New England States, in Pennsylvania, the strong-hold* .of- Bock*African Democracy in Ohio Indiana^^a Ipwa the Review is trying to prove.-that there is no euch thing. He qtiotos from Mr. Seward's •peech "that it has accomplished its mission" and of coarse had dissolved: If the annihilation of Old Lineism means Republican dissolution, then Charleymust be correct. But if Republicanism is dead, how does it happen that there are but three Old Line Congressmen elected in Indiana that so small a number is. elected in Pennsylvania, in Ohio that not orio is elected in Iowa, and scarcely a sirtglo one in all .New England. If dead Republicanism is BO far superior to the living, breathing puffing, wheezing, gostrading thing called Old Lino Democracy, how mightily and powerfully will 6he move over the decaying and corrupt Democracy, when in 1860, she awakes to newness of life her loins girt with renewed energy her body shielded with the breast plate of a glorious, national freedom her feet shod with the preparation of a genuine liberty her dag emblazoned with the stars and stripes floating proudly above her her mighty hosts gathering thick as autumnal leaves aud fired with the spirit of our Revolutionary Fathers when under such circumstances, she bestirs herself for the election of a President, Old Line demagogues will call upon the hills and the rocks to fall upon them and cover them. Yerily, the avalanche of Republicanism will sweep them from existence. .,

JSSTThe Editor of the Review professes to be a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school Mid yet, says that when that immortal statesman affirmed in the Declaration of Independence, that "all men are born free and equal, and possessed of certain inalienable: rights, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," he meant "NIGGER

It follows, then, of course,

that our neighbor of the Review is warmly in favor of "Nigger Equality." The only question to be solved in bringing abtfut this equality between our neighbor and the negro, is which of the two would have to be elevated? The general impression is that it would require an archimedean lover to elevate Charley to an equality with a respectable gentleman of color

JC#"Our neighbor of the Review says he lives on "Buchanan 6weet cakes kivered all over with Douglas molasses." Who then can wonder at the delicious morsels that occasionally appear in his editorial columns. What a sweet young man he must be. Is that the reason the Hies have such a fondness for him? ,, J. 7.

Thursday, the 25th of the present month is the day set for the sovereigns of Hoosierdom to offer up prayers aud thanks.— As a general thing, very little attention'is paid to these 'proclamations. It is a cuslom that had-its origin among the longfaced, hypocritical Puritans of New England we are decidedly opposed to our Governor issuing these Puritaiiical Bulls: Let the people of Indiana thank their Creator when it best suits thsm, without any Papal or Puritanical commands!"

For the Journal.

Mn. EDITOR—In the Crawfordsville oRtW^th nlt-.^find a^ltrue spie{ men of Ol^Linc^terajture, under- the jjji posing titld 6f "jS^gers belotti a JRepubli cansCourt.'-1! ki' jg .j .j£t -The fact is announced, as though it was one of the wonders of the 19th century.— I had supposed, that such .facts made^ a part of the Judicial history of our coun^i^FiCSlSrgj^rs^before a Republican Court." What an awful occurrence! Surely it must have been the precursor of some awful event. Perhaps it was portontious of the overwhelming defeat, .of' tha. -Old Line, party, at the late election', in the State of Michigan. Such occurrences are common in tho ,Courts of Indiana, of both parties. "Niggors" are sometimes, and Old Liners often% before the Republican and Democratic Courts. If any man doubts the truth of this allegation, I advise him to examine the records of Judge Bryant's Courts during the past year. The Judge performed a noble Judicial work duing the last year of his official term, by sending a host of Old Lino felons to the State prison.

As ho was a candidate for ne-olection, his Judicial services performed in sentencing so many of his own political friends to the Penitentiary, is worthy of all praise. I hope his successor in office. Judge Cowan, will do his duty, also, iu sending "Niggers," Old Liners, and Republicans, to the State prison whenever they forfeit their liberty by being felons. This being done, "Social equality"—at Jefifeisonville, within the limits of the Penitentiary, irrespective of color, will exist as a^ necessary consequence. ... .• ....

The Review reports this decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan, as proof of tho correctness of Judge Taney's decision in the Died Scott case.

Is theie any analogy between the two cases? I think not. Judge Taney decided that Dred Scott was not, nor could not be a citizen of the U. S., and therefore could not sue in the U. S. Courts. The question of citizenship was the only question presented by the record for the consideration and judgment of the court. All that Judge Taney said in his opinion, about thu Ordinance of 1787, the Missouri Compromise, and the position assumed, that the Constitution of the U. S. carries slavery into.-all the Territories of tho U. S. without any positivo local law, is extra judicial, and consequently, null and void for all legal purposes but may be very potent for political purposes. A commentary on the fust chapter of the Koran, would have been no more absurd, if it,had made a part of this opinion..

