Indeed we feel aafo in saying that a convention of more moral worth, of more decision and determination never met in the United States. It was emphatically a gathering of the intelligence and morality of the State. Thm people were there on business that concerned them. It was not a convention of office holders and office aeekers. We saw a few of these standing around gaxing with awe and wonJer on tho movements of an enter,rize that the had thought was confined to a few fa natics. To us it was a season of inccseant rejoicing, and though several days have elapsed we are yet too much excited to do the subject justice in our report. As we looked around over the Convention we recognized many an old familiar face enjoying the enthusiasm, and girding on the armor, and vowing to conquer or die, who but a few years ago looked on us as a visionary enlhusisst, when we, with but few supporters, began to agitate the question ol immediately and entirely overthrowing the liquor traffic. Our heart said, again and again, "What hath God wrought! Not unto ws, O Lord, not unto us, but to thy name give the glory." The Convention was organised on Wednesday morning by calling Mr. Uitliken of Dearborn to the Chair, and appointing E. II. Darry and D. V. Foster .Secretaries. A committee was appointed to nominate perminent officers, and while they were out the list of counties was called and tho names of delegates tfreeerded. About 1200 names were handed In to the secretary, and several hundred came In subsequently whose names wer not obtained. At least 1500 wert In attendance, besides htm JreJe of citiscna and strangers that "dropt In" to see and hear what was go Jngon. After recording the names of as legates, the counties were egain rail d, and ! minutes were allowed to one from acti county to give an account of Ho cause In tho county, This wis thrilling! Interesting. Nearly every county In the State was represented In the Convention, and It was sjtonlahlng to hear what an amount of facts could be stated lact minutes. It sffurded no time for rhetorlcsl flourishes but abundant time for stern, naked tru;ha. There wis i striking uniformity In the facta Juced. They were, In substance, thtl Intcmpcrenco was yet continuing Its work of death, and yet Imposing on the hard wurklrg and honest tsxpsers burdens too heavy to bo bornethat since the decision of the Supreme Court liquor establishments had multlplUJ by Lundreds, showing the absolute necessi ty of law to restrain them,- and fin til determination of the sober tax. paying cillsens to quit petitioning the leylslaturt on this subject, and elect legislators who will enact atringent laws, because they know that auch lawa are demanded by ever? consideration that should influence the Statesman in his deliberations and actions. The permanent organisation was effected by electing Bishop Ames Presttdeitt, and appointing a corps of Secretaries and Vice .'residents. The 'resident en taking hie seat de iivered a abort but appropriate address, file reference to the right of freemen to meet and consutt, and their right to give instructions through the ballst box waa timely, and It wu warmly received by the auJience. The address and reiolutlons adopted by ii convention will be fwund In another colemn. These wete adopted without a dissenting vote. A little diversity ol stnllmtnt existed as to de tall In aome of the teeolullons.but when it came to voting on them, as agreed to iy the majority there waa the utmost harmony, Addresses were heard from time to sitae from Gen. Carey of Ohio, Gen. Ullsyof Ne-v Yorb.Capt. Jhwklns of Baltimore, and others. The thanks of the Convention are due particularly to (Jen. Csry for tho timely and prsdent advice he gave on ssveral occasions, anJ fete counsel to the business commlttie, In arrsnging the plans for the coming campaign, lie waa unanimously rc guested to ipend n much time at ponl tle In the State between this and the Oc tober election. Arrangements were maJe to organize la every county, and 913000 were pledg ed fur tho use of the Central Commit tee, to carry out the plana they adopt The 22nd of February waa suggested aa suitable time to organize In each county by holding at that time a county convention. We will allude again tu the doings of the Convention. I'nlavrfulT At the present term of the Parke county Circuit Court, ssys the Lafayette (la.) Courier, it has been decided that "chirivareea" (shivarees) well kuown among the boys as an uproarous kind of a con cert ruada with all manner ol hurdy gurdy s, tin pans, horse fiddles, &c, that newly married people are greeted with are riots. Two youths found guilty f engaging in a chirivareo were fined (15 Uh five days imprisonment, the other 930 with eleven days iinpris onment. McClure will have a fine time text session of the Court In Drookville. We hope the example of Parka county, will be followed by Franklin. Tin: ucmi uiot. The evidence for he prosecution, in this case was brought to a clone on Saturday lust. Tbe tcstimjny, so tar, goes to show that there waa no design on the part of tho Freemen to commit any violence on person or property, but simply to express their indignation at the conduct of Dedini in Italy, by treating him to a discordant serenade, and a round of groans as they pused the residence ol the Diilup, anJ preceding to Fifth street ra trkct sptcc, lucre tj burn bis

