WEX2E3DAY, MAY 23, 1810. SSrUBLICAN DISTEICTCOXYEXTIOj A Mass Convention of Republicans will be held at . . Trlncctoa, on Thursday, Jane 16, ';0, At one o'clock J-.x., Xor the purpose of making Congressional and Judicial nomi nations, and transacting sucn other busi ness as may properly come before the Convention. Each, county will be entitled to cast ita vote In the Convention In proportion to ita Republican strength. The Republicans In the various conn ties of the First Congressional District are rc-aaested to send a fuU representation. Papprs frkndJy to the causo are re quested to copy. By order of the Ex, Com. 1st Coxa. Disr. MeS. E. Cady Stanton retires from the Revolution, and Miss Susan has gone to the far West to debate with a hard-headed lawyer on Wo man's Rizhts.. The Revolution has been sold to a stock company, with Mr. Tiltbn and Mr. Studwell largely in interest, and will be the organ of the Association oyer which Mr. Til ton presides. 8. B. Vance, Esq., of Henderson, Kentucky, is announced as a candi date for Congress from the Second District. The Reporter speaks of him in the highest terms of praise We regard Mr. Vance as a gentle man in every particular, and if the Second Congressional District is to be represented by a Democrat, we know of no one we would prefer to see elected. Ma. James Ferry, the popular Conductor on ths E. & 0. Railroad is announced as a prospective candi dat- for Sheriff, and we understand thxt his aspirations will be submitted to the Democratic County Conven tion. While we do not see how th Democracy can reasonably refuse to re nominate Sheriff Miller, both be cause of precedent and his services in behalf of the party, still, if it is th determination to behead him, we do not know of a better man for th part; to take up than Conductor Ferry, lie is a gentleman, and wil make an efficient officer. We only wish that all parties, in all their nom inations, would select as good men and men as well qualified for the offices which they are chosen to fil In such event, whatever might be th result of the election, politically, the people would have the assurance that their affairs would be prudently and honostly administered. Ill-Tempered. We are somewhat surprised at the ill temper displayed by the Courier of yesterday, over the- subject of

Water Works. We had supposed that the pleasure jaunt of its editor to Covington, Cincinnati, and Dayton, at a cost to the tax-payers of the city of over forty-three dollars, and during which he enjoyed the hospitalities of tho various Water Works Trustees, Common Connoil, et. al., would have 30 far improved the natural amiability of his temper as to have restored him to us brimming over with good-natured jollity. On the contrary, however, the ride and the "hospitalities seem only .to have "stirred his bile," and he manifests rrore than the usual amount of editorial grumness, if not actual anger. Certainly, we had reason to expect that having spent tv:o or three days investigating Water Works and water, that he would take thiDgs more than usually cool. . But we aro disappointed; and since pleasure excursions prove so disastrous to his amiability, we think the Council acted discreetly in not sending' him to Washington to compel the United States Senate to pass the" bill establishing a branch of the United States District Court in cur city. It is very true the Water Works Committee extended to us an invitation to accompany them on their excursion, and that we'did not go. But we muss say we can't see why our declination should add to the bitterness of the editor, inasmuch as our non-attendance, using his own words, prevented all "annoyance from any person who was determined to make factious opposition to the Water Works," to say nothing of the fortythree dollars saved to the tax payer. Oar forty-three dollars may be applied in the construction of the works, or paying the expenses of our editorial cotemporary on his next excursion. While we regret our neighbor's display of ill-temper, we , must notice some of his statements. Ho says: The difference between the present Council and its predecessor consists in the fact that the present board looks to the building up of a city by prudent legislation aud the construction of needed publio works, and so distributing tlo burthens of taxation that another generation will have a part of it to bear, while the policy of the old board was to do nothing if possible, to create large bank debts, pay enormoua rates of interest to be met every three or four months, and let the principal run on so as to eat up the annual revenues for the benefit of banks and bankers, without accomplishing aDy benefit to the people. By this paragraph, one may learn what confidence to place in the statements of the Courier. The bank debt of the city was actually reduced by the last Council, notwithstanding the enormous liabilities inherited from its Democratic " predecessor, which came due and had to be provided for during the year. The Courier, of course, was aware of this fact, but, being out of temper, it considered itself justified in statiDg exactly the contrary. Another interesting paragraph, clipped from tho couple of columns of miscellaneous scolding, in which our irate neighbor saw proper to io. j dulge yesterday, reads as follows : " I We sympathize with our friends !

