It so happened that on the next day, he had another ease, involving the same point, but he waa employed on the ether side. Nothing daunted. he began to-expound the law, just the ! revent of that given the day before; bat an honest old juryman, not know. s ing of way legislative power possessed by tte lawyer, stopt bin fry saying: "See here air, didn't you tell us yesterday that the law was jnst the reverse of what yon bow say V "Well Yes," said the lawyer, "I believe I bat i was lying then, bnt now 1 Illing you the honest truth, pon jy honor." "Upon your honor!' said the old man. "You have no honor. A man that will lie once will lie again. ' I wouldn't believe yon if you aboard swear to it !" Judge Logaa in his speech at Mt.

Wewubfeo our feMhg. tfeech recently deHNreredtt a meeting iaKeetSUcky, to sawn the tfaion. We ptbUakit by tautest ofonr friend. Judge Johnston, bat we eoaid pub lish no speech better calculated to awake the slumbering freemen of the north. It vindicates what we have said for more than two years there ia bfit one. party in the south the pro-slaver . , party the Union taving party! It Is nothing to us that he spits his venom at the people who voted for Genu Harrison and Oen. Taylor, in stead ef his illustrious father, for we never voted for either of them. It il lastjntis however the pertinacity with which he inherits some of his father's mortification. He tells how his father and others allayed the agitation of 1820 by giving the south a'l they then wanted, en their promising to take that aad be satisfied, but he fails to tell that it was their violation of this agreement, by demanding what they then surrendered, that crated the present excitement, lie has however too ranch good sense to say that that restriction was uneoo'titutional, like lawyer Hubbard and Hon. Mr. Samuele aay. His argument in behalf of Buchanan is the only one that any man ean give to save the Union ! He heartily endorses the disunion speech of Fillmore at Albany, in which he avows that the south would be justified in dissolving Hie Union, if Fremont is elected, and asperses the name of his "revered father" by charging him with being a disunion ist, for ho supported men on the tame side of Mason A Dixon, more than oaee. The epoch confirms what wo have so often stated that alt isms in the south are absorbed ia the slavery extension scheue, of Pierce, Douglas, Buchanan A Co., and thai they have no reason to put forth in justification of their designs, but to stand like cowards and shake thsir disunion clubs over our heads, and say, "disunion! disunion 1 1 We pity the craven hearted soul who will cowardly say "Deal strike, and we'll help carry slavery every where." Read that speech It ia from the Eayet'rer and regarded as the best of the season. It endorses the Know Nothing candidate, yet perfers Buchanan because there is no hope of Fillmore. Ittuliattoo, The merchants and bustnes men of the south having formed an alliance, designed to starve into subjection northern men who oppose the election of Buchanan, their candidate, it becomes all lovers of right and justice in the north, to inquire after those proscribed merchants aad traders, and to deal with them exclusively. Though there is no combined effort, we are happy to learn that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of western merchants who intend to remember this prine-ple in making their fall purchases. Il it a state of things to be deplored, but it is a system of self-defense that can not be nvoided, unlee we intend to quietly submit to every exaction that our masters would lay upon us. It is time too, that men who dare to do right, and express their sentiments like freemen, should knew that theie fellow freemen will not abandon them a prey to proscription and intolerance. And, we guess that in the double game thus to be played, merchants who sell their principles, in order to procure customers for their goods, will find that the patronage of the free north, with its teeming millions of free consumers, is quite as profitable as that of the south with its slavery. Let our merchants be firm, and true to the cause of freedom. An Avowed Disunion ist. Judge Logan repeated his disunion speaah at Mt. Carmel, last Saturday, in which he took the lulifying ground of Fillmore and Toombs, that, if FremoDt it elected the union ought to bo dissolved and, such ia the justice of the cause of the south, that, in case of a disruption, his sympathies are with the south and he will fight on their side. We hope the Democrats will keep the Judge employed in stump peaking till the election. His honest confessions of the lying of the party ix jean ago, to "cajole" the abolitiooists, and bis open avowal of disunion sentiments art waking up honest people. With such sentiments north and south, the people begin to see the necessity of putting a MAN, and not n mere platform in the chair of State. The Constitutionality Question We have repeatedly shown, from lengthy extracts from the Democrats of 1840-60 that the constitution justified and sound policy required the positive exclusion of slavery ftom our territories. The following from the life of Judge Story, one of the' greatest men of this nation will show bis opinion in 1820 when the question was under discussion in regard to Missouri: "He closed the discussion in a speech of great ability and interest. In the course of a most conclusive and elaborate argument in whioh be examined all the clauses of the Constitu Uon nod ordinances relating to th: subject he demonstrated the constitu t tonality of excluding Slavery from Missouri, that the spirit of the Constitution, the principles of our free Government, the tenor of the Declaration of Independence and the dictates of humanity and sound policy were all directly opposed to the extension of Slavery." It is amusing to he' uch jurists as r Wiley, W. W. Hubbard and John Samuels, arguing the unconstitutionality of the Missouri restriction.

