[Conclusion of proceedings of State Ratification Meeting at Indianapolis.] SPEECH BY HENRY S. LANE.

At the conclusion of

Mr.

Mr.

Blair's

speech, Hon. Henry S. Lane took the stand. He desired before entering upon any arguments to refute a charge which Gov. Willard had seen fit to prefer against him. He said that Mr. Willard had so far descended from his high position as Executive of the State of Indiana as, in a stump speech which he made at New Albany a few days ago, to make a false and malicious statement concerning him (Mr. Lane.) It that speech Gov. Willard said that

Lane was a defaulter to the State in the sum of several thousand dollars.

The facts of the case are, that Mr. Lane became security for the former Secretary of State, Mr. Noflfeinger, whose bonds were forfeited for some cause. But Mr. Lane said that Noftsinger did not owe the State one cent, and that if he did he would sco that it was paid promptly, as soon as he (Lane) was elected Governor, as he was sure he would be elected. I would.be glad if I had time and spaco to dwell more at length upon this calumny uttered by Gov. Willard„.bil't every intelligent man will understand and appreciates the motives upon this Honorable individual in leaving his chair of Stjite to proclaim falsehoods to the people. There is a further satisfaction in knowing that the people do not believe all the Governor says, and the Governor himself does not always know what he says.

I have not time to write about Caleb B. Smith's able speech, or to allude even to the powerful address of Hon. Ben Stanton. I must conclude by subscribing myself McC.

Douglas on Clay.

Some years ago Douglas was a candidato for Congress, in the 6th Congressional District of Illinois. Hon. David M. TVoodson, was his opponent.— During the canvass they spoke at Carrelton, and in his speech at that place Douglas used the following language "Henry Clay is a black-hearted traitor, and the only Statesman who ever sold himself for British gold."

In the broad land is there an old line Whig with an honest soul, ready to vote for Douglas? If so you endorse what Douglas said, and slander the dead, whom you so joyously followed when living. Great God, is it possible for old line Whigs to vote fo* Douglas. By the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, ho should little bo regarded as the sacred promises of Clay. Was Clay, the idol of the old Whigs, a "black-hearted traitor," or is Douglas a liar? Your votes, old Whigs is your verdict on the case.—[N. Y. Tribune.

WOOD.—Our patrons who wish to furnish wood on subscription to Journal, will please bring it along within a few weeks. We want none but good Sugar Hickory and Beech wood, cut green, such as can be used, or consumed in stoves.

B@r~Farmers, trade your Produce for chear» soods at Snyder's.

The Advancing Column. From all parts of our State do we hear glorious news of the advancing column of independent Republicans.— In this and in every county is the number swelled b}' the serious and rcflecting Democrats, who have long witnessed the corruptions of the Old Line party, and have resolved to stand and act no longer with those who battle for slavery and against the best interests of the free laborers of our country. They have stricken off the party shackles and now move on in that mighty and still increasing throng over whom waves the Republican flag.

This advancing column knittogether by principles which animated the hearts of patriot Fathers in the darkest hour of the Revolution, has struck dismay into the hearts of all the factions which oppose it. Coalitions may be formed by political leaders Know Nothings, slavery propagandists, and African Slave Traders may unite their forces, but they will be swept away as chaff before the whirlwind. The freemen of our land are aroused their rights have been trampled in the dust efforts have beon made by the powers that be, to wrest from them the sacred privileges bequeathed by tho patriot heroes of the Revolution attempts have been made to break down tho civil and religious institutions of our country, which things have stirred the deepest feelings of the American heart, and they are finding vent in acts and language not to be mistaken or misunderstood.

On, on will move that glorious column, till its grand mission is fulfilled, and the corrupt body of a dead Democracy is buried to kno# no^es&rreetion.

