NEBRASKA -MEETING. Hon. Tom Smith will address his fellow citizens of Franklin county, cn Thursday, Oct, 5th at 2 o'clock P. M. Although the public mind U well aatisfied that the repeaT of tho missouri coapromiio line, and the consequent pining of the f.ee territory of Kansas to alavery, U one of the peatet frauds ever perpetrated in this nation, jet it will pay to hear "Tom the Tanner" "The old Democratic War Horn." "The Expelled Traitor," lay opn that fraud. He his a way of his own, and thosa who hear him will Hit wonder that Hon J. L. Robinson j ud Hon J. D. Bright managed so tiroitly to give him the slip. They Ur not meet him. Come fellow cltUeaa, you who dare think for yourhItcs. Come, you Democrats, that wer horrified at the proposition until you heard Pierce. Douglas, Bright, efc Co., had baptiied it Democracy. Coma you whoso jadgmenti were with the majority of tie Northern Democrat! of the House, who opposed tho Mil. Come and see whick fragment of the once united Democracy you will rote with, that which wishes to national! slavery and encourage its tprad.or that portion who adhere to the doctrioea of Jefferson and Monroe, end Jackson and Van Buren and Tolle, that it can and ought to be restricted. Old Whig may come. All freemen may eome. Those who arc afraid to think until they hear from Dr. Berry, or tome one of the leaders, may us well atay away. They won't let you vote at you want to, and henco it will be a day lost. Hon a W. Parker, is also expectd. THE CHOPS. So far as we hare been able to form aa opinion from all the sources of information that have fallen in our way, we make up the following summary: Gaisi a so Hat. Throughout the United States, the yield of hay was.in taany place superior and in few places Inferior, and cn the whole a good yield, and owing to unusually good weather it was generally saved in good order. Oats. 'The oat crop never was bet ter Granted, yet oats are this day learee in market. It is true the oat crop waa good, but at corn is not, and buckwheat a great failure, and root crops nowhere good, except in small, isolated districts, the farmers arc holding back oats fof their own uic, not for a rise. Caas We have heretofore set down the production of corn at less than two thirds what it would have been if wo had felt no material drouth this summer. In part of Iowa, in Northern Illinois and Northern Indiana, and small part of Michigan.thc corn crop is good, though late accounts represent the drouth, notbefore prevalent, auhortening the cars in all the three last named States. In part of Missouri, in Central Illinois, on the lower Wabash and in the south part of Indiana, in some of the best com counties of Tennessee, in Wettern Virginia and Western Pennsylvania, in some of the northern eounties of Ohio in all these, if we can believe universal testimonythere is not half a usual crop of corn. In other portions of those Gutes, in the South-western States, in New-York, in New-England, and the south Atlantic States, will any man contend that the averago yield of corn this year is equal to two-thi rds of the production pcracre.ofan average year, in any ten? But we do believe that with proper economy, and if corn is not wasted in feeding, andworre than wasted in distilling, and with no foreign demand, there will bo a good supply, and no occasion for extravagant prices. But as the total yield is undoubtedly short of the usual average, it is a most solemn duty, which every good man will practice to economizo its use, so that there will be no occasion to ask exororbitant prices, or withhold corn from the poor. WniAT.-It is conceded that the wheat crop throughout tho Union is a fair one, and that there is not now, nor will be, any foreign demand. We do not believe that present prices will be maintained through the teason unless mills are unable to grind on account of failure of water. Of the whole wheat crop, it may bo aa:d, there will be "bread enough and to spare." BucxwnxAT. This crop is undoub tedly a failure generally.

TEST ASD MOBTOK. The speeches of these gentleman last Saturday were listened to with much interest by a Inrc number of citizens. We would Jove to give an outline of them, but our limits will not allow. They showed most conclusively that the bill organizing the new territories docs n-d confer any unusual political rights except the right to in troduce slavery in teiritory now free. They showed also, that even'Dojglas 1 Imsclf had regarded the boundary line as constitutional and right that ho was tho prime mover in extending it through Texas and New Mexico, and that it was new thought that i was superseded by' tho compromises of 1850, in ono of which it was virtually re-enacted. They showed also that the first fusion party was in Congress, when the southern Whigi und Dem ocrat, united almost to a man in the support of it, and that a majority of the northern Democrats in the Home was opposed to it even on its final pas- ... sac. x et Unas been maao a test oi Democracy in the North, hy Bright and Douglas, who are slaveholders, and those whom they can control. We wish they could have been heard by the entiro county.

