Subject to the decision of the Democratic National Convention, to he holden at ./ Charleston, South Carolina.

TUB PIUZK FIGHT.—We publish the full particulars of this barba-ous affair on '•lie first page of this week's paper. Our jobjcct in doing so is to let our readers see the dark side of humanity, and the wretched state of society in the Eastern States.

I®f"Wc call the attention of the Democracy to a notice for a Democratic meeting in Coal Creek Township. The Democracy of that Township have resolved to go to work, and the next election will prove that they have not been idle. Let tho Democracy of the other Townships do likewise, and Black Republicans will be as scarce as lien's teeth next October.

PRINTER'S CONVENTION. We surest to our cotemporarics throughout the State, the propriety of holding a convention of the publishers of the hidiana press, at Indianapolis, on. the 17th of •January. Will the Indianapolis papers Hoennil Uiic lvinvo

SSTNow is tho time to subscribe for the -.Review. The State Legislature will convene on the 20th of next mouth, and Congress on the 1st Monday in December.—

We intend to make an interesting paper this winter, and those who can not afford to pay the cash can pay in wood, or any kind of produce. We respectfully request our friends in the several Townships to assist in extending our circulation.

86T"Ncarly every mail brings us letters containing advertisements from newspaper agents in the eastern cities. Having been swindled several times by these rascals, wo pay no attention to their letters or circulars. The only honest newspaper agent that we kuow of at the present time, is S. H. PARVIN, of Cincinnati. In hiin we have every confidence. For the last six years we have advertised for him, and during that period have always found him honest and punctual in paying the printer. Agents in the eastern cities are fooling their time away in sending us advertisements unaccompanied with the cash.

®SF" While at (ireencaatlc a few days since, we were t-hownby 31 r. KISSNKR, formerly of this place, an elegaut piano, manufactured in Germany and imported by him.

The. construction of this instrument is entirely different from those manufactured iu the United States. It occupies at least one half tho room that the square pianos do, while it is light and portable, being easily carried by two men. Its tone is magnificent and as far superior to our American instruments as the song of the nightingale is to the croakings of a bullfrog. In fact wo have never seen a piano forte that contained such volume of sound, such tones of ravishing sweetness as this instrument. JNIr.

KISSNER is an accom

plished musician and occupies a high rank among the artists of the day. He is an agent for tho sale of these superb instu«nents..

NEW CLOTHING STOKE. HORR, FISK & Co., of New York, will open a large Clothing Store next week, iu the room formerly occupied bj* Parrish & Co., opposite Manson & Powers' Drug Store. Their stock is an immense one aud will be sold at figures below till competition. Now is the time to buy wiuter clothing, when it cau be purchased with a saving of from twenty-five to fifty per cent.

•^Tlhc Indianapolis National Democrat, tho organ of Hon. John G. Davis, says: "No man who is acquainted with John G. Davis ever had the remotest id?a that he would hereafter be anything than just the Democrat that he has always been. Not a single Republican, we presume, who roted for him did so with the expectation tnat lie would join the Republican party Mr. DA vis mado the canvass at a Democrat, and was elected as a Democrat." We presume the Democrat speaks "by authority."

TIIE CONTEST IN ILLINOIS. Next Tuesday the Democracy of our sister State will be "callcd upon to determine at the polls whether the course pursued by Judge Douglas last winter meets with their approval not To .die contest new so-bitterly* waged.in.,that State, the eyes of the nation arc turned, and.upon its result depends the future of the Democrat? ic party. What that result may -be trc ore uot prepared to say hopeful however that all may yet be well, fearful for our cbnntry if it should terminate. disastrously to the champion of American Democracy.

Should Douglas unfortuiiately be defeat-, cd—the reason why will be evident. The cause of his downfall'will'rcst heavily up on that class of Democrats who have wandered off after strange gods—the Carpenters, the Cooks, the Fitches, and men of like character. It is worse than useless to attempt to disguise the fact from the people—for we have become a reading nation. No contest can be carricd on without the masses understanding fully and clearly the issues at stake. And though politicians for private ends may seek to covcr up the true issues from the people, and though they may attempt even to eschew that issue, yet will the people event ually sec through their hvpocracy, and hurl upon theni the anathemas of a once down-trodden public opinion.