Capital Should Own Labor. It should never be forgotten that II. Y. JOHNSON, the candidate for Vice President on the Douglas ticket, has declared and now re-affirms the doctrine that "Capital should Own Labor." That is, that the rich should own the poor, and compel them to labor for their good. Every man in Indiana who votes the Douglas ticket, is vir&aily the advocate of this nefarious, thisantirepublican doctrine. He says to the poor laborer, to the mechanic, to every man who earns his bread in the sweat of his face, you are unworthy of freedom, you ought to belong to some rich man, and spend your strength for him. Will the honest laboring men of this country sanction such a principle?— Will they thus degrade themselves, and thus become the willing and suppliant tool of a despotism equal to any that has ever oppressed the world? Who that has one spark of solf-rcspect burning in his breast. who that feels himself a man made in tho image of his Maker, can sustain men who would thus degrade them and rob them of the dearest rights of freemen.

Douglas and llcli.

The leaders of the Douglas and Bell parties have united and are determined that tho people shall bow to their doctrine. Such a coalition is evidence of the most corrupt political action that has occurred since the days of Aaron Burr. They have not agreed on one single political principle they have never acted together, but on the contrary have been at daggers' points, they don't now agree as touch ng any one thing save the spoils of office. But the people are not to be bought and sold by political tricksters, they arc not as yet all slaves to be transferred at tho will of would-be despots. Thank heaven, there is yet independence among the masses the love of freedom yet glows in their hearts they will scorn the trade, repudiate the trafficers and consign to oblivion the contemptible mountebanks who thus insult their manhood and self-respect.

JB^^Will the Editor of the Review inform us, if Col. Wilson's face has lost that peculiar feature of which he once boasted, that awed the rabble and kept^ them from him. We rather think thai after the October election, the Col. will conclude that his peculiar physiological attribute was more potent than he had ever dreamed of.

fiSjfWhen the editor of the Review charges on the Republican party Negro Equality, in the offensive sense ho attaches to it, we can only say that he lies wilfully, lies maliciously, he lies knowingly and with malice aforethought. lie lies with his mouth, he lies in his heart, he lies for low and contemptible purposes.

B@„Amid the conflicting parties of the present time it is well that true, loyal and national men can find a pure? national party with which to co-ope-rate hence it is that such crowds are flocking to the Republican standard.— The numbers which bears it on and up are daily and hourly increasing, and by the ides of November they will bo like the sands on tho sea shore, which no man can number.

There were just 99 light little giants in procession on Monday night, most of them carried by men who think themselves unfit for freedom.—and only fit for slaves

For the Journal.

MR. EDITOR:—Monday night came, aud with it came tho "Rangers,,' Brewster & Co. and now that the effect of the grand pageantry is partially worn off, let us take a brief view of things that were said and done upon that august occasion.

First then, the "Rangers" came out over a hundred strong— counting boys— and made a very fine appearance their green capes suited their complexions hugety-, and added much to the brilliancy of the display. It is true, some of them appeared rather stiff in the joints, either through the effect of age, or from having too nearly lived up to their principle of squatter sovereignty, we could not tell which. At any rate, they seemed to have lost the proper use of their "propellei'S." For illustration of our meaning, wo need only to refer to the sylph-like movements of our venerated friends the "Knight of the Last," and the "Count of the Quill."— After ]5assing through the principal streets of the town, the Rangers conducted their Speaker and Clerical friend to the Court House. Preliminaries being settled, the speaker was introduced to the assembly by the "Sage of the red Sash." This part of the performance was exceedingly brilliant—it was "done up" in that serio-tragico-comic style which never fails to produce an effoct. As soon as the applause died away, the speaker, with his clerical friend at his feet, opened his mouth and spake. In person he is a small, thin, weasel-faced, 'umble looking individual, with the "deown East" brogue, rich and strong—uses gross and profane language quite glibly and is, taken altogether, a fair representative of that class of politicians described as "thin gaseous bodies, possessing the form of humanity, without any of its ennobling chai-aeteristics."

