Editor.

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1837.

WILLIAM A. WELSHEAR, Cincinnati 0.,is our authorized agent in that City, to receive all monies on subscription and advertising for the Journal. Office, Zeller's Dru? Store.

PARTICULAR NOTICE.

All legal advertisements—consisting of administrator's notices and sale, notices of non-resides cy, bills of divorce, and all attorney's notices, must be paid for when brought in, or they will not appear. This rule is imperative, and will not be departed from to accommodate friend or Ibe.

ADMINIS

TRATION.

Who that has any appreciation of passJDg events can now doubt the pro-si a very tendencies of the present administration Who so blind as not to see that all the ^Acts, the policy, the intent of Mr. Buchanan, conspire to give power to that illegal, unconstitutional body, the Bogus Legislature "Who does not know that it is the determined will of the Cabinet to strike down the rights of free State men of Kansas, to ostracise the entire North, to crush out over their boasted adherence to Popular Sovereignty, and to allow the opposers of freedom and tho friends of hnraan slavery to plant the iron heel of despotism on the fair plains of Ivansas? Q-ov. Geary, whom

The recognition of the pro-slavery Legislature of Kansas, whose laws have been pronomieed'unconstitutional and a disgrace to the age by all parties the refusal to sustain Gov. Geary in his fair and honorable efforts to restore and maintain order and peace the refusal to remove Judge Lecompte, one of the basest and most violent agitators the refusal to confirm the appointment of Jas. O. Harrison the delivery of that odious & tyrannical opinion of the Supreme Coujt in the Dred Scott case, just upon the heels of the inauguration all conspire to prove that the present administration i* intensely and profoundly pro-slavery that all its powers will be used to forco slavery upon Kansas. They have sustained the Registry Law of that illegal Legislature, and in so doing, thev have crushcd Sqnatte Sovereignty,

in the hands of ruffians to exscuto any def- of the political chess-board, and if not inite policy for mere party purposes. They were not men to yield to the dictum of self constituted rulers, and give the weight of their official influence to party success. But tho oppressive, the unjust, the tyranical, the purely political course of tho Cabinet is bnt bringing on a fearful crisis.— Not always will the Free Stale Men bear

these oppressions tho time will come when beware of the 'Nolan Wing.' Give your acquiescence must cease to bo a virtue not I names and influence to Mr. Snyder, and always will they be bound. "lo suffer then you will have done vour duty. and be strong" has been their motto, and the strength of their will has increased with tho amount and severity of their suffering and with tho power, the might and determination'of an outraged and insulted people, they will ere long arise and assert their rights. The gloom which for a time seemod passing away from the borders of Kansas, is now gathering faster and thicker the clouds are assuming a deeper and darker hne the ray of sun-light which gleamed for a moment, is again withdrawn, and left more fearful darkness. The glad note of peace which but faintly echoed through her borders is hushed and naught if now heard but the oppressor's shouts.— How long, oh, how long shall the sons of freedom bear these oppressive burdens How long will the powers of this beautiful Republic give the power of its official influence to the cause of human oppression? How long will the powers at Washington turn a deaf ear to the earnest pleadings of Freemen and clasp to their friendly embrace the oppressors of humanity

which they have so long and loudly heralded forth. Those Registers are pro-sla-vory men, with power to expunge and purge, and add too as they see proper.— They have determined that those who go there to become actual settlers after the 1st of April, shall not havo the privilege of voting they have resolved that those who were there previous to tho 1st of April shall have tho power to make the Constitution and Laws, knowing at the same time that hundreds and thousands are en route for Kansas to become permanent settlers. They thus deprive the Squatter of Sqnatter Sovereignty. They say to the few, make laws for the many. They virtually clothe the pro-slavery Registers with power to frame a Constitution, enact Laws and form a government for the thousands who are seeking a home in that Territory. Can this be just? Is this the part and policy of a puro and impartial administration Is it Democratic, is it Republicanism Was this the spirit which prompted our forefathers in their memorable struggles? Can the freemen of our country sanction and sustain a policy so repugnant to every principle of free institutions, so defiant of all tho doctrines of a true democracy? Let the future respond.

