The Bible contains no more beautiful exemplification of a faithful citisen and Christian gentleman, than that exhibited by DanieL Danieldid not deem it incompatible with the duty he owed to God to serve hit king." Now we were not willing that so estimable a "Clftistian gentleman" as old Daniel should be so slandered, and his name made to subserve the cause of human servitude, and lower-lawism, hence our remarks. Incidentally, and only incidentally, we alluded to the literary merits of the address, Derer dreaming that either its author or his friends claimed exemption from criticism on a literary performance We were conscious of not doing the subject justice, but our apology is that we only alluded to the merits of the address without pretending to review it in detail. But our remarks gave great offense. Home of Mr. MoMullen'e friends stopped the AxaatCAN instanter, and others 'threatened, and finally, to vindicate hie wounded literary reputation, some injudicious friend has had it published, and w have been requested to read it, publish it, and then review it We have read it, and it will be found on our first page this week, while, with due fear and trembling, we undertake to review it but as thousands will read this paper who never saw our offensive remarks, we will republish them entire: Tau MrSluHoa It a trenbtoMSts aula.

It is due to ourself and to Mr. McMullen to eay that we did net hear his addreea We arrived in Greencastle the next day, and only Aorrd of it. But we .heard only one opinion. We heard lawyers, doctors, preachers, professors, students, trustees, farmers, mechanics, merchants and ladies speaking of it, and there was but one opinion expressed, and that was that it was an outrage upon thejproprieties of the occasion. That it was no ordinary blunder will appear from the fact that one of the trustees offered a resolution in the board condemnatory of it, which was withdrawn only because it was not considered proper that the board should take cognisance of the addressee before the literary eoeistiea To the best of oar knowledge, every trustee who spoke in regard to it condemned it Not that they objected to ka doctrines, but because it was unworthy thT place and the occasion. When such men as Hon. H 8. Lane, Hon. S. W. Parker.'John Ingle, Esq., David G. Rose, Esq., Rev. William eon Terrell, Rev. Chaa B. Davidson, and Rev. J. L Smith condemn a lecture as being in bad taste and inappropriate, it cannot be charged that it is jealousy, or a love of old linelsm that prompts it They had no objections to its doctrines, but its style, and the using of such an occasion for such a purpose. And now let us, as requested, look at the address as it has been published, for we hare been sjfld that now it is lawful to review it 1. It announces in the first sentence that "it is not much of a literary address," in quite as plain terms as we did in 'our short notioe of it He is " there without manuscript. ' 1 Would Everett, or Choate, or Durbin, or Beeoher, or Thompson, would any ordinary man think of appearing before a literary audience, on a literary festal occasion, to deliver a literary address without manuscript? It h prima facia eridi uce that we did not misrepresent the performance when we called it u harum-eoar-tck. Ho doea not nrafeaa to have it out and committed it to memory, bat he leaves hia "geniu to flash forth like lightning from'tke bosom of the storm-cloud.' Well, it did, if reports be true, and like lightning it scathed rhetoric and logic, facts and figures, not sparing tho Onsen's English, nor the dignitaries of Htate, hurling theni all, scathed and riven, pell mell, into one common perdition, buried deep under such adjectives as hellish, devilish, and infernal. 2. The matter of tho speech as reported. (Whether written before or sines is not ma terial it rnuat have been written since or it had "brought down the stupendous) powers of his mind, and imposed undue restraints on his emotional nature) Read it It is but a common-place epitome on the life of Daniel as recorded in the Bible, and explained by "the great Dr. Adam Clarke," except

where it introduces Willard, Hammond,

Perkins, and Old Ltnsism, by way of illustration, and the Democratic caucus that elected Bright, instead of Wright, "the purest man of his party," ae a parallel. So much for the Address as published But that is not the address which was delivered It was tin addruM at delirtrtd, that ws insiden tolly alluded to. We sought to sav as little of it. except in nraise. as the tacts would justify. As a member of thin Platonean Society, and as a friend of education, wo thought it proper to say that neither the Platoneans nor the friends of ths University regarded such a performance as a literary performance worthy the occasion or the place. Mr. McMullen' being young, we went as far as we could to defend him, and said as little in dispraise as possible. We did not quote his flights when "genius flashed forth like lightning," and he sought to allure the young men to higher attainments by telling him that be was himself only a self-made man, yet "he intended to excel, them or burst ths boiler," and now we might entertain our readers with many such expressions, but we will not We have complied with the request of Mr. M s friends, though we