The Old Liners vs. Freedom. Notwithstanding effort is now being made by the Old Line party to establish slavery in Kansas, yet they boast if Kansas should become a free State that they car-

boast of how their party is planting liberty in Kansas. Yes they have the audacity to assert in the face of reason, experience, observation and every thing else, when it can be proven beyond the least possible doubt that there is ntft an old Liner in all the Territory of Kansas, that would vote for making it a Free State.— How many parties arc there in Kansas at this time let u# enqr.ir There are two, and these two are diametrically opposed to each-other—theyare as different in principle as the light of day is from the darkness of night. The one is in favor of Slavery and the other in favor of Freedom. The one that is in favor of riviting chains and Slavery on the settlers of Kansas is an Old Liner. The one that is exerting all his energies to carry out the principles of the immortal Jefferson, and his compatriots is a Republican. Such is the distinction between the two great parties in Kansas.

Now the Old Liners of Kansas and the Old Linors of the State of Indiana are all one and the same, both advocating the same principles, and endorsing the acts of the same administration and still the Old Liners of Indiana insist upon it that they are not the Slavery party. What beautiful consistency! to bolster up the acts of Stringfellow and Atchison, pass Resolutions defending the bloody deeds of the Missouri Border Ruffians, endorse the present ProSlavery administration and slill be in favor of Freedom.

The Crane House.

FISHKR & FAGAN, the gentlemanly proprietors of the aforesaid house, are now giving it a thorough repairing, cleansing and painting and will soon be in a condition that will do credit to our city.

As soon as the refitting of this well-known house"is completed we will be able to announce to ow readers and the traveling community in general that Crawfordsville can truly boast of a first class Hotel. We would not say a disparaging word against it as it is, but would take great pleasure in recommending it to all who would wish to live, laugh and grow fat, as we are experimentally acquainted with the house, the fare, tho proprietors and our young friend Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, who is always on hand in the Bar Room with ar smile on his brow and a good word on his lip, ready and willing to entertain tire sojourner, the pilgrim- on- his journey or the weary traveler.

We notice that many of ouir Repub

lican exchanges in this District have copyed bur .article relative to James Wilson Esq., for Congress. Als we stated before, we believe that he is the choice of the Republicans of the 8th Congressional District-, and is jast the man to beat Dan. Vo&rheea, or any other tumbling, traitorous dexnegogue, the Old Liners may choose toj drag their bloody ensign. We believe Mr. Wilson, will get the nommination without a dissenting voice.

The "Fountain Ledger" of last week has the following in regard to Mr. Wilson.

"The Crawfordsville Journal favors the nomination of JAMES WILSON, Esq., as the Republican candidate for Congess in this Congressional District. •Mr. WILSON is one of the most talented young men of our State, and we know of no one who whould make a more gallant race for Congress in old Fountain than he, if he should be our standard bearer.

We might give numerous extracts from onr exchanges, such as the above but we forbear.

Odd Fellows Celebration in Cincinnati. Our gentlemanly Land-lord Mr. FISHER of the Crane House, has just returned from ilia City of Cincinnati, and who was present at the Celebration, informs us that it was one of the grandest occasions that ever came off in America. The regular oration was pronounced by J. D. WILLIAMSON, of Indianapolis.

It is said the address was a fine specimen of American Eloquence, and every way worthy 6® momentous an occasion.

We understand the meeting was held in Van Amburg's big show tent, which he kindly tendered them gratis. The Indianapolis Journal says the Cincinnati Gazette thus describes the "Cars" which formed the most attractive portion of the procession.

The cars in the procession formed one of its imposing features. The)' were 11 in number, thorc being one in each division.

jTST" No party has been more successful than the Democratic party that has had but one name from the origin of the Government to the present day.—Review.

Why, Brother Bowen, how can you perpetrate so palpable a falsehood? Don't you know that figures fail to enumerate the different names it has assumed within the last seven or eight years. We have not time, nor disposition, now to describe or enumerate its various changes, but for tho edification of those who are gulled into the idea that tho Democratic party have always been know by tho one "charming" name, we would just present a few of the most prominent names which it has assumed.

First of all stands the Free Soil Democratic party, Abolition Democracy, Whisky Democracy,Old Line Democracy, Old Line Whisky and Slavery Democracy, the Alimo Wing of Democracy, (or Rube Fink's party,) National Democracy, (or Bowen's party,) McDonald's Abolition party of '49, Missouri Border Ruffian party, Black Democracy, Major Gen. John M. Shuck's Bristle Ridge party, National Whig and Democratic party, Know Nothing Democracy, and a host of other Democracies.