Bailiff Expenses. Don't be acard, reader, we are

near through. We intend to show you that you pay a heavy tax to support mere hangers on. We showed two weeks ago that your expenses for bailiffs the year ending with the July Court was 8843 deducting from 8855 812 for wood that was, through mistake, included In the first report, as all were act down by. the Auditor under the general head "Specifflo Allowance," Our Sheriff who has grown rich at your expense, with characteristic honesty, attempts to evade these facts by telling around, that in the courts under Oakley St. John, the Bailiff averaged 13 while bis averages only 8, but be fails to tell you that then there were only two courts per year, now there are six, aad with equal honesty be fails to tell yeu that often those bailiffs served only one day. When there was a pressing necessity, St. John employed a man, and when the work wae done he paid him off and 1ft him go. lie did not keep nun hanging around Court for two weeks, sucking the public teat. Let the following facta and figures tell their own tale. If they lie, the Record lies, that's all. In order to avoid unfairness we have taken the figures of three consecutive years 41-'8 and '3.

We cat afford to be called a liar when the figures bick us up in this stylo, tl may not be out of place to say that the bailiffs expenses for the court just closed were 8143, yet there were but three sttbpenas served, to appear hefore the Grand, Jury, and two of them were served in Ilrookville. That is paying foe State business with a vengeaneo. In addition to this allowance the Commissioners allow the Sheriff 8100 per year for extia services not otherwise provided for. Try agwn, Michael. Buchanan in Kentucky. Contrary to our eipectalions, the result of the late Kentucky eleciion indioates that that State will go for Buchanan by some 10,000 majority. With ail the appliances of local interests, and with all the influence of the strife for local office, the Fillmore men hnve a bare msjority if that, out of 10.000 to begin with. The entire State bae not vet been heard from.

In his speech at Bloominggrove, Judge Logan sard that if Fremont is elected the Union will be dissolved nnd as 'he south is right in this controversy he'll go with the South.

We are quite anxious, oursclf to tee the Governor's answer to some of those questions. What will tust Dol Will the Freemen of Floyd and Vigo, nnd Tijpecanoe sad .Putnam snd other counties that hsve been dlslrsnchistd by Gov.

W Two of the delegates to the late General Conference of tlx M. E. Cnurch have died sii.ee thai body closed its session vis Rev. S. C. Coop er of North Ind., and Rev. U. W. Walker of Cincinnati Conference. Both men of ability and ripe experi ence whose places will be difficult to supply. Evxn Haniibo Justicb. Judge Crawford, who lined Mr. Brooks three hundred doll ir for an assault which in his personal oonsequenoea is not unlikely to prove more deplorable than the instant death of the victim , has sentenced it poor man to one year's imprUonmtnt for a aimple assault. 44T Thcugb the county paid 8 1 43 for bailiffs for serving three subpvnae before lira Grand Jury, and attending about six jury trials, there were not enough to sweep out Ihe Court House during the entire two week. Tnut I a separate bill. It would be a disgrace for a bailiff tr sweep. Henry bibley a oolored man usually docs that.

Fremont e Religion. The following certificate foard appear to seile ih.j question wi ich has been, raised In reference to Col. Fiemoot's religion. Mr. J. 0, Nelson, one of hia schoolmates, testi6ee ihm he was a member of the same Sunday School class with Fremont, and while he was a member of the Junior Class of Charleston College, and that he saw him t the age of sixteen confirmed a member of the Protestant

Episcopal Church, by tho Bishop of South Carolina. Although Col. Fremont could not procure the services of a Protestant clergyman, being obliged, after neve ral had declined, to accept the servicesof a Catholic Driest to unite him to sajsW iijpasM. - 1 1 a I BBS il,nj. sr. ' r Jessie, he seems to have called upon his regular pastor to perform the office next in order, as an occasion arose for it arose in his family, which the certificate already referred to very satisfactorily shown: "WAs.iixi.roN, July 12, 1866. "The following children of J. C and Jessie Bentoi. Fremont have been baptised in the Chureh of the Parish of the Epiphany, Washington, D. C, th Ir baptisms being recorded in the rotinter of said Parinh. "1848, Aug. 16, Jv McUowel Benton Fremont. 1848, Auir. 16, Benton Fremont. "1863, Dec. 8, John Charles Fre mont. "1866, Aug.

