Democratic Convention The Democracy of Adams County, will meet in Mass Convention at Decatur, on the sth day of December next, to appoint Delegates to attend the State Convention | to be held :*t Indianapolis, on the Sth day ; ot January, 1858; and to transact such I other business as may come before the : Convention.

We this week publish the delinquent [ list which is by law required to be pub-1 lished four weeks successively, during i which time we ask the indulgence of our readers for being necessarly obliged to trespass upon the usual reading matter' of our paper. It being a source of pecuni-! ary advantage to us is the only apology w« offer. Thanksgiving. Gov. Willard has appointed Thursday the 26th of November 1857 as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer, all good citizens j arc invited to leave of their secular pur- i suits and return thanks to Almighty God for the favors received, and invoke His | blessings for the future. The Proclamation will be found in an other column. [ Wood —Those of our subscribers who I desire to furnish us wood upon subscription, we say bring it along soon, as the > weather is getting cool. Tacitus says that early marriages make I us immortal—that they are the soul and ' chiefprop of empires—and that-the man who resolves to live without woman or the woman who resolves to live without [ man are enimies to themselves destruction to the world, apostates from nature, and rebels against Heaven and earth. Condensed Argument.—A very cele-j brated Scotch divine says: ‘The world we live in must have had an origin; that origin must have consisted in a cause; that cause must have been intelligent: that efficiency must have been ultimate; that ultimate power must have been Supreme; and that which always was, and is Supreme, we know by the name of God!’ The editor of the Slate R'ykls Democrat, published at Helena, Arkansas, takes occasion, during the suspension of thei Banks, to give the institutions a little [ humorous chat: When a private person owes a debt and fails to pay it, his property is seized and sold under execution. If he attempts to I evade payment, he is called a swindler. When Banks are in debt and cannot pay, ' they ‘suspend’-—that is, repudiate— for the time being, audit is all right and fair. [ Every private debtor ought to have himself incorporated ns a Bank—’(would be ito very convenient.’ Etymology of ‘Broker.’—Some inquiry has been made regarding the de-[ tinilion and origin of the term ‘Broker,, j and we will try to elucidate the question. ' Webster has immortalized the class by: stating with great pertinency that, ‘Bro- I ker is derived from Broke;’ a derivation ' no one will have the hardihood to dispute, t It refers at once to the cause and the con- [ sequence of a broker’s business, as he is ■a breaker to every commercial ship that: touches him; and, in the vocabulary of | trade, the term ‘look out for breakers ahead, ’ has changed to ‘look out for brokers, ahead.’ Wherever breakers arc seen rocks arc beneath, upon which a craft, i no matter how staunch, must founder, if she get among them. Now, merchants sometimes get amongst the brokers in I pursuit of ‘rocks,’ an alias for cash, but it argues an insanity recklessness, which! must unavoidably result in utter wreck | and ruin to them. There are seven kinds of brokers as there are seven cardinal sms.— Newark ,1/i rcury. The Reign of Terror.—Are any stronger proofs of the nature and influ once of this terrible agency required than are furnish by the present condition of Baltimore and New Orleans—two cities possessing all the elements of the highest cultivation, and yet degraded bj' scenes of bi u'al violence and outrages scarcely sur-, passed in the annals of barbarism?— When will this ‘reign of terror’ end?— hen will this night-mire of horrors be d is polled ? — Mobile Register. The above question is thus answered by the Baltimore Sun, after briefly recording, in its local columns, the bloody i atrocities of last Wednesday: We have seen and heard enough to know (hat no practical remedy for existing evils ts I+ki‘iv to be emphned at pres- < at. Wiuuv i< is Io come from, and in what extremit v, 4be future can alone determine —coujieltire is utterly At fault. Can a new watch with a second-hand be called a ■< uG Land n' !.?