The first point attempted by this "Demosthene" was the astounding disclosing, that this is the first time that ever the political parties of the U. S. have engaged in a contest on PRINCIPLE—a high compliment that to our fathers a high compliment to Washington, Jefferson, Adams,Monroe, Clay. Benton, Webster, and our other illustrious statesmen, both living and dead, to say that all the noble struggles they have passed through, from the organization of our government down to 1860, no princijrte has been involved.— They have all been cool, calculating, hollow-hearted political tricksters— "policy men," have they? And Douglas has patented the first political principle., has he? So says the immaculate Brewster. His next assertion was that "the Breckinridge party are exactly similar in principle, to the Republicans, except a slight difference upon a minor point." That minor point which cuts so small a figure in the expansive mind of Brewster, is nothing less than a question of constitutional construction, fully equal in magnitude with the principle lie claims Douglas to have discovered for thex*e is surely nothing more than a question of construction of the powers granted by the Constitution.— The Breckinridge party hold the doctrine that the Constitution of the U. S. carrics slavery into territories and protects it when there the Republican party hold that the Constitution of the U. S. carrics slavery no where and protects it no where, except where it exists by virtue of State enactment. That is the minor point on which we differ—a point which will make the Douglas party not only minor but minus on the 4th of March next. He next avowed himself a Henry Clay worshipper, andlashcd himself into a fine phrenzy over the idea of Douglas differing with Clay on the subject of slavery. He represented Douglas and Clay as bosom friends, boon companions, and even went so far as to denominate Douglas as the "mouthpiece" of Clay! Now let us examine the record and see if Clay and his "mouth-piece" did not differ on a minor point or two.

Douglas said, at Carrelton, III.: "Henry Clay is a black-hearted traitor, and the only Statesman who ever sold himself for British Gold."

Do Clay and his "mouth-piece" agree on that minor point Again Clay says: "If I could be instrumental in eradicating this deepest stain (Slavery) from the character of our country, and removing all cause of reproach on account of it, by foreign nations if I could only be instrumental in ridding of this foul blot that revered State that gave me birth, or that not less beloved State which kindly adopted me as her son I would not exchange tho proud satisfaction which I should enjoy, for the honors of all the triumphs ever decreed to tho most successful conqueror. —relay's

speech at Washington, Jan.

20, 1827. Douglas, the "mouth-piece," says: "I care not whether it (Slavery) is voted down or voted up"—[Douglas's speech in Senate, Dec. 9, 1857.]

How beautifully the golden mouth and tho brazen "mouth-piece" agreo!— Again Clay says:

As long as God allows the vital current to flow through my veins, I will never, never, never, by word or thought, by mind or will aid in admitting to one rood of free territory the everlasting curse of human bondage."—[Speech on Compromise of 1850.]

Douglas, tho "mouth-piecesays in defeuding his "principle '•Under this doctrine (Squatter Sove­

reignty) they have converted a tract of FREE TERRITORY l'llto SLAVE TERRITORY, more than five times the. size of the State of New York. Under this doctrine, Slavery has been extended from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of California, and from the line of the Republic of Mexico, not only up to 36 deg. 30 min., but up to 38 deg.—giving you a degree and a half more slave territory than you ever claimed!—[Douglas' 16th May speech.]

O, such a friend of Clay!! O, such a

llmouth-piece"[!!!

Enough on that

point. One of the most unprincipled and unscrupulous assertions in this brilliant effort, was that in which the speaker made the broad declaration that the Democratic party have been and still are in favor of the homestead measure.— In that statement he either over-rated his power to deceive, or under-rated the intelligence of his audience. It was too bare-faced to go down, and when he mock-heroically asked, "Who now is in favor of the homestead measure?" a single weak-toned voice responded, low and soft, "Douglas." Every intelligent man in the country knows well that the Democratic party have always opposed the measure that they have invariably defeated the passage of the law, and that they have no such plank in their platform.

All we have to say, by way of comment, is that whenever the Democracy of Tippecanoe send us another speaker to encourage and enliven the trembling disciples of the Little Giant in old Montgomery, may he be like Brev: ster. X.