But this self same Democracy has been snccessful, says the Review. Yes, it has been successful in making a grand fizzle. It has been successful in running their principles iato slavery' and the whisky barrel.—* It has sticceeetled in breaking down the

We notice by our last Chicago

mails that Messrs. Howard and Sherman of the Kansas Investigating Committee reached Leavenworth city on the 14th of April. This Committee is already causing the Old Liners ail over our country to tremble for their iniquitous cause. They feel that their unholy, fraudulent, deep, dark treachorous, business is about to be exposed to the gaze of an honest thinking public who when they behold the monstorous deformity of modern Democracy, will stamp everlasting infamy upon the miserable cowardly party of the North who are this day crouching to Southern dictation and to tho crack of the slave drivers whip.

Missouri Compromise, "which was conoiiized in the hearts of the American people." It has succeeded in making Slavery national, and Freedom sectional. It has been very successful in crushing home manufacture, and in building up the manufactories and capitalists of other countries. In many other iniquitous things it has been successful, and it will be successful", in "giving up the ghost*' this Ml.

The Lecture.

On iasit (Monday) evening w? had the pleasure of listening to the Temperance Lecture, by Miss Carrie Filkins, of Illinois.

We have heard but one opinion expressed in regard to this lady's address, and that opinion is that it was decidedly the best of the season. Miss Filkins comes to us highly recommended from gentlemen of other States, and from the press generally wherever she has traveled. Of this State, the Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and Lafayette papers speak in the highest terms.

Miss Filkins had a large audience, and all seemed well entertained. In her lecture she gave a condensed history of the Temperance reform, from its origin down to the present time, showing the advanced steps which it has taken at onco clear and forcible. She lectured again (Tuesday) evening, and will probably stay with us several days. Success to her efforts here and wherever she may chance to travel.— She is laboring in a noble cause.

The Republican Cause In Boone County. There seems to be a mighty uprising of the people all over the country. Wherever the Republicans have held conventions, large crowds of the hardy yeomanry of our country have been present, and feelings of the profoundest harmony prevailed. The Republicans are united on the one great issue of the paity, and* nothing can deter their onward march to victory. Boone County has just held a convention, which bespeaks the final triumph of Republicanism in that County. Glorious old Boone, you will not be alone in your triumphal march. Montgomery is moving forward with her invincible guards, and will join you in the general rejoicing which will rend the air next fall. The "Boone County Ledger," speaking of the convention held in Lebanon a few days since, says: "A great and glorious day for the freemen, and the good of the county of Boone, was the day of the Connty Convention. "Though one of the busiest of the year for farmers, we had a large and enthusiastic assembly, equal in number, if not exceeding the Black Line Convention. "After the organization of the Convention, JAMES WILSON, Esq., of Crawfords-

THOSE CIGARS.

Well its puff! puff!! puff!!! now and nothing else but puff, since wo took that pleasant little stroll over our town and happened to step into the large and splended Drug-store vvheie our highly esteemed friend T. D. Brown, presides over "all he surveys."

We always thought Teddy was one of finest young men of our acquaintance and now we know it. We have realised the fact from the fact, that ho (Teddy) presented us with some of the finest cigars immaginable, enough to keep us puffing a "good smart while" and when our friends call up to our humble sanctum we can afford to say "here let's take a puff together."

N. B. Tlioso who want a good article of cigars or any thing elese in his line of business, we are authorized to say just call "round" to Teddy's Drug-store No 3 Commercial Block.

Court House Burned.

We clip the following sad intelligence of the Burning of the Court House in Covington from the "Fountain Ledger."

The Court House at Covington was entirely consummed by fire on Monday nigh't last. The fiire occufed in the second story and was no doubt the work of incendiary. There were a few Books and other things saved out of the Court room below, but all the books and papers belonging to the Treasurer's office, together with the County and Township Libraries wore consumed with the building.

The loss to the County is considerable and although the Court House was old and out of date, and probably ought to have been replaced with a new one, yet at this particular juncture the people are illy able to stand the increased taxation requisite for building a good one, together with the County offices, which are needed, and should be part and parcel of it but the evil day cannot Jbe further postponed, it has been precipitated upon us, and suppose there is no alternative left, but for the Commissioners to take immediate steps for the building of a new Court House, and the people will have to stand the taxation.

