Convention of Saturday. The Republicans of Montgomery county, met in Convention on Saturday last, and nominated candidates for State Senator, Representative, and for the various County Offices to be filled at the October election After the deliberations of the Convention were in part gone through with, an able and eloquent address was delivered by the Hon. WILL. CUMBACK, whose reputation as a speaker is well known throughout the State. lie reviewed in a very clear and forcible manner the policies of tho different parties which are now acting on the political arena and none who heard him can doubt for a moment, that all the sectional feeling and bitter animosities 'now existing between the different sections of our country, are traceable directly to the policy of the

Old Line Democratic party. His facts were based upon history which cannot be denied. Ilis logic was clear and irresistible his anecdotes admirable and always to tho point his eloquence at times high wrought and thrilling, ever and anon eliciting loud bursts of applause. His speech was one of marked ability and power, abounding in argument and historic truth, flashing wit and lofty eloquence, and has left a happy impression on the minds of all who heard him. After the transaction of other business of the Convention, our eftizens were addressed for a short time by Hon. ISAAC A. RICE, Republican candidate for Congress, in this district. Mr. Rice's speech abounded in argument and sound reason. lie gave a clear history of tho Missouri Compromise, its establishment and repeal and all the evils flowing therefrom. The speech of Mr. Rice was well received and was frequently cheered during tho pi'Ogress of its delivery.

The Baltimore Convention. This wonderful body—the most wonderful that has assembled in this or any other land, for lo! these many year? has, at last, brought its deliberations to a close. The conflict between tho contending elements proved as we predicted, irrepressible. The prolonged agonies are over, and tho turmoil has resulted in tho birth of twoncwiy fledged Democratic candidates for the Presidency—both claiming to be tho Simon-Pure—the only genuine, thorough National Democrats. Douglas and Breckinridge—one from the North, the other from the South—one for squatter sovereignty and the other for a slave code. Differing in policy, in principle, in feeling—yet both representatives of unmasked Democracyl

The nomination of Douglas is hailed as a triumph over tho South, (no sectionalism, not a bit,) and that of Breckinridge is greeted as a triumph over the North. (No sectionalism, not a particle.) The old Democratic party—the hoary old monster which has fattened on the products of slave labor, has reared a power which it could not control, wanned a sorpent into existence which stung it to death. Thus have the Disunionists destroyed themselves, cut their own throats, crushed their own party organization, and by so doing have saved the country for there was danger alone from that'party From no other came the disoordant voice of dfsunion from no other was heard that slavery was higher, older and superior to tho Constitution from no other were heard the thunders of nullification and now that they have committed suicide, the last, worst enemj' of- our free institutions is gone, and'tlie glad sound of a national rejoicing is heard' in the land. The coining F.ourth of July may well be celebrated with a jubilant feeling, which has hardly been felt since tho voice which first read the Declaration of Independence died away. Peace to the ashes of the departed monster. Henceforth wo may hope for peaceful and glorious days.

^SS^Thc "Review" is tickling Esq. Fiuk ivith hopes never lo be realized.

Iougia$ Doctrines.

Mr. Goulden (Douglasitc) of Georgia, made the following declaration in the Baltimoro Convention, at 10 P. M., Juno

22d:

"He declares himself an African slave trade man. lie believes the African slave trado to have dono rnoro for the human racc than any other thing. lie called Virginia a slave breeding State, which offended a Virginian, whereupon ho declared himself a slave breeder, and gloried in ft. lie had as many niggers as any man from Georgia. On his plantation wore a lot of babies, as fine as could bo found anywhere. He recommended non-interven-tion everywhere. Tho General Government should tako its hands off, and lot them got slaves from Af-

If right for him to get a nigger from A irginia at $2,000, it was right to go to Africa and get one for .$50."

Aro these the principles of tho Douglas wing of the Old Line party? Will the Douglas party of Indiana inscribe them on their banners in the present canvass? Aro such opinions national, democratic? Do they breathe tho spirit of our frco institutions? Mr. Goulden glories in being a slavedoaler he glories in being a slave-breeder he would glory in tearing niggers (as he calls them) from their homes in Africa, and soiling them into perpetual slavery and yet he is a National, Douglas, Union Democrat ho stands on tho same platform with the Old Liners of Indiana. lie is the friend of Douglas because he believes ho will defend and protect him in his traffic in "human chattels."

