O" We are authorised to announce ROBERT V. WILSON, as a candidate for Coronor, at the ensiling October Election.

American Republican Convention. The American Republican party will hold a Convention in this place on Saturday the 29th of this month. Able and brilliant speakers will bo present, among whom will be the Hon. Samuel W. Parker, the Hon. Mr. Combach, the Hon. Dan Mace, G. S. Orth, and our own Orators, II. S. Lane, and Jas. Wilson, Esq. Let every Republican, every American, whose heart glows with love to his country, come and join in the glorious jubilee. Come with your banners and glorious mottoes, which breathe the very spirit of Freedom—Come like meu tttiited for noble deeds and exalted principles—come and lift up your voices in behalf of Freedom, and strike manfully for the cause in which our Fathers so gallantly fought. Come patriots, one and all, and make th$|Sn&nu ring with your shouts for FrcedoiSOHpbg your wives, your daughters, and your sons—and the 29th will be a day sacred in memory.

The Old Line Convention. Saturday next will be the great day of Old Lineism in this county a day for the nomination of candidates for that party.— No efforts have been spared to secure a large attendance every possible means have been brought into requisition to bring together all who advocate the peculiar measures of Old Lineism. Meetings have been held and speeches made in every nook and corner of the county the music of file and drum, the cannon's roar and all the claptrap for which they are remarkable have been employed in arousing their party feelings and exciting party zeal, and we doubt net they will have a large crowd every man of them who can drag one foot after the other will be present. There will mingle in that crowd men of all political opinions and complexions, men- from every party that ever had an existence in our country. There will be a few old wliigs who strongly believe that all the dear liberties of our Republic are embraced and concentrated in the liquor traffic there will be the old line democrats, who ignorant of principle believe that the sum of all excellence is contained in the word democracy there will lib those who a few years ago presented a bold abolition front and desired the removal of "the scat of Government to fre-z soil there will be the old Federalist of blue-light memory there will be the ultra pro-sla-very-men of both North and South foreign voters will be there who are not yet American citizens according to the laws of our eoun who have not yet taken the oath of allegiance and who yet can claim the protection of a foreign power. There will be present those for whom the- "Pope is the proper authority to decide whether or not the Constitution of the United States is or is not according to the laws of God." There will be a few of those who profess temperance and many who oppose it.— The distiller, the rum-seller and those who would break down all laws for the observance of the Sabbath, and place upon our statutes laws like those observed in the darkest and bloodiest days of revolutionary France there will be present those who but a few months back were ready "to arm themselves in opposition to Catholics"—all will mingle, mingle, mingle, in one common crowd, and for what! Is it for purposes akin to those which animated the hearts and nerved the arms of our noble ancestry? Is it to promote the great ends

for

which this great fabric'of empire was established? Is it for the promotion of temperance, sobriety, freedom and all the higher interests of man? Nay, verily, it is to open upon us the flood gates of intemperance, to renew again that mighty enginery for evil, tlio liquor traffic it is to foster in our midst a foreign political power which may be used for the overthrow of our liberties and the destruction of our Government, and to extend the institution of slavery over territory consecrated to freedom by our Fathers, and fasten a blight and a curse upon lands as fair and as beautiful as any upon which the sun in his circuit has ever shone. Well may the patriot tremble, for the fate of his country when he beholds such masses drawn together for such purposes, well may lie look with dark forebodings upon the future when he beholds men kneeling at the shrine of party itlio should be worshippers at the altar of

their country—and although defeat awaits them, they exert a powerful influence for evil whiph shoul^be devoteil to better and nobler purposes.

Their object in getting up so large a crowd is to strike terror into the Republican party and tlras secure a triumph, but vain and fruitless will be the effort-.' The Republican party is composed of men with strong nerves and stout hearts—they have given their banner to the breeze and resolved for victory. Onward, onward and upward is their watchword. With freedom, toleration, and the right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience as their motto they go forth to battle with an abiding faith of success yea, already do they catch the sounds of triumph as thty come swelling up from the masses who will yet shout forth a mighty and glorious anthem of freedom.