have not yet done the subject justice- When the speech, at delivered, is published, we will honor it with a mors extended review. Meanwhile let us assure our readers that we heartily endorse the doctrines of the addrees. They are noble and just nd " greatly respect him, for entertaining them, tho' ws do not think that either the pulpit or the literary hall the place to abuse even as worthless men as and Willard Jndge Perkin a. nOW-NOTHTNOIfM. There never was a greater blunder than the organisation of the Know Nothing par ty. Its onginal conception did not, however, contemplate more than a local remedy for the evils growing out of foreign influences in the city of New York.. It worked so charmingly there that it spread rapidly, and soon aspired to become national. But no po- j litical party organised as it was, could be permanent It contained the elements of its own destruction, in the inducements it offered to corruption. But whoever supposes that the foundation of Know-Nothingism perished with the frail fabric thus injudiciously erected, is mifttaksn. The srils of foreignism had long been felt and acknowledged by honest men of all parties. Much an element as it was and , can but be disturbing and alarming. The foreign population, from its olannish. ness, encouraged as it was and it, to retain its foreign character by the demagogues who court them at foreigners, is capable of producing endless mischief. It can prevent at any time, an expression of popular opinion, on any subject by being wielded, as in the late election in this State, against the real and known sentimsnts of foreigners themselvee. When moving as a body, not ln regard to the merits of the questions at issue, but at the will of tho demagogues whom they serve, they are more apt to thwart their own wills than to subserve them. We admit that a general conviction of cor ruption in the Democratic party pervading the rank and file of that party as well as the opposition, contributed somewhat to the rapid growth of tho Know Nothing party in 1854. But the real cause of that mighty upheaval was the conviction that there was svil in connection with foreignism that need ed cure. The failure to effect that cure was the result of unwise organisation, and an attempt to make it subserve other purposes. Ths evil exists yst and the fires yet burn within, which, under wiser management, will cause another quaking of parties ere long The American People will not be ruled by aliens or foreigners. They aro willing to admit men of foreign birth to terms of equality with themselves, but only by their becoming Americant They must not only renounce their allegiance to other countries, but swear allegiance to this, and then they must be willing to coalesce with Americans, net sad of seeking to preserve their former nationalities. This equality does not imply that every political scheme must be made to please foreigners. Politicians shall learn that there are Americans to consult, both native and naturalised. Hence we ay that the men are deceived who think Americanism is dead. It has only been wounded by falling into the hands of false friends. It ia rapidly recovering, and neither the absorbing question of slavery nor anything else can prevent the freemen of this land from soon asserting their opinions on this subject and the politicians who profees such horror of Know-Xothingicm, after failing to make it a stepping stone to power, are simply making fools of themselves. The people aro right and they will make the politicians right Americant will govern America I A Black-Ropubllcaa Poat Master. In a recent visit to a county in this State, we dare not say what county, we found a Republican Post Master. Only think of itl A Mack Republican Post Masterin this the second year of James the Bachelor! And that too in quite a town, in the midst of a rioh and reading people ! We dare not say where it is, or he would be removed instanter, if the President had to appoint a man not living in town, liks he appointed John Samuels, over his neighbors, the Mix ervillians ; or one not qualified, as he appointed John Armstrong, the drunken dog gery keeper, over the Metomorians; or he would close up the office as he did two in Ripley county, because there was no Democrat near enough to take them even into a doggery. Great is Willard, who wo' n't commission a Black Republican Notary Public, and so is James the Bachelor. GOOD ENOTTQH FOB 0 Some Black Republicans in Kansas called a little collection of cabins Greeley, or Greeley City, and applied for a Post Office. Do you think they got one? Never a bit, by that name. There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States, ' nor in the "Orfanio Act" that would sanction such a thin Tho petitioners were informed that squatters had no right to give names to their city, but if they would call the place Walker, they might havo an office. They acceded, so the address of those sovereigns is Walker P. O., Greeley City, Kansas. JaaT Quite a number of new students are already entered for the next session of the Brook viile College. Hoo. S. W. Parker has spoken for a place for his son, we saw a young man going from Johnson county, and a young lady from Rush. Mr. Chase's industry and talent will secure a full house The session begins next Monday.

