THE ISSUE*.

Let Congress intervene to protect Slavery in the Territories.—BRECKINRIDGE.

Let Congress intervene to prevent Slaver/ in the Territories.—LINCOLN.

Let the People of the Teroitories deterin me the (/nestion.—DOUGLAS. Wo call attention to the above concentrated essence of the three platforms before the country. The tiro sectional ones both urge intervention by Congress, while the true National anil Union Faith, with Douglas as exponent, says: Leave the rjtiestin to the People.

Douglas men! pin this to the Oppositionists of either faction and see them twist, but they cannot getaway. Either is as bad as the other, bccause both seekto rob the people of their right to GOVERN*.

XKGKO EQUALITY KOCTKIM:. "All 1 ask for the Negro, is, that if you do not like him, let him alone. If God gave him but little, thnt little let him enjoy."—Lincoln.

Let us discard all the quibbling about this man and the other uian—this race and that race and the other race being inferior, nn 1 t'.icrcfore they must be placed in an inferior position—discarding our standard that we have left us. Let us discard all these things and unite as ono people throughout this land—until we shall once more stand up declaring that all men are created free and equal."—Lincoln.

Caravan

for the Great

Mass Meeting at the Capitol will leave here on Thursday morning the 27th, at 7 o'clock.

START EARIiV.

Democrats living in Cole, Wayne, and Ripley township will arrive here on Wednesday evening, so cs to start with the Union delegation o.. Thursday morning at 7 o'cicck. The Demon r.ts of Crawfordsville will t?k2 pleasure in providing for those from the »brve townships. Let every one come. The latch-string will be found hanging out.

TIIK PRINCE OF WALES. We see by the papers that the Prince of Wales will be at Indianapolis ou next Friday. We fear his highness will have his nerves somewhat disturbed on that day by the thousands of Democrats that will be congregated there. Eighty-four years ago, George III., the great-grandfather of this young scion of royalty, attempted to crush the liberties of the American people, by denying them the right to regulate their domestic affairs in their own way on next Friday, the grandchild of this Intervention King, will behold one hundred thousand white freemen assembled in council to maintain the great principle our revolutionary sires struggled for in 1676.

co.\n jiPi.Aiiii»TKATD AT THE POLLS. We have every, assurance that certain leading Republicans in this county, design perpetrating frauds upon the ballot box at ihc coming election. The better to cover up their nefarious designs, they have commenced their usual trick of crying stop thief," by charging that the Democracy of this county are engaged in importing votes. For the last six years this lying charge has been made regularly on the day of election. Knowing that they were in the minority, they have persistently endeavored to manufacture sympathy by slandering bct'er men than themselves. The stale howl of importation" won't win this time. If any fraud is attempted on the day of -•lection, it will be by such Republicans as ^chiller, of Fountain county notoriety, whose guilt and the complicity of leading Republicans of that county, was clearly iroven in a trial, had in the Circuit Court of that county. All the ballot-box stufling ami importation of voters carried on in his State for the 'ast six years, has been donely the Republican party. Wo warn in lX'DH'cniey to be on the alert. Let men be stationed at the polls, with the names of every legal voter in their township, entered on list prepared for the occasion. Here in Union, the name of every

Republican voter has already been taken, and their exact strength is known to a vote. The sharpc practice intended to be carried out by them is well known, and we now tell them in advance that their contemplated frauds will be resisted to the leath. The purity of the ballot-box must md shall be preserved, and the cunning use of crying stop thief," will not suf!ee to avert the Argus eyes of freemen, jealous of their rights, from the deep laid risaulity of the Republican leaders in this county.

B6F" The Black Republicans crv out vociferously that they arc in favor uf Free Labor." Oh, yes, they want the lour million negro slaves of the South liberated in order that they may be turned into free" laborers to come here to Indiana, to Illinois, to Ohio, and elsewhere, where they will eompete with and probably drive away the free white laborers, or else reduce wages to the starving point. After this shall be done, then the Republicans will be ready to convert these free" negro laborers into good Republican voters, :is they have done in Massachusetts. Such what scores uf the leaders of the Black Itepubliean party have undoubtedly set :heir hearts upon doing and strange as it ma)* appear, they expect to cajole the vhitc laborers of the North into helping them do it.

