outtial. EVANSVILLE, IND TUESDAY MORNING.., ..SEPT. 28 Judge Otto's Speech. The address of Judge Otto to the citizens of Evansville, at the Court House on Saturday evening, carried us back to the better days of the Republic, when honorable and fair discussions of principles were maintain-'! ed between the champions of the old Whig and Democratic doctrines. The speech was perspicuous and logical, and most admirable injstyle and elocution. It was far the ablest political address of the season, and was listened to for nearly three hours, with unflagging attention by a full audience. , ! It was a clear exposition of the doctrines of the most conservative class of Republicans. He was national in all his views, and little exception could be taken to his doctrines, except to the right claimed for Congress to. legislate in all matters for the Territories. This was the theory of the early statesmen of both parties, and was the received faith till 1850. But it has been wisely and fortunately superceded, by the new : dogma of popular sovereignty, which takes the dangerous questions of local institutions out of Congress, and refers them to every section to determine for itself. It comes, practically, to the same result, for if the power of Congress were undisputed, it would be danger- j ous to excercise it, and it would sever be exerted"; the territories would be . left to themselves to construct and regulate their own institutions. The doctrine of Congressional sovereignty in the Territories has been made obsolete by the progress of public opinion and the course of events. It is, therefore, injudicious for any party to assume it, obtrude it into a canvas, and wreck itself and its principles in defence of a barren abstraction a principle that, however correct as a deduction from the powers conferred by the Constitution can never be applied in the actual legislation of the country. . It i3 strange that the Republican party does not gain the wisdom by its defeats, to avoid un popular, impracticable, and dead issues. It i3 deluded from its proper course by the false issues presented to it by its opponents. It ha3 run a muck and damaged its head on the bootless slavery question ; and it is now just beginning to acknowledge it is a matter it had nothing to do with, as a national party. But its leadera are taking positions as injudicious, unpopular, and impracticable as those they are yielding. There can be no good attained by contending for the empty snpremacy of Congress over the Territories, and why not leave it in abeyance. The surest means to secure the triumph of the opposition is to silence in their ranks all dis cussion of slavery for two years; forbid any reference to it by its partisans, and endeavor to lead the people unbiased by any sectional exasperations to a calm considera tion of the measures and policy of the Ad ministration, ana tne party tnat now upnoias it, wm De overtnrown witnout an effort. JGQJ" John C. Shoemaker, Lecompton candidate for State Senator, has employed some one to write him an address to the voters of Perry, Spencer and Warrick coun ties "on those questions of State policy " n3 he phrases it " on which it will be my province to legislate." If it is to be his " province to legislate,' the other members will have a province very barren of labors, unless it bo to do np the " Bright politics." This gentleman, whose M province is to legislate," is opposed u to paper money credit " in all its forms. He believes bank ing is nothing less than an ingenious method of enabling the unproductive and least use ful part of society, not only to live on what they owe, but to fatten and grow rich at the direct expense of the toiling millions. Every bank bill is only a promise to pay ; a certifi cate mat somebody is in debt. " All ex perience proves to my mind that the scheme of paper credit, to circulate as money is utterly indefensible upon any sound prin ciple3 of political economy." " I repeat it that I may be understood, that without com promise or concession, I am opposed to the whole paper money credit scheme under anv form of restriction." "Banks are crea tures of the law and derive their sole exist ence from the law, and the law should di rect their mode of management, amount of charge, &c. Banks should not be permitted to change their notes for the notes of indi viduals only under the most careful regu lations." It being his " province to legislate, and banks are creatures of the law," he proposes to take the entire charge of the banking of the State. As a beginning in the great work of his monetary reform, he promise3 to abolish the circulation of smaller notes than ten dollars He i3 opposed to the retrc-scssien