j6^*The Old Liners profess to bo genuine temperance men, temperance men of the right stamp they have resolved that "intemperance is a great moral tfhd social evil demanding some restraint by the power of law." During the past year they had much to say about moral suasion men should be persuaded, not driven, not abused. To hear their speeches, one would have supposed that they had a full under standing of the entire moral law, that they wore inspired by some higher power to in struct not only the Laity but Ministers of the Gospel, to expound the Bible and unfold all its mighty and glorious principles. Oh! with what unearthly love did their warm hearts glow when pleading before the "dear people," for their suffrages? What strains of eloquence gushed from theirjlips in eulogy of the dear blessed sov~ reigns of the land, how did they yearn to do them good and promote their best interest! But the election haa passed, the victory won and what now is the burden of their song? What and where the efforts of their leaders to advance the interests of the people, promote their morals and stay the desolating tide of intemperance? Are they abroad among the Irish Shanties where drinking and drunkenness is so common, using the power of morul suasion to restrain the burning appetites of Erin's sons? Do they gather them in crowds or take them singly and portray the evils of drinking, upon themselves, their wives and children? Do they attempt lo reclaim and make sober men of them? Do they visit them in their miserable hovels and endeavor to make good industrious, sober citizens of them? Do they appeal to them (as they appealed to them for their votes) in winning accents to shun the dram-shops and abstain from liquor?

Are these old line orators who love the people so dearly, active in sustaining those benevolent institutions which go to ameliorate the condition of man? Do they put forth the slightest effort to roll back the dark and desolating tide of intemperance which they have caused to sweep over our land? In what corner of the earth, in what city, town or village do we hear their voices pleading for temperance? Silent indeed are they on this "great moral and social evil sealed are their lips faint, yea very faint and feeble are their efforts to promote the cause of temperance. Were all men as silent as they, not a whisper in favor ef temperance would be heard amid the shoutings and revelhngs of almost universal drunkenness Were no greater efforts put forth for the elevation of man than are used by them, the world would rapidly siuk into the darkness of moral death and become as vile and corrupt as were those whom God swept away with a general deluge as too corrupt to soil with their impious feet the virgin earth.

Not only are they silent and indifferent on the temperance reformation, but they actually seem lo rejoice in the downfall of those who had for a time abandoned their intemperate habits. How often has it occurred in our own community that men who have, for a time, been redeemed from drunkenness, restored to sobriety and the correct exerciso of their judgment, left the old line party and gave all their energies to the promotion of abettor cause and how often has it occurred that these same men, having again taken to their cups, dethroned Teason by the maddening influence of "firewater," sunk into the gross immoralities of habitual drunkekness, have again united with the old line party becoming more and more abandoned until scarcely a ray of hope is left for their reformation. Yea, it has become proverbially true that an intemperate man is lost whenever he attaches himself to the old line party.

Elkhart County Times.

This is a new weekly paper just issued lV Messrs. J. M. DEFREES & R. D. GILLEOK, and edited by J. M. DEFREES, who is well known in this place and was a member of the graduating class of Wabash College, of 1854. The Times is one of th® neatest and most handsomely executed papers in our State, and is edited with a gpirit and ability which give promise of doing a good work in the cause of Republicanism.

We congralulate our young friend that he has made so auspicious a beginning and hope that the star of prosperity may ever! shine upon bis pathway and that ho may live to see the principles he now advocates triumphrnt in our glorious land. I

jftfrOnr thanks are-doe Messrs. -Colfax and CCHBACK, for public doumentr.

Jfissfftoi i* We would be glad if the old line leaders of this county would go to Waynetown, in thia county, and observe the influence of miserable low doggery kept there by one of their Irish friends whom they are no anx ions to hita the privilege of voting in one year after their arrival in the U. S., or six months in Indiana. Just observe the de basing, demoralizing, corrupting, brutalizing influence exerted by that one Irish Doggery. Observe tho drunken men who leave their business and desert their families, and thus send daggers to tho hearts of their wives aud children. See boys who have been tempted to drink of the miserable whisky until beastly drunk, all bruised with falls from their horBes and in danger of freezing to death. Listen to the vile, filthy and vulgar language which issue from those who throng the doggery day and night. Can it be that men endowed with reason, with immortal minds are thus debasod, thus brutalized, thus lost to all that is noble, elevated and pure can it be that these miserable creatures are men? How pitiable their condition how groveling how unfit for a republican Government how the soul is marred and blaeked how enslaved the mind and palsied all its powers! Can they be husbands, fathers or friends? Like brutes they live—like brutes they die. •.'

