REPUBLICAN

COUNTY CONVENTION.

ALL HAIL! ALL HAIL!

The Republicans of Montgomery County will meet in Convention at the Court House, in Crawfordsville, on

Saturday the 19th of April, For the purpose of more thoroughly or

ganizing the great Republican Party of Montgomery County, and to appoint delegates to the State Convention. Much other business of importance will be transacted.

It it to be hoped that during the interim every Township in the County will organize nnd send large delegations to tho County Convention.

By order of the Republican Party of Montgomery County.

The Pla»

Will be presented Saturday at precisely 2 o'clock, P. M. We hope there will be a

full attendance of all tho Ladies of Craw fordsvillo. Miss VICTORIA lloi/rox presents it in behalf of the Ladies of Crawfcrdsville. JAMES WILSON, Esq., receives it in behalf of the Ladies of Ripley Township. Our Excellent Brass Band is engaged for the occasion. We bespeak a brilliant occasion, and hope no lady will fail to at

tend.

James Wilson, Esq., for Congress.

We this week hoist the name of our own townsman, JAMES WILSON, for Congress, subject to the decision of the convention of the Eighth Congressional District which will be held at some convenient point in

the District, in the course of a few weeks. Wo now urge the nomination of Mr. W il-1 son, and will urge it until the time of holding the convention, from the fact that we believe that he is not only the choice of

the Republicans of Montgomery Co., but the choice of the whole L'istrict. It may bo urged that there are other eminent men in the District, having higher and jitter claims to that responsible station., but for our part, wo take the liberty to think and to J-ay different. We admit that we

have very many able and tiust-worthy men in the District, who, if elected, would fill the ofiicc with honor and dignity. W

nay we have no want of the proper material, in the Republican ranks and when we say it we speak knowingly but we have none having higher claims than Mr. ileon, none that would crown the District,

and our Nation's Congress with brighter honors. Mr. Wilson's reputation as an eminent lawyer and a brilliant orator, is acknowledged and eulogised, by all parties by his enemies as well as his friends, in

every county in the District. Mr. Wilson was born and raised in our own County—nurtured amid the glorious influences of western literature and western

patriotism, and with such a standard bearer at our head, we can with certainty augur success to the whole Republican ticket next fall. As regards Mr. Wilson's fervent political devotion to the Republican cause, it would be unnecessary to reiterate,

as his unflinching integrity to the cause of Freedom has ever been the same. .«•

James Wilson, Esq., in lafayette.

The Courier of yesterday, highly eulogises Mr. Wilson's speech, which he made on last Saturday in that city. After speaking of the large and enthusiastic gathering of the "bone and sinew" of Tippecanoe County, the Editor says "JAMKS WILSON, Esq., of Craw fordsville, made an able, and a telling speech, in which he shewed lip tho inconsistencies of the old line party on the great question of the day, in a manner that must have carried conviction to

every honest, reflecting mind present. His arguments wore unanswerable, and we wish they could have- been heard by every voter iu Tippecanoe." Mr. Wilson makes no other kind of speeches than "unanswerable" speeches, and is just the man to make a brilliaut Congressional canvass this fall.

Prospect of the Republican Pitfty. The prospect of the great Republican Party of Indiana and of thte whole North, wore never more flattering than they are at the present time. Glorious old New Hampshire, the home of Franklin Pierce, where during the last Campaign the whole power of the Black Democratic Administration was brought to bear, has gone for the Republicans by an overwhelming majority. Such a triumph of Freedom is truly encouraging to the Republicans all over tho country. It is still more encouraging when we reflect that the moist sanguine in the Republican ranks of that State contemplated defeat from the fact that Pierce had sent out his hirelings all ovor tho State previous to the election— but all to no purpose. The result shows plainly how powerless is the administration where every effort was made to carry the election in favor of rotten demagogism.— This grand triumph of Freedom will be hailed with joy by every Republican in our whole country—it will be hailed as a glorious fore-runner of success in every State in the Union. Since the elections in W isconsin, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, we can with much certainty predict tho final downfall of the Democracy at least in every Northern State. We think the omens of the Ruccess of the Republican party were never better since its organization. W have been defeated in some if our large cities and may be in. the coming electons. Many of those cities which have lately gone for the Black Democracy are beyond our control, from the fact that their foreign population holds the balance of power, and will vote with tho Old Liners as long as they make free whisky the grand platform of their party. The Old Liners would g!adly abandon free Whisky were it not for the foreign influence they can secure by making it the all absorbing question.— The Old Liners during the present canvass dare not abandon their free Whisky platform, lest they lose-this great ally of their party.