April

President Pierce regarded as a man unbiased by party spirit, who aimed and used all possible means to administer impartial justice, who for a time seemed to have quelled the troubles, who loved and sought the poace of Kansas and his country, was basely deserted, left at the mercy of those who sought his life, and sought to destroy all his well directed efforts for tlva restoration of order and harmony, has been driven from his position as Governor—not by the actual settler, not by the law abiding citizens of Kansas, but by those demons in human shape, who acting upon the principle of rule or rnin, would sack the ^peaceful towns of Kansas, imbruo their hands in their fellows blood, incite rebellion, and kindle tho flames of civil war, that they might curse the soil, and curse Stand from Under! tho people with the tyranny of human slavery. And those are tho men who now have the ear of the present administration, these are tho men whose policy Mr. Buchanan is bound to enforce, these are the men who now rule the powers at Washington, (so fat as Kansas is concerned,) these are the men who are at the bottom of all the disturbance, all the turmoil, all tho bloodshed that have disgraced the Territory.— If the present administration desired peace in Kansas, why did they not support Gov. Geary and give him power to carry out a correct policy? Why was not Judge Lecompte removed and Jas. 0. Harrison confirmed? Ah! they knew that neither Geary nor Harrison could be made tools

An Extra Session.

Tho State Sentinel favors the calling of an extra session of the legislature, and thinks tho Democracy cannot extricate itself in any other way from the difficulties in which they hnve plunged tho Stato and her Institutions. Gov. Willard thinks no good could result from such a call, as the members would not do their duty if called together. He claims the right of marking out that duty, and the Sentinel denies him the power to do so. How can the legislature do its duty unices convened Willard refuses to give the members thepower to do what he says they would not do if they had the power. How does he know this From the fact that he considers it their duty to do precisely what he tells them, and they refuse. We care "but little about tho matter, as they have bro't themselves into this difficulty by their own negligence. By their failure to act while in session, we are to have our Charitable Institutions closed, and tho inmates turned loose upon the mercies of those who have already been taxed for their support. A beautiful system of legislation indeed, with which we are cursed.

Ele0fan.—"Coming Events tneir Shadows," &c. The township election on Monday last, resulted in the triumph of the entire Republican ticket, save two candidates—Clerk and one Constable. Notwithstanding the efforts of Sam Wilson, Jesse Cumberland and Jim Tammany, who were instrumental in bringing out Nolan, an Irish Catholic and whisky-seller, for Supervisor, there were enough honest old liners left to defeat him by voting for Mr. Duckworth, a very excellent man, though an old liner. The truth is, these men care but littlo for an Irishman or any other foreigner, except when their votes are necessary to place them in power. Not even the little office of Supervisor can bo entrusted to a patriotic son of Erin, so long as there is an Amorican left to fill it. Talk to us about your love for the oppressed Irish, and your horror of all secret organizations, when you yourselves are not willing to t:ust a poor Irishman with the office of Road Supervisor. Beautifnl consistency indeed.— All your loud cries about Know Nothingism, &c., only remind us of the devil trying to rebuke sin. But this result is only a forerunner of the defeat which awaits Old Lineism in the future.

An effortis being made by one Jim Tammany and his friends, to remove from our Post Office the present incumbent, Mr. GEO.

SNYDEII.

Acting upon tho priu-

ceple that it is always best to choose the lesser of two evils, and knowing that we must be content with one or the other, we are decidedly iu favor of retaining Mr. Snyder, who has been a faithful servant of the public during the last four years, and who is in every way qualified for the position. The "Nolan Wing" of the Democracy are detetmined to have a such at the Treasury "pap," and now that the leader of the "Wing" has been defeated in the election of his right bower, he tries to go it blind on the left! Jim is well skilled in the tricks\

blvffed in the outset, will do much to disturb the peace and harmony of the National Democracy. As petitions are being circulated for the removal as well as the re-appointment of Mr. Snyder, we hope tho Republicans will not fail to do him and themselves the justice of signing the latter ono immediately. We say again.