Don'lbe astonished, reader It can bo proved! A gentleman, of veracity said, the other day, that he could profc it without going out of Brookville. We have not the least doubt of it. There are more thin twelve men some of them office-holders, and offirc-scck-er, thit us firmly believe it, as they be lieve that we are a liar, and they refrain from proving it ly certificates, only because they do not think it necessary to tho success of the party. Yet we would not bo astonished to see n column of certificates on that subject before the election. Tho appellations of liar, hypocrite, slanderer, hyena, tc, having wholly failed to accomplish the ends designed, something'must be done or said to provo that liquor selling' u right that drunkards will make good officers, that slavery is a divine insti tution and cannot go into Kansas, and that the Catholics are the true conscr vatorsof civil and religious liberty. Locfc out for tho certificates. We hope they wont prove that we areamurder er too, and all atone time. We could not stand so much at once. Better give it to us in broken doses. A MtEUESSl UCr.STlOX. We hope we will not bo counted meddlesome because we suggest that it might help the Dr. in his arduous labor of love, as he attempt to con vinco the free voters of this county that the best interests of Democracy, and of the country in general, and of the office holders, and their legitimate successors in particular, require them to vote for tho 'regular nomination,', to take along a few copies of the Young Hickory. Take those numbers particularly, that prove" Goodwin n liar, and that one, also, that proves him n horsc-lhicf, if that gentleman has got his dozen names ye!:. It would be impossible to prove, any other way, that the Know Nothings intend to kill all tho foreigners and drive the balance back to tho "old country;' or to prove that squatters, in Kansas, who can't vote for tho President, who appoints their Governor, Judges, Marshals, Secretaries, &c., who can't even have a Representative' in Congress, tho so called representative not being allowed to vote who can't have even a 'dele gate' in the senate are sovcreigns.This would be nn easy way also to provo that slavery can't go there, and, if it docs, it is a divine institution. In short, it is the easiest and the only way to prove that the ticket composed o men who have been in office, time out of mind, or who are the regular sue cesors of tho faithful, chosen weeord ing to the "established usage" of the gentlemen, who fcit on cushioned chairs in the "little brick," have an undoubt cd right to tho patronage and support of the people.

. j. hi. it , . - Toose who are courting Ca tbohc influence and who have gone pV-og the foreigners in this county, 'representing Tßosti who are courting Ca tbohc in the. Ki N. movement an! one dsiiAed to disfranchise all foreigners, roJ either klir them or drive them out of the county, have produced n intense excitement among them..' And now, that they arc carrying Bowie Knives, find threatening thelfves of theirneighbos, these fellows coolly stand off and charge the excitement on the protestant Americans who refuse to be led any . longer, by a set of .office . seekers who arrange every politicle progiame to suit the Jesuits and Catholics of this county. It is strange indeed, that American citizens, native and foreign, may not combine to resist such aggressions upon their rights, without arraying an armed opposition. The movement does not contemplate wresting a single privilege from any for eigner not even Catholics. It contemplates only rebuking those partisans, whether Whigs er Democrats, that court catholic influence to the exclusion of protestants. And, for this, the Catholics threaten to attend the polls armed for a fight. No wonder. They have been told by those who are courting them, that Romanists are the only true conservators of civil and re ligious liberty, and they havo had their own way in this county so long, (they have beyond question held and exercised the balance of power for twelve years,) that they now threaten to use tho Romanist argument on all who refuse to allow them to rulo longer. Who is responsible for this state of things? Most manifestly those who have produced the excitement by their misrepresentations of the, true design of the American movement, and they w'Ubo held responsible by an indignant people. . RIOT AVTICIPATXD. The pandcrcrs to Catholics that go out from town to make speeches, have so frightened the Germans in Highland township, that they intend tt go to the polls armed, aud prepared to defend themselves against the murder ous Know Nothings! At a funeral, a few miles south of Brook ville, last week, several Germans attended, armed with Bowie Knives, . fearing the K. N's. would be there to kill some of them. Men who will misrepresent the notions of their fcllaw citisens, who design only to rebuke the panderers to Romanism, ought to be held guilty of whatever blood may be spilt by those whom they have excited, merely to secure their vo'es. We are sure that Protestant foreigners and native Ameri cans will rebuke th;m at the ballot box. Men who can not be elected to office without exciting our foreign fel low citizens to such a pitch, against the natives of the soil will not be elected at all. . : Scheel Sleeks In Indiana. It is a mistake that the Superintend ent of Public Instruction has recom mended a change in school books. He hasmerely recommended addition al books for higher schools.

