The opennii meeting tf the fall campaign io tudiana was held last week in the Opera House at Indianapolis, and was ddrossed by Lciut. Jov. Cuoibick and b'enator Morton. Hon. A. H. Conner, Chairman of the Ftate Ccutral Committee, introduced Go. llaker, who -presided, and made the formal introduction of the speakers to the audience, which was a larjje one, nearly filling the Opera House, and remaining for nearly three hour.-, despite tho extreme heat of the weatht r. Gov. Cuuiback spoke as follows on the question if STATE FINANCES. The State ef Indiana, when we took charge of it, had, of course under Democratic manageoiant, a debt of several millions. We have paid that debt. We have currency that is sound tud satisfactory cood oliko all over the country. l ou do not have to be shaveiby the brokers as we i did io old Democratic limes. In fact, the whole race of money shavers have all disappeared with the departure of the swindling Democratic bank system. You do not fail to remtmhtr what splendid financiers these Democrats have beeo in our State. You remember the free bank system, when they flooded the country with their bills, gathering gold dollars for their dollar bills of tho people, and when they called on them to redeem, they paid them back from twenty-five to sixty cents for each in many ol these banks. Kuin and bankruptcy was the result. OF DEMOCRACY AND THE WAR, He said : They are on the wrong side of the great queetiou now dioturbing the peace of Europe. If the New York World, the Cincinnati Knquirer and the Chicago Times are exponents of the position uf the Democratic party, lhau the sympathy of lhat party is wi'h Napolcou in his attempt to trample on the liberties of Kutope as he has done on the liberties of Trance. The Ilepubliian party, without an exception that I am awaro of, is in sympathy wiih tho l'ruiars, and ", in this regard, in i.vcord in s-eti! iti.cTJt with the lib-trty-lovtiiiT people in all pirts of the civilized world. lt. hatred io despoti?m and its earnest and biuveie devotion to the caute of universal freedom, arrays the IlepnblicHo party aiint the arrogant demands ol the I'lenth despot. It is natural that it should be so The party was called into existence to crush slavery and invest the uow n-trodJen and oppressed with the protection and dignity of citir.enship. Well has it lulfi.led its mission iu our land, and its moral power will strengthen the hopes of the oppressed and pnlsy the ai m of the oppressor in all pottious of the world. Senator Morton, as he came npon the stuge. wa received with prolonged applause, and although he was in very feeble health bespoke lor over an hour, delivering one of the mot-table and convincing arguments; be has ever made ou political questions. We give a full report of bis remarks on litK ECUOl'F.AX WAR.

And here, my friends, is a great gult be-1 twecn the two pattie. The idea of the Democratic party is that this is not a nation; that we are not one people ; that we are a confederacy of States; that the soverign and independent States are held together by an agrrement called the Constilution ot the United States, and that when this agreement hall be disolvedor repealed that then each State becomes separate end distinct people. That is the old Democratic idea. It was the idea that made the releilion, and it is the idea that will yet destroy the country, if it ahall be destroyed. On he contrary, we bwld that this in one people; that tbie ia one nation; that the State arc subdivisions for local Bi-d domestic purposes; that while these

States have well and established rights

guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the Vnited States itself, yet the States are subordinate to the natiou. and are parts of one entire whole. This is the very breath of the life of the Republican party. It is the great idea that will bold us tojjethtr.It is the idea that should be implanted in i the infant mind; it ia the idea that should go with an American wherever he may po throughout the world that he is not simply a citizen of the State of Indiana or New York, bat a c-itiieo of a mighty na tion.now bavins forty-one million of peo- ! pie. and soon to bave sixty millions, and as we believe, not a great way on, a Hundred millions. I allude to hia incidentally, my attention being called to it by the struggle for German unity. There is that point of simplicity between Germanic polities and American politics. They are struggling for unity not animated by any miserable dogma of secession, while American unity, is a great controlling and fundamental idea in the Hepubliean pary. The Indianapolis Journal says of the speech and the meeting: The intense heat overcame the Senator greatly, and be spoke under much evident physical prostration. His remarks were, however, thoughtfully received, and very warmly cheered. It was greatly to be re greted that the weather upon tb.8 evening chosen for the "opening of the campaign," should have been hot enough to make al most the elements melt, and anybody out a good honest Republican who had ''stood fire before, seek any retreat save a crowded public room. Weather considered, the meeting was a splendid and gratifying one in every feature, and a fiting initial to the chapter of victories to be reaped this summer and fall. Gen. Coburn was called up on at the conclusion of Senator Morton's address, but excused himself from making any extended remarks, promising his constituents that the canvass in this District should not go by default. Sales of Gold and Purchase of Bands During August. The Assistant Treasurer at New York has been instructed to sell a million dollars in gold each Wednesday during August, and to purchase a million of bonds each alternate Thursday, commencing August llth. The sales of gold during the month will amount to five millions aud bonds purchased six millions. The public debt was reduced during the month of July, S17.034.122. La Liberte opposes the suggested occupancy of Belgium by Great Britian, claiming that it would disquiet Belgium, wound France, and bring Russia and Austria in stantly into the war. The King of Wurteruberg ia quoted as as saying that Germany will be ruined by war for twenty years, and emigration to America will swell to enormous proportions. General O'Neil, convicted of a violation of the neutrality laws, was sentenced to two years imprisonment and a fineofSlO, at Windsor, Saturday. The sentences of Brown and Monahan were lighter. A correspondent of the London Times warns the public against precipitancy in forming opinion of the merits of the two powers in the present war, and points out how wildly England erred regarding the American war. A letter from I'ere Hyacinthe protesting against the declaration of the dogma of papal infallibility has appeared in Paris and causes a sensation. The Catholic organs attack the letter and its author with much bitterness.

