THE BANNER OF LIBERTY.

Among the few auxillcrics that the Disunion ticket of the South have enlisted to advocate their treasonable schemes, is a paper called the Banner of Liberty, published in the State of New York. This paper, we.bclieve, has obtained some little of a circulation in Indiana under the guise of being an advocate of Democratic principles. From a recent number now before us, we'see that it advocates the great cardinal principle of Black Republicanism and Southern Disunionism, which is intervention by Congress with the domestic affairs of the Territories. Like all traitors, Beebe, the editor, has received his price. The thirty pieces of silver has purchased him to preach treason to his patrons, and war upon the party that has fed and clothed him. From the feeling expressed here in Montgomery county he will find that his treachery will be promptly rebuked. No Democrat should tolerate him or his paper.

The

great Democratic State Mass Meeting at Indianapolis, cornea «f

LINCOLN STOCK DOWN. The nomination of Breckenridge & Lane have taken captive the Republicans of Crawfordsville. They no longer talk pleasantly of "Old Honesty," the rail splitter, but discourse eloquently on the merits of Breckenridge Lane. They argue tha* by voting for these nominees of the Yancey Convention, ihey can carry a number of the Southern States, which cannot be accomplished with "Old Honesty." That there is really no difference of principle between the Disunionists of the South and tfye Republicans of the North, that both have declared for Intervention in the Territories. With these arguments and mode of reasoning, we expect to see but little enthusiasm for the Chicago nominees this summer. Their first love has grown cold, and like tender, yielding maidens, they are led to follow the gallant, dashing Kentuckian, whose smile is far sweeter than the rude grin of an unsophisticated railsplitter. O, Republicanism thy name is

r»*Will the editor of the Journal support for the Vice Presidency, a man who has opposed through his whole life the Homestead Bill? Hannibal Hamlin, the candidate for Vice President on the Black Republican ticket, opposes a law to give land to the landless. He despises a poor man and would keep him in abject poverty. A greater insult was never offered the people of Indiana than to ask their suffrages for Hannibal Hamlin, an enemy of the laborer and mechanic. Can you with any consistency vote for such a man, Jerry?

K3~Evcry day we hear of accessions to the ranks of the Democracy. In Montgomery county alone over fifty voters have left the Republican party within the last month and declared themselves for Douglas and Johnson. The great principle which the Democracy advocates, of nonintervention, is the cause of .this stampc.de from the Republican camp.

Ifij^The heads of the Douglas officchold* ers are rapidly rolling into the basket.— But the fact that men prefer giving up their offices to their principles—prefer struggling with poverty to acting hypocritically and in violation of their honest convictions, is one of the roost checrful signs of the times, and shows that the Democratic party is not what its enemies charge that it is—an organization whose only only object is to get and hold office, regardless of principle.

OUR PRESIDENT A FLUNKEY.-—In another column it will be seen that James Buchanan is the first man in our country to seek the acquaintance of British royalty. He assures her most Gracious Majesty that her son the Prince, will be greeted by the American people in such a manner as cannot fail to prdve gratifying to all English snobdom. What an insult to the American people. The idea that sovereign citizens of the American Republic will ape the priest and king-ridden slaves of the old country, in huzzaing and rejoicing over the arrival of an English Prince.

I&*ln 1854, Beebe, the editor of the Banner of Liberty, made a political tour through a portion of Indiana, visiting our town among many others. Iiis appearance here, followed by a ridiculous and silly spccch, in which he undertook to prove that whiskey was the greatest blessing ever vouchsafed to man, resulted in a great measure- in defeating the Democracy at their fall election. His personal appearance indicate him as a man devoid of all principle and honor.

f&" The Boone County Pioneer has been purchased by the Republicans of Boone, to advocate the claims of the Brcckenridgc and Lane ticket. The chattle Buckingham, its editor, has been owned by Bright for the last two years. We think he has been well disposed of. The gallant Democracy of Boone are at present without any paper, but we presume they will have an organ in the course of a few weeks.

New York at present is offering to

the country the greatest attraction of the age, in the presence of the Great Eastern. At Crawfordsville, Gaskill & Co., are attracting everybody to their establishment by the exhibition of. their mammoth stock of boots, shoes, hats, caps and^ready-made clothing. For a complete adQt ihis is the place to go to. It is the place for the farmer, the mechanic, the laborer, and the professional man to seek whenever he wishes to purchase new garments at low prices.

