rniDAT nx- u, isu. SZr SIXOLE COPIES of the IXDIAXA AMERICAN csn be had at ibis offlee, neatly enveloped und prepaid with atamps, at five ctntt ach. Now that it begins to do good work, we venture to apologize to our readers for haying goto to the expense of procuriagit. We might, indeed, have asked their pet mission, but we intend ed, for once, to do os we pleased. But now that the deed is don, hear our reasons for doing it, and then con demn or aquit, just as you please we don't care ft copper which. I3CKCAIE I.t CIRCCtAttOM. In, the first place, the number of papers we hare to issue every week is already too great to bo worked off on an ordinary band press, and there has been manifested such a disposition to make it still greater, that we intend to be ready to accommodate air that up ply. By the way, we have Uen a little amused of late, at the anxious inquires of some our friends about our circulation. They tyd heard that it was dwindling down at an alarming rate. This is a great mistake Wc not only print a larger edition than when wo took charge of the paper, but a Urge r edition than Mr. Chirkson evcrprintcd, except for the few months that ho was filling out the year of the Ripley County Whig. True we have lost many sub scribers, but not as many aa wc expec ted to, when we entered upon our du ties. We could not expect to retain all of the warm personal friends of such a man as our predecessor. W did not expect to retain all of the po litieal friends of ono who, for more than twenty years, had been their or acle, and the expounder of their faith. Yet, very many of thoso remain, to our astonishment and gratification, our firm and devoted friends. Again, while Mr. Clarkson U, wo think, ft more ultra temperance man than we are, aa the question waxed warmer, and tho business of the liquor sellers would bo moro likely to be stopped, vre expected their opposition. In this, wo are happy to say, we have not been disappointed. Dut, on the other band, those who arc tired of tho heavy taxes they pay to these men, and of the ruin they cause, hate subscribed liberally, and we hare ;ct to leajn that the people of this valley will support us the less cordially because wa oppose tho liquor traffic. . Asaia-Jlr. Cjaikson had iuadrert- . tntly, and, as he aisureduMtnnisfly, let many persons have the paper at reduced prices, -at prices that can not pay. Wo expected ninny of these to discontinue, rather than pay ure n a dollar and a half. MAny of them hate, nnd yet many more, who wish not only to live, bat to Id live), nobly and cheerfully continue. Tho other day a wealthy farmer who had just aold hit wheat at 81, SO, discontinued, be ciuse we would nut let him have the paper at 1 0, payable at tho end of six months! Ilo has a good frm, and eight children, but ho can get ft Cincinnati paper for a dollar, and ho ha no interest in keeping up hii own pap?r. Noble wan, he! But, notwithstanding all these, and Home other influences, our subscription Hit has increased instead of diminished. This rendered ft Tower Press necessary. Do you blame us? E.UAKUEMEXT. Not only has our subscription list , increased, but our advertising patronage has alio increased. This renders a larger sheet necessary. Intending to enUrgo At tho end of tho present volume, (about the 20th of December) a new press was necessary, and we therefore choso to get it now, and to get ft Powvr Prwss. Do you bltma us! joa wonK. It required so much time to do the press work of our office by a hand press, that w had to rafuse ft great deal of job work. This waa painful, for we love to accommodate our friends if possible. We ran now do this. Under present arrangements we can get off a job 4 little quicker and just a neat, if not. a little neater than at any office in the valloy, and a great deil cheaper. Try us. PATRONAGE, , Now you may d jut as you please about patronizing u. If th American, with all its faults, (and it has enough of them,) is worthy of your support, we er ronGdent that it will recieveit, without our taking off our hat or s.tying "ple.ue sir." You want an independent paper, ami you expec au independent editor. ' Ww need not defin? onr position on any question. Wo have been long enough in the chair for every reader to form ft pretty good idea of the rourse we intend to pursue. Wc will only a;y that we publish a paper for the people and uot for any party, or for any set of men. By this course we expect to losf the cordial support of tho "who want to u; the pnprr for eelfish ends. But we do expect, that men who Hare t- thir-k for themselves will support us. So far, we have been cheered by repeated assurnnces of approbation by nun of ail parties. They are heartily tired of tawing tho neck to the party yoke, and they are gild

to find paper that will spenk the truth. Of course we do not expect the patronage of those who prefer a dullar weally, printed off from some old city dailies, filled with puff of theatres, ihows &e. But mcrr who loro their county nnd its interest, will be pvoud of our paper nnd subscribe for it.

