REPUBLICAN TICKET!

FON CI.ERK,

SAMUEL W. AUSTIN. FOR AUDITOR, DAVID T. RIDGE. FOR CODNTY COMMISSIONER, MADISON B. ANDERSON.

The Convention-—Our Ticket. As far as wo can learn, and have heard any expression, the ticket put in nomination by the Republican Convention on Saturday last, gives very general satisfaction, and is entirely acquiesced in. Each ami every man, it is truo, on the meeting of the Convention had his preference among the aspirants, as is always the case, and had a perfect right, as they did, to work faithfully and zealously for the nomination of their particular friends. All did not get their first choice, nor was it expected but near enough so, we are confident, to induce every Republican voter of the county to do his duty at the coming election. A good and harmonious feeling existed, however, and on first ballot nominations were made for Cleik and Auditor and on second ballot, for County Commissioner, viz:

SAMCKL W. AUSTIN, for Clerk DAVID T. RIDGE, for Auditor M. B. A NDERSOX, for Commissioner. This ticket, we believe to be as unexceptionable, to the great mass of the voters of our county, as was ever put iuto the political field, asking your suffrages. They are deserving, honorable men and when election day comes, you can go to the polls and cast your votes, knowing them not only to be honorable, upright citizens, but to bo in every respect qualified and that if elected, as we are confident they will be, the duties of their several officos will be faithfully and correctly discharged.

jf^"Thelast issue of the Daily Revieio— Saturday—in speaking of tho convention and its nominees, makes a desperate fling at our candidate for Auditor, David T. Ridge. He says that Ridge's "connection with the Know-Nothing Lodge in 1854, is still fresh in the minds of the Old-Lin-ers." Of Mr. Ridge's connection with that order, wo know nothing, and care less and do not suppose for a moment that any sensible man in the county will ever make an inquiry in reference to it, whether he was, or was not. No, no, buf this is not what the wiseacre of the Review is trying to accomplish he wishes to spring this subject of Know-Nothingism for the sole purpose if possible of crippling two of the most prominent Old-Line candidates, who will be before the Convention on Saturday next, for nomination for this same (Auditor's) office. We never wish to le persoual, and would be glad were it practicable now, to withhold names but as the cat's-paw of the Review has made this uncalled for, and ungrounded stab (as he thinks) at Mr. Ridge, we cannot desist and will just inform him that we understand, and will post the public accordingly, viz: That both John Wasson and Henry Nicholson, were prominent members of this "dark lantern" order of KnowNothings, in the year 1854, and we do not suppose they ever have, or ever will disown their connection therewith. And why should they? Thousands doubtless, of the best men of our country belonged to that order. This move on the part of our neighbor, is altogether selfish. It is being agitated for the purpose of defeating these men in Convention and to make way for "our" brother-in-law, Morgan

Snook. You can't conceal the trick, Solcmen. Any member of the old-line party, with half an eye, and particularly those you wish to thrust aside, can see through tho whole move at a single glance.

Twelfth Volume.

To-day we issue the first number of the twelfth volume of the "Journal." This, we look upon, as a most capital time for our patrons to call and settle up arreai nges at the commencement of a new volume. We have also written to Cincinnati, ordering new type for the news columns of our paper, and it will be necessary for us to raise a small sum of money within a few days to defray such expense. Wo will be pleased to have a call from such of our pationsas can conveniently "lend us aid and comfort," sometime during the coming two weeks.

Ocn FAIR.—The County' Fair passed off on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. The weather was very favorable for euch exhibitions and on the second and thiid days, the grounds were "chock" full, aye, running over. All in all, we think this the Fair of old Montgomery particularly so, in point of dollars and cents.

MILITARY FESTIVAL.

The ladies of this place, we learn, will give ft Grand Military Supper at McClelland's Hall, on to-morrow (Friday) evening, for the benefit of the "Montgomery Guards," THE military of the State. Admission—Gentleman & Lady, 50 cts. sinpie pentleman, 30 cts.

OBITUARY.

