Grand Exhibition of Zouave Tactics!
Old Line Convention!
WIRE-WORKERS TRIUMPHANT!
"Vote Earlyl Vole FrequentlyW Vote LateV.l"
Hie OKI Line Convention held at the Court House last Saturday, was in all refpects worthy of the "clique" under whose direction the whole thing was planned and oarriod out. It was organized by appointing Col. Wilson to the Chair, and John Lee, Secretary. After the organization, a committee was appointed to draft resolu* tions expressive of the awful condition and melancholy feeling of the great democratic party. We noticed considerable wincing when the name of R. W. McMaken was mentioned as a member of this committee. This however was swallowed and the convention proceeded to the nomination of candidates. The selection of candidates for the offices of Clerk and Commission waa accomplished without difficulty, but when the balloting for Auditor came up, with it came the tug of war.— The heretofore universally harmonious democracy appeared to be decidedly out of tune. A few of the democrats were for Nicholson—the democrats were for Wasson, but the harmonious clique were for "our" brother-in-law, MORGAN SNOOK, Esq., who by the way, must be an excellent man for Auditor, by the same course of reasoning that the man used, when he concluded that his dog must bo a good coon dog.
On the first charge of the "Zouaves" it was found that Wasson stood highest on the "list, Nicholson next, and "our" broth-er-in-law dimly in the distance.
Qhis arrangement of matters came far short of suiting the desires of the "clique," and the discovery was instantly made that a grant many of the "Zouaves" had been absent fiom the township convention at the time that Wasson leceived its vote, and that in justico to Snook, the election should be had over again. At this proposition, a general exhibition of scientific 6parring commenced between the leaders and the led, which as usual, resulted in the harmonious triumph of the former. The manner of voting was then discussed with a degree of freedom and warmth, highly suggestive of the harmony which always characterizes the operations of th-3 "Zouaves," and resulted in an agreement to "pile" out cacli man's friends into a separate pile, and take an accurate inventory cf noses. Upon a trial of this plan it was found at a glance that Wesson's noses would hold out the best, and it was urged upon Nicholson to transfer his lot of nasal organs to Snook, which was accordingly done, as far as possible. But it was found that the nose enumerating arrangement would prove fatal to the interests of "our" brother-in-law, when an expedient was hit upon, to inevitably throw the scale in his favor. A new system of "Zouave" tactics was adopted, by which zeal would compensate the want of numbers.
It was agreed that the Union township brigada of "Zouaves" should be collected in the rear of the Court House, and that they should pass through the dark valley and shadow, between it and the Clerk's Office, and in passing should "sing out" their preference, which should be carefully noted down by the "keepers of the pass." This looked fair enongh to the unsupecting friends of Wasson, who supposing the thing would be done on the 6quare, went in to win. But the friends of "our" brother-in-law, understanding the ropes and putting their faith in their muscle started "round the track." One man was noticed to vote for Snook, streak it thro' the Clerk's Office, fall into line and thea vote for Snook then rush wildly around the Conrt House, fall in again, and again give his undivided support for Snook.—
By this kind of untiring exertion—this patriotic draft on the muscular systenl of the faithful and harmonious "Zouaves," the ballot of Union township was secured to .Snook, which secured him the nomination, showing the superiority of sciencc Bnd a thorough knowledge of the "Zouave" drill over the old fashioned, honest way of overcoming by the power of numbers. We understand that by this new method, one hundred men are cspable, with but trifling exertion, to cast a hundred and ninety votes, in an incredibly 6hort apace of time.
Wasson having received the votes of Clark, Wayne, and- Brown townships, a thorough knowledge of the science of the "Zouave" drill was only necessary to have jyiven him Union and the- nomination.— Puringthe last exhibition of tho drill,
cursing, swearing, yelling, threats of dire thrashings and other warlike and chivilric accomplishments, were displayed with bounteous liberality, but we believe no man's "claret was tapped nor his person injured." ,e ,.
Taken as a whole, the '"Zouavo" convention of last Saturday, was as ridiculous a farce.as ever was enacted in any civilized community, and this hour, Snook is no more the candidate of that party, according to fair Democratic usage, than Nicholson, much less Wasson. Snook's friends swindled Wasson out of the nomination, and it but remnins for the election to take place to show that thepeople will will rebuke him. There is one Ridge he can't climb, even with the aid of the "Zouave" drill.