The V< ill <>. the .Majority Sustained by Gov eruor Walker. The Philadelphia Press ably and heartily sustains Governor Walker in his rejections of the Oxford fraudulent returns, ft predicts that upon both grounds, upon the mandates of the law and upon wantonness and openness of the fraud—and mainly upon the former, that Governor Walker will stand justified before the country. It forcibly and justly says: Governor Walker rejected the false and fabricated vote at Oxford upon legal grounds; but he did so for other reasons, which, had they not animated his action, would have sunk him in the estimation of every just man of every party, as a coward who feared to do right. Ho has been true to the truth, and we honor him for it. The Southern people do not ask that Kansas should be made a slave State by such means as this Oxford fraud. They are a generous race of men. They would scorn a wrong as they would resent a blow. In every Southern State there are hosts of citizens who admit that Kansas will be a free State, and such citizens are not willing to prolong the Southern rule in the Territory, when that rule is no longer theirs by the ballot bo.X. The convention which is io form a Constitution is, itself, not a fair representation t>f the popular will of Kansas; but this has been yielded to because its members were chosen, according to certain forms laid down by a former Legislature, (also chosen under very questionable auspices,) and because the people will have a voice upon the work of these members. The Democrats of the North have stood by patiently witnessing the singular progress of things in the Territory of Kansas. They have forborne to speak of the partial character of former elections; and with rapidly thinning ranks have taken the galling fire of the Abolitionists, who declared these elections to be unjust and unfair; and they have only won the victory by pledging themselves to the nation, that under James Buchanan’s administration the will of the majority should prevail, whether that majority gave the Territoy to the Democrats or to the R-publicans. It was our wish that, when this majority was ascertained, it would be a Democratic majority. We hoped for this for every substantial reason. We believed and we still believe, that it is essential to the true interests of Kansas that its destinies should be in the hands of the Democratic party. But if it is to be otherwise—if the Republicans have won it—in God’s name let them have it. Lets us not dishoner ourselves by a resort to trick and to fraud, to deprive them of it. What if the Republicans should get two United States Senators by this Legislature? Better that they should have twenty than that we rh-erbytotff im-Ttnsf. ' n For long years the writer of this article' has stood by the just demands of the South. There has been no battle-field since General Jackson left the Presidency in which he has not done the best in his poor power to strengthen the hands and protect the rights of the South. For this, while he has received measurless reproaches from the extreme men of the free States, he was rewarded by the ap. proving consciousness that lie was doing his plain duty. And in the present exigency, it is our solemn conviction, based upon a somewhat intimate knowledge of our whole people, that nothing could do our common cause more lasting harm, nothing could work more irreparable evil to the South—nothing would be so sure to galvanize the dying organization last year defeated—than the attempt to legalize and sanctify a proceeding which no man has dared to justify upon the ground of right, and which sets out with a deliberate repudiation of the great principle the ‘the majority shall rule.’

Was Suspension Necessary!—.Confession from the Banks. Our neighbor of the B7i?y has been favored wilh an official statement of the affairs of the Farmers, bank of Virginia, from which it appears that altogether they have about a million of dollars of specie on hand. The Exchange bank, we presume, is equally well to do; so that in the aggregate these banks are in possession of at least a million and a hal/ of specie. And yet they pretend to be under the necessity of resorting to a suspension of specie payment! That is to say, if a poor mechanic come to their counters with one of their own notes for ten dollars, they refuse to pay him, although they' have a million and a half of coin in their ■' vaults. When the community whispers of a ' bankrupt individual that he has broken ‘full handed.’ they mean to say he is a swindler. But it is all right for a corporation of capitalists to ‘suspend’ with millions in their coffers. They even boast of the exploit, and publish a confession of meritorious virtue. They say to their creditors, ‘Behold those millionsof money and despair not of the ultimate payment of the debt we owe you. Only be indulgent for a lime—only' allow us to enlarge our operations—to expand our circulation, on which, although it he ten per cent below the specie standard, we realize seven per cent interest—to continue the sale of northern exchange nt ten per cent premium—only allow us to prosecute this splended business without annoying us with troublesome deniSiids for ih« settlement of small bills, and meanwhile be content with bur assurance, that when it gets to be perfectly convenient we will discharge our obligations:’ in substance and effect this is the meanbanks. And the commuhi*v is <atisfied with the ex-

