Otir only reason for not issuing the Jourmil last week, is, 1h at paper could not he obtained. "We used every possible exertion to secure it, and received a letter from the manufacturers that it had been sent in the early part of the week, but it did not arrive

MAJOR MACE.

It will be seen from to-day's paper that Major MACE is now a candidate for Congress on the People's ticket, and, strange as it may appear" that we are the advocates of his election. Under this state of things the question will naturally and oft times be asked how it is that we who have opposed him in times past with such determined rcbistance, can now lift our voice and put f.-rth efforts in his behalf. Has the Major changed or have we changed, that "this unbooked for agreement and harmony of political action should be brought about We answer

that a change of political opinion cannot be charged upon either party. He does not profess to have united with and become the advocate of what are known to be the principles of the Whig party, nor have wc become the advocate and defender of those principles and measures heretofore styled

Democratic. In the councils of our country a measure lias been recently brought forward without cause, without discussion before the people, one involving high, vital, and national importance to the permanence and perpetuity of our Government and pertaining especially to Slavery, that vexed and difficult

question, which never fads to produce the most exciting and angry discussion, and threaten the upheaving and overturning of the very foundation pillars of this great fabric of empire. This measure involved the repeal of a principle in favor of freedom which hail been established by our

Fathers, consecrated by time and held in hallowed rememberance by all living patriots." For the repeal of this measure the Administration (though pledged to support, it,) exercised all its powers and influence. The movers of it had pledged themselves as individuals and as party men never again to disturb the repose which then existed on the subject of Slavery, had acquiesccd in

the principle of the W ilmot Proviso, had proclaimed to the world that it was right, judicious, and should be sacredly maintained. Aye more, they had declared that a necessity for speaking, acting upon, or in any other way exciting discussion on the subject could never again arise. The plighted faith of Major MACE in common with the entire Democratic party, was given to sustain and perpetuate the principles of the Missouri Compromise. He maintained

his integrity, stood firm to freedom, spurned the threats, power and moneyed influence of the Administration, sundered the ties of party and boldly maintained the sacredness, the necessity and correctness of the measure his party proposed to repeal.

That wc had sustained the Missouri Compromise and always opposed its repeal, is known as far as we are known we have had io concealment on the subject, and

still regard it as the most important prinof ciplo American politics.

tension of Slavery into territory now free, were the prime objects to be accomplished by the Administration and its supporters,

the Old Line democracy And in order to effect this nefarious schcme tney endeavored to crush and overpower every democrat who dared to stand in opposition to them and yet did Major MACB nobly resist their schemes and pload for freedom, for principles and the policy of our Fathers. Under these circumstances wo deem it a duly in­

cumbent not only upon us, but upon all lovers of freedom, to manifest their appreciation of his present position, to place the seal of their approval upon his manly and independent course, and to show to the Ad­

ministration and its supporters that when they attempt to drive from place and station men who may differ with them, the people will rally to their support, and also

to teach the Administration that they have not concentrated and consolidated all power into their own hand:-.

"Wc have differed with Major MACE and condemned many things he has said and done on other subjects of national policy, but we have been ready to approve what­

ever we considered right in his course. On the subject now agitating the country, involving, as it does, a principle of far greater and more weighty importance than any other, he is right and we endorse his course, sanction his votes and stand ready to give him our,support in the present canvass. K?

Are the Old Liners Temperance Men?

The speakers and many of the Old Liners persist in proclaiming to the world that they are Temperance men, and arc not upholding the liquor traffic. If this be true, why did they select as a candidate for the Legislature a Winn who stands upon the

Alamo platform, and who declares his object "toput down the teetotalers?" Some of their candidate's most active friends and

supporters arc engaged in manufacturing

and selling whi.-key arc they Temperance men, desiring and striving to promote the cause If their professions are true would Mr. A. J. SXYLER, Judge HCKLEY and other whiskey makers and sellers unite so cordially and earnestly with them Would

