Joe Wright's Speech.

Joe Wright in his speech last Saturday

said that tho laws of Kansas ought to be respectcd, and that tho citizens of Kansas Territory should obey the laws made by the first Legislature of that Territory.

Joo is a wonderful Law and order man.

Wants the people of Kansas tc swear to support the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, and tho odious Fugitive Slave Law. Detests in his very heart men who make oath to support any measure in the State of Indiana, -but would have tho free citizens of Kani: sas to swear eternal vigilance and support to tho grandest swindle and intrigue ever

perpetrated by any government since the morn of creation. Yes Joe loves order, loves law, lovos the constitution, loves the Union, and above all else loves the dear old Democratic Party, which has fed him and kept him in office for twenty years.— O, what a veneration ho has for the party. Said it had saved the Union in every hour

of peril, and would save it in this hour of danger. Looked upon the canvass of 1856 as the most perilous one our Country had ever witnessed. Said ho hoped he would livo to see the close of the canvass, and of

the triumph of the great Democratic Par

ty. Here he drew a desperate picture of a dissolution of the Union, and hoped his eyes might never be permitted to behold the awful spectacle. In order to save the Union and the Old Line Partj", he exploit

ed his brethren to go back to first principle—the principles of their fathers and study them next to their Bible. Said he wanted them to study the Constitution, and stand fast by it and the party. During the course of his speech, made a dead-

ly attack on the ministry. Said Henry Ward Beecher was a traitor to his God and his Country, and warned his hearers to beware of such men. Said he "regard any preacher who speaks of aiding the

Free State men of Kansas as a traitor to his Country and to his God."

At this juncture of his speech the audi

ence

yelled and stamped and made such an unearthly noise that the speakers voice was drowned amid the thunderings of the enthusiastic multitude, we might say enraged, for when an Old Line speaker refers to the Clergy, and speaks of the firm and

unyielding stand the ministers of Christ have taken against tho principles of the Old Line party, (Slavery and Free Whisky) his hearers always applaud him louder than at any other time, and sometimes

drown the roarings of his voice, as was the case on last Saturday when Joo Wright denounced the ministry as traitors.

It is a remarkable fact that no portion of an Old Lino speech calls forth as loud 'stamping, yelling and raving as that which is most denunciatory to the clergy.

Tho masses of tho Old Line party love it. They glory in the persecution of the ministry. But Joe not content with his demolition of the clergy, must resurrect poor "dead Sam" and

display

you have been with this fellow in his life time, and took his horrid oaths, but I forgive you if you have come back, but I cannot forgive you if you persist in worship

ping this poor 'dead Sam.' After Sam wa« duly cared for, the mighty Joe wandered back on to the Slavery question—pitched in to the free State men of Kansas—denounced the laws of Massachusetts and Ohio, and said that the for

mer State did!? not send her men to Kansas to become citizens, but to carry out some peculiar institutions of that State. Joe didn't say what "peculiar institution" he meant, but we presume he meant "freedom" as that seems to be the "peculiar institution" of Massachusetts and the whole

North. We might add further quotations and remarks, but we will defer the very pleasant task until we have more time and space to devote. .We will close this brief notice by just saying that Joe forgot to tell his brethren that he signed the "odious Prohibitory law," and that during his whole speech he opened not his mouth on ihc Icmperance

question. Will some of our Old Line friends ex

plain tho reason of this?

Joe Wright and the Bible. The Devil, we are told, quoted Scripture, so doos Joe. Wright. Certainly if the Father of lies is entitled to that privilege, why not any of his followers? But we think the Governor was not happy last Saturday in his quotations, and we especially thank him for the example of Abram and Lot, to which he was pleased to refer us. Let i.s read tlnir history and ponder long and well its teachings.

"And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, aud Lof with him, into the South.

And Abram icas very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle.

And Abram said unto Lot, Let there bo no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen«and thy hordinen for we be brethren.

Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou loilt take the left hand, then 1 will go to the right or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

Let us now make the application, not like Gov. Wright, but in accordance with

Truth and History.

In 1820 our Fathers owned tlieLouisania Territory. The North went into that Ter

ritory with her institutions, Freedom and Freemen—the South went there with Slaves and Slavery. "VN hat followed? why, as a matter of coursc there was strife between the North and the South, and that strife deepened and widened, until at last it seemed that the Union of our Fathers would be dissolved forever. But wise counsels prevailed. The patriotic men of 1820 met together as brethren, and made partition of the Territory. They drew a geographical

line, that abomination of Old Liners, just as Abram and Lot did five thousand years ago, and entered into a solemn compact, that all upon the right should be consecrated to Freedom, and the Noith hereafter to be tho New Canaan of Liberty—and the South should own and possess all upon tho left, and be allowed to pitch her tents as

far toward Sodom and the Devil, as she saw proper. Like Abram and Lot, tho Noith and tho South separated in peace, each to occupy their own possessions, and establish there their own peculiar institutions.