The fact is not to be disguised that mighty force has been brought to bear against Judge Douglas, with the hope of of thereby crushing him as a politician. And that those most prominent in their opposition to him are certain aspirants iu the Democratic party for executive honors.— And worse than all, some of them were the inost rabid free-soilcrs in MS now great sticklers for Democracy in truth the tools, nay worse, tho debased slaves of official patronage. For them, we, defenders of pure, uncorrupted Democracy, have .only a loathing contempt. *,!,?•

The contcst is now drawing to a close— the war between giants is soon to. terminate. A corrupt party, assisted by certain sore-headed, unprincipled Democrats, is combined against one man, and that man the great leader of the North-Western Democracy. Power, and a mighty power, we admit, at that, is urging on its men to the strife. Stung to the quick at the overthrow of an unjust policy, it seeks to revenge itself by slaying the man that dared do his duty.

The observant reader of history will notice that however pure parties may be at tlio outset, it is dangerous to entrust them with power for too long a time. For power as a general thing lias a tendency to corrupt its possessor, no matter how secure he may consider himself from all CUM noting influences. So in tho contest in Illinois. This power of which we speak was at one time pure it professed great devotion to the principle that made it, and yet in an evil hour it permitted prejudice to get the better of reason, and the result is a bitter war in the party. Let the result be what it may, those who have turned from the path of rectitude and kept up the fires of dissension in order to defeat Douglas and rise on his ruin, will j-ct meet with a day of reckoning. The Democracy will ere long have an opportunity of passing upon the conduct of these men, and to a political death will they be doomed.

It is cheering, however, to know that there arc hundreds of prominent Democrats all over the Union who, though believing Douglas did not. pursue the right course in the Senate last winter, yet wish him God-speed in his present contcst with abolition Lincoln and his Danite horde.— For such Democrats we are at all times ready and willing to vote, aud for their political advancement arc our sympathies always enlisted.

8®* Gjcat dissatisfaction is expressed at New York at the glut of silver coin, consequent upon the China war, which has prevented its export.

EST" Our neighbor of the Journal, like Lazarus on the dung-hill, sc'cms to be somewhat exercised about our "bread and butter." Like a Digger Indian, he watches every mouthful we take and no doubt would gladly exchange his hoe-cake and grubworms for a morsel of our Buchauan-sweet-cake kivered all over with Douglas honey. Lo! the poor African.

A FATHER AIMS A BLOW AT HI-S T\ 1FE AND KILLS ms CHILD.—Iu New Yjrk, a few evenings since, Patrick Staekpole. a stevedore, weut home drunk, and, becoming enraged at something his wife said, pulled off his clothes for the purpose of beating her. Picking up a stick, he aimed a blow at his wife, who held in her arms tlieir infant child, a girl, only three mouths old, but the missile, instead of harming the wife, fell violently upon the head of the little one. The child weut into a spasm and died in the course of three or tour, minutes.

The St. Paul Pioneer and De/no-

crat, in commenting upon the recent eleo tioo in Minnesota, says: i'Minnesota was never' more thoroughly Democratic than she is to-day. The "absurd cry that ours is a pro-slavery party, and the removal of "bleeding Kansas" from the political stage, has shorn Black Republicanism of its formidable' appearance. The future beckons- bit to more glorious victories than we have secured in the past.

THE PIMWCIPLES Sift' THE W&^CI lCAf PABTrJg Qur neyfrbox of to^liave a Kowfedge of" flilfprin his party. He boldly asserts that the Republican party is ui^feqaivjbcldly opposed to, the further extension" of slavery." ^bat it holds to the doctrine of TR& DSHSESSnfaTtf Independence',' "that all ftien" (niggers in eluded) are born free and equal, and possessed of certain inalienable, rights, such aa life, liberty and tlie:pursuit ,of. happiness'?" the interpretation of which means negro-equality. Ndw toshowour readers .the difference of opinion that exists with this pie-balil t^r real principles, we quote from the Evans ville Journal, a Black Republican paper, the following prcciou's morale! of cdnsisten

c': 11?

"As the Republicans have abandoned nearly all their distinctive temperance and anti slavery tenets—or profess, at least, to hold them in ,abcyance-*-there is no good in preserving their exclusive organization and name."

How does our neighbor like this interpretation of the principles of his negro lovinc party? Does it coincide with his understanding of them! Ilear what the Vincennes Gazette, another organ of the African party,- says of its musbroon banditti: "The contest is' over, and in some dis tricts independent Democratic''Candidates have been elected by "our aid but what has the Republican party gained by it'?—Are we in any better "condition, fts a i)arty, than we were before the election? 'As the issues die out upon which .the Ariti-Le-compton Democrats have'been'elected, will they not again become identified! with the Democratic party? Some may not-, but others will, in all probability and if so, where is our gain, eyen'where we. have: succeeded by this fusion It is slight, if any." a- ^TT

Does our neighbor agree 'with this exponent of niggprism, that his party has lost by its fusion, and that, to gam a. temporary victory they have surrendered, all their distinctive issues?

