TEMPERANCE COUNTY

CONVENTION!

There will bo a Convention of the Temperance Party of this County, held at the Couit House, in Crawfordsville, on

Saturday, the 16th inst.,

For the purpose of appointing Delegates! to the Stato Temperance Conventior. The Committee earnestly request that I ench Township be fully represented.-

JBv ordei of the COMMITTEE.

Old Line Party and the Ministry. The old line party, more especially some of their editors and orators, have a very peculiar and somewhat strange idea of Ministers of the Gospel. The Minister who attends to the faithful discharge of his high mission, who earnestly advocates all the great moral raforms of the day, who pleads for the amelioration of the condition of man, who strives to advance the best intercnts of the human family, who points fallen man to that eternal home where the wickid cease from troubling and the weary are are at rest, who warns the young to shun the rock and quicksands on which thousands are wrecked aud lost, who preaches of righteousness, temperance and a judgment to come, and who exhibits in his daily walk and conversation the brightest traits of a christian character, such a Minister meets with no approving smile nor hears word of commoniation from some old line editors and orators. Nav, verily! he is held up as cn object of sc n, conlcinj.t and ridicule, a a man of infamous and despicab'e character, as a di.-turber of the peace and destroyer of hnman happiness.

On the contrary, when a Minister of the the Gospel becomes the advocate of free whiskey and negro slavery, when ho lends himself as the willing tool of corrupt and corrupting demagogues, when is willing to trample under foot all the sacred principles of his exalted mission, when he is a ready instrument in the performance of the dirty work of party organization, when he ceases to lisp inifcinning accents the sweat and pleasant thoughts of a pure Christianity and thunders forth the low and vulgar billingsgate of pot-house politicians, when he is ready to discard all that is pure, lovely and wholy, which pertains to this life or that which is to come when he is willing to smile and smile upon the dark debaucheries and damning crimes of the liquor traffic, and look with hypocritical complacency upon all the dirty works of worthless demagogues then is the voice of praise nounded in his ears by these old line editors and orators, then is he heralded forth USA model minister, his influence is salutaly, his example is to be observed and followed, his teaching to be heeded and received. In a word, such a Minister is regarded by them as the best instructor for the people of our country.

That the picture we have drawn is not too highly colored is amply proven by the history of our own State, for the last two years. The events which have transpired in that time, the speeches of old line editorials will bear us out in the statements made.

When the leaders of a party promulgate such, sentiments, and exercise all the power of their party organization to destroy the character of good men and crush the best institutions of our country it is full time that the people should bestir themselves and visit the demogogues with that indignation which their conduct so richly merit.

Fire!—On Saturday night of last week, our citizens were startled from their slumbering by the cry of fire and ringing of bells, when it was diecovered that the wood-house

"d k,tcl»n Uwlo tl« Ecs.dence of

J. D. Masterson, was on fire. A number of our citizens immediately repaired to the premises, and with much difficulty managed to save Mr. M.'s dwelling from being consumed. Much credit is due to those who, notwithstanding the extreme coldness of the weather, labored hard and faithfully in putting out the fire. We regret the loss which Mr. Masterson sustained, but are gratified to Team that it has been promptly met by the liberality of our citizens.

/grCampbell Co.. requests as to say to those whose accounts are ii'ow due, that they expect'prompt payments. It is to the interest of every customer to pay promptly. The lijw rates at which their goods are sold, will not justify in hireinga horse, and paying the expenses of a man to canvass the .cpunty to collect debts. *,,

W a E 1 8 0 7 Doctor HiLDRara, an old Physician of Marietta, Ohio, has recently written a brief sketch of the epidemics which followed the cold weather of 1807. The weather,during that winter was extremely severe. If we are not mistaken it was the 3d day of Feb. of 1807 wliich has been'called cold Friday, The present winter has been equally severe and the cold has continued longer than ever before experienced. Wc are notprepared to affirm that the cold was a cause of the I epidemics which followed but that it may have had some such effect may readily b« supposed. Whether or not the cold and epidemic stood in the relation of cause and effect, wc may learn a lesson of caution from the history of that year. It is regarded almost as an established fact in medical science, that deleterious gasses, commonly called miasmata, which ariso from the decomposition of vegetable matter, will generate disease. It generally and almost necessarily happens that a large amount of vegetable matter accumulates about our dwellings during a long continued cold spell in winter the slops which a.e thrown out suddenly freeze, and cannot be removed till thawed by the genial warmth of spring. Many vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage &e., will be frozen, and must rapidly decay when the covering of earth is removed and they are shone upon by the warm sun of spring. The gasses which are thus generated mingle with the atmosphere, are inhaled into the lungs, there como in contact with the blood, and thus a violent poison runs through the whole system, prostrating all its energies, and inducing severe disease.