A Cowardly Dodge.

At the recent Old Line Convention held at Indianapolis, another platform was erected, but not one'word said on the subject of temperance, not a single resolve made against the Prohibitory Liquor Law. In all their primary meetings they have resolved that it was odious, tyranical, oppressive and should be repealed. In all their speeches they have denounced it in unmeasured terms, as the very essence of tyrany, but when assembled in the capacity of a State Convention, they are perfectly mum. And when asked the cause of this silence, oh, they say, it is a law now and no use of making an issue. Rather a sudden and new idea this. And is not the Kansas bill a law? Why then make an issue on onelaw and not on another? And is it not a law that foreigners may vote in this State in twelve months? Then why make an issue on this question. Doughfaces and cowards are ye all on this question. Old Liners are not to be trusted. They are after the loaves and fishes, and they care not how obtained. Out upon such, bare-faced hypocrisy.

Sad Affair with the Old Line Cannon. On Saturday last the Old Liners had a Convention at Brownsville, and in order to make a noise took down their Cannon.— They fired once and attempted to re-load immediately. Mr. Bacchus was ramming down the cartridge, when it suddenly went off and mutilated his right hand and arm in so severe a manner as to render amputation above the elbow necessary. Mr. B. is a poor man, has a family and is thus, by extreme folly, rendered a cripple for life. The firing of that cannon will not make a single vote, will not. promote the bad cause a single iota, and has resulted only in evil. The injurod man wo believe is a Foreigner by birth, whom old liners are forever flattering and courting, or urging into difficulty and then leave them to work themselves out. •They flatter the foreigner to his face and curse him at his back.

$grThe Old Line paity. have repudiated the Declaration of Independence, and pronounced the greatest production of the immortal Jefferson, "a self-evident LIE."

They have disregarded the advice of Washington and Jefferson, relative to foieign influence.

They have used all the powers of their party and of the present administration to foster, protect and extend the institution of slavery and make it national.

They have suffered the administration to become a tool in the hands of a Missouri mob for the purpose of making Kan.vas a slave State.

They have abjured freedom as National and bowed the neck to the South. They have instigated the most bloody riots that ever disgraced the annals of our country.

They have excited that sectional strife which now rages between the North and the South, and arrayed themselves under the banner of slaveiy.

jt^sTSome of the Old Liners, we understand, having become tired of the free institutions of our country, weary .with American freedom, are contemplating a removal to Canada, that they may become the free subjects of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. We have long known that they were rather British in all their notions, that they have been disposed to iucourage British interests rather than American, but were not aware that they desired to become real red-jacket and genuiue British subjects. We can assure them that their loss will not be deeply felt. But few tears, unless it be tears of joy will be shed at their departure.

We can even now see them on their winding way, to the Queen's realms singing as they go,

Having in our hearts all British blood, Wc leave our country for our country's good.

A Good. Opportunity for Explanation. Since the passage of the Kansas and Nebraska bill a difference of opinion has existed between the old linere of the North and South as to the powers conferred by that bill. In tho. North they contended that slave-holders had no right to take their slaves to those Territories. The Southern people contended that||hey had tho right, and acted upon that belief. Now Mr. Carpenter i3 from a slave State, and can doubtless give the opinions of Southerners as to their right to take their slaves into Kansas, and whother or not they believe that slavery has a legal existence there. That slaveiy is there none can doubt. If not there legally, who is sponsible? and hov/ came it there,?.

The Bristle Ridge Military Company. The Bristle Ridgers have recently organized a Military Company composed mostly of old liners. After receiving arms and adopting and purchasing a uniform, they passed a by-law that 110 Know-Nothing, Abolitionist, or Freesoiler should belong to the Company whereupon'three of the Company acted the part of true Americans and resigned, declaring that they would belongto no Military Company that would proscribe men for their political opinions.