THE'PRINCE OF WALI:. GIIOWING MOKE DEMOCRATIC.—We sec by the last telegraphic dispatch, the astounding intelligence, that the Prince of Wales has grown more democratic, that he now condescends to give his arm to his partner at balls, and escorts her around the room. This gracious act of condescension on the part of the Princc, will be a rouree of exquisite dolight to all flunkydom in the United States.

For the Review.

MR. EDITOR:—In the last weeks issue of the Journal, I find an article on the State debt, copied from the Madison Courier, which for ignorance and falsehood, is certainly the master essay of Republicans upon State policy, and I think the Journal is putting the gullibility of its readers to a severe test in copying the article. The writer in making up the amount of the State debt adds in $8,850,000 of outstanding bonds to the amount of certificates of stock already issued. The State under the act of 1847, only agreed to pay one half of the debt, and the bond-hold-ers were to take the canal for the other half. If as the writer intimates, we take up these bonds at their face, will we not according to that precedent, have to tako back the canal and make good these certificates of stock, so as to make no distinction among our creditors. The people are not prepared for such an arrangement, nor will we trust such blundering politicians to manage the affairs. lie next alludes to the management of the office of agent of State, and says of Mr. Stover, the taxpayers kuotv but little." That is, the editor was not acquainted with him, and he should have been consulted about it. It is ccrtain that an acquaintance of Mr. Stover with the editor could never have increased his knowledge of State affairs.— During a part of the time, it is indispensiblc that there should be two persons in the office, for that reason Mr. Stover has a clerk employed, a gentleman who has been iu the office for a long time, and enjoys the entire confidence of the business men with whom lie has been associated, and so far from there being any liability of his over issuing stock, he is not authorized to issue any at all. Had the Editor turned to page 35 of the laws of Indiana for 1859, he would have found that all certificates of stock, have to be sent to the Auditor of State, and transfered on the books in his office, aud then sent to the agent of State to be handed to the owner, and that all certificates not thus transfered, are deemed fraudulent and void, as against the State. And from the time the office was established all certificates were numbered, and signed by the Auditor of State, so that there could not be an over issue that would not be readily detected. Besides the books arc always open for inspection, and and the stockholders are deeply interested in seeing there are no frauds committed, because any suspicion of the kind would reduce the value of the stock, and the high standing of our stock in market is proof that they entertain no fears of that kind. The editor next shows that the interest has continued to increase every year —that is bccause we pay no interest on the old internal improvement bonds, but when they are surrendered and new certificates issued for them—as is being done every year—then we pay five per cent interest for half the amount of the bond, and two a"d one half per cent for half the interest that has accrued. By in tin State Sentinel, made by a gentleman iu the Auditor's office, there has been issued of five per cent stock $5,32'2,000 and of the 2-J- per cent $2,054,298 50 the interest of which will be §317,457 45 and any over issue would at once be detected by the amouut of interest paid.— The next item was that the committee of ways and means, reported that the books in the State offices were unreliable, aud that there was no way of ascertaining the amount of State Indebtedness. Now I have examined the reports of that committee, and find no such statement. But the Legislature, in order to satisfy the taxpayers that all was right in the office, and examine it thoroughly, commissioned Mr. Reas to make the investigation, and report to the Legislature. Mr. Reas has not yet finished the examination, and has made no report.

Considering the want of facts and sound argument in the article, we must take it as a miserable clap trap to mislead the publie until the election is over. II.

S&* The Black Republican mass meeting at Meharry's grove, last week, was a contemptible fizzle. There was not over six hundred persons present at any one time. The only speaker present, of note, was Bill Broomley. Iu the absence of Col. Lane, Bill told dotes.

We believe, as do you, that in 17.76 "all men were created free and equal endowed with ccrtain inalienable rights "They meant just what they said, and they repeatedly spoke of negroes as men

DOUGLAS ON A NIGHT TRAIN.—It seems the people set up uights to see Douglas as he travels through New lork. A lady arrived in Cleveland last right who happened to be in the same train with Douglas, which reached Elmira at four in the morning. "All night long," says the lady, "wherever the train stopped, there were crowds to

meet

him, with bands, ban

ners, big guns, &c." sa'd "the sleeping cars were of no use on that train."— Cleveland Plain Dealer. a'

MORE ACCESSIONS.—The late speeches of Senator Seward in Michigan seem to have had a disorganizing effect on the Republican ranks. Among the many changes of faith which have occurred lately we notice that, at the formation of a Little Giant Club a few days ago at Lexington, Michigan, fifteen signed the constitution who hnd heretofore voted the Republican ticket.

