CRAWFORDSVJLLE, INDIANA.

Thursday morning, Feb. 9, 1854.

10sVVM. P. RAMEY, is an authorized Agent for the MONTGOMERY JOURNAL. He will take subscriptions, receive money, and give receipts.

To Oar Delinquent Subscribers. There are eome twelve or fifteen hundred dollars of old accounts on the Journal Books ol which we stand greatly in need. We have given many gentle hints, which we hoped would have the desired effect, but in. this we have been disappointed. Necessity now compels us to resort to other and more stringent means.— The money we want and must have. These accounts will be open for settlement until Saturday the 11th day of March next. Those not settled at that time will be put into the hands of proper officers for collection. Our hands must be paid, and paper, ink and type bought and this cannot be done without the money. Friends, we are thankful for patronage, and we will be still more so for a speedy settlement of old accounts.

0^7°R. K. KROUT, Esq., will delived the 9th Lecture before the Mechanics' Institute

on next

Thursday evening. Subject:'Amer

ican Archaeology,'

Temperance and Anti-Temperance. The excitement on the subject of a prohibitory law is rapidly extending and deepening taking strong hold of nil minds in the community. It is discussed in all parts of the county and by all classcs. That angry feelings will arise, may confidently be looked for. This, however, should carefully^ be guarded against. Let the subject of liquor drinking be discussed in all its length and breadth, let its evils be portrayed clearly, plainly, forcibly let its influence on mind, morals and health, be fully and boldly proclaimed and then let the defence (if deience there be) be heard from those who may step forward as the champions of the traffic.

In this republican country no true spirited American will attempt to disturb any constitutional assembly, convened for laudable purposes nay every friend of his country, every lover of order, every supporter of good government, every true patriot will frown upon any effort to check free discussion or to disturb a legal assembly.

If in these discussions harsh or slanderous language is used, if the characters of individuals are assailed, if improper and false imputations are charged upon innocent persons, other means than force or mob law can and should be resorted to. No party or set of men can hope for success who oppose lawful assemblies with mob law or attempt to carry, their jown views by forcible means.

If subjects of this kind cannot be debated or discussed without disturbance, why need we longer boast of American freedom? Why are we yearly called on for taxes for the support of our government?

Every man who disturbs a meeting by improper conduct, it matters not what are his opinions or to what party he belongs, should have the penalties of the law visited upon him. No good or reputable citizen will disturb a lawful assembly. Should the speakers defame or slander him, he will seek another time and other means of redress. When the subject is to be debated by speakers from opposite sides, the preliminaries should be agreed upon, and the discussion carried on as sensible and intelligent men and should any man or set of men attempt a disturbance, it is the duty of both parties to unite in enforcing order. This is the only way in which such discussions can be profitably conducted.

The ppirit of mob law will not prevent the discussion of the subject the disastrous results of the liquor traffic will be held up for the contemplation of the world, its ruinous effects upon families, its destruction of health, happiness and hopes of thousands of our fellow-citizens will be proclaimed and if those who sustain the traffic would check the progress of temperance they must bring forward arguments and facts to prove that the statements of temperance men are fulse—this is their only hope. The people are aroused to the grand importance of the subject all minda are fully awake and catching information from every quarter. Light they, nsk for, and light they, will have, and no arm is sufficiently powerful to crush the longing desire of the people to l,no\r the truth. Again we would say,

let the liquor men prove that liquor making, selling andvdrinking, will make Families happy that it will feed the hungry, clothe the naked and bring joy and gladness io the hearts of widows and orphans. Let them prove that mighty evils do not result, that health and happiness are not destroyed, that the lives of men are not taken, and their cause will be triumphant—but if they fail their cause is gone, hopelessly gone. Then let the discussions be conducted in the spirit of our country, as freemen and citizens of the same government should discusa each and every subject.

D3=The speech of JAMES WILSON, Esq., before the.lury on Thursday last, in the case of the State against Jacob Coleman, was one of the ablest and most eloquent ever delivered in our Court House He summed up the evidence in a masterly style collected it into one bright burning focus, rendering it clear as sun-light to every unpregudiced mind that the accused party was guilty.