Constitutional Convention. As election day is near at hand, and as it is quite necessary that all should understand their duty in reference to a convention to amend our State Constitution, we subjoin the following article on this subject, from the South Bend Register "Let every voter remember, that an important question will be propounded to him when he hands in his ballot on the second Tuesday of October.. That question will be, "Are you in Javor of a Conventionto amend the Constitution?" This question should bo met with a prompt and well-considered "Yes" or "No." Everv voter should give this subject his most earnest attention, inform himself of the practical workings of the present Constitution, probe into its defects, decide whether in his judgment it can be changed for the better, and then when he comes to the polls, having his mind firmly made up, he will be able to answer this important Question understanding^ and without hesitation.— But if on the contrary, he gives no thought to the subject beforehand, the question asked him as he hands in his ballot will take him by surprise he will be confused he will hesitate and at last, if he gives an answer at all, he may give a contrary one to what he^vould have given if he had previously considered the subject.
We trust there will be'no silent votes on. this question. A silent vote—that is, a refusal to answer affirmatively or negatively—will be pquivolent to a vote against amending the Constitution. Every one should record himself plainly for or against the proposition, and not by his silence, leave his views to be inferred. In this country of ours, where the people are "sove
reigns/' where thoy a re their own lawffisters, we hold it to be the duty of every one legally qualified, to vote at all elections, to vote for all officers to be elected, and to vote on all questions submitted to the people for their decision. And to do this understanding^, and for the public good, it is indispensably necessary that each voter should, by patient study and careful reflection, firmly make his choice prior to the day of election for whom to vote, and how to vote on questions submitted for his decision. Every voter is, to a certain extent, responsible for the laws enacted and for the manner in which they are executed and this responsibility he cannot avoid, nor should he seek to do so.
The act authorizing the vote of the people to be taken on the question of calling a Convention to amend the Constitution, was adopted without regard to party, both Democrats and Republicans advocating and voting for it. And in a like manner should the people refuse to make it a party question, but each one vote upon it according to the dictates of his own judgment, unbiased by the fact of how this or that party leader may desire the vote to be cast."
QUERY.—The old-line clique of this place are in desperate trouble, just now. Wonder what they were doing at McClelland's Hall on Monday night last? Was it for the purpose of soft-soaping the wounded of Saturday last? Ah, the rascals, they are full of it. Knock a man down, and then tell him "Never mind, it was all in fun— it will be youi time next—all h—11 can't keep you out next time."
jtSTChailey Bowen denies that John Wasson and Henry Nicholson were ever members of a know-nothing lodge. Just like him—the best man in the world to deny anything that don't suit him. We have no doubt but that he will yet deny that Snook once belonged to that order. Let him try that!
DON'T BELIEVE IT.—We received a very lengthy article (printed) a few days since, from Elgin, Illinois, for insertion in our columns, under the caption of "Good Books at half price," purporting to come from the Lord, which we most respectfully decline publishing, for the following reasons, viz 1st. Bccause we do not believe that the Lord has located in Illinois. 2d. That if he Was located there, he would be too much of a gentleman to ask, or request a printer to publish a long, stale book advertssement gratis. 3d. That the Book of books teaches us that the Lord is all merciful to the poor and humble. 4th.— That in the latter days those shall come amongst us, who will if possible deceive the very elect. 5th. Because we believe this Mr. Lord an impostor in every sense of the word, and if he was not, would never have made the request of us he did.— "Get ye behind me, Satan."

Important Correction.
The Daily Review was started in Crawfordaville about a month ago, and saw its twelfth number, wu believe, when it gave out for want of breath. It was Democratic.—Ind. Journal. —We beg leave to differ ulightly with our friend of the Daily Indiana Journal. The Daily Review did not see its twelfth number, but^'ws/ its eleventh. Then again, we know it was not democratic and why? because its editor told our Republican citzens that it should be neutral.

Duplicity of the Administration. Our readers will remember that the Postmaster General, directed the Postmaster at Washington city, not to send Republican documents franked by Hon. John Covode, of Penn.r because, as pretended, his name was not written by himself, although he authorised a clerk to write it.Atlas.
The Washington correspondent of Col. Forney's paper, thus exposes the duplicity of the Cabinet on the subject:
At the very moment when the Postmaster General was making a point against the abuse of the franking privilege, in reference to msmbers of Congress—which members of Congress have the right to frank their own speeches and all their public documents—the Attorney General of the United States appears before the public in the attitude of a semi-official combatant, against a Senator, in a partisan paper, and not content with this specimen ol bad taste, sits him down and proceeds to send this political partisan production all over the Union under his frank!