If we mistake not this by-law is contrary to the laws of our State, and the arms can be taken from the Company. We are not aware of any law which provides that the Military shall be placed exclusively in the hands of old liners.

This by-law is the direct and legitimate result of old line teachings. Give their leaders but half a chance, and thev will excite mobs like those of which they were guilty in Louisville and other places

It is expected that Mr. CARPENTER

of Ivy., will be the principal speaker at the old line convention on Saturday next, and wo understand that the principal topic of his speech will be the American question. As Mr. Carpenter is doubtless a man of superior intellect and extensive information, we would be glad to-hear him explain a few knotty points in history "Many of our American citizens in this State believe that the Romish Church, as such, has invariably been tho enemy of free Governments, and of all the popular Institutions of which Americans feel so justly proud. If such a feeling bo wrong, Mr. Carpenter can easily set the matter right by pointing us to tho history of the Nation, living or dead, in which Catholic sway has been undisputed, where Free Schools, a free Pr6ss, trial by Jury, the ballot box, an open Bible and an untrammelled conscience liavo been vouched-safc to the people."

There arc many too, who would be glad to hear Mr. Carpenter on the doctrine of the Romish Church as expressed by Mr. 0. A. Brownson, who says that "the Pope is the proper authority to decide for him whether or not the Constitution of the United States is in accordance with the laws of God, and if the Pope decides that it is, then he will sustain, and cannot sustain it without the Pope's sanction."

J&ST Messrs. BJ.AIU & BEOWX have recently purchased-A1 Ramey's entire Stock of Goods, and will continue the business in the room formerly occupied by Mr. Rainy. Mr. Brown has gone East where he will purchase a fresh and large Stock of Goods. We bespeak for them a liberal share of patronage.

NEW GROCERY STORE.—See tbe advertisement of Messrs. Hall & Johnson, in another column. These gentlemen have just opened up in the room recently occupied by H. Ball, as a Stove Tin Store, a large and complete Stock of family Groceries of all kinds, and are determined nono shall undersell them. They also hold themselves in readiness at all times, to pay the highest prices for all kinds of Produce, Wheat, &c. Give them a call.

CIGARS & TOBACCO.—Call at tho Tobacco Store of W. B. KEENEY. He has rjeeived a fresh stock, viz: Lady's Finger, Koh-i-noor, Virginia Cavindish, fine c. Honey-Dew, Rough & Ready and William's Can Chewing Tobacco. Also an extensive assortment of Cigars—the finest in the market.

[COMMUNICATED.]

The Republican Rally at Alamo. On Saturday last we had the pleasure of attending the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of tho Republicans of Ripley township over convened at Alamo. Some five hundred persons were present, and were addressed by JAS. WILSON, and THOMAS O. ORSEORN, Esqs. Mr. Wilson held his intelligent audience chained by the power of his eloquence for a space of two hours and a half. His speech was acknowledged by all to be one of his most powerful efforts. His arguments on the three great questions of tho day, were strong and convincing— his eloquence towering, noble, and soul inspiring. Even the Anties acknowledged his speech throughout, irrefutable. It will long live in the hearts of those who heard it.

Mr..Orsborn's speech was not so lengthy, but it was pregnant with good sense, beautiful and thouching flights of eloquence.—• Of course it was interspersed with the usual amount of anecdotes, which were very applicable. It was just the thing to wind up on. Judging from tho spirit manifested on that occasion, Ripley township may be set down as No. 1 for Anti-Nebraska, Prohibition, and Native Americanism. Tho boys are at work just right in Old Ripley. We hope when the Election is over, to hear that this ill-fated cornor of Montgomery County will be redeemed from tho thralldom of Whiskey, Slavery, and Catholicism. Ripley intends sending a large delegation to the Convention of the 29tli.— Look out for big wagons, music, and banners from Alama. A.