This J has had a salutary effect upon our markets, checking the rise in gold, the fall in bonds j nd ,he Bjvtnce io cereals and dry goods, ' - . The market for our Government bonds has been through a severe crdeal in Lon don and Frankfort, and they bave stood the test well. While thetc is a panic in ' IalMidon, with large failures daily reported, J ' I'oited States bonds bave advanced -1 per cent, from the lowest point, aud we bave yet to hear of any bonds being sent home from abroad. The point of chief interest in regard to these securities is that their intrinsic, value is not reduced, and it is not likely to be by any complications which may arise in Europe. It is only their speculative value that varies. Judge Gooding spoke at Fayetteviile last Friday afternoon, and at Everton in tha evening. A good portion of his audi ence at each place was Republicans, and he delivered about the same speech a he is aily deiiverlns at different points.-? ("Ccnnerevillc Times.

European War News. The skirmishing on the Rhine, reported on Saturday, did not develop into a great battle on Sunday, as some anticipated No serious fighting has been announced, as we write. Expectation is on tip toe.

and the next hour may bring intensely exciting news. A dispatch from Paris tales that the Emperor's headquarters are at St. Avoid, near the frontier. This indicates a general engagement close at band. The secret treaty is still the all-exciting topic of conversation in the diplomatic circles of Europe. Con at Bismarck, in a circular addressed to the representatives of Prussia at courts of neutral powers, says that 'before the Danish war tbe French Legation at Berlin urged an alliance between France and Prussia for the purpose of mutual aggrandizement. France anticipated war with Austria as a consequence of the Danish war, and made overtures relative to the restoration of the Luxembourg frontier of 1S14, the acquisition of Saarbourg and Laudau, while a border settlement of the boundary question on the basis of language was not to be excluded. These instances, in May, lStib", took the form of a proposition for an alliance, offensive and defensive, tbe manuscript original of which is in the foreign office at Berlin. This programme,' the circular states, "was repeated in Juoe, iSJ(i. In spite of the threatening urgenoy of France, the proposals were incessantly renewed with modifications, sacrificing Belgium and South Germany, but were never seriously entertained by Prussia. For the sake of peace, however, it was thought best to leave Napoleon to his delusions. No word implying approval was returned. Time was couuted on to revolutionize France and extinguish the scheme. Hence the long delay and silence. The attempt against Luxembourg failing, France repeated her former propositions, making the specifications clear in regard to the acquisition of Belgium by France, and South Germany by Prussia. These last propositions were formulated by Count Benedetti himself, and it is improbable that he wrote them without the authority of the Emperor, as they are the same that were made four years ago under a threat ! of war as the alternative of their refusal. Any one acquainted with the antecedents must have known that had Prussia acqui esced in the seizure of Belgium, France would soon bave found another Belgium in Prussian territory." Count Bcnedetti's explanation of the secret treaty affair is published in the Journal OlBoiel as follows: It ia well known that Bismarck made France an offer both before and after the war with Austria. The substance of this affair was that France should take Belgium as a compensation for the aggrandizement of Prussia. The Emperor in all cases declined the propositions. The very moment the treaty of Prague was concluded, Bismarck again betrayed a desire to restore the equilibrium,-and made several proposals looking to a combination affecting the integrity of the States bordering on France. During oue of these conversations Bismarck dictated to Benedetti this secret treaty project, which has just been made public, and which Bismarck has kept ever since. This accounts for tbe handwriting of Benedetti. Beuedetti gave notice of the con tents of the proposed treaty to the Empe-rot's-Government at the time, but tbe proposition was promptly rejected. Benedetti adds that the King of Prussia was not favorable to Bismarck's plans. As these diverse statements leave tbe matter, Bismarck is rather ahead of his French opponent. The written document is a difficult thing to get over. Its possession gives Prussia a strong position, which is evidently worrying France into a great deal of annoyaooe. It is certain that England will take aotion to defeud Belgium. The London Times e;iys that Gladstone's speech at the Monser House meeting on Saturday even ing proves that he recognizjs the war and is ready to meet it. The hesitation about the opening of hostilities, and the delay in the Imperial declaration of war, are in London ascribed to the consciousness on the part of Napoleon that the war would be long and painful, owing to the superiority of the needle gun over the Chassepot, as already demonstrated in the encounters between tbe skirmishers. It is thought Napoleon erred in not lushing promptly iuto Bavaria. He would thereby have neutralized the action of all Southern Germany. Such a movement is impossible now, because it would expose Paris. A dispatch from London says the Prussian forces are concentrated between Treves (or Trier) and Merzig, a little town lying directly south of Treves, on the river Saar, and number 400,000 men. The French army numbers 300,000. The same dispatch says an important take place within three days. , . . , battle must The Paris Pressa saya there has been no fighting on the bauks of tbe Rhine, as widely rumored. The advance posts ot the Bavarian troops have fallen back upon Lauter river. Several Prussian scouting parties crossed the Saar. Their movements were plainly seen by the French. It is thought tbe Prussian force is not so great in that neighborhood as at first sup. posed. Negotiations between Italy and Franca for the withdrawal of the French troops from Italian soil ham been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Tbe Italian Gov ernment guaranteed the preservation of