Listen to the Olil Nestor of this "party, Joshua R. biddings, and see' the hoTre sty and consistency of Biaclc Republicanism. Giddings speaks by the card—lie drew uj with his own hand the Philadelphia piatform of 1850. ITcre it is: "f"1':''"Our danger of defeat in 18G0 arisbs from the efforts now making to modify the position assumed by tlio Republicans in 1856. We cannot disguise the fact that some of our journalists and some our candidates for office are seeking.to gain' the support of tiie timid and weak men', l'y denying that the Republican party is pledged against the extension ot the slave -powcr|. They say disiinelly that our Plukidcfphia platform dor* not: pledge the party to oppose the admission of more slave States.— Some say the// would vo/e to admit new States icit/i staiThutdirig co/is'ittrfiorr.s. "We do not stop to argue the question at this point. J/' the fundamental truths put forth in that instrument do not exclude the extension of the slave power by the consent or vote of the Rejmhlicav, juirty, its franters failed to express what they supjosed neither Jric/uf nor foe could, doubt." .1

What has our neighbor to say to this?— Does he subscribe to it?,-,. Is Gerritt Smith, the great and sincere champion of the anti-slavery and temperance cause correct, when speaking of this party of abominations, he uses the following strong language: "The Republican party is worse than the Democratic and Native American parties only inasmuch as it is a stupendous hypocrite and utter humbug. Our special complaint of the Rcpublicau party, is, that its demagogues are in the habit of stealing our flag, and by that means getting votes to which we alone- are entitled, and which it is as unprincipled and impudent in them as it would he in the Democratic and American parties to-lay claim to."

If ever a political organization was filled rith rottenness and corruption it is this modern Republican party. Its infamy and damnable hypocrisy arc proved upon it by its own leaders, and like an abject cri'uiinal, it stands self-convicted.

In order to show further the wretched inconsistencies and absurdities of this party, hear what ex-dovcrnor Gardner, a leading Black Republican of 3Iassachur setts says: *«••«.

"The two partics—rAmerican and Republican— are,( naturally and necessarily antagonistic. The American was founded upon the ever-living spirit of broad American nationalism the Republican, upon temporary sectional feud ^between North aiid South. The American party embraces all parts of our common country within the scope of its organization the Republjean is necessarily limited to less than one-quarter of the geographical arena our Union. .The events of. every day point out the greater necessity for the existence and sue'eess of .A'menSan* principles while the fact which created the Re-' publican party, the cause of its growth, and the life-blood of its existence is already removed—the .people ,of Kansas,' "at'tlieiY recent election settling their otfn tftforrs," by their own peaceful voices, at' their own-ballot-boxes. "The Republican party is waning everywhere. W. H. Seward, mouths agor iicknowledged in a public speech, "it h'ad a©?' complished its mission." It will soon be "an effete Organization." Sectional parties are no new thing, mad they are always, as: they always should be, short lived."

|We ipa^Kbur fiejcMWri# poi

Will our neighbor set up his weak and feeble. judgnient against __the opinion of Wra. II. Seward, and deny that the Republican party "has accomplished its mission," and that it will soon be "an effete organization?" We thiiik he will not.— The truth is, there l'arc*4pi"iw^ Republicans who think alike, and.it has become a matter of fact that not one in a thousand dan tell you what the principles of his party are. We have proyiecl from its' owii founders thai it is a foul, corrupt ronton cabal of demagogues, whose only object is to produce discord and contention.

of life he continued for nearly four months which, to him, was the .lpo'st." t^'ing that lie ever passed through.. So,ni.e.oi his pedestrian feats, while in traininir, used to'astonish the people in the neighborhood of Harlem, particularly his race with a fr s! trotting horse from McConil/s Dart to Hock Cottage—about two miles.—on which occasion he beat tho horse. His activity was generally remarked, and it is said that he would run backward iis" fast as any ordinary runner could go forward. With all the.excessive training, however, to which lie was subjected, his stamina was so good that it was impossible to reduce liini.below a weight of one hundred an'cl ninety-five pounds, aiid his health continued unimpaired until lie' stepped into' the ring to fight for the championship of America.