19*Thc Disunion ticket has the endorsement of that old hoaryJieaded villain, James Buchanan. The 4th of March next will see the abdication of this traitor to his party, a man in whose veins there never coursed drop of Democratic .blood. His i^me will be recorded in the history of the traitors.

AMI

next Wed*

nesday, the 13th inst. Montgomery county will be present with a large force of her "sturdy Democracy. We hear from all parts of the county of preparations making to attend this jubilee of the party. Old men* whose heads are whitened with the frosts of sixty winters, and who fought under the lead of General Jackson, declare their determination to be there and participate in the glorious festivities. The enthusiasm for Douglas and Johnson knows no bounds in Old Montgomery.

Conciliation and compromise bar* always been die ruling characteristics of the Democratic party. A difference of opinion upon questions that arise during the progress of legislation, has ever been allowed. Indeed, the Democracy, to he consistent, could not do otherwise for to them the enslavement of the mind has ever been a detestable thing, and so class has shown itself so ready at all times to rebuke this unholy spirit as the Democracy.

Likewise, it has been a cardinal doctrine in the Democ/atic creed, that all Democrats should abide the usages of the party, pay due observance to its principles, and support its regular nominees. And that those who failed so to do, thereby severed the tie of allegiance that bound them to the party and consequently, were no longer to be considered as within its pale.— That thus they became disorganizes, disrnptionists, and were to be treated in all respects as enemies, nay worse, as traitors. Traitors to their obligations, traitors to their principles, traitors to their friends, traitors to their country, traitors to every thing that is manly, patriotic, noble.

The history of our party has exemplified this proposition. And to one historical fact, we would call the attention of those professed persons who refuse to support Douglas, yet claim to favor this principle. When Van Buren, (and may his memory be forever exccrated for it,) in 1848, because of a personal antipathy, refused to support that old hero, General Cass, and ran on a secession ticket to insure his defeat, the Democracy of the country, almost to a man, damned him for it. And to-day the name of Martin Van Buren is a stench in the nostrils of every consistent Democrat. In that evil hour his star began to wane, and at this time, not one cag be found so poor to do him reverence. All attributable to his refusal to abide the usages of the organization.

In the old Whig party a similar fact was demonstrated. In 1840, Tyler was elected Vice President of the United States. He forsook the Democratic party, and traitor as he was and is, joined the Whigs.— He professed faith in their creed was forgiveu his past sins, was baptized in the faith, and bccamc one of the elect. No sooner had the reins of government fallen into his hands than he wheeled around, kicked over the hard-cider platform, and demon-like began to drive his car headlong over the bank, tariff, and the rest of the political hobbies of the day. Who can tell the amount of enrsing he received?— How long was it before his friends deserted him, and he was unceremoniously kicked overboard? And yet he was less guilty than Van Buren. Because he had always favored the Democratic creed respecting banks, tariffs, &c., and the Whigs foolishly allowed the old reprobate, on the ground of expediency, to gull them. They set the trap for a Tyler but caught a Tartar. Who, to-day, has a word of praise or commendation for Tyler?

Just so with respect to Mr. Buchanan.— The same principle applicable to others is equally applicable to him. He was elected upon the principle of non-intervention. That he correctly understood that principle his letter of acceptance clearly shows. And yet he refuses to support the regular nominees of the party to support him who could have secured a nomination over his head in 1856 to support him who was nominated by the same process that he was to support him who received a larger vote, before the two-thirds was had, than he himself did in 1856 to support him who stands upon the identical platform that he was elected upon in 1856 to support him who magnanimously declined the nomination in his favor in 1856 who spent his time, his money, bis talents, his all, to secure his election to support him who has ever been his truest, his best friend. And for what The same flimsy pretext that Van Buren had in '48. Because Douglas could not see through the same spectacles he looked through, war must be made upon him, even to the total disruption of the confederacy. Is this manly? Is this patriotic? Is this Democracy? Is it anything but mean, low, contemptible, pusillanimous meanness? And for so misconducting, ought Mr. Buchanan to be considered a Democrat, and the party compelled to carrv the odium of his administration Or rather, ought not the rule to be applied, and he and his disunion faction even compelled either to repent in sackcloth and ashes, or to go upon their bellies and eat dirt the rest of their days.

POPULATION OF PENNSYLVANIA.—The Philadelphia Bulletin computes the present population of Pennsylvania at 3,100,000, and this estimate is made on the supposition that the per centagc of increase since 1850 will be the same 34 per cent, as it was the ten years from 1840 to 1850. The rapid advance of the country is strikingly shown in this. Here we have a single State of the confederacy of thirtythree which is in population as large as that of the Roman States before the recent troubles. It is nearly equal to that of Portugal or Holland, and larger than that of cither of the kingdoms of Denmark, Saxonj, Hanover or Wurtemburg. By die year 1870, if. Pennsylvania progressed as she has done, her population will considerably exceed four millions.