His defenco of woman was a noble tribute to virtue and purity. We would that every man and woman in the county could have heard his burning words and glowing eloquence. Pleading for the cause of order, propriety and the observance of law, he seemed borne aloft on a swelling tide of noble and glorious enthusiasm, and every sentence as it burst from his lips seemed pregnant with conviction, and sunk deep upon the hearts of the audience. Mr. Wallace replied—labored hard, spoke long and loud, and did as well as could be expected under the circumstances. He gained a verdict from the Jury—Wilson obtained a verdict from the people.

J. L. ROBINSON.—-We observe that some of our exchanges have noticed that there was a determination on the part of some of the citizens of this place to burn J. L. Robinson. U. S. Marshall, in effigy during his short stay here a few days since We publish this week a communication containing all the facts in" the case. We trust that those papers that have noticed the affair will publish the materiel facts as contained in the communication.

OCrThe Turks have gained another brilliant victory over the Russians. The prestige, of Russian in vincibility is now broken and we trust forever.

The Erie difficulties continue

unabated. It is the most disgraceful riot that ever occurred in the S. It is full time that the General Government had interposed and put a stop to these violations of law.

For the Journal:

J. L, Robinson.

EDITOR:—As the past Week

has been one of some little excitement in our usually quiet town, and as reports unfavorable to the propriety and deportment of our citizens may go abroad, I have thought proper to enquire into the most important facts of the case. The result is as follow,®:

On Wednesday, the' 1st inst., a large number of Temperance men came in from the country, expecting to hear the Rev. Mr. Crary address the citizens on the subject of a Prohibitory Liquor Law. About noon it was reported that John L. Robinson, the U. S. Marshall, was in town, and the report spread rapidly. After a good deal of running to and fro, a meeting was conveened in a mechanic's shop, in which the Democrats, the Whigs, and Free Soilers were ail represented. After a hasty interchange of sentiment it was

Resolved, That the individual last named, having outraged the public decency of Indiana and of the civilized world, on the person of John Freeman, he merits some mark of our disaprobation.

The next question was, what shall that be? Some proposed to stuff a pair of pantaloons with straw and burn them in front of the Hotel where the loathsome creature had found a a shelter A majority however were for a picture or transparency, of the heart-revolting act of Robinson to be carried aloft, and resolutions of disapproval read. Our diBtinguised artist was speedily at work, and forms of life-like expression arose rapidly under his pencil. A committe was appointed to prepare resolutions, and another to wait upon Mr. Holton, the landlord of the Hotel, to inform him of the entire peaceful character of the demonstration, and that no violence was contemplated by anyone, and no disrespect intended to him, his family or Hotel. Mr. Holton, in his usual gentlemanly way, acquiesed in the arrangement. The artist by this time had completed his labors, and his work gave universal satisfaction Mr. Editor, I am no conniseur in such things, but I will try to describe it. On the right of the picture is a figure of the Marshal with threatning attitude and expression, a large whip held up in his right hand, and a scroll in his left, on which is inscribed, "Fugitive Slave Law." In the center of the picture with his face toward the Marshal John Freeman is shown, in a state of nudity, in supplicatory posture, and modestly endeavoring to hide his nakedness.— On the left of the picture one of the kidnapping witnesses is down on his knees, with a pair of spectacles on, and his nose in close proximity to the seat of Freeman's honor, is looking for flesh marks to swear by. In ihe background is shown the kidnapper Ellington and his three other perjured witnesses In the conception of our artist at least they are hideous looking fellows. When the procession was nearly ready to move, it was discovered that Robinson had left the Hotel, and was the guest of the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald. Mr. McDonald was informed of the nature and object of the demonstration which was then intended to be enacted on the public road near his residence, and he manfully protested against the whole thing said that Robinson was his guest and any insult to Robinson was an insult to himself which he was bound to repel by force and at all hazardss. The opposite party then told Mr. McDonald that they did not intend to commmit any unlawful act, or to touch his premises, or to commit violence on any person, but as to his force argument, they understood the whole matter as well as he did. Mr. McDonald had gone too for. He soon, however, adroitly recovered himself, told them in* a suplicatory tone that his honor was at stake, said Robinson was a gentleman, and that certain editors at Indianapolis had published lies about him, said that Robinson never stripped Freeman's pantaloons off— all of which he promised to prove to their satisfaction—begged them to desist, from their purpose, and not wound the feelings of himselT and family. He had struck the right cord, they did desist, and the very men whom the smell of gunpowder would have converted into demons were melted into tears.