of the Wabash and Erie canal; and wants the common school system made more efficient, but by what means he, don't tell. He will reform the townsrip organization, and abolish the regular panel of jurors in the Common Pleas Court, by which " he will save several hundred dollars each year to his Senatorial district;" by this gigantic conception, Warrick, Spencer and Perry are promised an annual saving of fifty dollars each. Being a money lender at fair interest " he is decidedly in favor of free trade in money. The writer of the card makes him say, "I am unable to understand upon what principle of philosophy men are competent to contract to their liking upon every other matter upon earth, except for the use of money. From what source legislators get their wiädom to know precisely what interest all men under all circumstances can ß'ord to give or take for the use of money, I am not informed. Previous to the sixteenth century the doctrine was that it was n nj nst to receive interest at all. The argument thi a was that as mosey could aot crc-

ate money, it was therefore wrong to charge for the use of the money, and it seems to me that our present restrictive interest laws are relics of dark ages, and not in keeping with the fast, popular sovereignty age in which we live. ; .' '. v His constituents may rest easy upon the following useful pledge .. ,. . I shall permit no party strife to lead me so far to disregard the wishes and interests of my constituents, as to with-bold my support from the passage of a revenue.bill, a a law for the appraisement .of real estate and pther necessary legislation.' : 1 But the "reform on he which lays the stress C-f italics ia that of a very crying evil, especially in the eyes of dumb candidates and mum legislators. He says ; ' -, v ' li I will repeat what every legislator an3 almost every voter knmct to be true,' that just tueh gassing speeches as Mr., .Laird can't livie without jpaking, are actually the ; greatest draw-back upon the real business of legisla Hon." J , ... : .... . ,.:... : .,; : He will, therefore, have a gag applied by law to all such windy, troublesome gen tiemen in the Legislature, who so greatly dis

turb the silent cogitations of the profound thinkers, who never reveal to the world by sign or word, the processes of logic through whose . unsearchable depths their wisdom isattained ; but sitting in awful silence, bid the light of truth to unfold itself, and the world Is amazed a' its effulgence. Oratory will be but a poor accomplishment, and the crow of every " Shanghai " will be hushed. when Shoemaker enters the Senate. BSs The Enquirer, while it is most vio lent in its denunciations of all bolters, and classes them with the Judases and Benedict Arnolds, is itself bolting from its own Dem ocratic County Convention. It assails Messrs. Gavitt and Stinsou, both regular nominees of that body, and heaps it3 vilest abuses upon their names, Gavitt is charged by it with being a blackleg and an extor tioner ; a man whose private character un fits him to hold the office of Sheriff. Its own columns afford the most abundant and con clusive rcfution of these malicious charge: Is Mr. Gavitt any worse now than when he received, two years ago,-the extravagant laudations and sycophantic flatteries of the Editor of tl.e Enquirer? Mr. Gavitt's character as a man and an officer was then i theme of his constant praises. ' Mr. Gavitt had then the dispensing of loaves and fishes on which the hnqutrer was fed." Mr. U. now declares that if he be elected, he will never give another dollar's worth of printing to the man who has betrayed him, asd now abuses him. The election of Mr. McBiide will be the same as the re-election of MiHall, for the interests ofthe Enquirer, From Mr. Siascr it has a promise of half the loaf; but from Gavitt it has nothing to hope. Victim of an Abortionist. In Cincinnati on Thursday, nn inquest wa3 held over the body of Mrs. Eliza Mooney, a highly respected lady, the mother of three children, nud the wife of a respected citir.cn. The tcstinionv elicited shows that Mrs. Mooney, being pregnant, desired to escape the increase of her family, and her de sire led her to secretly counsel and engage a female abortionist, who furnished her with an instrument to tulhll her desires. In using thLs instrument she met with a suil den and awful death. She was found deai in her chamber, about 11 o'clock on th evening ot the 22d inst., bv her husband who had just returned from the fair, and ex pectci to find his wife, as he had left her, in the bloom of health, and was startled to be hold her a corpse. The rnnid servant of the family testified that the house had recently been visited