"As none were haptited in a house, but all weiebromaJit to i church, the or der of a Protestant EpMcnpal Church for the "Ministration ot Public rjHp Uhis (o Infants," was that which were used J W FRENCH, "Reeto'of thaparinh of the Kpiph any, Wnaiington.

Sheriff Batfner against Himself Our sheriff, the sheriff thst needs the services of three men, the year round, to b; paid for pot of the county treasury, does soino big swearing about us, and we understand that when he can go no further he stands stock still and ssys ' he tjae, he lies, he lies," butwheu inked lor specification, he says: ''why he lies ail over." We learn that in some of his spscehes he says thst ho keeps (ewer bailiffs than was kept under a Whig sheriff some time ego. That, sheriff be ssys, averaged 13 J per term ol court, while Mr. Batzner averages only 8), but, an he inteuil tliiu tigtiiug filly for ignorant people, ke carefully conceals the fact that then there were but two terms of court per year, making 27 bailiffs per year, now there are six terms, making 51 per year. The sheriff, by his own showing, convicts himself of using nearly twice as many as the most extravagant Whig sheriff on reord. We learn also that he charges us with lying because in our article two weeks ago we ouly charged him with extortion in civil cases, while he collects costs alike in both civil and criminsl esses.Our apology is that we had not learned the whole truth. It is twice as bad as we thought it was. We accept tho amendment and give the sheriff the ben efit of it—over the left. ———<>——— Insuperable Neglect. We are constantly in the receipt of complaints from our subscribers whose papers pass over the Cincinnati route that their papers are always damaged whenever it rains while the mail is between Brookvile [sic] and Cincinnati. We have endured similar wrong in our letters and papers by that route. If it rains, the mail invariably gets wet. The remedy is with the Post Masters, but they neglect to apply it. It is their duty to see that the mail is carried in a "secure dry boot, under the drivers feet or in the box which constitues [sic] the drivers seat." "The newspaper mail may be carried in the boot behind the stage but it must not be exposed to the weather." Then it is the sworn duty of Post Masters to "report all instances in which the mails are carried without being secured from the weather." Yet this state of affairs has been permitted for more than a year without any successful effort to remedy it. ———<>——— 8hs Tsxsa That Brr.One or th best looking girls In the county, accept the bet of thst young Fremonter who proposes to bet himself against any good looking girl who will bet that Indians will go lor Bucbsnsn. She lays she confidently expects to lose the bet, and being a Fremonter, would rather lose than wm, but the Is wlllliigto risk it.snd let him take her. Like a sensible girl, that she la, she has spoken to us to hand ker over about the first of December. We'll remember that. Basket Meeting!. Remember the Basket Meeting near Squire Lowe's, in While Water, on Saturday the SOlh Inst. The old acquaintances of WILL CUMBACK intend to give him a hearty welcome home. None are more anxious to ii e him, and heartily thank him for his able and constant defense of freedom, than the men among whom he grew up, some ef whvm refused to vote for him two years ago but who would rather vole for him now, than any man in the district. The Basket Meeting at Metaroora has been fixed for Wednesday Sept, 3 Hackluman and Trualei have prom tsod to attend, aud Cumbach will attend if possible.

a In Trouble.

