OUR NEIGHBOR.

When Douglas first struck out in opposition to the base and tyrannical course of Mr. Buchanan, our neighbor of the Review seomed to have caught the spirit and actually gave some slight evidence of recovery from the miserable and loathsome disease of old-lineism, which had so long been preying upon his system. For a time, 'he seemed to breathe free and easy, and ceased to uttor forth hia wild and vulgar old-line ravings. Hopes were entertained that he might possibly 3ret come out, at least, a decent Douglas democrat but the insidious disease had too deep and strong a hold upon him —his relapse was sudden and violent, and leaves no hope of a permanent cure. The health-giving remedies, of independence, freedom of thought, selfrespect, devotion to-truth and liberty, proiluced but temporary effects upon his decaying system. The canker was internal and deep seated, but has gradually worked its way to tho surface, and is now discharging itself through the columns of the Review: That the disease was malignant, foul, ulcerous, cankered, can be seen from

Us weakly discharges/ Such vast quantifies of "wool0 and "niggerism" are thrown out, that his friends need not be surprised if wool should sprout up all over him. He is even now paving the way, to claim, as his own, and his party's, the darkest spe cic? of Abolitionism. ..

TIIE VICE PRESIDENT. Sinco the Hon. J. C. Breckenridge made" his first appearance in public life, we have entertained forliini .a very high regard* notwithstanding the abhorrence with which we looked upon his political principles.— His deportment as a gentleman, his dignified manner, his courteousness towards political opponents, rendered him popular with all parties but his recent course in lescending from his high position as Vice President of tho United States, to mingle in tho local party strifes of tho day,-is humiliating and disgustingin the extreme.

What a spectacle would it present to the World, were the President, Vice President, the Cabinet, and other officials to engage constantly and actively in the political contests and strifes which agitate our country? The very idea is revolting to the good sense of every high minded and honorable man. The President should be tho Piesident of the wholo People, and not of a party. The same is true of the Yico President. They should look solely to the discharge of their high duties! They should stand above the turmoil of party conflicts! They should keep themselves aloof from the turbulent 6treams of partisan warfare! To mingle in this warfare, is but to sacrifice the exalted character which should peitain to every officer of the General Government. The man who has been honored with tho office of Vice President of tho United States, who will so far forgot himself and his station, as to become a partisan speaker during his term of office, is unworthy the place—he degrades himself and his office—he offers an insult to the American People—he disrobes himsolf of that impartiality which should pertain to every high officer of Government—he becomes, at once, a partisan officer.

It really seems to have become the settled aim and purpose of the Old Line party, to convert the Government into a system of party machinery, for the accomplishment of party ends. Every officer from the President down to the pettiest Post-Master, has become a political wireworker and all the patronage and power of their office is brought to bear upon elections. "Secret Circulars" are issued to office-holders, who are required to use a portion of their salary, anil all their influence for the success of party. Honesty, capability and faithfulness are all thrown aside in lieu of zealous partisanship! Such policy is based upon corruption, imparts its influence to all the machinery, and will, if not checked, destroy our Government. Let the people rebuke this spirit before it is too late.

JIORALITY IN CRAM FORDSVILI.E, Since our last issue (Thursday) our town—in former years quiet and orderly— has been one continual stir and confusion, in all manner of wickedness and should things continue long as they have during the past few days, we fear our town will soon lose all claims to decency, morality, or honesty. The time has come when we can say in truth, that we are hemmed in on every corner, by doggeries and billiard saloons, in their most hellish forms established for the purpose of misleading the youth and unsuspecting among us and we see daily and hourly the fruits of their demon-like pursuits:-

On Thursday night of last week, the work in its true form commenced, by a gang of desparadoes who make these sinks their places of resort, forcing into an alley and filching from the the pockets of a drunken Irishman, by tho name of Pat. McMullen, about three hundred dollars.— The men charged with and arrested for committing this aet, are John Griffith, Wra. Gwynnp, and Tom Brown. Thoy all underwent an examination before Esq. Pursel, who fixed their bail-bonds at $1,000 each and in default of which they were committed to jail to await their trials in the Circuit Court. Griffith and Gwynup were arrested by tho officers on Friday night, and Brown on Sunday about noon.

On Saturday a young man by the name of Lowman, who resides near Darlingtoii in this county, was lodged in our jail for horse-stealing, lie had taken the stolen horse to Cincinnati, and there made an attempt to dispose of him but failing to produce a bill of sale of the same, was arrested.

