EVANS.VSi.i-E, IND. WEPXtSDAT MOKXINfi JANUARY 2 The AVTorlttugmen' Meeting. The Cincinnati Enquirer of a late date copies the resolutions adopted by the Workingmen of this city on the evening of the 12th, and makes the following remarks in connection therewith: Thi Evansviile Journal, a Black Republican print, is not at all pleased with the spirit of these resolutions, as might have been anticipated. They are entirely too conciliatory for its ferocious and bloodthirsty editor. The Journal furthermore says that this meeting " was managed by a set of political wire-workers, operating behind the scenes, through honest and unsuspecting men, who started out to do right, and intended nothing but what was right all the way through, but unfortunately allowed political demagogues to meddle where they had no business.-' Now, the truth of the matter is, as we are assured by a reliable correspondent, that the movement was actually initiated bv two vo ell-meaning Republicans J .... f . a L. who explained their object to a iew oiucr workingraen, of both Bell and Douzlaspolitics, and indared them to join in the demonstration. These formed themselves into a committee of arrangements and carried the affnir into execution without any outBide or caucus intervention whatever. We deem this explanation due to the bone and sinew of Evansville, who have been shamefully misrepresented by a local paper. The "reliable correspondent" of the Enquirer Is doubtless one of the individuals who made himself so busy in caucu9 tha nicrht previous to the meeting, and of course is very reliable in telling own story. No matter what the his Ennnirer and its correspondent may say . I ' it is susceptible of proof, that one of the principal actors in the effort to mould the sentiments of the meeting according to the notions of the Court House managers, when charged with being privy to a caucus to get up resolutions for the meeting, rejoined by saying he guessed there was more than one caucus-thus admitting that there teas a caucus of Democrats and pro-slavery Bell men. The charge that the Republicans intended to interfere, and had held a caucus to prepare for doing so, was of course not true ; but the charge was made, nevertheless, and used to justify the Democratic and Bell caucus which had so much to do in an underhanded manner to mould the proceedings of the meeting. The authoritative style in which the Cincinnati Douglas organ contradicts the " misrepresentations ? of a "local paper," on the authority of a letter from an interested partizan, is ridiculous. As if the " local paper," with all its sources of information, were not in a better position to tell a correct story than a paper a long distance off. In this connection we notice a communication of Mr. G. W. McBride of this city to the Louisville Jonrnal, accompanying the proceedings of the meeting sent for insertion in the Journal. T'e omit the prelimi nary rf.mn.rks of Mr. McBride for want of j room, but give the latter half of the com munication : There seems to me to be bat one class of men oDDOsed to the settlement of this cues tion: namelv. the Republican members of Congress.who are now without a party , in their respective districts. Surely the Republican party should be the last party to oppose the restoration of the Missouri compromise. The Journal of our city only a few days ago told its readers that the destruction of that sacred compact was the cause of the organization known as the Republican party. We all know that the restoration of the Missouri compromise was the rallying cry of the Republican party for several years after its demolition. Now, when all parties are ready and willing to restore that compact with tenfold peeurity agaiDSt its destruction by incorporating it in the Constitution itself, the leaders of this party persistently refuse to vote for its restoration, they knowing ns they must do that it i3 the only means that will restore peace and tranquility to our distracted country. The Journal, of our city, also bitterly complains that no resolutions were passed condemning the South none asking the Government to enforce the laws at all hazards none calling upon the Government to support Major Anderson in his perilous situation. Now the Jonrnal and his party can do all this without the shedding of one drop of innocent blood, and dow he and his pat ty have it in their power to avert the calamities incident to a civil war by simply following the admonition of Senator Crittenden, in his ppeech of the 7th inst., in which he says that the establishment of a line dividing the territories was not so much a compromise as a fair adjustment of the riphts of the States. He asked iT statesmen and Senators had rather encounter civil war, with all its horrors, than make a fair compromise and recognize theexistence of slavery in a territory till it becomes a State? Mr. Crittendsn told the Republican Senators in that speech that his compromise would put an end to all revolution. Lei Cngraoo f!rt maUo a fair adjustment of this question, giving to each and every section of our common country its full guarantees under the Constitution, and not till then let us talk about coercion and civil war. The workingraen everywhere must rise up in their might and demand of their Bervants a settlement of the question upon just and honorable terms alike to all sections of our country. Mr. McBride proceeds to make his argument upon the assumption that the Crittenden Proposition ia identical with the Missouri Compromise. Such was the iaipre3siou when the first intelligence of the proposition was sent over the country, but the of ficial publication showed that there was a radical difference in the two measures. While the Miss uri Compromise declared that all territories north of 36 30' (the southern boundary of Missouri) should be free, nothing was said about slavery in the territory south of that line, leaving it to be inferred that it might exist. It was left open for the future inhabitants and future Congresses to decide. The Crittenden Proposition provides as follows : In all the territories now or hereafter acquired North of latitude 30 30' slavery or involuntary servitude, except for the punishment of crime, in prohibited; while in all the Territory South of that, slavery 13 hereby recognized a3 existing, and shall not be interfered with by Congress, but shall be protected n3 property by all departments of the Territorial Government during its