They are the slaves and subjects of that old line Irish liquor seller. He administers the poisonous draughts which have wrought these dire and terrible effects and he does so by the authority of two of the old line Supreme Judges of Indiana. The old line party have caused the establishment of these engines of moral, mental and physical destruction throughout the length and breadth of our State, but they are engines which will yet destroy many of their own households their own sons will fall and perish—perish at the hands of the bloody liquor dealer, their authorized murderer. Reader, these are the direct, the inevitable, the legitimate results of old lineism.

jJ3T"Soine of the old lino scribblcrs write very flippantly about the desire of the Republican party to sacrifice the happiness of the entire white population of our country for the benefit of the three millions of southern negro slaves. Indeed they state in so many words that such is the fact.— What superlative nonsense! What trashy scribbling! Wo pity the head that could dictate or the heart that could approve such stuff. It would be well for them and well for our country, if by soma chemical process a little good brains could be infused into their craniums.

If such writers have any intellect at all, if they are possessed of the least reflection, they know their statements to be false, totally false, and calculated to effect mischief, only mischief and that continually. There is a vast difference between the desire to prevent the extension of a great and acknowledged evil ami the wish to sacrifice the happiness of twenty-six millions of whites for that of three millions of slaves, and if these old line writers have not brains enough to perceive it, it is no fault of ours—they are to be pitied.

The Republican party desire to advance the interests and elevation of all men

aand

all parts of our common country they would gladly see the condition of the slave improved, his morals elevated, his intellect enlightened, his mind stimultaed to higher and nobler activity. They delight not in the oppression of any man or any set of men, any race or nation, and their highest glory would be to see our own beloved government freed from every evil, her skirts free, pure and unsullied, untarnished by national crimes or national evils, the proud model Republic of the world, the light of nations, the hope of millions, the pillar of fire to guide earth's teeming inhabitants in the pathway of peace, happiness and prosperity. Such is our creed and such the ends for which we labor.

"Thy Sins will find Thee out." It is a natural impossibility that young men can drink at night or play cards on tho Sabbath, without being found out.— If there are those guilty of these practices we would say pause, beware a fatal passion is seizing upon you—a passion cruel as tho grave, which urges, and clamors, and will listen to no denial a poison which is pushing you on to the verge of that mighty cataract in which thousands have been engulphed. Pause, young man, ere it is too lato.

/2TWhen did the old line party pass a resolution repudiating that peculiar kind of Fusion or practical Abolitionism which they so warmly sustained in the person of one of their former Vice Presidents of the United States? If the gallant old Col. were here now living, would they support him for high official stations? We pause for a reply.

J5TThe Convention which nominated Mr. Willard, passed a resolution against the New State Bafik, and yet Gov. Willard is a large stock-holder in that institution. If it is so bad an institution as declared by this resolution why does he sustain it as a man? Why tako stock in it? I Is he honest in publicly coodejaaing it or "ftivfttely sustaining it?

Arc thoy acting in accordance with the spirit of our institutions in endeavoring to foist the .will of a feeble minority upon Congress If the old Liners elect a speaker he must be a minority speaker, or be elected by bargain and intrigne. If the Southern KnowNothings elect their man the same may be said of him, and if we are to adhere to the spirit of Government, the Republican can didate is the only mau who should be elected

For the old liners to insist upon the election of Richardson after the severe condemnation of the Administration by tho American people is the extreme of impudence. But they still cling to their old doctrine, RULE on KUIN

JSTThe Washington Globe has some strong intimations that the friendly relations now existing between thia country and Great Britain are in imminent danger of being ruptured. England is already at war with Russia, which brings into requisition all her military resources, and would seem hardly possible that sho could be guilty of such suicidal policy as to rush into a war with the United States. Nothing would sooner cripple her energies and destroy her power. Dark and terrible will.be that day for England when she sunders the tics which now bind her to this country. Her glory and her strength will pass away her invincibility be lost, and her prowess will no longer be a prestige of success.

jdrMr. Willard, old line candidate for Governor, opened the canvass in a speech at Lafayette on the 16th inst.

Mr. Willard is a fine declaimor, earnest and impressivo in his manner, and has a fine flow of language. It is generally known that ho has been intemperate in his habits, but we understand he has promised to abstain. The people generally would be glad to know HIS opinion of Judge Perkins' opinion of the Prohibitory Law.

People's Convention.

At a meeting of tho Statej^ntral Com mittee of the People's party of the State of Indiana, held on the 3&d instant in India napolis. it wis resolved that the "following Call for a State Convention be published: To the People's Party of the State ana.

There will bo held on Thursday the First day of May, A. D. 185$, a Mass Conven tion of the People's Party of the State of Indiana to nominate candidates for Gov ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer of State, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Clerk and Reporter of the Suprenie Cbnrt,

The State Central Committee in making this call would suggest that there are many considerations which give importance to this Convention, aside from the nominations. The corrupt and treacherous repeal of the Missouri Compromise^ tho unwarrantable and unconstitutional efforts of the Government to extend Slavery into tho territory made free by that compromise, the evident determination of the Government to nationalize that dangerous and sectional institution, and the enormities committed in the name of the law, justified by the Executive of the nation and endorsed by the party in power, call aloud for resistance. The threats1 of disunion and nullification with such endorsement.should arouse every patriot.