The cold, dry weather of the present winter, i$ doubtless healthful and invigorating but in freezing large quantities of slops and vegetable substances which would otherwise have been drained or consumed, may contribute to the generation of gasses destructive tf health, and calculated to produce a fearful epidemic.

Wisdom then, would teach us to remove at as early a period as possible, all the decayed vegetable matter which may have accumulated about our dwellings and in our cellars and as lime is a good disinfecting agent, it would be well to sprinkle some in those places from which the decayed matter has been removed. If all our citizens will observe this precaution, if there is a thorough cleansing of the alleys and cellars, and all the decayed vegetables removed, we will be amply repaid in both health and comfort.

It cannot be expected that this severe cold will continue many weeks longer.— Winter will ere long relax his icy grasp, and the genial warmth of spring will be upon us. The human system long habituated to the bracing air of winter, will become relaxed by the balmy breath of spring, and will be readily impressed by the deli(erious gasses which arise from decaying matter. Each and every one then has a personal and general interest in the removal of every thing which may contribute to the generation of disease.

The health, comfort, and happiness of ourselves, our families, our neighbors, and our friends, demand of us an early attention to this important subject.

The Game Law in Illinois.

A law has lately gone into force in Illinois, imposing heavy fines upon any or all who may kill wild game during the cold weather of winter. Deer, quails, fec., become so poor and feeble for the want of proper food that they are caught and killed in great numbers, and sold in Chicago and other cities. The flesh of these animals at this time is considered unwholesome and much of it spoils before it can be used

The old liners of this State would doubtless pronounce such a law unconstitutional, an infringement upon the natural rights of the people, and a violation of all the privileges guaranteed by the constitution of our country. Their language on that subject would be the same they use on the liquor question If men are fools enough to eat poor, tainted, unwholesome wild meat, let them do it it is their right, and we have no right to prohibit them. They allow bad whiskey, and why not bad meat The evil effects of tainted meat are not one ten thousandth part as injurious as are the effects of loquor. If the good people of Illinois were blessed with such Supreme Judges as Perkins, Davidson & Co., the game law would not stand a moment longer than the Court could meet. These high tribunals of our state would place their approval upon bad meat as well as upon bad liquor.

This game law of Illinois declares what we shall have, or rather what we shall not have upon our tables, and if the Legislature has this power, how can it be that there is no authority to legislate upon liquor, which

prodira) traI1Sc,„diag

which arise from tainted meats. 'Tis well for Illinois that they have no such stupid Judges as Perkins and Davidson haveprov. en themselves to be,

10,000 Valentines!

H. PURSELL fc Br.o. have just received 1,000 Valentines, ranging from 5 cents up to $5 each, which they offer to "Young America" on fair terms. All those who wish anything of the kind would do well to call soon, as they are going off like "hot cakes,"

JST Our young friend FRANK HEATON, has on hand a fine assortment of beautiful Valentines, at the Post Office,- from 81 to $6' each. Call', gentlemen, and you will be sure to find something that will amuse, 'gratify, or "procure" you lady-love.

^Jtallard'a Punomnm of New York City. This work of art will be exhibited in this place on Thursday and Friday, 14th and 15th inst., at 7^- o'clock each evening, and Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. This magnificent painting has been exhibited at all the principal Cities in the Union. The Indianapolis Journal noticing it says "Wo know from the crowded houses it draws, at «ach exhibition, as well as from remarks we hear at every-corner, that it gives universal satisfaction.

The time occupied in the exhibition was two hours and wo do not hesitate in saying that a spectator would learn more of the city in that time, in viewing the Panorama and attending to the explanations given, than he would in peregrinating its streets for an entire week.

No one attending the exhibition of the Panorama will ever be heard to wish, he had his money back. Indeed he will have but little curiosity to visit the city itself as he will bo perfectly familiar with its appearance.

There is nothing connected with the Panorama which is in the least immoral or indecent, which makes it the favorite of all classes. But on the contrary it is highly instructive and useful in imparting information to persons wishing to visit the city. Take your family to see New York City.

JUST That almighty "puff" which the Review gave Messrs. Craig Mack's Cracker Machine last week, had a very bad effect. He piled it on so jthick that every body knew it to be a falsehood, and won't bite at the bait. Besides, every one who has tried their Crackers, know that they are not superior to those made after the old style. If you want good Crackers, go to John Doherty, and to Smith & Pullen.

jRiT The young gentleman who, on going from Church the other evening, unfortunately mistook a strange lady for one of his acquaintance, requests us to offer her an apology, and says he would be happy to form her acquaintance under more favorable circumstances.

The Temple of Honor.