Railroad Collision. ST. LOUIS, April 7.

A collision occnreu about 4 o'clock this afternoon, between the Ohio and Mississippi, and Terre Haute and Alton trains, at the crossing near Illinoislown. Both engines were thrown off" the track, and were badly injured. Daniel Jackson, a runner for the O. and M. road, was killedand a brakeman on the T, H. and A. train had his leg broken. No injnry to the passenger cars or passengers.

TOLKDO, April T.

At the charter election yesterday, the entire peoples' ticket, with the exception of one Alderman and Assessor, was elected by 400 majority.

LOCAL—MISCELLANEOUS.

OUR BUSINESS MEN.

F. H. Far & Co.. did not* purchase aB the goods east of the Alleghanies, but they supposed they did purchase enough to supply all the wants of their customers—but an appreciating community are playing smash with their calculations, by emptying their Bhelvea.

GALEY FC RIDGB.—This firm is now engaged in a business in which every man, woman and child in Montgomery County iB interested. They offer to "clothe the naked and feed the hungry," as cheap as any other house in this city.

OITT APPEARANCE OF CRAWFORDSVILLE.—If any one doubts the fact that Crawfordsville is really a City in point of business, as well as inhabitants they havo only to enter the mammoth establish ment of Campbell, Galey Harter, and \vitnes3 the amount of business done there in the short space of one hour. Goods arrive and depart by the wagon load or ton every day, and still there is no end to their stock.

STILL WATER RUNS DEEP,—Although our friend Harvey Benefiel does not do much in the way of "blowing," he certainly does his share of selling If you want further proof of the fact, call and see the immense piles of Fancy and Staple dry goods which he has just received.

C. H. CLOUD & Co.'—The quiet, unassuming manner in which this firm is doing business, is another evidence of the benefit derived from a system of judicious ad ve rtising in the Journal. Look out for new goods, and an advertisement in our next issue.

BROWN & "VVASSON.—This firm is now in receipt of some of the richest and best dry goods which the East can produce. At least the ladies say so, and they are the proper judges of all "fancy fixins." Further particulars next week.

BL.UH, BROWX &L SIMPSON.—The manner in which this firm are selling off their splendid assortment of goods, is a caution to Old Fogies.— Cheap goods and advertising iu the Journal, are the secrets of their success.

ALLEN, GALET & KEERAN—Advertise a room full of new and choice goods, which they promise to sell at figures to suit the times. Times are hard 'tis true, but if any firm can sell goods to accord with them, this one will. Call in and see old man CALFEE any how.

CRAWFORD FC MULLIKIN—Do not make any unnecessary ado, nor do they gass about their busi ness—yet they are appreciated by the community as honest, fair dealing men, and reap their reward.

"HAVE YOU SEEN SAM ?"—If you have not, make haste to cultivate his acquaintance. He is to be seen at all times supplying the wants of the numerous customers of Hartman & Son, one door west of the Hoi ton House.

"MARK TUE MAN THAT SKI.I.S THE CHEAPEST GOODS.—The author of that celebrated Institution," is Jno. It. Robinson, of the firm of J. R. & S. Robinson. That's the place to save the "dimes." Look out for their new stock and advertisement.

Crane House Omnibus.

Mr. R.

'A Buck in the Lick!'

