All this h as been cheerfully endured, altbougb the. taxes bar been henry and most for some years eentane burdensome. The people were wilting so pay for euch a structure aa shooU be an ornament to the county, aad provide a secure plaee

struction, or in the quality, of the ma terials, or both, that unless a oonsid

erable sum of money is expended for repairs, and to save it from decay, now evident and progreaeive, the house will soon be, what it already appears, an old building. But ne serious complaints have yet been heard on this subject. It was supposed the Court Honree was intended tbr puMte wee, and that no party proscription would close its doors on the people who paid for it. That u a mistakk. The SheriTof Franklin county, Michael Batsner. is charged with its safe keeping, uader instructions from the County Board to permit if use to general j meetings and contention of the people of the county.

era. An appointment had been made for W. C. lloreau to sienk in the Court House, on Monday night. Hand bills were printed, beaded "County Meeting." These were circulated generally. Persons assembled here from different parts of the county. They were here from Fairfield Township, Brookville Township, and Springfield Township, nd other parts of the county, as wall as from the town of Brookville. Ladies had assembled with a view to attend the meeting. And yet, under these circumstances, when Hiew Staeurrr Batsner is politely approached, and asked for the key, he peremptorily rafuase admission to ran

the petty authority with which be is in rested, when he shuts the door, and insolrutly tells those who bava built tie bouse that they cannot be permitted to enter. He knows, well enough, that the meeting waa no town mealing, but that it was called for and responded to aa a general meeting of the people of the county. Pray tell ua what gare the late county meeting of the old liners aay superiority over the one on Monday night We assert that there were aa many in Mtondance in and around the Market House, as at any time, on Saturday, listened to Mr. Ray while he delivered his dull harangue to the old liners in the Court House. The difference Is simply that one was in day tight tho other at night; and this is a distinction not founded in common sense, and which, consequently, the Commissioners hare not made. Suppose last night Jesse D. Bright had dropped in to Brookrille. Ha would hare been asked to speak, in all probability. It would hare been

too late, let us suppose, for a general

notice, and none but the faithful around

town could hare been drammed up for tne audience. Does any sane man be

lieve that Mr. Banner would hare hesitated one moment to open the door, light up in all its effslgence the

180 chandelier, escort Mr. Bright to

the luxurious plush spring bottomed

chair, aad invite she old liners to the repsst of dulness which that overrated

sen. tor would have served for their

delectation? No. In conclusion, we

rejoice to hear that there are among

the old liners liberal minded men who condemn this oaltrv usurpation . We

shall see how it is vindicated and sue

tained. The following is the exact

lannaxe of the order of the Board,

referred to.

Ordered by the Board, that the Sheriff of Franklin county keep the

There were hundreda in attendance ore than could get into a room ex pfretfy provided for the use of the Republican Club, and no alternative was left, but to light up the market house nod retort to it. This wss done. Some were provided with seats. Numbers stood. Tho ladies occupied the

adjacent doors, porches, and side walk. Such is the position in which the RepubKean party stand in this county, and even lower than this in the estimatoa of party hacks, on the other aisle, for ruffians attempted a disturbance ofthe meeting, which they could not bare effected in the Court House; and we cannot doubt it was part ofthe motive that led to this act of intense party bigotry, that it would be possible by means of noisy outsider to disturb and embarrass a meeting in the

open air. Mr. ÜaUaer justifies himself. We cheerfully publish his card, and afford him the fill benefit of it. One of his excuses is that this was a might meeting. If the Commissioners designed that the people should come to their contentions and meetings in the day time, why did they not say so? They never meant any such absurdity. Suppose that tho recant democratic, old line meeting, held here on Saturday, the If ih of July, had run over until evening, and the court room hud been desired for public speaking? No one, Mr. Batsner would hare graciously opened the door, nod obsequiously bowed them in. He talks too of it being a town meeting aad asks if the tax payers desire to furaisb a town bail to the people of Brookvitle? This dodge won't do. The Republicans hare a dub room, in Link k Faraebar's

building, amply convenient for all ordinary town meeting. Rut when a .county meeting is held, by dsy or by night, we say Mr. Batxncr acts as a tyrant Ami usurper, to tho extent of

The Judiciary Effect of Party on Opinion.