MR. EDITOR :—I wish to call the attention of your readers to an article which appeared in last week's Review as an editorial, under the above caption, but which is generally believed to have been written by a certain very chivalrous young blood, who has for some time past been acting as subrosa under Count Bowen—doing up his little, dirty work generally. This ardent lover of scribbling, it seems, has at one or more times been a member of the Temple of Honor, and also of other similar Societies but has in every instance been expelled for repeatedly violating the solemn obligations imposed upon him by those Societies. llence the bitter denunciations and slanderous abuse heaped upon the Temple of Honor in the article alluded to.

In speaking of the Temple he says "It is an institution which is said to grow spontaneously in all dog-fennel towns." This is certainly a very high compliment to our prosperous young city, and will no doubt be the means of ingratiating him deeply in the affections of our citizens. To the above quotation we would add, for the benefit ol the author—he is a spontaneous production, which is said to flourish much the best in a Southern climate—owing we suppose, to the shortness of the seasons in this Northern country. This "bogus" specimen of the Santa Fee Stock is now ranging about as far below par, as the mercury is below zero.

Again he says "The leaders of the Temple in our town are all members of the Know-Nothing Order." This is really more than we could have expcctcd from an avowed enemy to the Temperance cause, but will prove most clearly what we have always argued, that the Know-Nolhing, or American party is emphatically the Temperance party, and the old liners most undeniably the whiskey party

In another sentence he says "We are the first to point out and expose the most dangerous, and the main thing [the Temple] that defeated us in 1854." All this wo most cheerfully admit. The Temple, the Sons, the Daughter* and the Cadets, all contiibuted their influence to tho great cause of Tcmperanco—and they reaped as the rich reward of their untiring labors the enactment of a stringent and wholesome Prohibitory law in our State. And now, to-day, but for such contemptahle "things in human shape" as the author of the article alluded to, and who compose a large number of the old line whiskey party, we would still be enjoying the rich and manifold blessings and benefits of that law.— He and his party alike are opposed to anything that has for its object the building up of Temperance and good morals in our midst, or the amelioration of the wretched, depraved condition of the drunkard and his bleeding, starving family.

They are opposed to tho Temple of Honor, and "all similar institutions," and for what Simply this—he because he had not moral courage or force of character sufficient to enable him to maintain his plighted faith as a member of the Temple, and his party because of their awful horror at the thought of losing the "loavs and fishes," and the "dear liberties" for which their fore-fathers fought, to-wit making, selling, and drinking whiskey Glorious land of Liberty All hail Judge Perkins and the old line party and last, though not least, the subrosa of the Review

BANKS ELECTED!

Threq Cheers for the Reyublican Party I

The plurality rule was adopted on Saturday, by a vote of 113 to 104, after which Banks wan elected by the following vote:

Banks 108, Aikin 10Q, Fuller 6, Campbell 4, Wells 1. Mr. Benson, one of the tellers, (hen declered that Mr. Banks was elected Speaker.

Deafening shouts of applause followed from the Republican side, and other quarters of tho House. The ladies in the galleries waved their handkerchiefs for several minutes* The disorder was beyond description. 1-

Mr. Clingtnan offered a resolution de-claring-that by roason of the adoption of the plurality rule and the vote taken under it Mr. Banks had been duly chosen Speaker and is thereby so declared. Passed by yeas 156, nays 39.

Several gentlemen explained. Though they had consistently voted against Mr. Banks, they felt bound as judges, not as doctors, to carry out tho above resolution.

Mr. Banks was, by request of the Clerk conducted to the chair by Messrs. Aikin, Fuller, of Pa., and Campbell, of Ohio.

Ho was greeted with loud, enthusiastic cheers, and amidst tho profound silence which followed said:

Gentlemen of tho House of representatives: In proceeding to complete the acceptance of the office which you have conferred upon myself, 1 must ask your indulgence ami express my obligations for the honor conferred upon me.

It would afford far greater pleasure were it accompanied even by the self-assurance that 1 would bring to the discharge of the arduous and delicate duties—always difficult, but now environed witlrunusual difficulties—a capacity commensurate with their responsibility and dignity.

I can only say, I shall bear myself so far as possible, with fidelity to the interests of the country and government, and with impaitiality so far as regards the rights of the members of this House. I have no personal objects to accomplish. 1 am animated by a single desire of contributing in some little degree to the maintenance of the well established principles of our government in their original American signification in the developing that portion of the continent we occupy, so far as may be within the power conferred on us enlarging and ewelling its capacity for beneficent influence at home and abroad, and maintaining in tact the inestimable privilegas transmitted to us. 1 am aware that neither myself nor any other mail is equal to the perfect accomplishment of the duties of the position therefore, as a man, I must be a suppliant for your indulgence and support. 1 again return to you my thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me. [Applause, deafening and long continued.