Temperance men march in procession around town and cheer a grog shop?— Would Temperance men denounce Ministers of the Gospel and support the liquor seller and liquor maker? AVill Temperance men resolve "that intemperance is a great moral and social evil," acknowledge the horrid evils attendant upon the traffic, and yet put/orth no means to prevent or

suppress it

Slavery, the repeal of all

The profession of men will never be taken when in direct opposition to their practice. The truth is, these Old Liners

whose standard bearer is the hig, Thos. Wii.'on, are the friends and supporters of the liquor traffic. Many of them we know are temperate men, but they sustain and uphold the causes of intemperance, they sustain the liquor maker, they sustain and put their names on the liquor seller's bond they caucus with, act with, vote with the liquor maker and seller, they claim it as a natural, constitutional and inalienable right of man to drink whenever, whatever and as much as he pleases even of intoxicating liquors, and yet claim to be Temperance men! Was there ever greater inconsistency, more unblushing impudence "What, Temperance men and yet rally around the distillery Temperance men and yet defend to the last the rum seller Temperance men and sign the liquor seller's bond whose boast it is to "make the hearts of parents ache over the destruction of their

sons!!!''

Can or will a christian sustain, support

and encourage the publication of inbuel works Will he identify himself directly with an infidel publishing house? W ill a genuine Protestant lend his influence, his

means, his votes to the building up of the Roman Catholic Church The professing christian who gives his influence to Infidelity is regarded by all as inconsistent and hypocritical. The same is said of Catholic supporting Protestants. In what light then are we to consider those men who profess Tcmpcrancc and at the same time use

all their talents, their influence, give of their means, and at all times vote for such men and measures as the liquor maker and liquor seller may demand, who do all in their

power to sustain the liquor traffic and prove to men that they have the right, the inalienable and natural and constitutional right, not only to make but to sell and to drink as they please. "Who can believe such men when they profess to be in favor of Temperance and call themselves the Temperance party Ah, no Such men, though they touch not, nor taste (he infuriating drinks,

though their skirts were never polluted with the stain of drunkenness, yet does the responsibility of sustaining the traffic rest more fearfully and heavily on them than on the inebriate himself. Let all such sober men, such respectable men withdraw their approbation of the traffic and thunder in­

dignation against it, and the accursed thing will not exist another year to blast, destroy and brutalize the noble sons oi Indiana.— So long as men persist in sustaining the platform of the Old Liners of this county let them not pervert the term Temperance by applying it to their organization. They are identified, individually and collectively with free whiskey, they sustain and prop up the liquor traffic, they support each md every instrumentality, which leads men through all the gradations and dark labar-

inths of-drunkenness, to the lowest and

deepest infamy and wretchedness,

Mr. Beebe.

"We take pleasure in announcing to our readers the fact that Mr. Beebe, the vaunted champion of free whiskey, will bo in this place on the 12th day of September, to ex­

plain to the people of this coun|$| the pleasures and blessings of the liquor traffic to the present and also to the rising generation. Mr. Beebc is the editor of the "Banner of Liberty,'' published in the State of New York, which has become somewhat notorious in this region as the paper to which the famous letter of Mr. John Lee was written. The object of Mr. Becbe's visit to Indiana is to check the progress of temperance, bolster up the tottering fabric of liquordom, excite opposition to the passage of a prohibitory liquor law, advocate

the doctrine of free whiskey, and the right of every man to drink whenever, whatever and in such quantities as his appetite may dictate". Another object coincident with that of his paper, is to thwart the efforts of

the Ministers of the Gospel, throw ridicule upon their preaching and excite the indignation of the people against them. Such, fellow-citizens, is the mission of this New York Giant upon whom theAlamoites and Old Liners now hang as the last, faint and

lingering hope. Wo bespeak for hiin a large crowd aud a patient hearing. lie can but reiterate the arguments that have a thousand times been refuted. He is said to be aline speaker, an ingenious reasoner, a cunning debater, and a bold declaimer but the Prohibitionists, the friends of temperance, will fear him as little as David the son of Jesse feared the boasting giant of the Philistines.

Come out, friends, and see if the groat New Yorker can prove that the Legalised dram shop, the Crawfordsvillo Temple of

Liberty, and those shops that sell liquor without license arc blessings to the town ari'l County. You have witnessed "llCJ ef­

fects, you have seen the debauchery they

produce, you have heard the blasphemy their drugged liquors inspire, you have beheld the wretchedness and want they bring upon others—von know their influence upon the physical, mental and moral faculties of man —you have witnessed their effects for years

past, all of which Mr. Beebe will, doubtless, prove to be infinite blessings resulting from the 5xcrci.se of that liberty for which our forefathers fought and bled and died.

