LETIEU FSOH 337. ME. CEAIiY.

From the State Journal.

•"To Lie or not to Lie—!Iliat is the Question." "Will the editor of tlic Journal permit me to place seme matters before the public in Indiana, which are somewhat of a personal cast though relatively bearing on vital issues now pending before free Indiana.

The medium through which I usually communicate my thoughts on the moral questions of the day is not as .suitable for the ^resent purpose as the leading Journal of my own State.

It' is well known that for years past it has been my pleasure to keep up a close correspondence with the Western Christian Advocate. Some new and stirring events in the history of Indiana during tiie past few months sec.ii to require from time to time,- .some notice at my hands and for publishing soma facts in relation to the conduct' of dignified officials and fawning office seekers, J. have been most violently assailed a.id villainously traduced all over the State. Really I cannot, tell why men who have been the principal actors in these public scenes, should blame me for giving their acts a wider notoriety than they could have procured from ordinary channels. If their deeds ate praiseworthy, they ought to be thankful to me for telling them to the people, and as for my comments thereon, they are only the words of a poor "itinerant vagabond," and need not be so taken to heart by the honest men whose names it has been my duty and privilege. to celebrate.

Numerous papers have been sent me from different parts o5 the State, containing what heated, politicians call the vilest and most unfounded slanders. It has not seemed to me prudent or necessary to pay any manner of attention to them heretofore. Many abusive articles. I have never read. My brethren, too, have been assailed as a set of busy bodies in other men's matters,

IIIIIIIHIWI II••IIIBII Ml M\ lU'lllH HI HI Hill

as brawling hvpocritcs and political preachers. All these things do not move me. Sly character is worthless and my whole life a failure if they can be tarnished by tho slimy ejections of hireling editors whose very souls are sold for grog, or office. It would not be proper now to notice the yelping slaves of negro hunters and whisky traders, were it not for the blessed cause, the holy cause of Temperance and Freedom. Too dear to. my heart is ihe cause of (he people to allow my neglect or indifference to bring a reproach upon ic. It is said that I have attacked and slandered, the Democratic parlv. This I scarcely need say is whollv, basely false. Not one solitary svllablc have I uttered against tho Democratic party, unless tho Democratic party consists oi a set of rum-drinking slave-catchers, or brawling infidels. 1 pronounce all editors unworthy ,of belief and specimens of thmravi ty who niter a falsehood so glaring. I did casually review the proceedings of a certain anti-Democratic, Slaveoeracie, Rumoeratie Convention, heid hero on the 24th of May. It came legitimately within my province to review it liecause it assailed, ail that I hold dear in religion, good morals or politics. It I were conscious of .saying anything but trntn in reference to that Convention, I would take it all back and make the amende honorable.

Such papers as tho "Rmhville Jaeksoiuun" T/i Raoli Emtio- Covington Friend'' and "The La parte Tones" have been sent to me. They are all interesting specimens of fossil whiskyocracy The question seems to bo with them whether they shall lie under the trulii or lie out of it, and the latter course has been adopted with great unanimitv. In their haste to coniront t.rti thev have run against their masters as they shall see.

It would be absurd to say that 1 had written against Democracy, when I have on!v held up to the gaze of a few the twin villainies of liquor selling and negro catching, and that other hideous crime o' consigning tho hind of iieedom to Slavery forever. The strength of these papers *.s certainly in the editorials instead of the editors, while the former would almost make soap without greese, the latter need a large outlay of soap to wash them from the accumulated stai-ns of years misspent. Those papers and others of like propensities seize one single fact of my letter to the Advocate and exhaust their bad grammer and stores of bile on that. They denounce me as a malicious Whig, misrepresenting the whole Democratic party, and they only tlx on one .-ingle slatemen—to wit that concerning Mr. Hannegan's speech.

I regret to say that I was one of a large number who called for Mr Hannegau on the night of his memoriable speech. There was much enthusiasm exhibited when Mr. Hannegan's name was announced. He was loudly called for by the crowd in the lobbies, while the convention proper seemed solicitous to get some other v.-iuu on the iioor—Temperance men standing around me called for Mr. Hannegan, and though others were called they persisted until he arose—Temperance men desired to hear in that Convention one manly Temperance speech—the resolutions on that subject were pending and hence the interest felt in Mr, Hamiegan all were disappointed. The noble ex-Senator did not even mention the subject of Temperance, much less dwell unon it. Tho editor of the Laporte Times s.iys "His—Mr. II.'s—apostrophe to Temperance was a most beautiful one." \os, about as beautiful as the babe to be born when whisky triumphs, or tho shanghai which my neighbor intends to have hatched if the eggs dont get addled. The truth is he never mentioned tho subject, he did not say "temperance," "prohibition," or any other word, long or short, that could be construed into an endorsement of the temperance reform in any sense. In the close of hisaddress he warned the Convention not to le led oil'by "side issues" but he did not tell what these were. There might have been a sneaking insinuation, thai if thny did not watch out, somebody would get into ti otible. His whole speech was a bitter tirade against the. "tri colored flag of Whiggory, and the black dag of Abolitionism." The New England clergymen and ministers in general, who dared to speak in the name of God against that collossal ciime, tho passage ot tho xNcbraskaKansas bill.