On yesterday, Wednesday, a young man by the name of Wm. Goggin, was arrested under a charge of having stolon some money, and a certificate of the deposit of a watch for repairs, of some person whose name we did not learn, and on an examination, was committed to jailrf to await a hearing at tho next term of tho Circuit Court. Our county jail has now within its walls, nine men and one woman, ail committed for violating the laws of their country. It is truly sorrowful to think of men and women, becoming so debased, as to compcl the officers of tho law for tho safety of tho community, to confine them libs mad-men. But its oven so. Their confinement in jail however, will be short, as the fall term of the Circuit Court, convenes on Monday next. Upon an examination, should their innocence be established, they will again be set at liberty but if proven to tho contrary, their resting place will be in an institution erected by our State, for the reception of such as mil go on in their God-forsaken pursuits.

CIRCUIT COUET.—Tho fall term of this Court, commences in this place on Monday next. From the fullness of the Jail, we would suppose the Docket to be large.

^SrTho Review has much to say, of late, about tho inconsistency,.the duplicity, tho hypocrisy of|tthers. ^Ho talks as glibly, and as fluently, as purely and perfectly innocent him&lf.

He,

nobis fel

low if his story is to be belie.ved halinev6r manifested the slightest inconsistency—~ not tho faintest symptom of hypocrisy.— He seems to have forgotten his previous opposition to Lecompton, his bitter denunciation of the English bill. Hestfeuas to have forgotten his hostility to Mr. Buchanan's Kansas policy!. He almost, or quite swore in his wrath, that he would never support any man who ever squinted toward Lecompton, or the English Bill! Treacherous memory that he has Why, he was violently opposed to Lecompton and now sustains it! He was bitterly opposed to the English Billi and now sustains it! He denounced the Kansas policy of the Administration, but now sanctions it! Was he honest then, or, is he honest now Was he hypocritical then, or, is he hypocritical now One or the other, he mnst be Ah, neighbor clear thine own skirts, ere thou cbargest othors

QUERY.—Why don't the Old-Liners bring D. W. Vorhees & Co., the Lecompton orators, .into the 8th Congressional District? If your principles are National, the discussion of them will certainly result in no harm. Make your appointments gentlemen, and we will publish them gratis, with pleasure. Where's McDonald?

A FIRE.—The Machine shops of New Albany fc Salem Railroad, at Lafayette, was destroyed by firo on last Monday morning, It was supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The Courier says "the total loss of the company will not exceed $8,000. The buildings were of frame, and not of a permanent character.

is now conceded that D. R.

Knox, has the best and cheapest stock of boots, shoes, clothing, hats and cap9, in our town and so large is their custom since they have opened, that they have been compelled to make purchases every week. Therefore, their slock is always new and complete, and of the latest designs. No lady or gent, can go into this establishment and find an old rusty garment and all that make their purchases at this house, go away smiling and delighted with the idea of saving two or three dollars by calling at the ''Cheap Store." We say, to those wanting a good boot go see their superior slock. They also havo a fine stock of gloves, h®siery, shirts, collars, cravats, &c., very low. Vj

GROCERY STORE.—Oar frisnd J. G. BOYLAND, has gone into the Family Grocery trade, at the old stand of E. Clark, on Washington street. Mr. B. intends increasing his stock, until it will prove to be one of the places where our citizens will be able to get any article in the line of Family Groceries they may wish to buy. Call in and see as yeu pass that way.— Read advertisement in another column,

i£3rSee the advertisement of Messrs. Ross & White in to-day's paper. These gentlemen sinco having their Cabinet buildings burned, are holding forth in No. 4, Commercial Row, where the public will be accommodated with all articles of Cabinet work, Chairs, &c.

They wish all those indebted to them, to call and settle immediately. Their loss was heavy in the late firo, and they are therefore compolled to make this reasonable request of their old customers.

The Daguerreian.

Mr. A. S. Hughee, the Daguerreian, is again at home and will be pleased to have his friends, and all others, who may wish a superior picture of any kind taken, to call at his rooms, in Empire Block—west end, 3d story. Mr. II., also, requests us to say, that he will be on the grounds of the Union Agricultural Fair, during the three days of exhibition, which is to be held at Russelville, Putnam county, commencing on Wednesday, Sept. 8th, with his grand Pavilion for the purpose of enabling all who may be at the Fair and dosire a superior likeness of themselves or friends to be accommodated.