Ilow stands our neighbor of tho Review on this question? What greeting docs lie hold out to his slave-breeding, slave-dealing, slave-importing ally? Will the Douglas party have one platform for the North and one for the South? Such janus-faccd policy has succeeded in times past, but the day of its power is gone. Defeat, overwhelming defeat awaits the party that makes such cfl'orts at political swindles.

During the hot excitement in the Baltimore Convention, when tho conflicting elements were clashing and threatening a dissolution of the Convention, Mr Douglas telegraphed his friends to modify the platform so as to sccurc harmony and prevent disruption. What modification could possibly be made, save a total abandonment of squatter sovereignty? There was a difference of opinion on ono subjcct only, and that one was slavery.— Squatter Sovereignty and a Slave Code for territories wero tho two conflicting principles. Mr. Douglas would have squatter sovereignty so modified as to harmonize with the slave code. Is not this backing down? Is it not cowering before the South? Verily th'cro is no stability in Mr. Douglas, tior has there ever been. He has been for and against the Missouri Compromise he has been for and against squatter sovereignty he has been for and against a slave code for the territories and where ho 'is now or what ho will be to-morrow, none can know. We had hoped that the severe opposition of the South would fix him as the advocate of some principle: but at last he quailed, his knees trembled, his determination gave way, his pluck vanished into thin air. Heaven forbid that such a weather-cock should ever preside over the destinies of our country.

Rump IVomlnation.

The Rump Dcmocraej' met at Delphi, on Tuesday last, and placed Col. S. C. "VVillson of this place, upon the block for slaughter. The Col. is about tho ablest man the Rumps could have put upon the track, but he stands a much better chance of being struck by lightning than of being elected to Congress from the reliable old 8th. The friends of "Cousin Sally Dillard" must prepare to mourn over the defeat of that estimable matron at tho coming election.

Tlte Tug of War.

Tho old-lino friends of this county are soon to meet in convention to nominate candidates for the various count}' offices to be filled at tho ensuing election. Among the aspirants for Sheriff, stands prominently forth the great Orator of Ripley, R. J. Fink, Esq. Time and again, have promises been made, that he should be rewarded for his wonderful labor in the cau.-c of Buchanan democracy, with some lucrative office and having determined that be SHALL NOT have tho racc for Sheriff at this election, are trying to soft-solder him through the Review, with hopes of Senatorial dignities. This is rather a mean trick, if Esq. Fink is not all that conld be hoped for in apolitical aspirant. He has labored hard, and labored long he has fought everv good work, and aided in promoting many bad ones, and all for the sake of Buchanan, pro-slavery democracy. Surely the Douglas men cannot now turn upon him and say "he shall not run for Sheriff." But hold Ah, Mr. Fink, there is tho Senatorship! Its honors would sit gloriously on your massive brow, on that arena aye, even the Senate Chamber would be a grand theatre in which to display your powers of oratory! Turn Mr. Fink, turn your vision to brighter honors than cluster about the office of Sheriff. Jack will dress you up, and the thunders of your eloquence will startle the Senate and wreath your brow with unfading laurels. Rut take care Mr. Fink, watch the corners— ai trap is set—a plot is laid—a scheme concocted, which will result in leaving you still the renowned but unpaid, unthanked orator of Ripley aud is not that honor enough

fiS'The Rumps held a ratification meeting at the Court House last night, where their patience was put to a practical test by a long-winded harangue from Col. Manson, n. defeated aspirant for the Congressional racc. The Col. spent much of his time in the abuse of Joe Lane, and we would here remind him of the vote given Lane by the State of Indiana in National Convention some time since, under instructions of a Slate Convention of which the Col. was a member. We shall at some future time, give his record in this affair a little ventilation. It will no doubt improve the manners of Rump orators towards the H(f/i°cma£Do nocratic candidates.

THE WIZARD AND TIIK REVIEW.—Tho editor cf tho Review seems to have formed a strong attach mcnt to this renowned personage, recently from the Theater of Cincinnati, lie is said to have applied several bottles of his most wondorous "sasifac' to the editor's head, with the hopo of stimulating his brain but alas, the "sasifac," though exceedingly penetrating, could not reach the editor's brains. They wero seated too deep down for even tho Wizard's magic touch to reach.

jJt-xT The Review says that the reason Old Abe Lincoln is called "Honest" Abe is to distinguish him from the remainder of his party.

