The Chanticleer, and kindred whisky prints, are giving currency to the following from UunCt Merchant's Magazine, a3 conclusive evidence of the failure of tho Maine Law. It bears tspon its face its own refutation. It has been repeatedly and successfully contradicted by men of known veracity, who are not ashamed or afraid to append their names to what they testify. Ia this tissue of falsehood the witnesses are "others" whose names are withheld, simply because no rain of veracity dare append his name to such statements. One John Neal fathered similar statements last winter, which brought upon him such deserved rebuke from his own neighbors that no -one who respects his reputation, dares try it again. Hence, as in this article, "others" "one of the police" are made to testify. Give us the names of these knowing ones, Mr. Hunt. They ought not be ashamed of their name, if their testimony is
true. Not only have the statements and inueudocs cf the following been repeatedly disproved by men of veracity, but the statements refute themselves. It id enough to fasten the lio upon ull such fabrications, to know that the rumsellers of Maine are yet trying to repeal this "worthless law," while the temperance men are equally intent on preserving it. Such folly ean no where be found except among the liquor sellers of Indiana, who are nearly dead with fear let the temperance men of Indiana shall ruin the temperance cause by enacting a sim

The party opposed, are well organized and drilled, so exting times may bo expected. On Monday the House went into committee on the Nebraska Bill. Mr. Stevens, of Ga,; moved to strike out the enacting clause, announcing his intention to cut off all the amendments and having the bill reported to the House at once and 'voted on, as time enough had now been wasted discussing tho subject. This caused great excitement. Gentlemen declared this course was a violation of the right of the minority. Mr. Stephen's motion was agreed to yeas 103, nays 22, many of the minority refused to vote Mr. Richardson moved tho previous

BQUArnra sovEREiGimr. THE LIE EXTC5ED. Our readers are aware that the pretext of tho pro-slavery party, in repealing the Missouri Compromise, is to give the citizen of that territory the right to make their own laws. The falseness of this position has been exposed, and it lias often been shown that the real design is to legalize the slavery that is already there, and to furnish inducements to slaveholders to emigrate. But henceforth no same
man can make this plea. The vote
of The HVmse last Saturday shows
conclusively that the intent of this bill of iniquity is to fasten alavery upon
that lovely land, whether tho sovereigns want it or not. Take the fol
lowing from the proceedings of Saturday:
Mr. Jace offered an amendment.
that the territorial government shall
have the power to admit or exclude slavery at any time by law. Mr. Inglish I would ask mv col
league whether, if the amendment
wouldbe adopted, he would vote for the bill? Mr. Mace I will. Mr. Inglish Then I will vote for the bill. The amendment was rejected.
Yeas 76, nays 94. Mr. Fuller offered
tho following: 'The legislature shall
have the power to admit or exclude
slavery, as to them shall seem prop
er." lie said, as aNational Dem
ocrat he should like to vote for the bill, but would not, unless bis amendment wouldbe adopted. In the spirit of kindness he asked his friends, who stood by him in the Thirty first Congress, to yield n little
to Northern feelings.
Mr. Riddle said he was opposed to
the amendment, and it was rejected
yeas 75, nays 91.
Thus, twice on the same day, have
lovers of squatter ssvereignty refused to allow the citizens of those territories
to exclude slavery if they chose. Let
freeman read and let them determine
whether they will be driven like south
em slaves under the lash of party
managers to acquiesce in this bill of doubtful
abominations.

Jiffersonville, Jtfayü, 1853. Hoop Pole, Brown co., Ind.,) May 10, 1C54. J Mr. Editou: When I had the pleasure of seeing you here a short time ago you requested me to furnish an occasional article for your paper, descriptive of the habits, sayings, and doings of the elite or vppcr-tendom of Hoop Pole.
I presume, my dear sir, that our people are types or later editions und reproductions of thousands that have gone before. The codfish or parvenu aristocracy hen jr very similar to the 8am e class ii. "Loolrville or any other village, for i"1 tovtnj are infested, or blessed, (ns you .please,) with this class of people. They consist of the children of parents who by hard knocks have made a little money, given them a little education, and quartered thcrn upon mankind with their heads chock full of tho idea that it is a disgrace to work, and a virtue to despiso all who do. But that you may judgo of us and comparo us with others of our class, I must give you a history of our manners, customs, thoughts, and habits, religious, social, nnd political. Hoop Pole, you must bo aware from your own observation, is a growing and prosperous town, which, from present
HisiiviLix, May 14, 1854. Dear Goodwin: The present, ,in many respects, is becoming a most remarkable age. The old wheel ruts of former days are being obliterated a smooth track is aC'orded for all travelers, and everybody don't now, as formerly, "turn to the right as the law directs." .Some go straight ahead 5ome lake one side, and some take the other, and as the road is Clk-d up with one sort and another, there must necessarih be a good deal of clashing.
and crossing of tracks. It is hard telling where all the folks will land. I think there will be a mighty muss eomcwhere along the lines. Preachers are everywhere speaking out on "Nebrasky," and lecturing on Temperance, ana Politicians are reading homilies to thcTreachcrs to keep them straight, and the People are really becoming excited, and the pros(ect now is, in the estimation of at east an immortal few, that the preachers will stand as used used up men. Why, sir, even the Hon. (?) John L. Uobinson has come out "agin" the preachers, and the other day he mad a speech in this town that must result in giving his name (over the left) to Fame's immortal story. John, you know, began public life, with some show of virtue, as a Proclaimer of the everlasting gospel, and thus early he took a distaste to Methodist circuit riders. Well sir, since the 3000 clergy protested "in the name of Almighty God" against the Nebraska Bill, and since so many of the preachers have come out in favor of a prohibitory liquor law, and since John has been confirmed as Marshal of the State and has no favor to ask at the hands of tho people, he has pitched into the "itinerant clergy" with a vcangcancc. Some folks thought he was hard upon poor Freeman, but I tell you all that

Appealing to farmers, he eaid, "Are you willing for theso preachers to govern you? they svant to govern you and the countryl" "The clergy," said he, "have always, whenever they havo interfered with political affairs, brought about a stato of anarchy and despotism." Asa sample of thc ignorance ef the man, and tho malico of his heart against the "itinerant clergy," I add a few more "elegant extracts." tola the farmers that "if the liquor law passes they must make nor.der or wine pull up'their vineyard'j Rnd cut down your orchards. These vandals and baroanaiw wish bi dvive through
your very streets and destroy all the improvements of tho working, m;osill men of the country." "These itinerant clergy," sp.id he, "are the malign evil spirits of the times." "Theso preachers," he remarked, "are committing a fraud upon tho people In their advocacy of a prohibitory law." Again, "It is natural for theso men, when they get it -into their noddles that they are wiser than other men, to be impudent and saucy." And again, ia his abiue of Method ist preachers, ho rcccommcnded bis democratic and whig friends to "htop tho funds of their preachers starve

They dress in tho very tip-top of the fashion, following with great accuracy every delineation of the newest modo their dresses always of tho richest stulTs. And hero is the great distinction between them and tho old fogies: they always come to church after the services have begun, and at that particular juncturo when they can bo seen to the best advantage by the whole congregation; thus showing by their example to tho greatest possible number, tnnt they patronize thc church, and that to go to church is a thing proper to bo done This conduct is very annoying to thc old fogies but who cares? it is plenty good enough for them; let them come out and join tho progressives. 'Well, tho ultras, who uro really tho shadows of the "first ladies," follow close in the footsteps, and come after tho first praver. In fact nearly nil the lirst chiss Christians follow theso very excellent examples.