Morrissey's training was done in the neighborhood of Lansirigburg, on the Hudson River. His head-quarters were at the \bbey Hotel, where he was under the care of Shepherd, his traiher, who proved him--self an .attentive and skillful man. The ysteui adopted in the training of Morrissey differed in sOi'nc respects from that of Hec nan, although the amount of labor which each had to perform was about'equal part of Morrissey's training consisted of rowing a boat.- His diet also differed. In the mornirig', for instance he took a cup of tea with the yolk of an egg beat up in it and a mutton'chop, and while on his pedestrian exercisc would inuulge in a glass of ale on the road. At supper he frequently-partook of a' tender young chicken, and occasionally' few light-boiled eggs, dainties which wtJuld ivot lva've been allowed by so severe a disciplinarian as Cuptain Barclay. However, when he took his ale on the road lie 'omitted-Itis sherry1 at -dinner. His usual hour for riding in the morning was about five o'clock, when1, after washing and sponging in cold v\lter, with a good hand-rub-bing, he dressed and practiced with the dumb-bells aiid a weight machine for about half an hour, and then started'on his morn-, ing walk, of four or.fivc miles, before breakfast, which took place at eight o'clock.

Bell ."was. in this city,last week, for the double purpose o£ ,attending the .F ai,r, and meeting his sister whp lives in Iioiq§villey he being about.to return to Califor nia. His sister, aud also his mother, cauic over on Saturday, and were,, doubtless, watched and followed by the fellows .who diii./the-dqe.d we are abo'ut to speak of.

Mr.vBell had takeu.his relatives to tli.e ferryboat, and, was on. -bis return .to .the. DePaw House for ..the ijmrpose ,of taking the stage for Cory don .when, on arriving near the:C.orner .of Main and Bauk streetshe was assaulted by a gang of ..five men from Lou is ville,,all armed .to,, the tppth^who knocked oft* .Bell's hat,.tppk away his .arms and liumed him off ty the ferry bpat-, wli'i.ch the .ins.taut iie..was p\it OIL,board,'.was put in niotion, aiujileft^ar, the l\cntucky^hoxe. This was .between three and four.o clpqlc, when the .^trects were almost dc^ei'tcdj nearly, ail our citizens bejng iu .attenil.ence on the closing,scenes, of,the Fair. A fc.w howe.yer, who got wind of. tlie outi age, followed the gang to tlie..river/ aiyl' warned

pea reel-to be as hot haste, to leave their jirey as the Louisville outlaws. Watchman Carpenter (the same yriio sl^od by y. hile aubtl'ier'gahg of' Louisville bullies was boating Ste'wai'd Sanford on election day, w'iihout attempting to, interfere)'is said to have been on the wharf at the time Belf was hu'stled, off, and' made no protest whatever agniiVst the outrage. It is to be hojied the City Council will take his case in hand. The Louisville officers said to be engaged iu this outrage are John 'iulow, Joe Swinncy, Crofoet, Vanzant, and Decring.

The cxcitement'in this city on Saturday night and Sunday night was very great.— Meetings were held at the wharf and at the court house, to consider the matter, at which resolutions were adopted denouncing this invasion upon the sovereignty of Indiana.

We have.no wish to add to this excitementor to deal in harsh epithets towards our Kentucky neighbors. Still, this is a case which demands more than usual attention. The men (or most of them) who committed this violation of the comity of States were sworn officers of Louisville, not mere private citizens, upon whom little or no responsibility rests. They at least. should know what is due from State to State and from city to city. Had the authorities or citizens of Indiana ever manifested a disposition to shield criminals escaping from Kentucky, there might have been some shadow of ^excuse for this gross outrage. ., Bilt there has been no such disposition manifested' here. We have ever treated our Kentucky neighbors as we would have them to treat us. But it seems this state of things is not to last. Kenlucky bullies came to our city on election day, and beat and maltreat our citizens, and Kentucky officers,' armed to the teeth, come and forcibly carried off a citizeu ..at midday from our most public street^ ^7

