THE EVANSVILLE DAILY JOURNAL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1866.

CORRESPONDENCE. Princeton, Ind., Sept. 26. '66. Editors Journal : The sun shines once more, and the dark, wet days of humid September begin to assume a more life-like aspect. t3 Notwithstanding the rains and mud the great political battle, has been going on. Even Democracy, that disciple of mean whisky, that unwashed anamoly, has been able to bear up under the rains, and retains all its impurities and filth despite the copious ablutions all things earthly have lately received from the fountains above. You know that Voorhees, the mighty, the man who always voted for the last dollar and the last man to prosecute "an unholy war," has been among us, preaching the wild vagaries of Democracy, and testifying of that which nobody knows, and none but Copperhead Democrats will believe. And when Daniel came, the Almighty opened the hollow of His hand and poured out upon the polluted earth such rains as we dreamed not of. The rain, however, did not cease with the ministrations of Daniel, but continued for several days, and interfered, to some extent, with our

meetings, v erny, uoa is not a respecter of persons. " Many of our people went to your city to attend the grand demonstration in honor of Governor Morton, and they report that, notwithstanding the bad weather, the people of Evansvilie did splendid work. It seems that water has no effect upon your citizens, and that in a good ,t, cause they will succeed in spite of the bowlings of Copperheads or the inclemency of the elements. The cam- ' paign is going on lively in our county, and we will beat the bogus Democracy. Whenever the Butterheads get any advantage in any part of this f moral heritage," some fellow, like Moreau, comes along and makes a Mosaic speech, or a few copies of an obscure publication, emanating from your city, and known as the Cottrier, make their debut, and, by their filth, profanity, and idiocy, knock all the Democratic gains into pi! Moses, in his wanderings, did not come to comfort the De

mocracy ot our county. .No stars were deposited nor States distributed .in Gibson, and the Democracy is utterly inconsolable. They do not appear to lie in the circumference of that grand circle, around which "His Accideacy" has been swinging. But, while Andy was "swinging," tha Spirit of Freedom met him in the country of the Northwest, which is by the great seas of the North. The Spirit met Moses, who had an unclean spirit, coming out from among the tombs, (viz. : the tomb of Douglas.) And Moses had his dwelling among tombs and where they "swing around circles," and no man could bind him, no, not even Grant. And always, night and day, he was sorely' vexed with devils, "swinging circles" crying out, me, my, I, Aldermait, humble individual, and continually flung stars, and States, and Constitutions at the people. But when he saw the Spirit of Freedom he cried out, with a loud voice: "What have I to do with thee, Spirit of Freedom thou child of Washington; art thou come to torment us before our time?" For the Spirit of Freedom had said unto the unclean spirit, "Come out of him." And Freedom asked him, what is thy name? And he answered saying, My name is ' my policy,' for we are great." And the unclean spirit asked that he might not be sent away into the great deep. Now there was, nigh that place, a great herd of many Democrats, feeding upon the barren rocks of secession. And all the devils besought that they might be sent into this great herd of Democrats. And forthwith the spirit of Freedom gave them leave, and all the unclean spirits went out and entered into the Democrats, and the herd ran violently down a steep place called Election, and were all choked in the Sea of Defeat. But alas! Moses is not "clothed and in his right mind " yet. But " My Policy," took unto itself seven other devils and came unto him, and " the last state of that man is worse than the first" ? From the New York Tim The Constitutional Amendment. There is not the slightest difference of opinion, so-far as we are aware, in the Union Party, and .very little anywhere else, as to the wisdom hf untie ing the Constitutional' Amendment! proposed m Congress. It received every Unicft vote in the House, and is sustained by every Union journal throughout the country. The only

point u; on which differences do prevail m rsw to the policy of making its adoptif u a condition precedent to the admits on of representatives from the Soutlu rn States. Upon this, Union members of Congress were not agreed among' hemselves. Some wore opposed to admitting them until after the amendment should have become part of the fundamental law, b$ the ratitiwition of three-fourths of all the States. Others, like Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, insisted that whenever any Southern State should ratify the amendment, that State should thereupon be admitted to reprsentation. Others, like 31r. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, refused to pledge Congress to admit them even after the amendment

