THURSDAY MOUSING..... JAXTJARY 24 The .Misrepresentations of Northern Tory. Iu this issue of the Daily Journal till be found an article contributed to the Memphis Appeal of January 4tb, by a " Northern man with Southern principles," formerly a resident of this city. The writer of the communication recently paid a visit to Evansville and Cannelton, where he endeavored to inculcate his treasonable doctrines in the minds of the people. At the latter place he is said to have been very active in the so-called Union meeting, in which was passed the notable resolution declaring that in case of disunion, Perry county demanded that the line of demarcation between the two sections should run north of her, instead of along the Ohio river. In this city the individual in question was not very successful in the propagation of his treasonable doctrines ; and if report 6peaks truly, he left our loyal and Union-loving city with a flea of huge proportions in his ear. Smarting under a sense of the indignant replies he is said to have received to some of his toryish remarks, when he reached Memphis, he could not rest until, in that secure asylum, he should pour out on the heads of the Republicans of Southern Indiana the vial3 of his impotent wrath. The result of his brooding malice is before the reader, and a delightful specimen of fairness, courtesy, and veracity toward his former fellow-citizen3 and patrons is the tirade we copy ! Some of the Germans, tor whom the Memphis writer used to manifest a friendship, will be particularly struck with the loving kindness he exhibits toward them. - Now let us consider the beauties of the article from the Appeal in detail. With what sang-froid and unconcern ia the phrase n future republics " used. The writer ia a great stickler for concession and compromise. Yet he does not seem even to entertain an idea to that end. We are to have " future republics " mora than one, you see. It is a fixed fact. The Appeal writer - knows he is in the secrets of the Seces sionists. He is aware that they laugh at the idea of mutual'concession and compromise and want nothing of the kind nothing "but dissolution. What a delightful state of Arcadian felicity exists along the River. Why the peopleon each side actually keep up a " commercial and friendly intercourse !"' To the mind of our tory writer this i3 proot positive that the people on this side love slavery and nig"ger3 and want to enjoy the " blessings " o the institution. The idea does not seem to enter his head that while the people of the free States have no dislike to their brethren of the slave States that while on the contrary they esteem them highly as friends, relatives, fellow-countrymen they detest their institution of slavery, not on account of any love for the negro, but because of the degradation and poverty it inflicts on free white labor. Our people enjoy highly the friendly intercourse they have with their friends and neighbors across the River, but ' they do not like slavery ; and while they nx uui - ir - - . .tivux, v lit . our free territories that are not already Cursed with it, they hn.ua no dctira, no intention to interfere in the least with it in the places where it exists by the force of local law. And further, they acknowledge the Constitutional obligation that rtquirca fugitive slaves to be given up on proper demand. Because they like tbe Southern people, and enjoy friendly intercourse with them, it by no means follows that they worship slavery and desire to place themselves under its influence. They want nothing to do with it. Let those who have it enjoy it in their own waj. We are a thousand-fold better off without it. The States which possess it are welcome to all its boasted advantages. Indiana is all free soil and will remain so forever, notwithstanding the efforts of the Slave Propaganda and their tory sympathizers here at home to reduce ber Southern section to slavery. The Appeal writer'3 talk about making the dividing line along the National Road " in case of dissolution and even the same remark applied to the Ohio and Mississippi R. R. line i3 the height of delusion or depth of deception. Such an opinion is titter folly. The person who utters it doe3 not even understand the sentiment of the people of the River counties, much less of the counties north to the National Road. He slanders the people of Southern Indiana grossly when he talks thus. In effect he accuses them of being devoid of principlej or so idiotic as to be unaware of their own best interests. A proposition to separate from the balance of the State, and attach themselves to a slave confederacy, if made in earnest, would be scouted from the public mind and its authors overwhelmed with infamy.' Our 'tory writer discourses learnedly about the " right of revolution," and says it is a3 inalienable in a State as it 13 in the Confederation. If his logic should be carried out, what would become of law and order. Why my lawless individual in community could, by the same reasoning, violate his duty to society and the laws with impunity, and there would be no power to punish him for crime. There mu3t be a restraining power somewhere, or " chaos has come again,'' and there is no security against anarchy. Such reasoning aa our tory writer employs does not sound well, coming as it does horn one who mouthed loudly during the late campaign about " the Constitution, tbe Union, and the Enforcement of the Laws." What did he mean by that term ? Did he mean what - he said, or was the term a mere " glittering generality" of no practical use, except to inveigle the unthinking into a general cru

