Esq We have been credibly informed that the person who answers to the euphonious 'name that heada this article isdispleoseu at the way we refused to sketch him, last week. Some people are hard to pleaae. Our apology however ia that we are not in the hab it of consulting Mr. Crookshank, either m to onr matter ot manner, and be so ist therefore exeasw a. if we shoe Id happen upon a subject, or treat it in a manner, not agreeable to hi. taste.

We learn moreover that ha tbreatena peisonal violence upon us, when ever he catches us in a suitable crowd At this we are not so much astonished. It baa long been determined, by some of the leaders of the Bully Brooks party, that we hod to be whipped, at least once before the election, and the only preliminaries to settle have been who should do it, and what particular offene should be the immediate orovooalion. Furthermore this t Sn f t AmmmkitM system of treating one ho is not ready to bow the neck to the dicta of party aaaetera, having been endorsed by the party to Posy sis, by refusing, by a strict party vote, to espell Herbert a Democratic member of the House, and a leading member of the Otociaoali invention, for killing aa trial, wuker for the exorcise of freedom of speech, not palatable to the druaken cugrewman. and by the universal endorsement of the aaaault of Brooke ipoa Sumner, by party pipers aad party orators, and the approval or At beet oold dissent of the murder a of freemen la Kansas by the decipVs of ike same party, renders It quite aSMaesrj tkat somebody should show hisaeelf a faithful follower of the noble spirits who hold over freemen the rod of torror.

As we are inlormed his intention is to thus assault us, we might do what we would forever regret.

The Anderocnville Meeting. It would be useless to attempt a decription of this meeting. No words can convey any idea of its real character. Wt were on the ground at 8 o'clock,

bat hundreds had get there before ua. and from that time till about hall past twelve there was an uninterrupted stream pouring into the grounds. With many, the nuaiber that attend such s meetia,', is its moat important feature. In this respect this meeting was oever exceeded in eastern Indians never equalled. It is impossible to tell how many were to attendance; some fixed it st one number and others at another. If we may ex press to opinion, by comparing it with smaller gatheringa whoae numbers are stated with great confidence, we would aay, comparing It with the office holders convention which met in thsik Court Houat. on the 13th u:t, that there was oot JeM tbiII 30i000. That WM ttiimm ted at 1,600. No honeat man who ssw both, will say tbere was less than 20 times as many -some say 30 time. By make it 45,000. Our own opinion, in dependent of such a comparison, would oot fix the numbsr at over 16,000. But we care but little whether the number be estimated at 6,000, or 60.000.

Governor Reeder a Testimony

The New York papers are publish-1 It wss thought, it first, when DooginT the testimony of Gov. Reeder aa I las uttered these menacing words, that

to his removal from the office of Gov ernor of Kansas. We ivgret that our space will not allow us to publish it in full. It most clearly convicts ihr President of attempting to bribe the Governor, and of finally removing him on pretended grounds only. From this statement it appears that I President Pierce ii formed Gov. Reeder, in a personal interview in the Spring of 1855, that tho most urgent demands had been made for his removaland that "Gen. Atchison preased it in the most excited manner, and would listen to no reasoning at all." He further assured him, after full ex planationa had been mitde. that he was perfectly satisfied that his purchases of town lots were all right, and that all his proceedings in Kansas met his entire approbation At subsequent interviews he repented theae assurances, declaring bis conviction that his whole course had been perfectly proper, and that the complaints brought against him were wholly without foundation. But, as the aarre time, in consequence of the pressure upon him from Gen. Atchison und others, he desired Gov. Reeder to resign his office. It- endeavored to work upon his fear, saying that it would b untot for him to return to Kanena, that hit fe might be taken, and that the whole North would be inflnmed: Finding these hints ineffectual, and that Gov. eeder would i.ot resign, ho then pro posed to remove Mm, in a way fo obiate all his objections, asking him to send him a memorial upon thes.ibject and promising, in his letter of reniov al, to place it entirely upon ground of expediency, lo exonerate him from nil blame, to express the most unqualfit d approbation of hi official con duct, and to give him the Mission to China! Finding that this last engage ment could not be kept, inconsequence of Mr. McLane. intention not to re turn, he promised to give him some olher office, equally or more desira ble. A good deal of time was consap sumed in these negotiations. the 'resident himself prepaiing draft, of etters which be wished Governor iecder to sign, and the latter declin ng to hign them because they were evidently intended to put him in the attitude of consenting to his own re moval. The result of the hole was a declaration, on the part of the Preslent, that if he removed him it would be, not on ncccunt of bis official action, but of hi. Und .peculation., those very aoU of which h had previous!' xpresscd his entire approval. In all thi. President Pierce wa. en deavoring to obtain a colorable preext for doing an act, which hi. own udgment condemned, but which the Pro-Slavery propaganda required ht his hands. Mr. Atchison h! deman ded Reeder'a removal; the President had promised it; und the next queation was, howitoould best be done. He sought to inli t idate, then to coix. and finally t bribe Governoi Reeder into consenting to Iii own re moval. This is but one of a thou.Knd instances whete the patronage of the Government ha. been owed directly to promote the designs of the slavehulding interest. The disclosures made in thi testimony of Governor Reeder convict President Pierce of a degree of pusil lanimous subserviency and of unprin cipled trvachety of which even his best friends hitherto have not deemed htm capable. iu meeting m m " mwia,; The Republicans met at DloomlngTl..