The recent investigations of the Covodc Committee reveal the unpleasant fact, that the windshaken Democracy arc without even that distinguishing feature.

Map Agent.:

Mr. Henry Regar of Williamsport, Ind., is now in our county for the purpose of selling Maps of all kinds, which we havo examined, and find well executed, lie comes amongst us well recommend ed as an honest and upright man, by a number of tho mostinfluential citizens of Williamsport, among whom we may mention Messrs. Brown & Park, At torncys at Law AYin. Kent II. D. Thomas Isaac S. Jones, Auditor of Warren county, and others.— We trust tho citizens of our county will give Mr. Regar liberal encouragement. He will visit our county frequently during the summer season.

JS33"Tho crops in this county bid fair to be very fine. The farmers aro now busy cutting their Wheat.

Resolved. That we endorse the platform of principles adopted at the National Convention at Chicago, and the nomination of ABRAHAM LINCOLN for President, and HANNIBAL HAMLIN, for Vico-Prcs-ident.

Resolved, In the language of Stephen A. Douglas, in his Springfield speech, in 184'J, "that the Missouri Compromise was a harmonizing, tranquilizing measure, that it was cannonized in the hearts of the American people, as a sacred thing," that its repeal was the ruthless act of a reckless demagogue, aud opened up all the fearful struggles and sectional strife that was happily allayed by the Compromise measures of 1850.

Resolved, That if according to the declaration of Stephen A. Douglas, in his aforesaid specch, "Mr. Clay received the sobriquet of the great Pacificator for the part lie took in these measures of peace," iiiiifit not he who with ruthless hand and reckless heart strikes them down, be justly entitled to tho sobriquet of the great Mischief-Makcr? And did not that .act of perfidy and bad faith disturb the peace of this whole nation.

Resolved, That the declaration in the Kansas Nebraska Bill, "that the people are left perfectly free to manage their own institutions in their own way," (when all their important officers are sent them by a corrupt administration, without regard to their wishes) is a swindle, a humbug, a lie and a cheat.

On motion, John Beard, James Harrison and James Stoddard, were appointed to select Delegates to the Judicial Convention, which committee submitted the following:

On motion, it was resolved that the proceedings of this Convention bo published in the Journal. On motion the Convention adjourned.

JOSEPH MILLIGAN, President.

J. M. BUTLER, R. W. HARRISON,

Z?I1'"We learn from the Cincinnati Gazette that Brcckenridgc and Lane also Douglas accept the nominations tendered them at Baltimoro, but that Fit/.patrick will probably refuse to run on tlie ticket with Douglas. Any other course on his part would be unnccountablc, as he was a decidcd Lecompton ite, and recently voted for the Senatorial Slave Code resolutions. His nomination was a gross an palpable inconsistency on the part of tho Douglasitcs.

We will lay before our readers in the next issue of the Journal, all of tlie most interesting parta of the proceedings of this harmonious Baltimore Convention.

BALLOOS ASCENSION. Mons. Hughes, assisted by Profs. Ridge and Crane, arc now engaged in the construction of the magnificent Balloon "Spread Eagle," for a grand ascension in this place on tho coming Fourth of July. This grand air ship will be inflated in the pi*esence of the spectators upon the commons in the south part of our city, which is now in readiness for this purpose, which will comfortably accommodate ten thousand persons.

is said the Wizard recommended our

neighbor of tho Review to drink "sasifac" tea and rub with sassafras, and he would make a very smart editor, and be ablo to retail poetry equal to any peddler.

"S3l».Thc Democracy have much to excite their enthusiasm—say tiro candidates for President.— Wc don't see how they can help feeling enthusiastie.

Congress Adjourned.

The first session of tho present Congress adjourned on Monday last, at noon.

THE SHOW.—The great Van AMgurgh Show is advei'tised in to-day's Joui'iml. This Menagerie and Circus will exhibit in this place on Saturday, July 7th, at 1 & 7 o'clock P. M.

J2£j~0ur neighbor in his last issue appears wonderfully buoyed up by a free use of "Wizard Oil." You aro right Charles, it is unquestionably a good thing and it is said to bo an infallible remedy for scratches and biles and as this is likely to bo an exciting campaign, and as our friend Newton is still a rcsidont of our town, would it not be well for you to purchaso a few bottles of this valuable elixir? It is said also, to be a sure preventive of a man's hallooing "take him off particularly when astride of his antagonist. If it will do this neighbor, you should by all means purchase, and that liberally.

pS"A man named Wm Smith. planter in Oglcthorp county, Georgia, was murdered by a slave, a few days ago.—Exchange.