the Journal because the Radical

rpeculators and vultures did not suc ceed in imposing another ring" of monopolists upon the people of iivansvule, in which our virtuous neighbor would have strutted with a conscious pense of imnortance and fatness, gathering up his twenty per cent, semi-annually from the revenues of the Water Works. The failure was a sore distress, no doubt. Uut tne people- are hard-hearted enough to laugh at his discomfiture. Ihis calamity may be borne hn tlie people witn great complacency. The Courier should have taken the precaution usually adopted by Arte mua Ward, and appended to the above paragraph, in parenthesis, ("this is earkasm. ) As it i3,some of its readers may erroneously think it is in solemn earnest, when "it onlv meant to bo facetious. Nobody knows better than the editor of the Courier, that the Journal never ad vocated the establishment of monop olies of any character, Water Works or otherwise. But then, he was in bad temper, and felt fasti fied in making statements which could not be sustained by facta. Not a single , editorial paragraph can be quoted from the Journal advocating the construction of Water Works by a private company. Not only did the Journal oppose such an arrangement, but the Republican party, in convention assembled, passed a resolution recommending that the city construct the Works. All this the Courier is familiar with, but then when an editor loses his temper, he cannot be expected to confine himsel to dull matters of fact. It is po much easier to draw largely upon the do main of fiction. We copy still another charming specimen of "imagination run wild ui an tne improvements mat nave ever been projected in Evansville, ly the,city the construction ot Water Works is the only one that will ever return money into the city treasury during the Juetime ot this generation Our railroads were needed to extend our trade, open commerce with i neater scope of country and to in crease our facilities of business of al kinds. To secure these desiable ob jects the people submitted to a large publio oebt and heavy taxation But none of these lines of communi cation with the great world were ex pected to become a source of revenue tor many years, isot so with our Wa ter Works. Within two years from the dav they are put in operation, in any part of the city, they will become a source of revenue, which will increase as the years go by, until the Holly works will not only have paid for their own construction, but the revenues derived from the water rents will go a lone way toward the payment or the debt of our city incurred for other purposes. At every meeting of the Counci two wharf-masters hand in weekly re ports, showing the amount of revenue derived by the city, from the wharf. We supposed the wharf was an lm provement" that "returned money in to tho city treasury, during the life time of this generation. But when an editor gets mad he is apt to be blind to the most palpable facts, and hence we are not surprised that the Courier should overlook so valuable a city improvement as the city wharf. Indeed, were it not for our wharf, we do not know what our Finance Committee would do. It is the great "improvement,", by mortgaging which money can be raised. We observe that the bank debt is being reduced by converting it into bonds secured by the wharf, at the rate of one dollar for every seventy-five cents. This is what the Courier facetiously terms "prudent legislation and the construction of pnblio works, and so distributing the burtliens of taxation that an other generation will have a pari of it to bear. We suspect that the "other generation," to whom the Courier looks for the payment of these debts, will make up its mind that it will be cheaper to sell out and take up its residence in some other city, where the ' burthens of taxation" have not been increased especially for its benefit. If the policy of paying debts by increasing them at the rate of twenty-five per cent, is continued, "another generation" is likely to have a hard time of it, and will doubtless be sold out under the hammer. We confess to a decided partiality for the old custom of not contracting debts until the means of paying them aro provided to a reasonably certain extent. To say that because certain improvements are needed, there fore ... they must be ordered and the city run in debt for them, is foolish financiering. Many men feel that sundry improvements in their houses are necessary, and would add materially to their com fort and the beauty of their situation. but who of them would be so silly as to go ahead with tie improvement, mortgaging the property for the cost of the same, and trusting to chance for means to meet the debts when they become due. Yet this is pre cisely the policy advocated by: the Courier for the city. "Improvements are needed; go a head;, who cares for. expenses?" "Another genera tion" will have to bear a large share of the burthens of taxation resulting from such improvements. All this may be very nice, but we think when the editor o fthe Courier re-covers his equanimity, ho will recognize the fict that it is also undoubtedly very foolish This recent New York election put all its predecessors to an op?n shame by reason of the high handed and outrageous frauds. It was the most gigantic farce ever acted before a free people. Napoleon's plebeseile was justice, equity and fair dealing itself, compared with the New York fraud. A New York paper furnishes U3 the following brief but comprehensive statement of the manner in which the election was conducted: The venerable precept, "vote early and vote often," waa obeyed bymoltifudes in many of the wards. Well known citizens were even present when otliers voted in their came, and