Come and hear him.

Since writing the above we have heard that the large distillers in the eastern part of the State, assisted by others in this region, have agreed to pay Mr. Beebe ylOOO for the few speeches he is to make in Indiana. The fee is no more nor less than the price of blood, and he who would receive it for such work is a fit Editor lor a paper which teems with infidelity and blasphemy.

Br. Earl,

The Convention which met in this placc on Friday last, nominated with great unanimity and harmony of action, Dr. Earl, of Middlctown, as a Candidate for the Legislature, in the place of Dr. Berry ue-

ceased. The Doctor is warmly in favor of a pro­

hibitory liquor law, and opposed to the Kansas and Nebraska bill, lie has heretofoie acted and voted with the Democratic party, but now stands forth the standard bearer of the people in their efforts for Pro­

hibition and Freedom.

He is a man of fine nat'val sense, of good judgement, intelligent and attentive to business. We need such solid and substantial

men in our State councils. Friends of Temperance and Freedom, rally to his support. "We can, let us bo sure to elect him.

John E. Coons,

The People's candidate for Treasurer of

Montgomery county, is a man in whom all may placc implicit confidence his very appearance wears the impress an.l bearing of a dignified and noble gentleman. In all his intercourse with his fellow men he has that ease and urbanity of manner winch goes at once to the heart, aud bespeaks for him a placc in the affections of the people. He stoops to nothing mean or contemptible to advance his political interests if elected

to office it Imi5i be on the strictest principles

of honor.

It cannot be said of him that he has written false and slanderous letters against his neighbors with the hope of promoting his own interests. His nature is of too

noble a cast to resort to such measures.— Observe his bearing, note his conduct, listen to his words, and you will find them all comporting with the highest honor and

purity of character. Such are the men that should be elected

to office.

Senator Douglas. ,~

Of late years Senator Douglas has acted quite a conspicuous: part in the councils of ouiv nation, and is doubtless aspiring to aft seat in the Presidential chair. That our readers may know how to appreciate his consistency, his pledges and judgement as a statesman, we select a few passages from his speech on the Resolution declaring the Compromise measures of 1850 a definite

adjustment of all questions growing out of the subject of slavery. We invite the readers of all iestocxI amine these extracts and compare them with the sentiments to which Mr. Douglas has recently given utterance. It will be seen that they are as directly opposite as •day and night, as antagonistic as right and wrong, truth and falsehood.

The measures he recently proposed to repeal as wrong and unconstitutional, lie then proposed to establish as right, constitutional and necessary. In this he has shown

himself inconsistent, vasodilating, unworthy of confidence and destitute of ordinary political sagacity. Let him be judged of by his speeches. "Out of thine own mouth

I

Mr. DOUGLAS addressed the Senate as follows MR. PRESIDENT It is not my intention to go into an elaborate discussion of the measures known as the Compromise, nor of the resolutions presented by the Senator from Mississippi, (Mr. Foote.) At the close of the long session which adopted those measures, I resolved never to make another speech upon the slavery question in the halls of Congress. I regard all discussion of that question here as unwise, mismischievous, and out of place,

"W hen the stormy agitation arose in connection with the anexaiion 6f Texas, I originated and first brought forward the Missouri Compromise as applicable to that territory, and had the gratification to sec it incorporated in hjch annexed xexas to the United States. I did not deem it a matter of much moment as applicable to Texas alone but I did conceive it