We sorely regret the task before us this gloomy morning—that of announcing the sudden, unexpected and rather untimely death in this place, on Saturday last, at or about the hour of 4 o'clock, P. M., of our young and promising friend "DAILY," infant son of our old and highly esteemed friend "Peruvian-Lion aged, just eleven days. His illness though short was excruciatingly painful, and is thought to be attributable in a great moasure to a premature exertion of the mental faculties, in conjunction with, what is termed summer complaint, or cholera-t»/hr7i/«m.

The first few days after the birth of this wonderful and mysterious visitant, a deep feeling of excitement was manifest amongst the relatives and friends, for his welfare and safety. He however, moved calmly and breathed free and gently, much as other children do in their tender days showing no signs, and producing no sounds unnatural or uncommon with the young, on or about the time of their waxing strong. His paternity was "around about," ever and anon gazing with anxious eyes as though in the most joyous mood showing that his enjoyment was near akin to those experienced by the father upon the return of his prodigal son, when the fatted calf was ordered to be slain. He felt too, that his son should have fdioes put upon his tiny feet, and that the glad news should be heralded abroad that a son was born that he was to be christened and that his name should bo called Daily Review. And it was done!

Not until the passing away of about the third day did ho show-forth any extraordinary powers of mind, when a restlessness ensued and that too at a time when Solomon, tho young child's father had drew near. He then spake, but as no child had spoken, requesting to be baptized into the old-line church tbe church of his fathers. From this good hour to the moment of his earthly dissolution, ivas he found firmly and zealously in the advocacy of the principles of the sham-democracy, and in denunciation of the opposition, regardless of the succor received from the hands of the Black Republicans, whom his paternity had promised should be left unscathed and unrebuked by the young child, if they would but aid in rearing him to manhood. That he would teach him to re.«pect the rights of his neighbors that Ac should be politically neutral, and that the exhortations he should give forth would be neither for nor sgainst political organizations, but for the prosperity and perpetuity of this, our earthly zion. He was endowed however with an ungovernable nature and love for misrepresentation and calumny.— A hereditary sin, consequently in a measure uncontrollable and should bo lain at tho parental door, and there atoned for.— However, now that he has passed from amongst us, let his omissions and commissions, alike, with his decaying curcass, be buried and his sins, be they many or few, r.emembered against him no more, foreveij "When the visitant comes again, he will be no more a stranger." Peace be to his ashes.

PERSONAL.—Mr. Krug, of Pleasant Hill, we notice is in town this morning. We understand that his business is to look after the interest of the Republican party in this county. Aside from the Hon. James Wilson, Mr. K. is the best representative of modern Republicanism wo know of.— He is a living type of its principles and consistency, and the very mau to engineer that party in the absence or indisposition of the M. C.—Review. —We would in return just ask his honor of the Review, who it was that was looking after the interest of the old-line party while he was playing bruiser on the Fair Grounds last week? Bowen is the last man in the world that should ever make an insinuation in reference to intemperance.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Republican Convention met in the Court House, pursuant to notice, at 1 o'clock. On motion of Hon. James Wilson, J. H.Harrison, was appointed President, aud Joseph A. Gilkcy, Secretary. After the President had called the house to order the Convention proceeded to busi ness. On motion of R. W. Harrison, the follow ing committee on apportionment was appointed:

Union Township, Stephen Graves. Brown Caleb Conner. Scott William Kennedy. Clark John Harnett. Walnut George Doraey. Franklin A. Hoover. Sugar Creek John Bowers.1 Madison Dr. Johnson. Coal Creek W. Krug. Wayne Charles Bailey. ipley Thomas Ell more. On motion of Hon. James Wilson, the following committee was appointed to draft resolutions: Alexander Thomson, Dr. T. W. Fry, Abijah O'Neall, Richard Epperson, and Hon. H. S. Lane.

The Committee then retired, and while they were in session, Hon. James Wilson was loudly called to address the Convention. Mr. Wilson arose and delivered one of those soul-inspiring speeches for which he has gained a world-wide reputation. The large and enthusiastic assembly of Republicans listened earnestly to his glowing remarks, and seemed to be resolving ia their own minds with a firm and steady purpose to never give up the glorious Republican standard, while a remnant of the Sham-Democracy remains to disgrace the annals of our country's history.

