Political Straws. The Nashville Banner says Hons. IL P. Gentry, Chas. Ready, Barclay Martin, ami Sterling EL CockriM of Tennessee, have abandoned Bell and Everett and declared !br Breckinridge and Lane. A California correspondent of the New York Courier and Enquirer 8J8 Mr. Lincoln will receive thousands of votes in that State, which would not have been cast for any other Republican candidate. lion. (J. Denoistou, ft leading member of the Ameru-an party in New York and a few years ago their candidate for Canal Commissioner, has announced his intention to support Lincoln and riamlin, in a speech at

Prattsburg. The New York juiiTnill 0f Commerce, the most irjfluential Democratic paper in the rnited states, says " it is a downright waste of ammunition to vote for Douglas.'' Others are fast coming to the same conclusion. The " Trite Democrat " is the title of a Breckinridge and Lane paper that has just started in Polo, Ogle County, Illinois. Mr. Douglas, in his speech in the C S. Senate, in May last, said : " Under this doctrine of non-intervention the people of New Mexico have con verted a tract of Free Territory into Slave Territory more tha.v five times the size of the state of new York.' Dr. Thomas C. Staples, of Pettis County, Missouri, heretofore a strong pro slavery tnau, has anuounced himself as the Republivaa candidate for Congress in the Fifth Con gressional District of that State. Republicanijm must be Mourishiutr where men tarily offer themselves as candidates. Mr for . . Staples intends canvassing his district Lincoln and Hamlin. The New York Tribune says that three- j fourths of those in that city who supported Mr. Fillmore in 185G, utterly refuse to be old out by the Brookses to Douglas. Most of the Fillmore men in New York are deii- ! dedly for Lincoln. . A Douglas Democrat of Davenport, Iowa, (;eorge g.

Mr. ; Ihlbbell tbinks tbe best way to duteut tllis j Lcfcee h to go io BtroUg for Lincoln, and! he ba3 .ofaiijhed manifesto to that effect in i I tQe DliVeuport papers. Mr. Douglas in his New Orleans speech i ot 1(58, uses the following language : " Blmt are regarded om property, and art erty. Hence the owner of slaves the same as the owner of any other species of property has a riyht to remot e to any I'tmtory, and carry his jjrojterty with him." If so, has he not the right to carry his property into any of the States as well,aud hold it undisturbed ? If not, why not? Tho3. W. Hartley of Mansfield, the candidate of the Ohio Democracy last year for Supreme Judge, anj who was also a delegate to the Charleston Convention has taken the stump for Breckinridge and Lane. Several gentlemen ivhose names were appended to the late Bell-Everett call for a mass meeting in Cincinnati, have anounced that their names were so placed without their consent. The Winona (Minn.) Republicai says that Dr. diaries Bowen ot that State, has announced his separation from the "Squatteritea " and declared his intention to go for Lincoln. The Dr. thinks Douglas is but a i cat's paw of the Southerners to throw the election into the House whereby they can ; retain their ascendency, and he isn't in for that kind of an arrangement.

Clay at New Harmony Triumphant Vindication of Republican 1'rin ciples by the dauntless Southi r?i Champion of Free Speech and Free Labor--Outpouring of the honest Democratic Masses 5,000 persons present. New Harmony, Ind., July 24, 1SU0. Editors Journal Gentlemen : At an early hour this morning the sturdy yeomanry of Posey and adjoining counties cotnmeuced flocking in to this beautiful village from every point of the compass, and by every conceivable mode of conveyance on foot, on horseback, in buggies and in wagons. Large deputations arrived from the neighboring towns of our sister State of Illinois Grayville, Albion, Carmi, &c, and quite a number from our other sister State across the Ohio. oucu a gainering ui lug people ui tins section of the State has not been seen for manyyears. It is a fact well-known to those at all conversant with the political complexion ot this portion of the country, that hitherto, the people down here have contented themselves with doing the voting, and, conscious of their own honesty of purpose, permitted unscrupulous political tricksters to shape and define their principles. Gradually, however, but firmly has the conviction forced itselt upon them, that in doing so they have allowed themselves to be the dupes of corrilIt Part.v leaders ; and their numbers here to-day demonstrate conclusively that the , f , . j,,..., ahn... take considerable consolation from the fact that the vast majority of those preseut were Democrats. The Republicans were a little m0re jubilant for precisely the same reason. ments ot the Drave Kentucky orator, who came here not to convert Republicans, for that would be a work of supererogation, but j to convince Democrats that the principles of