RECOVER of TWE.VT V-FI Vli MOKE BODIES—TOUCHIIVC Stl'.VEHin THE CHICAGO CE.TIETR V.

The Chicago Pr ss and Tribune of Monday furnishes the following additional particulars relative to the recent catastrophe on Lake Michigan

The search for bodies of victims of the Lady Elgin calamity was prosecuted with vigor and success on Saturday. The steamtug McQueen left at five o'clock A. M. for a cruise along shore, and returned about seven P. M. with twenty bodies the number was increased by four others washed ashore at different points.

The search was to be continued on Sunday, which being the ninth day, would bring most of the yet unrccovercd bodies to the surface. A special train on Sunday over the Milwaukie road, will bear to that city those of the dead there belonging.

Up to this point but one of the Lumsden family has been found, and none of the Garth family, nor the sou of Hon. Mr. Ingram, nor that of the lamented Mr. I Ha!!, of Aurora, and the zealous search by nds of these and others, in private behalf, is doing much to give completeness 10 operations.

As was necessary and proper from the state of the bodies recovered, the scene of the laborers of the coroner's jury was on Saturday transferred to the City Cemetery, the inquest being held in the building erected by the county for post-mortem examinations, and such uses as of Saturday.

The twenty bodies brought by the McQueen readied the cemetry just at dark, and were laid iu a tr'nastiy row on the turf.

Large fires were kindled, and by the light of those, the many friends in waiting, prised of it did not molest him ciiieily from .Milwaukie, eagerly sought dians loaded

While the monarchs of Europe are

•ranT nNBTARI BDBAS. Capture of Gen. Walker by the British —His Delivery to the Honduras Authorites—Walker to be Shot.

NEWORLEANS, Monday, Sept. 17. The Spanish war-steamer Francisco Deisios arrived at Havana, from Truxillo,. on the 7th inst., ahd reports that the Britishsteamer Icarus, with a transport and troops under Gen. Alvaret, proceeded to the Rio Negro, where Walker's army was encamped. The boats of the Icarus proceeded up the river and captured Walker, who, with his seventy men, were all brought to Truxillo and delivered to the Honduras authorities. Walker's men were very destitute, and many were sick. They were permitted to return to the United States, upon condition that they would never engage in another expedition against Central America.

Walker and Col. Rudler were to be shot: The Guatemala expedition arrived after the capture of the expedition.

TERRIBLE STORM IN* THE GULF. NEW ORLEANS, Monday, Sep. 17. A furious gale on Saturday, causcd great destruction to property. Nearly every house at Balize was carried sway, aud several lives were lost, including Captain Kinney, a pilot. The steamer Galveston, ships Galena and Sheffield, brig West Indian, and schooner Toucey, bound out, were all blown ashore at the Passes. Several tow-boats were lying high and dry.

Milneburg, the terminus of the Pontchartrain Railroad, was submerged, and the wharves damaged. It is reported that all the wharves and bath houses on the lake-shore between New Orleaus and Mobile are swept away. The town of Biloxi Miss., is in ruins.

At Mobile the storm was severely felt. All the wharves in the lower portion of the city were submerged. During the gale Messrs. Pomeroy and Marshal's lime wharchouse was burned. Several steamboats were blown ashore. The brig Leghorn, from Mobile to Pcnsacola, also washed ashore.

It is estimated that the total loss by fire and storm will exceed $500,000. LATER FROM SANTA FE.

INDEPENDENCE, Monday, Sep. 17. The New Mexican Mail, with dates to the 3d inst., arrived to-night.

A convention of the people of New Mexico met at Santa Fc on the 27th ult. for the purpose of making arrangements lor the protection of their lives and property from the ravages of the Navajoes and other Indians. The}' resolved to raise one thousand volunteers, and asked the Governor to receive them, but lie refused. They then passed resolutions that owing to private quarrels between the officers of the regular army no dependence could be placed in them, and that the regular troops iu the Territory are not sufficient for its protection. They determined to take their defense into their own hands, and a call for one hundred mounted men from each county was made.