What extras he would have prepared had he known we were coming we can not guess. If that dinner is a fair sample of his dinuera, no wonder his house Is popular with boardera and travelers. We learn that he intends further repairs upon his house in the spring. The Chard, lltilldlnff Our readers who are familiar with the atreets ol Cincinnati will remember the site of the Universalist Church on Walnut, between Third and Fourth. .Tbe proprietora of that portion of the city gave It to the Baptists, and they solJ it to tho Univcrsalists, but now, the Vandalism of business hss converted the sacred spot into a business mart. On the site of the old church is one of the largest busineaa houses in the city. We were kindly conducted through It a few days ago by one of the gentlemanly pro prictors.Mr. Boylan, Bnd, if wt can judge, it is admirably adapted to their business. It is worth no little, to see such a house. Call and go through it, but don't buy goods there, unless you can do at well, or a little better than elsewhere. See their card in another column.

Ooouwia: Although my ac quaintance with you at Editor of the American la but alight I have been im prttttd with the Idea that perhaps I might do you aomo good, and confer a blessing un the Intelligent resders of your column, by sketching a few Items which may "loom up" on the lino of my ram btea from place to place. I arrived In title place a few dsye ago, and have been highly entertained In forming acquaintances, taking tho Mti vre and wWyAJ of characters, picking up items, and criticising (to myself of course) the practices and mannen of the people. Rushvllle, although It la much larger than the "city or Laurel, Is only as yet 'onoof tho town of Iiidlani." The latter haa prematurely assumed the "style and title" of 'city," and I was much disappointed when I got a light of it. Ruahville I found to be a belter town than I expected to tee. Tin buildings are pretty respectable and the rillsena make a very fair appearance. I waa in Rushvllle aome yeara ago when Gov. Bigger waaacltisen of this place, and I confeia I was not anticlpa ting Ita present lifo and progressive character. The old familiar facea of by gone yeara have chiefly passed away, or removed to other parts. Dr. William Frame I regretted to learn waa dead. In the prime of life he waa called to ...B J A mm. mm pass "tne nooos or Jorjan." . no was a good man, and left behind him the savour of a Chriatisn name. John W. Barber, too, is gone. He waa a noble example of a hospitable gentleman, and generous man. Hia aon Dn O. Barber ia now a worthy and successful practitioner in the place, and ranks high among the people as a gentleman and aa a Christian, Ueorgo B. Tingley, Esqr., la now a citi xen of California, while a aiater of hia, who I believe la a widow, still remains and is making dimti by selling whisky to all who may give her a call. A noble calling for a woman! Finley Mgger, Esqr., residea in Waahington city. where he enjoys a lucrative office under the present Administration. I heurd one of tno Citizen assert it as his belief, thst Mr. Bigger was Hargitt's dictator, on the Temperance question. Perhaps this gentleman waa mistaken. I am disposed to think so, as the Jacksoiilan man seems to be a fellow of hie own mind and is evidently about Jttetn yean behind the age, Tho citlxens of Rushvllle have exhibited a noble spirit la the cause of education, by establlshiog ono of tho fiuest "Union Schools" I have seen In Ohio or Indiana. A Mr, ChaueUlhc Principal