the Republican party, with which he has so nobly identified himself, and for the vindication of which he h:is not hesitated to risk his life, are nothing more nor less than those held by the Statesmen of all parties in the country, up to a few years ago. About 9 o'clock, the hour Mr. Clay was expected to arrive, the streets were literally alive with people, among whom might be noticed an unusually large number of venerable gray-haired men, the greater portion of whom were old Whigs, who, since the disruption of their great old party, have paid little attention to political affairs. But the talismanic name of Clay aroused them from their political lethargy, and they came from their homes and their business to judge tor themselves how far the principles he advocated differed from his illustrious namesake's. They had herd Democratic politicians time and again denounce Cassics M. Clay' as "the Kentucky Abolitionist.'' But they had heard the same unscrupulous par- i tisans, or their predecessors in the same school, denounce the immortal and incorruptible Statesman of Kentucky as a man u n-tit to live, the impersonation of corruption and venality; they had seen them hunt him to his death like beasts of prey ; and before the chill damps of the tomb had settled upon his brow, they heard his murderers prate of his statesmanship and integrity. It is not much wonder that they had little faith in the testimony of such witness- i es as to Cassils M. Clay's abolitionism. They came to hear him themselves; to hear from his own lips a statement of the prin- I

ciples which governed him. About 10 o'clock, Mr. Clay arrived, the carriage in which he was seated being pre ceded by the New Harmony band, and about 500 citizens bearing flags, banners, i &c, who went out at an early hour to meet him and escort him into town On arriving at the Neal House, the procession halted procession halted, aim me mumiuue, who irom an early Hour

iu the morning had patiently awaited Mr. ; ttnce w;th tue earnest decree of the ArapaCi.ay scorning, now eagerly crowded around iloe3 and Cheyennes they will be secured in

ins eariiKe go a ijiiitipse or me guiea i orator Aiier some uiutcuuy me marsnais : ot the Uay succeeded in clearing a lane through the people, through which Mr. Clay was enabled to pass into the hotel. The Mount Vernon band was stationed around the door of the hotel, and 83 Mr. Clay passed in, played an enlivening air. The strains of the music were however completely drowned by the cheering and huzzaing of the people. A stand had been erected in a grove immediately opposite Mr. Owen's residence, and seats placed around, that the managers no doubt thought fully capable of accommodating the numbers who would attend ; but ii: this they were pleasurably deceived, for so far did the crowd exceed their expectations, that not more than a third of those present had seats, though numbers of them found sitting room ou tbe trees, and on the roofs of the surrounding buildipgs. At a few minutes past 10 o'clock Mr. Clay tiok his place on the stand, and was introduced to the audience. He commenced his remarks by stating that he was the citizen of a neighboring State, who left his home, his family, and his business, to nddress the citizens of Indiana on the political topics that at the present time agitate the country, without pay or reward. He had no doubt there were many who would take the grouud that ho had no right to do so ; that he should leave the people of Indiana to regulate their political affairs in their own way. To such the speaker would say that did he not believe that the same interests bound the people of his native State and Indiana together, and not only those States, but the whole Union, he would not be found addressing them. Tllis confederacy of ours is one vast whole, and there is no great governmental policy that can be detrimental to one part or section of it that does not effect the prosperity of it all. Mr. Clay then alluded at some length to the charges of Abolitionism so persistently made by Democratic newspapers and politicians in regard to himself and other members of the Republican party, conclusively showing that himself and the recognized Republican party, iustead of being Abolitionists, stood upon the true non-intervention ground non-intervention with slavery in the States in which it at present exists, and in opposition to its further extension, and in opposition to h11 " higher law " doctrine, which would, regardless of consequences, plunge the country in anarchy. Mr. Clay next alluded to the " amalgamation cry " of the Democracy, and disposed rather pithily of it by simply remarking that in the State of Virginia the last census returns show that there were 00,000 mulattoea, though up to that time Republicanism or the Republican party were unknown. Mr. Clayavowed his abhorrence of the mixing of the races, and stated that to be one of the great reasons for his opposition to Slavery. He said, as a farmer, he was in favor of pure stock, and he was also in favor of the white man marrying a white wife, but that he was opposed to the white man owning the black man's wife in addition to ids own white one. Mr. Clay next proceeded to review the slavery question, the policy of the fathers regarding the institution nnd their hope of its gradual abolition. I have Lot time however, nor you space, to follow the speaker lurther in his remarks. From the commencement to the close he was listened to with the most profound attention, and was frequently greeted with loud aud hearty applause. Ou the conclusion of his remarks the large audience quietly dispersed, andjnany of them, no doubt, with their ideas o Republicanism and Abolitionism materially altered, as the record of Republican votes will show next November. VeritaI. BcrrALO, July 23. The annual festival of the North American Saengerbund commenced here to-day. Musical societies have already arrived from New York, Philadelphia, Syracuse aud other Eastern and Western cities. Some 25 societies are expected to be in attendance. Visitors to-day were received at the depot by the Buffalo societies aud escorted with bands of music through gaily decorated streets to the place of meeting. The Buffalo societies this evening gave a reception concert at St. James Hall, which was well attended and well appreciated. To-morrow night all the societies present will join in a mammoth concert at the New i ork Central Railroad Depot. The building will comfortably seat 10,000 persons, and it is thought many more will be in attendance. This week is to be spent in festivities. " Julius, was you ever in busiuess ? " " In course I was." " What business ? " "A sugar planter ! " Where was that, my colored friend ?" " De day I buried dat old sweet heart of mine."