Lecompton Popular Sovereignty. Jesse D. Bright in his speech on the Lecompton Bill,, expressed the following "conviction:'' "So strong, Mr. President, is my conviction of the viciousness of the prinoiple of submittingfto a direct vote of the people tho propriety of tho enactment or rejection of laws, that for one I am prepared io extend the same objection to the submission. of the entire Constitution to the same tribunal!!"

Mr. Vice President Breckenridge, in his late stump speech in Kentu6ky, said: "The startling doctrine has been started in this country that a constitution has no validity until submitted to the vote of the people.

As an abstract proposition I will never submit to it. I will never consent that Congress shall have the right to reject a constitution because the people of a Territory choose not to submit it to the people."

Aro not these extraordinary doctrines for Democrats to avow? Can stronger Federalism to be found in anything that eminated from the New England

Light School?—N. A. Tribune. ..

FROM,SALT LAKE.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27.—The Salt Lake correspondent of the Republican says that David A. Burr, son. of Surveyor General Burr, was in the city and had succeeded in getting Charles W. Mooeler, formerly clerk in tho surveyor's office, to file an affidavit denying the truth of his former affidavit sustaining the charges against Gen. Burr.

The Indians are more hostile than at any time since the Territory was settled. Nearly all the tribes are committing depredations, and a number of settlers have been killed, and several bonds of horses were run off.

As yet tho troops have made no effort to protect the settlers. The soldiers received their pay the latter part of July, after which a large number deserted, taking alone some mules and citizens' clothing from camp.

FROM KANSAS.

LEAVENWORTH, Aug. 26, per U. S. Express to Booneville.—A military Commission, authorized by the Secretary ot War to adjust certain difficulties between the Quartermaster Department and the contractors who furnished the mules for the Utah expedition, met yesterday at Fort Leavenworth. Present—Major Sherman, Lieut. Col. Roberts and General Gaines. The board made two ineffectual attempts to organize, and its preliminary proceedings were exceedingly unharmonious. The question of precedence in rank had not been definitely settled last evening.

ST. Loris, ftug. 28.—A Ji*patek- -froni Kansas City, 'dfstcd Afig. 26,' per U. S. Express to "Booneville, says that Monsieur Bordeau's party arrived there the night before from Pike'fe Peak for the purpose of procuring outfits to work newly discovered mines. They brought several ounces of gold, and confirm the existence of mines which aro situated on Cherry Creek, one of the most Southern branches of the Platte, in latitude 39.

President Buchanan ill an alarming Position. A correspondent from Bedford Springs to the Baltimore Sun, writes as follows: "The lady of Col. Alfred Spates, of Cumberland, Maryland, ono of the visitors at the Bedford Springs, by her dashing exploits with a pair of 6uperb horses has created quite a sensation. The other day she sent her card to tho President, who, ©f course, with his usual politeness, placed himself in hor charge, and the lady gave him a glorious round behind her gay 6teeds. Dashing through tho Bedford town at a spanking pace, the horses flceked with foam, the lady glowing with excitement, and tho President known to everybody, very serious alarm seized tho public mind that some aspiring dame had caught up tho Chief Magistrate of the United States, and was eloping with him. As it was observed, however that the President took it very calmly, called upon no one for help, and seemed perfectly resigned to the consequences, wohthor it was a broken neck or matrimony, nobody interfered. In good time the party returned, and the President was restored safo and sound to tho anxious friends."

PERSONAL RELICS OF GENERAL PERSIFER F. SMITH.—A sale of tho personal effects of the late Gen. Persifer F. Smith took place yesterday, morning at the auction store of M. Thomas & Sous, which attracted a large number of persons. Tho articles comprised 234-lots. A French traveling clock brought $40 afield glass $22 another ditto $15 a chess board, made from tho wood of the flag staff at the palace of Mexico $12,50 a handsome dress sword was bought by Gen. R. Patterson for .$8 a pair of gold epauletts containing 64 diamonds, made in the City of Mexico, were sold to Mr.' E, McCoy for $100 a brass mounted saddle, with appropriate fixtures was bought by Gen.

The principal competition was for a large military arm chair, made of wood from the fortications of tho caslle of San Juan D'Ulloa, at Vera Cruz, which sold for $155.—Philadelphia Press, 23rf.

Bill English Deseited.

