Tl) E;;-l:i3 Ptrty TTtat Is It t An article appeared in tlio Indianapolis P.pv&lkan Im week, that, wo tLhtlc, is founded on a misapprehenion of what constitute the Republican fart jr. The lulstar.ca of it is a recommendation to the K. N's.of Iniliata, to nect with tbo Republicans, and each make suitable concessions, if necessary, and unite on a common pl.itform, lor the ensuing campaign. It peaks cl the Republicans as identical wiih tn Abolition party, and proposes such a modification of its demands as will allow tho K. N'l to co-opcrato with tie Abolition party, if it chooses, text year. If we understand Republicanism, it wnow, just what the Jiepulliean want. W publish in another column, its plat form, m adopted in its organization in IE54, and re-afErracd in 1855. In that it will be seen that its demands in reference to tho slavery question are identical with the platform of tho K. N'sy which wo published last week restoration of the Missouri Con'proeise, and a refusal to allow the further extension of the slate power. . In addition to this it embraces all of the Know Nothing moYcmcnt that i.n desirable (o bo embodied in law. It alas at such a change of tho Constitution of Indiana as will prevent the rotinj of aliens. If Know NotUingista desire any tiling iurmer man this, it is because the evils it socks to remedy cannot be cured by this alone. . Its ultimate design u to Americanize American politics, and this it will be sure to do, in the end, bat it wants to accomplish it with the least possible , :tzrb&ace of tho present laws. Many ssppose modification of the natu rir.ri-ca' kws will be required. If farther experience shall demonstrate '.this fact, then the naturalization laws rlU be modified.-, Que thing may be rrririsd as a fact: The American o mind is awake tu tho dangers arising tea the present influence of un-Amer-icaaued foreigners in the hands of demagogues. At present,' all we ask the form of legislation, Is, to prohibit the unnaturalized foreigners from -6' The Republican Organisation is c:n;ttcd to tsother important move- ' unL It is pledged to tho people of Indiana, to "never abato its efforts," until a suitable, safe, and eonca tba statute of Indiana, as tbo law - forbidding theft. " - , republicanism ia Indiana U already a combination of the friends of these tirt great measures; . There may be ' tocae in each department, that think 1 . T 1 ! . 1 , 1 iS i.epuDiican party not mir vnougu on his or their favorite idea, but coneeivicg jt to be the best for tho general good, they have abandoned the ultra demands of their rcspectiro views. tzi united against their common en my. . . . Thus, there arc some anti-slavery nen who demand much moro than is sit forth in ur platform. They detre a repeal of the fugutiro slavo law, the abolition of slavery in the District cf CclunbU, and other measures that are considered by most of us as ultra, ; ' td iacrtcticable, if not unconslitu- ' , tlonal. But hem )is common ground. :Ts Constitution evidently allows the . a ci t- . rr : prodlüiiion oi oiavery ia me J erruulies, and - a restoration of the Miisoa ri Compromise, and certainly every motive of patriotism requires it. If then the ultra Abolitionists are will ing to unite with us in demanding what we conceive to be right, we do cot object. If they prefer a separate organisation, for the purpose of diiTu sisg more extensively an anti-slavery sentiment, that is their privilege. They may even act politically ns a separate body, if they choose, but the . llecublican party of Indiana havo Cx td their stakes,' and will not pull them . .- i .... uu w uicara muni ui uivrv yui)iuujii crof more Pro-Slavery views. The same is true on tho tempo ranco qtUon. . The standard of tho He. - publican party does not come up to the desxads" of many ultra temperance nen. It is the plain, common-fense , !: tad , of. breaking up tho tippling kecifs, that have hitlkerto cursed our lssi. - Wo believe that tho IConstitu- : tica allows this, and th.it humanity de C ''s I- This docs not prevent teni , ;r:;trt5 ccn from organising as ftjns, or Templars, ox .lUchabites, for the ' tz:zzzi cf creating a wholesome pubL3 sciucaeni on ute suoieci oi temper , tzzz, ia all its bearings, nioral," rclig . bs tzi political. . Jf they think i ttz to set up for themselves, in tho -- wftrlJ. tV.av have aright to do yy ' to, but as A tecoperanco idoa wo nave rays opposed this, and ever shall. C1T3 truth, discuss; tho question be C3 t!.a popl, and , let them act as Clzl best. We never will act with a tspsircb party, as such. 7e hare always regarded tho Know

