Uistrict Convention.-"

•t Tbo Chairman of the Republican County Cen.'ral Committees of the Eighth Congressional distiict. are requested to. meet at the Clerk's Office in this city, on Thursday May 27th—at 10 o'clock A. M., to make arrangements for holding a Disliist Nominating Convention.—Lafayette Journal.

Lew. Wallace & the Congressional Race. In a letter to the Review of lasl week, Mr. Wallace dediscs having his name' brought before the Convention as a candidate for Congress. He cannot swallow the English swindle. Tlio fraud is too glaring, the bribe too manifest, the corruption loo deep. In a manly independent spirit he spurns the thing as degrading, disgraceful—insulting not only to the North collectively but to every northern man who has a spark of independence glowing in his breast. Mr. Wallace's letter will meet a hearty response from a vast majority of tbe people. But there are those who. feel the truth of his propositions and the correctness of his principles in their inmost souls, who will openly condemn Mr. Wallace for his fearless condemnation of that party measure though black as tophet.

Some there are who will sacrifice honor, integrity, their country's good, everything, rather than Eunder party ties. Mr. W. will doubtless be anathematized by some over zealous old liners, and he will be condemned by his party his prospects may be obscured for the present, but in the end he will be sanctioned and approved not only by the best men of his own party but by the best of all parties.

It is well known that we have not been acting politically with Mr. Wallace, and that wo opposed his election to the State Senate and it may now be said that.wc nre hoping that he will unite with the Republicans ^/While wo ilesire all. Democrats who soe and condemn the frauds of the present '"administration to act and vote with us yet, we have no idea that Wallace will act with that party. We merely intend to express our approval of his couise on this great question of the right of the people' to frame their own constitution.— Our purpose is to.. approve the right and condemn the wrong, come from where it may. •-•.. ,/.s sail il Si'f1 if L—» -4 POOR CIIAtlLET._,•

Who are growing ^orpJ.ultra and exclur sive1—who are trying to "gull the people."

f^e,rio|\s^charges

against'some one and, I-watit here to sajc to you, that I know of no denomination id Christendom, who make Baptjsin the alpha and omega of' /llieir religion and if you will show them to me I will help pjtr pose them. Neither do I knowr of any who'teach that Baptism hasr one .and ojily one signification This charge has often been brought against us, and has as often been refuted. 1 now state the following:'. ,1st. That, that individual who teaches his, people that we (.Christians) teach that Baptism is the alpha and omega of our religion, he is "gulling the people." 2d. lie who charges, us with teaching.' that baptizo has one and only one signification, he is'deceiving the people. 3d. He that stands before his congregation with his Bible in his hand, and knowing the meaning of the word bpptizo, and teaches, his people that feaptizo means to Sprinkle, in its primary or legitimato sense, or in the neighborhood of it, is gulling the people, and his "ignorance or temerity ought to be rebuked."

Again, you say, that' you have learned to esteem the Baptist of Crawfordsville, as' the most liberal class, of Baptist, flhis I have no objection to and I assure yon that,you do not esteem them, more highly than I do hut if the Christian Church is the ultra Church to which 'you refer, in compariso,n with the Baptist,, you are mistaken so far as ultraism on Baptism is concerned. For example, you go to the Baptist on Communion seaon, and ask tlicm to admit you. Thcjr will tell you no. And why? lrou say, are we not christians? They answer yes. Why not then admit us Because, say they, yon have not been Baptized, and we make Baptism the test. How is it when you come to the Lord's Table in our congregation? We say, examine yourselves, and so eat. And yet we are the "ultra Imraersionists", and they are the "liberal and Catholic Baptist/'

If there were any difference between tbe Old and New School Baptists on the subject of Baptism, I would, think you xnent them, but I know of none.

J*pyjr, my De^r, Brother I hope if yoo did not mean the Christian Ohrirch, you will be so kind as to let the publfc kilow it, that we may no longer lay under the charge of gulling the people, and making Baptism the alpha and omega of our religion, &e.

From Fornej'a Philadelphia Press, Jlay 1.. 'A park anil Fatal Friday.

if we had ever been animated by a partisan feeling, we should now be rejoiced et the action of the Congress of the United States in the passage of the great fraud, consummated at the city which bears the' honored name of WASHINGTON, on the 30th day of April, 1858: on Friday, the most ominous day of all the week,- (according to superstition, still obeyed even by the most intelligent circles.) This wicked deed of profligate politicians will stir the moral sense of the country to its profoundest depths. It will awaken wide-spread indignation. It will call out emotions which have been stilled because, such, a deed was believed to be impossible and it will hurl into utter obscurity and- shame those servants of the pepple wha have sought this opportunity tp assist in a betrayal, as wanton as'it was causeless and unnecessary.— To see these men gibbeted and transfixedbefore the eyes of the world may-be a melanchqly- satisfaction and to this extent the black busines of: the blackest Friday, that ever this, century has been, may be full of compensation.