We learn from our xi hangea I hit the Posters in the German language, of a hose delay to this place we spoke Uat week, were delayed generally, if nol universally. The Post Master at Indisnapoha.it appears, kept ilium sonnten d.ya, ao that they wight not reach any point in time fur circulation. Ths is a paft of the programme of the campaign. The Oeteje holders intend lo secure the German vote, hy nol allowing them to hear aud read, lor themselves. The well inlormed uf them, almost to a man, repudiate the achsmes of the proslavery party.

'We will Snbdue You

it wss to be confined to congress, but recent events show that it ia a part of the dying struggle of despotism, to attempt the subjugation of freemen in every quarter. It is a continuation of the threat of Jease D. Bright, to "crush out" the spirit of free thought and free speech, which dares call in queation the dicta of party herelinge. We have already alluded to the socie ty existing in the south, which has agents in every commercial city in the north, to ascertain the politics of the merchants and business men of the several cities, snd to turn sway all trade from those wno do not bow to the behests of southern msrters. The same spu it and the same practice prevails even in Indiens. Indeed there ia no other way of maintaining the present supremacy of the alave power here. They can not meet our srgumen'.s by arguments, hence they resort to the spirit of proscription. For some cause, our German citizens come in for the largest shsreof this proscriptive spirit. They have uever been regarded by the old line party aa worthy ol any conaideration, except ao far aa their votea might be used to promote their interests snd keep them in office. Thai they utterly disregard them, is manifest in the undying effort to introduce slavery into the new territories to which the hard-working foreigner waa wending bia way, and from which hs is 1 1 us excluded, unless he is willing to endure the degred. tion which attache. to white l.borerain al.ve states. And now ihat they refuse to be driven, In gsngs, like slaves, to support this outrage upon their rights, they sre proscribed. In Indianapolis, on the dsy ol the proslavery procession, sn attempt waa made to get the draymen to turn out as a company, in honor of the nomination of Mr. Buchansn, the friend of low wages. Some did so cheerfully, others reluctantly, under thrests, while some positively refused, among whom were two honest Germans. Forthwith the VtUktblmtt pub iished them as TRAITORS, and Dem ocrsls who hsd formerly employed them. now wholly pass them by, and refuse to jive them any hauling to do. They "must be aubdued," and if they can not be argued into the support ol slaver; they must be starved into It. They must be msde feel that to refuse to obey their would be masters is fatal to their inter esta. Akin to this a part of the same scheme of tvhduing the foreign population, i. the treatment received by Mr. M pyer sn excellent harness maker, and accomplished gentleman of this place. He i not only threatened with personal violence, by mmo of the hired bullies of the party, but two at least, of the office holders, have withdrawn their cuatom Irom him, in hopes to starve him into subjection. Dut they have missed their man. Mr. Meyer keep, most excellent harness and saddles for aale, but his principles can neither be bought, nor wrestd from him by violenee or stsrvation. fly the time the work of tvbdueing sut h men, and crushing out their love of lib arty, i. finished, Gabriel will be ready to blow. Bosket Meetings. In order to enable our friends in the country to act in concert, the following programme of meetings in the coun ty haa been agreed upon. These meetings arc not designed aa a substitute for the regular meetinga of the township clubs, but rather aa a com bination of the adjacent townships. E'trly arrangementa will be made to -ecu re sperkers from abroad. Col. Tom Smith has already promised to attend some of them the one at Brookville in particular. Morton and Cumback have also been written to. Curnbuck will be at Brxnkville, and at one or more of the other plaoes. It is duiired that ihe fiiends of each neighborhood agree upon the precise place near to water and groee, and prepare eats, stände fco.