planation. And why? Because, by the corrupt ingenuity of banking corporations, the system of robbery is so complicated that the uninstructed intellect of the masses cannot comprehend its intricate operations. They may not think with logical accuteness, but they feel with all the force of honest indignation; and the day is not distant when their wrath will consume the monstrous monopolis [sic] which paralyse their labor and prey upon their property. As surely as truth and justice triumph over fraud and error, just so certainly will the common sense of the people demolish the breastwork of plausible fallacy which pettifoggers have thrown around the system of banking corporations. ---<>--- From Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—General Denver, the Commissioner of Indian affairs, to-day wrote a letter to Brigham Young in reply to his communication, administering to him a sharp rebuke for the improper manner of administering the Indian superintendency in Utah. As he exceeded the appropriations by more than $31,000, he has no reason to complain that his drafts have not been paid. So far from encouraging amicable relations, Mr. Denver tells him that he has studiously endeavored to impress upon minds of the Indians that the Mormons are friends and that the government and people of the United States are enemies to the Indians, and the will is to withhold the annuities from the hostile Indians.— Mr. Denver knows no reason why this should not now be applied to Mr. Young. In repiy to Young’s objections io the presence of troops, Mr. Denver says that it is his intention to preserve the peace if they will not interfere with him. However, the executive has no alternative but to crush out the rebellion, and for this purpose all the government are placed under his control. Young’s claim for double salary is against the law, but if it shall be ascertained that his expenditures were properly made, he will be paid if Congress make an appropriation for that purpose. A number of white men having unlawfully intruded upon the Cherokee neutral grounds and resisted all efforts to remove them, application has been made to the Government to eject them by force. ---<>--- Important from the Plains. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11.—We have received advices from Fort Laramie to the 22d ult., which states that Col. Cook’s command of the 3d dragoons was four miles this side of the Fort, and had encountered a snow storm five days previously. Col. Johnston, when last heard from, was 230 miles beyond Fort Laramie.--The snow was, seven inches deep 100 [illegible line] him. Owing to a slim supply of corn, and in the entire absence of grass, his teams and dragoon horses were failing rapidly. News reached Fort Laramie that the Mormons had burnt three government trains consisting of seventy five wagons, near Green River, ninety miles behind Col. Alexander’s command, which constituted the vanguard of the army. It was rumored that the 5th and 10th infantry and batteries of artillery had taken possession of Mormon village at Bear River for winter quarters. ---<>---

Damage to the New York and Erie K. li. by the Flood. Elmira, Nov. 11.—The New York and Erie, and Willamsport and Elmira Railroad Bridge, at this place is nearly gone, and no trains can pass over it. The New York and Erie road is completely used up. The trains and bridges are all gone near every stream. No trains are running ineither direction from this place. The water, however, is going down slowly. The railroad track immediately adjoining the Elmira biidge has been washed away the length of these rails The water is so high as to render the bridge impassable for trains. We learn that a portion of the bridge near Corning has been washed away, but the particularshave not yet been received. Our Language —The Dublin University Magazine says: Dictionary English is something very different not only from common colloquial English, but even from that of ordinary written composition. Instead of about 40,000 words, [ there is probably no single author in the j language from whose works, however I voluminous, so many as 10,000 words j could be collected Os the 40,000 words i there arc certainly many more than onehalt that are only employed, at all, on 1 the rarest occasions. We should any of us be surprised to find, if we counted them, with how small a number of words we manage to express all that we nave to either with our lips or even with the pen. Our common literary English proi bably hardly extends to 10,000 words : our common spoken English hartlly to i 5,000. — — - -4> ■ Aman who diesnot claim to be a judge of swine, says:-—‘Last spring I bought a little pig out of a drove, and he ■ was good for eating, but didn’t grow much.

I PROCLAMATION.' I The cistom which has long prevailed, ( jof the piople of the State assemb hng an- ( I ually, tc return their thanks to Almighty j I God for his watchful care over the we]- t ' fare of our prosperous commonwealth is ( | one whi'h commends itself to the enlighl- j [ ened judgment of all men. We have ( I more than ordinary occasion to be grate- . Iful, forthe abundant harvest, preserved , ' health and continued peace, which has ' I been vouchsafed to us during the present year. I therefore appoint Thursday, the 26th dav of November, 1857. as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, and invite all good citizens to abstain from their secular pursuits that day, return their thanks for the favors received, and unitedly invoke the blessings of God for the future, upon our beloved State and Nation. In Witfess Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused to be affixed the Seal of the State of fsKAL.llndiana, this, the 10th day of November, A D. 1857; the 42dyear of the State, and of the Independence of the United States, the eighty second. By the Governor, i ASIIBEL P. WILLARD. Daniel McClure, Secretary of State. The Swiss Treaty and the Jews. We received a call this morning from our friend Mr. L. F. Leopold, who was a delegate sent by the Israelites of this city to a Convention of this people held at Baltimore on the subject of the Swiss Treaty. The Convention met at Baltimore and resolved to send a delegate to Washington to present a memorial to President Buchanan, asking his intervention in behalf of such American citizens as by their religious faith were excluded from t lie benefits of the treaty. This memorial was drawn by Mr. Martin Bejur an able young lawyer from Kentucky and a member of the delegation, and is a pointed and sognd argument. The delegates went to W h.sbington and on the 31st of October, notice Living been given, the delegation, consisting of Messrs. Cohen, Hockheimer and Herzberg, of Maryland; Gerstley, of Illinois; Bejur. of Kentucky; L. F. Leopold and I. M. Wise, of Ohio, repaired to the president’s House where they were presented in a body to Mr. Buchanan and lion. P. Phillips, of Alabama, in and eloquent address. Mr. Buchanan received the delegation with polite cordiality and unhesitatingly expressed his conviction that the treaty would never have received the sanction of Lis predecessor or the Senate, had it been understood in its present effect. — He said lie had already given instructions for correspondence with the Swiss Government on the subject, and unequivocally pledged himself to a speedy and energetic course with a view to remedy the defect of the treaty as far as it might be delegates returned to Baltimore and reported the happy result of their mission, and before leaving for their homes were treated to a splendid Banquet by their friends.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Now is the Time to Seek Relief from the Evils of Bank Paper.—The evils of the Banking system are being burned into the hearts of men at the present by personal sufferings. There is [ scarcely a family in the land that does not fee) the blow struck at all the sources of industry and prosperity, by this breaking down of the paper currency system. — Now, therefore, is the time to look for some infallible means to insure exemption from like revulsions in the future. There i need be no measures adopted to reach the desired end. Paper money can be gradually withdrawn from ciiculation, and' gold and silver substituted. This was done when the small notes were banished from our State. Then, as now, the weak and timid advocates of a paper currency proclaimed the doctrine that there was not gold and silver coin sufficient to fill! i the channels of trade in our State. But. what was the result? Simultaneously with the disappearance of paper, gold and [ silver came forth in abundance to meet all the wants of legitimate trade. And so it would be if the banks were restricted in their issues to notes of twenty dollars,, or even fifty. The absence of paper cur- j rency is the sure bearld of the appearance : of the precious metals.— Pennsylvania.