From tho New York Tribune.

AWFUL RAILROAD SLAUGHTER!

MASSACREE ON THE CAMDEN AND AND AMBOY RAILROAD.

TWENTY PERSONS KELLED SEV-ENTY-FIVE OTHERS MUTILATED!

PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday, Aug. 29. The train which left here at 10 o'clock for New York ran over a horse near Burlington, and was thrown from the track. It is reported that six lives were lost, including the engineer, firemaiM breakman," and baggagemaster, but v. hive no particulars. A train has been disftjjtched: for the scene of the disaster with sipgeons from Camden. The 8 o'clock train from NewYork will come via Taconey, the road being blocked up so as to prevent trains coming this way.

SECOND DISPATCH.

The accident occurred two miles above Burlington. The up-train waited at Burlington for the down-train (which was behind them) ten minutes, and then went on slowly. There was a vehicle at the crossing, the driver of which waited until the train passed up, when he started to cross the track. The engineer, at the same time hearing the down-train approaching, suddenly reversed his engine, and in comcoming back encountered the vehicle, which was instantly crushed in pieces—its occupants, however, escaping as by a miracle without very serious injury. The whole train, however, was thrown from the track.

One car ran completely through the next car, killing or maiming nearly all the passengers in it. We'nave tho names of the following among the killed Catharino Bigelow, John Dullan, D. F. Haywood, Thomas J. Meredith, Edward M. Green, G. W. Ridgway, C. M. Barclay, a female, Edward C. Bacon, Wilson Kent, Alexander Kelley—(most of the foregoing belenged to Philadelphia M. J. Stoughton, Martin Connell of Wilmington, Det. Jacob Howard of Lebanon, Tenn. Harry Rush of Georgetown College Captain Boyce of theU. S. Navy, together with his wife Jas. Lincoln of Ellicott's Mills, Md. Charles Bottom, of Trenton, N. J.

The wounded arc said to number seventy, and among thom, Ave understand, are two daughters of Captain Boyce, who, with his wife, was killed.

THIRD DISPATCH.

Captain (or Mayor) Boyce was connected with tho Coast Survey. Thomas J. Meredith and John Dallam belonged to Baltimore. Edward M. Green is not among the killed. Mrs. Margaret Prescott, of Salem, N. J., (wife* of the Rev, Mr. Prescott,) Baron de St. Andre, French Consul of Phila., and Catharino Brown, (colored,) were also killed.

Among the wounded we have tho names of William C. McClay, member of Congross from New-York, seriously Mr. Fisk of Connetticut, John F. Gillespie and wife of Natchez, Miss., both seriously Mrs. King of Charleston, Va., Mr. S. Back of Pittsburgh, John Kelly of do., badly Mr.

Kent of Mississippi, Samuel Lamb of Ohio, ,, tho Hon. Wm. Whealan of the Naval Bti-!

rea„, Washington Com. Jcwep M. Smith,

nn.t

Spencer McCorkle of the Coast Survey Mrs. Hastan of Jersey City, Dennis O'Kane of tho District of Columbia, H. A. Hughes of Shankland's Express, Charles W. Oldenburg!) of Philadelphia.

Mrs. Barclay, among the dead, was the wife of Clement C. Barclay ot.Vhiladelphia, on her way to Europe. Master Ingersoll, son of Lieutenant Ingersoll of Philadelphia, died at Bristol, where he was com oyed, subsequent to tho disaster.

When the down-train (from New-York) was stopped, it was within one hundred feet of tho wrecked or Philadelphia train. The vehicle which caused the accident to the up-train was driven by Dr. Hannington, and contained also hia wife and two children, all cf whom escaped with but trifling injury. Both horses were instantly killed. The doctor was hard of hearing, and did not hear or see the returning train. Having seen the train pass up, he thought all was safe.