Mr. Editor Tou will recollect giving a public banter, in the town of Anderaonville, the last Saturday in July, 1855, to discuss the Indiana Prohibitory Liquor Law, wiih the sub scriber in each Township in this coun ty. You will also recollect that 1 informed you that my time was taken up, the two fiist w-eks in August. Vou went home, and in your next paper proposed lo meet Dueler Gtffurd on the 3d Saturday in August, in Laurel. The Doctor accepted your proposal, and offered to meet you on the fourth Saturday in August in Metaraora. In your next issue, you aaid you could not attend at Metamora, the fourth Saturday in August, but would meet eilher the Doctor or roe, on the first Saturday in September at Bloom inggrove, and on the second Saturday Ul Metamora At Lawrel, Dr. Gifford accepted your proposition for Metnmora, and I accepted fur Blooming-

grove, tou will recollect stating to roe in the ohurch, in private interview nt Anderson vi lie, that you could not attend the Township meeting., only on Saturdays, but did agree to at tend three days in the week at the low er end of the county. After tbe fini Saturday in September, my tune was taken up until winter set in. Aa Messrs. T. M. . and II. S. Lane and yourself and others, have said, let the Supreme Court set the Prohibitory Law aside, and you would . i r. . . . 1 1 elect a oiipreme toort mat wouiu deride differently. 1 underaland the Prohibitory Law to be the great issue in the present canvas, sugar costed wiih Kansas. I now propose to meet you in the oti er twelve 'ioenihips of this county three daya in each ol the Uat two week, in September next, to discuss the Indiana Pruhibiiory Liquor Law. Please publish your acceptance or rejection to this proposition, in your nextpaper. W.B.ADAMS. With the utmost pleasure we give pTace to above from onr esteemed friend, Ree. W. B. Adams. While the prohibitory law was in existence, we. were willing and anxious to give our views on the principle of prohibition, a. well as the details of the late law. We did so, in several places, condemning many of ita provisions, is both unconstitutional and impolitic, and defending such as wc thought suited to ihe wants of the times. In the discussion at Bloominggrove it will be remembered that when Mr. Adams eame to anderstand our position, it was almost identical with his own. We both wanted to dry up tl e evils resulting from tippling housos, and boih wanted lo do ii wiih the least possible infringement upon the social and commercial rights of others. Even the difference in the details was not considered sufficient to justify any further discussion. Mr. Adnata nev er denounced some of the more odius features of that law more bitterly than we have done, both editorially and in apeechea. Aa to the Prohibitory law's being "the grat issue of the present canvnsM," our friend is mistaken. It can not, in any degree, enter into it, except in the mind of an extreme Luetic. No temperanoc man but a fanatic can expect to accomplish any thing by electing the roost ultra temperance man. for the supreme court ns s i defined (he constitution as to forever banish the idea of prohibition while that court holds ita power. Not even a legislature composed of ultra temperance men like Judge Raid, (whose bill was the most ultra ever introduced in Indiana) could accom plish any thing moro than will likely be done by the old liners who may happtn lo be members of ihe coming legislature. Tbey are pledged to adapt legislation to the views of Ihe Supreme Oourt, the others could do no more. Thegrent Issue is, SHALL KAN 8A8 BE FREE? And as wa would be willing to help an old liner or a new liner, a native or a foreign born citiien, a bank or anli bank man drive back those wh3 would over-run our country und lay It n ie, so we nak not what are a man's views on prob! bition, tjt banking, or tariffs or Inter nal improvements, or any thing elae. We ask only ia he willing to atay the dvasolating scourge of slavery, nod re .lore our oouniry to peace aad quiet ness. We art in the midst of civl war. Ita first skirmishes have been lougbliind the war elould thickens This täte of affaire haa been brought upon ua by the course of the present administration, and wa ask all men who deplure ihem lo aid In restoring peaee. We hope to do this, by elec ting a legislature that will not re-elect that Kentucky slave holder, Jesse D. Blight, whose laige plantation, well slocked wiih negrucs, in Km lucky, has received more of bis attention than ihe interests of the people of In dlana. We want men also who will nut vulc fur John Petiit, the man who pronounces the Declaration ol Independence A SELF-EVIDENT LIE I 8uch men we take Messrs. BrunJrvth and Clum to be. That we arc sin cere in this, is manifest in the faot thai neither uf those men, if wc have been correctly informed, haa ever been a friend of Prohibition, farther than our friend Adams is. If friend Adama wishes to justify the course of the preacnt administration, in the Kanaas matter, and wishes to have Bright snd Petdl re-elected we will take pleasure in meeting him at the times aUtvu Indicated, in the townships he peaks of. We do not wish to discuss aay question that has nothing to do with the approaohing election. Bui we shall be disappointed to und him, with his Influunoe, arrayed against the cause of huin-n Ireedom. The very mm of character which made him sensitive to the wrongs which he, with onrsti:, deplored in the late prohibitory law, will moke him olive to the