The Committee reported the following resolutions: WHEREAS, it is right and proper that all political organizations should declare fully and frankly their political principles, so that the electors may vote understanding^ iu reference to all the candidates who may be presented for their suffrages, Thereforo, be it

Resolved, That we are in favor of an honest and economical Administration of the General and State Government, and that we are opposed to tbe wasteful, ruinous, unparallelled and disgraceful extravagance of the Administrations of James Buchanan and A. P. Willard.

Resolved, That in the opinion of this Convention the Constitution of the United States dops not legalize or sanction Slavery in the Territories of the United States in the absence of local law, and that tbe relation of Master and Slave cannot exist in the said Territories unless provided for by the municipal laws of such Territory.

Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to the extension of Slavery into the territory of the Republic, and will oppose such extension by all legal, constitutional and practical means in our power.

Resolved, That we do utterly repudiate and cordially abhor the re-opening of the Slave trade, as the same is now advocated by very many of the leading Democratic papers and politicians, and that we should regard any attempt iu thejCongress of the United States to re-open such trade as aliko unwise, unchristian and disgraceful, and at war with the enlightened Christian sentiment of the whole civilized world.

Resolved, That we are opposed to the enactment of a Slave code by Congress for the Territories, believing that the overnment of the United States was established to secure the blessings of Freedom, and not to promulgate the curses of Slavery.

Resolved, That we are opposed to the acquisition of foreign Territory by fraud or force, and for the purpose of extending the area of Slavery.

Resolved, That we will most cordially support tho nominees of this Convention. Resolved, That the Administration of James Buchanan in raising the annual expenses of tho General Government to the unparalleled sum of one hundred millions, and in proposing an additional outlay of thirty millions to corrupt public sentiment on important questions of foreign policy, should receive the condemnation of every political economist and every patriot in our land.

On motion, the Convention proceeded to ballot, which resulted as follows: FOR CLERK.

Sam'l W. Austin, 48 votes. F. H. Fry, 13 FOR AUDITOR. David T. Ridge, 36 votes. Thomas M. Powell, 26 On the second ballot for County Commissioner, M. B. Anderson received 33 votes. $

On motion, Samuel W. Austin, David T. Ridge, and M. B. Anderson, were by acclamation declarod the candidates of the Republican party.

On motion, the proeeedi ngs of the Convention were ordered to be published in the Crawfordsville Journal.

On motion, the Convention then adjourned. JAMES H. HARRISON, President. JOSEPH A. GILKEY, Sec'Y.

State Central Committee Meeting. The Republican State Central Committee met at Indianapolis yesterday afternoon. The proceedings were reported by telegraph for this paper, but failed to reach us in time for our afternoon edition.

The committee decided that in view of the limited time afforded for the canvass, it would be inexpedient to nominate a candidate for Secretary of State. It was also detirmined to pastpone the fixing of the time for the Republican State Convention until, another meeting, to be held in Jannary., The committee by resolution requested the National Republican Convention to designate Indianapolis as the place for holding the National Convention" in 1860.—Laf. Cour., 21st.

ID" A burlesque target company, denominated the "Umbrella Guards," made its appearance in the streets of New York last week. Each man of this newly "mobilized" force was armed with an umbrella, and bore no other implement of war, unless he may have concealed about his person a "pocket pistol." At the word of command, "prepare to spread—spread," the umbrellas were opened or closed with the precision and promptitude of a craek military company to the order of "shoulder arms." Following this unique company were the scenery, property and commissiarat generally of the force, in a largo wagon covered with champagne baskets, and drawn by six horse3. The "Umbrella Guard" are bound to do great execution in the tented field.

For the Journal.