The moment the Old Liners abandon this leading feature of their party and make Slavery the only issue, that moment they are shorne of all their strength. But we

are willing for them to make it the strongest plank in their platform. 'We are willing that they should import all Ireland and

Germany, and crawl and crouch at the feet of Priest and Potentates. We can beat them if they bring all the power ol Europe's papists to bear against us.—

New Hampshire has lately demonstrated the fact by triumphantly enrolling hersell on the list of Republican States. Republicans hold up your heads—your cause is onward and upward—it is tho cause of

right and truth and in tho end will prevail —all the powers of darkness cannot prevail against it. Its progress is irresistible.— Its glorious march cannot be stayed while light and truth and Heaven are on its side. Fighting for the principles which we advo

cate wo have nothing to fear, for they are tho principles of humanity. But on the other hand the Old Linors have everything to fear, for their cause is unjust and unholy, fighting as they do for the extension of Slavery and Whisky. The history of nil time

clearly demonstrates that a wrong cannot endure long—that it must eventually be crushed by the power of truth and justice. Such is the case with tho unjust and unholy principles of Old Lincism. They are

already crumbling before the gigantic march of the Republican cause. Tlie ir funeral knell has already sounded on the hills of New Hampshire and the valleys of tho Granite State have returned the chime, and when the ides of November shall come it will be rung in peals by the whole North,

and then will the end come. Old Lincism will then be as the things that were but are not.

Seizure, Confiscation and Destruction of Whisky. The ladies of Indiana, nerved by therecent outrages and abuses heaped upon them by the flow of free whisky, are coming to the rescue like true Heroines in the cause of humanity. (Tur exchanges from every section of the State come freighted with the glorious intelligence of the destruction of free whisky by the ladies. At Greensburg, New Marion, Eagle Village, Princeton, and many other towns, the ladies have totally exterminated the whisky traffic.

We wish the ladies of Indiana much success in all such noble and praiseworthy enterprises. 'We understand tho ladies of Crawfordsville are taking the proper pre-

preliminary steps to annihilate the sinkholes of debauchery with which our city is cursed. We recommend tho doggery keepers of Crawfordsville to keep dark, or

quit the business immediately, lest they share the same fate of their brothers in distress.

The ladies of Indiana are not to bo looled with, in reference to this matter, if our exchanges tell the truth, and we doubt not their veracity. This is the spirit we like

to see manifested by the Ladies of our State. When all law on the liquor traffic is laid

aside, and whisky is let loose upon us, it is evident that something must bo done to stay tho dreadful carnage consequent upon the reopening of so Hellish a business.— The ladies are right on this subjoet, and we hope that they may continue in their work

of love. Let every doggery keeper in the State, remember, that when the ladies are determined to do a thing, that it will be done.

They are as resistless their determinations, as the current that 6weeps down the channel of the Mississippi*

Success to. them.

Prof. Mills, State Superintendent

fro: time to time, for the use of the ".Journal." Would that it could be laid before every reader in the State of Indiana.

The Chicago Daily Tribune, was hand-

Locust Grove Post Office.

The Post Office at Locust Grove in this county, has been discontinued by the P. M. Geneial, for the reason that no one in the neighborhood could be found willing to at

We clip the following very graphic hymn from an exchange. It sounds very much

like the National Hymn, of the Black Democratic party of the North. It is undoubtedly the loud sounding song, and the silent breathing of every Irishman, Old Liner and and lover of "whisky" in our country.— We suggest that the old liners peruse this

song, and sing it at all their meeting, as the National Song of Modern Democracy.— But here is tho poem. Sing it all ye lovers of "free whisky."

From our Texas Correspondent. INDIANOLA, TEXAS, March 18,1856. MR.

The morning advanced, the storm abated and ere the sun dispelled the thick fog that encircled the city in a kind of melancholy

gloom tho wharf was literally alive with all varieties and shapes and colors of the human specie. There was tho jet black Etheopian with his thick lips and long

For the Journal.

MR. EPITOK: During a short stay in Lafayette, on Wednesday last, Mr. JOHN L. REYNOLDS showed us the plan of a new building which he designs erecting the

present season. Tho style and finish of the. building is similar to the National Hotel of Louisville, Ivy., which is regarded as one of the most beautiful and elegant structures in the West. Judging from the model as exhibited on paper, the new Hanking House will combine more taste, elegance nnd architectural symotrv than any any bilding in the Wabash valley.

Mr. Reynolds has been remarkably successful in business, nnd is thus devoting his means not merely for his own benefit,

and what pilgrimages are made to upon the mighty temples of the old world, around which gather the memories of twenty centuries. Such will be tho feelings of tho future generations when they shall look upon tlie buildings of t'i^ present generation. I)e."p and thrilling will be th* emotions of their minds when passing up the stream of time, pausing upon tlie giddy bights of the past and drinking in the rich inspirations which clustre abov.t the noble edifices now in progress of co struction.

A temporary bed was prepared for her in a room hung with old tapestry ami those who ought to know say the tapestry gives the history of the heroes of the Iliad. On that tapestry Napoleon's little eyes first rested.

The birth of tho "King of Rome"—or Napoleon II.—is very graphically described by Southey, but is the more interesting as it called iorth such a tender womanly, affecting letter from Josephine to the Emperor. The concluding paragraph of the letter runs thus "It is, however, impossible for me to defer telling you that more than any one on earth 1 share iu your joy. You will nut doubt my sincerity when I say that, far ironi being afflicted with a sacrifice so necessary to the repose of all, I rejoice that it has been made, now that I suffer alone.— Suffer, do 1 say? No, since you are contented', my only regret is that 1 have not done sufficient to prove how dear you weie to ine."