Nothings as analogous to tho temperanre orgnnliationnot to act directly as a psrty, but to enlighten the millions in regard to the objects of its association, and act as citizens with other citizens to secure whatever of legislative enactment may bo desired. Hence we have always repudiated Know Nothingisra at a party. We bolievo its essentia! Idea is right, and tho North and tho South should harmonlzo on it, just as they do on the tcmpcranco question. An cflort to organize a National Tcmpcranco political parly would blow the organization to atoms, instanter. And we shall oppose, till the last day In the evening, every effort of tho Know Nothings in Indiana, to keep up apolitical party. We are a Know Nothing an American, or whatever you plcaso to call us, and as such we shall do our best to awaken tho public to a aonso of the danger they are in, from the dominion of foreigners among us, while we ahull oppose the formation of a Know Nothing parly ; and if one is formed wc shall opposo it afterward. , , On the subject of temperance and Americanism wo claim a right to p-ak, for wo arc one of them, and expect to'bo while wo live, but on tho subject of Anti SlavcryUm wo are more modest. Wo never belonged to any nnlislavcry organization, and uever intend to. Wo never could see tho necessity for such an organization. Moreover, we are opposed. to most of Iho measures of the Anti-slavery organizations. Wo have no desiro to interfere with slavery whtre ills, but we do say that it shall go no further. If, however, men wish to combine as Anti slavery men, for the purpose of leetuiing, or any thing else, wo shall not complain. They havo tho right to do so. With thoso views of what constitute tho Republican organization, wo see no necessity for the proposed convention. Paying Toll. A very worthy citizen of this county was mulct into heavy costs last week for refusing to pay toll at the

gato below town, on tho Sunday pre vious. Ho supposed that, as other pikes do not charge on Sunday, when going'to or from church, that this did not, hence ho passed on. Tho Harrison pike charge all persons, on all occasions, except funerals.- And though this is unusual, there is more cause for it than appears at first thought. Under the rule to exempt church goers, our town tipplers had frequently pass, cd through tho gate, pretending to go to church, when, in fact, they were going to Rochester for a drunken spree, and at tho other end of the road tho impositions of this kind are said to hare been worse. Tho truth, in reference to pike and other improvements, is, that they never remunerate tho stockholders at best, and usually those who complain most, are tlioso who have done least and pay least. Instead of urging this pike to abandon this usage, hating seen Low tho com panic aro imposed on, we would rather urge all pikes to adopt a similar one. If thcro aro particular cases for particular reasons that need exemption, either tho president or the board or tho gate-keeper, might be authorized to grant compli mentary or yearly tickets, nt their discretion and at such prices as they deem proper. No ono has a right. Sun day or Monday, to enjoy the proceeds of other men's toil,, without paying for it. Why, let us ask, should a man pay tho livery stahl j keeper 82 for a horse aud buggy, to go to Mctamora, to church, and refuse to pay tho gato keeper Ti cenU for the use of a road, without which he could not uc a bug gy, three months in, a year? An, well might the livery stable keeper contribute to the church privileges of the man, as the stockholders in the pike We have a word to say on tho tnorali ty of shunning gates in various ways which we may say at a futuro time. Temperance Convention. Wo are happy to learn that a mans tcmpcranco convention is in contemplation, on tho 22d bf next February, at Indianapolis. Steps have been taken to call it, or should bo taken immedi ately by tho Central Committee. Tho necessity of that Convention is imperative, whatever bo tho decision of the Supcemo Court, on the . present law. Tho battle is to be fought over The struggle is to be fierce, but the ic suit is not doubtful, if we do our duty. Let not the veterans in tho temperance army thick that they may now retire on furlough. Thcro never was a time that needed their counsel, and their zeal more than now. They must come forth, recruited with the rest of the last few months, and invigorated by the happy consequences that but a par tial trial of an imperfect law has ex hibited. If such a trial of such a law can produce so many happy results what may wc not hopo of tho faiihfu observance of the law, when perfected by experienco ? Some say that tho question is safe because it is in tho hands of politi ciiins. This is . a great mistake So soon n.H tho people leave it, just then tho politicians will drop it. Keep it before tho people, with all the fresh facts that aro constantly urging men to protect their children and their neighbors from ruin. As the Republicans are calling a meeting for the 2'id, wo suggest tha the temperance convention meet on the 21st. We want it kept distinct ant; independent of all political parties. What is done, should be done soon. nub