The Supreme Court of Michigan decided that a negro has no right to demand a tiebot to travel on a steam-boat, and was not entitled to any damages when the agents of the boat refused to sell him one.

No question of citizenship was before this court, and therefore its opinion proves nothing iu favor of the Drcd Scott decisi°n.

The Judges in Michigan having a correct opinion as to tho duty and dignity of the Courts, gave uo decision on any question dehors the record, as the Supreme Court of the U. S. did in the Dred Scott case. r,„

The Review says an European foreigner could have recovered damages if the agent of the steam-boat had refused to sell him a ticket. This is admitted. Can a foreigner not naturalized sue in the U. S. Courts?

Every Tyro in legal science knows he cannot aud still he has a remedy if an agent of a sceam,-boat should refuse to sell him a ticket. ,,

The Michigan decision, therefore, has no analogy to the Dred Scott case. If the steam-boat agent had refused to sell the negro a ticket, and knocked him down /or his supposod insolcuce, could he have had a remedy in a Michigan Court

iii

for the BsSAult &u(l b&ttcry ,, Judge Taney says negroes have uo rights which white men are bound to respect.— If this be true he would have had no remedy. Will any Indiana lawyer say Judge Taney is right

t|ii

this opinion? IT any

lawyer shall say-so, I shall say, ".he is almost a mohpm'am'a c' over the Dred Scott decisiou."

About eSgfttcen centuries ago, a Roman Tyrant said to the Apd.stle.of the Gentiles, that he was insane, because he spake words of truth and soberness. He was a pirpslavery man—and like modein^ pro-^l&iW^ men, lie thought other meivhadiio rights*,which he was bound to respect. He would bo a most excellent pro-slavery Judge in the 19th century, if now living. With pro-slnvery men the liberty of speech is a one-sided matter. ^Vithgood republicans it has two sides. REPUBLICAN.

A New State Prison.

blast, Beef packing. Wo have not learned State pi oyidipg for the repeal of the clause when Jhex iutend conimence slaughter-' in tho constitution prohibiting tho imporingilogs.' tation of Africans.

The Torre Hauto Journal of Friday evening contains some sensible suggestions in regard to the course to be taken in providing additional necessary room for the State's prisoners, which we copy below. It thinks, and so do we, that a new penitentiary, in some other pait of the State, should be built. And 'some, of our cotomporaries have already suggested Lafayette as a good point. We see no reason to dissent from!the suggestion, if the Lafayette people do not. They are interested more than others. We confess that we should not care to see it established here, and if the citizens of Lafayette have no objection, that place presents a very eligible location for it. It is accessible, is a healthful situation, and abont .the centre of the villainy af the State, if we may judge from the murders and convictions that occur there, and in the vicinity. The Terre Haute Journal, the editor of which* is one of the Directors of the Stato's prisf. on, and well able to

=speak

authoritatively,

says:—Ind. Journal. Vr The State Prison isfilled to overflowing, time being four hundred and twenty-nine male," and nine female convicts therein.— This ris $n increase in two years and a half of one hundred, and fifty-seven, over and above the number that have died, been prrdoned out, and released by expiration of their terrii of service. Cu. t* a?' Our principal object jin- referring to, this matter at this time is tovsbow the necess.i-. ty of building a nbw prison, or greatly en:, larging tho grounds aittl buildiUgs of tfie present one. We think however, that economy and convenience would favor the building of a new prison at sonic point in the northern portion o.f the State, rather than the enlargement of the present.*— Situated as it now is, in the extreme southern part of this State, the tax for conveying convicts to th'e prisbn from ft lafge por?: tio.n of the State is yery heavy indeed.-— This could be materially lessoned by the erection of, a new one in the north. Bestdijaf.^hia which of itself constitutes a itm^ireairoh iii f^vor of a new one, the police .arrangement can be more perfect, and,'better discipline maintained, where the number of couvjc^ does not exceed tho necessary accommodations, of, the prison. *v k' 'That one or the other will have" ,to be provided for by.-thft jtfOmirig Legislature, is, beypndj. a pread^feotflre. The grounds of the. present, .site are'quite contracted and so occapied hy ihe hecessary work shops, cell houses,:aiid otlier buildings, that no more can be'erected theredn. The work shops Arc -now -all o'ccupiiJiil and

is estimated

that at least,-for this reason one hundred convicits will bo unemployed the coming Winter. ". '.