Drs. Gaunt, Trimble, Chaloner and Butler of Burlington Brothers Briant of Beverly Lingstreet and Cook of Bordentown Reed and Stratton of Mount Holly Ronan and Cullom of Camden, and Pugli and Wetherell of Philadelphia, were in attendance administering to the wounded.

The ladies of Burlington were devoted to tho assistance ot the wounded. Tho train being, on the move backward, the engineer did not see the horses and carriage, and was not aware of the collision until he saw one of the carriage-wheels lying on the track as tho engine passed over it. The conductor saw the horses and carriage and apprehended that the train would strike them, but the bell-rope was out of order, so that he could not warn tho engineer. Ho started through the cars, for the purpose of doing this in person, but was too late, and the car and horses struck before he could get there. The concussion threw tho first passenger car off the track and down an embankment eight or ten feet hicli. and wiih the momentum that tlis train had at the time, tne UCIkt two passenger cars were drawn down, one after tho other, on top of the first, while the fourth was thrown clear over all of them with tremendous force. The fourth passenger car became detached from the baggage car, and this, together with the engine and tender, was left on tho embankment above, and very little injury was done to these cars or those who occupied them.

The four passenger cars which wont down the embankment were literally broken into fragments, and the wood-work of them was reduced to- pieces, none of which were over four inches wide, every panel having been crushed apart.

Here followed a scene which those who beheld it represent as truly appalling—one that would" shake the strongest nerves and sicken the stoutest heart. The cries of the mangled human beings who were buried beneath that chaotic wreck of material almost palsied tho senses and disabled the arms of the few who were so fortunate as to be able to render assistance. Those, however, who could extricate themselves and were not disabled by injuries, assisted by the residents in the vicinity, set themselves to work to remove their unfortunate companions from the ruins. It was some time, though, before their task was completed, timbers, iron wheels and axles being piled upon them in a confused mass and, also,, there were two nianf who could not appreciate their labor, who felt not the heavy weight upon them—they were dead. Those who were got out aliye were, almost

without expectation, injuyed in a greater or {ens' degree—and many were so seriously hurt that their lives were despaired^ of,- and the injuries were of every description and character imaginable. There were broken legs and arms, half scalped-heada and-frac-tured sculls, and every conceivable kind of flesh wounds.

Among the killed was a middle-aged lady who was traveling in company with a daughter of about 14 or 15 year The body of the mother was removed from the spot on a bier, followed by the stricken child, bedewing the path she trod with tears of the ^ntensest greif.

Another lady, who was supposed to be from Peterson, had her head severed from tho body, and they were found a few feet apart, with the hat still upon the head and the ribband still unfastened from about the chin.

A man who attempted to escape by jumping was caught between the cars as they went ovar the embankment, and his body completely cut in two just above the hips.

A train was sent down to the scene of the disaster from Burlington, and the dead bodies, together with the wounded that had not been conveyed to residences in the vicinity, were taken to the Burlington depot. Here the dead were covered with blankets to await the Coroner's investigation, and every aid that humanity could furnish was rendered to the injured sufferers.

The Old Line State Convention. The Daily Sentinel of Thursday contains, the full accounts of the doings of tho Old Line Convention, the previous day. Judge Alvin P. Hovey was President of the Convention, assisted by the following:

Vice Presidents—Daniel Dale, of 10th Dist. Judge Groves, of tho 9)h Dist. Thos. J. Howard, of tfie 2d Dist. Jacob Wynne, of 8th Dist. James Osborn, of 5th Dist. Jas. M. Sleeth, of 6th Dist. Andrew Humphreys, of 7th Dist. Z. Tannyhill, of 3d Dist. Dr. Bray, of 1st Dist., and Jas. A. Lewis, of 11th Dist.

Secretaries—J. B. Normam, of Floyd, Geo. W. Lane of Dearborn, Wm. E McLean of Vigo, and John W. Dodd, of Gant.