Robinson, it is supposed, escaped from the place during the darkness. MONTGOMERY.

Bedini Sailed.

NEW YORK, Saturday, Feb. 4.—Bedini sailed to4 day in the Atlantic, for Liverpool.

?W For the Journal. Mr. EDITOR.—Having had thoughts of purchasing real estate in some flourshing town or villages on the great Northern and Southern thoroughfare of Indiana, I took several things into the accounts before making a decision population, morals, schools &c.

One on which I had fixed my with eye much interest,

a healthy, pleas

ant town, I found with a population of about two thousand five hundred with a sprightly air of business, and evident strife, and on inquiry, I found fair opportunities for favorable investments.

But upon further investigation, I found that in this whole population, there was but one school house, and that much dilapidated, and unoccupied. 1 made some inquiry in repect to this state of things, and was told by a plain mechanic, that several ol the most wealthy citizns of the place, were opposed to taxation for public schools, and that there was not stamina enough in the community to establish and maintain a corporation!

The next town I visited, I found not so favorably situated as to its advantages, and somewhat inferior in its buildings, business, and in several other respects, but I found an intelligent and vigorous corporation, a system of graded schools, consisting of some five minor schools, and a central high school for boys and girls, the latter under the instruction of a graduate of one of our colleges.— Besides, I found the tuition, here, by the best teachers, averaged only about two dollars and fifty cents per schollar, for the whole year. In which of the these villages would you suppose 1 invested my capital?

EMIGRANT.

For the Journal.

MR. EDITOR:—I have taken pains to copy from a standard periodical of the day, the following extract, containing some truly philosophical remarks on the subject of politeness, hoping that if may catch the eye of some of the young ladies and gentlemen who disturbed the lecture before the Mechanics' Institute, the other evening, and of some of those who are threatened with a public reprimand at the Methodist Church.

is a matter of surprize, and to many a well wisher of the youth of our community, that !t has come to be so of late that our public literary exhibitions and lectures, and to some extent one religious services, are disturbed, not by the boys of the street— the idle and lawless mob, but by those who would deem it a great indignity to be considered impolite! P.

Politeness.

That man is a gentleman who is truly and strictly polite. By this expression we intend very high praise indeed true politeness we consider one of the rarest things. The word has been variously defined. We have heard it indicated as being a knowledge of the little usages of society, such as not pouring tea into a saucer, not speaking in company without an introduction, and such like, and the habit of strictly conforming to such. This requires no refutation its very utterance, on the principle that in speaking of a thing you set in the foreground your main idea regarding it, implies hopeless ignorance of the nature of politeness.

"The churlih spirit, howe'er he veil His want in forma for fashion's sake, Will let his coltish nature break, At seasons through the guilded pale."

True politeness may be met in the hut of the Arab, in the court yard of the Turk, in the cottage of the Irishmail,- and is excessively rare in ball rooms. Jt is independent of accent and form it is one of the constant and universal noble traits of man whosoever and howsoever developed.

It has been defined again, "perfect ease without vulgarity or affectatici.n." Here manifestly a great advance is made one half of politeness is correctly defined. Yet we think there is overlooked that part of politeness which refers to others besides one's self and politeness, as it consists wholly in a certain dealing of man with man, must include both parties in its reference. The truly polite man is not merely at ease, but always sets you at ease. We venture to define it thus: Politeness is natural, genial, manly deference, without hypocrisy, sycophancy, or obtrusion. This is sufficiently inclusive and exclusive. It excludes a great many. We cannot agree that Johnson was polite, that is, if politeness is to be distinguished from nobleness, and courage 'and even kindness of heart in a word from every thing but itself.

Burns was polite^ when jewelled

duchesses were charmed with his ways. ^Arnold was polite, when the poor woman felt that he treated her as if she were a lady. Chalmers was polite, when every old woman in morning side was elated and delighted with his courteous salute.

Politeness is the last touch, the finishing perfection of a noble character, it is the gold on the spire, the sunlight on the cornfield—it results only from the truest balance and harmony of soul.

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. On the 3d inst., the allied fleets entered the Black Sea, leaving six ships at Beycos bay to guard the Bosphorus. The first division of the Turkish fleet accompanied the allies, but the second division remains at anchor in the Bosphorus.