We hare been discussing t ie evils of our present system of electing men to judicial office by the influence of party. We gave last week the fact that Judge it-id had abandoned his former opinions upon the prohibitory question, and had, in the language of the late Mr. Buchanan, "squared

himself to the platform" by turning a complete somerset. We allude this week to another instance of the turning about of this same Judge, to accommodate himself to tbe new opinions of the platform makers of the party on which he relies for support. He has not given any opinion er eathtdra, on the question now alladed to, but he haa avowed sentiments in his lite electioneering harangues directly opposed to . the opinioni he h Jd and stoutly maintained in 1849-60. Then he was a member of tbe Sen

ate from the district composed of the counties of Union and Fayette. Certain memorials were presented by him "praying for the amendment or repeal

o( the lawa then in force, which operated injuriously on the natural and civil rights ofthe colored population of Indiana." They were referred to a select committee of which Mr. Reid waa ehsirman, and on tbe 7th of January I860, he presented to the Senat areport embodying the opinions of tbe committee, and from this report we shall make some extracts for the purpose of proving that in 1860 Mr. Reid was, according to tbe estimate of

his present political associates, an aboiitiooist of the moat virulent and treasonable kind. We invite all who are curions on this subject to look for the Documentary Journal of 1849-60, and turn to tbe last psper in it, where they will find the whole thing in, black and white, under Mr. Reids own name. "Being" says Mr. Reid, deeply impressed with tbe importance of tbe sub

ject before us, and believing that it is

our duly to examine carefully the rights of our colored population, and the wrongs which our present laws are guilty ol inflicting on this class of unfortunate persons; and turning out eyea back to the early formation of our territorial government and the ordinance of 1787, we cannot but admire the noble sentiments which animated the bosoms of those great Statesmen

who introduced and carried out this celebrated I ordinance, by whieh slavery and involuntary servitude are forever prohibited within our

State, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes. What is slavery? What is tbia dreadful ml, which all mankind of every nation and of every creed bare been taught to fesr and guard sgainstf" Mr. Held then proceeds to answer his own Question. "From tht earlittt history of tht world thit principle hat been gradualy encroaching on tht r ight, of man. Nslion haa risen against nation, and kingdom ag.jnst kingdom, for the purpose of enslaving their fellow men, aad while ail denounce abstractly the principle, yet alas! how few abstain from the practice. Slavery it the loss of each or all of the grand and inalienable rights of mankind, known as the civil and natural right of man, nod in proportion to the loss of our freedom. SO ia the txtent of our slavery. 'Slavery,' says Jndge Mansfield, in his decision in the celebrated Somerset

cue, of such 6 nature that it is incapable of being introduced upon reasons moral or political, U ja so odious that nothing can be suffered to support it but positive law." These extracts show that in I860 Judge Reid was a devoted admirer of the ordinance of 1787 and, as a necessary result, of the Missouri restriction, which is but its reenactmrut; tuat he cordially hated slavery as an odious

ric of American Independence, what rich heritage it the fertile valley of the Mittittpp,and who are the guardians of tht eacred temple of Faxaoou." Now, while his partisans aro slang whanging over the country about niggers, aad wool, charging abolition sentiments on all who oppose the extension of Slavery, and declaring that the Republicans love niggers better than they do whites let t us see how Mr. Reid valued the darkies in 1860. He avows:

"We do not consider it necessary to

enter into anv argument to fshow that

tbe Negro, liiiiallo, and Indian sre men, anJ as such entitled to all of ihu natural and civil rights; in as full pow

er as any citizen t Indiana. I be

history of the world allows them tin

character, and has assigned to each

his proper place in the rank of man

kind. But weie this denied, there are

of themselves self evident proofs, de

veloped in their physical formation, their mental abilities, the inherent principles of their nature, and the acknowledged admission of the civilized world." Tbe report proceeds to examine the laws by which negroes were rendered incompetent as witnesses, when whit men were parties; by which all blacks coming into (he State were required to give security for good behavior, and against pauperism, or be seised and sold for six months to the h'gheat bidder, dec. Over these enactments,

notwithstanding by a constitutions! provision the people of this State have since excluded negroes altogether from settling amongst us Mr. Reid wastes as much lachrymose rhetoric as you could expect from Gerrit Smith or Theodore Parker. He bewails the terrible lot of the negro whose family dwelling may be invaded by the spoilers the earnings of years, the virtue of hit children, the peace of his home destroyed even li.e itself taken, yet the colored man, so far as he is concerned.

is powerless in the hands ot his oppressor, lie asserts that it is the duty

of the State of Indiana to protect them aa raxx men, and not as tavet. The Judge goes abroad far author"J. "Europe," he says, "has long since rrpudiated the doctrine of the incompetency of the colored race, and now in England, France, Prussia, and Germany, the testimony of this class of persons goes to the Court and jury.

allowing them to judge of its truth

and credibility, sustaining or rejecting it on the character and reputation of the man. But here in rRxs and .nLKiHTEN ED IsD' AS , Oil the Soil COVCfed by the faimed ordinance of 17Ü7, here, where Freedom hath built her altar, and when the talent and intelligence of the age aro fast hastening, here in this beautiful country the cunt of Slavery still rests, blighting and blasting the hopes and rights of the colored population, and treating them as if they still were slaves." The committee alio reported a bill, providing for certain changes in the law, and urged its adoption because the spirit and intelligence of the age

demand it; because three thousand abolitionists petition for it; because the

great charter of American freemen and the Gkeatkr Declaration or Dl ink Authority in the Hour Biblk, upon whose God our .fathers trusted, all raise their voices and cry, soften the rigor of your lawa and Ut my people be

fret

Now we inquire, was Judge Reid a oegto worshipper in 1850? ' If so, when did he wash himself clean from the odor of Africa, and shave off the crop of political wool with which he waajodoned? and how came he to turn out a changeling? What could have induoed so devoted a friend of the ne gro, so ardent a champion of the ordinance of 1787, so stout an advocate for freedom, and the higher law, and so bitter an enemy of slavery, to grow into the modern form and proportion of a filUSuatsring, old line, buccanicr? Can any body tei; us? Or is it difficult to guess that party influence, and love of office corrupt the judiciary, and turn abolitionists into old liners? We do not quote this from his repoitto condemn its doctrines but to show how great is the influence of party upon the opinions of men who cell themselves to do its behests. The remedy is for the people to rise above party, and select a good nnd true man because, of his moral worth, and legal

attainments, end not because he squares himself to the ever changing platforms oi demagogues. We may allude to this subject of the Judiciary again, when the people have time to consider it. And we may, as n strong auti old line speech, quota the entire of the Judges able report, beforo the election.

Rev. James Havens 'nformed us that he counted the number in a'given space, and estimating the size of that space, nnd of tho space filled, he wosjld Br there wen- 80,000. The probable number was from

40.000 to 60,000. But the number is the least important featun The

wm the rising up of freemen, whose

lives snd liberties were endnngered, by

tho hand of the oppressor; and tl ere was seen in the expressions of every

ince, such a fixed d termination to

throw off the yoke, and assert the rights of man, as Is seen only when terrible wrongs have driven men to desperate measures. We shall not attempt a detail of the proceedings. They were enthusiastic and interesting. There were flags, and banners and mottoes and every thin else that could indicate an uprising of the tnaases, and in the evening there wns a torch light procession, and every man went home encouraged to hope for an

overwhelming vote in October, for the People's state ticket, and for thn Peoples President in November. The convention adjourned, to meet on the Tippe cam e Battle Ground in the first

wtek of October and hold a "Three Days Meeting." On Wednesday, the Know Nothings, or Americans, held their State Convention, and nominated an electoral ticket. They had no enthusiasm no procession, and but few people. Their meetings were held in the Hall of the State House, and weie not very harmonious. On Thursday the Office Holders

held their ratincntion meeting. It was largely attended. Like tho meeting of Tuesday, it is mere conjecture, as the numbers. We would suppose f om the best information at had that there mnst have been 20,000 probably more. Its size, compared with the peoples meeting, may be inferred from the fact that there were 22U carloads ofthe former and 132 of the latter, making 94 cars less on Thursday than on Tuesday. It was however, a respectable meeting, its to numbers, but it larked the spirit aad interest of the

former.