From a careful bxamination the officers of the prison have no' hesitation rin saying that not more than three hundred and fifty convicts can be, profitably employed within the walls of^ the present prison. This being the case, it constitutes ian "uncontrovertible argument in favor of a new one, for could it-be possibly avoided no convict should be permitted to labor outside the P"6011

The Evansville Journal has the follow ing paragraph in reference to the supply of pork in Gibson county

An ihtelMgelit friend/ as w.ell informed as any resident of Gibson county, in regard to its crops* tells us that. Gibson will npt have more than 10,000 hogs to sell this season, in place of the^OOjOOO, which is-- her ordinary- crop.w»Th«'' cholera^ hasdestroyed nearly seven-eights of the stock hogs. A like fatality has prevailed in the opposite regions of Illinois. The loss 6'f hogs, and the partial -failure df the corn crop on the Lower Wabash will so cut off the resources of the farmers as to make it difficult for them to meet their payments. Fortunately, the most of them have but little else than their "store bills" to pay, and oil these the merchants will btficompelled to grant an indulgence, aqd'iu many* instances give renewals for a year. The prospects for collections on tho Lower WaBash, 'are, cpnslsquently more, discouraging this season than for many years past. The!tobacco crop in Warrick, Spencer, Pjka and other counties along the canal, is large and of fine, quality

The Paris (Ky.) Citizen reports the following ealos of stock for Monday of( last week:

There were about 800 head of mules offered. Mr. C. C. Rogers sold eleven head of eXtTa two year olds to" Jame8 Pogue, of Fayefte/ it 8220 per he'Sd. The prices'of the two.tpreceding sale days were well sustained. Mule colts were the readiest sale, as high as $78 and §90 beiug obtained.— Stock cattle sold at fair prices. A number of houses changed hands at from @40@-

21°.

Hog buyers were unwilling to give and we heard, of no contracts being made. The Cincinnati Daily Gazette, of the 9th inst., says: eifi .The week opens with increased buoyancy in the Hogmarkot. The offerings continue mpderate, both as regards present and future delivery, and there was a large excess of buyers to-day at $6—'holders, generally, contending firmly for $6 25, and some advanced their views to SG .50. The demand is chiefly from a class of. operators known as Outsiders, though some of our regular packers took hold to-day at 06. Eastern dealers are still following the trade, somewhat in the distance. The number in pens.- is estimated at 12,000 head. Six houses wore cutting to-day to a moderate exteht. The weather is still unsatisfactory^ Green Hams sold to a large extent at 8p. for present and future delivery. The sales comprised about 18,000 pieces. Green Shoulders brought 4£c.— Lard sold,at 10@10-£ for barrel and keg. There are buyers for Mess P6rk at $15 5u for December, and ©16 for January.

At Louisville, on Saturday last. 6 th inst., hogs were qifoted at-86 The Daily Gaafette further says:

We learn from a late Keokuk paper that M'Crea & Co. have twenty thousand hogs on the way to that city Batty about ten thousand, and Patterson fc Co. as many more, make so far engaged about forty thousand.

Muscatine papers says: Our pork buyers and packerers are now ready to commence operations. They have already engaged upwards of 20,000 hogs. We have reason to believe the number that will be packed at this, place this season will not fall much short of 850.000. Prices now offered rango from §4 to 34 50 100 lbs

The St. Louis Republican, under date of Saturday evening, says: On yesterday, the market was quoted at 5@5^c net 200, in the pens, and three hundred to arrive, were sold, to arrive, at the latter figure.

DOUGLAS IS DEFEATED.

No Senator to be Elected until 1860—The National Democrats' hold the Balance of Pbwer^— Good News for the Democracy of the Nation—Let evory Democrat in the Land Rejoice. --:v.dd

On the eye of going to prcsa wo have,received private dispatches from Cairo, Jonesborongh, Shawnetown and other points in Egypt, assuring us of the election of too, and probably, /Arte National Dem-1 ocrats to the the Lower House, and assuring us also, that threp of tho Democratic Senators holding aver will, beyond, doubt, oppose the re-election of Douglas. Added to this good news, wo have the assurance that several of the Senators and Representatives just elected, and Bupposed to be favorable to Douglas will not support: him, but will maintain the integrity of the Democratic party of the country, by voting for Judge* Breesc, or some other good and reliable Democrat.

This intelligence Pomes to us in such shape, from sources so reliablo, that we cannot doubt it—cannot -doubt that Mr. Douglas will be defeated in his .efforts to secure his re-election to the U. S. Senate.

Tho true friends of the Democratic party in the Legislature, rather than throw a fire-brand in the National Councils of the party, will so vote as to prevent the election of either Douglas or Lineoln, and leave the matter open until 1860, when the Democracy of the State will'be better able to settle the controversy consistently with the welfare of the Democratic party.