SlJfHJBl

the demand for the arrest of the miscreants who committed the crime, was unheeded by the police, on the ground that the demand was not made by the proper authority, the proper authority being the agents ot the fraud. Organized bands of repeaters, as they are called, did not even pretend to conceal their operations, but under the very eyes of the police, shifted tho disguises under which, short interval, the same persons voted in other names. In one ward, nearly five hundred negroes who had been registered, wero deprived of their votes, because on appearing at the ballot-boxes, it was discovered that repeaters had already voted for them. Some of these negroes were actually arrested for attempting to vote in their own names, which had been already used. Upon the whole, ii is, perhaps, a low estimate that thirty thousand fraudulent votes vere cast to elect a Democratic Chief Justice. From the Cincinnati Chronicle. The Falsehood or Mr. Broofcs. A correspondent, whose communi cation appears elsewhere in these columns, has put us in possession of a printed copy of the Know-Nothing speech delivered by Hon. James Brooks in this city, on the dOth of May, 1856. This is substantially, if not exactly, the tame as that to which we referred yesterday as Laving been delivered in Uolumbus. Letitbere membered that we do not accuse Mr. Brooks of falsehood in savior he was never inside ot a ivnow-Nothing "lodge." That may or may not have been a mere quibble. Here is the is sue raised, as we cave it vesterdav: Mr. Dawes, referring to Mr. Brooks, said he knew he denied having been In a Know-NothlnK lodge, bat that did not alter the fact of his having been an advocate of -K.now-jxoin.mg aoctrtne. Mr. Brooks It is not so. It is not true. Excitement. Now this was a deliberate false hood, as the speech before us abun dantly proves, and we trust Mr. Dawes will not permit himself to be faced down in this way, but publicly convict Mr. Brooks of the grave onense he has committed. We have now room only for the fol lowing extracts ot Mr.Urooks Know Nothing speech here in 1856, but they will serve to indicate the spirit and tenor of the whole: "A V KEICANS SHALL GOVERN AMERICA." Yon live here twenty-one years before yon can vote you. who are educated and trained in tbe spirit of oar laws, wbich Washington, and Madison, and Franklin Inspired you studied them In the English language. In roar childhood. In your own school-books, and are thus belter qualified to ccetcite the right of suffrage at twelve year, than nine-tenth of the foreigner at thirty or forty, f Cheers.) But we, who will not let our wives and daughters vote, no matter what their ages, are told we are prosorlptlve, bigoted and fanatlo becaune toe with to keep the forexgner here the full length of lime we have to itay, ot at least some longer time than he has to stay at present, before he can vote, and thu become a partner tn our uovernment. UDR principles are laid down in the well-known motto, WHICH MVKA1S IVEEYTH1NQ IX KNOWNothikqismos Americanism AMERI CANS HHAlilj UOVtKN AMERICA.' Load and prolonged cheers. We give the big capitals as we find them. And now let us make room for a few words from that long portion of the same speech of Mr. Brooks in which he pays his respects to the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope in a decidedly different strain from that indulged in on Thursday. Again we quote from Hon. James Brooks, May 30, 1856: Let tho Roman Catholic, If be pleases, entertain bis own ideas of transurjxtantlatton ; be is welcome io theiu all. Let the priest If be pleases. Indulge in celibacy, and eschew all married liie. JlUa matter cf choice or of taste. All I can say is, tnat I pity him with my whole heart, if he wacticea what he vreache. rLangbter.1 Let all who are disposed, man, woman or child, worship and adore the Virgin Mary, or believe in the immaculate conception. It matters bet little to me as a public man. It may be a thing of tate, or training, or descent. Nay, worship of virgins Is an inborn Instinct, of tbe human heart. All may worsh'p virgins, iloI Vlrgtn Marys alone, but Virgins Elizas, Annas or Henriettas too. Laugnter. When I see a Virgin from tbe pencil of a Kafheal. or a Titian, or a Ouido. I can scarcely help falling down and worshipping it myself as a work of art. Continued laughter and applause. On lioae of these things do we make war. not even on the secrets or the coniesslonal. If there be father or husband who permits bis wife or daughter to pour the secrets of nts lamuy or me loves 01 toeir own ten der hearts into tbe ears of tbe b-ympathiz lng and nnmarried priest, I might only wish I was the' confessor: Renewed laueaier.i , ' Other Catholics than the Roman Catho lics have emancipated themselves irom all connection with tbe Komish Church and Roman Hierarchy. The leading principle of the Revolution of lf) was Independence free and absolute independence from all European thraldom in every shape and farm. But the Roman Catholics, notwithstanding these brigm examples inns set Dy otner religious denominations, have deemed and declared it a part of their religion, or rather of their politic, to keep up a connection with a newer and authority spiritual and tempo ral over four thousand mile from this city of Vtnctnnait, a power ana auinorny on tne ban ks vf Tiber amid tne ruin of imperial icme;wnere tneir uoais not th almighty God op HsAViN-or their heaven, that blue, arched canopy, studded with stars above, bat a heaven of their own amid the pictures and statuary of tne Vatican, wnere tome man, mere man, the self-styled and sblf-cokstituted Vicegerent of the God Of Heaven, as if the successor of the Paoak Jupiter, rolls out thunder from his Olympus, only, however, in paper duiis ttrut Jixcommumcaitona.