Now, it is to be presumed that Postmaster General Holt did not move against Mr. Congressman Covode interdicting the circulation of Republican documents, unless they were franked by Mr. Covode himself (and not by his agent)—without consulting the Cabinet, including the President, and without taking the opinion of the Attorney General. This reform was trumpeted far and wide as a great Administration measure, and as ono which entitled tho Ad*$ifii§tratian to tfe§ Commendation of all good men—and, to do justice to this truth, it has been generally applauded.
In order to show the hollowness of the motive, however, which dictated this reform, the law officers of the Government come forward, and uses his official frank for the dissemination of an attack upon a leading Democrat. I understand that steps are to be taken to ascertain whether it is not a much more marked abuse of the franking privilege than any which has lately transpired.
Horace Greeley, now in California, is broken out all over with boils. Wetho't it likely that what he saw at Utah would make his blood boil.—Prentice.,
A Devide of the democracy. Tho agitation of the slavery question is kept op by tlie leaders of the Democratic Party for the purpose of diverting p'tatlic attention from their, squanderings of the public money.
To show the extent of this extravagance a«d corruption of the party, we make the following extracts from a speech recently made by Mr. Harris & member of Congress from Baltimore:
Look at-the accounts of your public expenditure, and see how appalling is its increase. From 1789 to 1822 the whole aggregate expenditures of Government were 8302,254,868. From 1854 to 1858 they were $304.426,004—showing an excess of expenditure during these five years, exclusive of payments on account of the public debt, of $2,171,135 over the entire expenditure of the Government from 1789 to 1822—a period of thirty-three years, during which a war wijh Great Britain was carried on!
Again—the expenditures during the Administration of Johp Quincy Adams were in the total aggregate, $49,313,203. The annual average expenditure from 1855 to 1859 is $63,329,00^—showing an average expenditure for eactj year of the last four years of $14,027,326, more than the entire expenditure of the uftole four years of the much-abused Administration of Mr. Adams.
Not less to be censured is the reckless manner in which the money thus squandered is raised. The Administration found the Treasury full. It has beggared it, and twice already it has been forced to become a suppliant to Congress for loans
of millions without even a plan for the redemption of the debt, and with a majority party in Congress setting its face doggedly against a tariff policy that would have relieved the necessities of the State. How have all these millions been squandered, is the question every honest man in the country ought to ask. Through a thousand avenues of corruption, they have passed from the vaults of the Treasury to feed partizan favorites, and to fill the halls of Congress with the willing tools of the Administration. Wander through the Capitol extension at Washington, and see extravagance inscribed from door-step to pediment—see it blazing in gold in halls and corridors and committee rooms, reflected from costly mirrors, and cushioned in luxurious lounges.
Ponder especially the reports in the Ft. Snelling and Willett's Point cases. Scrutinize the damning disclosures of the printing committee and the select naval investigating committee. See the President himself implicated in the dispensation of contracts, on exorbitant bids to favorite establishments which had the power to control the election of Administration candidates. Read the charge made by Mr. Cameron in open Senate, that Mr. Rice, of the "Pennsylvanian," in Philadelphia, had a contract for blanks for $40,000 that it cost him but $5,000 to print, the profit being divided, fifty per cent to the Washington Union,
five per cent, to Mr. Appleton, Assistant Secretary of State, and three per cent, to a newspaper in the interest of a Democratic member of Congress—and the further statement coming from Mr. Rice that the arrangement was with the cognizance of the President himself!
Look at the demand made by the agents of the Government, and which tho War Department last year recommended to bepaid, on account of the Indian disturbances in Oregon, which amounted to six million dollars, while by the report of the committee of Military Affairs, only about ono million and a half is declared to be justly due! 'Scrutinize the items showing that Government was charged wieh pistols at $55 apiece $125 each for muskets $120 per ton for hay $5 her bushel for oats, &c., all of which the War Department recommended should be paid.
Examine these and a thousand other developed corruptions, and coaee to wonder that even in tho bosom of the Democratic party itself men should be found, who, unable to stand such corruption, tear the mask from the veiled iniquity, and denounce it unsparingly. Read what the Washington "States," a Democratic paper lately said of it: "These are astounding developments, the reports of the Naval and Printing Committees, but they are of a piece with the prevalent practices of the Federal Capital. From the by-ways and highways of the Government the rottenness of corruption sends forth an insufferable stench. Why are the people so patient? Why slumbers the indignation of the Democracy?"