TAYLOR,

proprietor of this ex

cellent Hotel, has just received from Cincinnati, a fine large Omnibus, for the accommodation of his guests and those who may wish to be taken to and from the trains. This is but another evidence of the prosperity of the Crano House under tho management of Mr. Taylor. As a further proof of the reputation of the house we subjoin the following complimentary notice from the Indianapolis Daily Journal:

CHANE HOUSE, CRAWFORDSVILLE.—This

house is centrally located in our neighboring town, the county of Montgomery, and in the person of Mr. It. Taylor has a proprietor who understands doing full and ample justice fo all who stop beneath his roof. Omnibusses convey passengers to and from the cars free of charge. Guests are cared for iu a manner that gives them entire satisfaction, and no large bills are handed them for payment. We do not know of any public house in any of the towns of Indiana, of the size of Crawfordsville, more comfortable as a home for a short or long time than the Crane House. Crawfordsville is a pleasant town to visit. There are many attractions about it which those who are intimately acquainted with it and its people will not need to be told of. We say to everybody throughout the country, stop at the Crane House when you visit Crawfordsville.

Cnn't Swallow Dred Scott.

The Kalamazoo Gazette, the most able and influential of all the interior Democratic papers of Michigan, has bolted its party. It cannot stand the Dred Scott decision. It has not flinched at tho violation of the Missouri Compromise, nor protested against the border ruffian usurpation in Kansas but now that its party havo planted themselves upon tho Dred Scott decision—denied the citizenship, and the usual rights of protection by the civil power, to over half a million of free colored people, and agreed that slavery shall be a national institution, overruling State laws and constitutions, and claiming the protection of the American flag on the high seas—having reached such a depth of debasement, it can no longer follow them. Lafayette Journal.

#3rThe Chicago people have been chronicled as a fast people, and. they are deserving of that reputation. The Varieties Theater has recently been opened in that city for the purpose of giving performances on Sunday evenings—by special permission of the authorities.

A large settlement of communists

has been organised in Union County Ind. The members abstain entirely from the use of meat, tobacco and whisky. They design embarking into gardening on a pretty extensive 6cale will cultivate music to a full extent will erect a hall, to be called "Free Hall," where the discussion and investigation of principles, moral, religious and political, we believe, are to be encouraged..

ID° What has become of "LUCT," our much admired and favorite Poetess We would be pleased to hear from her again, as her productions always find a welcome space in our columns.—Journal, of last week. I've been dreaming all the winter, of a bright, a

fairy form,

That slumbered sweetly on my bosom, when with

me 'twas life's dawn.

Her dark eye has been upon me, her dimpled S hand has been in mine S The scent of flowers has been around me, as when them In her hair I twined Her little feet, how oft I've heard them—pattering o'er my chamber floor, Gathering up her broken playthings, as she did in days of yore. I've looked me down so quickly—thinking, surely I should see All her playthings lying snugly as they used upon my knee. I've been thinking how I watched her as she grew from day to day, Till a blushing maiden grew she—lovely as the llowers of May Throwing o'er my pathway ever, a fairy cloud of golden hue, Ever changing—ever varying—alwayslovely, ever new. I thought an angel had been with me, walking softly by my side, Garnering for me bud and flower, as they floated on life's tide. My heart it bounded lightly, and I sang from day to day, As my little birdling warbled, to cheer me on my way. But when the white snow falleth, we laid her down to rest, The rose-bud of our house-hold hearth, that slumbered on my breast And I the happy mother—in one short wintry day, .j Became an aged pilgrim—journeying sadly on my way. I've been thinking all the winter, of her far off distant grave, Of the bare old oaken branches, that above it sadly wave Of the waters softly moaning—singing, dirgelike ever more. O'er the grave of one so cherished on Ohio's peaceful shore. Then my heart grew sad and weary, and my hair it turneth grey, v••• And the words of song when written—would bo washed by tears away. But when the bright flowers springeth, and the birds begin to sing, The clouds will drift asunder, and my soul will upward wing And all that's bright and beautiful, that meets my upward gaze, Will be garnered up with truthfulness, and dressed in roseate rays For when the clear bright sunshine is gleaming far and wide, She gently comes in angel garb and journeys by my side. Pure thoughts will then come thronging fast— aye, gushing ever free— I'll twine them in bright fairy wreaths, and give them all to thee. Lucy.