The Kansas plot thickens Every mail brings intelligence Calculated to dissipate the hopee of those who thought fair play might be granted to the Free State party there. The army which was ooncent rated there, under pretext of being en route for Utah, is to be used for subduing ths people. We shall keep our readers ported in regard to movements in that territory. Not a Dem ocratic paper in the laud does. It seems to be understood that all ths outrages upon human rights and human liberty shall be concealed from Democratic readers. We never have believed that Kansas could come in as a Free State, but we never believed it could long remain a Slave State. It was not snough that ths first election should be car risd by fraud, and that a code of laws sho d be fastened upon the territory by drunken Missourians, which does not allow the "sovereigns" to elect even a constable, but the pretended election to a constitutional convention must bs bsld so as to out off most of the actual settlers, and now by the apportionment, 19 counties, containing about half the population, have but (Arg representatives, whils fourteen counties havs thirtytic; twelve times ths number on about aa equal population. But this is not all Gov. Walker promised, in his early a peaches there, that at the October election, the t? holt people should vote, not under the Missouri laws of ths Territorial Legislature, but under the laws of Congress. Judge Ca to now decides that none shall vote unless they acknowledge ths rights of the invaders, and pay taxes to support them. It is said that Gov. Walker dissents from this opinion. Perhaps hs does. We wait patiently to see the end of this crusade against freedom. Kansas may come in a Free State, but it will be notwithstanding the efforts of the pro-elavery party in the South, with the connivance, if not the aotual co-operation of the Democratic party in the North. That party neither by its candidates nor its organs, has ever uttered one word of condemnation against the blockading of Missouri river against Free State emigrants, nor the destruction of Lawranee by the United States army, last year, nor its sisge this year by Gov. Walker, nor the murder of Free State men, by Border Ruffians, nor the disfranchisement of freemen by test oaths and tax lawa We wait the development of the futtrt Though it is true that the party papers keep these facts from the people, and teach them to regard them as litt whsn they appear in other papers, though a very large per cent of the voters of that party never read, (many of them cannot at least ia English) yet there are enough honest thinking men among them, who will, sooner or later, learn that the facta of history in that territory are painful, to throw off the 'yoke of party and love their country more than their would-be masters. We can afford to wait Predictions are needless. Facto are transpiring fast enough. Let us see what ths administration will do wbioh pledges fair play in that territory.

J UP t A L2TLI OOasTP Rev. E G. Wood has been elected Agent for Moores Hill College, and it is understood that he will accept and evattd that hs will be put on the Lawrenoeburg District and do two men's work, Rer. 0. C. Smith's throat not allowing him to continue. Rev. James Crawford will more in a'few weeks to Greensburg, and it is guetttd that he will go on Milford circuit Rev. R F. Cnurey will accept ths Presidency of Hamlin University, Red Wing, Minn , and it is guteted that he will be succeeded by Rev. K. H. Sabin in Wesley Chapel, New Albenv. Rev. E. D. Long will probably be stationed in Rising Sun, and it is guetted that hs will be succeeded in Wesley Chapel, Madison, by Rev. J. W. McMullen, who, it is guetted, will bs succeeded by Rev. G. M. Boyd. Rev. J. A Beswiok will go from the Brookville College to the pastoral work, and it is gusseed that he will go to Everton cirouit Miss Mary Tarkington will take charge of the Primary department in the Brookville Collage, and it is quite certain that she will make a capital teacher. It is probable that Judge McDonald will not accept the Presidsnoy of the Asbury University. Prof. Nutt, in that case, will act as President until the next meeting of the Board. Rer. A. D. Cunningham will probably aocept the professorship offered him in M t. .Ida College, Darenport, Iowa The degree of A. M. was conferred upon Rev. J. B. Lathrop, at the late commence. ment at Rloomington, and it is guessed that hs will go to Lawrenceburg station. Moehaaleal Appaaraneo Our readers can not havs been more mor tified over ,the mechanical appearance of our paper of late, than we are ourself We pay the very highest prioe for our work, and expect to have the best kind of work dons. Our printer promises amendment We are reluctant to move to another office, because it would prove a serious embarrassment to a hard working but poor man. We cannot endure much longer, hence we assure our readers that our paper shall be printed in the best style, though we have no assurance that this paragraph will be readable when it appears in the paper. We must exoulpate ourself, also, in regard to typographical er rora We pay the customary pries for having proof .read, nd corrected, but often even that which we read and mark ourself goes uncorrected. Our editorials are frequently mangled, though we write better than our correspondent "H.," whose article last week must have made him sick, if not mad. We intend improvement in this respect also, for we have made arrangements with one of the best offices in the oity to do our printing if things do not mend where it is now done. assseaai CAUGHT NUTIHO Sheriff Glidewell, of Franklin county, accompanied by Deputies J. R Clark and Jacob Bly, conducted two gentlemen last week, members elect to the lower house, one for nine years and the other for two, to Jsffersonville. Being overcome with the excesses labors of traveling on the steamboat they concluded to rest their wearied limbs and eyes at a first class hotel before going to the penitentiary. Forgetting that eternal wakefulness is the price of liberty, ths sheriffs fell asleep. Not so Hon. Rufus H. King, the gentleman from Franklin for nine years. He remembered the saying, and kept both eyes open, and very deliberately slipped off his chains and retired, leaving his compan ions to enjoy their napa. Poor Glidewell, ha feels bad, both from loss of sleep, the lose of his bird and the loss of his fee. is. Fashion is a curse to many a good heart.