Washington, July 20, if. It i3 asserted by those who have made inquiry, that the secret organization which existed lately out of fears of bloodshed in the Cherokee country is, to say the least, political, and similar to what was commonly known in the States as the Know Nothing party and is confined to Indians. Our Government has been watching with some interest the movements in that nation, particularly those growing out of the agitation of the slavery question, as any outbreak iu the Convention might involve the whites in that country in the consequences. Danger is now apprehended and the U. S. Indian Agent having, by this time, reached the Cherokee Reservation, will take im- j mediate measures for the expulsion of the white intruders. Judge Greenwood, the Commissioner of; Indian affairs, will leave Washington in the course of a few days for the Pike's Peak country. In 1857 a treaty or arrangement was made with the Arapahoes and Cheyennes ; which, while it fixed the limits within which i these Indians might hunt, did not acknowledge their title to the land, but owing to j the extension of the white population they ' have been seriously curtailed in their gupplies from the chase. In view of this and the fact that they are i friendly Indians, Congress at its last session appropriated $35,000 for presents and to I i defray the expenses of holding a council ' with them, regarding their future welfare. The Commissioners former visits among various tribes of Indians hnvincr been nro- 1 , ductive of highly beneficial results it is be- ! ! neved that the one now contemplated will ' have a favorable effert and that, in nrenrri tue possession of permanent homes and indllccJ to change their present mode of obtaining a precarious subsistence. ---<>--- ST, JOSEPH, July 26, P. M.—The Pony Express with San Francisco advices to the 11th, arrived here at noon to-day. Politicians in Callifornia were almost frantic for intelligence from the Baltimore Convention, having received news up to the time of organization, but nothing later. An agent of the Pony Express accompanied the last Messenger Eastward from Carson Valley, with stock to refit the Stations, and put the route in order as far as Salt Lake. A great many emigrants were arriving at Carson Valley and Salt Lake. The 4th of July was celebrated at Fort Townsend, Oregon, by a grand regatta and fire works in the evening. The Puget Sound Indians were waging a murderous war against the Coast Indians. The steamer <Candinneark> sailed for Honolulu on May 25th. ---<>--- NEW YORK, July 20, M. The <Times> has information from a person in the confidence of Gen'l Walker, who states that the real destination of the fillibuster chief is Nicaragua which he proposes to reach by crossing Honduras to the Pacific. He has already issued a proclamation announcing peaceful, policy, amnesty for past otfenses.&c. The Douglas New Jersey Convention adopted resolutions strongly in favor of Douglas and Johnson, and in reprobation of the proscriptive policy of the present administration, also condemning the personal interference of the President in the choice of his successor and adjourned sine die. The Breckinridge Convention adopted a resolution recommending a union of all parties opposed to Lincoln and Hamlin, the whole electoral vote to ;e cast for either of such candidates whom it will elect. The following electoral ticket was reported : For Senatorial Electors, Edwin A. Stevens, and Peter B. Brown. For District Electors, John R. Sickles, Chas. V. McChesnev, Peter J. Clark, Benj. Williams', Wm. McDonald. This report was adopted unanimously. The Convention adjourned sine die. The Bell-Everett Convention nominated the following Electoral ticket : Chas. McChesney, Edmond Brewer, John F. Ward, Peter D. Clark, Cornelius Boyce, and John V. Dean, and adjourned sine die. The ticket nominated by the Breckinridge Convention consists of two Douglas, two Breckinridge, and one Bell and Everett man. Bosto:., July 2G. The Democratic State Central Committee at Worcester, yesterday, voted to call a State Convention at Springfield on the 6th of September. A resolution endorsing Breckinridge and Lane was defeated by a tie vote. St. Louis, July 20. About thirty notorious houses of ill-tVtme, dance houses, groggeries, &c, in the southern part of the city were riddled by a mob last night. All the furniture and effects were burned in tbe streets. The loss is estimated at $30,000. IlARRlsiiURGH, Pa., July 20. The Douglas State Convention meets this P. If A great crowd of politicians is here. Opinions are divided about the policj- of nominating a straight out Douglas electoral ticket, and also as to the policy of the State Convention. Washington, July 20. Treaty of amity and commerce with Japan, ratifications of which were exchanged by Embassy when they were in Washington, is officially published. One of the articles provided that the President when requested by the Japanese Government, will act as friendly mediator iu such matters of difference, as may arise between the Government of Japan and any European power.

