District, by 2,000 over Preston, Old Line. Marshall, American, elected to congress in the Lexington district over his old line opponent. Old liners routed horse, foot and draggoon.

Old Liners Then, and Now. The old liners of the present day, claiming to be purely democratic, are forever boasting of their nationality, their consistency and their advocacy of constisutional measures. They daily affirm that with them there is neither variation nor shadow of change—that principles are eternal and cannot change.

That the voters of Indiana may know what truth there is in their assertions we invite their attention to their principles as advocated in times past. The following resolution was passed by the. democratic Legislature of 1849—50 approved by Gov. Wright, Jan. 29th, 1850.

SEC. 1. Be it resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That ot»r Senators be instructed, and our Representatives in Congress, be requested, so to cast their votes and extend their influence to have engrafted on any law that may be passed for the organization of the Territory recently required from Mexico, a provision forever excluding from such Territory, Slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party has been duly convicted.

SEC. 2. That the Governor be requested to forward to each of out Senators and Representatives in Congress, copies of this joint resolution at his earliest convenience.

Mr. Joseph Allen, then democratic Senator from this county voted for these resolution

lated to remove, forever the only danger which seems to threaten to sever theUnion. All the evidence of public opinion seemed to indicate that thib' compromise had been canonized in the hearts of the American people as a sacred thing which no ruthless hand would ever be reckless: enough to disturb."—S. A. DOUGLAS.

•President Pierce's first message held the the following language on the subject of slavery:

That this repose is to suffer no shock du ring my official term, if I have the power to avoid it, those who placed me here may be assured.—President Pierce's Message.

While a candidate for congress Mr. McDonald addressed the following letter to H. L. Ellsworth, J. B. Semans, Luther Jewett:

ATTICA, July 3d, 1849.

"GENTLEMEN—Having seen your circular to the candidate of this district in the public press, and not wishing to conceal any opinion held by me in regard to the political questions now agitating the public mind, I hasten to reply to your interrogatories: W "1st. I do admit and believe that Conress has the right to legislate on the submit of slavery for all the Territories of the nited States, the District of* Columbia, inclusive. "2d.

Was he national then or is he national now He was elected on those principles, were his supporters national men if so, they must be Sectional now.

That old liners now occupy grounds diametrically opposite to those contained in the above extracts no man of sense will deny and yet their claims to nationality were as arrogant then as now. If national then, they must be sectional now. Can the people trust men who are perpetually changing on questions of such infinite moment Can they repose confidence in those who would ruthlessly destroy a compromise which was "Canonised in the hearts of the American people?" Can they have faith in men who under the solemn sanction of an oath will vote for a

The Kansas Legislature.

The Kansas Legislature has passed a law requiring every man who shall hold office in that territory to swear, not only to support the Constitution of the United States, the Kansas and Nebraska bill, but also to support the Fugitive Slave law.

This is the popular sovreignty which Old Liners of the North are supporting this is the Nationality of which they boast. There are now in the United States 347,000 slave-holders who govern and control the country who dictate to the South and the Old Liners of the North. Their interests are alone consulted. Every Old Line meeting, every Old Line orator, every Old Line vote, tends to support this monied, this sectional power this oligaichy of Slavery which seeks to foist itself upon the prostrate form of Freedom, and erect a despotism upon territory now free, more galling, more crushing and oppressive, than that which overshadows the Russian Empire, or the Austrian Dynasty. Will the freemen of the North, become the willing and obedient slaves of this monied, slave power of South Will they crouch like coward doughfaces, and bow their heads that the dark wave of Slavery may overwhelm them Up up ye soi^of Freedom— and stay the onward progress'6'fihis blighting power. Up! and forth to Jhe-^&tt^e^ lest the shadows of perpetual Slavery sho'tJj rest upon our entire land.

The Republican party knew full well that in a contest like this, the Old Line Doughfaces of the North would bow to the Slave power of the South, and not only suffer the extension of Slavery, but aid in establishing it there. What was then conjecture and speculation, is now matter of history actual experience has fully tested, proved and settled the matter.

pudcnce and audacity, to say that the bilJ would sccurc it freedom. This is done for no other purpose than that of party for this, for the loaves and fishes, they will sacrifice freedom, extend an evil whose giant powers already threaten the dissolution of the Union, and which all patriots and statesmen have regarded as a curse to both races. Freemen of the North, listen no longer to their deceitful song they would lull you to false security. False prophets and false pilots are they all—and would lead you to worship at the' shrine of false Gods.

Churches not Burnt.

The old liners are touched almost to tears, because their reports about the burning of the Catholic churches in Louisville Ky., were totally false, if the churches had been burnt, they would havo rejoiced, but old liners are badly beaten, and no churches burnt, and their eyes overflow witJ bitter tears.

jSSrLook out for blood and thunder, raw-head and bloody-bones—-mobs, riots., murders, and monstrous-deeds of darkness in the Review of this week, but remember it is an old line paper, he, will charge all sorts of base cohduct on the American par-ty-of Ky., butiie caaMell the truth on Amer

MR. EDITOR, Dear Sir: Please insert the following in your paper and much oblige a Friend.

The Ristine House which has become very popular with the travelling community, set the finest Dinner on Saturday 28th, that I ever stt down to in the State. Mr. Hough is decidedly a popular Landlord and deserves a larger house and the patronage of the travelling community, for his close attention, and gentlemanly conduct.

Who is Responsible for the Riot. This is a question which must be answered. There is a terrible responsibility somewhere, and the proper parties, let them be who they may, must bear it— One thing at least is now. known. The foreigners in this city, more especially the Catholio Irish, from some cause and instigation were armed to the teeth, and used their arms from houses, behind barriers, and from their skulking places,' have shot down remorselessly, unoffending citizens as they passed in the slreets. Of the terrible, tlfe horrible consequences of these assaults, we havo not the heart to speak. There is no language too strong. There is no language strong enough for its condemnation. It the duty, and the duty mus be sternly perwill be formed, of the Coroner to thorough ly investigate the facts and when the in quest is made we shall have more to say. —Louisville Journa1,
