our mind, nssocisteii with this town, is the Hartford Convention of old, when, in was treason plotted oea:r.st lhe Gtvernconvened for the no less purpose than to discredit and put down tha Bible. Yes, a convention has just been in session in this city of isms, to bring discredit on the word of God. And in this convention were congregated the brute portion of the human race those who have so souls, and are striving t j prove that others are like themselves.

in thing in man's image we ever saw one whom God had given over to believe a lie. He was so prominently marked in his countenance and in his voice, that we could not refrain shuddering at his presence. We soon learned, however. by his ungentlemanly way of obtruding ! his opinions and business upon others, : that he was no less than a delegate to i the National Anti-Bible Convention from Cincinnati. We wondered what lilthv smsnge row he had crawled from in that . eiiy.

There is, however, one feature in this matter, that others mav not have ! observed. In our intercourse with the country people of Connecticut, Massachuseits and New Hampshire, we have, observed that the married ladies are far '. more intelligent, and superior in many . respects to their husbands. We ac-i count for this on the ground, that the in- ; teiligent, energetic young men of these ! ! old stKtcs, so soon ;;s they attain their ; majority, go to the west, to California, ! an l to ali other portions of the Globe. ! 1 Leaving at home those who are content toiiil this rocky soil, and to plod on as i their lathers have done. The conse- ' quence is, there are in these three states alK'ut '000 more females than males, cvin? to ' disparity in the sexes, and the laws ot nature, the young men left, as tlUT " 8'1 countries, marrv the ,t!,f. 7;bnsl and in'teHi 1 mo uusc mvy are ln?

It is so embowered and hid in its own green foliage, that one sees ; Si-arceiy anything ot the outward world. In fact were it not for the Rail Roads that pass thro' the town, it appears that there would he but little to awake the citizens from their dream of hamiinoss. There are some eight or ten Roads cnntrate here and not ten minutes ri.ip.-e wmioni me arrival or departure of a train of cars. And the business is all done in one depot And this example should be followed by all towns and cities. It is vast trouble and expense to have the depots at the extreme points of the city. It is annoying to travelers and expensive to shippers of goods. We hope it will be looked to. C. F. C. Faith's Triumfh.

BROOKVILLE, FRANKLIN COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1S53.

To Brother Joaathia. Ho! Brother! I'm a Britisher, A chip of heart ot oak, That wouldn't warp, or swerve, or stir, From what I thought or spoke And yon, a blunt and honest man, Straight-forward, kind, and true; I tell you, Brother Jonathan, That you're a Briton, too. I k now your heart, an open heart, I read your mind and will, A greyhound ever on the start. To run for honor still: And shrewd to scheme a likely plan, And stout to see it done, I tell you, Brother Jonathan, That you and I are one! "God save the Queen," delights you still, And "British GrenaHiero ine good old strain your heart strings thrill vaitu yu Dy ooin ears; And we O hate us if you can, For we are proud of you , We like you, Brother Jonathan, And "Yankee Doodle," too. There's nothing foreign in your face, Nor s'range upon your tongue, You come notof another race, From baser lineage sprung, No, Brother! though away you ran, As truant boys will do, Still true it is, young Jonathan, My fathers fathered you. Well, well ; and every praise of old, That makes us famous still. You would be just, and may be bold To share it if you will Since England's glory first oegan Till just the other day, The half is yours; but, Jonathan, Why cid you runaway? O, Brother, could we both be one, In nation and in name, How gladly would the very sun Lie basking in our fame! In either world to lead the van, And go ahead for good, While earth to John and Jonathan, Yields tribute gratitude. Add but your stripes and golden star To brave St George's cross, And never dieam of mutual wars, Two dunce's mutual loss; Let us two bless, where others ban, And love when others hate, And so my cordial Jonathan, We'll fix, I calculate. What more? I touch not holier strings, A loftier strain to win; Nor glance at prophets, priests and kings, Or heavenly kith or kin. As friend with friend, and man with man, O, let our hearts be thus. As David's love to Jonathan, Be Jouathau's to us! Horrid lUnrdcr. A few days since a Mr. Vice, of this city, died of delirium tremens.

Spirit of the Indiana Press. The Bloomington Gazette contains a long article on the exhibition of Van Amburgh &. Raymond's Menagerie at that Place. The editor estimates thai $S30 were carried off by the "show," and thinks it could have been put to a better use, for instance by hiring a good lecturer for a year to lecture on agricultural subjects. The Corydon Argus says: "The Wheat crops in the South and West portions of our county promise to be good; there is, It is true, occasionally a field injured by the fly, but in the maiu the yield will be generous, and the quality superior We saw this season what we never observed belore, ripe wheat as early as the sixth of June.

The dwelliug house of widow Daniel Wise, in Jackson township, two miles this side of Perkinsville, situate on the South bank of White River, was almost literally razed to the ground. Loss $2,0i0.

The editor comments on the prevalent railway mania, and cautions the pubheagainst building too mmy roads. The farmers of Madison county are urged to" gel up a fair. The editor envies Indianapolis in their enjoyment of strawberry suppers, and Bighs for a "dish of ripe strawberries smothered in cream."

The Advertiser expatiatesquite philosophically on the proscriptive disposition of the new administration.