It is had enough to have to vacate the Sheriff's office, Recorder' office and Treasurer's office to any body but the faithful followers of Buck and Bright, but the bare probability of having Goodwin in one ol those nice little rooms, is distressing beyond endurance. Hence every conceivable scheme is resorted to to prevent it. Treasurer Robeson, fearing that he may have to give the keys to the man whom he pounded to the worthof TWO DOLLARS, has sent word to some Republicans that if they will only get Goodwin off, and put any body else on, he wiU support the wAole ticket with his own vote and all Ai irßnence, such is his personal hatred of Dr. Elliott. Nobody believes him, and no body is very anxious to buy either his vote or his influence, but his proposition shows how much he dreads the future. lie rn iy, and probably will, scratch off Dr. Elliott, but he would not vote for a Republican at any price. He will not buy of one, if he can help it. Pole Raising at White- mb The frtemtn of WhiPvmb, endor sing the doctrine of the yreiit states man, after whom their town it named, met last Saturday to erect a flag staff on which shoul 1 float a banner en scribed to freedom. It is a beautiful fole. The crowd was ably addressed byP A. Ilackleman Esq , of Itush ville and Joseph Brady Esq, of New Castle. Hackleman's speeoh was a noble vindication of the cause of truth and well received. Mr, Brady was listened to with intense iuterest, as he narrated the circumstances that led to his espousing the eanseof freedom, or rather which prevented Iris follow ing off the party leaders from the freedom platform, on which the whole party stood a few years ago. His speeches will do good. He is well known and much beloved in this county, though he is already ranked among the liars by those who have no other tnswer to make to tho plain truths he utters. He wilt devote some linw to visiting the people of this county and speaking in behalf of free speech. MriiPEK will ott ! It wss at firsts mutter of wonder why the Commissioners bought that aplendid corn furm for a situation for the asylum. We had an intimation of the seoret, several weeks ago, but wo thought wu would wait, lest our guessing should thwart their prospects. Children will ttomeitimes let out what old folks want kept se cret. By this meana we learned (how, we will not tell now) some time ago, that the farm was bought at the earnest solicitation of Treasurer Rob eson, and that he would tako a part of it. The trade is completed. Last Hrrr-lr -tl... t rt mnui twLrm ct. .Irl l,im .14 acres, off of the South part, including the best of the land, the orchard, barns, stables, houses dec, &c, at 83, 000 jnst 8600 more than it cost, averag'ng that part, with its improvement", at 65 per acre, the price aid for the whole farm. Mr. Robeson had long wanted that part of the farm but could not get it of Mr. Stringer, so he got the county to buy it, and he bought it of the county, at his own Bgures. No difference, it is all in the family. Letter from Grasmuck. We are pleased to lay before our readers another letter from this stern old Democrat. He has seen and felt the elephant, called Popular Sovereignty, and gives us tho result. But, strange as it may appear to him, he will bo called a liar for thus expressing his opinion. That is the argument. Every man is a liar who says there is any thing wrong in Kansas, except what the Abolitionists cause. Even Judge Logan decided llint the Kansas Investigating Report was a lit, for it was written in Washington before the Committee went out. We hope our old friend will write again, for if some do call him a liar, the honest thi. king portion, read his personal observations with great interest. The Law of Self Defsaie A few days ago a lady of Somerset in this county Mrs. Agness Spencer, an industrious and worthy lady, httving borne, tho troubles of a drunk en husband for years, untill forbenrance ceased to be a virtue, procured a cooper's hand nxe, nnd went to the grocery k pt by J ouu Kox, anddrova him out, broke every thing breakable, cut the hoops from barrel and kegs, and when done, found herm lf standing shoo top deep, in Walker's be$t. Timklt Noticb. A Laurel conesnondent wishes to jrive notice that if the Methodists wish to retain Wesley Morrow, tin y must send a pro-slavery nreneher there. Sineo his tour of tu mila in Kansas, he has quit 'tending class and won't ring any in church. That trip must have been an oJs nmg one Ho told Mr. Wright and others, after hi return, that he believed slavery wm a good institution, nnd ought to go into Kansas. That territory being bounded by a luve stale, it ought to be a slave state the South are entitled to it nnd a negro has no more soul than a horse. Wo don't wonder that he has quit bis clasa and quit singing let. D ft-"The Mi&KKABLE. HLEAREYED KAlllil.K who have been transteued. like SO MANY CATTLE, to that new country, are more to be pitied limn blamed " This is what the Washington Union says of the Northern emigrants who have recently gone into Kansas. The liiend t of these "miserable blear-eyed rubblu" will have something to say in reply on the 4iL of November.

The Free Steten . Hon Humphrey Marshall has written a letter to the editor of the Frankfort, Ky.. Cotnmomeeaht, denying the rumor which connected him with an alleged conspiracy to defeat Buchanan and elect Breckenbridge, and giving his views generally of the pending contest. He speculates considerably on the chances of Mr. Fillmore, in case the election ehould go to the