sade against the party advocating tbe principles of the fathers of th Republic ? We call on this gentleman we are quoting and all his Bell and Douglas friends to live up to their professions. All that is now neces" sary to restore public prosperity is to act on that sentiment "the Union, the Constitution, and the Enforcement of the Laws." The comraeuts on the present beautiful Democratic militia system, in which the organization is altogether in the hands of the enemies of the North and her institutions, are refreshing. The consolation he bestows on our model militia that they can not be divested of their constitutional privilege to bear arms will prove about as soothing to them when a new militia system is adopted by the Legislature, and they lose their commissions obtained in such a hurry and by such questionable means, as the consolation given by Job's comforters to that afflicted worthy. ,The expression " fanatical and murderous hordes of Black-Republicanism" is a very fair one to be used against thousands of peaceful and high-minded citizens. It is worthy the source from which it emanated; entirely so. . Its author is a great stickler

for etiquette and fair dealing in newspaper controversy. - He has a singular way of carrying out his theories in this respect. Our writer remarks that the offer of the Vanderburgh militia officers, to go to Kentucky and help to suppress insnrrections and repel invasion, has not been replied to by Gov. Magoffin. We imagine it will not be. Benedict Arnold, after the betrayal of the American cause, and after the war, went to settle in England, and was distrusted and despised for hi3 treachery to his country contemned by the very people he sacrificed his manhood and his honor to serve. We presume that Gov. Magoffin high-minded Kentuckian as he is also distrusts the fidelity and spurns the services of men who will deliberately propose to act the traitor to their own people and State. " Their af fections are as dark as Erebus. Let no such men be trusted." hat biting sarcasm is sought to be embodied in the words our tory quotes " Free North." Yes, indeed : too free for the comfort of a man sold to cotton, lucre slavery, spurious Democracy, secession, and treason. Thank God I the North is too free for such men. It is not a kealthy place for traitors. f "The first fight upon the borders will be within the confines of the free States.' There will be no "fight," It will be the mere hanging of traitors, in the regular ex ecution of the laws of the land. " Tbe masses of native American citizens everywhere along the river are loyal to the constitutional riirhts of the South." This is true, and if the testimony of a " Black Republican " paper will pass current in the South, we can testify in addition that all citizens along the river, native and natural ized, are loyal to the constitutional rights of the South. Tbe idea that any Republican would la bor earnestly to restore to power the rotten corrupt, and defunct Democratic party, is absurd. Also the assertion that Republi cans are sorry for voting according to the dictAtgfl- thftig jAnamaniifl V 6 hftVO not met one yet who would not do as he did through the recent contest, a thousand times, if necessary to prove his attachment to the cause of free labor. The Memphis writer alludes to English citizens in such a way as. would lead tbe reader to suppose that they were sympathiz ers with slavery. Far from it. The tory writer might as well undeceive himself at once on that eeore. " No slave Can breathe the air of England. The moment his foo touches her soil, his shackles fall off.'? Ou English fellow-citizens (of whom there are maoy in this part of the country) were ed ucated to take this noble ntterance of Chief Justice Mansfield this axiom in British jurisprudence as next to the Gospel itself. Are they going to stultify themselves and disgrace their native land ? No. We know of more than one English citizen who were not disposed to favor tbe Republican cause before the election, but who now would readily vote for Lincoln if the election were to be held again. Our tory makes a venomous attack on Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina " renegades " as he ,- terms them. These persons saw and felt the evil3 of the servile system in their home in the Slave States. They left the old homestead and the friends of their youth in order to remove themselves from the blighting influence of this unfortunate system. Once free from it, they are of course opposed to again living under it, and will always oppose auy effort to spread the evil. The most determined Republicans are from the slave States. Sad experience is their guide in their conduct. When our writer, in his phillipic, comes to speak of " the Dutch hordes " and " Hessians,", as he denomi natea tbe German Republicans, all hi3 ill-will seems to flow ou1 in a bitterstream. The innate Know Nothingism of his character and, associations here "crops out", with its huge hulk, demonstrating the presence beneath Ihe surface of bountiful stores of proscription and intolerance. Here he is at home, and revels in a sea of malignity. Of one thing we are sure : the straight-Sorward, undisguised German character that hates deception, fully reciprocates his opinioi of persons of that nationality, by estimating him at bia true stamp, superscription, and value. Between the two parties there is no love lost. Our political essayist closes bis tirade by some consideration of the question of political economy, and by indulging in . his penchant for figuring np profit and loss. To his cold and calculating temper, 'f the almighty dollar " is put in the scale against the integrity of tbe Union, the peace of the country, and the welfare of mankind in all time to come. " Tbe South has done wonderful things. It has made

the North all it is. Without the South tbe North would not now eiht. Born and raised in the North-east, our tory writer iu- ( stinctively turns against his own section, ignores the enterprise of New England, New !

