Holnm man who wat UtdvortlM Is I: wmm ixr eJUey.wM owll to re mem. bar title tact. - 7hy we caa't tfTord it. In this ge of ctcap newspapers, it is often asked why we can not afford a paper at a dolli r a year as well as others. We propose a word of explanation. As to the city Dollar Weeklies, they arc made up out of the matter set for the Dailies, and hence they hare no expense for type-setting. This is the greatest expense of an ordinary office. Again, they art generally printed on mean, thin paper that will hardly hold together till it is half read, and morcorer they are mach smaller than our sheet Add to this, that theie papers hare 30,000 or 40,000, some as high as 60,000 subscribers, and the difference in the relative cost of producing paper is greatly, augmented, as it costs as much to set the type for 1 paper as for 50,000. Bat we are often asked why we can not produce a Ppr for a dollar a rear, as well as our neighbor of the Drnoerat. We will explain. First our sheet is much largtr, and the cost 'of white paper and of type setting, is greater than for a smaller paper. But this U the least of the eause of the difference in cost. We are dependent almost entirely on the subscription list for support. We get none of the public printing not eren the post office printing, to which we are entitled by the laws of Congress, which require it to be gireo to the paper baring the langst circulation. This ü no small O CWy Treasury THREE HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS, during the year ending first of last September, and we presume this is about his arcrago share of the public funds.. Now, as he has bat about 700 subscribers, jt will be seen that this item alone is about 43 cents, frora the public treas ury, fur each subscriber he has. To this is tobe added the proceeds of advertising Sheriffs sales and other offi cial notices which he receives, from the party in power, the aggregate , of which can not be less than 8600 per year. Tho paper of last week alone contained not less than 950 or tnis kind. Five hundred dollars is a ?ery low estimate foi this kind of adrertis ing, amounting to about 70 cents'on each sul'scribei. To this add the 45 cents and you bare 81,15 from these sources alone, on each subscriber. . But to this is to be added a source of revenae from which he must hare realised, in common with most papers. some 200 or $300 per year we mean advertising for lotteries, and shows and circuses, and such things. We have had the offer of these but re fust d invariably. When we can not i makes living by this. business without ministering to vice and theft, we know j we can by sawing wood, or some other honest and harmless business. . Say that the income from this department is only about' 8200; there is from sources from which we realize nothing about $1,50 for every subscriber he has, so that be can nearly as well afford a paper at 60 cents a year as weean at 82. . . v 'We hope we are not misunderstood in this all union to the profits of the public printing. We do not blame our neighbor for procuring it. , We would love to have at least a part of it ourself. We only allude to it to show how he ean afford a paper at a dollar a yeir while wo have to . charge 82 We conld lessen the cost of our paper ten or fifteen cents, by inserting advertisements of shows, lotteries. die., but we have but few subscribers who would be willing to see thce temptations to vice spread before their children, in order to save a dime or so. To these items of expense may be added another. Every body knows that our paper is made up of news. It costs no little labor to gather upland condense these items. 'We devote more time to editing our paper than is devoted to any other weekly in Indi ana. Whether it is ably done or not, is another question. It takes time and costs money. In conclusion, we will add that we are delighted with the satisfaction our paper aSords. It has s larger circu lation than aay other weekly paper in the State, if we sre correctly informed. The eagerness with which it is sou 'ht after, in every circle, is gratifying to us, ss well as the willingness of the people to sustain us in the course we have taken. -juuge irumbull, one of the United States Senators of Illinois, has tried his best to prevail . on Arnold Douglass to consent to a discussion of both sides of Nebraska 'at his meetings, but the great "Democrat" declines. The Si Loult Irttlligmcer says 2Jr. Douglass got enough of replies, when ilr. McDowell replied to his St. Louis speech. He would rather not be followed." , ..-