Mr. Giddings being the oldest member of tho House, administered the oath to Mr. Banks by request of tho clerk.

ARRIVAL O E ARABIA.

One Week Later from Europe.

Russia Agrees to Negotiate! HALIFAX, January 31. The Arabia from Liverpool bringing lo7 passengers, and dates to the 19th, arrived at Halifax last evening, at 9.30 P. M.

The Baltic arrived at Liverpool on Thursday, 17th, at 11 A. M. Four hours after leaving New York she encountered a terrific gale from N. !£., all day and night. She experienced severe weather all the passage.

The grand news of the week is that Russia agrees to negotiate on the terms proposed by tho Allies.

The final announcement was made at Vienna, and telegraphed to the London Times. Russia accepts the allied proposition, unconditionally. This is authentic. It caused immense excitement. Funds rose three per cent., cotton one fathing, and a panic reigned in other markets. Next day the Government published a dispatch from Minister Seymour, at Vienna, as follows: "Russia agrees to accept the Allies' proposals as a basis of negotiation." This qualified announcement curbed the excitement, and alarmists begin to fear that Russia merely seeks to gain time by deceptive negotiations. Meantime funds remain steady.

Nothiug important from the Crimea. The Invalide Russe publishes a dispatch from Gortchakoff, saying that a party of French, wearing white ducks, to prevent being seen in the snow, advanced by night and surprised Baidar, bayonetted one port and retreated when Russian reserve came

UP-

Sweeden continues warlike preparations. Copenhagen official Journal denies the existence of any circular repudiating the Swecdish alliance on the part of Denmark.

St. Petersburg letters say Marshal Paskicwitch has bequeathed as his dying iujunction to the Emperor, to make peace. He would never have given this advice to Nicholas, whose battles he bad fought, but to the young Emperor, who had no hand in raising the war, he urged the policy of peace.

Important to Postmasters. Our attention has been called to the fact that some Postmasters are in the habit of sending back to the mailing office letters reaching them for delivery, because they were not pre-paid by stamps, but by money. This is wrong, and arises from a misapprehension of the law. In no case, indeed, should a letter, after it has reached the office of delivery, be returned for postage, much less should it be returned because the postage was not paid by Btamps, but when (having been pre-paid in cash, either through ignorance .of tho law, or want of stamps on the part of the mailing Postmaster,) they reach their destination, it is the duty of the Postmoster to deliver them the same as though pre-paid by stamps.— [t will necessarily happen, in the introduction of the stamp pre-payment system, that supplies of stamps will fail to reach some of the small and remote offices at the proper time, and it would be doing violence to the citizens of those localities to return, and thus delay their correspondence, because of a circumstance so unavoidable.— Entertaining this view of the subject, the Department has instructed Postmasters, not having stamps, to forward letters as heretofore, when pre-paid by money. If an unpaid letter, from any cause, gets into the mail, and reaches its destination, it should be delivered on payment of postage at pre-paid rate.

"Sentenced.

We learn from the Valley Blade published at Pans, 111., that at the Special Term of the Circuit Court of Coles county, called for the purpose of trying A. F. Monroe, for the murder of his father-in-law, Nathaniel Ellington, the jury, after being out two hour*, brought iu a verdict of murder in the first degree. A motion for a new trial was made and overruled, and the court proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner.— Tho 15th of next month in the day affixed for the execution.

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 iucurable disease, Scrofula.

Without being disposed, or deeming it necessary-, t.o go into the particulars of the case, 1 can say that the astonishing results that have been produced by that medicine, on a member of my own family, and under my own observation and superintendence, after the skill of tho best physicians had been exhausted, and all the usual remedies had failed, fully justify me in recommending its use to all who may be suffering from that dreadful malady. 1 do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions, or that it will afford the same relief in all cases for, of course, 1 can know nothing about that—but from what I have seen of tho effects, 1 would not

hesitate to use it in any and every case of 36 shares Eagle L'k Stuck Scrofula, with persons for whom I felt an J.

It has now been a little less than two years before the public, and yet it has become from its intrinsic merit, a standard article upon the shelves ofalmost all druggists, and the Chester Herald says, "It now stands at. the head ol all remedies of the kind." Nor is this result at all surprising when it is remembered thut distinguished statesmen, as well as many members of the medical profession, indeed ladies aud gentlemen of the highest intelligence, in all parts of the country testify that it has and will restore the lv.-.ir, cover the head of the bald, remove all dendruff and itching, and all diseases of the scalp and more than all, preserve the hair, if used for toilet purposes, both in color and from falling out to any imaginable age.