The Paoli Dr.zjurd says in substance, (i have not tho nuisance about me) "that Mi-. Hannegan said nothing about Protestants or Catholics, that ho did not say anything against ministers. He offers to prove that I lie by t'lrc' or four loafers, who, he says, will swear that Mr. Hannegan did not say anything about Catholics, &e." I do not doubt but that he can prove that evervthing that took place at the Convention did not happen at all, if the interests of his pet. whisky demand it.

Tho Laporte Herd Times say- "he— Hannegan—however, drew no distinction between sects—said nothing of Protestants, nciiiing of Catholics." Will the Time? and tho delegates swear to that too I suppose they would if they were not saved that trouble by the summary confession of Mr. Hannegau himself. All of tire advocates of rum. and ruin were ready to swear to that same fact. The "friend" of free whhky and opponent of enslaved men, of Covington, denies and denounces too, and all the brandy-soaked papers chime in and swear that 1 lie, and that Mr. Hannegan said nothing of "fire," "faggot," and "destruction." If the" sw&aring of such men amounted to much then all true men would be in danger. Bui we now put Mr. Hannegan's statement against the whole brood and leave them in their glory. It will be seen that Mr. Hannegan fully acknowledges every material allegation. He says in his letter to the State Sentinel, "speaking of those ministers, who had made such an attempt to defeat a law, the' Nebraska-Kansas bill conforming in all its features to tho letter of

our Constitution, 1 suppose them to be of that class who are constantly endeavoring to embitter the public mind against "our Cuthotic population and who by their own utter icant charily ehow that with power in their hands they irovlcl turn on their adversaries zeith fire and faggr-i, and with as little remorse as the Catholic, or any other church clothed with supreme power, ever exhibited."

JVOW is there' nothing of "Catholics," nothing of "fire and faugot?" The only discrepancy between hi.-: statement and mine is in reference to the Protestant clergy. He says he meant the anti-Nebraska clergy alone, and I say he not only reanuiy abused them, but. also made tlr sweeping statement in reference to the whole Protestant clergy. Mr. Hannegan knows and all his sham compatriots know, that nearly all the Protestant clergy are opposed to the Nebraska bill.

After Mr„ Hannegan delivered himself of a great quantity of bile on tho heads of the unfortunate "Whigs and Abolitionists, and poured torrents of indignation on the heads of the New England and Chicago clergymen, he closed that part of las address with this sentence "The Protestant elergv in this country would, if they had it in their power, persecute and destroy the Catholic Chun-h and her priests with lire and faggot and then build up a despotism worse than ever existed in Rome, or under the Church of Rome.

Having been often asked how I know he said this, I answer once for all I was there and heard, and as soon as possible wrote it down and read it to several friends who also heard it and agreed that I had precisely the meaning if not the exact words. 1 have not seen a single person who was there and did not understand it precisely as I did. All the whisky newspapers who believe the chief end of man is to catch negroes, have published that I told a falseho'i 1. Will any of them have the manliness to confess themselves mistaken Wiil the numerous gentlemen who were going to cane me for lying, just conclude not to do that genteel thing unlil they get more light? if they still feci like caning I respectfully suggest to them that 1 demur to that plan, and shall let the demurer lie on the table until the action commences. An axiom occurs to my mind: "I'asc poltroonery is the invariable attendant of a blustering braggart." As to the Convention of the 24th, I have not one word 1o correct of all I said. I only regret that the people could not see it as it wi1- no candidates nominated by that Convenlion are clover but unfortunate men. have regarded all of them as my friends. I have and still do love some of them, and respect all of them. With thousands I mourn the necessity that compels me to decline all aid in electing them on the Platform upon which they were thrust, nolens vole ns.