Hon. J. E. McDonald moved that a Committee of one from each Congressional District, be appointed to report resolutions, which was adopted, and the following committee appointed: J. E. McDonald, C. K. Drew, P. M. Dent, S. H. Buskirk, J. WT. Spencer, Edmund Johnson, A. F. Morrison, W. M. Franklin, Robert Lowry Samuel Irlall and John W. Dodd.

The following is the platform reported by Mr. McDonald, & unanimously adopted by the Convention:

WHEREAS, AS WE haye^ assembled here to-day as a Mass Meeting of the: National Democracy of Indiana, wo deem it more appropriate to postpone adopting any resolutions upon State policy until our next State Convention shall be called to nominate candidates for State offices.

Resolved, That we claim with pride the name of National Democrats—that wo are

Pf"

saoes ot the Resolution, in the

Declaration of Independence, and in the

Constitution of tlie United States. Our

the foundations of the Universe Resolved, That we announce our continued hostility to all secret political societies and organizations, as being inimical to the genius of our institutions, and revolting to the pride and manly spirit of a free and intelligent people. That we deeply deplore tho frequent scenes of riot, outrage, murder, arson, aad desolation which have been occasioned by these worse than Jacobin organizations and that wo appeal to every man who values a good reptation and an honorable name among his fellow men, to lose no time in separating himself from so foul a conspiracy for he that counsels and associates with men who commit these most revolting crimes, is a participator in their guilt and morally, if not legally, responsible for their acts.

Resolved, That we hereby proclaim our decided hostility to the principles and conduct of that sectional and fanatical party, known as Abolitionists who have so recently unferled their banner of Abolitionism and Disunion throughout the Northern States. That we view their proceedings with increasing apprehension, of great injury to the peace and prosperity of our common country, and as being diametrically opposed to the provisions and requirements of the Constitution of the United States, which, if violated, as they propose, must bring the dreadful result of Disunion, Civil War, the ruin of our beloved country and the destruction of the last pilar which sustains the temple of Liberty on earth.

Resolved, That we most positively and unequivocally condemn and oppose all attempts to control by force and violence the right of free suffrage of citizens at the polls either in the States or Territories of this Union. The will of the people properly expressed is the highest law, but if that expressed lie sufed Or*

defeated there

who legally'claims to bo an American citizen. There is the platform—and such another platform! We have read the document carfully about twice, and. if there is a sentiment in the whole of it, conflicting with the platform of the Republican party, we have not yet made the discover)'. It does not endorse the administration of Frank Pierce. It don't endorse Gov. Wright, Senator Pettit or Bright. It don't even endorse Stringfellow or Atchison, Douglas, or any body else. It has not a word to say about temperance, midnight asssasins, the white cravated gentry, itinerant vogabonds, or pot-bellied Methodist sisters —topics which were considered of national importance by these same old liners only one year ago. Tho platform is the veriest fiddle faddle, nonsensical, non compus mentis sort of a document we have read for many a day. It is a regular know nothing document—nothing admirable or objectionable about it—nothing positive or negative—neither virtue nor vice. It favors nobody, and opposes nobody but images of straw of its Own manufacture. We could stand on it, and so could everbody else, if there were any thing to stand on.

and all other forms of disease

which have a common origin in Malaria or Mias-r,,. ma. This is a NATURAL ANTIDOTE which will' entirely protect any res dent or traveller even in the most sickly or swampy localities, from any Ague or Billious disease whatever, or any injury iroiu constantly inhaling Maiaria or Miasma.

It will instantly cheek the Ague in persons who have suQ'ered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, so that they need never to have another chill, by continuing in use according to directions. The patient at once begins to recover appetite and strength, and continues until a permanent and radical cure is effected. [Cf One or two bottles will answer for ordinary cases some may require more. Directions printed in German, French and Spanish, accompany each bottle. Price one dollar. Liberal discount nude to the trade.