an excellent gentleman, and a finish

ed Teacher. I was well pleased in visiting the school, and must asy that I have never seen better order observed in any institution. This school I consider the most commendable feature in the character of Raahvi lie, and aa a lever of mental and moral elevation, will do more for the town than any of her other appliances. Rev. Mr. Stewaat ia the officiating minister in the Preabyterlan Church of Ruahville. Mr. S. has been laboring here for a good 'many years. He haa built up a good Church, and haa had a very respectable congregation. I regret to learn that aome of tho congregation are longing for a Paatoral change. What an exhibition of "Shady Side" ia there in the life of a Chriatian minister! Every aaint and ainner of earth, surely ought to read "Shady Side," but they wont the stingy are too mean to buv it, and the ignorant too atupid to read it I do not know that It ie any of my busi ness Mr. Editor, but as I was gathering facta as 1 moved round in my daily duties, I learned that the Methodist minister here is only allowed $340, to live on, besidca the Paatorage House. No wonder some talented minlatera would rather be Editore than Pastors! I have often wondered how such ministers liv ed, butperhsps I msy ssy I know some' thing about it since I have perused "Shady Side." Rushvllle ii tho residence of Hon. John L. Robinson, now State Marahal. Mr. R. is now in Washington, where rumor aava he has cone to secure the confirmation of his appointment, which it Is said, la somewhat doubtful. I have no doubt, however It will be confirmed. Thero Is now a fine prospect of tho completion of the Junction Road from Hamilton to thla place within the ysar 1834. That road made, Rushvillo will soon be a city, provided that land ownera don't run mad, and ask a dozen prices for lots and alranirers be frightened to settle elsewhere. I eaw a talented mlulster tho other day who waa making inquiry In regard to tho iwpply of tho Presbyterian church of your place. Have they obtalaed Pastor yctl If they have not, I would rocommend this gentleman. He Is iu perior I presume to any minister you have had lo any of your Churches for yeara ia a alngle man, and In the aer mon I heard him preach, was more elo quent than any man I have heard for years. He starts for Indianapolis this week, and I supposo will settle some where In the Far West. M. E. N. For the American.