But hero the comparison ceases, for it is nowhere recorded that Lot, Old Liner as he was in some respects, after he had overrun all of his own territory, and perhaps impoverished its soil came to Abram with the base and selfish plea that the division

was unconstitutional and meanly try to steal or beg back the land to which he had giv

en up all title.

his horrible

and mangled proportions to his delighted

audience, sayingto them, "I know some of

But how was it with the South? In 1854 she came "like a thief in the night" and in

the face of her plighted faith and honor struck down the MBpjfiri Compromise, the Covenant of lS2^Mjp$V hat has been the result? Kansas lies to-day conquered and

bleeding at every pore. Her history has been written in blood from the time of the passage of the Nebraska Act, up to this very hour. Nay, more, the. Slave Code of Missouri is the Code of Kansas, and the Freemen of the North under that Law are expelled from the Jury Box, and disfranchised at tho Polls. But enough—we thank you once moro Governor for your Scripture Tefcrence. When will you preach 9 again

j£3T Sam Wilson, the "Great Kicked out" of all Parties, toadied Joe Wright in

the morning, and tried to make a speech on the evening of the 10th. His own party were heartily ashamed of him, in either capacity. The worthy President of the meeting, George Snyder, went to sleep under Willson's somniferous eloquence, and snored away to the tune of, "We won't go home till morning,

Till broad daylight."

JgT Oor California papers state a fam ine is almost inevitable in that country,

caused by the excessive drouth,,

Important Announcement!—Grand Literary Entertainment at Ball's Lane, June 17th, 1856—being the Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill—Captain

Keller and Ensign Bowen in fall Uniform. James M. Simpleton alias Hal Hazel, will on tho above named day, give that "intellectual feast," which was annonnced in the Review a few weeks ago. To make the exercises still more interesting, portions of Count Bowen's Auto-Biography will be read. "Hal" informs us that ho has been at great pains and expense in procuring that very important document, from a theatre in Chicago. "Hal's" "Infant Bunker Hill School" will enrich the occasion by the performance of numerous Tragedies, from the works of Count Bowen, Sliakspeare and others.

As the audience will bo permitted to make their selections, we presume the most brilliant scenes will be taken from "Bowen's Lifo in a Theatre." The reason

why we think that Bowen will play a conspicuous part in the performances, is this, that "Hal's" infant School are all old liners, together with their parents, who will be in attendance of course and who having a decided partiality for Mr. Bowen's thrilling scenes, will undoubtedly call for them. Hal requests us to say that he has secured the valuable services of Rube Fink, late

correspondent of the Review, Gen. John M. Shuck, commander of the 'Bristle Ridge Rangers," and many other notorious old liners, to Iwighten the interest of the occasion with Readings from Confucius, Sinbad and Robinson Crusoe. The whole to conclude with a brilliant essay from Esq., J. Snyder, on the Life, Character and Mil

itary Services of Captain Keller. Spectators can piocure 'Box seats on r- rail fence' by making early application to Count Bowen, for 12^ cents. Pit seats on the ground cents. The antire proceods of tho entertainment will be donated to the Count for the benefit of his office, as Ben Stover

is about to start an opposition press in town, which, it is feared, will interfere with the Count's financial arrangements, if not counteracted by an arrangement of the above kind. "Let all who love the rich and rare" attend the entertainment.

A. G. Patrick in Kansas.

We notice by the Kansas Herald that Mr. Patrick, formerly of thePuinitm Banner, is making himself notorious since his arrival in that much talked of land.

The Herald says he came there under the

cloke of Democracy but that wouldnot hide his Abolitionism, it would show its hidrahead, to the tho terror and dismay of the "Border Ruffians," the Kansas ITerald not

excepted. It appears that by some means the Herald has got in possession of Mr. Patricks letters to the Banner and is at (his time parading them before the ProSlavery party of Kansas, Calling Mr. Patrick "an abolitionist of the deepest die, Black Republican, Midnight assassin, thief, liar, vagabond" and every other imaginable hard name. Says if he comes to Leavenworth he will present him with a whole suit of "Tar Feathers," and send him on a pleasure trip down the Missouri.