MR. EDITOR:—I find in the Daily Review, of tho 15th inst., by whom we know not, a piovs exhortation to young men to join the Democratic party. To induce young men to do so, the author professes to give a brief history of tho political parties in the United States, alleging that all the good measures of the U.. S. government, have been adopted by the self-styled Democratic party. If this assumption be true, the author's conclusion is true. If it be false, his conclusion must be false.

I now proceed to prove, that he has, either ignoruntly or knowingly, contradicted the political history of his country. Ho says Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Vanburen, James K. Polk, Frank Pierce and James Buchanan were elected Presidents of the U. S. by the Democratic party. Now, the histortcal fact is, that there never was a Democratic Party in the U. S., until thirty-six years after Mr. Jefferson was elected, in the year 1800 This election was a Republican triumph. The sage of Monticello, in his inaugural address, on the 4th of March, 1801, defined his political position, in these words: "We are all Federalists. We are all Republicans."

Mr. Jefferson was a philosopher, a grammarian, and a man of truth, and always used words in their proper sense. He never said one thing, meaning another. He uever said he was a Democrat. The Republican Party triumphed in 1800, beating John Adams and all the Presidents of the U. S. from that time down to the election of James Buchanan, were Republicans.— Such is the true political history of the U. S. John Adams and James Buchanan were the only Federalists who have been elected to the office of Pre.-ideni'of the United States.

If the Republican Party shal^rove their faith by their works, they will beat James Buchanan in 1860, as they did John Adams in 1800.

James Buchanan, according to his own words, lost his personal identity, and became the Cincinnati Platform, when he accepted the nomination for the presidency. This may be true for electioneering purposes but he never can lose his political identity as an old Federalist. No party whitewashing can hide his old character, and his black deformity.

The self-styled Democratic Party never assumed this name until 1836, when Martin Vanburen was nominated as a candidate for the Presidency.

As the name, Vanburen, had never been associated with any great or glorious deeds, they were not willing to call themselves Vanburen men and therefore, they assumed the name Democratic Party, a

ical necessity and from that time to this, they have waged an unceasing political war against the Republ^n party and their leaders—Harrison, Clay, Taylor and Scott. The author of this Review exhortation will please repost his books. He has charged the wrong party, and given credit to the wrong party. Young men of Indiana, think, reflect, and consider well, before you join such a party. REPUBLICAN.

Seven Reasons for Voting in Favor of a Constitutional Convention. 1st. Because it is the only method, now within our reach, that can,secure that prompt and effectual remedy of existing evils, which the public interests, both educational, judicial and legislative, imperiously-demand for this mode of revision, if adopted, will relieve the legislation of 1861, from Constitutional impediments in the way of perfecting our sahool system, more effectually guarding the elective franchise, returning to annual sessions of tho Legislature, and the restoration of the good old time-tested democratic doctrine of short periods of Legislative and Executive power. {t 2d. Because, if this mode of amendment is not adopted, the present constitutional restrictions on the aforesaid points cannot be removed from the path of ordinary legislation till 1865, a period altogether too remote for our best and highest welfare. 3d. Because we believe that a vote adverse to a Convention will inevitably be construed into opposition and claimed' as evidence of hostility to any revision, and therefore must result in the postponement of any humediate action, even in the constitutional metlfod of amendment. 4th. Because we entertain an abiding confidence in the ability and:disposition of the people to elect and, in the course of the canvass, to instruct their delegates to said Convention, both' on the points to be amended and'the submission of their work in such a manner that a discriminating approval or rejection can be made, and thus we secure what we approve and reject what we disapprove. 5th. Because we believe that the proposed mode of revision will secure more satisfactory as well a3 speedier results in the premises, and at a much less pecuniary expense, ultimately, than the constitutional method must, now, necessarily involve, under existing circumstances of suffering delay, remote and uncertain action. 6th. Because there i3 no reasonable probability that our interests as a Commonwealth can or will be periled and our progress more effectually trammeled by any action of such convention than is now experienced, and that the chances in favor of happy results decidedly preponderate over any rational apprehension of an adverse issue. 7th. Because the last Legislature, in full view, on the one hand, of its constitutional obligation to submit specific amendments for the action of the people, whenever they had reason to believe that instrument required revision, and, on the other, after mature deliberation and careful consideration of the nature, extent, delicacy and difficulty of the task' and tiie brevity of the time they could devote to the work of amendment, deliberately and by a strict fusion vote, thus merging all party considerations, adopted the conventional mode of revision, as, in their judgment, the one altogether preferable a^d best adapted to accomplish the work.