We think these extracts will be quite sufficient, to satisfy even the doubting and denying Voorhees They leave Mr. Brooks no refuge or ioop-noie ot escape. Communicate J. A Great Day with the Regular Bap tists. Notice had been given to the public that on, Sunday, May 221, fifty or more persons would be baptized by immersion near Port Gibson (about four miles east of Fort Branch.) The day, fortunately proved to be one of those lovely days of May, when Na ture presented herself in all her robes of beauty. The woods rung with the melody of a thousand birds; hence it was no wonder to see throDgs coming from every direction to witness this imposing ceremony. To our surprise there were two or three thousand persons congregated on both sides of tbe small stream, and as comlortably arranged as circumstances would ad mit without chairs or seats, except such as nature had provided. After a ehort address by the Rev. Mr. Strickland in regard to their views of baptism and church doctrine, the candidates, by request, came to the water. At fifteen minutes after 10 o clock the first person was led into the water by the pastor of the Church, Rev. C. Sands, and in ten minutes eleven were baptized. Revs. Sands and Strickland each led a candidate in together, and as soon as one of the administrators had administered the ordinance the other immediately followed. During the next thirty minutes thirty-six were baptized in this way. The last six candidates all came into tne water together, and were baptized in two minutes. The location was rather an unfa vorable one, and the administrators much more deliberate than necessarv in administering the ordinance. We are convinced, from what wo saw here, that one person having the candidates well arranged, that two can. with all aue Eoiemnny, vs immersed in a mm-

ute. Those who say that it was impossible for the three thousand that were converted on the day ot l'entecost to havo been immersed on tbe same day, will do well to examine this calculation. If we only admit the twelve Apostles to be the only persons at that time authorized to administer the ordinance, they could have baptized the three thousand by immersion, agreeable to calculation, in two hours and five minutes. There were many of these doubters on the ground, on Sunday, who had brought their, dinners with them, as though they expected it would require most of the day to baptize fifty-three, but they were favorably disappointed by having the privilege to return home to an early dinner. J1. Fort Branch, Ind. In Congress the other day. the House being in Committee of the wholethe question of tariff came up ior aiscussion. under the provisions of a certain amendment to the bill it was proposed that ladies cor sets, palpitators, etc., should be sub ject to . taxation. We are glad to chronicle the fact thct it was a Dem ocrat one Cox who was first to stand up and vigorously defend woman's rights and her liberties. He spent at least one hour arguing the matter during which time he very ablv de veloped the pending issue of women, and though somewhat exhausted the subject seemed to increase in interest, as Mr. Cox is a very able man. Cour ier. ve published lengthy extracts from the speech alluded to, some two or three weeks ago. The Courier is behind the times. SPECIAL NOTICES. Consumption. The Three Remedies. " Schknch'8 Pcxmonio Btbup," for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Con sumption. The peculiar action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by expectoration. Pu rifles the blood, and thus cores Consumption, when every other remedy fails. "Schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the core of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases arising from debility. This tonlo invigorates the digestive organs, supplies the place of the gastric Juice when that is deflolent, and then enables the patient to digest the most nulrlclous food. It is a sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges tion. " Schenck's Mandrake Fills," one of the most valuable medicines ever discovered. being a vegetable substitute for calomel, and bavlng all the nsefnl properties as cribed to that mineral, without producing any of its Injurious effects. To these three medicines Dr. J. H Bchenok, of Philadelphia, owes his nn rivaled success in tbe Treatment of Pul monic Consumption. The Pulmonic Byrnp ripens the morbid matter, discharges it, and purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, remove all ob structions therefrom, give the organ healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint, which Is one of the most prominent causes Of Consumption. The Bea-Weed Tonic Invigorates the powers of the stomach, and by strengthen' lng the digestion and bringing it to a nor mal and healthy condition, Improves the quality of the blood, by which means the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs becomes impossible. The combined action of nftse medicines, as thus ex plained, w I care every case of Consumption if the r medles are used in time and the ose of the is persevered in sufficient Iy to bring the case to a favorable termina tion.