A Free State Out of Texas. Since Popular Sovereignty has become the grand bulwark of modern Democracy, and the by-word of every Old Liner, the veriest sinner among them is keen to bet that the western portion of Texas will be made a Free State. Such is the duplicity of the mass of the Old Line party that they believe every word their leaders say.— Verily, if these lying, fawning demagogues would tell them Popular Sovereignty would make South Carolina a Free State, their crawling open mouthed subjects would believe every word of it. The Southern wing of the GREAT DEMOCRATIC PARTY seems to think there is great danger of the western: part of Texas becoming a Free State, and are exhorting thiir brethren to

Hitt

g0 forward to"the rescue lest popular sovereignty convert it into a Free State. But here is what a paper down South says about it. 5

From various sources, we have come in possession of /acts, which go to show that the Germans, French, Swiss, Hungarians, and other foreigners, will, ere long, make a strong demonstration to form a Free State out of Western Texas. We have lately conversed with men from that part of the State and they unhesitating averthatthe foreigners there, to a man, are opposed to Sla-' very. There are also men from the North, who are insidious leaders in the movement, and are urging the foreigners to make a bold stand in favor of the project.. They are busy in tho work of drilling them for the contest, and already boast of having ten thousand voters.

The struggle -.Tor a division will soon commence, and, although natives of the State would like to see a division, yet they fear to test the question. But whether they move or not, the foreigners will move for them, and bring on the issue. The longer the natives of the State delay action on this subject, the worse it will be for them, for their opponents are gathering numerical strength, and will doubtless overw.helm them sooner or later, unless our present patent process of naturalization is speedily arrested. These patent mills are grinding out voters with astonishing rapidity, and the hoppei is kept full of fresh grists from the old world.

Gentlemen who have lately visited that portion of the State confirm the above statements. There is food for reflection to Southern men in this matter, and the sooner the issue is promptly met, the better it will be for all parties. What will our Texas exchanges say to this state of things? —New Orleans Creole.

For the Journal.

SCHOOLS AND SCHO0L-3IQUSES. MR. EDITOR: That our town requires a more enlarged provision for Schoolhouses of some kind, is a fact, apparent, to all but the number and kind of buildings for school purposes, their dimensions, locality, cost of construction, &c., are questions upon which there is a diversity of opinion. While some would have the town divided into at least as many as six districts, with a common school-house in each, others would have only four. Some are in favor of employing only the cheapest kind of Teachers, while others prefer to pay liberal salaries, such at least as would secure tho services of competent instructors.— Many whose cupidity leads them forever to croak about the enormous taxation of the dear people, would have their own children grow up in ignorance and infamy ra'h"r than see others of limited means share t!u benefits of liberal instruction based upon a system of general taxation, for the support of good common schools. These diversities in the opinions and condition* of men, have always been among the greate.-t obstacles in the way of perfecting our school system.

The writer having had almost unbounded opportunity for observing the workings of the different systems, and the present being a time when tho subject is being somewhat widely discussed, would through the columns of your paper submit a few suggestions for the consideration of all classes of our citizens, who would avail themselves of the most deirab!e system of public education. In the first plare let us keep in view the fact that our school law (which by-the-bye, is perhaps the best we could get at the time, though not hv any means clear of defects) requires the Trustees to provide school-houses, teachers, ifce., vet it is left optional with them in a community like ours, to determine whether the interest of the public would he best subserved by the establishment of half a dozen school-houses in the different parts of the District, or whether to secure a lot ample ennngh in dimensions, and central enough in its locality, (o accommodate all the children of the place. The practicability of the graded school system is no longer problematical wherever the experiment has been made of bringing all the children of a place no larger than ours under the supervision of one corps of teachers provided with a building commodious enough in its various departments to accommodate all. it has been found to work well. Both in this and adjoining States there are. manyplaces whose citizens glory in nothing so much as in their superior educational advantages, whers tho policy of a multitude of rick' ty school-houses has been abandoned, and in their stead edifices erected that are ornaments not only to the place, but to the spirit and energy of those who constructed them. But it is alleged that our taxes already so enormous, would thereby be very largely increased. Let us see.— Remember we are not to choose between schools and no schools, school-houses and no school-houses, but the question to be decided is, whether we shall have one good large substantial house or in its stead say half dozen small ones. Remember, for every District we are required to have at least one school-house, and consequently as many lots as houses. Now put the average price of each lot say $500 and you have the aggregate amonnt $3000 lor ground alone then add say $1000 for the cost of each house, and we have $6000 more, making tho sum of at least $9000 to be expended in lots and buildings, all of which the Trustees are compelled to raise by direct taxation. On the other hand take the property that was purchased by our Trustees for the purpose, admitting they had to pay a large price for it, may there not be a substantial brick .building erected on these lots, say three stories high and of sufficient capacity to accommodate all at an expense not to exceed say $600.0 if so it will then cost less than the other. And here it may be well to state that many honest minds are laboring under entirely erroneous apprehensions with regard to the design of the Trustees. It is no part of their object as has been asserted, to involve the corporation hopelessly in debt, with no regard to economy or the interest ot (ax-payers. On the other hand it is found that the course of the Trustees is approbated, just in proportion as their motives and design are comprehended. The first consideration with them was, to procure a lot large and central enough to answer the purpose. Tho next was, to find one, the improvements on which would bo of the least value, (as none could be made available to advantage for school purposes.) The lots they finally obtained with such buildings as are on them il is believed can be rented for enough to**pay the interest on the money till such time as the corporation, may be able to improve them per