Our Progress. A large amount of House Building is going ou here this summer. In our walks . abuut town, as we turn our eyes in every direction, new houses, just finished, others in progress, fresh excavations for cellars, piles of building materials, etc., are to be seen dotting the squares and out-lots of our growing City. There is more building this year,it is supposed, than in any previous year as much doubtless as in any City in Indiana. No other place in the State is growing so rapidly and so healthily. There is a solid foundation for the prosperity of Evansville. Most other cities and towns will fall far under the population generally claimed for them, when the census returns are made. Evansville, we believe, will show nearly as large a population as generally is claimed for her by careful guessers. The growth of the place ought to be made known to the world in a reliable form. To this end we propose to give a statement, after the close of the building season, of the number of dwellings,business houses, churches, and other improvements of the kind made, specifying the location, cost, dimensions, number of rooms, owners, builders, materials used, style, and any other items of j

information which the proprietors see fit to allow us to publish for the general good. We want to commence gathering our data immediately, as the job will be a large one and we shall be under obligations to architects, builders, mechanics, proprietors or others who will furnish us facts and figures as fast as buildings are completed. Items can be dropped in the Post Office, left at this office, or handed to the editors; but we would prefer to have persons call at the office, as information by questions may be elicited that will be valuable. Disorder. At Cassius M. Clay's meeting on Wednesday night there was considerable disorder raised by boys and enraged Douglasites on the outskirts of the crowd. The speaker was ir quently interrupted. At one time an attempt was made to raise an alarm of fire. Mr. Clay remarked that he never attempted to make a speech but there was an alarm of fire. He was compelled to stop speaking several times for the Douglasites to become quiet. Common courtesy aud respect for the ladies present should have restrained these disturbers from interrupting a stranger. We are satisfied that the mass of community and the majority of the Democrats, will frown upon any such attempts to restrain free speech. There will be a great deal of open-air speaking this summer, and all parties should unite in a common endeavor to have peace aud attention to the exercises at these meetings. It is to the interest of all parlies that this should be so. We especially exhort Republicans to preserve a perfectly respectful demeanor at meetings of other parties which they may attend. Commit no act of disrespect toward your opponents which may serve as an excuse for disorder at Republican meetings. Keceipta by Railroad. July 26th, I860. 3 jars, 1 can lard.