the wisdom of purchasing a splendid

It was a great piece of presumption in him, but, though he has been pounded by their bully, who has grown both rioh und insolent out of the pereentagu on the MOrthouu taxes which honest laboring men have been compelled to pay, snd though another of tlu ir numbers has a stand ing oflVr of ten dollar tt aay cne that will pound him again, for bis ex

It is apologized by tho Commission era nnd their defenders, that a part of

(Ik: farm can be rented so as to pay ten per cent on the investment. If the people want to be taxed, to pay for a farm to rent, at ten per cent, they will keep tho present dynasty in power. Most of them think they can lend their money, or buy larosa, quite to thvir liking without having a board of Commissioners, and a treasurer me., to lick up about half of that ten per cent. It is further said, in their defense, that the farm can be sold fur all it cost. We dont believe it; but, if it can, we say sell it, and so sa y at least seven-tenths, if not nine-tenths of the voters of the county. The peo

ple do not want a farm to rent, nor a rorn farm to use. They want a small farm, of some 25 or 30 acres not exceeding 50 acres, on which should be erected a comfortable building, capa' bio of being built to, and enlarged

hereafter, and then some 10 acres of

gnrden, and some 10 or 15 acres of

pasture land, vlll this could be bought

85,500.

"The Journal must be mistsken. La

A latum no Case or Poisoaio The fsmily of Dr. Hnytnond was thrown into no little coiifuioii and alarm at Saturday evening, by the sudden and violent sickness of the whole family, ihortly öfter supper. The Doc'.or himself hnd gone down town, but becoming very sick he started for home, but was ukt u with vomiting before he arrived there. At home, he found bis wife and youngest daughter and his son, very sick, and in a few minutes his eldest daughter, and u young kdy truest, returned from a walk, also sick. Tbtt something poisonous had been taken, was too manifest to bu doubled. It was soon traced to a cake, of which all had partaken, and on further inquiry it was discovered tii it the tartxr ued in making it, was emetic tartar, instead of cream of tartar, which had been put up by the junior Mr. Halle, under the mistaken imprcc-ion that emetic tartar was called for by the ion who had gone for it. The whole might have been avoided by the observance of Mr. Haile's usual caution, of labelling all articles sold by him. Wu learn, however, that the cake yas very light, and nice, though this kind of lunar is not strongly recommended to bakers, by those who havo tr!;'4 it.

Patent democracy received some bard "digs," and it was felt with force by the leading spirits of Buchanan and

Border Ruffianism. They slunk into their hiding places like wood-chucks escaping from the approaching dogs, and kept themselves hid during the light of day. After the "Earthquakes" reached the Stale Hsuse Square they paraded

around to the great amazement and delight of the assembled multitude.

After going through tne process ot

"driving out free State settlers" and dispersing the Kansas Legislature by order of President Pierce, they formed

into rank and returned to Mr. Fletch

er's residence, where they unmasked

and dispersed to their homee. We had almost forgotten to state that the ballot boxea were destroyed and the election frustrated by this Border Ruffian crew. The whole his lory of Kansas, from its settlement to tho dispersion of the Topeka Legislature, with some other things about which the old Lineis want but little

said, were very well represented. The Earthquake demonstration was one of the features of the day, and will long be remembered by those who, with gaping months and astonished eyes, gated upon it. To give a full or accurate description of it would task the power of the best pea that was ever wielded in descriptive story. We have not even attempted to give a full report of the proceedings of the "fantastic." We have glanced at the prominent features and most stiktng points aad let the minulia go. Our poor faculties are not adequate to the occasion which called for an exertion of them yesterday in noticing the "Earthquakes." The old liners being at a loss to find any thing in the history of the

