of the second cablo, instead of being discharged by the earth. Formerly the signals, wero worked through the Atlantic coils by moans of a'Smee's battery of .48 large cells with large.induction .coils, constituting probably the most powerful battery ever constructed. How tho insulation of tho oablo withstood the severe test is an enigma. It has* howeyer, since been ascertained that an ordinary.battery of six cells transmitted the signals with the same facility,, and that in fact, the quantity of electricity generated by the enprmous power of the first battery ch?cke^ of charged by the wire,

To overcotoc the difficulty caused by the two portions'of the cable having their lay of twist of vthe outside spiral wires turning, in different direotions, and forming right and left hand screws, the splice will be secured to rods of iron loaded with a weight in the centre in fact an apparatus of the same kind as that by which railway carriages are coupled together.— By:this means the tendency of the different spirals to untwist:each other will be overcome.

Earlypin the Spring 18^4, th^^arrived.'in one .of. Uie Coferd •steamers, a family of four persons, viz Mr. Greyson, his wife, her maid, Mary Ann Morrison, and a tall clerical looking man, named Stark, a second cousin of Mrs. Greyron'st -The Greysons-bad resided for-many years in, or near a village of .Devonshire, England, until they received a visit from Stark, who had lived in this country since 1836, and who persuaded them'to se\l Hbeir farm and come to America, bringing with them a girl brought up in the: family, and whose name was Mary Ann Morrison. On reaching'New York,mansion on Third Avenue- was seenred and 'furnished plainly for their accommodation, and the- four immediately took poSession of it, Mary acting ac chambermaid,, and occupying tho place of a favorite domestic., In: 1856, S^ark persuaded Greyson to advance him several thousand dollars, representing tha^a fine speculation lyasSffer'cd in ope of1the'Western States.1! So completely had he'wound intQ the confideiicfe and respect of tho Englishman, that the latter scrupled not tio accede to his wish, and, with a full pqeket, Stark departed'for the West, making Mary a handsome present, and arranging with her for a correspondence between them.—

Nothing was heard of him for many months, and Greyson began to 'feel uneasy about his loaned funds .until August of the last year, when he wrote to Mary, stating that he had been very successful, but was engaged in a business that required his con stant attention, and therefore he could not leave it but wished they would all come to, him, and wound np with a glowing eu-

the case also with the Agamemnon's. portion of .the distance. But on the American side the water shoales easily and gradr ually toward Newfoundland,, whereas on the British portion of the ocean the Agamcibnon will have to surmount a tremendous ridge, which may be called the Andes of those vast submarine plains of the Atlantic. I commences at 15 deg. west longitude, and' in the course of a few miles the water.suddenly shoals from 1,750 fathoms to 550. Up this vast.rocky precipice —almost, as steep as. the side of Mount Blanc—the cable must be laid with extreme care. This, difficulty once ovcrcome, tho way thence to Valentia becomes comparatively of no account. J-'{

Without giving further details, sufficc it to say, that the feniinines soon discovered the "peculiar institution of Brigham Yolingism," and bitterly cursing their deceiver but.not so, with Mr. Greyson lie had no objection to a new wife, and when he found that his money had been invested in town lots, he bccamc so exultant, that his wife feared an addition to their household. But poor Mary was the greatest, victim. Stark openly avowed his fealty to Mormonism, declaring that ho had been oue of Brigham's disciples long before he visited. England, and sternly informed Mary that she must become his wife according to the command of great, the High Priest. The Devonshire maiden resented his insolence with so much fury, that he fled from her, and she appealed to Mr. Greyson, expecting that ho would call the inaulter to account for it. But there she was mistaken for, as we: have before stated, the English farmer rather liked the novelty of Mormon institutions, and cooly advised her to becomc one of Brother Stark's drudges, Mary next sought counscl of Mrs. Greyson but the poor woman was heart broken, and soon found rest in the grave. From the time of her death, the bearing of Stark toward Miss Morrison became insupportable, and she determined to fly on the very night that was fixed for her sealing to the grey haired libertine. We next behold her wanae."""1*

Greyson, begging, him to leave

New York* and join him at Cincinnati on the, 12th of September, as, said he, "I shall be .there on business at that date, and' I kno.w that if Mrs. Greyson, Mary and yourself, could once be in the West, you would never. wish to leaye it." Being rather wearied with idleness in the Empire City, and finding his. wifo and "ary. eager to see "what a prairie is,", the confiding son of John Bull had an auction sale of his chattels, and having received a goodly sum therefrom, started over the Erie road on his way to join the speculating Stark.— According to agreement, that personage met the travelers at the Burnet House in Cincinnati, and forthwith unfolded his schemes to the family. They involved an iunncdiate journey to Salt Lake, City, a locality quite unknown to the Greysons, and hence they willingly fell into the trap.— The speculator said that ho had.purchased property in ,tliat'TSdcn of America, and would soon sell it at an advance of several hundred per centage. All was received as gospel by Greyson, and in high spirits tlie parties crossed the plains, Stark paying marked attention to Mary all the while, and studiously antibipating her every wish.

roanied thus, nearly two 'days, when hcr pursuers, the heartless Danites, caught sight of her, and with loud shouts, advanced toward her. With a scream of anguish, the unfortunate. girl fell to the ground, expecting to feel their hands upon her tho next moment, when a tall, dusky figure sprang, from, tho long grass to where she lay, caught her up, bore her to a wild looking mustang that stood in the shade of an adjacent tree, leaped with her into the saddle, and rode off on: tho wings of the air, just as the disappointed "avenging angels" came up, sending tho war-hoop of tho Dacotahs down tho wind. In explananation of his romantie affair, it is necessary to say, that tho Indian had been watching for some hours previous, and divining from her actions that she dreaded pursuit, had staid near and'Vescu^d her, as above stated. On recovering her senses, she found herself in tho camp of Colonel Johnson, attended by her deliverer, who spoke very bad English, but, lyas, nevertheless, a very comely fellow .to look at. Without relatives or friends, .in a strange placed and .wjtfiO'iit money, the attentions of the Uacotah had all the weight he intended they should, -and at the expiration of a week froip the day of her arrival in the camp, Mary Ann ^Morrison was married to the red man. .Hiro.we jlose this curious narrative the truth "of "yyliich is attested by Lieutenant of|the.