This is but a common occurrence resulting from tho slave-holding system. But how is it possible for a chattel to commit murder? The commission of a crimo necessarily implies accountability, knowledge of right and wrong and also a knowledge of the fact that violation of law will bo visited with penalty. A mere chattel can have no such knowledge, and of courso cannot be punished. The question then comes up, can slaves be punished for murder under the late decisions of the Supreme Court?

Would it not be just as rational to hang a horso that had kicked his owner's brains out? The Court decisions have placed the horso and the slave on the same footing, both as to right and moral responsibilities.

Will our neighbor of the Review give the public tho real moral position and accountability of tho slave under the Dred Scott decision?

Wave3and Commencement. Fifteen miles South-west of Crawfordsvillc, accessible at this season of the year by the pleasantcst drive from our town, is the village of Waveland—neat, quiet and thriving, in the midst of a delightful region of farming country, with a community alike intelligent and moral its great attraction is the Vftivcland Collegiate Institute. It was our good fortune to be present at the closing exercises of the Institute last week and it is our desire to express the pleasure wc felt in common with the numerous visitors on the occasion, in the hope that the merits of this Institution may become better known and appreciated. The examinations, extending through several days, and conducted by the Teachers and a Presbyterial Committee conjointly, were highly satisfactory, furnishing gratifying evidence of the ability and faithfulness of the Teachers, as well as persevering industry on the part of the Students.

The exhibition of the ''Union Literary Socicty," on Wednesday evening, called out a large audience, and was well received, if wc may judge from the demonstrations in tho way of boquets thrown from all parts of the house.

On Thursday evening the young Ladies, representatives of the "Charlotte Elizabeth Socicty," appeared on the platform. The immense crowd and eager interest manifested by young and old, betokened the expectations connected with their performacc. Nor were they destined to be disappointed. Though they did not present themselves as speakers, their essays and papers wero of such a character, and so well read, as to elicit from the crowd an expression of the most entire satisfae: tion. The performances were so uniformly good, on this evening, that it would be invidious to make any destinction nothing was presented to mar the pleasant effect of the whole.

Friday morning at 10 o'clock, the Annual Address before C. E. Society, was delivered by Rev J. B. Crowe—subjcct, Right Aims. Judging from the manifest interest, in the large assembly, during its delivery, and the many expressions of admiration, after, wc would say that this address was well aimed, as it was certainly well timed and mos' appropriate. At 2 o'clock Dr. N. L. Rico addressed the U. L. Society. It would be the height of presumption in us, as well as an act of injustice to the distinguished orator, to attempt a sketch of his remarks. His object was, by bringing to view the Mysteries of Nature, to show that the corresponding Mysteries of Revelation were not a valid ground of objection to it. While it is true that an established reputation, often gives currcncy to an Ordinary performance, this was an effort worthy of a master mind, and seemed fully to meet the general expectation. The Graduating Class consisted of four Young Ladies and an equal number of Young Men. Their Essays and Addresses occupied the evening, and were truly creditable, though the audience, wearied out by the previous exercises, were scarcely able to give them full credit. The Diplomas were presented by Prof. Coyncr, accompanicd with a few appropriate parting words. Wc must not forget to mention, that throughout, the exercises were enlivened by excellent Music by the Scholars, under the direction of Professors Suffern and Demore:. The impression left upon our mind is, that the Wavcland Institute, is among t\\Q first Institutions of its grade —that it is especially favored in its Teachers that it has secured most happily the attachment of its pupils: and that it is just where it. should be, in the midst of an appreciative community,

iSTThe Rails that "Honest Old Abe" Lincoln split thirty jTears ago in Illinois seem to bother our Democratic friends considerable. They are in rail trouble, rail grief, and we would not be suprised if many of them were caught with the rail fever before tho election.— Dftiaiice Republican.