should be adopted, and others still did not deem it within the constitutional power of Congress to impose its adoption as a condition of admission to the fundamental right of representation. In point of fact, the adoption or rejection of the amendment has nothing whatever to do, as the law now stands, with the admission or rejection of members from the Southern States. A bill providing for their admission on condition of its adoption, was rejected by the House, and even if every Southern State should, ratify the amendment to-morrow, Congress has not pledged itself in any way thereupon to admit their representatives in Congress. The two questions are entirely separate and distinct, and each must be determined upon its own merits. The objects sought to be attained by this amendment are important and desirable. The first, which clothes with the equal civil rights belonging to citizenship all the native born in habitants ot the United States, commends itself to every man's sense of justice and of public policy. It was the worst feature of slavery that it kept a large class of persons outside the protection of the law; and now that slavery has been swept away, there is no shadow of excuse for perpetuating this worst of all its wrongs. We trust the Southern States will make speedy provision for extending the full protection of the law over their enfranchised slaves, in common with all their people ; but aside from this there are many reasons of justice and propriety why the National Constitution shonld make this guarantee universal and perpetual. The second clause of the amendment is designed to remedy an inequality which now exists in the enjoyment of political power. It was decided by the framers of the Constitution that population and not voters should constitute the basis of Representation, and this ceases to be the wisest rule only when large masses of the population are excluded from suffrage in some sections of the countrv and not in others. Then it becomes an element of inequality and injustice. A voter in the one section has double the political power of a voter in the other. This inequality exists to-day between the Northern and. Southern States, and it ought to be corrected- This would be true if the question had never had anything whatever to do with the rebellion or if the inequality were in favor of the, North instead of the South. Every man can sec that it is unjust, and the Southern States ought to see it as well as the Northern; And as no section is to be benefitted in the lotig run by any inequality or any injustice, th e South as well as the North ought to ratify this amendment. It involves, it is true, a temporary surrender of a portion of the political power now enjoyed under the Constitution; but that surrender would be more than compensated by removing an injustice which, so long as it exists, must be the fruitful source of sectional discontent and uational discord. The third clause of this amendment declares certain classes of Dersons who took a responsible Dart in the rebel lion ineligible to office until relieved therefrom by two-thirds of Congress. While the power of Congress to participate in the exercise of the pardoning power, or to prescribe qualifications for local office in the several States,! may he open to doubt, none can rest unon the substantial iustite of this provision, so far as Federal -is i , , omce is eoncernea. men wno nave waged war upon the Government cannot complain of any wrong in being excluded for a time from personally sharing its authority and power. And the time when they may thus be readmitted is within the wise discretion of the Government itself. This is a wholly different question from that of admitting fetat.es to representation, as it touches only the question of the character and qualifications of the persous by whom those States may be represented; and in this respect the amendment is not unduly harsh or severe. As it originally passed the House this clause excluded everybody who had taken any part in the rebellion or given it aid and comfort in any way, from voting until after the next Presidential election; but this was changed in the Senate, and as it now stands is not open to serious objection. The fourth clause simply forbids the payment of the rebel debt, and is not opposed by anybody; and the fifth only gives Congress power to carry the other provisions into effect a power Congress would probably possess in the absence of any such specific grant. The amendment now awaits the action of the Legislatures of the several States. It is just in itself, and its adoption, by remedying injustice and Srpviding tor the public safety, would o much tS ward tranquilizing public sentiment and preparing the way for the more speedy restoration of peace and harmony to all sections of our common Union. It is greatly to be

regretted that all the btates were not

represented in the Congress by which it was proposed; but it is submitted to them all for their consideration and action. Nothing would conduce more to the public peace than its soeedv ratification, esneciallv bv those States which are to be most directly affected by its provisions. From X. Y. Tribune. Indiana Election Statistics. Indiana voted in 1$64 for Governor and President. Out of the total vote of 283,285, Governor Morton had 20,883 majority over McDonald. Lin coln's majority was 20,189 out of the entire vote of 280.G65. At the latest election that for county officers, held in the Fall of last year there were Union gains in ail but two counties, the most remarkable occurrence in Allen County, which, in 1861, gave 2,359 majority for the Democratic ticket; and in 1865 about 400 for the Union. As a Senator must be elected to succeed the Hon, Henry S. Lane, it is well to bear in mind that the Legislature of 1865 had a Union majority of 10 on joint ballot. Below are the present nominations for Congress with the district vote affixed: Union. Vote 1801. Tem. Vote 1864. 1. Greshem 12.H10 Kerr 14,720 2. DeBruler 9.064 Niulaok 11.357 3. Hunter 12,017 4.