order in Borne, and the French troops avacuated the city. LATEST. A dispatch from Paris, dated Tuesday eveoiog, states that there was serious affair on Tuesday, morning between the

French and Prussians at Saarbruck, the French moviog across the frontier and attacking the enemy with the greatest courage. As no mention is made of the losses on the French side, and as the French went back to their own territory two hours after leaving it, it can hardly be supposed that the French gained a brilliant victory. A London dispatch says the superiority of tbe Needle gnn to the Cbassepot ia hourly accumulating, and that the fact creates great alarm in France. The Tax and Tariff Bill. The following are tbe chief features of the Tax and Tariff bill as passed by Congress: On and after the 1st of May, 1371, the special taxes imposed by the seventy-ninth section of the internal revenue act, approved June 30, 1864, and as amended by subsequent acts, are to be repealed, but this act shall not be hold to repeal or in any way affect the speoial tax on brewers by that section, or the special taxes imposed by the act of 18G8 imposing taxes on distilled spirits and torxxher purposes, or the acts amendatory thereof.

Democrat. Mistakcu us usual, neighbor. It was no 'effense'that Gooding co-operated with the Uuiou party it was the best period of his life, and the only one he can point to wiih honor or pride. But in quoting his opin ions of the Democratic party we merely wish to remind the Democracy that they are ridden with whip and spur by a set of men who at one time abused them without Mint, and who now have ou sympathy with their party or its principles. We do not blame Gooding or his pimp, the editor of the Democrat, tor turning over to lhat party, buch men have no political principles of any kind, a"nd it is just as easy for theai to abuse one party as another. It is the pay they are after and so long as the Democratic party chooses to be driven by such trash we have no fault to find.

Also that Gooding filled bia appointment, while Wilson failed. There-

up n the Democrat wants to know why Wilson failed, and insinuates that he was afraid to speak at Brownsville at 2 o'clock because Gooding was to speak there five boars later. Fearing the Democrat may really believe Wilson was afraid to come within five hoars of Gooding, we take pleasure in informing it that he was detatoed here by a special session of Court.