Further Limitations on Slavery The New York Courier and Enquirer of Saturday devotes nearly four of Its immense columns to a formal review of Mrs. Stowa's Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin. While it regards Mrs. S.'s books as eminently libellous on the character of Southern Slavery, it also concedes the necessity of certain changes in the Slave Code of the South, as demanded by justice.policy ,and the humane spirit of the age. Referring to the Louisiana law, which prohibit the separation of a child, under ten years of age, from its mother, it says; The law in regard to the separation of mother and child, w believe is peculiar to Louisiana. We think it ought to be adopted in other States, and extended ao as to apply ta the relation of husband and wife. There is a very wiue feeling prevailing at the South in favor of iuvoking the aid of law to prevent the wrongs of this character, which are frequently perpetrated. Everybody understands that the Southern Press, recently published in Washington, represented the extreme of the pro-slavery feeling of the South. The following editorial language of one of its last numbers, shows the feeling which is becoming common to southern slave holders. "The South has a great moral conflict to wage; and it is for her to put on the most invulnerable panoply. Hence it is her duty, as well as interest, to mitigate or remove, whatever of evil that results incidentally from the institution. The separation of husband and wife, parent and child, is one of those evils, which we know is generally avoided and repudiated there although cases sometimes occur which we observe are seized by the Northern fanatics as characteristic illustrations of the system. Now we can see no great evil of inconvenience, but much good, in this prohibition by law of such occurrences. Let the husband and wife be sold together, and the parents and minor children. Such a law would affect but slightly the general value or availability of slave property, and would prevent, in some cases, the violence done to the feeling 01 such connections by sales either compulsory or voluntary. We are satisfied that it would be beneficial to the master and alave to promote marriage, and the observance of all its duties and relations." "Neither will we say that further restrictions should be put upon the internal slavetrade, for it is that which gives rise to most of the abuses that abolitionists parade with such effect. Some of the States, like Mississippi aud North Carolina, have gone very far towards destroying this trade, by prohibiting the briugiug of any slave into the State for the purpose of sale or hire. When such laws become universal, the internal slave trade must cease." Again, we are sure that in some of the States, slave-holders should in justice to themselves, rid their statute books of severe laws which were passed, generations ago, when jurisprudence every where had far less humanity than now and have since grown obsolete. There are many such dead-letter statutes, never repealed, aud serving no purpose, except to furnish material for malignant misrepresentation. Mrs. Stowe has not neglected this advantage. W hen papers of the character of the Courier and Enquirer are induced to advocate such modifications of the slave code as the above, it becomes sufficiently obvious that Mrs. Stowe 's books have not been without their influence.

The Last of Earth. "Be still make no noise let me die quietly!" The last worda of Vice President King. "Be still!" The hour ef the soul's departure is at hand; Earth is fading from Its vision; Time is gliding from its presence! Hopes that cluster around young life, that swell in the heart of manhood, when the frosts of Autumn chills them unto death. Ambition with hollow promises, and pride, with its lofty look, have vanished away. The world with its deceitfulness; pleasure, with its gilded temptations are goue aud alone in utter destitution of all that time promised, it must start on its solitary jouruey across Uie valley of tho shadow of death! "Make no noise!" Let the tumult of life cease. Let no sound break the soul's cornj 01 'ne neveuly harps, touched by uarmony oy the discord of earth. MLet me die quietly!"

Speak not oi fading memories, of affections whose objects perish in their loveliness, like the flowers of rpring or wither ia a slow decay. Talk not of aa earthly home where loved ones linger, where a seat will soon be vacant, and a cherished voice h untied forever, or of the desolation that will seat itself by the hearthstone. The soul is at peace with God, lei :.t pass calmly away. Heaven is opening upon its vision. The bright turrets, the tall spires, the lofty domes of the Eternal City, are emerging from the spectral darkness, and the Glory of the Most High is dawuing aroand litem. The while throne is glistening in the distance, and the while robed angels are beckoning the weary spirit to its everlasting home. What is life, that it should be clung to longer?

They were sitting together one evening, talking of their approaching nuptials, when the Doctor remarked, "l"am thinking, my dear, of two events which I 6hall number among the happiest of my life."

Good and Trie. A man, says Doctor Franklin, as often gets two dollars for the one he spends in informing his mind, as he does for a dollar he lays out in any other way. A man eats up a pound of sugar, and it is gone, and the pleasure he has enjoyed has ended; but the information he gets from a newspaper is treasured op in the mind to be enjoyed anew, and to be used whenever occasion or inclination calls for it.

Indianapolis Lawrerii Hiram Brown, one of the oldest and most noted of the Indianapolis Bar, died last week. There has been, in the last few years, a wonderfully rapid retirement from practice among the lawyers of Indianapolis. William and John Quarles and Hiram Brown have gone to the grave; Judge Hammond, O'Neal,, and Lander, to the Pacific coast; Fletcher and Butler, into the enjoyment of independent fortunes; Wick, , into the Post Office; W. J. Brown, into politics; Judge Morrison, into the Bank; O. H. Smith and J. H Bradlty, into railreads; Major, into the Bench; &.c.,&c. We copy the following sketch oflmdiana History from the State Sentinel. Read it: I5DURA. The act of Congress organizing the territory of Indiana, was approved May 7, 1800. General William Henry Harrison, then delegate in Congress from the North-Western Territory, was appointed Governor, John Gibson, Secretary of State, aud William Clark, John Griffin, and Henry Fanderbureh, iudo-es. The covernment was or ganized at St. Vincpnnra. on th Ath f July, 1800, by Gen.