The extravagance of the General Gov ernment, unparalleled in its history, the wasting of millions of the public money, demand an accounting at the hands of a plundered nation. The bartering of public trusts for the foreign vote, and the surren der of the whole power of the State into the hands of the subjects of foreign Kings, claim from the People instant reform and thorough amendment. By an arbitrary and despotic exercise of power, our people have been stripped of the protection of law, and disfranchised in the Councils of the Nation. We have no law for the apportionment of Representatives-—none to shield us from the ravages of Intemperance—but one Senator in Congress at this momentous crisis in our national affairs. It is to be considered whether the people will tamely submit to this robbing of their rights, and this trampling upon their will expressed, by a majority numbering thousands of the best men of the State.

The heavy taxation under our State Government requires a strict investigation, and a reform in the prodigality of the past is loudly demanded. The money as well as the power of the people has been stolen from them by demagogues. It remains for them to awake and resume what is, and ever has been rightfully their own.

The Convention recommended that an early and thorough organization be effected in every county—-that large delegations attend at the day appointed by us to unite in common consultation as to the best means to secure the public welfaie.

JAMES BLAKE, Chairman.

WM. WALLACE, Scc'y.

To the People of the State of Indiana, In consequence of the recent decision of tho Supreme Court, in effect annulling the law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor as a beverage, the undersigned members of the "State Central Temperance Committee," at the request of many friends, have deemed it advisable to call a convention of all the men of Indiana who favor the cause of temperance, and have fixed for the day of the convention, the 22d of February, A. D. 1856, and for the place, Indianapolis.

We believe that it is the earnest desire of the people of Indiana to eradicate the evils of inlemperanco by a sound & offective law, and that they ore ready, by all lawful and honorable mean3, to secure that end that they are well convinced that moral suasion without law, is insufficient to carry out the temperance reformation, and that nothing but just such a law can.

Year after year thousands have petitioned the Legislature for such a law, thousands have organized into associations, have expended their means have devoted their time and all their energies to accomplish that purpose.

It has become apart of the policy of our State, in obedience to the will of the majority, and to those loud and repeated calls, twice within the last five years, have the representatives of the people enacted iaws restraining the free traffic in intoxicating drinks—-twice have the Supreme Court declared them void—twice has a flood of disorder, misery, drunkenness, disease, crime and death, been poured upon the unwilling and unoffending heads of our citizens.— They are thrown again upon their native and inalienable right of self defence! Again they must assemble and organize and petition. A new legislature is to be elected— anew law is to be enacted. Not till then will tho reign of order and sobriety be restored. The brief experience since the annulling of the law, has proved this to every reasoning mind. The riots, murders, and arson, the delirium and death, that stalk abroad in community tell this. The voice of humanity, and the cries of tho afflicted, equally declare this to be true.

Therefore, the undersigned have deemed it expedient that the people again should meet in convention, to concert measures in accordance with their fixed and unalterable purpose that Indiana shall be a temperance State.

We do most earnestly recommend to the people immediate action in the premises— that they call meetings, revive their temperance societies, establish new ones and unite in sending full delegations at the time we have designated. Let not the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, tho Social Orders, the Degrees, and the Templars, bo unrepresented in a meeting so important and vital well being of Indiana.

We further request all papers friendly to the cause of temperance throughout the State, to publish this call immediately.

Dr. C. M.

I used a great deal of medicine, with no apparent change, until I used your "Hoofland's German Bitters." They have entirely cured me. I am now entirely free from pain and ache of any kind, and feel like anew man in every respect, and unhesitatingly recommend your Bitters to all invalids.

LETTER FROM HON. JOHN MINOR :-r-' BOTTS, OF VIRGINIA. Richmond, July 9th, 18o5. Messrs. WM. S. BEERS FE CO.

Gentlemen:—Considerations of duty to the afflicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary testimonial to the great value of CARTER'S SPANISH MIXTURE for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula.

Without being disposed, or deeming it necessary, to go into the particulars of the case, I can say that tho astonishing results that have been prodhced by that medicine, on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of the best physicians had been exhausted, and all the USUHI remedies had failed, fully justify me in recommending its use to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady.

I do not mean fo say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or thai it will afford the same relief in all cases for, of course, I can know nothing about that—but frtiTQ what I have seen of the effects, I would not hesitate to use it in any and every case of Scrofula, with persons for whom I felt an interest, or over whom I could exercise influence or control.

Resp'tly yours, JNO. M. BOTTS: Jan. 31,1856—24-1m