front the Richmond Radical. Wilson and Gooding at Dublin. Last week tbe political campaign opened up for Wayne County at Dublin. Ou Monday evening Judge Wilson made his first speech of the season in Wickersham Hall. Though the merenry ranged up to near 90 degrees, the Ilall was crowded to its utmost capacity. The Judze made a very excellent review of the situation showing the present status of both political parties; and while be handled bis competitor for Congress in a very respectable manner, he left but little of Mr. Gooding's political record that an honest aspirant for office would desire to carry around witb bint during this hot weather. When Judge Wilson gets fairly into hnrnfs his speeches will compare very favorably wiih the popular speakers of the day. lining the rissht side of the controversy as between himself and his opponent, it is difficult fo seebcw envrepublima rm Am m Ko liAn.v in n-inlrtnrr n ii Ilia ft) T 1 1 .4 fl4 iva ii v cs it 8jx7 iwat L w j to bow be shall cast his vote forCongress- ! man in this district. Ou Wednesday evening J udge Goodioi i stick to the Dublinites iu tbe same Hall to ubout a half sized audience most of them Republicans. Indeed, I do not be lieve there were more than a dozen Democrats iu the Hall. Mr. Goodinc is a fair specimen of a man physically. Mentally he is more than an average among puplic speakers. What a pity it i that his judgment is so weak as to go back to the Democracy after making so fair a record against them during the war. He spoke for an hour and a half, most of the time trying to show up the shortcomings of Bepnb'.ieans. Some of his points were well tnken and true. Yet how are wc to better our condition by votiug for men of the Democratic party, a party which has been weihd io a balance and foui'd wanting in every element which goes to make up a government of a great and free people. The only news of importance that the Juc'ae brought to Dublin was that Andrew Johnson in a great statesman and a good man. This he said he knew, for he had been associated with him for years more intimately lhau any other man. This last statement is true perhaps, but ho".v the admission helps Johnson's integ rity or statesmanship is difficult to com- ! prebend Mr. Gooding evidently came to Dublin I under many misgivings as to his personal safety in so doing, for he was very profuse I in his thankfulness to the audieuce for ' the civil maimer in which be was treated. j He referred to it so often that we cou'd but infer lhat he believed tho Kepuh licans of Dublin make their principal di eton the flesh of Democrats, and use their i blood as dessert u.ade into blood pudding. j In referring to bis cooperation with the Republicans during th war, the Ju-lc i drew a di-tinction between the ilepuhli lean party anil tbe Union party which j was and stiil is a mystery to the writer, jaud yet it seemed to satisfy him in being j fouud to-day iu league with the Democra cy. S. S. B. Gooding at Fairview. About one hundred persons, one third of whom were Hepublica ns, assembled at the school house at Fairview.on Thursday afternoon last, to hear Judge D. S.

Mull Ks.j As usual, his Banquo, in the shape of Old John Brown, appeared, and Dave's troubled spirit could only be paoided by marching out the old martvr'fl soul. We did not hear all his speech, but in tbe part we beard, we are glad to inform our Democratic friends that he said nothing about hanging them, nor did he refer to tin mobbiug of Democratic printing offices. By way of variety, he spoke briefly of A. J ., his fallen chief. It is so pleasant to Gooding to think of the time when be officiated as wet nurse at the White House iu the days of that much abused individual Andrew Johnson. Connersville Times. Congress and the Soldiers. The record of Congress in regard to the interests of soldiers, as printed in a letter from our Washington correspondent, is creditable to that body, and it will prove to the men who sought the battles of the country, and to the widows and orphans of the dead patriots, that the Hepubliean party means to fulfill all its promises to those who defended the tlag and saved the life of the nation. This letter also contains information which will be valuable to soldiers aud pensioners. In addition to pensions and other considerations, any officer, soldier or marine can now abtain a home Btead of KJO acres on any line of railway aided by Congress, the selection to be made from even sections. The mininum price of this land is S2 50 per acre, and it is not yet open, except to soldiers. This latter is a point soldiers should take note of. A farm oo a line of railway is worth looking after. It can not be said of Congress that it forgot the soldiers. Gazette. Tho Chicago Times joins the Democratic howl against Prussia, thus; "What is Prussia? Originally a small principality, it has extended tu its present dimensions by the use of the sword. It has acquired its present area as it acquired the Duchies four years agoby taking them. It is the most grasping and rapacious power in Europe France has protest ted against its conquests, is! robberies, and to day the eworda of the French people are draw a to prevent more rapaoity, more

roobcrle?, and to compel the observance of solemn treaties. Sueh are the facts) let us look at them understanding." The Kentucky election, on Monday, resulted. as we suppose every one expected it would resnlt, iu the defeat of the RpaoHcans. There is one cheering indication, however, of which we take notice, snd which we fain hope is" a Sign that better days are coming to the benighted towns and hamlets across the river. There see id i to have been, so far as we have learned, t general desisting from hating the colored man. Tbe newly enfranchised voted peaceably, a ltd we dare 6ay, proudly, throwing their ballots with a charming unanimity for tbe Republican ticket. If the Democrats over there will only continue to let their colored follow citizens alone they wiil make Kentucky yet a decent State, in spite of all tbe Democrats rca do Gazette. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