19" Abner V. Austin is the only Breckinridge & Lane roan in town. He voted against the Democratic ticket in Illinois in 1858.

WTMontgomery county will givo Douglas and Johnson two hundred majority.

-. TAT Team A* WO: Bright sad Fitch hare issued a can for a State Mass meeting of aU those opposed to the Democracy. Of coarse the Black Republicans will feel themselves in duty bound to render all aid and comfort possible to their allies. We hear of quite a number in Crawfordsville who intend going over to t^e capitol to participate in the proceedings. These Abolitionists are delighted with this movement of Bright and Fitch. They declare themselves ready to donate liberally for carrying out the programme. We are informed by reliable authority, that a leading Black Republican in town has in his possession a letter from Bright, in which he proposes to give the State to Lincoln. Like the traitor Arnold, he is negotiating with the enemy to surrender the Democracy of Indiana into their power. Let the Democracy at Montgomery be warned in time. We tell them that the leaders of the disunion faction are in open league with the Abolitionists of the State. A Breckinridge and Lane electoral ticket is to be put in the field with the avowed intention of giving the State to Lincoln.

I^Whenever you hear a man professing to be a Democrat, and at the same time avowing himself in favor of the Southern Disunion ticket, place him in the same category that our Revolutionary sires did the tories of that day. A Breckenridge disunionist and a Lincoln Republican arc synonymous. They both seek the destruction of the Democratic party and the dissolution of the Union.

19*The Louisville Journal, the leading Bell and Everett organ of Kentucky, appeals to the friends of the Union and the Constitution in the North, of whatever party affiliations, to see that Lincoln does not get one hundred and fifty-two electoral votc9. He says the great issue of the contest is with them, and that he looks to the action of his Northern friends, in relation to this question of deep moment, "with profound and all but trembling solicitude."

9ST What has become of the report of the celebrated "Covodc Committee," of which we heard so much'in the Republican papers a short time ago The document we believe, has been published in all its length and breadth, but the Republican organs are as silent as the grave on the subject. Why don't they open their mouths? Why don't they publish extracts from it Are they afraid that by doing so .they will hurt the feelings of their allies, who arc implicated in it

£6T"Tlie Board of Trustees have constructed an enclosure on the north-east corner of the Court House square, for the better protection of tb.c hooks, and ladders which are to be placed on a wagon, which in case of fires will render them more accessible than heretofore. We suggest to the Board that they'purchase a hundred leather fire-buckets.

GOING TO THE UBILEE.— Among the many old veterans who intend going to Indianapolis on next Wednesday is Joel Lee. Joel has fought through every campaign commencing with General ackson in 1824. He declares himself entered for the war.

THINK OF THIS DEMOCRATS

The position taken by the Black Republicans of the North and the Breckinridge Disunionists of the South is precisely the same as that of King George in 1764. He denied the rights of the colonies to regulate their domestic affairs in their own way. The Democracy are fighting for the same great principles that our forefathers contended for in the Revolution.

J®* The editor of the Journal is agonized over the prospect of Ilersrhel V. Johnson being the next "V ice President of the United States. The charge of his having said that the laboring men of our country are unfit for freedom," is simply a malicious lie invented by Redpath, a vagabond Englishman.

t&'K large number of the Democracy in this county are extremely indignant ct the course pursued by the Banner of Liberty. Some pronouncc it worse than the blackest Republican paper in the country.

CARD—NO SYMPATHY FOB BOLTERS. INDIANAPOLIS, July 10. Editor Daily Sentinel: A friend of mine has shown me a printed ciroular purporting to emanate from the friends of Messrs. Breckinridge and Lane, calling on National Democrats to meet at the Courthouse, on July 14,1860, for the purpose of organizing the party, among the signatures which I found my name.

I have been for Douglas from the beginning—am now and intend, to the best of my abilities, to labor for the election of Stephen A. Douglas to the highest office in the gift of the American people. I recognize in Judge Douglas the able, fearless and .true exponent of what I have been taught to believe are Democratic principles.

It is needless to say that I never signed or authorized any one to sign the call for ne.

My watchword in the coming contest is 'Douglas and Johnson." Truly Yours, JOHN CAHILL, 232 East Washington-street.