Tho Prescriptive Spirit of Old lineism. ' We think there b a most manifest difference In the pirit of the two new parties that are now striving for the mastery. If we see aright.'ono wishes to gather strength by convincing its opponents that the measures it advocates aro right, la themselves, and would promoto tl e bast interests of tho nation, and of the world, and we think, in tho argument, they havo every desirablo advantage. They are willing to meet thoso who differ from them, in open debate, and await tho issue. Thus, they contend openly, that'the present traffic in intoxicating liquors is mischievous, und hould ho restrained." They insist, and aro willing to try to prove, that slavery ia a curie, which should not be permitted to pread over our fair land. Hut how are . th'cy met? On the slavery question they are first branded with opprobrious epithet, and then threatened that if their scheraessuccced the Unionshall be dissolved instanter. Thoso most directly interested, in tho spread of slavery, arc aided by their northern allies; and thoso who oppoio it, havo to meet, at every tnrn, the threatened dissolution of the Union, Meanwhile social, moral and buinrM relations btttween the pnrlie nro totally suspended, or threatened to be. During the Into Ohio canvas, the chief argument against tho Republican candidato was that if he succeedcd tho SoutU would withdraw Ut tradt

from Ohio. This is the spirit of slav ery. It is essentially intollerant. It cannot meet an opponent on good grounds, but must come, bully like, and demand submission to its mandates, or the terrible consequences of a civil war. .But; this spirit of proscription is carried still further. , The harsh epithets of "traitors" "villains" "disunionists" "robbers," 'assassins' 'murderers' Ac, aro indicative of the feelings that obtain in the breasts of these men who . would force us to yield to their dennnd, or at least ceaso to oppose them. As an illustration of the extent to which this is carried, wo may say that it has entered the lodges of various orders We have personally been made a victim of it. A few months ago we sent to tho Brookville Lodgo of Odd Fellows a card, with the requisite adjoining fee. It furnished a good opportunity for Korae old liners to vent their spito on us. Forthwith it was resolved to black-ball us, and at tho next meeting the requisite number of tho right kind of men were brought, in. and our propDsition was rejected. It was mortifying to tho better portion of tho lodge, but they could not help iU Old Lincism was there, and it must make its mark, and virtually say that henceforth no man who is opposed to them in politics, and espe cially no ono who U an opponent of the liquor traffic, shall enter Penn Lodge. Tho tamcness of spirit with which the majority of tho lodgo yield ed to the declaration of this purpose, and the readiness with which they circulated tho fact among tho fraterni ty, was remarkable. They can hope henceforth to enjoy only the society of hose sobur men whom they now havo for surely no man will carry up the proposition of a moral and temperance man, and no raoial man will sck to bo associated with a lodge that rejects tcmpcranco men. We were aware that the prominent part we had taken in tho canvass for a prohibitory law had not made us pop lar with such men, but we very, little expected that, after a membership of twelve years, we . would bo deprived of the privileges of a lodge, by them. The same spirit has shown itscl against another and more worthy man Out a few weeks no, a Methodist preacher, well known and highly es teemed in this county, applied to the Masonic Lodge, in this place, for ad mission. Against his character not word can be uttered, but being i Methodist preacher, it was presumed he is in favor of a prohibitory law, and some lovers of liquor determined that if they could not out-aruo him, and out-voto him at the polls, they could show their detestation of him, by black-balling him. and it was dono accordingly. It is due to tho sober and moral portion of the lodge to s;iy that they regarded this courso of ono,or two of their number with tho most decided disapprobation.' It serves to show, however, tho ppirit of proscription tint reigns among the lovers of whis ky, and wc allude . to the acts cf tho two lodges merely to show how far men will allow their hostility to tcmpcranco men to go, and what temperance men may expect in their contest against whisky.