ZAPH-NATU PA A NK All A Bareualuurtate to the Graduating Vlati of the Indiana University, at the Commencement, MDCCCLVIL By Rev Wm M Dailg, D D., LL D , President of the University. Funeral diteourttt have had quite a run this summsr among literary men. Dr. Eddy favored ths Philos, at Greencastle, with one on Mosea, Dr. M Mullen, the Platos, with one on Daniel, now here is ons from Dr. Daily, on Joseph W ewould suggest to the literati to try Shedrach, Meshack and Abed-nego next They were men of mark, quite a diieourte might be mads about them. However just or unjust the oharges brought against Dr Daily in other years, and on other oooasions, of borrowing largely from Goods, Thompson and others, it can not be allsgsd in this oass. This address is Daily ish out and out Its name is Dailyish Zaph-Nath Pa-a-ne-ah! It might

justas well have been baptised Ra wah-wah, ths Indian name for James B. Finley, as Zaph-Nath-Pa-e-ne-eh, the Egyptian name of Joseph. It would have equally shown the Doctor versed in the dead languages, each being a heathen name applied to a good man. It is Dailyish too in ths fitting of the nams to ths discourse, and reminds one of the exoellent, though rather severe sermon on politioo-Catholociam, which the author used to preach, before the days of Know Nothingism, "Leviathan." There is just ths same resemblanoe between Zath-Nath Pa-e-ne-ah aad this discourse, that there is between a big fiah and Romanism. There is, we believe, but one point of Joseph's character brought out that is hisrunninj, at the risk of losing his garment That was admirable in the young man, and the doctor, finding this trait in him, used it to a good advantage. ' We hope the robe he lost was not a silk gown used only when officiating. We, always thought Joseph too modest a man, not to say a man of too muoh good sonse to thiak the out of his coat should say now I am Zaph-Nath Pa a-ne-eh, officially, now I am only Joeeph. It is Dailyish in saying soms rery good things in regard to formation of character. Take the following : Society greatly needs young men of an honorable ambition in life; who are determined to be useful according to their ability bv diligent study and the practice of virtue. Not such as spend their time in saloons and at the billiard table, and whose greatest ambition is to make a fine figure in the ball room and at the dance. If the Doctor had added "and with a cigar or chunk of tob .ceo in his mouth," the sentence would have been complete. We might quote many exoellont extracts like this, though none of them are alleged as baring been shown in ths life of Joeeph With all its excellencies we havs a serious objoction to the doctrine of the address, as well as to its style. We admire its teachings so tar as it seeks to inculcate the importance of a positive character, and a reasonable reliance upon individual judgmsnt But when it make Zaphnath Pa-a-ne-ah, mean Leader, an 1 tells the young men that they " may all become exemplars, giants, and Leaders," ws objeot both as to fact and to doctrine. The ant mut of ths address is that no position but a leadership is commendable, while common sense and good morals teach that all cannot be leaders, though all may be ussful. To aim high and sesk to be good and useful is commendable, but to aspire only after a leadsrship is contemptible. Again we object to the Young Americanism, whioh is contained ia this sentence " Long before a man is old, he may be so rioh in experience, as to rely with perfect confidence on his judgment" How long before? The tendency to deepise the counsels and wisdom of age, is too manifest to need fostering in suoh an address on such an occasion. Our limits will not allow much farther notico, though justice demands it We objeot to the hasty and loose styls of ths addreea Having a year in which to prepare it, and being for a literary occasion it should not only inoulcate sound doctrine, but should be a modsl in style. The Doetor can certainly oonstruot better sentences than these: " We do not mean by this that they have been free from disease or that they had a certain measure of mechanical (physical T) strength." When we compare the lion with other beasts of the field, which are much larger in bulk of animated nadirs, we find an illustration of our position." " Some possess more than others of the physical qualities, whioh belong to the lion." "We all feel to despite a being, Ae." "Now, like this ant, you have some one thing to do." It is not mere captiousness that prompts us to thus notioe this address. It is a duty which we owe our readers and ths literary man of the Weet We have not yet learned the art of pronouncing every performance a model, or every performer perfect The address .being sent us to notioe, we have done the best our