An American citizen, living some four miles south of Brookville, just in the edge of Highland township, who has always voted tho Democratic tick et, having signified his intention not to do so thi. year, has been called a Know Nothing, and much nnuoyedby his German neighbors.

XiTOur friends will regret. to learn that John Armstrong, the liquor sel ler, of Metamern, has followed the example of Dr. Giflbrd, the druggist, of Laurel, and fused with tho "Old Liners," because they nre not in favor of searching suspected places and destroying the good critter. jCT It is believed that the unpopular ticket thathas been forced upon the Democratic party in Hamilton county Ohio, was tho choice of the Jesuits. This is the reason why the Miamis, another secret society, hate them so. There arc other secret politicol societies than Know Nothings, affecting the political operations of tho cay. i Mona Fcsion. Tho distillers at Aurora have fused with the Rumocratic party. They were taken into full fellowship at onco without renouncing any of their Whig proclivities, but on simply embracing the article of faith that Whisky should not bo seized, confiscated nnd destroyed. ZiTlt must never be forgotten that the Nebraska bill docs far more than throw op' ntho great Central Territories to Slavery it inagurafes a principle, namely, that Slavery may go wherever it can, and the American Pcpie as such, shall interpost no imp aliment. That in tho gist, the essence of the Nebraska repudiation. .5Tln tho Congressional district in Illinois now represented by Col.

As wo listened to tho earnest pleadings of Judge Test, last Saturday, iu behalf of freedom, nnd his timely and well directed rebukes of tho servile spirit of many northern men who would cowardly submit to any and every demand of slavery, we thought him decidedly good looking. We arc now satisfied lhattho way to appear to advantage, is to bo earnestly engaged in n good cause.., . . ,

IS TUT 8EBVAJTT A T0Q1 Could men, whose rule of action is expediency, and who only court popularity,havc their future positions placed before ihem, they would often spurn the imputations as did the ono whose language is quoted ubove. Governor Wright, who is now making stump speeches, and writing letters to endorse Duglass, Bright t Co., who have opened the slavery ngitation thus closed his message in 1C5 less than three years ago: "ifhe high conservative ground maintained by our Statu is shown in the fact .that wc support no man who favors ngitation. Our people want peace, and they esteem no sacrifice, short of that of principle, loo great to secure it. "Indiana holds him nn enemy to the well-being of this Republic who pursues nny course tending to widen the breach between the North and the South. Miner questions sink into insignificance compared to ihe great paramount duty of every American citizen, the pn ervuliou of the integrity of