Manuel Cbavis was appointed'Colonel of the regiment, and it is expected to open the campaign on the 20th inst.

Colonel Fauntleroy has ordered a campaign against the Indians, to move in three separate columns, on the 1st of October.

On the 8th instant a baud of Kiowas, numbering eleven went to Allison's ranchc on Cow Creek and agreed with Mr. Peacock, the proprietor, to come the next day and go to Pawnee Fork and make a treaty with the U. S. officers. True to their promise, they came and induced Mr. Peacock to go out and look through a spy-glass at, as they represented, a company of soldiers at a distance. While Mr. Peacock was in the act of looking they shot him through the head, also through the body, killing him instantly. They then shot Mr. Wagers, his clerk, but did not kill him at once. He retreated to a room where there was a sick man, and warned him of what was going on.- lie then sank down and expired. The sick man was armed with two revolvers, when the Indians being ap-

May it not recur ottencr.

And over and above all shot out upon the northern sky the weird flashes of those mysterious lights, never to us more impressive than when they streamed out above the scene referred to, lending at times, a pale reflection to the lake, whose waters, scarce stirred into waves, seemed never to have been swept more rudely than by the night-bird's wings, and yet the cause and source of all this misery, and still appealed to by so many of that still unsatisfied throng to give back their dead. Never have the ties of love and kinship been more strikingly attested than by the patient waiting throng from our sister city, who, throughout last week, hung eager and anxious about the deadroom.

The Pony Express, with California dates to the Gib insl., arrived last night. The Pony Express with St. Louis dates to the 21st ult., arrived at San Francisco on the 3d inst.

The Douglas and Bell and Everett State Conventions, each meet at San Francisco to-day. Efforts arc making for a fusion ticket, giving each party two electors, after the plan of the fusion in New York.— The principal counties in the Stato have nominated candidates for the Legislature. All the Douglas candidates are pledged to oppose the re-election of Senator Gwiu.— The Breckinridge candidates arc uninstructcd.

Overland emigrants continue to arrive in considerable numbers by the various routes.

A rich quartz had been struck in Tuolumne County, and upward of $60,000 taken out in five days.

The Broderick will case was before the Probate Court. Martin McDonncl, formerly Deputy Sheriff of New York, was sworn as a witness for the contestants. He impeached the reputation for truth and veracity of A. A. Phillips one of the attesting witnesses. He swore that Lis reputation was bad, that he would not believe him under oath, and that Phillips was a notorious Tombs lounger.

Advices from Ilong Kong to July 24, state that tbe allied expedition remained at the mouth of^the Peiho.

The squadron numbered one hundred and fifty sail. The troops were encamped on shore. The natives were friendly and the climate healthy.

POLITICAL NEWS.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Sep. 17. An immense Democratic mass meeting was held last evening for the

support

the Gubernatorial candidates, without regard to party differences. Independence Square was

crowded. President

made a lengthy

Fraley

speech,

in which he favor

ed the doctrinc of popular sovereignty in mild

language.

His arguments were ap

plauded. Amopg the resolutions adopted was ono declaring that, the election of the eaodi.

date of the Republican parly to tbe deiey would be dangerous to the wfcofa' country, and the elevation of its for Governor would tend to produce like results, and every honorable means in their power should be adopted to prevent the consuraation of such an event.

General Foster, the candidate for Governor, was received with loud and prolonged^ cheering. He made a lengthy speech, chiefly for the purpose of uniting the different party elements against the Republicans. He made many complimentary remarks to the Union party, which were loudly cheered.

JACKSON, Mich., Monday, Sep. 17. JNOVD. Conely was to-day nominated for Congress by the Breckinridge Democrats of the First District.

DO THE REPUBLICANS INDOMB THIS DOCTRINE? One of the ablest and most patriotio statesmen cnnounced the following doctrine in one of bis speeches:

It is well known that the subject of slavery interposed one of tbe greatest difficulties in the formation of the Constitution sIt was happily compromised and adjusted in a spirit of harmony and patriotism. According to that compromise, .NO POWER WHATEVER was granted to the General Government in regard to domestic slavery BUT THAT WJIICII RELATES TO TAXATION AND REPRESENTATION, and the power to restore fugitive slaves to their lawful owners.