Democratic and Know Nothing Lnion. The work is done at last. The great combination is complete. Democracy and Know Nothingism have struck hands, and henceforth will share "bed and board" together. Tho Douglas Convention of New York, which has lately been in session at Syracuse, the telegraph tells, has nominated an electoral ticket with one third of it Bell men, and that tho State Committee of the Bell party have been in constant attendance during the Convention to assist in the work. Both parties are satisfied, that is the leaders of both, and now the difficulty will be to deliver tho thousands of voters thus cool}" bargained aw a)

The Louisville Journal invites the Douglas men to the same arrangement. Read: "The friends of Bell and the friends of Douglas might vote for one electoral ticket, cach voter designating his own Presidential choice in a mode agreed on, and, if the ticket should succeed, the electors should divide their suffrages between Bell and Douglas in proportion to thepopularstrength as evinced at the ballot box."

Gov. More-head in his speech in this city on Wednesday last avowed and justified such an agreement, and the Douglas men applauded it. Now let the foreign born citi/.ens who have so long adhered to the fortunes oftheDemocracv, and made its strength, and gained its victories, see to what an entertainment the}* are invited. How do they like being sold out to tho Americans?—Ind. Journal.

"FAH FA^irixS10N.» Under the above caption the Illinois State Democrat- (Breckinridge) makes the following points against Douglas in first dividing the Democracy, and then looking for a fusion with Bellevorett after he announced himself in favor of the principle on account of which Douglas left the Democracy.— Says the Democrat:

Douglas divided and (so far as ho could) broke up the Democratic party, at Charleston and Baltimore, ostensibly because he would have nothing to do with men who claimed national protection for slavery in the territories. He was nominated by one part of the convention and Breckinridge by the other the latter by that with thoso views Douglas, as he pretended, could have no association without defilement. But it so happened that the Know Nothings were also in the field, with Mr. Bell at their head, on the general platform of

11

The Constitution and the

Laws." In this state of things^ the Douglas men and the Know Nothings, or Bell men, form a fusion ticket in Georgia. Georgia was remote from Douglas' whereabouts, and there was a bare possibility that this fusion was formed without consulting him. But time passo3, and Mr. Bell Southern friends draw him out in a letter, in which ho takes grounds as distinctl}' and strongly for national protection to slavery in the Territories as Breckinridge, putting the precise difference between himself and Douglas, for which Douglas broke up the Democratic party. In this state of things Douglas personally perambulated the state of New York for several weeks, at the end of which his friends and those of Bell openly forma fusion ticket in that State—a ticket upon which all Know Nothings are to vote for twenty-three foreigners and Catholics, while all Democratic foreigners and Catholics are to vote for twelve Know Nothings. Thero can bo no doubt that Douglas advised, and indeed contrived this fusion. On what motive has he done it. On what "gurreat pur-rinciple?" Why thus ruin Democraoy and embrace Know ]S othingism? On all which has distracted the Democracy, Bell and Breckinridge ai exactly alike—and the only difference is, that one is a true Democrat and the other is an old Whig Know-Nothing. How long will true Democrats continue to be humbugged by this mere selfish trickster, Douglas?

The Douglas Demonstration. Tho hotel keepers and tiie railroad managers werebadty sold on the Douglas demonstration to-day—discounting the expectations of tho Democratic leaders at least one-half. They had reason to expect a tremendous outpouring of the masses and made their arrangements according!}^. But the people failed to come, and the presence of a respectable delegation from Montgomery county, alone saved the demonstration from a contemptible fizzle. It was a narrow escape at best. All the distinguished speakers failed to connect, and the crowd at Stockton's woods, which at no time numbered as many as were jjresent at tho late German Festival, were compelled to listen to stale and unprofitable harangues from Joseph E. McDonald Jno. S. Williams, and other speakers of tho same calibre.

The distressing tedium of the occasion was relieved somewhat by a GENERAL FIOIIT, in which a delegate from Clarkshill circulating on what Mrs. Partington would call the "outsquirts"ofthe crowd, was the ringleader. He struck out right and left, and though set upon by four or five^red-headed Democrats, held his own until other unwashed Democrats came to the rescue.