The constitutuents of Mr. BUCHANAN'S candidate in the Second Indiana District, are already showing marked symptoms of a general rebellion against the imperial decree from the ^Vhite House. The organ of the Washington County^ Democracy (the Salem democrat) repudiates ENGLLSH, and comes out directly for the Opposition candidate. A lively stampede of the Democracy of that county in the same direction, is spoken of as a certain event.— Thesame thingmay.be looked for in the other counties.— Cin. Gazelle ,.........

The explanation and eulogy he passed upon tho Dred Scott decision presents a striking contrast with his famous letter, written by himself, to a committee of his fellow citizens in thiB district. It is an admirable illustration of .his political consistency: __

ATTICJA, July 3, 1849.'

Gentlemen—Having seen your circular to the candidates of the District, in the public Press, and not wishing to conceal any opinion held by me in regard to the political question now agitating the pub lie mind, I hasten to reply to your inter rogatories. 1st. I do admit and believe thatf Con gress has the right to legislate on the sub ject of slavery for all the Territories the U. S., the District of Columbia incl

2d. I am in favor of the adoption of the Wilmot Proviso in all the Territorial organizations.. j, 3d. I am in favor of the prohibition of tho slave trade in tho District of Columbia. I am in favor of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, the citizens of the District expressing a wish to Congress therefor. If Ibis could not be done, I should be. in favor of removing the seat of government to free soil. 4th. 1 am opposed to the admission of &nv more Slave States from any Territory not properly included in the Texas compromise. I do not believe that Congress ought to disturb tho compact entered into with Texas on that subject. 5th. I am in favor of the exemption of the homestead from execution. 6th. I am favor of the State Convention to amend our Constitution.

Yours respectfully, J. E. MCDONALD.

Mr. McDonald was, at the date of this letter, the Democratic candidate for Congress in this Congressional District. The Convention which nominated him was held at Lafayette on the 12th of June 1849.—Fountain Ledger.

Jesse D. Bright.

The National Democrat of Indiannpolis, the State organ of the Douglas Democracy, says that it "hazards nothing in saying that Jesse D. Bright is, to-day, the most unpopular man in Indiana." "Yet unpopular as he is," it adds, "he wields the sceptre of a despot.and sets the will of the masses at defiance. Weak with tho people, he is strong through the tact, management and sleepless vigilance of his mer cenaries. Overwhelming as would be the popular verdict against him through the ballot box, the Democratic party of the State has been but a plaything in his hands, and its edicts but the reflection of his whims and prejudices.'"5

Shocking Tragedy in Pike County, Mo.§

A terrible tragedy, consisting in the murder of a young lady bjr..her fatliei^-janiLihe. subsequent suicide of the murderer was enacted near Bowling Green, Pike county, Mo, last Friday. The parties were a Gorman named Myres,and his daughter. The daughter was an illpgitmate child of Myers, and the two had lived together as parent and child, without any apparent difficulty, the girl discharging the domestic duties of the household.

On Friday morning last, tho hands on the farm went out to work, leaving Myers, and the girl at the house, in their usual good spirits, and giving no indications of the terrible event that followed. On their return, the girl was found dead, on the floor, weltering in a pool of blood, shot through the heart. By her side lay Myers, also dead, with a bullet hole through his head. None of the circumstances that led to the bloody tragedy are known but the fact that the girl, upon examination by the ladies of the neighborood, was found to be enciente, points to another and still more fearful crime as the cause of the affair. The father, it is supposed had dishonored his own offspring, and both had agreed on a bloody death, as a meana of not being living witnesees to the exposure of guilt of the one, and the shame of the other.—[St. Louis Evening News.

itSPThe South Bend Forum says: 'Col May, though a largo man, is brim full of Democracy." We fear the Forum editor is mistaken in the filling. Democracy, never filled a man out as the Colonel is, nor in the part that predominates in him. —Logansport Journal.

As the Col. says he is "out diggin' around the Democracy and dungin' 'em," it is quite reasonable to suppose that ho carries the great "fertilizer" with him! Indianian, Warsaw.

The Man with a Shawl Need not Apply. —We find in the Gospel (Maine) Banner the following advertisement: "I am desirous of securing the services of two male teachers to teach school the coming winter. I take this method therefore of making known the fact. If this notice meet the eye of any man (I mean pbisical as well as mental) who is willing to teach as well as Jceep school, I should be happy to see him. "N. B.—No person who wears a shawl, spectacles, or walks with a cane, need opply, as sufficient instruction from that class has already been had. "H. B. MAYNARD, Agent.