The Czar is not supposed to consider the entry of the fleet as a declaration of war, but he has ordered all his own fleet to return to Sevastopal.

On the 6th of January the Turks gained a brilliant victory on the Danube. They stormed and captured the Russian camp at Citabe, near Kalalat, and put 2,500 of the enemy to the sword. They also attacked a body of 18,000 Russian forces sent to relieve the camp, and after a sharp engagement compelled them to retreat. The Russians are thus driven back from the position by which they hoped to cross the Danube. The Turkish force engaged numbered 15,000 men with fifteen guns. It is admitted that Omar Pascha has completely out manoeuvered the Russian Commander, and has taken several important positions on the Danube.

The defeat of the Turks in Asia is admitted and attributed to the weak generalship of Abdi Pascha, but Gen. Greyon has been dispatched to the army there with full powers, and the spirit of the Turks had been revived.

Schamyl has sent a messenger to the Porte, advising him that he is now ready to act energetically against Russia so, upon the whole, the affairs of the Turks in Asia look brighter.

Meanwhile negotiations are going on, and the Sultan has agreed to a Congress, to meet in a neutral city, and to which he will send a delegate.

It is confirmed that Persia has resumed negotiations with the English envoy, and will not at present attack the Turks.

The American ships Edward Fletcher and Cinder were fallen in with at sea, wrecked. The crew and passengers were saved and landed in Holland. :M

The infant Princess of Spain died suddenly. The Rev. James Richardson complains that he is detained a prisoner byr the Austrian police, at Hinchent, in Hungary, and calls upon the United States for redress.

The advices from China state that Amoy had been recaptured by the Imperialists, who massacred 1000 of the inhabitants.

It is stated that news of a pacific character had been received at St. Petersburgh. The news of the success of the Turks on the Danube caused great alarm at Vienna, and it was reported that the Emperor was about to leave for Warsaw to have a conference with the Emperor of Russia, on the Eastern question.

Doings in Congress.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Tuuesday, Jan. 31.-— After Mr. Douglas had concluded, Mr. Chase took the floor, and in a forcible and eloquent manner repelled the charges made against him by the Senator from Illinois. He assured Mr. Douglas that in writing the address alluded to the Senator did not for a moment occupy his mind, and was only alluded to in tho postscript, and as author of the bill.

Mr. Chase then proceeded: "The Senator exagerated his own importance, considering himself the whole committee, and took to himself all that was said of the measure. I know the gigantic stature of the Senator's importance. I know the immense pawer and influence the Senator exert? over the country. I know

ihe Senator is surrounded here by a large and powerful party, and 1 know the disadvantage 1 labor under in a controversy, provoked by the Senator I know'the odds against me and the Senator from.Massachusetts, we stand alone are in a small minority, two against sixty-tvvo. 1 challenge the Senator to point to a solitary instance in which I or the Senator from itssachusetts, have ever swerved to one side or the other in voting upon any quesijon to promote the interests of the country. 1 (isk the Senator to point to any instance in which my vote has been influenced for or against a measure, because a Northern or a Southern State was to be benefitted by it. All we have done is to deny the nationality of slavery. This has been our position firm and unalterably, and in it we are in a minority in the Senate. I am now here in the Senate and before the country 1 reaffirm and reassert every word contained in that address to which the Senator alluded, but denying it had any imputation upon the motive, or called in question the course of any individual.— Having thus briefly explained the groundlessness of the charge made against me by the Senator, I will defer until to-morrow my arguments on the merits of the Hill."

Mr. Wade said he had read the address and approved of it, and if it had been presented to him he would have signed it. Mr. Sumner denounced the bill, and the evident effort which has been made to hurry it through Congress before the people had time to express their opinion upon it. Adjourned at midnight.

HOUSE/'*

Mr. Richardson, from the Committee on Territories, reported a bill tor the organization of the territory of Nebraska and Kansas, the same as that now before the Senate.

England is actively recruiting her coast defenses. The Bank of France has raised the rate of interest to 5 per cent.

When the Arabia sailed, the general impression was that the Czar would withdraw his Ambassadors from France and England and declare war.

CHERRY PECTORAL.—We have departed from our usual rule in regard to the advertising of Medicines, in admitting the notice of the Cherry Pectaral to our columns.