Freemen of Indiana, such is the reception one of your Brethren receives in the land of Squatter Soveregnity, such is the treatment which an honest patriotic Hoosier receives in the land of Kansas, if he dAre

speak and write his opinions on a subject so closely connected with the future welfare of the Territory. Threaten to "tar and feather" a high minded honorable man because he presumes to speak his opinions! But Joo Wright wouldn't say a word

against such outrages, won't say a harmful word of the "Border Ruffians" but is bold to speak out against the action of the Free State men of Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana, for simply asserting their God given right to make Kansas a free State. No the poor crouching Demagogue is afraid such language might injure his "dear parly."— Ah what a love of party Joe has! Can't denounce the "Border Ruffians," without

denouncing his own parly for they are one and the same. The Old Line party in Indiana want to spread Slavery over Kansas, and so do the Missourians.

Wo apprehend the Editor of tho Kansas Herald will have a good time presenting

Mr. Patrick with his "new suit."

THE NEPLUS ULTRA OF MEANNESS.—The poor, howling, soulless scribbler in the last week's Review, under this caption, must

have had a mirror beforo him that reflected his own image and character on every

line of his article. "The Neplus Ultra of Meanness!"—

That's a good text—thank the author for it—will commence a series of articles on the samo subject, and will respectfully dedicate them to the great author of the "Ne

plus Ultra." The Review man charges that Prof. Mills was rejected by the Republican Convention "for tho vice of telling the truth." Now this a matter in which the hypocritical scribbler has not the least personal interest, nor is there the least danger that he will ever be accused of having any as "truth" is a word that never enters his vocabulary. Such a thing as "truth" escaping the lips of BO polluted a thing is contrary to the laws of his very being.— "Truth" and error are incompatible—they cannot exist together, so it is with the Re

view man of last -week. When did the virtues of Prof. Mills become so conspicuous Is it not well known to tho people of Montgomery county that in times past th^feolurans of the Review have teemed witfo'abuse and epithets most bitter on tho character of Prof. Mills, and

not only him but the institution with which he was connected, and of which he was one of its most vigilant and useful members. When it was announced two years ago that Prof. Mills was the candate of the People's party "for State Superintendent," did not the Review make use of such language as this, that if he should be elected to that resposible station, the office would be made subserviont to Wabash College with all the common schools of the State. O, consistency thou art a jowel! "Neplus Ultra of Meanness" thou shalt be duly cared for, from time to time! Don't be alarmed'—we will take you under our fatherly protection

for a few weeks.

JH3T Mr. Hiram Powell of Ripley Township, requests us to correct the report that has gone abroad, in relation to his correspondence with tho Review.

He says he never wrote tho article that appeared in the Review a few weeks ago,

signed "Montgomery." Various old liners in this place and elsewhere, have circulated the report that he wrote the article, was a dissatisfied Republican, would not act with them, &c. He says the uccusation is as false as the old line party, and considers himself maliciously slandered. Says he fully endorses the "People's Platform," and would as soon act with Satan than the old line party. Wo hope no one will mis

understand Mr. Powell's position. We regard him as one of the most unflinching friends of freedom. When will the old liners.learn to tell tho truth

^5F"We regret to inform the Public, that owing to the coldness of his reception,

the mengreness of the crowd, and tho general apathy of his Party, Gov. Wright could not be prevailed upon to stay and address the Sabbath Schools, as is the Governor's wont.

What's the matter with Jack Sny

der? Jack says that Rubo Fink can beat Joe Wright any time making a spoech.— There is a screw loose somewhere, brother Bowen Why don't you get up a com

mittee and instruct Jack to keep quiet.

itsr Gov. Wright, in his speech urged his Party to read and study the Bible.—

There he hit them a hard hit, a regular ten strike. We saw one of the party yesterday, impressed no doubt by the Governor advice, "searching for the Scriptures."— He wanted to know of us where it was pub-lished--whether it \x ^constitutional or not

and how much of it Douglass wrote. We left him alone in his glory.

JUSF" We are informed that James Wilson, Esq., made an eloquent and telling speech at (he Republican Convention held at Chambersburg on last Saturday. He held the large and enthusiastic audience chained, by the power of his eloquence, for

near two hours and a half.

20ST A friend of ours who has lately visited various portions of Warren County,

informs us that James Wilson, Esq., is tho decided choice of that county, as the Republican candidate for Congress, for this District. Mr. Wilson's friends in Warren are bold to assert that if he should be (he

candidate he will get five hundred majority over any opponent the old liners may choose to bring out.

JKsT Governor Wright—Joe Wright Saintly Joe, in his speech on last Saturday at the Court House, made use of the fol

lowing language: "Gentlemen, I have been a politician for some twenty years. It is therefore reasonable to be presumed that I know some

thing of politics and men, and I now tell you, that if you go into any neighborhood and find a man with ninety-nine good qual

ities and one bad one, and if that man has a neighbor who is continually speaking of the one bad quality and never of the nine-ty-nine good ones, you may safely set it down gentleman, that he is a mean man,

and a WHIG." There, ye National Clay Whigs take that home with you—think of