rrotKtant rreichers 'and TemperWe can assure the Sentinel and its friends that if revivals cannot be realized until the preachers of tvery Protestant denomination-. cease agitating the necessity of a stringent prohibitory law, they will be a long while coming. In J. Amer. That is to say, before they would change their coarse and cease agi tating the absolute necessity ofU stringent prohibitory law; the Protectant ministry would'see all mankind damned first. Jef. Dem - It is to say no such a thing. The Protestant ministry believe that no drunkard can entr the kingdom of Heaven, any more than an adulters or murderer ean, and it is to save mn from being' damned ' for ; drankenness that they take such An interest in the cause of prohibition, : Think you; Mr. Democrat, thatihe Protestant ministers and laymen would be required to be silent if the laws forbidding adultery, and murder .and theft were repealed and all theso sins tolerated nay, licensed under certain circumstances? The prvtestant Bible places drunkenness in the' same category with these sins. It is neither more nor less a violation of the law of Ood as taught in

the Protestant Bible. Why then sho'd they be required to . be rocm in one case more than another. ; Again, do you think that Protestant ministers would bo doing their duty to their God, to their country, and their flocks, in case that all legal restraints on murder und adultery and theft were removed, as you would have tho, restraints in relation to drunkenness, by simply preaching repentance- to their hearers? i Would it be enough to simply exhort men not to steal or . kill or commit adultery? Ought they not urge then to punish murderers, thieves and adulters by law, and provide that thoso who induce men to become such should be punished? , Whatever your Roman religion teaches, our Prot estant religion toacbes that a Protestant Christian docs not do his whole du ty until he carries his religion into the every day duties of life, to lbe poll as well as' to the Altar.. We know that this is unpalalable doctrine to the lovers of Catholic doctrine and ' Catholic votes. A Calholio may go to mass at 9, A. M., and drink whisky and sell whisky the balance of the Sabbath, and not only be good a Catholio but a good old liner, ' and you would 1 fain have protestants erect the same Standard of morals., It is this that ia arraying all protestants against your, party. . You desire to supplant American Protest' ant morality,-by; the - introduction of foreign Roman " morals,' and Roman 0 J , customs, .and 'Roman . ethics.' . You may array your entire strength against the Protestant ministers you tray publish them . as thieves, and liars and hypocrites--you may stop their feedyou may get .your allies, the drunken rabble, to curse them on tho street, but you will never silence their opposition to old lincism while it con tinues to be a cardinal doctrine of that newoartv that all leiral restraints should bo removed from moral ques tlous. r ' ' 1 ' ' KoTements.