manantly. Being 105 feet square with streets and alleys on all sides, they were perhaps secured at as low rates as fcimilar lots could have befen obtained in any other part of town as near .central. Finally the writer firmly believes if the citizens of Crawfordsville could onco see such a building erected in our midst and such a school established as the plan proposes, so far from censuring the present Board with a reckless disregard for the interest of the town, the subject would at once become their glory and their pride, and the boundless popularity of the enterprise would not only forever stop tho complaints of croaking tax-payers, who have no children to share its benefits, but those more fortunate who have children to school and no taxes to pay would rise up to the latest generation and call him blessed who would set on foot a system so economical and at the same time so liberal and beneficent. Any that are still incredulous need only to look at Shelby ville in our own State, or at Toledo in Ohio, or at Joliet Illinois, and ask the citizens of those places what they would take, and exchange the graded or Union school system, for the former plan, and their doubts as to the utility and advantages of the plan proposed will at once be removed. Above all things else let it never be found that our politics or prejudice should enter so deeply into questions of such universal interest as to defeat an object so praiseworthy, at least in the estimation of one who pays no small share of the taxes of this corporation, but who at the same time will second any laudable effort to ensure the success of so noble an enterterprise.

Latest from Kansas.

LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS, April 7, 1856. To the Editor of the Missouri Democrat. Since my last letter, the "Border Ruffians," acting through their instruments here, appear to have changed their tactics.

About the time the Legislature adjourned at Topeka, their Territorial Judges held a grand council at Lecompton, tho purpose of which no one seemed to know but their subsequent course justifies the bolief that they resolved to put the "Bloody Code" in forco. In several counties, courts have been held—grand juries summoned—in all cases compo.sed of men of the most violent characters—and witnesses examined to ascertain wdio acted as judges and clerks at the free State elections—what officers and

all who have acted in any official capacity, in connection with the State organization, have been indicted and will be arretted.

A pro-slavery man near the Big Springs was shot and dangerously wounded last Wednesday. The facts as near as I enn ascertain them are those: The wounded man. had been getting rail timber from time to time, for several months past fiom the claim of one of his neighbors who had frequently remonstrated with and warned him not to do so, and it is said, threatened that he "would be shot," if he did not desist, Last Wednesday he went, on to his neighbor's claim, as he had often done before to "cut and haul away" timber, and was shot] —as lie savs—by the owner of the claim, a Pennsylvanian, and 1 understand, a free State man, who was arrested on his statement and taken before a magistrate, and on the statement of the wounded man held for trial, and as there was no jail, brought to Fort Leavenworth for confinement. Col. Sumner refused to receive him and lie was brought here and put under guard, lie says he could have proved that, he was not where the man was shot at tho time but at a neighbor's, but the Justice refused to send lor the witnesses.

Last Saturday several strangers landed at our wharf from the Lucas 1 believe, and stopped at the Leavenworth Motel. Among them was a man with a 'suspicions' looking box, said to contain Sharp's rifles.— The onlv grounds of suspicion were that it was about the right length and rather heavy.

night, he and the City Marshal went to the stranger's room and aroused him from his slumbers, and insisted upon opening his box. The stranger at first demurred, but. not knowing but it was a regular part of the programme in Kansas, he consented to allow them to open his box, when it was found to contain nothing more terrible than books. The Mayor, Marshal and the booby whose tools they had been, went oif without even making an apology to the gentleman whom they had so rudely disturbed. The indignation of the citizens, on learning these facts in the morning was deep if not loud, and various means were suggested of testifying their appreciation of Mayor Mnrphey's vigilance. Tho most prevalent feeling was that he ought to be kickcd out of the city, but it was finally resolved to leave him to his own reflection and the contempt of all sensible men but from what 1 have heard, I do not think he will wish to repeat the experiment of opening people's baggage more than once more if his good sense does not teach liim not to repeat it at all.

The Brfnk of Commerce at New York has the largest capital, namely, five millions of dollars. The Merchants' Bank of Boston, is next, having four millions. The Bank of Louisiana at New Orleans comes nearly up to the same mark, 83,993,000 capital.