War With England, for Certain. The Loudofi Timet has at length found a real came for war with the United States. It urges as a reason for not treating the people of tho United States with courtesy and consideration, that wo are continually tamper" ing with Her Majesty's soldiers in Canada and inducing them to desert "which villainous system," the writer goes on to any, "has been practiced more or less during the last fifty years. It is undoubtedly true, that desertions from tho English regiments in Canada arc very frequent, and the deserters very naturally endeavor at once to make thiir way into our territory, nnd put lhemelvM4 under 'the hheltcr of our 11 ig, wlieiu they would be fno from the danger of ruiext.

The New York Tribune states "with entiro confidence, and after extensive inquiry," that liquor prohibition will bo upheld by the New York Legisla ture, just chos.-n, and whatever modi fications shall be made in the law will only be to render it more practicable. and effective, bv obviating certain leUottIi, In a lecture the oilier niirht at Hartford, said ho once relied ou moral suasion to complete the temperance reformation, "but the liquor dealers arc not to bo to ached by moral suasion; we need protection from tho dealers, and we cannot havo it unless the law h a law of annihilation." "The most unkindest cut of all." Tho New Albany LeJger, a lending old line paper, thus attempts to frestal the nomination of Wilhrd or Kohinson for Governor. It ia of no importance as to fixing the course of that sheet after tho nomination ; for if either is nominated it will proclaim him a pink of morality, just as it pronounced the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, Simon pure Democracy, when adopted by Pierce, Bright tfceo., though it had said it would be "a violation of twice plighted faith." ."Those who render service to the Democracy, in order to rear tho full fruition of their hopes in order to become the recipients of a magnanimous reward for the able performance of high duty, should caiefully guard tlu ir moral standing, and never, by reason of lack of self control, place insurmountable obstacles iu tiio path which leads to safe preferment, erect burners by their own bund, which may utterly preclude the bestowal of the honors sought, without endangering tho standing of the donor. We wish not to bo mLutulei stood in tho above, for wo are writing in view of a remote contingency, one which we hope will never arise. Would that tho f.icts which ivc rise to our fears would perish, "like the baseless fabric of n vision. Now wo hope this will not provo a "barrier" to the nomination of one or thu other of these men.

JCütLixck received lots of new goods last Saturday, among- which ii a line assortment of clothing i-uiled to the season. Linck knows a thing or two. Prepayment of Postage to be made by Stamps only Important. It will be recollected that by the Act of March 3J, 1855, requiring the postage on all letters not free, sent by mail within the United States, and not from or to a foreign country, to be pre-paid, it was also enacted that from and after January 1st, I COG, the Postmaster Cenoral may require Postmasters to place postage stamps upon all prepaid letters upon which such 6tamps may not have been placed by the writers." Wc learn that the Postmaster General has decided to require Postmasters to comply with, and carry ' into effect, thii provision of the law ; nnd, if not already done, to supply themselves with postage stamps accordingly, by sending their order fcr them to the Third Assistant Postmaster General. Of course, it is not intended nor expected that this regulation shall throw upon poHtmaslers the labor of affixing postage stamps to letters where the writers might, without inconvenience, have dono It for themselves. The main thing is for Postmasters to keep themselves supplied with stamps, that all persons having occasion to use may readily obtain them. ' , Ihc Way the Southern Know-Noth-, Ings Take It. ; The Frankfort (Ky.)ComBontreafr, n most unscrupulous Knew-Nothing piper, In alluding to the recent KnowNothing Convention in Cincinnati, says: "And first and principally, wchave to say that the change they propose in the national platform is utterly, inadmissible, and to expect that it will be made is folly. Tho restoration of the Missouri Compromise Restriction is altogether impracticable, and tho exclusion of any State from the Union because her people have consulted their on Judgment and wishes in modeling their domcstio institutions, und have permitted slavery, would be monstrous." . .

