A good Omen—Republicans moving in Kentucky. Wo notice that large and enthusiastic Republican meetings, are being held in "Old Kentucky," for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Republican National Convention which will be held in the city of Philadelphia, on the 17th of June, 185G.

This is decidedly a good omen, and it speaks volumes for the success of the great Republican party in the South, as well as

in our own gallant North. Kentucky is boldly coining forward to the rescue, as in the days of yore, when her own glorious HARIIY, stood at the helm of her gallant ship.

JOLIET", 111., March 30th 1856.

Dear Sir:—The past winter is one that

will long be remembered, and will be handed down for many generations to come.— The damage done to tho people of tho State of Illinois, cannot be regained for the next ten years to come. There is scarcely a fruit tree, of any description, that is not either killed dead, or'badly injured. In fact every kind of fruit trees are killed, except Apple trees, and as far as I have examined, nine out of ten are dead. As far as I am informed the largest and oldest orchards have suffered the most. Yours truly.

Judge Doherty and Free Whisky. On yesterdlly morning our town was thrown into a great commotion, by the astounding intelligence, that Judgo Doherty had decided against the constitutionality of our prohibitory Liquor Law. Just like any other Pot house, old lino, whisky loving, three penny lawyer would do, placed in his circumstances. The news, though astounding to souw, was just what we expected oursclf, and were not the least surprised at the Judge's decision.

This decision is a matter of course—how .-could it be otherwise—he has done no more than to satisfy his constituents, and fulfill to the very letter, the principles he was

elected upon. Judge Doherty knows too well the kind of ma'erial that elccted him to

office, to decide othonvi.se, than in favor of Free Whisky. Free Whisky was emphat

ically tho platform on which the Dogans

and tho rest of the Old Liners rallied when the learned Judge was elected to his high position, and it would be suicide in the first

degree, to his own feelings, and to the Old Line party, to decide against them. Judge Doherty has no doubt fulfilled tho highest

aspirations of his soul, dnd the heart-felt wishes of every Irishman and Old Liner in

his District, by thus deciding. But how is it with those old liners who

prated long and loud, a few days ago that Judge D. would sustain tho Law. How must their expectations be blasted Not a whit, for they believed not a word they said. They knew full well that in this hour of peril to their party, he would not betray them—that ho would decide in favor of Free Whisky, as certain as a case came before his Honor.

We sustain tho Judge's decision as far

as consistency with the Old Line principles is concerned, but otherwise wo denounce tho decision and the party that sustains it.

Whisky is Free.

Who can doubt, since tho decisions of Perkins and Doherty. Indiana since her admittance into the Union has never presented so gloomy a picture as she does to

day. Upon our statute books, no law stands upon record for the restraint of the Liquor traffic. Every man can now enjoy tho gloiious liberty of making, vending and drinking as much whisky as he pleases.

Every Old Liner can now drink to his hearts content, lie can now wallow in whisky and no man can legally molest

him." He can enjoy to tho fullest extent all the liberties bequeathed to him by the

blood of his ancestors. What a glorious land of liberty, this land of ours. Who can deny it 1 What Old Liner dare say

now that he is robbed of the privilege of

making, selling and using whatever he

howling about "Mid-night Assassins" and P"

"Itinerant Vagabonds," robbing men of their liberties. Now every Irish hovel can be made a mmature Ilell, and the whole to\?n of Crawfordsville converted into one

grand doggery. Now the Old Liners have it their own way—they have it just as the

-i V-% Alamo platform declared it should be.—

Whisky free as the mountain air—free as tho running brooks to all who will come Now

It will be seen that many of our most eminent citizens, of all political parties, have manifested a deep interest in the subject by inviting Horn H. S.

more suitable orator for the occasion could

no where have been selected. Wo anxly hold ourselves in roadiness, to announce

the time and place, of the lecture. Our citizens may truly anticipate a feast of eloquence as it most certainly exists in both

the orator and the subject. CRAWFORDSVII.LE, April 2, 1S5G.

Hon. H. S. LANK—Dear Sir:—The undersigned who are happy to subscribe themselves your friends, during your absence upon a visit to the South, have been flattering themselves, that you would on your return, favor them with a Iecturo upon a subject most interesting to 113 all—Ashland and the Hermitage.

We are induced to ask that favor as soon as your pleasure will permit, partly from confidence in your ability to do justice to the theme, and partly from the high appreciation wo all have, of the goodness, tho greatness and the glory of the patriots whom your subject will of course require you to mention. There is still another consideration whieh we are confident will mostly influence you, we allude to the present. turbulent and threatening state of poitical feeling now abroad, which cannot but be greatly ameliorated by a reference to that burning love of country so gloririuusly exemplified in all the public acts of Clay and Jackson.

An answer stating the time that you will address us, will very much oblige us. With warm regard and the most respectful consideration, we are sir,

Yours, very truly,

The "Spring Exhibition."

MR. EDITOR:—Permit a highly gratified attendant on the Exhibitions of Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, to present his notions upon the speeches, through the columns of your journal.