In the midst of the fray a "solitary herseman" answering the description of Pat Tobin, "might have been seen" riding in furious haste to the scene of the conflict, and with a heavy ox whip in his hand, rode in among the belligerents, and, striking right and left, conquered a peace in a very short space of time. Save a few trifling interruptions of this character, and the too frequent manipulations of "immense applause" in the wrong place, nothing occurred to destroy the harmony of the meeting. It was an orthordox democratic gathering, and according to the usages of that party passed of decently and in order.

LATER.

At eight o'clock this evening a train which we learn was telegraphed for by the disappointed leaders of tho democracy, as a sort of forlorn hope which was to help them out of a scrape, arrived with about one hundred of the ragtag bob-tail Douglasitcs of Indianapolis, as hard Jlooking set of fellows as we have ever seen, all on a "jolly tight," making night hideous with their demoniac 3rellings for fighting whisky, and if numbers of them don't return with mourning eyes, we're no prophets.—Lafayette Courier, 4th.

[email protected] Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, under date of the 23d ult., says: The news from New York is extremely gratifying, and is a guarantee that the State will be all right in November: The dissensions, strife and heart-burnings which the Herald and other Anti-Republican organs so confidently predicted, were not manifested, but on the contrary, the utmost unanimity of sentiment and enthusiastic devotion to tho cause prevailed. The party will present a bold, united and determined front, and will give over 300,000 votes to Lincoln when the great struggle comes.

LINCOLN IN MARYLAND.

I learn that in Maryland, and in Baltimore City particularly, the Lincoln feeling is manifesting itself in a way that is astonishing all parties Not less than two thousand Germans in Baltimore will give Lincoln their suffrages, and more than that number of Americans, disgusted with the Douglas-Bell coalition, will do the same thing. The Bellites are terribly alarmed at tho large defections from their ranks since the recent developments, which are serious enough to affect their chances of success in a State in which they felt entirely secure.

jjgg^The Southern Confederacy, published in Ilerschel V. Johnson's oicn State, is one of the ablest and most influential papers advocating Mr. Donglas' election. Mr. Johnson himself, at a period not long past, was in favor of the dissolution of the Confederacy, if he is not now. Is it not probable that the Confederacy reflects Mr. Johnson's present views? And would it be singular if Mr. Johnson should know what his master, Mr. Douglas, thinks about these matters? And isn't it probablo that Mr. Douglas thus indirectly, thru' Mr. Johnson and his newspaper, should prepare the public mind for the next stop after his defeat. Looking at it in this light, we know what importance to attach to the following declaration, which wefind in a recent number of tho Confederacy:

We answer this interrogatory hy„ simply stating THAT THE SOUTH NEVER PERMIT ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO JSK INAUGURATED PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS A

SETTLED

AND SKAI.-

DD FACT. IT IS THE DETERMINATION OF ALL PARTIES AT THE SOUTH. AND LEU TIIE CONSEQUENCES BE WHAT THEY MAY—WHETHER THE POTOMAC IS CRIMSON IvD IN HUMAN GORE. AND PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE IS PAYED TEN FATHOMS IN DEPTH WITH MANGLED BODIES, OR WHETHER THE LAST VESTIGE OF LIBERTY IS SWEPT FROM THE FACE OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT. THE SOUTH, THE LOYAL SOUTH, THE CONSTITUTIONAL SOUTH WILL NE VER SUBMIT TO SUCH HUMILIATION AND DEGRADATION AS THE INAUGURATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

The position held by Mr. Douglas upon all questions affecting slavery is of such total indifference that he would favor Disunion it is not at all strange, as he cares not a whit whether slavery is voted up or voted down. He never,, in his whole life, by word of mouth, act or deed, was known to favor the side of Freedom or Free labor, lie-compares the negro to the crocodile in a fight hetween tho two Douglas would say, "Go it husband! Go it bear!"—J.of. Courier.