space will allow. If not flattering it is truthful at least it is so according to our judgment A life-long, personal acquaintance and friendship assures us that it was our opinion, the Doctor wanted, and we know he is a man of too muoh sense to take personal offense at our remarks, though his opinion and ours may differ. It is only the weak that claim exemption from criticism craEVIR DITOBGX CASH This application for divorce, which created some interest at the spring term of ths Marion Cirouit Court, has been settled by compromise Mr. Cheerer files a crossbill of abandonment, and no other plea is mads by either party She takes the two younger children, and he the two older, and she gives him one-third the rent of her property for the benefit of the two older childrenIt is understood that a divoroe will be grantedwe presume to both of them, as each seems to want one IMPORTANT ELECTION.

MANVTAORBI OV MOL 4 MIS FROM THE oxavsai suae cae Early in the spring wo gnva directions, in tho A m urica n, for planting and cultivating the sugar cane. As tho eetvaon for manufacturing will soon be here, we will give tome hints on that subject. After setting apart enough in the beet part of your patch to supply a reasonable amount of seed, the seed of the balanco should be plucked out. This should be dono after the seed has formed, and before it begins to fill, t. e., before it begins to aeaume a milky appearance, or in other words, while the seeds are yet of a green color inside. The teed heads are easily plucked out by grasping the head and jerking upward, in a short time after this is done, new a 1 f 11 1 - A M .1

pinnacles win snoot oui irom me joints below, on which new teed heads will form. As soon as the seed in these new heads havo begun to form, the whole stalk should be stripped bare Of all its loaves and pinnacles, leaving nothing but the naked trunk. With but a small quantity, this can be done by the hand, as fodder is fathered, but if you have a large eld it is done with an instrument shaped much like a pruning hook, only it is larger, and is not sharp. A stroke downwards with this instrument, close to the stalk, strips off not only the pinnacles and blades, bat also the sheath around the stock at the base of oaoh blade. If the instrument is sharp it does not clean tho stalk so well, and, besides that, it would be likely to wound the stalk and cause it to sour. As soon m this is dono, and you have your mill and kettles ready, cut it, but not until you are ready to grind. The grinding will be tho greatest difficulty for experimentors. We do not think the certainty of success is sufficient to justify much expense for mills. Meanwhile every farmor must exercise his own ingenuity forgetting out the juice. A cider mill will do. It might be cheaper fbr some ten neighbors to unite and buy one of Scott A Hodgos $oO mills, as it is easy to spend $5 worth of time in tinkoring and yet not get the jnice well oxpressod. It can do turned by hand. Kemomber tho whole thing is yet an experimont, and, therefore, you should not rig expensive mills. For experimental purposes you may boil tno juico in ordinary sugar kottloss-do it immediately. It will ferment very soon. It must be clarified whilo boiling. If the juloe is at all acid, a very small quantity of tho croam of lime may be added ; and experienco must show at what tirao this nad better bo applied. Albumen in any form may be used as a clarifying agent. Skimmed milk, the white ot eggs, or blood, divided through tho amss, will answer the purpose. During the pronoes of clarification the juice should not be permitted to boil, but simply to simmer. This wilt causo a scum to rise to the surface, which after it is aggregated so as to; oover the top, and has settled to toughness, may be removed by ladle pierced with small holos. When it oeases to throw up a scum the concentration may then go on till the temperature riaee, by partwith water, to 225 dog. Fahrenheit. During this concentration, and aftor the removal of the scum, theebulition should bo rapid, for slow boiling toughens sugar, and prevents chrystalisation. As the making of sugar is not yet fully tested we leave off with thin method of making molasses. When boiled down to the proper consistence take it off, cool it and try it as a substitute fbr sugar house molassos. Wo wtll only add that the sugar is not "stirred off," but tho syrup is put away to1 drip" until it leaves the sugar. POLITICS AND THE PULPIT. There has not been more virulence against ths pulpit, sinoe the days of Knox, than within ths last few yean. By some means, the questions which have long been conceded as proper to be discussed there, have become involved in the political issues of the day, therefore politicians havs sought to silence preachers upon