STW LIQUOR LAW IN OHIO. Oathc 18th of last month, the Sentnoof Ohio pab-d a bill to provide against tho evils resulting from the sale of intoxicating drinks, by ft vote of 10 to 11. On Friday, the bill pas sed the House, yeas 55, nays 20, and s now a law. The bill exempt! wine manufactured of the pure juice of the grape, culti vated in Ohio, nnd also ale, beer, and cider, from the general ban which It pronounce ag-ainu intoxicating liq uors. The bill makes it unlawful to poll intoxicating liquors, in any quantity whatever, to bo drank inor anywhere in tho neighborhood of the premises where sold and ' declares all such places to be common nuisances, and all rooms, taverns, vating-houit, ba tsars, mtaurents, groceries, coffee houses, eellars, or other place of pub lie resort, where intoxicating liquors are cold in violation of tho law, shall bo shut up, and abated at publio nuis ances, and the keeper thereof, pun Whedbyftfin of net less than $60, t a a t nor more than oiuu, na do impris oned in the county jail, not less than SO nor more than CO days, and the places so kept and so declared nuisan ces, shall ho shut up and abated upon the order of the Court, until bond and security be given that intoxicating liq uora shall no longer be there sold, A'C, fcc, Any person who shall sell liquors as above or who shall sell to minors, unless upon the written order of their parents, guardian or family physician or sell to persons intoxicated, or who are in the habit of getting intoxicated shall be fined a sum not less than $20 nor more that! 660, od be im prisoned ia the county j iil for not less than ten nor more than thirty days, and pay the costs of prosecution. The giving away of liquor, or any other shift or deed to evade the law, ahal be punished the same as the above. Section makes it unlawful for any person to get intoxicated, and every person violating this sectiou shall be fined fire dollars and imprisoned in the county jail not more than three nor less than one day, and pay the eost of prosecution. Tho succeeding ue tion provides that every per eon who by the sale of intoxicating liquor?, shl causo the intoxication of another per son, shall he liable for, ami compellod to pay n reasonable compensation to any person who may tako charge of the intoxicated persons and ono dollar per day in addition for every day auch person shall be kept, incumcqucncu of such intoxication, to be recovered in a civil action before any court of competent jurisdiction. Another fiction provide that every wife, child, parent, guardian, employer or other person who shall bo injured in person or in property, or mtuns of support, by any intoxicated person, or in consequence of the iatoxication, habitual or otherwise, of any person shall have it claim of action in hi or her own names, againt tho seller of the intoxicating drinks, as well as exemplary damages; and ft morried woman shall hare tho right to commence suits, ic. A lien for the payments of fines is given upon tho real estate or personal property f the violator, and no exemption is allowed t'VtQ the bed he sleeps upun may bt taken in discharge of the line The owners of houses rented for liquor-selling, and if the owner be ft minor then the guardiau, are bound for damages. Great exactness in thu proof is dispensed with, tad there is no chance of escape by t-vbnicalitiea in the law. The net proceeds of fines go into the School Fund. It) addition to the abate, the Cm. Enquirer gives th following. Thro cheer for the Enquirer! DOWN OS LID WmsXYl Ono of the general laws which the late Legislature passed will work bard uponaomoof the "ba-i whisky" makers and sellers! Wj have not been provided with a copy of it, buthave a synopsis of it at our band, which will give our readers and all iotreite J parties a fair and, we suppose, a correct idea of its featuros. We are indebted to the Cleveland Leader, of Friday last, fur th detail. 1st. The act provides that the Tro bat? Judge shall appoint a competent Chemist for th county, whose duty , itshall be to inspctand anyliseall liq uorsofTered for aale, at wholesale or retail, and pronounce upon their purity or adulteration. 2d. That no liquor shall be fold unless it has been inspected, and pronounced unadulterated by the County Chemist, whose seal i the evidence of Inspection; or the ingredients and properties ufed to make adulterated liqnors must bo rxj'ed by On- inspector, so hi to prevent fraud and impojti.vi on the consumer. 3d. Any liquor ottered for sale, which are not inspected, are liabli to seizure and destruction, and th owner to fine and imprisonment 4tb. It adulterated liquor is placed in a yesnel which bear the inspector's