The Seventh, formerly represented by Voorhees, has only a Democratic majority of 584 to offset the Union majority of 580 iu the Tenth District. Julian, Colfax and Orth have been renominated on the Union side. The Failure of the New Party. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The Conservative party has broken down because its head proves no true Conservative. He has not the temperament for the leader of such a party. It needs a self-controlled nature, and a careful, cautious man, with a touch of timidity, much reverence for law and precedent, and a degree of firmness in adhering to things as they are for that place. Mr. Johnson is no such man ; he is too hot, impetous, violent and reckless. He may be acting to-day with the Conservatives and to-morrow with the Radicals ; but he can never be the true and trusted leader of either. He has not the moral instinct and faith for a Radical leader in American politics, he has not the reverence and caution for a Conservative; he has not the elements that inspire confidence sufficiently to be trusted and followed as such by either. He belongs to the same class of American politicians,as Mr. Douglas and Gen. Butler rude, strong. passionate natures, with great force of character, often wielding great popular power, useful for much of the work of a new and struggling nation, the men for revolutionary periods and revolutionary labor, yet ever naturally and properly distrusted by the finer moral instincts aroundthem, and rarely safe guides through periods of desired calm and peaceful reconstruction and progress. Mr. Johnson exhibits this character as the loyal Governor of Tennessee, when he was associated with the Radicals, and he is ex ibiting the same qualities now as President of the Nation and leader of the opposition to them. He was the same man at Nashville in '62- 63 as in Washington and on the stump in 1866. He is an unreliable and unsafe leader at anytime, but better as participating in a revolution like that in Tennessee, than to compose the conflicting elements in our national strife, and enforce the moral results of our National victory. The Conservatives are fleeing from him as if by instinct, and the party he essayed to organize in his support at Philadelphia is a mortifying failure throughout the loyal States. Thus it is that the so lately hopeful Conservative Union party of the nation becomes a failure. The Maine and Vermont elections show the alarm of the people, their distrust of Mr. Johnson s leadership, and their rally in refuge arouud the Republican party. They flee to that organization that has been the rock of safety for the countrythrough the war. It must hold still longer Conservatives and Radicals alike, till the new danger is passed; and loyal hearts must waive difference as to the policies of reconstruction, as to men as leaders, as to what is to come utter order and calm are restored, as they did during the war. and join hands to convince the Southern people that the power of the Government cannot be shared with them until they show themselves capable of wielding it in the interests of peace and justice, of law and order. The South must be made to see and feel that it must organize and secure peace and protection to all its citizens at home before we of the North can consent to divide among ourselves on the new and vexed questions in our national life. First peace, then progress: and if peace can only be reached by a new progress, so much the better for nation and race.

FffIHE SI BW RIKKR HAS I XV EX TA ed and patented a Machine for crushing and expressing the juice from Apples and other fruit at a single operation, thereby dispensing with screws, levers, presses, and other cumbersome machinery, and saving all the time and labor necessary to separate the Juices from the fruit bv the old process. This important result is attained by a novel arrangement of crushing and pressing cylinders together in one frame, entirely unlike any Machine ever heretofore constructed for such a purpose, and which must eventually supersede and do away with all known processes for extracting juices from fruit. The subscriber claims, and is ready to demonstrate, that the following advantages are gained over all other Machines: 1st. With the same amount of power, three time the quantity of Cider or Wine can be made In a day than can be made by any other Machine. 2d. That trom 25 to 10 per cent, more Cider or Wine can be extracted from the same amount of fruit. 3d. That it is more compact and simple in its operation, stronger and less liable to get out of order; Is adapted to hand or other powers ; Is portable, and can be transported readily trom place to place; can be driven by any kind of power, and can be attached to any machinery. 1th. It Is cheaper in proportion to Its capacity. 5th. It is stronger, being constructed enIrely of iron. 6th. In being adapted for expressing Juices from all kinds of fruit. Including Apples, drapes. Rhubarb, or Wine Plant, Can-ants, and Berries of all kinds. 7th. Tliat it is superior to any Root Cutter known for the purpose of crushing roots of all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier, and better than any other Machine. 8th. That It expresses the juice from Apples or other fruit the moment they are crushed, wherein lies the great secret ot making good Cider or Wine. 9th. That it does not grind or break the seed of any kind of fruit; therein-doing away with a great objection which is urged against all other.Maohm.ts. Enclose stamp for DescrlptiveClrcular. Address G.