by a mysterious woman, who came, remained and left closely veiled so much so that view could not be had of her face. She al ways proceeded to the chamber of Mrs Moonoy, with Whom she remained closeted What passed between them, the witness did not know, auJ though she thought the con duct strange .she said nothing about it. She was aware of the pregnancy of her mis trcs.s, but had not beard her sav anything about producing abortion. The mysterious visitor was nn abortionist, to whom, as yet, there is no clue. When Mrs. Mooney was first found, she was lying on brr face, in a cramped position. The terrible instrument and the ingredients to be used with it, were by her side, lying on the floor. Her countenance indicated dreadful suffering and pain before death, which must have been very sudden. A desire to conceal her act, probably prevented her calling for assistance until it was too late. JBT" In June last the country West ofthe Red River of the 2forth, was filled with rasshopper3 just hatched. The inhabitants fearing, as in a previous year, destruction of their crops, siit to St. Paul for flour and pork to eke out their supplies. It seemp, however, that, about the 20th of June, the grasshoppers rose in the air, and in a body attempted to emigrate cast of Red River. But lo! and behold I their ambition exceeded their ability, and down they fell and were drowned in the. Red River, whose surface they covered to the depth of three or four inches. This has improved the fisheries ou Red River, and the fish now caught, it is said, fare gloriously fat. The drowning of grass hoppers, therefore, not only rejoiced the hearts of all the people of Red River of the North, but even the fish thereof must have shouted with gladness at the plentiful feast spread before their maws. " 'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody any good." J5Sa? In his speech at Washington, Daviess county, Judge Niblack made an appeal to the members of the American party to stand aloof and see the "pretty Democratic fight between him and Hovey." They can get a good view of the fight in the position they have already taken, and can, at the same time, " put in a few licks on the right side." . It would be an agreeable arrangement for Judge Niblack to have them preserve " masterly inactivity." But it is not in their nature, to remain . passive when great principles are violated, und the rights of the people threatened, ,

Thb Rcdd akd Hall Candidates aek

Dropping off the Tracks We learn from a reliable source that Mr. Calvert declares himself not to be a candidate for the Legislature ; and further says, he never sanctioned the use that has been made of his name as an aspirant for the honors of a Representa tive. . . . Mr. Thomas W. Royston requests us to withdrawals name as a candidate for sheriff. Mr. Paine , has also, we learn' withdrawn from the 'contest, leaving. Mr. Gavitt, the regular" nominee of the Democratic Convention, to-coptend withCMessrs. McBride and Stäsertworbolters-i-as- bis. only competitors! There Is but little doubt of the elec tion ' of "both Gavitt and StinsonTby large majorities.-'- .''i' ' 'i MrJPeter CoopiSb". The Rev. Peter Cooper,-well known as the "dreamer of CooperV; Well, died ' recently in ! nolmes county- Mississippi. It is generally believed that be was led . to the . discovery of the waters which bear his name, by a dream re peated three., times, designating the spot. He was a preacher in the Methodist conferference; and quite poor- He dreampt repeat edly of the existence of medical springs upon the spb and found them. They have proved sovereign remedy for affections of the bowels, .and were a source ' of a large fortune to himself. . ' , The Destruction of tne Oil Works - . " " at CloverportU '- " Tbe extensive Oil Works at Cloverport, Ky., were destroyed by fire on Saturday night. Fifty thousand barrels of oil was coasumed and thrown into the river. We are told that the surface of the river for sev eral miles below was, the next morning, covered with the floating oil. We could not bear that there was any insurance, and the loss must be very heavy. The fire is sup posed to have originated from the gas gen erated in the ovens. Ton Jews and JesiSvA communication copied into the Jewish paper, the Israelite, of Sept.' 10, published in Cincinnati, says: The Jews do not bitterly denounce Jesus Christ as an iuiposler and deceiver. They hold nearly the same views in relation to him as do many respectable Christian sects. The Jews, Universalists and Unitarians differ but little ill their opinions of the mission and teachings of Jesus Christ. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. W OOK MIERE RE.l II THIS.