I have heard no complaint against them as officers, but their platform is the oddest lowest, narrowest, ugliest,dirtiest thing thai ever was made or seen before. It was built by an architect formerly of Indiana, now of Kentucky. It was planned in Washington and only has two planks. One was taken from Ilogan Creek below the big disti'oiy in Aurroa, where the maggots are some two feet deep—tiie plank is from an old scow used to freight whisky, but now in a sinking condition and the other was hi ought by our Senator "'it. Jesse," from his "missionary establishment oher de Ohio," and is an identical part of Uncle Tom's old cabin, gone into decay since Lagree whipped L'nele. Tom to death. These precious relics constitute tho platform and represent two great principles —one embodied in the Siili House and the other in our beloved Senator's plantation, well stocked with black two-legged cattle which wo must catch if they run away, for according to the "self evident lie," "Minis endowed wiih certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of niggers." I love my friend and must be pei mit fed to say that among ihem have been many regular, true democrais. I cannot see with them now. 1 cannot see squatter sovereignty in tho Nebraska Bill. J. cannot see how with a good conscience I could do otherwise than appose this iniquitous scheinoi I' is not for love of notoriety that I have entered the field, lior is it because 1 love to ho cursed and lied on it is because 1 fear God, and want to keep a conscience void of offence. True democracy I love—but with loathing unutterable mtist I regard ali tyrrany and oppression. do hope hereafter that the editors whose souls are not their own, and who leel in duty bound to slander me according to their master's wishes, will net send me their worthless papers. I have enough waste paper, and have not time to read much better written lies. The unfortunate subscribers of these rum-gazettes will not be in the least danger of believing them and I do not hesitate to put my word singly and alone before my native State against every vaunting rutnoerat and pro-slavery demagogue.

I most firmly believe tfcat, with all the remaining credulity and superstition among tho people, ninety-nine whisky office seekers and slavery propagandists could not make them believe that tho May Convention did not do what Christian gentlemen that were there say they did. The people read (heir Bibles and have some consciences yet. Indiana has a conscienco and now it is aroused, and with the glare of the lightning looks down on tho traitors who misrepresented and sold her in tho shambles. Then my countrymen, I send to you my most hearty greeting and thank God the time of your redemption is so nigh. Ere the ides of October, the foul blot on our dear native land shall be wiped away. The glad intelligence comes up from every part of the State, of the up-rising of the people in majesty,- Virtue and poweiv Young mien of Indiana: You that were bom on her

August 17, 1854.—Ot.

i£5?~A Washington city paper remarks: We assert a well known truth, when we say, that in the Capital of this nation, among its honored legislators, oaths, imprecations, and blasphemies, are horribly redundant that true dignity and elevated morality are laughed to scorn and that good and virtuous men of the Republic very generally decline to contest for positions in the mi(lst of mere worldly, reckless, and vindictive men'.

"Squatter Sovereignty."

The Slave-Democratic papers prate long and loud about what they call "Squatter Sovereigndr' secured by*'the enactment of tho repeal of the Missouri Compromise.— Here is a specimen of that kind of Sovereignty which exists in Kansas. Wo copy* from an am i-Je.ito paper published at Weston :—X. A. Trib. "$200 REWARD!"

We are authorized—by responsible men in thi« reiehborhnnd—to C':»ei' the above reward for the apprehension and sale delivery into the hands of the Squatters of Kansas Territory, of one Eli Thayer, a leading and ruling spirit among the Abolitionists of New Yoik and Xow England, recently appointed as a special agem by the.niardorors of Bacheidor in Boston, to proceed to Kansas for the purposed of examining that Territory and making selections of such portions as will suit for the settlement of twenty thousand Abolitionists—including, of course, the nuliiticrs of the feoiuve .-lave law, the rescuers of the slave Shaddrach arid ihe.murJeiors of Bacheider, a I.-niicd States deputy Marshal in the discharge of his duty. Said Eli Thayer is a Representative of tho "higher lav.* doctrine," and deputed by the wealthy Abolitionists of Xew York City, Boston and other cities, to 'make way' for (ho Abolition paupers, 'thieves, and murderers, who are to settle

Kansas for, and in behalf of. the worthy employers and colleagues in iniquity of sai-l I Thayer. JS'OW, therefore, it behooves ali I good citizcns of Kansas territory audi the

State of Missouri, to watch the advene of •this agent of Abolitionism to arrest, him and deal with him in such a manner as the •enormity of his crimes and iniquities shall seem to meiit. Representing ali the Abolilionists, he consequently bears all their I sins, and the blood of Bachcldcr is upon his head, crying aloud for expiation at the hands of the people. We would counsel moderatiou, but let him, said Thayer, carry back I to his 'Abolition confederates' of New EngHand, such evidence, on his person, as wiil I bo an admonition ever hereafter, for them not to meddle with our peace, our institutions, and our rights under the constitution of tiie country. Watch the movements of

Eli Thayer, ami give him a warm reception!

Tho following, which belongs to (he Goshen Democrat style of rhetoric, we clip from iho Lonisvilie Courier, where wo find it credited to an Alabainian.

They were examined before tho Mayor, when passports wiih names not agreeing with those recorded for them, cn the passenger list wore produced. They had I old some of the passengers that they were convicts sent ovn* by the authorities of Antwerp, and this led to their arrest, yet as no evidence of a positive character could bo procured, and after being exhibited to the police, were discharged.

It is said that there is a company established at Antwerp for the purpose of forwarding convicts to this country, and that the authorities pay a premium cn each one sent over by this company.