probable acquisition of x\ew California. My preference for the Missouri Compromise was predicted on the assumption that the whole people of the United States would bo more easily reconciled to that measure than to any other mode of adjustment and this assumption rested upon the fact that the Missouri Compromise had been the means of an amicable settlement of a fearful controversy in 1821, which had been acquiesced in cheerfully and cordially for more than a quarter of a century, and wdiich ail parties and sections of the Union professed to respect and cherish as a fair, just and honorable adjustment. I could discover no reason for the application of the Missouri line to all the territory owned by the United States in 1^21 that would not apply with equal force to its extension to the Rio Grande, and also to the Pacific, so soon as we should acquire the country. In accoidance with these views, I brought forward the Missouri Compromise at the session of 1H-1as applied bio to Texas, and had the satisfaction to see it adopted. Subsequently, after the war with Mexico had commenced, and when, in August, 1840, Mr. Wihnot. first introduced his proviso, I proposed to extend the Missouri Compromise to the Pacific as a substitute for the Wilmot proviso." "A domestic afflict ion suddenly called me from the capital, and detained me several weeks. On my return I found pending before the Senate the measure known as the Clayton bill. Its provisions were not such as I would have proposed as chairman of the Territorial Committee had I been present. Yet it had the high merit of having beeen repoil- with great unanimity by a special coramit!ec of the most eminent and distinguished members of the Senate, fairly representing all the different sections and interests oi the Union. 1 his fact afforded reason for the hope that tuc bill

ate, and passed this body by a targe majority, but was instant'y rejected in the of Representatives by a still larger ma jority. The day of adjournment having arrived, no

House

further efforts were made to adjust the difficulty during that session. At the opening of the next session, upon consultation, with the friends ot the measure, it was generally coneededed—with, perhaps, here and there an individual exception—that there was no nope left for the Missouri Compromise, and consequently some other plan of adjustment must be devised. I was reluctant to give up the Missouri Compromise, having been the first to bring it forward, and having struggled for it in both houses of Congress for about five years. But public duty demanded that all considerations of pride, of character and of opinion, should be made subservient :o the public peace and tranquility. I gave it up—reluctantly, to be sure—and conceived the idea of a bill to admit California as a State, leaving the people to form a constitution and settle the question of slavery to suit themselves. I submitted this bill to the then President ol the United States,

stating that it received his sanction, and and was introduced by me with his aprobation. The great argument in favor of this bill wras, that it recognized the right of tho people to determine all questions relating to their domestic concerns in their own way, and authorized them to do so uninfluenced by executive dictation, or by the apprehension that, unless they decided the slavery question in a particular way, their application for admission would be rejected by Congress-' Jl do not endorse and never did sanction the charge against the late administration of having used improper means, to influence the decision of the people of California upon this question but I do saj that had this bill becomc the law of tho

(Mr. Polk,) and have the satisfaction of! leap to spring upright, flat-footed and firm

land no such charge would ever have been made or suspicion entertained." "This brief history brings us down to the commencement of that memoriable long session When the late compromise measures were adopted. Mr. President, I may be permitted'Tiere to pause and remark that during the period of five years that I was laboring for the adoption of the Misssouri Compromise, my votes on the Oregon question, and upon all- incidental questions touching slavery, were given with reference to a settlement on that basis, and are consistent with it. If, therefore, any gentleman has the charity or wish to understand the meaning of any or all the votes I ha# occasion to give during that period on this question, ho has only to bear in mind the Missouri Compromise, and then observe the perfect harmony between each vote and that measure."

"In taking leave of this subject. I wish to say that I huie del '•mined never to make another speech on the slavery question and I will now add the hope that the necessity for it will never exist. 1 am heartily tired of the controversy, audi know the country is disgusted with it. In regard to the resolutions of the Senator from Mississippi, I will be pardoned for saying that 1 much doubt the wisdom and expediency of their introduction. The wdiole country is acquiescing in the compromise measures—every where, North and South. Nobody proposes to repeal or disturb them. True, everybody was not for th'jni originally, nor would they be so now were it an open or original question. But since they have been adopted, and time has been given for a liftie cool reflection, everybody seems to bo disposed to treat them as a final settlement of an unprofitable controversy. So long as our .opponents do not agitate for repeals, why should we agitate for any purpose We claim that the compromise is a final settlement. Is a final settlement open to discussion, aud agitation, aud controversy-, by its friends? What, manner of settlement is that which does not settle the difficulty and quiet the dispute Are not the friends of the Compromise becoming the agitators, and will not the country hold us responsible for that winch we condemn and denounce in the abolitionists and free-soilcrs These are matters worthy of our consideration. Those who preach