The condition oftningsin Baltimore is now attracting^^^tfie^iStentran'of "ihe people of the whole country. The facl^Has b^en completely established, and is, we^elieve/ aimecFTn no resp'ceiable quarler, tSSt flie prcsent Fusion cfty goVerninent was cfiosen by a .mob, and ^y, the ^driving of-a large majority'of quiet and orderly citizens from the polls. The city has been conquered, and a usurpation of the government in opposition to the wishes of the majority, has been effected. What under such circumstances should be done is aow a subject of discussion in the Baltimore-press. Their government is a bogus one, imposed on them by force, and all its acts'are morally if not legally invalid. Shall this usurpation be quiethpendured is now the question in Baltimore, or shall the people arise in: tlieir might arid resume their sovereignty. The'Baltimorc Sun, a neutral paper, of great circulation and influence, thus discusses tlie subject-in its issue of Oct. 19:. "The facts before ns, as developed on Wednesday last, in reference to the municipal election, so called, furnish a record of outrage, lawlessness, villainy-and' ruffian-ism,'full-bl&Svn, audacious, fearless of consequences',- and practiced with the most

pable impunity. The effect of .this- thing has been that thousands of our citizens have, been despoiled of their rights bun dre'ds maltreated at the polls, and the liyes and liuibs of* all, with very few exceptions, who, yentured to offer a vote in opposition to Mr. Swann, menaced with peril.. Now, if such an atrocity had been perpetrated against the American people, under circumstances which precluded all hope of redress but through an appeal to aruiSj the duty,of the trqe iiian and the true press., could not be mistaken. The tiijae for.'revolution would have come, and there would be. an instant rallying of the people.'to do or die.' For instance", suppose we had continued in colonial dependenc(^'upoh Great Britain to, this day, with a nominal,-, and, to some extent. practical liberty, including suffrage and the vote by t'alio^. and''British power, jealous of popular sentiment, aiid'apprehen ing the purpose, of the people to throw off thu yoke by the ballot-.box, used its hired iiiynuidons, aud.,.rcso\ted to 'kindred' measures with those of.Wednesday last, to perpetuate its reign, while its civil officials stood tamely by* oitlidr to ignore or countenance" the outrage, or not .daring to interfere, can any

(hp olliepr,s .of the ierry-boat riot to. leave one question the result? None. Nor !„r wl'iether hebriifs the skill of

all its armed, its proudest, its mrnn instrument.-,, scourged from the land. "Under the shadow (j| our crlorious

matelj', effectively, overwhelmingly, against all the monstrous evil of the day, and all who arc officially,affiliated with it. All good citizens deluded by it will, in process of time, by its very enormity, be driven from the sphere of its pollution." _.

The better plan, it strikes us, would be for the people to hold a large mass meet-1 ing, and, by resolution, request the usurp-

It is a,sound rebuke to many who, by .their conduct, after obteining': allthc glorions rights of citiienahip, have joined with those opponents of the Democracy' who would make the Atlantic an "impassable gulf between freedom and despotism and it is an eloquent eulogy upon the Democratic principle, which has. so long been established, not only making our^ country the asylum for all of other nations,« whether of the oppressed or not, but invi-^ ting citizenship from all who chose ,to ex-* change a native home in the old world of tjTanny to one adoption in the new world'of liberty. The speaker said:

It is the policy cf the Democratic party., to invite emigration to our country. One? of the grievances set forth in our Deelara-. tion of Independence was that the King of. Great Britain had "obstructed the laws for the naturidization of foreigners, and refused to pass,others to^-encourage thoir nii-^ gration hither." *w

It is to the Democratic farty exclusively, that foreigners owe their rights under our laws, liver since the memorials struggle against the alien laws in tjbto timfe of Jefferso'li down to the present time, the Democratic party has been the true friend of the immigrant. No matter where lie may have happened to be born—in tho Green Isle of the Ocean, on the banks of the Rhine, 6r :in sunny France—no matter what his country or hfs creed, he has been welcomed to our shores and 'Cordially ad-..-, mitted to share in the rich blessin'gs which Providence has showered upon us. Every ship load of emigrants adds largely to the wealth of the nation. I do riot mean by the.mere amount of. gold which the emigrants may .have treasured up, with which to buy lands for himself and children.— But it brings that which is of far greater value. Labor is wealth. When the emigrant "brings here strong arms and a willing heart, he makes a valuable contribution to the nation's wealth. Whether, like Agassiz, he brings the rich tribute of genius and learning—or, like Roehling, the knowledge^ of engineering, which can suspend bridges in the air across vawninc fulfs—

When Morrissay and Heenan with their

Canada, about a dozen of the Canadian constabulary appeared near the ring with their neatly varnished bludgeons, and "in the name of the Queen," commanded the crop-eared, one-e\'ed, head-shaved crowd to disperse. This was regarded as a very good joke, and excited considerable mer-