Do the Republicans luaorso this doctrine They profess to stand by the sentiments of IIENRY CLAY upon the slavery issue. "Will they adopt his views in tbe cxtract quoted If not, they should no longer profess to walk in his footsteps.

I®* Mr. James Brooks of New York, who has been making spcechcs in Maine against Abolitionism, has written a letter to the President, of which the following is a portion.

Maine votes for Abolitionism Monday next, the 10th, and you are responsible for it. The same Northern Revolution that rescued Rhode Island, and almost rescued Connecticut, was rescuing the ship building, freighting, manufacturing, trading State of Maine, and you have put a stop to it. The hosts of your office holders, that line, for hundreds of miles. Maine's indented sea cost, and the hosts of Postmasters that dot everjt village of the interior, trembling in fear of removal from you, have not, with few exceptions, dared to speak, or act with any efficiency, even in a mere State election! Hcncc, a hcroie army of rank and file, going to battle without their customary Generals, will bo routed by the well drilled enemy. Upon you, is all the responsibility.

DEATH OF AN EMINENT SURGEON IN THE ARMY.—Mr. Bernard M. Byrne, a surgeon iu the United States army, died at Fort Moultrie, S. C., ou the Gth instant, of typhoid fever, in the 48th j*enr of his age. The deceased was a native of Ireland, but while quite young emigrated with his parents to Baltimore, and graduated at the University of Maryland. Subsequently he was engaged as prosecutor to the profcr sor of anatomy in the Washington College in this eilv. and afterwards, about 1836, entered the medical slafi" of the army, serving with great credit through the Florida and Mexican wars. At Palo Alto, Reseea de la Palma, Monterey, Saltillo and Bucna Vista, he took an honorable part in the thickest of the contest. Ho was by the side of the gallant Ringgold, and bore that officer off when he fell mortally wounded. Dr. Byrne's name will be found with honorable mention in several dispatches and reports from General Taylor, General Wool, and other offieers who have commanded divisions to which ho was attached. After the war he served as medical director general on the Pacific coast. At the time of his death ho was on duty at Fort Moultrie. He was an accomplished writer, and his treaties on cholcra has been officially approved by the government and is now used as a text book in the medical department of the British army. He married the daughter of Colonel Abert, chief of topographical engineers, Washington, and leaves a widow and three children.

DEATH OF A DEMPERADO. Colonel IIenry, who recently died at Truxillo, from a wound received in a personal difficulty with one of Walker's men, is the same person who was so well known in this city for his conibativcness. Ho was a man of remarkable courage, but of a violent and turbulent temper, and was frequently involved in personal broils and duel.". Perhaps no man ever lived to his age who had received and survived so many dangerous wounds. In every battlo aud in nearly every duel in which he was engaged, he was wounded. He began his career in the ranks of the American army in Mexico, and by his daring and dangerous wounds, attracted the attention of his commanders, and was selected as one of the privates, who were promoted during the war to a commission. At the battlo of Chepultepec, Henry was one of the first of the Btorming party to scale the walls of the enemy, and, though dreadfully wounded, never halted until he was within the fort.

After the war wa3 over, Henry, a commissioned officer, became involved in some broil which resulted in his retirement from hi.s position. Ho then went to Nicaragua, joined Walker, and was prominent in all combats fought in the country, and invariably received wounds in every action. As if the terrible and uninterrupted conflicts of Walker were not enough to satisfy his combative spirit, Henry occupied his moments of leisure in personal combats with some of his own companions in arms, and was frequently wounded. In one of his duels in Nicaragua his thigh was broken, which lamed him for life.

Returning to this city after the expulsion of Walker, he became involved in a broil with one of his companions, and was badly wounded by him in a duel fought in the rear of the city. Not long after bo had another difficulty with a gentleman of this city, by whom aUo ho was severely wounded. These are by no means all the combats in which this remarkable man was engaged. There were those who had a favorable opinion of Colonel Henry, and who gave him credit for some good qualities. He was undoubtedly a man of actonishing fortitude, endurance, and cour« •. age.—N. O. True Delia.