Hiss Delia Webster's Experiesces hUeatne-Tr. Miss Delia A. Wtbjtrr teacher from Vermont, who, it will be remembered, was sentenced to the Kcntarky Penitentiary for two years fmn Lexington, a few years since, on (he charge

of aiding tdaves to escape, and was pardoned out by the Governor at the which is published in the New York Independent. It purports to give her experiences in Kentucky since she returned to tho State the second lime, a few months after receiving the Gubernatorial pardon. She rtates s li bought a largo farm in Trimble county, on the river, opposite Madison, sotiled down upon It; but that, - from being suspectedf still etitici ing shtvrs to cape, she was ordered; to h ave the Bute, and when sh refuted to do mi. whs arrested, put in jail,nd lie tied with great cruelty. " Subsequently. she escaped to Indiatit, but was pursuedtlhere. We ropy lit r own verion of the remainder of tho story; My persucrs had nriotig tin in a man who, from certain lemon of his own, was my personal enemy. By his agency, immediately after this, through bi intrigues three old indiemenls, which the Commonwealth-Attorney had stricken fimn tho' docket ten jejirHiio, by oiiU rof the ('ouit, were ri-docketed, Mid wi rants icsned under them for my arrest. Knowing that tbi miyht appear nn incredible thing in our country, 1 hold in my hands pel fed documentary evidence of tli fuel, which 1 am abl: jit any ti'ie toexibit. lhe Governor of Kentucky, on the strength of these indictment, sent to the Governor of Indiana, demanding me hi it fugitive from justice. Without any inquiry as to the merits of the case, the 'Governor tftliveded me up. The Indianians, iudignaut at such an outrage upon a peaceable citiz n, hid me frora my pursuers. Sometimes they secreted me in the city nnd sometimes in the country in u hay-mow, in lhe woods, under brush heaps, in the rye-fields, in clefts of rocks sometime in one place nnd sometimes in another, until I ? too feeble to be louger moved about, , While I 'ay prostrate with Mrkuess after some twelve days search, the t.tBcers got Irack of me, took me off from the bed, put me in an own buggy and drovome some fifteen miles under a acorchiny Julv sun. anl after , dark mail- a daring attempt, to mö across the river Here nam they were otieaua, ana iook nie ecieny to Madison, where they confined me in jail, to await tho arrival of the Kentucky officers. Tho vigilant luJ'anians determined I should have the hencfit of a "habeas corpus," and a large troop of volunteers stationed themselves around the jail to prevent uiy being kidnapped by lhe Kentuchions, and there I lay in close jail ' twenty days before I was able to be taken out for trial. The evening prior to tho trial, another requisition arrived demanding me upon another ten year old indictment. On the evening or the 2 lat or July, 1851, both warrants having been tried 1 was discharged from custody by the decision of Judg Walker, of Madison. Ind. .

Ac. are taken away, ay cattle and oilier stock driven olF, arid I am deprived of ray entire personal property, even to my wardr.be. Nothing whatever is left - upon the place save the growing crops, the property seised amounting to $9,0(V0. At the next Circuit Court thrir writ of attachment is dismissed, and it becomes the duty of iho officer to return the property to my possession. Instead of this, ho secretly sells what had not before been destroyed, and the slaveholders pocket the money. Are they, satisfied now? No.While on a visit to my aged mother in Vermont, they täte advantage of mj absence, steal and sell my crops, pocket the money; and when I return to make a payment of $2,000 on my place, lol 1 have nothinti with which to make it am bereft f mj last dollar, the payment due, and 1 penniless. This last Spring, - to prevent my sendinj on tenants to take care of the place, they broke open and demolished six of my dwelling. houses, and burned the aeventh. Mj closo confinement in the four different prisons amounts to 193 days, and the los of property to 8 1 1 ,060.

The Evansville Snqttirtr, speaking of tho kind of a roan wanted to run for Governor, thus rules out both Willard and ltobinson, by construction: We want the Democrat whose personal character docs not dim the political faith he wears on his head that all men may see it. It matters not that slander has nssoiled him so that it has been for the Rake of his democracy an l that it has not touched his private character. The people want a man whom they can respect.