Though the above may not be equivoleut to seven men rendering a reason for their actions in tbe premises, yet for the aforesaid seven rea-sons-we expect to give an affirmative response

to

the question, ""Are you iu favor of a1 Convention to amend the Constitution?" A O E

FROM NEW YORK. NEW YOTIK, Sept. 20.

The Herald's Washington correspondent savs, "I am authorized to say that the sending of Gen. Scott to the Pacific Coast* is simply to prevent complications of the San Juan affair it implies no censure upon Gen. Harney. The Administration does not apprehend any serious difficulty, and hopes the British Government will be brought to sec our undoubted right to the Island."

The Mexican minister returned to W ashington from New York, where he had been to confer with Mr. McLane and Senor Ledro upon the matter of the treaty with Mexico.

Senor Mata has received no intelligence from his Government later than that bro't by Mr. McLane, and his advices with reference to the treaty are the same as those in possession of our Government they give him no authority to 6ettle questions in dispute. He hopes the two Governments may, by each giving away a little on desperate questions of protecting our routes, agree upon a treaty.

The Mexican Government is willing to concede the privilege to the United States of protecting by its force the Tehuantepec and a route from the Rio Grande to the Pacific, but only when Mexico cannot give protection. The Administration regards this as no privilege, not worth the paper to write it on, much less the two or four millions asked from this 'country. The Administration will make no treaty in this matter unless our Government, and not Mexico, be allowed to determine when protection may be necessary, and where force is to be used. Here is the difficulty, Mexico must yield or no treaty will be made.

The correspondence of the New York Times from Rio Janeiro, August 9th, says: Since my last of the 9th of July, the U. S. ship Levant, Commander Hunt, arrived after a passage of 36 days from Boston, and sailed again seven days after her arrival all well.

The sloop of war John Adams, Commander Mason, a brother of Senator Mason, of Va., put in here on the 31st of July, leal^ig and very much strained, owing to bad weather experienced on the voynge.

The John Adams was on her voyage to the East Indies, but the result of a survey held at sea, declaring the vessel to be in an unfit state to proceed to her destination, induced the commander to bear away for this port. Since his arrival here, in tbe absence of any other of our government vessels, an additional survey of some eight or ten of onr merchant captains has been held, and they fully ..coincide with that made by the ship officers at sea.

Lieut. D. M. Cohen, of the U. S. Marines, has been ordered to proceed by this packet as bearer of dispatches to the Secretary of the Navy, and I understand it is the intention of Commander Mason to await his return before taking further steps.

The boat from Boston to-morrow takes no specie from here. The amount to be taken by both boats on Saturday will reach $2,000,000. ~~~~~

OVERLAND MAIL.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20.—The Overland Mail, which has arrived, brings the following advices:

Twenty five thousand California 7 per cent bonds were redeemed by the State at 83 1/4.

The overland mail immigration continued to pour in. Much suffering is reported on the plains among broken down Pike's Peakers.

A large number of immigrants were suffering at Alkers river. Other gold diggings have been discovered east of the Sierra Navada.

The town of Murpheys was nearly destroyed by fire on the 21st. Loss $100,000.

HONOLULU, July 30th.—The American bark Lancaster, of Philadelphia, en route from San Francisco to Australia, with a cargo of rice valued at $32,000, foundered off Malakai, July 10th. The vessel and cargo is a total loss, but fully insured.— No lives lost.

The American whaler Twilight, from New Bedford, was wrecked on Margnisas Island, June 10th. Loss $45,060. The crew were saved.

New discoveries of guano were made at Independence Island. Victoria papers of tho 22d say that five companies of infantry, four companies of artillery, and a battery of eight thirty-two pounders from the United States steamer Massachusetts, were on tbe Island of San Juan.