The rtihtli semi-annnal Exhibition of tho Lyceum came off on Tuesday evening.— The following are the thefnes discussed by the respective speakers: "Ancient and Modern Patriotism—E. G. BRYANT.

The Revival of Letters—W. E. SPILMAN. "Half Made Men." 0. E. HOVEY. "The Huguenots."—F. B. WHITE.

Mr. Bryant very correctly thinks the railroads, telegraph-lines, steamboats, and all tho rage of modern improvement, a great deal better than the Parthenon, the Coliseum, and the boasted patriotism of the ancients. Tamo in his delivery, he did not succeed in getting first rate attention.— Greece and Rome are terribly dull, in the hands of undergraduates With a good theme, Mr. B. could make a much better speech.

Quito tho reverse of Mr. Bryant's was Mr. Spilman's effort. He could hardly have chosen a better theme—it could hardly be treated so ill. The number of jVlr. Spilman's suns, stars, moons, constellations, and such like, very astronomical in-

deed, yet long ago out-at-elbow illustra-

tions, was quite beyond calculation. He was eloquent, .as sophomores only can be eloquent, portions of his oration being witli-

well bo proud. He can afford to make a failure as well, perhaps, as any member of Wabash College, anil indeed, his failures surpass tho successes of many others. Of this nature, was his failure of Tuesday night, and even from it, wounl see, had be ne\er

to particularize further. Ihere was not a

particle of the Sophomoric in Mr. Mover's effort—not a bit of rigmarole—not the

least fustian. It sparkled with wit, and had the glorious, broad grin of humor all over it. Mr. H. unlocked the door ot his understanding, and found in the chambers there, stores of thought which may prove incxhaustable. He thinks for himself, and that is the highest compliment, uow-a-days. 7'

Mr. White's oration about tho Huguenots was excellent, of the kind, but the kind was not excellent. He has done better, on previous occasions, and will always do well. With

The criticism of tho Odyssey, and the eulogy upon Homer, by Mr. Blackwcll exhibited no little ability. Though a subject which has been treated of by almost every eminent critic. Mr. B. talked—he did not "speak"—about the great epic he was considering in such an admirable manner as to elicit the attention of the audience, during the entire delivery.

Perhaps Mr. Essick would have done better had his oration been committed to memory. He has good talents, which appear jr.st now to bo in a transition state of some kind or other.

The "Youth of Washington," by Mr. Post, was, almost every word of it, biographical. Mr. P. is a fair speaker.

The oration by Mr. Twining exhibited an unusual degree of mental maturity in one so young. Ho believes not in titled nobility. Indeed he says "Titled nobility! is relic of the Dark Ages—born in anarchy, it was nourished in confusion. lt| has always resisted the progress of reform." The speaker's notion of tiue nobility is the correct notion, and may be summed up! thus: Intellectual power, exerted at the command of religious virtue. The oration was practical, full of common sense, and, whilst it exhibited much maturity of mind. in one so young,—as wo have said—it1 gave an insight into a mind of more than ordinary capacity, just now developing.

It may appear invidious to compare the exhibitions, one with the other: Indeed, it would be difficult to draw a comparison fairly. Two of tho Lyceum speakers were Seniors, and two were Juniors, whilst all the Calliopean speakers weie in the Sophomore class. Ilovey, perhaps, had a better speech than any by a Calliopean, and yet the audience appealed to be more highly gratified on Wednesday evening.

The music by the Brass Band, was highly praised by all. QCILL. Crawfordsville, April 3, 1856.

Hovey, was the most entertaining oration we ever heard, coming from any undergraduate of Wabash College. Practical, humorous, satirical, brim full of common sense, Mr. H. wages an unrelenting and exterminating war against ail kinds of quackery—against pretenders on the one hand, and servile tools, who ..

Common School Houses.

Having shown the almost entire destitution of school houses in town, it may be thought that enough has been said, for our citizens possess sufficient liberality and public spirit to supply this deficiency of school houses, if their attention is but property drawn to the subject. Tho number of Churches in town, and the fact that a part of the citizens have voluntarily, within the last season, expended upon the streets near six thousand dollars, is surely evidence enough of public spirit. But perhaps it may ba well enough to look at the prospect bofore us, and to notice some objections. The town Trustees have assessed a' tax for building purposes. This has created quite a stir. Some even want to leave town to avoid the tax, but where will they go? Five townships in this county collect the same tax that the town does other townships, not quite eo mnch.—

But every board of trustees, whether in town or township, throughout the State, are bound to levy a tax of this kind where they have not sufficient school houses, and the State Superintendent of Schools in his report says that trustees failing to levy such tax are liable to a prosecution and it should be cause for dismissal froui office. So that gentlehien if they want to dodge this tax, are likely to have to leave the State of Indiana.

I he Trustees have also purchased a square of ground whereon, at sometime, to erect a building or buildings for school purposes. Whether they have made the best selection, or the best bargain that was to be had or not, is for them to decide, ami without interfering with their business, let us look at a few facts. There is a town without a school house or a place to put one here are Trustees bound by the duties of their office to provide school houses. Now how can they build a school house without ground to put it