But we have no rejoicing over a common shame.fiifWe have no words of congratulation at any event which inflicts disgrace upon our common country. The mqre we deliberate upon the record of the last fourteen months, the ihoue- do we.feel that^a blow had- been struck at the very heart of. Our institutions', from which we

may never reco%*er.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

WASHINGTON, May 10.—^A correspondent of the New York Times says1 the difficulty whicli has occurred between Sena1 tor Pugh of .Ohio and tM President is ap-i parently irreconcilable, though efforts have been made to patch up a peace. The jfrarrej has-gone so far tha^ Pugh declares he will never again" enter the .^White

:House

while 'Biiehanan President, ind the President' is .reported to have- said that he regards Pugh as no better than. Hale. This difficulty, together'with other causes, have delayed. the Ohio appointments, which haVe^not beeh- made yet.- ItiS impossible, however, to pass over Pngh's friends entirely, since they constitute-the Lecompton branch of sthe Ohio Democracy. In the particiilar case'where P-tigh's wishes wfere most disregarded was the' appointment, of Marshal of the Northern District of Ohio. His candidate was also supported by Bnrns, Miller, and others, of the Ohio delegation* none ol whom seem to exercise a vprj great amount of influence on the President.

Any rumors that JudgaDouglas is going to: Kansas to stump it against the adoption of the Lecompton English programme are unfounded. Douglas says he will ad-

LATER FROM KANSAS.

Border Ruffian Murder at Fort Scott.

Special Correspondence oftlie Chicago Tribune

A message has tliis moment reached me from Fort Scott, giving the Tiiost distressing accounts oftlie outrages upon free State men. One was sentenced to be shotEight ruffians took him to the timber and drew lots to see who should commit the deed. It fell on Brockett^ when-'he deliberately shot him dead for no offence, but his opiniom Tho District Court is broken up. Judge Williams dares not have Free State men come there The U. S. soldiers join the guerillas of nights, unknown to the officers, to scour the country. Seven have been convicted of this offence.

Nearly all the settlers have left the Little Osage Valley, of all parties. Eight' wagon loads of Free State settlers left in one' company last week, who tell the most horrible. tales of their sufferings. Mapleton. the settlement of the Vermont Colony, is nearly deserted. Men are shot down in cold blood without provocation, and all the horrors of the Shannon war are now felt-by that distracted neighborhood. Such is the reward of: a garrison of troops, when they only aid the tyrant. VIGIL.

LATER FROM UTAH. y( ST. Louis, May 10.—Independence dispatches announce the arrival of Mr. Mason, who left Camp Scott March 3d. liis •nev/s is not important.

Gen. Johnson was anxiously awaiting the arrival of Capt. Marcy. Tho health of,.the army is remarkably good. Provisions wero becoming scarce, but supplies were expected from Fort Laramie.

Mr. Mason was detained seventeen days by snow storms. lie,met Col. Hoffman's command 140 wiles .beyond Fort Kearney.

Twelve hundred troops have arrived here within the last three days, the greater portion of whom pushed on immediately to Fort Laramie.

The Republican's Leavenworth correspondent notices a rumor from Camp Scott that Captain Marcy .cannot: reinforce Gen. Johiistpn until the end^ of June but the Republican discredits this editorially, and States that Marcy would not be detained moVe.'than ten days waiting for reinforcements ordered by Gen. Garland, and would then be in a condition to march, ,to p^mp Scott!' ]A 7

Several Sfanta Fe merchants ariived here on Saturday, but bring no news of importance. They suffered: co.nsiderably from storms and cpld weather. Every train will lose a greater or less number of animals. All the streams are high, and water covered the: plains .Ji j'They met Indians who reported the loss of nearly all their animals by extreme cold, and met immense Words of buffalo within a^day's ride of the settlement in Kansas.

The Democratic convention in the fourth district have unanimously nominated Jas. Craig for re-election *tP Gongress.

pISEASE OF THE LIVEH.

By this disease we understand an inflamation^ cither in the membrane or substance of the liv-i er, known by dull pains intheriqht side, tho stomach always disordered, tbe yellow tinge of the skin, dry cough, tongue coated, costiveness^" high-colored urine, and of a thick nature severe weakness aud severe pains in the head.

Tlie quantity of corrupted humors in the rcgiotf of the liver, causes a defective secretion of the bile. The liver when healthy, serves as a filter to the blood, to scperate all impurity from it, or to refine it. "When diseased, it cannot purify tho'-5 blood, which, when sent to thclungs, brains,and otiicr parts iii a morbid condition, may causa' Jaundice, Cousumption, Insanity, &c., and with-^ holding the natural stimulous to the intestine?,*' ctiyses Pyspepsia, Piles, and other oompl&ints, a«j you perceive the direct way to unravel aud tear" tbe whole system to pieces.

A patient, suffering from this complaint, sho'd resort to speed relief. Yet there are very few medicines worth a cent in curing diseases. Wo say, use Dr. Morse's Indian Boot Pills, as they are composed of plants and roots they will bo found a sure, cure for this painful disease, because they purge from the body of those corrupt and stagnant humors,and so dense and renew tho blood, which is every description of disease.— From 3 to 4 of the above pills, taken every night oh geing to bed, will in a few days entirely re-" lievo the body of everything that is opposed to-s health.

Morse's Indian Root Pills are sold/ by all dealers in Medicines..