freeman of Kansas or their friends in Indiana with which to offset this ta

king illustration of Squatter Sovereignty, charactnred the Louisville rioters of last year. It would have been

just as appropos to the questions at is

sue, to have acted the Wyoming masssere, tor the freemen of Indiana were

just as responsible for it, and just as

much connected with it as with ihe riot. But it war. the best they could do. I: is said to have been amusing, but its want of appropriateness was so manifest that it as harmless to the cause of freedom and useless to the cause of slavery. The attempt was an acknowledgment of the point and force of the exhibition of Tuesday. and its inappropriateness a confession that the cause of the freemen could not be caricatured. Even on the ground that the )( now Nothing of t.oulsviile were the instigators (which is false) it would still have been in bad taste to have stabbed the few Know Nothings of In liana who. the day before, had met and quietly prepared to depart this life.

Horrible Outrage in Kansas

I henrd to-day of an outrage wht'cl

exceeds any that 1 have henrd of du

rinL' ihe Kansas troubles. A man bv

the nasse of Richards, formerly

Ohio, residing an Pottawatomie creek in the southern portion of the Territo

ry, having occasion to go to Westport

left home on Ihursday last, with th

understanding that he would be back

in four days. During the first day ol

his absence, two men came to th

house and enquired for him; Bndini that he waa not at home they left

saying that lhey would call when he

returned, his wife inviting them to d

. stating that b would be home in

day or two. About ten o'clock thn

night, after the family had retired,

knock was heard ut the door, Mrs.

Richards asked what was wanted, she reply was, we want to see Mr. Richards. She replied that he was not at home. They then demanded Mrs Richards to open the door. He is a 0 D d Abolitionist, we must have him. She again replied, he is not at home, and refuted to open the door. It was then broken open, and seven or eight men entered the room and commenced searching it for Richards. Not finding bim, they accused Mrs. Richards and her daughter, an intelligent young lady abont nineteen years old, of secreting him. The ladies, completely bewildered by terror, protested thai they had told the truth, and

that thev had not secreted him that

One

replied. "Then (Jod

d n you, we want you," and dragged the daughter from the bed, and from the house into the bushes close by. and there proceeded deliberately, to violate her person. Her mother, Mrs. Richards, w s treated in the same manner, and both left for dead. How long they remained ia the bush, they were unable to toll, but she managed finally to reach tbe house v. here they were found by one of the neighbors the next morning, who, after providing for their personal comfort, immediately started to raise a company to pursue the villians. In sn hour a company of terribly excited men were raised,

numbering about thirty, who un(jcr the command of Jr. Smith, started on the trajl. They traced jhem to a cimp of about one hundred men. situated in a deep ravine some distance from the creek. Finding lhat they were not strong enough to Qght, some of the company started for assistance, while olh rs remained to watch their proceedings. The watchers were, however, unfortunately discovered. sj and consequently had to leave, snd b the time their comrades returned, the camp had been moved, and the rufBans escaped. This affair has caused great excitement throughout the Territory, and is almost loo horrible to believe. I had the facts from Mr. Richards himself, who haa teen to aciing Gov. Woodson, to endeavor to get justice done, hut without avail, and has come to Topeka lo get the citizens tü help him to arrest anil obtain tU- perpetrator of Uns most diuboTioal outrage. It has since b en ascertained lhat (he scoundrels were part ol Buford's meO, who are armed with United States muskets, and in ihe pay of ihe United States M;ir-I.y.. This is hut u single one of 'ho many outrages that aie dailv being perpetrated Upon the Free Stale people of Kansas. People of the North! will you permit this longer to continue? Will you longer allow the hired ruf fiatis and tuoU of the Dluc Lodge of Miasouri to commit theae diabolical outrages upon your sisters and friends in Kansas? l)u yo,U lUrno the Free .Suite people for endeavoring to protect themselves and their children from violence like thit If you do not, ihea iry, Oy your piesenco here and your influence at homa, tu hasten tlx. time when the oppressed Free Slate people of Kansas can be guaranteed protection and safely from her murderous attacks.