Universalists and Old Lineism. The following resolutions, adopted

by the General Convention of Univer. salists held at Middletown, Conn., show that old liners have nothing 'to hope from that quarter. Itisa striking peculiarity of the .present times, that all pr6testant denominations are opposed to the present administration, and that such are its open and avowed antagonisms ' to t protestant freedom, Protestant religion, and protestant temperance, for the first time, in the history of our nation, the protestant churches consider, tho emergency, so great that they defino their positions in their ecclesiastical meetings. Tho ne cessity for this is to be rcgretleJ, but it is a matter of rejoicing, that since it as come, the Christians of the coun try are not afraid to meet the issues forced upon them. The strife may be protracted, but tho result , cannot bo doubted. Ercn the powerful appliances of a party in power cannot secure the opposcrs of morality and virtue and freedom and temperance from an ultimate overthrow.' Read the follow.ovioir: . . : , , Believing U to be our duty as Chrisians'endeavorin to m tKc the spirit of the Gospal tho practical rule of our ives, to labor by all (Jhristian methods or tho extermination of all ' wrongs, whether moral, social, or political, that afflict or debaso our : fellow-beings: therefore, Resolved, That we record anew our testimony against the institution of luman - slavery as a political wron, deprivina larije class of our brethren of their rights as citizen: n a social wronjj, violating those domestic relaions instituted by God himself, and as a moral wrong, denying them their rights as members of our common hU' manity. ' ,' IiesoiveJ, That we' congratulate the friends of the Temperance Reform in all the States whore the pnblic senti ment in tavor oi soonciy, gooa oruer, and puri morals has fonnd expression in just and wholesome laws for thu suppression of the traffic in alcoholic iquors as a beverage;' and that we re commend to all Universalists where such laws exist to labor for tht ir per netuation and execution, and where they do not exist to labor by all just and laudable means to obtain their p:is sajre. The Chrittiun Ambassador, in its account of of the, proceedings of the Convention, after giving the above, rc marks: ' ' . ' "The first of the above resolutions wu passed unanimouMiy. nie st cono . i m ! . . i ad bul one vote in the negative. Thus has our General Convention, composed of deleates which represent the Universalist denomination in vari ous and distant sections of the United States, again deliberately and unanimously uttered its voice ngainst Hu man Bondage, and in favor of astrin gent Prohibitory Liquor Law, This IS tue MIM successive j ear mm muii.ir resolutions havo passed that body. We call attention to this section with profound satisfaction. It settles the question beyond a doubt as to the position occupied by the Universalist donomination.upon the great Ketormatory movements of the day. It shows, moreover, that the denomination is in favor of taking action on these subjects n its Councils its General Conven tion having deliberately and repeatedly set before all subordinato Conventions, ' Associations and Conferences within its wide-spread jurisdiction, an exalted example in this respect. ' And it also proves that the fears in regard to contentions und divisions growing ont of this denominational action in behalf of Liberty and Sobriety, are perlectly groundless making it mannest that Universalists as a body are in harmony in regard to theso matters, und act as a unit in the war against Serf dom and Intemperance. To God bo all tho praise." . , XirLast year thcro wero not less than twenty persons very drunk, and twenty more "somewhat overcome."

Domstic Privacies. ' As k noble, high-minded gentleman of town is exceedingly anxious to know all about our domestic allYirs so anxious' that We .foar - he will be prowling around o'nights, we will give him a few items. First, we have no dog -no hog-not even a pig therefore the prohibitory law is tyrannical and oppressive. We havt one cow, but, poor thing, blio has. no liorni; therefore the liquor lawT unconstitutional. We have one horse, but as he is in no wise connected with the kitchen, wc presume he feels no interest in him or his habits.- We have, however,'! one cat, a venerable old cat, that in youth, was powerful on catching mice. - She is now mostly remarkable for, getting up concerts, of nights, and supplying the neighbors with kittens. She sleeps under tho house, or in the wood shed, , when she can't get to sleep in the house, but tho prefers sleeping on thu children's bed. Thereforo squattor sovereignty is a glorious institution. ... J ' ' ' . There are sumo other items of absorbing interest, in connexion with our kitchen, that may havo an importan t, bearing on tho next election, which we will, try to make public in duoseajon, to save this high-minded gentleman the .trouble of enquiring of our girls, into the particulars of our household affairs, at he has been doing within. a few weeks. They uro matters that wo have heretofore supposed unimportant to the public, but il appears we were mUtuken.