seal of having once contained a pure article, tlioowucr urpusou comutiting

These, saya the Leader, urc the ending features of the law. "The a a a provisions are backed up by severe penalties. The law in very impor tant one. The community suS'er enormously from the horrid concoctions of deleterious nnd poisonous drugs, which compose the major part of al coholic liquors kept for inla In this State. Very little brandy or wine Is unadulterated. Very few have any idea of the extent to which druggiog liquors is carried, or tho amount of in jury inflicted thereby on the health of tho silly fools who swallow the mis erable compound. The affect of the law, if enforced, will be to raise the price of liquors, and consequently reduce its consumption."This law, all will admit, U very strtneent And searching one. It is ft a . more efficient one, by far, than what is called the TtmjJtrana law; will be more generally executed, and will do good. It will strike ft heavy blow At poison-making, poison-vending and poison-drinking, and must thereby ncc CBsnrilytfloct ft great deal of good in Ohio. One of our most learned nnd expe rieneod physicians and professors re mHikcd to us a few weeks since, that thu disease called mania a yotu and dtlirum tremen$t now so common and so fatal to intemperate persons, were modern diseases, which were not known in the practice until After tho adulturation of liquors and the man ufacture of stimulant poisons were en gagea in this country. They are the fruits of excesses in drinking bad vhit ky; for most of our common brandies and Irish liquors are buteorn or bar ley whisky mixed with drugs. The existence of this lw will be unweicome nctri in some quarters, while its execution will be joyful in trlügence to community. TzxrE&AirczLAwim omo. In another column will be found a synopsis of two laws now in force in Ohio in it Terence to intoxicating liq uoro. We have t ot seen thu laws in detail and can not tell how mauy week piaces they may have, that will nuhfy them. Dut, if the Uws nre wall guar ded in those elections that itlato to tnforcemtnt, Ohio may be said to have adopted the Maim Law. It will be seen that seiiure and destruction stau outagainst adulterated liquor, which, aa every body knows, include nearly nil that is aold as a beverago. We predicted this result la tt fall even while the rummies were crowing over tho defeat of tho Maine Lhw men We had learned from a reliablo source that a very large majority of the leg Mature was pledged to "a wholesome law, restricting the sale of liquors as it beverftjro." We hope this, law may prove to bo euch. We learn that already the taverns and groceries in the country have gen erallvta&en down their bars. In the larger places the liquor sellers wil combine to resist the law by testing ita constitutionality and by buying up the officers. BOTOX'S BTiirj. We give ft part of this great speech, tiiis week And promise the balance next. Head it every body, and then preserve it for your children. 13 ut, poor Benton! he bss been ex-communicated, or he has withdrawn for fear of ex-communication, from the great Democratic party, because he will not support every measure of the office holders end office seekers. Well'misery love company," as the poet saith, and Denton will find himself in a large crowd, in less than two years. The intelligent of the "rank tnd file" feel, with Benton and others, that hard is the fatoof party fealty," and they are unwilling to be driven like mere 'slaves, to support every measure of their would be masters, whether their judgments and consciences approve it or not. So, tuke courage, you who Abominate the trickery of party leaders, and speak and Act like men. You will find that ex-coramuoleation ia not ao dreadful After nil. T0OBAD.

TEE PRESIDCTTS TETO MESSAGE. President Pierce ho vetoed the bill j to douato u fraction of the public do-j