Princi

pal of the Female Seminary, in this placc. There! just as we expected. In tho language of the abused old lady, Mrs. Partington, "we told you the cow would eat up the the bread tray!" We knew when John became Principal, and Sue Music Teacher in this Institution, that it would not be long ere the young Prof, would fall a victim to the Su-thing influence of the smiles and music of the fair one who is now promoted to the position of an equal partner in the proprietorship of the Seminary. Long life and unbounded pleasures attend the happy couple.

OBITUARY.

DIED,

at his residence in Crawfordsville,

Indiana, March 12th, of Pulmonary Consumption, Mr.

ANDREW

LYNN.

He was born in Mason County, Kentucky, in 1819 came to this place in 1838 received the education which fitted him for business, in Wabash College, located here was taken by J. W. Lynn, Esq., his elder brother, into his office, (tho office of the Clork of tho County and Circuit Courts,) where ho continued, part of the time in his brother's employ, and part of the time as the incumbent of the office, for sixteen years, until he was compelled .to quit it, by that' insidious disoase, which, after two years, has removed him trom this earthly scene. He was a faithful and competent public servant a man of popular address, who numbered his friends among all political parties and all religious denominations. It was a gratifying testimonial to his official fidelity that the honorable Court, in session here at the time of his funeral solemnities, adjourned their proceedings to attend upon them.

For several years, he maintained a credible profession of religion, in connection with the Presbyterian Church (O. S.) in this place. Sometimes, on a review of his life, he expressed regret that, absorbed in the business and cares of his public trust, ho had not been a more devoted Christian and faitlitnl servant of the Lord Jesus but his hope of forgiveness and final acceptance with God, through the atonement, was firm and

unclouded.

Ho has left behind, a wife and child of two years, besides a wide circle of relatives and friends, to mourn their loss, but mourn not as others that have no hope.

jt3TThe following communication came to us through the post office. Wo most cheerfully give it a place in our columns. It is from the pen of an old liner, who feels that his party has acted most shamefully in attempting to elect an irresponsible

Jennings, Jackson Bartholomew, Ripley, Decatur, Dearborn, Franklin, Favette and Union,. Rush, Wayne, Henry Shelby,

It was the

precious doctrine which he loved after he had tired of earthly things, on which he dwelt with fondness in his conversation, on which he hoped in the near prospect of eternity. We have not his literal dying testimony to the faithfulness of the Saviour, when we asked it, we could not be sure that he heard or comprehended us but we know that death is no enemy to those who are prepared to die. If they should not die with triumph, they do with safety.

The Republicas of Center Township Indianapolis, have gained a majority over the old line Democracy, ranging from 150 to 200 votes.

Irish

catholic liquor-seller, as Supervisor of this district. Jim Nolan, to whom he alludes, as we understand, is not responsible for 810,00, and as supervisor, many hundreds would pass through or into his hands.— His comments are just, and should find an echo in the heart of every old liner in the county. Well may he exclaim, "Oh, shame on the old liners of Montgomery

Jim Noland, vs. Supervisor. Never in the political history of Montgomery county—in the State—was there a nomination which in point of depravity—of unrestrained demagogueism, aajBtas the nomination of Jnmes Noland, for Supem^r, by the old liners on Saturday last. Nominated did we say—yes, nominated—and his opponent a man every way worthy of the office, while he (the said Noland) had not the least qualification that a supervisor is required to have. That nomination was a death-blow to old lineism in this county, for the nominee was a character, which above all other, is the most despised and detested—that of a WHISKY SELLER. Shame upon you old liners, who boast so loudly about nationality—about the stars and

stripes of America's noble ensign—could you not by the extravagant use of the article by thousands find some one more worthy—more capable of being a candidate for supervisor, than Jim Noland Was he the unanimous choice of that once proud party Was he, because he dealt in, and sold your principles out by the glass, in your estimation more competent to fill the office than any other who is found in your ranks Has it come to this Has the Democratic party so far fallen from her once proud position, that the most desperate characters of our land are the ones who stand the highest in her ranks In the name of America—of justice—of right and of truth, does not that nomination fill your future with fearful forebodings Old Liners of Montgomery county, your race is run—your sun has set—and you now can cull from your ranks no other candidates, for your first choice has been successfully defeated.