A

CARD FROM DR. J. W. RIIOADS. INDIANAPOLIS, July 10. Editor Daily Sentinel: I find my name attached to a call for a Bolting Convention of the friends of Breckinridge and Lane, to be held on Saturday next. I never signed such a call, do not approve of it, but, on the contrary, intend to vote for the regular nominees Douglas and Johnson.— I do not attach any blame, however, to my personal friends, Judgo Morrison, Dr. Dunlap, John M. Talbot, John R. Elder and others, or question their disinterested patriotism. J. W. RHOADS, M. D.

There is no doubt that a large proportion of the names are either fraudulent altogether, or were obtained by false representations, the signers being ignorant of its real purport. Outside of the officeholders and their dependents in Indianapolis, there is scarcely a Danite in the city. We have no doubt the whole BRECKINRIDGE party in Indianapolis could meet in a small eight-by ten room.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

VROlfl WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, July 10.

To the Editors of the Enquirer The dog-days arc upon us with all their sultry force, and every one is obliged to yield to their influence. As I write the mercury marks 95, and the perspiration drips upon the paper:-

The Breckinridge people managed, by considerable drumming, to get together a tolerable fair crowd at their ratification last night, but a large portion were attracted by curiosity, and by their desire to hear the music of the Marine Band. There was no enthusiasm, and"the speeches were tolerably received.

The oration of the Hon. D. W. oorhees delivered before the literary societies of the University of Virginia on the 4th, gave the most unbounded satisfaction. It was listened to by an immense audience, that repeatedly cheered him through its delivery. It is the opinion of everybody with whom I have conversed that no public effort was ever received here with the same enthusiastic admiration. He was serenaded at the Farish House after the oration. By the way, Voorhees will soon take the stump for Douglas in Indiana.

The Constitution having passed entirely under the control of Brown, is playing an extraordinary game of brag. If you are to believe it, Douglas has not a solitary adherent South, whereas the most reliable accounts received from that section go to show that he is gaining strength daily, as becomes apparent that cither he or Lincoln must be chosen. It is folly to suppose that the Southern people propose to cut off their noses to spite their faces. As an evidence of Southern feeling, read the following among the resolutions adopted at the Baltimore Democratic ratification meeting last night, in which the first Democrats of Maryland participated

Resolved, That the principle of Congressional intervention for the protectiou of slavery in the Territories, which was the pretext of the first secession at Charleston and which is now incorporated in the platform of the Baltimore, secedcrs, is an idle and mischievous abstraction, for the following reasons 1. Because the most visionary Southern man cannot believe that Congress will, in any contingency, afford such Legislative protection while the introduction of any measure of legislative protection under the auspices of a party which had heretofore, in two national platforms, pledged itself against all attcmpti at renewing the slavery agitation, in or out of Congress, in whatever form or color it might be attempted, would more fiercely and fatally than ever reopen this dangerous agitation of slavery in Congress. 2. Because the sectionalists of the North and South both agree in maintaing the power and duty of Congress to intervene in regard to Territorial slavery, and these sectional parties merely differ as to the objects to which the exercise of the power ahould be directed, while the non-interven-tion principles of the National Democracy equally deny to the Pro-slavery agitators of the South as to the Abolitionists of the North, all right to open this unholy and dangerous agitation in the halls of Congress, by making it a banned and interdicted subject of legislation, because of its sectional tendencies. 3. Congressional intervention for the protection of slavery will never be required, except in territories where a majority of the people are hostile to slavery, and it is plain that among such a people no act of Congress protecting and guarding slavery could be executed through the medium of fanatical juries, and it would therefore, if passed through, create scenes of sectional agitation and strife, and be a dead letter on the statute-book. 4. Because no slaveholder could be tempted to carry his slaves into a hostile Territory, even if he were backed by all the national legislation he would desire, and if he was assured that this protective legislation oould be enforced by the Territorial juries, he wonld still decline the

riak of having his alavts stata ftom Um by the AboESon majority the. Terrik*. ial population, even npoir.the goarrantat of legal indemnity in the Coarts. 5. Because, whether the powertopTotect Territorial slavery is vested Congress or not, we believe its exercise to be idle, useless and mischievous,'-since all experience has attested the fact that the continuance of slavery on any soil, or among any people, is regulated by climate and nature, and not by the ordinances or contrivances of roan.