House of Representatives, and closes with this emphatic opinion of Mr. Bu chanan: "The people of tl.e Slavebolding Slates ean elect Mr. Fillmore without sending the election to the House, if they will unite on him. A union Ufon Mr. Buchanan will not, eannot, now accomplish that result. He is too weak io the Free States to do any good there with biro. 1 do not hilieve he can cany a single Free Bute, if Mr. Fillraore wire dropped to-day! I feci Certain he could not. I make no app al for sectional support, for I abhor ail sectionalism ap&rt from principles but let the men who have been crying out for a united South ronsider it, and go for Fillmore and Dooelson, either of whom would be safe for the South. Yours, H. MARSHALL. Mr. Marsball is a Kentuckian, and tlierefore not likely U underrate the strength of the Pro-Slavery candidate in the North, lie is an astute and experienced politician, and therefore not likely to be- misled by the mere clamor of contending parties. His conviction of Mr. Buchanan's weakness is the result of his own personal observations, and doss credit to hi sagaeity. Another Southern 'politician of eqnal sagacity, and still greater experience, Senator Pearce, of Maryland, has also written a letter giving bis view of the prospects of the coming election. He has always been a Whig, is a warm admirer of Mr. Fillmore, and would gladly aid his eleciion if he could see the slightest indication of possible success. But he ays: "Tho contest, it seems to me, lie between Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Fremont. Mr. Fillmore's friends indeed slum a reaction in his favor; hut I have taken much pains to ascertain what hia strength is in the Free States, and bo fir 1 h ive not been able to satisfy myself that he can carry a single one of them. Mr. Fillmore's strength lies in the Whig States of the South. If all the Southern States would give him their votes, he would fail in the election, without such assistance from '.he Free States as it would be vain to look for. The choice, then, is between Buchannu and Fremont, and what Maryland Whig, believing as I do, can hesitate?" Here we have two of the most prominent and distinguished Southern politicians, declaring their solemn belief, the one that Buchanan, and the other that Fillmore, ctmnot carry a sinjrle one of the Free States. Time TrtH probally show that both right. arc Look Ont for Them. A private letter from Shelbyville Ind. of tbe 7th inst., saya: The so called "Blake Family," are or were last week making their way toward your place. The oommunity here is indignant at them. We have had a specimen of their good m ral teachings. They well nigh succeeded in a foul plot of decoying two little girls from their parents in this place ages 11 and 13. The evidence of this is sufficient to rouse the community, but perhaps not to convict in a court, so as to make out a ease of adduction. They are no doubt a fatt troop. Warn the people of them. W. W. 8. Col. Fremont at Home. The nomination of Colonel Fremont seems to have been received with very decided satisfaction in California, if the proceedings of the Republican ratification meeting at Baa Francisco, on the 1 9th may bu regarded as an indication of popular sentiment. The character of the meeting i indicated by tho men who participated in it. nnd in ihc long list af KiKcer and speakers will be found the name of geiitlemen who were good citiaens and good democrats in this pint of the country, before they migrated to California. There, a here, tho novel test of Democracy applied by the manager of the Cincinnati Convention are fast thinning the ranks of an organisation now almost surrendered to the slave pon er, Ol the seven or eight speakers who addressed the meeting, more than hall proclaimed themselves democrats, who could abide by Mr. linchanan or his platform, but recognised in the platform of llie Republican parly tbe principles of the illustrious men who founded tin- democratic party. The rapidity with which the Kepub-In-in parly has sprung into existence in California, a State overridden by loathwrt nu n, in whose hands era ail the nlliecs of honor and emolument, must, however, be explained by the enthuri..m with which Colonel Fremont is there universally regarded. His personal trails of courage, sagaeity and almost auperhuinin endurance, and the constant Internal nmniroated by him in tho welfare of his adopted State, have gained hire a place In the hearts of il citizens, which an occasion like this most unmislakeable reveals, A few weeks ago there was but one Republican paper in San Franoisoo, ana very little enthusiasm seemed to animate the parly, but Ihe nomination of Fremont bus awakened the whole city, pnd the letter of our correspond etit, whose information can be relied upon with much confidence, states that he will receive two-thirds of the vote of San Francisco. Among the miners, hunters, pioneers, and rough population distrib uted throughout the interior, the nomination of a man who bas "toiled, nnd wrought, and fought with them," will lake even better than in the large cities; and, from the present prospect, the vote m California for tbe Republican candidates next November, will compare noi unfavorably wnh the vole of our Eastern stales.