"KhcIi and nil of the laws constituting that compromise, which hn ! n as oil cast upon the troubled water, arc nsseutcd to, and have been carried out, so far in they npply to un, in wrrd nnd letter, according to the strictest judicial, construction, by the citiizetis of our State. Tins litis been done cordially, And with as near nn approach to hearty unanimity us env measure enacted to reconcile similar sectional di.Terance can ever be expected to recti ve. "Indiaua desires to see the compromises made under the Constitution, nnd expressly framed to carry into effect its provision", remain undisturbed. Sht snyu to the South us well as to the North that these measures musUtund that this sectional controversy mttut not again le opened vp that time, ns an element which enters into everything that is valuable, must test their wisdom and efficacy that from whatever quarter of the Union effort hall te made to revive this sectional agitation, Indiana is against t. "She favors not, nor will she by her votes countenance those who tavor, tho opening ufretb, in nny manner, under any pretense, the questions so recently nnd so happily disposed of, let us hope forever. Our duty isplain, alide hi the past, cu stain the measures faithfully, cease ogilatiun, nnd trust for the future to the intelligence and patriotism of the people, under the guidence of Providence. Jostru A. Wright." Who could have guessed, when this Message was uttered, that its author would, within three short yean, have been activo and prominent in breaking down tho original Compromise respecting Slavery in the Territories, and upholding the author and abettors of this wanton "agitation?" But, though her Governor hss" wheeled abouV the Stato has n ;t, nnd will prove, by nn overwhelming vote next month, that, "from whatever quarter of the Union efforts shall be made to revive this sec'.ional ngitation, Indiana is against it." iti:v. nn. .-IcFAHL.VD. We had tho pleasure of an introduction to this ger'!. jr, n tho other day. He is to be, probably, the pastor of the Presbyterian Church iiithis place. Ho is a young mn, some 2C years of nge.and prepossessing in his appearance nnd address. Wo have not heard him preach, but those that have, speak well of him. We bid him welcome to our town, notwithstanding h h lacking in the second qualification, which Paul thought so important. See, 1. Tim., 3;2. JJSrTho canal got high lastwcek.at Lawrenccburgh, nnd started out on a procession through the German part of town. Tho neighbors discovering it was high, simply by tho uso of too much water, applied to the proper authorities, and had it letdown a feet, by hoisting a flood gate. Whether it made any converts, to the cold water army or not by the procession, wo havo not learned. We guess however, that tho citizens of Lawrcnceburgh, had seen nnd felt the effects of too much water, bo often, that even a cold water procession at this time of tho year, could not convince them that water u n good master, a bit moro than a drunken procession "through Brookvillo the other night, tended to convince the people that drunken men would make good officers. Too many of tnose who &aw and heard that procession had too painful recollections of what they had suffered by drunken huibands.nnd fathers and children, and neighbors to be induced to desire tho success of drunken men. XsTThc prospects of Judgo Gant, for the Senate, arc becoming moro and more flattering. There is a fixed dosire on tho p:rt of the people to bo represented by a sober man, that will securo him many u vote. Moreover, the position of tho Judgo on tho Nebraska question correspond with the feelings and views of a largo majority of the Democracy of this county, outside of those who have to think as their masters tell them to. Ho docs not swallow tho bait simply for the sugar that appears in tho name "squatter sovereignty." The Judgo may rot be elected, but ft large vote for him will be a rebuke the panderers to catholics and slavery deserve. EUXTIO.v TICKr.T. Wo expect to print tickets on Friday the Cth of October.

- . TO DU. OSAfiAM K. FITCH. x An apology is due to you, Dear Dr. for the meagre turn out you had last Tuesday, Several circumstances combined to produce so unflattering a demonstration. In behalf of our good citizens we would say, that in the first place, the minds of the people of this county are n-arly settled on the Nebraska swindle. There are but few who believe that the object was to give sovereignty to the squatters of Kansas, so much as sovereignty to the slaveholders of this nation. The tew who pretend to think that ia the case, remember that you said in 1C49 that you would vote for the Wilmut proviso, and even step forward and offer it that it might be a Fitch Proviso, if no other champion of freedom could bo found with nervo enough. They remember also, thut u few days ago, at Wabash, when you were called upon to read your own letter your Fitca Proviso letter t' Pomeroy, that you declared you did not, when writing it, belieo the doctrine it contained, but you only wro'.e it to save the Democratic party from being overwhelmed by the tide that was in favor of pro