That popular sovereignty, or squatter sovereignty, as called, does not mean anything more than the reference of the whole slavery question to the people of the territories, by the adoption of the- policy or principle of Congressional nonintervention, and we regard the power of Territorial legislation over the subject of slavery to be as purely an abstraction, as the other question of Congressional power over the slave question has been shown to bo, because the non-protection of slavery in the Territories, by suitable legal provisions and penal safeguards, would as effectually drive slavery out of any hostile Territogy, as if the local Legislature had exercised a constitutional power in vanishing or excluding it.

That Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, in our deliberate opinion, is the regular nominee of the Democratic party of the Union, he having, according to' the exact requirements of the two-third rule, as worded, and as in force in all preceding National Conventions, received more than two-thirds of all the votes given in the Convention and we confidently assert that two-thirds of all the delegates elected to the Convention were present, and assenting to his nomination at the passage of the resolution finally declaring him the nominee, and to which there was no dissenting voice. But independently of these facts, we consider that no true Democrat would secedc from a National Convention, arffi attempt by factious and hostile proceedings to destroy the party which, as one of a minority, he could not intimidate or control.

This breathes the right spirit. I hear that Breckinridge bolters in Baltimore undertook to get up a new City Convention, in opposition to the regular one, which is for Douglas but after considerable caueassing, their courage oozed out at their finger ends, and they finally resolved to go back to the Convention from which they had seceded.

The Disunionists are trying hard to induce the Bell and Everett men in Georgia and Alabama to. join them, but they find no Qonsolation in these quarters. The fact is, Old Whig stock is greatly on the rise in all the Southern States, and if I was to judge by their boasting, neither Douglas nor Brcckinridge would carry a single State. Their leaders arc really sanguine of success, and profess the kindliest feelings for Douglas and Johnson, much preferring them over Brcckinridge and Lane, whom they style Disuuionists.

The most cheering news comes daily from New England and New ^ork. Lincoln's nomination has fallen flat. No enthusiasm can be got up in his behalf. 1 lie best informed politicians in New York say that Douglas will carry that State by over forty thousand.

You may rely upon the fact that the pccple of the whole country have taken the making of the next President into their own hands, and arc now rallying around the name of Douglas with an enthusiasm that makes the old Balshazzar of the White House turn pale with fear at the coming storm of popular indignation. No such election as the one approaching has ever been held in the Union, and no such revolution .in public sentiment was ever witnessed since the days of Andrew Jackn.

The pluck of the Northern delegates, in resisting the power of the Administration and the threats of fire-eaters and Disunionists at Charleston and Baltimore, together with the bold and fearless manner in which Douglas has borne himselt, has brought tens of thousands to his standard.

The American people love and admire a brave and true man. They also naturally hate tyrants and persecutors. Old Buck's hatred and persecution of the Little Giant have created the most intense feelin^ for him throughout the entire coun­

try.

PBINCE-OF WAM'.-IHU. .WASHINGTON, July 12. The following is the correspondence between the President and Queen Victoria, relative to the visit of the Prince of Wales

To her Majesty, Queen Victoria:—I have learned from the public journals that the Prince of Wales is about to visit your Majesty's North American dominions.— Should it be the intention of his Royal Highness to extend his visit to the Unnvu States, I need not say how happy I would be to give him a cordi-1 welcome to Washington. You may be assured that everywhere in this country he will be greeted by the American people in such a manner as cannot fail to prove gratifying to your Majesty. In this they will manifest their deep sense of your domestic virtues as as well as their conviction of your merits as a wise, patriotic, and constitutional sovereign.

Buck, of Driesback City, six miles north of La Cross, sends the following account of the discovery of large human skeletons to the Winona Republican:

A. L. Jcnks of this place, in prospecting in one of those mounds that are so common in this Western country, discovercd at the depth of five or six feet, the remains of seven or eight people of very large size. One thigh bone measured three feet in length. The under jaw was an inch wider than that of any other man in this city. He also found clam shells, pieces of ivory or bone, rings, pieces of kettles made of earth and corse sand.—There were at the ncck of one of these skeletons teeth two inches in length by one-half to three-fourths of aa inch in diameter, holes drilled into the sides, and tbc end polished, with a crease around it. Also an arrow, five inches long, by one and a half wide, stuck through the backbone and one about eight inches long, stuck into the left breast. Also the blade of a copper hatchet, 1^ inchcs wide at the edgo and two inches long. This hatchet was found stuck in the skull of the same skeleton. The mound is some two hundred faet above the surface of the Mississippi, and is composed of clay immediately above tho remains, two feet thick then comes a layer of black loam then another layer of way six inches thick, all so closely packed that it was with difficulty that it could be penetrated. There are some four or five different layers of earth above the remainsThere is no such elay found elsewhere in this vieinitf.