The House assembled on the 12ih and adopted an address to Gov. Douglass, urgently requesting him to enforce upon the English Government tbe necessity of demanding from the Government of the U. States not only the immediate withdrawal of all troops, but«tronaoasly, and- at allrisks, maintain her right to the island also, all other islands now clandestinely, dishonorably and dishonestly invaded.— A motion was also adopted urging the Governor to form volunteer military companies.

All was quiet at the latest dates. The shipments of gold from Victoria for the previous fortnight were $144,000.

STORM AT SEA.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—A gentleman who came as a passenger on the Mail Steamer Persia, describes the storm in in which the Persia was disabled as most terrific. Her crank pin was broken on Monday evening about ten o'clock. She lay to till the next afternoon in hopes that the storm would abate so that she could repair, but finding no inprovement in tbe weather it was decided to put back to Cork. After proceeding in that direction a hundred miles the weather moderated and the breakage was repaired, and the steamer put about again. When reaching the same latitude in which the disaster occurred, the Persia encountered a storm more terrific than the first one, but 6he plowed her way through uninjured, except in cutting off one of her wheel-houses. The Persia has the heaviest freight she ever brought to this port.

SANTA FE MAIL.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20.—Tbe Santa Fe mail, of the 5th, reached Inependence to day.

A great amount of rain had failed on the plains. The Congressional election took place the day the mail left. A correspondent says there was no doubt of Otero's election.

NEWS FROM ITALY.

By the steamer Borussia's mails we have some important news from Italy. Correspondence of the London Times.

PARIS, Thursday, Sept. 1.

Private accounts from Italy received today describe the state of that country as not very promising as to the future. On the contrary, affairs seem to be growing more complicated every day. Important results depend on the issue of the combat expected soon to take place between the Pontifical troops, who are on the point of entering the Legations, and the forces of the Provisional Government. If the Papal troops succeed, it is thought that the Duke of Modena will re-enter his States at the head of his army—colors flying and drums beating. If, on the other hand, his Holiness' troops are repulsed, a rising in Naples is regarded as not at all improbable.

A private letter from Milan, from an officer on service in that city, states that there are some apprehensions of bad blood growing up between the army of occupation and the Italian people. It further says that the Piedmontese are regarded with little favor by the Lombards and it is feared that, before long, they who have so much cherished their liberators, may regard them as supporters of the Piedmontese, and dislike them equally. The young Grand Duke of Tuscany and M. Pallavicivi, not finding all the support they expected Irom the French Government, qr.it Paris. Indeed, I learn that his Highness has actually left for Switzerland. An interview between the Kiug of the Belgians and the Emperor Napoleon is about to be arranged, and a Belgian agent is 6aid to have left for that purpose for St. Sauveur.— Prince Metternich has also left for the St. Sauveur, and Prince Napoleon, still dissatisfied, is going somewhere—people 6ay to England.

Another letter to the London Express says that the breaking up of the Zurich Conference is expected.

In regard to the affairs of Naples, it says: A letter in a Genoese journal gives the cheering announcement that the Neapolitan Government is preparing a Constitution based upon ail elective system and a National Assembly. Triennial Parliaments, to sit every year, but only for fifteen days responsible Ministers, and the power of dissolution of the Parliament by the King, with the consent of the Ministers, are among the features particularized.

STEAMBOAT BURNED. NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—A fire occurred on board the steamboat John Faron, near Green Point, about 4 o'clock this morning, which resulted in the destruction of tho boat. The loss is estimated at $20,000.

The John Faron belonged to the late firm of John Thursby & Son, corner of Front street and Peck Slip, which has recently made an assignment.

She was lying in tbe Newtown Creek, below Pivot bridge. Wm. Boyle, emploped to take care of her, was on board with his family. He slept amidships, and states that about 4 o'clock this morning he was awakened by one of his sons, and found himself all but suffocated with tbe smoke.

He had sufficient consciousness to wake and rescue his wife, which he did with considerable difficulty. He gave the alarm, but nothing was saved except the life boat and two small boats.