Assistance from Providence.—A good old Connecticut deacon was attaching a very poor and feeble pair of oxen to a very large and heavy load of wood. A neighbor asked him how he expected to get so large a load to market with so poor a team? The good deacon replied that he expected to have some assistance from Divine Providence. His neighbor asked him whether it would not be as well to dispense entirely with the txen, and let Divine Providence draw the whole load. Braymanat Alton.—James 0. Brayrnan is now in the State Penitentiary al Alton. His wife and brother accompanied him to that city, where he bid them adieu with his usual composure. He manifested no feeling until the officer in whose charge he was taken there was about to leave him, when he took bis hand held it a long time, am! his eyes filled with tears, but he uttered not a single word. Pater Muney Banks a Nuisance.— The Boston Herald says: “We believe that the community are fast approaching the idea that we should be better off without a dollar of paper money in the market, and that banks, as such, are a nuisance.’

Resurrectionists. —The people of Chicago have been astonished, by the discovery that their City Sexton, has been engaged in robbing the graves of their dead. Suspicions having been excited that such a work was going on, a private police was employed to detect Hie , depredators After some nights ol patient watching, they discovered a wagon with : three men in it. The night being intensely dark, they succeeeded in arresting but ! one of the men, who proved to be Martin Quinlan, the City Sextpn. In the wagon were two corpses stowed into canvass) bags, similar to those used for carrying newspapers by mail. One of the refugees was afterwards apprehended and proved to be a medical student. Who Polls the Most Fraduklent Votes?—The Republicans have always insisted that rowdyism and fraudulent j voting were practiced on election days by the Democrats alone. Well, our Democratic Common Council shut up all the liquor shops yesterday; gave the Republicans the charge of the police, and what was the result? Why, their nigger vote comes up missing some ten thousand. — They have not even the excuse of a rainy day, when their silk stocking voters stay in the house. The day was clear, warm and beautiful—the polls were free of access — there was no fighting, rioting nor fraudulent voting, and of course the Democrats come out farther ahead than ever. Nothing kills of Greeleyism so quickly and completely as honesty and fair play.—W. Y. Day-Book.

The Terre Haute Union, a K. N. print, in referring to the. recent temperance convention in this city, says: ‘The American party always weie a prohibition, party. The State was indebted to them for the former law, and there would have been no abandonment of the temperance issue, if some of the very men who were at this convention had not quit Americanism because they thought the nigger agitation more important than tern- I pcrance. We are glad to sec them coming to the their senses, and consequently coming to the American grounds, which is Io agitate temperance and other domes- ■ tic reforms and let slavery alone. Some people it'll lies to children with a view to enjoy a laugh at their credulity. This is to make a mock at sin, and they are fools who do it. The tendency of a | child to believe whatever is told of God is for good. It is lovely. It seems a shadow of primeval innocence glancing by. We should reverence a child’s simplicity. Touch it only with truth. Be not the first to quench that lovely truthfulness by lies.