York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, which ( has made this Western wilderness to bios- ' soul as tbe rose, ami attributes all the prosperity of the North to the help or the South. With all his skill in the science of accounts, he doesn't seem to know that it was just aa much to tbe interest of tbe South to sell the North her sugar, molasses, rice, tobacco, cotton, and other peculiar staples, and to buy of the latter her provisions, as it was of the North to buy the former and sell the latter. The favor is as much on one side as on the other exactlv. If the South has helped to build up the North-west, tb latter has helped to build Southern cities and to give value to Southern lands and productions. Where would New Orleans, Natchez, Vicksburg (where "passing steam- . boats are now hailed and questioned "), and j Memphis be were it not for tbe North-west? j How would our sapient writer live as a ! commission merchant in Memphis were it not for North-western business ? So we see there are favors and benefits all around. The dependence is mutual. The South ought to be as grateful to the North-west as the North-west to the South. We might go on and comment on tbe fal lacies, absurdities, and imyertinences of the Memphis writer to a much greater extent. but must close. Religious. A very interesting and pow erful revival of religion is now in progress in both the Locust and Ingle street Methodist Churches. In the former, in particular, the work seems to be going on with a solemnity and power hitherto unknown in this community. Many of the most substantial of our business men and mechanics daily crowd around the altar, inquiring the way of salvation, and numbers have made a profession of religion. Yesterday morning, notwithstanding the disasrreeableness of the weather, a large audience assembled and was singularly affected by the exercises. Strong men were ssen to shed tears like children, and throughout the entire congre gation, a solemn stillness prevailed, like un to that in which the "still small voice" spoke to Elijah. The meetings will be con tinued both in the morning and evening at Locust street church, and in the evening alone at the Ingle street church. Bank of the State of Indiana. Iu yesterday morning's Daily we published a very satisfactory and gratifying report of the above Bank, but some accompanying remarks from the Indiana State Sentinel were omitted, which ought to have gone with tbe publication of the Report. In order that the public may compare the flattering remarks of the Sentiuel with the Bank statement, we to-day copy both together. The publication of this most gratifying exhibit of the condition of the great moneyed institution of our State, iu the3e times of general distrust and general distress, will do much to render the public confident in the assurance that the vast business interests of our state, as represented in most part by this Rank, are in a sound and healthv wdition, and that, let what will come, the people of Indiana are strong in resources and independent in means. The assurances of the President of the Bank, as given in the accompanying statement, coming as they do from an eminent financier, and one who is in a position to know whereof he affirms, will allay much of that nervousness that exists in business circles and tends to aggravate the evils of the times. Fcgitivb Slate Casi. A colored woman, nampd Lucy, claimed as a fugitive slave from Wheeling, Va., was arrested in Cleveland on the 19th. She admitted that she belonged to the claimant. She was at first in custody of the Sheriff, but was dis. charged therefrom by a writ of habeas corpus, and immediately taken in custody by the U. S. Marshal and removed to the U. S. Court, where the examination was going on at last accounts. On her way to the IT. S. Court an unsuccessful attempt was made to rescue her. EThe proceedings of the Union meeting at Princeton will be found in to-day's paper. They talk about right. A similar meeting bus been held at Terre Haute with similar results. Union meetings in the North are how generally expressing sentiments that will stand the test of criticism. S3?We acknowledge the receipt, from our Representative in the Legislature, Mr. Hopkins, of a copy of the Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal for the year 1859," and of the " Geological Reconnoissance of the Stale of Indiana, made in the year 1837, in conformity to au order of the Legislature ; by D. D. Owen, M. D., State Geologist," The Vicksburg Blockade. The Louisville Journal of the 21st contains the following confirmation of tbe infamous attempt of the Algeriues of Vicksburg to levy contributions on the commerce of the Mississippi: We yesterday saw a highly respectable Kentuckian, a warm Secessionist, direct from Vicksburg. We learn from him that it is a fact that a battery was planted on the shore of the Mississippi at Vicksburg so as to command tbe river. He says that a good many boats, passing down, v. ere brought to, especially in the nighf, the object being to get possessaion of the Silver Wave, upon which it was said that the United States ordnance was to be transports 1 to the South. A shot was fired across the bow of one boat and then the cannon was aimed directly at her, but it flashed without going off, and the boat rounded to. Three of the military companies of Mississippi were in. charge of the battery, and thuy withdrew it from the shore on Tuesday last and seized the United States Hospital, which they are now occupying. They are do doubt resolved to seize upon all the United Stales property that they can lay their hands on.