Uons accomplish "W ill thvv add any

new force or vaiidnlity to the compromise measure? They are already the law oltne land, and must forever remain so, unless repealed. Would it not be wiser, therefore, for all the friends of these measures to remain silent, and wait for tne abolitionists to redeem their pledges to bring forward their proposition to repeal the fugitive law Ys'hen such a proposition shall be brought in, let some Senator from the North rise—and if no one else- does it I will—and state that the country regards the Compromise as a final settlement that a final settlement is not open to discussion and therefore move to lay the proposition on the table. My word-for it, any proposition to repeal or disturb the uinproriiise would be laid on the table by a vote of live to one. A motion to repeal the fugitive law would be voted down by a vote ol five to one of the Northern men, without counting a Southern vote. Let such a test be made, and tire moral effect will be a thou-sand-fold greater than the passage of any series of resolutions. Ivbelieve the course I indicate to bo the true interests of the friends of the Compromise. Besides, any attempt to keep up the agitation and an organization on the basis of the Compromise after it# opponents have abandoned their active opposition and consented to acquiesce in it, although they do not approve of it, will be looked upon as a polit iCi.l movement for ambitious purposes. I desire to see both the great parties acquiesce in the Compromise as a final settlement, but I do not wish to nave a new paitj oi-' gaui/.ed on tile basis of that measure. no 'Democratic party is as good a Union party as I want, and 1 wish it to preserve its principles and organizations, and to triumph upon lis old issues. I desire no iistc toito j-j)n/atif:n.s into the old creed.

This is tne very thing which we wish to avoid, and which it was the object of the Compromise to.prcvcut. I would therefore say to the hieiuls of this stop the demeasure, let us cease agitating,

ed but my views

Thomas Wilson,

The Whig standard bearer of the Old

Line democracy of Montgomery county, failed to satisfy all the different elements which composed the mongrel Convention that nominated him. hence the necessity of a ratification meeting. Mr. Yv ikon in his peculiar straight furuard way, said that "he was in favor of the general principles of the Nebraska bill, but did not like some of the details," after which he voted for reso­

lutions endorsing the whole bill, general principles, details and all. This was a sort of kink some of the Old Liners could not readily understand. At the ratification meeting he took pretty much 'he same position, abused the Whigs as corrupt and rotten because they opposed free, rotten and poisonous whiskey, and made a bold

1* .1 X-. 1 -r i.! .. ti.lne i.'m*

on the Old Line, democratic, free whiskey and pro-slavery platform, but his foot slipped and ho fell still astraddle the fence.— Being rather an unsophisticated youth and desiring to please all the various elements of his present party, he would offend one while pleasing the other, and in reconciling the third .would drive off others. Ihe truth is, the man was so pulled and hauled about, the Alamo men urging him to stick to free and unrestrained whiskey, the Old Liners demanding approvakof "Bill JSe-

braska" in opposition to his- better judgment. tho moderate ones urginghim to fake

a "betwix and between course," his Whig friends deinanding no restrictions to liquor

but opposition to the Nebraska bill, that he knew not which way to turn or what course to pursue. He'seemed ready to exclaim,

Me miserable

Which way I fly am disco

I'd,

Myself am discord. And still before me strctchos A crowd Of discordant men, if perchance I cannot assume any color and all shapes to please their varied fancies.

Now, on which platform docs Mr. Wilson stand, a Whig platform including free whiskey, the Alamof.pl at form, the Old Line nlatform of the Convention which nomina­

does he jump from one to the other as he passes around the county Of one thing we presume the people may rest assured, that Mr. Yv ilson having fed his mind with Beebe productions to the exelusion of wholesome knowledge, stands in favor of free whiskey, without restrietion, allowing every man to manufacture

his own productions into whatever material lie pleases, to sell, cat or drink.it whenever and in such quantities as may suit his own convictions.

Those Resolutions.—Wo have now waited some weeks for Mr. JOHN LEE to furnish those resolutions which he said had been passed by the State Temperance Convention and the Ministers of the different denominations, but he has failed to produce them.

If Mr. LEE does not bring them forth soon ho will lose a number of votes.

We again call for them.