wrongs which his fellow me have suffered, and are new suffering in Kan sas. He can not look with indifference upon the bloodshed and ruin which the present administration has caused- When this question is settled we shall expect bim to ar. ay himself on whatever side, of any new questions tbat may arise, tbat will best comport with his views of righl and wrong. But as he loves truth, at he lov.-s liberty, as he loves his bible, as he lores the privilege of preaching, without molestation, wherever he

chooses, so shall we expert his influence in removing from power those who are enemies to all these. When questii ns arise on which he and we differ, we will diecusa ibem wiih him with pleasure, for he is a man of moral worth and social position, and treats a disputant in a kind and christian manner. Meanwhile, let u; co-op-erate on the queatir ns on which we agree. A Word to Old Liners Tbe following note fram Mr. Lines, speaks for itself. Mr. Linea is well known as having been a devoted partisan, until he has discovered that there ia no iniquity which the leaders of that parly will not attempt to drive their men to support. Every honest man must respeslthe manly firmdess with which he throws off the yoke and resolves to be free himself, and to preserve freedom for Kanaaa. r the Indiana A wart. Mr. Enrron: I have vot-d wilb ihe old liners all my life. But ihe laa two years thai 1 voted with them. 1 voted against my good convictions, knowing I did wrong, for I think bo lover of hia country or of his God. or of his own freedom can vote with ib old lint- democrat party at thi. lime, for a great quesiiun is at stake, slavery or freedom, two great and important questions, now is the lime for every honest and true man lo his country, lo vote from principle, and by our voto. slavery shall stop where it now is, and say i hon shall go nu further, for I fear this Union ia already cureed for alavery. Old liners, you who vote tu extend slat cry. think what you are doing When you vote for Buchanan you vote for Slavery. God made this earth to be free, nol lobe curst with Slavery. I would lo God every old liner would, like myaelf, forget party and go in for principle. When 1 voted ihe democrat ticket I waa like (kousands uf them I know I would voted the ticket, if 1 was surest would ink the government, just for ihe sake of party. If 1 had a thousand votes. I would give them all lo Fremont and Freedom, G. W. LINES. Brookville, July 16. 1866. Forth. Indiana Aratrtcea. Republican Meeting. From prevtoua notice the Republicans of Mi.