To the People of Indianas ! Your Fellow Citizens, aliko inter

ested with you in all that concerns the adversity or prosperity of our btate, desire, in that spirit of kindness which should always characterize our conduct towards one another, to address you on the subject which has occasioned our assemblage to-day. It is useless, ntthis enlightened period of our history, to enter into a detail of the facts, or to cduco arguments to show tho enormity of evils arising from the manufacture and sale of intoxica ting liquors. The crime and misery which are its legitimate and absolute results are so apparent that no man of common reflection can deny their exis tence. The ere at question, then, and the one to which we especially direct your attention, is, "How shall this crime and misery be the most effectually banished from our State?' All know that every attempt to accomplish it by mems of license laws has failed. Indeed, it can no longer tw urged, as it was n few years ago, that the revenue derived from a license to sell intoxicating drinks is a compensation for tho mischiefs it inflicts, because our Legislature has already repudiated the idea that a Christian Government should receive the money as the prico of iniquity. The c (Torts of all the various associations for the promotion of Temperance (although they have done much good) have not been sufficient. Wo think, upon proper reflection, that all must bo forced to tho convic tion that it can ony be Jon$ by the enactment of a Prohibitory Law, and that such laws havo been successful, the most amnio testimony is furnUhed by tho experience of those IStAtei where they now exist. Ills established, beyond nil controversy, that tho effect of such laws has been to closo tho linnlinir houses -in a great measure to empty tho poor hou see of their inmatesto greatly lessen the nnmbcr of criminnls to reduce tho tnxci of tbe people at least one-third in amount -to reform hundreds ol In cbriatra, und to prevent thousands of tho riing gcncriiuon becoming urunk ards. When auch have been tho Inevitable reaulta of prohibitory Legislation In other States, why h-.ll not Indiana puriuo tho same course, and thus advanco all tho great interests which promote the prosperity and contribute to tho happiness of n peoplur The now Constitution of our State not only secures the right to enact such a law, but it enjoins it ns n duty on the law making power to do ao. It declares that tho government islnati tuti'd to secure tho pence, anfety and well-being of the J'eople, and that the Legislature shall "encourago, by all suitable means, moral and intellectual improvement," which can he done in no other way ao completely us bjr a prohibitory Liquor Law. So far as the Constitution of tho United States ia concerned, tho Su prcmo Court, that tribunal which set lies all questions arising under Its pro visions, haa already decided, in the following opinion expressed byJuJu'f Taney, that, "If any State deems the retail and internal trallio in ardent spirits injurious to its citizens, andcal culated to produce idleness, vice, or debauchery, I see nothing in the Con stitution of the United Slates to pre vent it from regulating or retraining the trafllc, or from prohibiting ttalto irether. if it think proper," Aa to tho right, then, thero can be no discussion. That is settled. Tho propriety and expediency of the law may, to some, bu n matter of in vesication: but. if so, the friends of tho measuro court that Investigation, consciutts as they are that not n in;lu argument, founded on Just views ofllie happiness and pi opei liy of tho people, can bo given against it. Vet, we are aware that many obitaelcs exist which must bo overcome before tho passage of auch a law can be secured. Prominent ninoiig these obstacles, are, 1st. existing prejudices nnd the alleged pecuniary interests of th engaged lit tho Liquor tralllc; and fd, thu present organization of political parties. mis to the First. Many of our most Industrious and well meaning citizens have been led to believe that such laws uro an Infringment of their personal rights, that their p'ovUiou mo such aa lopUco it in thu power of any person wlio may see proper to t-xeeutu it, to enter their pi mit houses and to muko search for and destroy any liquor which maybe found on thdr premises. This is not true Tho law relates to th$ munniieturt Mfe, ami nut its use. It provides, simply, for ita suppression, where it is kept for sale and used for inflaming the pition of thoso already addicted tu habiti ol intoxioation, una for creating auch habits iu the youth of the country. It can, even in euch cases, only be tuppressed by a warrant founded on n affidavit of three persons, that they hitw good reason to believe that it is so kept for siilu and u.ed, and to auch a procedure, for auch an object, who is there that can or that ought to object? It is alleged as it reason, by some, that, as there is a large amount ol capital invested in this trnllic, it would be a hardship on such persons to suppress it! This is not a bound objection. In a country like ours, where there are so many honorable pursuits, which give back to those engaged iu them the most ample reward lor their ellorts and labor, no ouu need remain idle one moment for want of employment, after the total annihilation ot the Liquor Traffic. Aside from this, however, the amount of money which thosowhoare thus engaged may wring from those whose families they reduce to beggary and starvation, is no reason why they should be permitted to inflict upon community the enormous crimes and misery which all know to result from their acts; but, on the contrary, it is the strongest possible rensou why it should be suppressed. As to the Second' For many years our people have been divided iuto two great political parlies, nnd recently, a third political organization has been brought into existence. Manyofthooe who me prominent in these organizations, whilst they admit the necessity of tho Legislative nclion we demand, ure funrtuilhat its agitation will injure the respective parties, to which they belong, This need not be; nor ia it our dosite that it should bo to. And yet, we know yf no ohj'-ct lobe cb'nincd by