We congratulate the Spartan band of National Democrats in Illinois,. and the Democracy of the country generally, upon this Tntelligence.' and assure them they may rely li^on its truthfulness. Douglas is defeated, and the Democratic pariy will be safa from his disorganizing efforts after the next session of Congress, which will finally close his Senatorial career. This is.as it should be. Let every Democrat in the land rejoiced

''The^Sacramento Mercury publishes a communication revealing the existence of a project to make a filibustering expedition to Sonora..

The Utuh correspondent of tho Republican gives an account of outrages commited on the persons of Mrs. Walker and a daughter nine years old by two Utah Indians at Spanish Fork. Governor Cumming.demanded a surrender of tho offenders'tfirough the Indian Agent, Mr. Hunt. The Indians refused to give them'up. A! requisition was then made on General Johnston for a detachment of men, who proceeded to the scene of the outrage, and effected a delivery of the culprits and sent, them to Salt Lake City, where they were' placed in the custody of the Unired States Marshal. One Indian was unintentionally killed, which may lead to further disturbance, in view of which a posso of military was stationed at Spanish Fork for the protection of the inhabitants.

The District Court adjourned till first Monday in November.

FROM WASHINGTON.

I WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Gen. Walker's buisuess here i8 not directly with the Government, it is part to ascertain the proposed British interference in Nicaraguan affairs. He is satisfied that it will be no hindrance to succe&eful emigration to Nicaragua. He denies the truth of the statement that there has been a sale of bonds of the transit route, and hence that part of the President's proclamation must have been founded on incorrect information. He then says that tho passengors leaving Mobile are expected to pay their o\(Vn expenses, and act on their own responsibility. The emigration is under the auspices of the Southern Emigration Company, Which has been in existence nix months, and has branches in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia. There is no clashing of iustere stu between it and the Canal.company.

Gen. Walker will leave for Mobile to morrow, though he is not certain that he will go to Nicaragua with the first party.

The following officers have'been ordered to sail for Aspinwall on the 20th to relieve those of the St. Marys, now at Panama: Commander Thornburn Lieuts. Moore, Wells and Phelps Surgeon Mabon assistant Surgeon Magee, and Purser Ritchie.

It is said that the list of Lieutenants has now been exhausted, every officer of that rank having beeh assigned some duty.

UTAH MAIL.

LEAVENWORTH, Nov. 4th.—Per U.S. Express to Brown ville. The Seventh Utah mail arrived Sunday.

Heavy snow storms are reported. Deer Creek roads are almost impassable. The mail was packed on mules from Big Blue, that stream being too high to ford. The rain storms which prevailed through that section for the past twor^eeks extended eighty-five miles west of Fort Kearney.— The passengers being left behind, there is no summary furnished from Salt Lake City.

Site" Origin of the F. F. Vs. Many of our readers have heard of the "First Families of Virginia,*" but few, we take it, know bow the term originated»rh? An exchange explains it thus:

In early settlement of that state, it was found impossible to colonize it unless women went there. Accordingly, a ship load wag sent ont, bat no planter was allowed to marry one of tbpm unitl he had first paid one hundred.pounds of tobacco for,her passage. When the second Bhip load came, no ttrie'WOulil pay more than seventy-five pounds for the matrimonial privilege, except it were a very superior article. Consequently, the descendants of all those who were sold for one hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked as the first families, while those who brought but seventy five pounds are now ranked as the second' families and the reason Why no ^one can ever find any of the second families, is because you can't get a Virginian to admit that his mother only brought seventy-five pounds of tobacco.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Fever, like every other form of disease to which the human system is liable, is «^iused by impure humors. This being caused by the more I rapid action of the blood strtipclin with nature. IV r» 1 in endeavoring to cast out of "the body the cor-!

rupt matter which is deadly opposed to health. -I t'

cach other, and the commotion which follows J0.? °l

causes fever and heat. The svmptoms of fever 'Vare various causing heavincs^. languid, difficult! ,.A

breathing, eyes dull and heavy, anxiety, sighing

and yawnirg, alternate fits of heat and cold. Aftcr which the patient complains of pain3 in the head and back, great thirst, nausa and sickness, a fulness about the stomach, and sometimes vomiting bilious matter. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are acknowledged to be a strengthening and delightful medicine for all kinds of fevers. They not only eleanse the stomach and bowels from all billions matter, but they- open the excretory* vessels, causing them to pour coupious effusions from the blood into the bowels, after which the corrupted mass is thrown out by the uatural passage of the body. All that is requited, in urgent cases of fever, will be to take large doses. In order to have them operate thoroughly by the bowels, take from three to five, night and morning, until the fever entirely disappears. After which, from two to four every evening, until well, and you will be convinced that this is the best way to check fever,, because they drive out all inflamation, and restore the body to a state of sound health. And the blood and other fluids will be so thoroughly purified that disease in any form will be utterly impossible.