The people were induced, it says again, "to anticipate a return to the simplicity and purity of earlier days. Never did corruption exhibit such rank luxuriance of growth in every department of the public service. They expected reform—they have an aggravation of abuse. They expected retrenchment—they are insulted by proposals for the most absurd and mischievous appropriations. Millions have been expended for the suppression of Mormonism and the abomination flourishes with undiminished vigor and a more audacions ambition." Read in the "Memphis Enquirer," edited by ex-democratic Senators Clemens aud Borland "When we belonged to tho Democratic party, it was neither cursed with the heresy of disunion, nor disfigured with the foul slime of corruption. It was a party of principles, true to its pledges, and unfaltering in its attachment to the cardinal doctrines of Jefferson and Jackson. The motley thing that has stolen its name bears no resemblance to the old and sterling organization, is entitled to none of our allegiance, and never was."
Hear this same Mr. Clemens, insisting in a late speech, at Nashville, that "in his opinion the Administration intended to use the thirty millions it asked for the purchase ?f Cuba, a? corruption fund to secure tho nomination and election of John Slidell as President of the United States," and observed that in a recent speech made in the canvass now going on in California, Senator Broderick, a Democrat, accuses his colleague, Dr. Gwinn, "of having supported the thirty million bill, when he knew it was the intention to use the money as a corruption fund in order to carry the next Presidential election for either Buchanan or Slidell."
jfSrMr. Douglas has lost his only South Carolina organ. The Edgefield Advertiser, which has hitherto advocated his nomination, says his article in Harper's Magizine renders it impofesible for the South to support him.
From the Manhattan (Kansas) Express. Terrible Suffering on the Plains. News recently reached Fort Riley by two soldiers who came in on Express duty from Prairie Dog Creek, that the men who had started for Pike's Peak were lying in a starving condition at one of the distant unoccupied stations of the late express company of Jones & Russell. The soldiers reported that if adequate means were sent to their relief, it was still possible that they might be found alive, although they were left in a delirious and feeble condition.— 1st Lieut. Charles Griffin and two others were immediately dispatched with what limited means the Quartermaster at the post could furnish. The philanthropic mission reached its destination on the 3d day. Both father and son were found even in a worse condition than represented.— They had been at the station eight days before they were relieved by the small quantity of tea, bacon and bread, that the sergeant, who first discovered them, could spare, who gave strict injunctions to eat very sparingly else death would ensue— they being so weak that they could scarcely stand up without holding on to the door.
It appears that they had lived on grasshoppers and mildewed corn picked up from among the excrements left by the animals which had been fed at the station.— Providentially, a few young shoots of corn were found to be springing up about the station, and a dried skull of a Buffalo had been thrown aside. They caught from 20 to 30 grasshoppers every morning while the dew was still on the grass, until they became too faint to procure this scanty supply of food, which they had to husband in order to make a stew of grasshopper, buffalo hide and young corn stalks, in a small tin cup, to eat at night, to promote sleep and prevent delirium.
Thus they sustained life until they obtained the cupful of tea (about a quarter of a pound,) two loaves of bread and a pound or two of bacon left by the sergeant. When found by Mr. Griffin, they were too debilitated to be immediately removed.— He accordingly left private Machler to take care of them, and went on another day's ride to repair his wagon, which had broke at the camp at Prairie Dog Creek.
The father states that his name is Mr. W. Frost, that he is fifty years old, and that his son Thomas Frost, who was with him, is seventeen years old, the eldest of six children—the five others being left behind at Pottsville, Pa. He is a shoemaker by trade. He started with $100, having left $60 with his wife; he paid his way to Leavenworth City, from whence he had started on foot. ~~~~~

From the Central Presbyterian.
DIED—Of Typhoid fever, at the house of their father in Bath county, Va., on the 8th of June, Mr. JOHN* McK. BIUTTON, in the 27th year of his age, and on the 13th of July, Mr. SAMUEL B. BRATTON, in the 21st year of his age, and on the 14th of the same month, Miss MARGARET A. BRATTON, aged 19 years, children of Andrew & Mary J. T. Bratton.