In the Senate, Feb. U. App. to Cong. Globe, page 96. Mr. Jones, of Tennesee, said; "We have a question before ns and our country which I think of far more importance to our interest and honor, and to the perpetuity of our institutions, than the questions whether or not Mr. Crampton should be withdrawn. The begia ning of the difficulties may be found in an earnest, ardent, and pardon me for saying, RECKLESS determination to repeal the clause of tbe Kansas Nebraska bill which abrogates tbe Missouri restriction. We ask nothing but what the Constitution uarantees to us. That much WE WILL HAVE! I do not wish to be excited on this matter. We do not wish tobe driven from onr propriety; but there is a fined, immutable, universal determination oa tbe part of the South NEVER TO BE DRIVEN A MNGLK INCH FURTHER.

The Buchaneers have been crowing over tbe re-election of Hall as amighly triumph, though they never believed that he was elected. They started the lie in their journal, knowing that it would go the rounds, and encourage ti e brethren who would never see a contradiction in tho columns of their own party organs. A letter fro ii Burlington, Iowa, hue been received by Mr John D. D. frees. of Indianapolis, Chairman of the Re publican State Central Committee, which settles the matter fori ver. The following extract gives the result: In the First District, Col. Curtis lends his Democratic competitor, Au tfustus Hall, the present member 1.392 votes, with a few sparsely settled counties to hear from, whirh will not materially affect the result. In the Second District, Davis, (Re publican) leads his competitor, 3.280, with a few small counties to hear from, which will increase that majority. Our State ticket haa a majority of about 7,000. Of the 36 Senators we have 26 of the Tt "Representatives we have 46 to 50. Set down 16,000 for Fremont. We are working for it and must win. After all the efforts of old line to get John Chambers to certify that be never said slavery ass a a good institution and that he supports Buch anan on the ground of his slavery views alone, may have failed to do il. John has too much regard for his consistency and trulb, to be caught in any such trap. He has talked so for months, and he will not take it back. We respect his candor, though we MrW fr a4w ee-ttte utility ot sla very. Proclamation of the President An Extra'.Session Called. Washisotok, Aug. 18. A Cabinet meeting this afternoon, decided on the following proclamation ly the President of the United States: Wiiekkvl, While hostilities exist with various Indian tribes on tbe remole frontiers of the United States, and whiUt in other respects the public pence is seriously threatened, Congress has adjot rneu without granting (he necessary supplies for the army, depriving the Executive of the power to perform his duty in relation to the common defence aud security, and as an extraordinary occasion has thus arisen for assembling the House of Congress. 1 do therefore, by this, my proclamation, convene said housea to meet at the Capitol in the city of Washingtoo, Thursday, 21st day of August, hereby requiring the respective Senators and Representatives then, and there, to assemble, to consult and deiermioe on said measures as tbe state of the Union may seem to require. In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United Stales to be hereunto affiled and signed the same with my hand. Done at the city of Wahidgton the 18th day of August, in tie year of our Load 1866 and of the Indipend nee of the United Slates the t ight) - first. FHANKLIN PIERCE. By order W. L. Marcy, Secretary.

The Weatporl Border Ruffian extra, of the I Oil), slates (hat lam Monday uighl two hundred Free Soil era attacked the town of Franklin, in which were but four l'ro-Siavery nu n. the tight lusted lour hours. Fovr Pro-Slavery men and six Free-Soilers were killed. The posl-ofhce w a robbed and set on fire. The assailants finally retired, car ying off a cannon belonging to tbe town. Later reports state that seventeen Free-Soileis were killed and wounoed. One bun lied U.S. troops occupied the town next day. Three hundred of Lane's men had enteree Topeka, Bill Allen's Onnioh or Tan Cxrr Jimmy U would seem from the following that "Ohio's tall young Senator " has formed but a meagre opinion of the.l'ro Slavery nominee for the Presidency. Read what be says f the old Buck. "He stands no ohanc i the world. He is a moderate man. He is a man of some attainments and some sense ; but he is a contracted man a little man. and proverbially selfish. He is one of those men who, if there were a eirous in this town, would be too stingy to go to the door and pay his qyarter logo in; but would inase Ins way behind the pavilion, cut a hole in the canvass with his pocket knife, and steal his sight at the show. Tbos. H. Bringhurst, editor of the Logansport Journal, was nominated by the Republicans of Cass County, on Saturday, last, as their candidate for Representative. This was an excellent selection, and one we doubt not will be heartily ratified by the people at the polls, in October.

The Tint Triaaiph oft The New-York Tribune say at "The reduction of postages waa 8k t most if not quite the first msnenwB that was carried by tbe North agaiatet the South.

Tbe Southern eaiage bilb have alwa; s been footed by tbe North, and the slaveholders were afraid that the new experiment muht inure in some way to their detriment.