either of our political pnrtiea higher and more tobe desired than tho sup

pression of tho Liquor Traffic, and for that reason are determined to make that result Me issue, above all mere party considerations, in the elections to take place- next October. A ins can De accompii.-nca turougu existing party organizations, without affecting the political power which they now maintain in their respective llepresentativc and Senatorial Districts in tho State. Tho mode of procedure recommend ed by the resolutions of this conven tion will insure this result, if carried out in good faith, as we ardently hope tuey may be. We are told by aomo of those cngaas .as i . f;ed in this tramc, that a prohibitory aw cannot be enforced in this Stale; and aome who prof est to bo aa good Temperance men, join in the assertion, In a country where tho (Supremacy of the Law is tho acknowledged sheetanchor of all our hopes for the permanency of our institutions, this assertion is au attack upon the character of those institutions themselves. That every single infringement of the law may not bo visited with its just and merited fiunishtncnt may be true; but such a aw will just as effectually be enforced as the laws, now in our criminal code are enforced. Such were the predic tions made in other Sutcs previous to the passage of Ihcte laws, but they have been enforced there, and they will be here when obtained. Look at the prospective result of the enactment of tho law, for which wo contend upon the well being of our State! W'li have 34,000 square miles of as rich and productive land as is to be lound in any country. Hero are as many inducements to labor and enterprize as exist in any State. The bless ings of health, as the country becomes more and more improved, are enjoyed to an extent equal to any portion of the Great West. Wo havo a school fund surpassing In amount that of many of our older foisicr oiates. we are engaged in tho construction of Railroads, (in almost every direction) which, when completed, will bear our rich productions to a more remunerative market limn has heretofore been expo riencud. Notwithstanding all this, however, there exists among us an appalling evil which brings blight, misery, crime and premature death to thousands of our countrymen; which fills our Jails and Penitentiaries Willi criminals; our Uo nevolent Institutions with the Idiotic nnd insane, and our 1'oor-houics with sutl'ering humanity. It Increases the taxes of tho citizen; it endangers tho life of the peaceable man as hu returns home from his ubor; it parly tes the hand that would otherwise add thou sand to tho wealth of the Btnto. Jn short, it brings nothing else than woes untold and innumerable,. and with it notone single good. The monster that does all this is Internment nc$, created as it is by the trallio in intoxicating Liquors. Why shall it not Do uuntsu ed from our land? Let it bo done, and look at tho great -rood to bo accomplished. It woul faciliiato the cultivation of the millions of acres now untouched by tho hus banlman; it would increase that health wo now possess; it would ena ble us to curry out our system of Free Schools, until, in a short time, there would be no one unublo to read nnd write; it would puh forward our Railroad enterprise to a more rapid completion; nnd it would empty our Jails and Penitentiaries. The vacant stare of the Idiot, and the wild yell of the Maniac, would bo less frequently seen and heard. No loiger would our children bu seduced from the paths of safely nnd of honor, to become tho most loathed of human beings, and no longer would tho wail of heart-broken wives of drunken husbands be heard in the land and the cries of their children starving for bread would bo huihed forever!

Unsolved, That the manufacture and aole ol intoxicating liquors aa a beverage stand as the fountain of the great vice of Intemperance, and open the streams that are sweeping thousands and tens of thousands to destruction- that tbe great army o! drunkard that now disgrace our land are the legitimate fruits ol such business, and a living exhibition of the character of ita deeds. Resolved, That from the efforts heretofore exerted unparalellcd in the history ol any moral reformation-we had hoped that, a blow had been given to intemperance which would have prostrated it forever. Dut to counts ract all the moral force which haa been brought to bear upon it, upon almost every atreet, highway and by way, throughout our Slate, stsnd the rallying points of intemperance, claiming and receiving protection from the law. A law which we believe to be not only at war with the beat interest! of tho people, but contrary to the express provision of tho Constitution of our Stato which enjoins upon the General Assembly to encourage by all suitable means moral and intellectual improvement, end wholly In opposition to the wishes of a large majority of the people of the State.

Resolved, That aa Intemperance ia the I scourge ol our land the lountain of crime the source of untold social and political evila the ever present foe of human happiness, invading alike the cottage of the poor and tho princely home of the wealthy robbing tho Pul pit the Dar, the Dench and the Forum of their brighest ornaments, and by corrupting the purity of the L'Uctivo Fran chise, endangering the stability, if n t the very exlstenco of our free Institution. Thcrelore, it becomes the duty alike of the Patriot, the Philan thropist and the Christian to unite their efforts to accomplish iu utter overthrow.

I wish I could toll the story as ho tells It; but it is so good, and, In my opinion, toadies so admirable a lesson to u all, that I venture to hopo it may fin J a plate In your pages, even In the shape In which I hall attempt it.

A triumphant retreat is already anticipated, but aa tho little band drawa noarto the breach horrors! it is discovered to be in possesion of a sturdy servsnt-mr n of Mr. D., supported by a huge bamboo, and retreat by any other pass is out of tho question. Stomachs, probably, remained in statu quo but all other engines of transport are quickly relieved of their burdens the invaders draw nearer to the breach, intend! ng to mako a rush j but are informed by the sturdy guard, that "Mr. Dow doin is in tho parlor, and wishes to see tho young gentlemen."

At length Mr. E. pulled out his watch, and said: 'Sly good rounz friends, I recret that I have an appointment. I should hate been happy to prolong this visit. I hope to bsve the pleasure of seeing you again.

Add sufficient water to bring It to tho consistence of wbite-wasb. Now to make this a pleasing cream color add four pounds yellow oere.