Tlie Presidential Prospect. -i [From tho Now York Tribune.] From every section and through every channel we havo cheering advices with regard to the Presidential canvass. Men of widely diverse traditions, prepossessions and sympathies, concur in the assuranco that tho right chord has been touched, a substantial union of the Opposition secured, by the nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin. In no State that voted for Fremont and Dayton is there a serious doubt of a Republican triumph in November. These give us 114 Electoral votes, to which— Kansas being most unrighteously kept out—Minnesota (a new State) will certainly add 4, making 118. We shall need 34 moro to elect Ltncoln by the people and for these we shall have to look to the following States: Now Jersey 7 Pennsylvania 27 Oregon 3

Indiana 13 Illinois 11

In all 01 Every one of these we believe Lincoln and Hamlin will carry, and we do not despair of adding Delaware to the list, making their Electoral vote 178—to 125 for all others.

Thus far wc have not counted on a division of our opponents, but assumed that they will put their best foot foremost and give us the best fight in them. If they divide, or stay divided, and run two rival tickets, tho contest will be over before it is fairly begun.

Nomination in tlie Tenth District. The following dispatch gives the result of the Republican Congressional Convention for the Tenth District, held atKcndalville, Noble county, on Friday last:—Ind. Jour.

KENDALVILLE, June 23.

EDTTOR JOURNAL: William Mitchell is nominated over Charles Case in this (10th) District, by a vote of 74 to 38 on the first ballot. Over 3000 live Republicans were in attendance. Tlie people have their favorite. Look out for an increased Republican majority from the 10th. GEO. F. CLAKK.

Tlae Homestead Veto. True to his instincts and inclinations as a Pro-Slavery Democrat, Mr. BUCHANAN on Saturday vetoed the Homestead Bill. The measure thus killed was a compromise between the excellent bill introduced in the House by Mr. GROW, and the. worthless pretense originating in the Senate. The bill as modified, (being accepted by the House as the best that could be obtained.)— So the Homestead measuro is still a live issue before the people, as well as Kansas and the Tariff.—Gin. Gaz.

Tho Maysville (Ky.) Eagle says: The dissensions of the Democracy at Baltimore have been like the scramble of a pack of hungry wolves over a dead carcass. "We wonder if it is tho -'bleeding carcass" of Mr. Douglas, which Pugh said he would carry into the Northwest and exhibit to the people?

JSS^The Louisville Journal inhumanly recommends the Democratic papers to publish just now a few elaborate articles upon their favorite proposition, that the Democratic party is the onl}national party in the country.

Fitzpata-IcK £ecline$. Benjamin Fitzpatrick of Alabama prefers to be relieved from a Presidential association with Mr. Douglas, and declines the doubtful honor of the nomination by the Baltimore "Rump" Convention. Hon. Herschcl V. Johnston of Georgia Juts been selected, by the National Democratic committee, we presume, to accept the place. He has consented to make the sacrifice—to run the risk of receiving fewer electoral votes than AndreAv J. Donelson did four years ago. It is hard for the Democracy to get anything to stick. The whole party is tumbling to pieces, and its wise and sagacious leaders see its dissolution. The labor at puffing Mr. Filzpatrick into the proportions of a great man by numerous Democratic papers has all proved in vain. Ever}' drop of the milk is spilt, and must be gathered again and made available for tho nourishment of another candidate

DEMONSTRATION.

ST. LOUIS, June2G.—The demonstration of the Breckinridge faction last night was interrupted at the Planter's House by a large body of Douglas men, attracted thither by the music. Judge Rowlin, late Minister to Paraguay, endeavored for some time, but was not permitted to speak, and finally disappeared. A collision was at one time feared. Another Douglasjubilee comes off to-morrow night.

Mr. Lincoln at Home in 1832. In 1832, when Mr. Lincoln was first a candidate for the Legislature, there were cast in the New Salem precinct, where he resided, for candidates for Congress 27G votes—Gov. Duncan, the Jackson candidate, receiving 97 votes and Pugh, the Clay candidate, receiving 178 votes. Mr. Lincoln at the same time receiving' 277 votes, being all which Avere cast for both the AVhig and Democratic candidates for Congress, and one to sparo.

That old record, UOAV to be seen in the office of N. AV. Matheny, Esq., testifies volumes in faA-or of Lincoln's worth and popularity among his own near neighbors,

PICTURES AND RHYMES FOR LITTLE FOLKS.— Messrs.

Wc know not which most to admire, the merry jingle of the rhymes, or tho ingenuity and beauty of the pictures which illustrate them. The engravings are really charming. It docs one's eyes good to look at them. The book must have been published at a very great expense.