hibiting lavery extension. Tlu-y remember nlsy that you refused to be sworn, nt Wubah. to proclaim now non; but your real sentiments. Under all these circumsUncca tho people of Old Franklin did not want to hear you speak. Tho friends of slavery have no confidence in you, nnd the friend of freedom having been betrayed by you once, now uitpise you. You will therefore excuse them for not ntteiu'ing. A puff over Ihe left. Homo timo ago we puffed ft hotel not fifty miles from Broikville,becnuse it had treated u well. One of our lady friends ays she was there ti short time ngo nnd they put her in a dirty room, with a, dirty bed, and the towel was ko dirty, that she had to wipe on n dirty pillow case. Now if ever that house serves n lady so again we will "speak right out in meeting," and tell where it is. S3T Some doubt the existence of Jesuit lodges in this county, simply becauc they can't tell where they meet, or who belong. They manage so adroitly that it is difficultto tell who they are. They meet secretly, and act quietly. That their influence was felt In the convention that nominated the ,'prcscnt pro-calhiic ticket, is too manifest to b denied. If this were not to, why ure the stump speakers ot that party always lauding tho Catholic church, particularly when speaking in the south west part of this county? Gcnen;Ily it U not till all hone is gone, that young physicians, are willing to call in old ones, who have retired from practice, and then it is usually too late. The young dostors whp havo had charge of poor old Democracy, in this county, finding him getting worse and worse.have solicited Dr. Berry, who retired into private life, just after the Greensburgh Convention, to take charge of tho patient. If any body can bring bono to bono tho Doctor can. Ho will try hard. The Piebald Partt. The so called Democratic party presents quite n spotted appearance. Men of all shades of political opinion aro readily admitted, if only right on either the whisky or slavery question. Let n man bo in favor of free whisky, and Catholicc dilation and slavery extension, and he can come in, even though he is in favor of the most ultra Whig notions ever propogated. j37"Wo thank Angelina, for her well written communication, but we must refuse to puulishit out ofsherc mercy to the lawyers whom she compliments (?)

Presbyterian Supper We hope the ladies of the Presbyterian Church will be well patronized at their supper this '(Thursday) evening. Such suppers are more profitable to the community than to the individuals that get them up, and the lovers of good cheer, and social gatherings should patronize them, and thank the ladies besides. ff3"GoDKr for OcTonsn. We have almost come to the conclusion that it is useless to noto the arrival of this periodical for the (.imple reason that everybody its value, and the good reputation of its author. But the present number undoubtedly shows tho weather i getting more suitable for Godey's powers to work. For proof of this werefer to the persona who inquire so anxiously for it Ü'appearonce. Wc think yes we know, that even the contents of the 375th page, would amply pay nny of our young married folks for a year's subscription. Back numbers can bo supplied from Jan. 1C51. Addrec L. A. Godey, Philadelphia. XiTln h recent conversation with Judge Gant, he gave us hi views on tho temperance question. While they du not quite come up to our standard, they nre such as would secure a very good law. Then too, the judge is, practically, a sober man. Some of our lawyers and big bugs might not like tho Judge's rustic appearance, nnd would not like to be seen iu his company in Indianapolis, but our coun try citizens would much rather walk arm in arm with him to the State House, and lean upon his manly, up right form than to lead ono who might dress better, and talk more glil ly, who would patronize the grog shops. Al though, as we told the Judge, we can hardly vote for him, yet wc confes? tho record shows him about right on most questions'. lie is right on the school question, the bank question, Velt'U question, the Nebraska question, and more than half right on the torn perancc question, and tho goose ques tion. J&T Why don't those who are rais- ' so much excitement about an in American secret political society, say something against the Jesuites who unquestionably exist in large numbers in this county, and w hose impress is seen in the Jesuit ticket, yclept the Democratic ticket? Simply on the same ground that the Whisky Democracy of Fayette County are not opposed to Rev. Dr. Wilson Thompson's mingling in the dirty pool of politics. He mingles on the right side, and it is all right. So with the Jesuits of this county. Their influence is in favor of the present office holders. It is all light enough to form scerct political societies to oppose free schools and free speech, but it is treason to combine to oppose such organizations! jtJTCoxsEQCEXTiAL.