them. We regard it as sn evidence of the purity of the pulpit nd the fearlessness of those who fill it that suoh demands have met with no favor, but the influences of the (togpel have been brought to bear upon the moral Questions at stake. The duty of the preacher to teach those who look to him for instruction, that they should carry thsir religious character and convictions into everv duty of life, is imperiou. Hs should teaohjthsm that in no case can they be indifferent to the sufferings of their fellow men, nor neglect opportunities to do good. Hs may not allow them to. regard it as consistent with thsir religious char acter to permit by their license or their indifference the spread of intemperanee or slavery, hence he should urge upon Christians to regard these questions as of primary importance in the exeroise of their privilege as rotors This is a duty which no preacher can leave undone and be a faithful overseer of the flock committed to his care. But this duty does not require that every sermon should even remotely, much less di rectly refer to politics. Nor does it imply thariffht of the nreuoher to dictate for w- w which party or what man his brethren sho'd vote They have an unquestionable right to choose their own method of doing a given thing, ksnce it is unbecoming the pulpit, and unworthy the man that he should, tu a premehn , become the apologist ot a party or n individual, or that hs should anatheBwatiss, in the pulpit any man or any party. His duty to instruct doee not imply th j right to dictate. Rlg'.it here many well-meaning but unwsat preach srs hsve erred.

THE MONDAY KIOHT MEETING Whether it was the world-wide fame ofj the orator of the occasion, or the great and deep interest our citizens take in the advancement of our city's interest, that oalled out so many last Monday night is immaterial. The meeting was large, and Mr. Smith fully sustoinei his reputation as a speaker. Sensible men seeking a location for capital or their families, will count such a meeting, fo such a purpose, as adding immensely to whatever of local and pbys ical advantages there may be in the place. A people who will thus help themselves, and thus advertise the wa ta and advantages of their city, will help each other aud all new comers. We know not whatcourse the council may take in regard to meeting the expenses of advertising, by circulars, maps, paper, Ac, but we know that the expense should be borne by all in proportion to the advantages to be derived from the general improvement of the city, and there is no way so equitable as by an advalorem tax on the property of the city. There is no laborer so poor as not to be benefitted by every new shop, or mill, or store, or foundry that can como among us Even printers and publishers will be benefitted. Kvery man who has intelligence enough to carry on any business successfully, will subscribe for Tos American as soon as he gets here, and as soon as he gets anything to sell, or wants to buy anything, ha will advertise in it, hence he will, in some degree, be contributing to the proaperity of the paper, While lie will grestly enl ance his own profit and pleasure. THE OCTOBER ELECTION A very able articie appears in another column, from tho pen of Judge Hackletnan, in regard to the constitutionality of the law which fixes a uniform time for taking the offices Judge Petit, oue of the ablest lawyers in the state, has decided tho law unconstitutional out all that ia no inkling to tli e opinion of suh a Supremo Court as ws havs. The case beforo the Supreme Courtis in tho hands of Judge Davidson. He lives in Decatur county, where Republicans were elected last year, and whero hy plenty of hooking and crooking the Democrats think they may elect Democrats. In that county the Democrats are preparing to run a full ticket, and it is understood that Uiis is by the advice of Judge Davidson. Ws again say, go on with the election, including a Supreme Judge, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Stuart The resignation is positive, though it does not take effect till next Jan uary, and there is as much a vacancy as there would be if his term of oflloe expired then. An effort is made in certain quarters to tench that there will bo no election. There well be, aud we hope the people will elect, whether the Governor proclaim! a vacancy or not REMOVAL OF ASBURY UNIVERSITY The proposition to removo the University from Oroenoastle to Indianapolis is likely to do some good, even if it shall not rssuit in a removal The Ban neu there has noticed the fact that there is a college there, several times of late, and the people there have talked about the old thing. We have not changed our opinion nor our position The Uuiversity ought to be moved and will be moved, unless the local interest