Look out for a New Post Master at ,.... LaoreL . - ' . A friend from' Laurel informs us, that it is not improbable that they will have a new Post Master there aonn. Mr. .Guter is a Democrat, ho; thinks ho is an old line Democrat, but he manfully and fearlessly resolves not to straddle thu whisky barrel, that is, to constitute jho principal plank, in the platform hereafter, nor can he believe in the divinity of slavery. He believea in popular sovereignty,1 but ho cannot be made to endorse the course of the administration In crushing out popular sovereignty in Kansas, merely to introduce ; slavery there.. At present, the movement is rather, a secret one, but our informant thinks Dr. Gifford is to have the office. The profits of it, will b some compensation fur the l - i ' a . . i i toss ue uas susiameu unucr llio new law, by cutting olf his liquor business, and the honor of being a government offiicial will pay for the trouble of keeping the office. We shall see. One thin" is certain; the threat to remove Mr. Guier will never make him oppose prohibition or favor the extension of slavery. ' His goods nre for sale, but not his principles. One Humbug. It will bo seen in another column that- Prof. Mapes, the orator at the Stato Fair, offers, through the Board, a premium of 920, for the greatest number of acres of land plowed 22 inches deep. Wo intend to encour age bcok larniri, and book farming, just as far as we think it is useful, but when a city Proasor, talks of plow ing 22 inches deep,, we are ready to say that hois one humbug. Let our best farmers ' measure ' their deepest furrows and see how far they fall short of 22 inches, or even Iho half of it. On this subject we were pleased with the hard sense : practical remarks of Judge Enoch McCarty at one of our agricultural meetings, some time ago. In our oprnion, Professors who live by their professions, and plow just for the fun of the thing', may attain the depth of 22 inches in their immense five acre farms down east if they can get that low for the rock, but whenever it is neces sary for an Indiana farmer to go more than half that deep he had better "make an assignment' and go to Iowa. It is, to say ( the least, "running the thing in tho ground," too deep for profit. The Show is Coming. There is to be n chow in town next week.

Thoso are not the kind of people who fool ,away their money and character in that wny. Several who were too poor to go to the Fair, may bo expected.

It ia now certain that England and France will require about 12,000,000 barrels of flour from this country, before the next harvest.

Our own opinion is that it will begin at 25 and reach 30 by the 1st of March. There never was such a crop of corn in the West, and its price cannot be very high.

" " ' In accounting for the defeat of the K.

It was Impossible to harmonize the two factions; a portion of tho 13th of July platform men, refusing to vote for us', while many of the Philadelphia tilalform men, remain ed at home, and of those that did vote, some two hundred of them went .the whole old line ticket. .

DOINGS IN COURT OF COU. PIX3. State vs. Wolf Creekers, Riot. This was a disgraceful riot which occurred on Wolf Creek on the evening' of the 4 th of July, 1054, at a Dutch Ball, , a very appropriate placo for such an oc currence." A' man by the name of Hittlo wanting an opportunity to show his hospitality, conceived that be co'd not appear generous and hospitable in any other way, than that of opening his doors to his friends and neighbors, young and old, and have a regular built dancing- spree, and invited, among others, some of thö '. Brook ville gentry. D uring the course of the evenin a fuss originated between a WolJ Creek JJuci and a Brookville chap, about a partner that both laid claim to. The latter insisting as his right that he had first solicited andobtaided the gaVs consent to danco with him. The former,. that his rights wero paramount to any ' Brool villian, because he belonged to the creek nation. This developed a secret jealousy among the Wolf Creekers, towards the Brookville boys, and the latter soon discovered that they were mistaken in supposing it to be Skree dance; and as the liquor began to operate, it became' apparant that the arrangement was that the Brookville chaps were about to get a thrashing. . So, abont 11 o'clock, the word of command was given, 'Wo Creekers,' pitch in! and they did pilch. and the consequence was, that tho BrookvilltanV got pretty badly used, one young man by the namo of Wever was pretty badly cut on several places on the head. . It. resulted in a general row. Judge Heid fined the defs. 95, "mit de costs." which was considered very cheap. Mismer rrScherger; Civil Action. Suit brought upon n note signed by Magdalene ; Mesmcr,' ' John Schcrger et, al, Magdaleno Mecroer proved that sho was a married woman at the time she executed ihe note,' and asked the court to discharge her from the record which was accordingly. done. Scherger being the only defendant then in court, proved that he signed the note 'ns 'security for .Magdalene Mesmer who had just V r-n discharged, and insisted that :. ahe principal in the note had ben discharged, on the ground that the cohtract was void, as to her, the security must, be discharged also.

' That . thty lived together until some time in the year 1851, when the old man k ft Magdalene, and took with him all the prop erty he brought on ' the farm at the time they were married: that some , I four weeks afterwards, bo. returned to