DAMAGE BY FROSTS.

We notice by our Kentucky exchanges, that great damage has been done to the early vegetation in that state, and elsewhere in the South.— The garden vegetables have been entirely cut down in many places, mnch of which cannot be replaced owing to the scarcity of such seed. The Tobacco crop will be almost an entire failure.— But little seed was saved last year, and that having been exhausted by the early planting, leaves tobacco raisers with a poor prospect for a crop, if indeed they raise any. The fruit is all killed— apples, peaches, fcc. having been earlier in blooming this season than is usual in that climate. The frosts have not only damaged the crops &c. in Kentucky, but have even reached Louisiana and the extreme South. That^he damage aiready sustained by the tobacco and cotton planters of the south will materially afreet the trade of that section of the country, is beyond doubt. What affects them must affoct us in a great measure, as was proved by the failure of the sugar crop last year. We fear the same result will follow the severe frosts of the present season. If so we apprehend much difficulty will be found in obtaining even enough sugar to sweeten our tea and coffee, much less furnish our families with their usual amount of "sweet things." But we would not object to paying even the present high price if we did not know that we are compelled to do so

who would be better off and enjoy much better health from a more moderate use of it. Thousands of our children ere annually earned

The apportionment is as fol- derstand upwards of 840,000—of floating debt, besides relaying much of that portion of the Road originally built with longitudinal timbers, which have become rotten

RJPHE

WEATHER.—As

the list and comparing it with the vote of day, snow-flakes are falling, resembling!

last fall, you will readily see that it is jn

disease arising from the use of the simple article of sugar. Men write, talk and lecture on the injurious effects of coffee, tea, tobacco, &c., &c.,and never say aught against tho use of an article which is productive of more evil than all these put together. It generates disease in the child, and thus crushes out the very germ of vitality, and prepares thousands of our youth for premature graves. By a moderate use of the article of sugar, we would live longer, enjoy better health, be able to do more of real good in the world, and could buy all we really need, at a mnch lower price than wo are now paying. But as we have "wandered from the storm," we will return to the point from whence we started, and say to our readers that the best safeguard against froits in this country, is to keep your seeds out of the

certain three cornered pieces of nn-

mentionable linen. We shall have winter all spring, if not all summer.

Meeting of the Directors of the E. St C. Rail Road.

The Board met yesterday in this city.

I and wurn out they have also provided large additional accommodations for the increasing business of the Road.

The Directois did not thtnk it expedient to adopt unconditionally, at the present time, the amendment to their charter authorizing them to change the termination of their Road from Crawfordsville to Attica there are some matters which should be previously arranged and before fully

committing themselves to the undertaking,

1 they were desirous of learning what aid could be secured for tho extension of the Road boyond its present terminus on the proposed line above. They, therefore,

I voted themselves a committea to canvass for subscriptions for the extension of the Road to Rockville and in Mav next an-

°^ler meeting will be held at Terre Haute,

to which the Stock Committee will report,

1 and at which a final determination, in regard to the extension of the Road through to Attica, will be made. That that reso-

I lution will bo adopted no one doubts.—

1 jn

time, all parties along the line

Shelby & Hancock joint- & ]v of tho extension must prepare themselves Madison,

1 to give all the aid in their power to the en-

terprise. It is understood that about §35 000 or 840,000 will be required to complete tho grade to Roclcville, a distance of 23 miles and an early effort will be made to raise the sum and there can be no doubt of fhc success of the Directors in this part of their labors. The county of Park is one

1 of the richest in tho State, and the Road is