=======

a population necessary ior a memwr ui Congress, with a republican form of Government, shall be admitted into the Cniou on au equality with the original States, with or without slavery, as the Constitution of the State shall prescribe. Mark the Missouri Compromise forever prohibited slavery north of 36 30': the Crittenden Proposition says slavery may exist in a certain - event. The Missouri measure gives freedom .. an equal chance with slavery south of 36 30': the Crittenden measure says, 4 slavery is hereby recognized as existing, and shall not be interfered with by Congress, but shall be protected as property by all departments of the territorial government during its continuance." The Missouri measure was a Congressional measure, subject to repeal : the Crittenden measure proposes to ingraft slavery into the Constitution (where our fathers refused to name it) and to make it obligatory that it be protected. And worse than all, j it is stated on good authority that the words "hereafter acquired" as relates to territory north of 36 30' is intended to apply likewise to territory south of that line. So under the Crittenden Compromise we should not only have slavery fastened irrevocably on New Mexico and the Indian territory, but also on all territory south of 36 30' hereafter acquired. These are som e of the radical differences between the two plana of settlement ; there are other objections to Mr. Crittenden's plan but we have not time now to mention them. With what grace, then, can Mr. McBride and his friends say that the Republicans are unwilling to accept the Missouri Com promise line as a basis of settlement ? They certainly do not know what they are talkin? about, or mean to deceive the people vlf the Missouri Compromise measure pure and simple be offered to the Republicans, we believe they will accept it. If they supposed it would be accepted by the South we believe they would offer it. The trouble is, the Secessionists don't want to be satisfied. They will not compromise.. Mr. McBride's assertions that the Republican Congressmen will not accede to any offer of compromise is unfounded. They are doing all that men can do to make an amicable arrangement of sectional differences. The most prominent men of the party in the House and Senate are making superhuman exertions to put a stop to this sectional strife. Messr3. Seward, Cameron, Sherman, Corwin, Adams, Dunn many more than we have space to mention, have been doing all in their power to compromise the present difficulties. Their offers have been rejected by the mass of Southern Senators and Representatives. They are still disposed to conciliate and pacify the South, and if it is possible short of self-abasement, they will yet do it. B-We publish on the first page, for future reference, the official statement of vote cast for Congressmen in October in the various districts. The table is taken from the Indianapolis Journal and Sentinel of a late date. ESa?"Botb branches of the Legislature adjourned over Saturday. Therefore we have no proceedings to give thi3 morning.

I have no hesitation in fws'mg that those interests were never in a sounder condition than ct the present time. Tbe people of d j State in the Union are, financially, in a bet-

ter condition to meet the political crisis, that now seems inevitable, than th people of -Indiana. In whatever trials may be before us, the Bank of the State will do its whole duty in sustaininar the high financial credit of the State. The pledge we have made to furnish the people of Indiana with a bank note circulation "always convertible into coin at the pleasure of the holders," will under all circumstances be faithfully fulfilled.