do something to keep it up, more than merely to board the students and growl about th; administration of the discipline of the college. Two-thirds of the troubles which have been experienced there, have growu out of the habitof gossiping about the government of the college, by the citizens of the place. Lot them learn to tend to their own btuuness and let the faculty attend to theirs, and show interest enough in the college to keep up the repairs and make the necessary improvements, or contribute liberally toward tbem, and the college will remain there. Otherwise we cannot promise that it will not be moved. We know a locality, quite as healthy, nearly as central, with quite as good buildings already up, which will put up all needed buildings if the location is removed. It will put in a bid when the question is properly opened Slea Thanks. Thanks to some unknown friend for a box of sundries, by express. That No. 2, 8 inch India Rubber Dressing Comb is just the thing we would need, if our hair had not mostly bid us farewell, and the same of the Rose Piuk hair oil, and the Cologne and Musk. The Honey soap was just in time a friend in need, while tho Bedouin Tooth Wash and tho excellent tooth brush thny are just what we wunted. We have been using the wash, and pronounce it excellent Should these few linos ever reach Ü10 eye of the donor he (or she)may consider himself thanked very much, and at liberty to sond us another assortment of notions at his oarliost convenience. Ohio Inburaxck and TarsT Company at svkxdeu. The cloeing of the doors of the Ohio Insurance and Trust Company, last Monday, created a great panic in Cincinnati, and will, we doubt not, frighten some Indiana capitalists, who have refused to loan to their neighbors on real estate securities, and made it tafe in that bunk. We don't care a copper. If men will be such fools as to prefer strangers to acquaintances let them abide the consequences. There is money enough in Cincinnati Banks, from Franklin county alone, to make a home bank of large capital, and which can be put in the hands of safe and tried men. As none but capitalists will suffer, the affair is of less consequence. s wee a. LOOK OUT FOB FROST The nights are becoming cool, and an occasional cool day follows. If frost comes within four weeks there will be but little sound corn. But you need not suffer for suitable clothing while E. A. Hall kecpe so good a lot of fall and winter goods at No II Washington street, and Tyner and Kimble, and W. Morrow A Co., are so well supplied in Brookville. Whenever you feel chilly read the Ameek an, and learn where to get suitable oiothing.

A DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PRIACH1I CURIOUS. SCXVX AT A DZDICATIOH - On Sunday lust, iutoi tlin to lrv vious announcement, n new Mellm dint Church was dcdiruU-d at Laue villi, Harrison toiintv. bv itVv Wm M. Daily, D. D. one of the four Democratic Methodist inliiiatcra oi Indiana, After the Hcrmuii, a hum. what unuaual scene oe'iirred. whioh, as wo heard it, was ae follows : Mr Daily announced thnt he had jtaased bv some four or five nlaees, where hia presence wan desired for the iiur pose of coming to I.uncMvillc, whore nis side of politic, prevailed. There won a dobt of 8JdO liHiiging over the church, ami he wanted to know it there were not enough Democrats in the house to promptly pay it. Ikwould not complete the work of dedication until the amount of the debt waa paid orpledgod to bo paid. How many are tuere, ho anked, whu will give $10 each. Four H?rsons an nounced Huccossively that they would give $10 each, w hen some one btopped up to Mr. Daily and in lor med him that all of the four were h'noic-Nuth ings. but there was Bro. D - who woe a good Democrat, und was able to give that amount. Mr. Daily then appealed to Bro. D., who refused to contribute, stating that he did not belive in bringing in politics ou su li occasions. Five dollar Hulx-riptioiia were then called for, when, among others, Berry (iin of this city (a food Democrat.) contributed a V.--Hially the sum of $125 wus raised, when the Trustees pledged the remainder, nnd the church waa dedicated. In the meantime many retired from the church being disgusted with the proceedings. The above is the story as wo had it from one who was present, and we have reason to believe thnt it is true If it is incorrect in any particular we will cheerfully tunke nny necessary correction. The editor of tho Corydon Dfnw ot, who w as present. Bays : ' Ifr. Daily tmtife a for inappropritttr nnd unneciMary remark uhih tnhma up the collt'iiion.

It is to bo hoped that this will le Ute last time. It remains to be soen whether those Democratic pupers that havo heretofore so bitterly denounced certain ministers without just cans will take the Kev.