main for the benent t the indigent! Insane. Principles .nre involved by this i Course of the President, which must at once put n new phase on several of the proposed measures now before tho two Housc of Congress. Wc cannot see why thin bill should bo vetoed us unconstitutional," when it is thought by the same persons who condemn tho measure, to be constitutional to make grant of publio land to railroad com panies. To apportion out the public nude to settlers, and pass various other bill of the same constitutional character, which have sot brvu vetoed by Mr. Pierce. If it ia right nnd proper to give tho public land to certain party influence, if it is constitutional, why is it not equally so to make provision for tho support of the indigent insane? Thi ground taken by Mr. Pierce is certain ly uncalled for, and we think indefensible when carried out in detail. If we are not misinformed, the President assumes the unconstitutionality of the bill upon the plea that such appropria tions by tho federal government would be invading the province of State Legislation. If tho passage of this law by Con gress had involved thu rights, interests or privileges of any St.tte, or had been oppressive on any one, or the whole of them, the caho would have been differ ent. Uut there is ft VASt amount of land belonging to the general government, and of eoursc, to the Aggrega ted States, a part of which i asked to bo donated to ft common interest. which is granted by the two Houses of Congress, but the Presideut, finds it unconstitutional, and heneo vetoes it. It appears to us that Mr. Pierce belongs to the ultra kchool of Democrats, and he is trying by all means to effect certain ends for party purposes. It might have been hoped, and was by many, that the "poplar President," seeing the cerdial support given him by the American people, would have adopttd a more liberal, humane and just policy, that would have served to strengthen the bonds of the union, and not devote his influence to opening old party issues. That he is tiuctured with the ideas of the old nullification party's evident enough from his recent acta We aak pardon of the various be nevolent men who have contributed to the amusementof our eitixens recently, for not noticing them earlier. First canto "The Ox Horn Band." These exhibited to a faithful tie, one or two nights, week before last. They did not get enough, we ore informed, to pay expenses. Thia is unpardonable in our citixeus who are beginning to put ou city airs. Patronise every catch-penny concern that comes along if yoa wont to be rttptctahle. No difference what becomes of your free schools. By the way wo cannot decide as to tho merits of these Ox Horns, for some say it is not agood as Gardner's Brass Band, fcorau say itis not as good, and some say ilia better. Then came the Hippodrome, ono of the veriest impositions of the day. Wc have not heard any man who witness' ed it apeak well of it, yet it was pat ronixed by several hundred, most o whom paid moro for the shows, that day, than they pay annually for state county aud school taxes. Wo were particularly pleased to see but few from that part of the county where the good schools and good farms are. 2?o doubt the concern spent more money here than it received, officially. The pick Dockets that accompany them, made a few good hauls, but it is not certain that these persona are connected with the establishment so as to divide the profits with the proprietors. Borne lost, we understand several hundred dollars, by having their pocket pick ed. We take pleasure in recording the failure of this humbug, axd regret only that what money they did get, eame chiefly from thoso who could 0 poor' ly spare it from the feeding, clothing, and education of their children. Lei tho moral and industrious portion o community continue to set their faces against such swindlers and they wil quit imposing on the young and unex periencod. Then came the infamous Yankee Robinson, who swindled the city o Indianapolis out of license by adverti sing for ft concert and throwing in the play, us whisky eellers sell a cracker and throw ia the whisky, and who was arrested in Liberty on seven indict ments for violating the l&wi of Indiana, and at whose show a woman was kill ed a few weeks ago at Liberty. We are told that his performance wat too low to ba coutemptib!e-it was really disguating, and several decent women that were inveigled to the performance by the fame of Uncle Tom's Cabin wer so mortified at the vulgaritie, that they wished to leave long before the periorm.ince was over. But we must not say anything nbout it for they say that Robinson don't like our course and tbatwe will be broken up if we don't Advertise for every swindling company, and then puffthera to boot. On Dit: The word At Indianapolis is, that Rev. W. M. Daily, D. D. has come out openly in favor of the Nebraska Bill. From his antecedents we will deny the rumor until we have some proof.

Itnre If uo naelnl Ilerelpla. j A friend in Boston has recently sent! us u book which eontaim ome queer j

It would probsbly be ft violation of the copy ' light to make lengthy extracts, and particularly to convey to tho world the information that gives Ms Wine and Spirit Zftrchnntt cvmpanion iti peculiar value. We venture the following however; riot giving the proportions; which may save us from prosecution. We will only add, that inuocate will we reveal the proportions to uny ou who is at all likely to use the receipts.

W are glad to find the press speak ing out against the iniquitous proceed ings of the court and jury that set the cold-blooded murderer, Ward, out upon an unprotected community. Even the Louisville Journal has been compelled to condemn, in part, the course pursued. TheLuuisville Democrat, has, from the firat, spoken out feorlesly: In a late cumber it says: We have beea denounced tor the nildefit notice ot this case heretofore. We were told to wait for the regular course of justice. Well, we have had the regular course of justice we have had law ami order; and what baa law and order done!

Thejwholo case and the testimony will be laid before the publio, as well aa the testimony excluded by tho court. The court would admit no testimony about the whipping In school but It was indirectly brought in by the defence, and cut a figure In the speeches. The prosecution was ready to have annihilated all that could be said on thst paint by overwhelming proof, but It was shutout. The deceased was not tobe assailed a pledge promptly given, but not redeemed. The friends of the deceased wilt sse to It that this subtorfuge shall not avail ths living, nor Injure the dead.

this paper that odium will 'attach throu life to the "volunteers" in the Ward defence. The evidence of (he truth of thia statement accumulate. At Madison on the evening of May nd, a public meeting was held in rcfercuce to the Ward acquittal. The Rev. James Brown addressed the meeting, in tho course of which he gavo a biographical skotch of W. II. 0. Butler. Mr. Brown knew Butler from his childhood until he was murdered. Mr. Rankin aho addressed the meeting, and alluded briefly to the numerous social and other virtues of tho deceased, after which 6. 0. Daily offered the following resolution, which he urged in a speech of much force nnd eloquence: Utiohtd. That this meeting request the Board of Directors of the Jefferson County Agricultural Fair to withdraw their invitation to Gov. Crittenden to 'deliver the address ut the next Annual Fa'r of Jefferson county. The action of. Qov, Crittenden in tho Ward case, having volunteered his services, and prostituted his great tal ents in an unworthy cause, vis: the overruling of public justice, which has occurred since tho invitation was given, is deemed ft sufficient excuse, if one is necccssarv,- for this public withdrawal of that invitation.