Tho above announcement, without any thing additional, will tell the many friends anl acquaintances of this family the heavy afflictions through which they have been called to pass. The one-half of their flock of children, who had "grown up as olive plants" around them, together with three of their servants, have been laid in the graves, all cut down by this insidious disease. Only nineteen hours intervened between the death of Samuel aud Margaret, and their corpses were lying at the same time in their father's house, forcibly re minding all present of that appropriate metaphor, Ps. ciii 15-16, "As for man bis days are as grass as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it and it is gone and the place thereof shall know it no more." Samue! had not made a public profession of religion, he, with the rest of the family, had been from childhood trained up in the 'nur-ture-and admonition of the Lord." It is known that he was under serious impressions before his sickness. He expressed to his pastor the great comfort which he had in fixing his hope and trust on the Savior. Ho was much engaged in prayer during his illness, and died under a blessed hope of divine acceptance. John and Margaret had both been, for some years, members of Windy Cove church, and had the full confidence of their fellow Christians, as to the sincerity of their piety. They were greatly sustained throughout their sickness and died with tho most satisfactory manifestations of Gad's sustaining an 1 to aborting grace, praying to the last, not only for themselves, but for those left behind, and rising triumphant above the fear of death, they passed, as we confidently believe, under the guidauee of the chief shppherd, 'through the valley of the shadow of death' and are now joyful companions together in the heavenly world. Lovely young people, the^| ire greatly missed by those whos.' happy household has been so desolated, and they will long be missed by a large circle of relations and friends, but they have gone, wo trust, to that land in which "sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are felt and feared no more." PASTOR.
Clmnce for Democratic Howls. .Because the Republican* °P" dorse the Dred Scott decision wiir!C'.2 fh-? Constitution is declared to cairy Slavery into all the Territories without postive law and even to protect it there in defiance of Territorial laws until a State Constitution has been adopted, they are stigmatized by both Buchanan and Douglas Democrats as being "Nigger Worshippers" & as being in favor of "Negro Equality." But now that Douglas himself, in his Harper Magizine article, runs counter to the Dred Scott decision in the respect above referred to, by declaring that the Constitution does not take Slavery into the Territories and that Terriio.ial Legislatures have the right to directly and postively prohibit it, and thus far planting himself fairly and squarely upon the Republican platform, where is the Northern Democrat that has publicly stigmatized him as being a Niggor Wordhippor" an A as favoring "Negro Equality.?' Here is a good chance for an extra howl or two. Why don't you pitch in? "It is a poor rule that won't work both ways.'-South Bend Register.
SETTLING THE SLAVE QUESTION.—The bogus Democracy want to elect their P-ej-ident next year—for what, do yon suppose? Why to settle the slavery question! That is tho cry with these hypocrites on the eve of every Presidential election. But what puro gammon! What unmitigated humbug!
Now if tha Democracy have not settled the slavery question yet, although tbov have been in power all the time, had they not better quit trying? After 8n attempt of ten or twenty years, they have not only failed to settle it, but have broken themselves into as many pieces as there are States in the Union. But we do not believe there is a man in the Union who sincerely believes that the Democracy can settle the slavery question, or want it settled. In fact, they are the only persons who have ever linsettled it. Au-Ay.wiih tLoir bvpoorisy.—Richmond Whig.
HOGS.—There will probably be 206,000 more hogs in the state this year than there were last, and they will bo heavier. The hogs last year averaged universally light.
There will be corn enough raised to raise the average considerably. Many farmers in the Southern part of the State have sommenced feeding corn to their hogs already, under the certainty of a crop that will stand it. The cholera has been fatal along the Wabash in many places, but we should judge that in the main, the loss from this cause will be less than it was last year. Cincinnati may look out /or a pretty brisk pork season this winter.
The above item in relation to hog} in Indiana, i8 from tha Cinciunnti Gazette of September 21. Buyers here are offering $4,50 for hogs, and at that price there are no contracts making. Tho hog men on the river faired so badly with last year's crop, that they show ho anxiety to contact this year. Wo hear of DO river buyers in our state trying to contract.—Indianapolis Locomotive.
QUALIFYING HIMSELF.—The London Quarterly for July has th« following story.
A native of one of the South Sea Islands went to a missionary desiring baptism. On his confessing that he had two wives, he was told that he could not receive the sacrament till ho should promise to be contented with only one. He retired without asking further explanation. The next day he presented himself again and reiterated his desire for baptism, saying he bad then only one wife, On examination it was discovered that he had qualified himself for the ceremony by killing-auditing one of his wives.
WORK
ON
MOUNT VERNON.—Thelfoun?
Vernon Record says that the work of putting Mount Yernon in good condition has been fairly began. Since the 1st of July workmen, under the snpenntendenco of-a competent gentleman, have been busily engaged in repairing out-houscs,- tracing and cleaning up the old and almost forgotten paths, and fortifying iu some measure the revered spot against the ravages of decay. The Record also states that $15,000 of the fourth and last instalment for the purchase of Mount Vernoa has bean already paid to Mr. Washington, leaving only about 8 SO,000 to bepai 1 to complete the purchase,