The steamer was virtually destroyed, and at 11 o'clock this morning she had 4 feet water and was taking in rapidly.— The origin of the fire is not known. There has been no fire in the engine room for 6 weeks, and it was deemed entirely safe.— The vessel was insured for $30,000.

GOV. BANKS RE-NOMINATED. FITCHEURG, Mass., Sept. 20.—The Republican State Convention met to-day, and nominated N. P. Banks for Governor without opposition:

Mr. Banks received 627 out of 712 votes on the first ballot, and the vote was made unanimous. All the other incumbents were renominated, viz.: for Lieut. Governor, Eliphalst Trick Secretary of State, Oliver Warren Treasurer, Moses Tenny Attorney General, Stephen H. Phillips Auditor, Chas White.

10,000 Republican Majority in Maine. PORTLAND, Me., Sep. 14.—Returns from 80 additional towns indicate that Gov. Morrill's majority will reach over 10,000. The Republicans have elected 30 out of 31 Senators, and nearly three-fourths of the Representatives. Official information is received here that the Great Eastern leaves Holyhead for Portland on the 15th inst.

ANECDOTE OF MR. CHOATE.—The following ie a epocimcu of tho»©-~ brilHanfc utterances for which our great, lamented advocate, was so remarkable. Attending the Italian Opera Qne evening with a lady, he leaned toward her with the extremest gravity, and said: "Interpret the libretto for me, my dear, lest I dilate with the wrong emotion."

Can anything exceed the arch humor of this?—Boston Transcript.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.—A man named Shaw was killed in Natchez, Miss., on the 10th inst., by his wife'. A coroner's inquest was held over the body, and their verdict was to the effect* that Mr. Shaw came to his death by wounds infiictedqto tho hands of his wife. They were unable to decide as to the weapon used by by her. She alleges that the deed was done by a broomstick applied below the back of the neck. Her story, however, is not credited. It is generally supposed the murder was commited with a smoothing iron,as one was found on the premises covered with blood.

ILLEGAL VOTING IN OLD TIMES.—The following is an extract from the laws of Massachusetts for 1643, showing how voting was managed in the olden time:

It is ordered, by this court and the authority thereof, that for the yearly choosing of assistants, the freemen shall use Indian corn a&d beans, the Indian corn to manifest election, the beans the contrary and if any freeman shall put in more than one Indian corn or bean, for the choice or refusal of any public officer, he 6hall forfeit for every such offence ten pounds.

jCS^Why does a sailor know there js a man in the moon? Because he has been to gee.

MIXED.—The Allen county Democratic Convention endorses the administration of Mr. Buchanan as "eminently wis®/ patriotic and just," and then denounces" Gev. Willard's as "anti-Democratic un-" just and ungrateful." The President will resent this for his motto is, "If you love me you must love my dogs aho."-Amer-ican.

THE CHEAT EASTERN —The New York Tima* learns by private advices from London, that Mr. J. Scott Russell, the builder of the Great Eastern is to come out in her on the first srip to America.. Great number of tickets have been sold, and for her trial trip to Cherbourg, which was to take place on the 8th, an immense number of places had been taken. If that proves entirely successful, she will come to this country with an enormous number of passengers. She comes to Portland first, in consequence of an old contract with the Grand Trunk Railway Company to that effect but she will very likely go from Portland to New York, or rather to Port Morris, near the Harlem Bridge, forthe purpose of enabling New Yorkers to pay her a visit.

DR. C. W. ROBACK.—Dear Sir: Having been troubled for several years with extreme debility and weakness, so much so that I was unable to attend to my ordinary busines at times, and having heard of the wonderful cures that your Scandi^ r.avian Blood Purifier and Pills wero effecting, I was induced by a friend to try them. I have been using the Purifier for the last twelve months, an find the medicine fully equal to its recommendations.— So valuable is its use to me, that I can not now dispense with the use of it at my advanced age of life—seventy-seven years.

I cheerfully give this information forthe benefit of those similary affected.,,,. Yours, truly.
