The Cincinnati sharpers, taking ad vantage of tho recent failure of the Qramer: cy and Shawnee. Banks, through the rascality of their owners, arc attempting to create a panic in fegard to the Free Bank money - of Indiana,, in order that they may reap a harvest thereby, r They have thrown out a number of Banks which are perfectly sound and safe,'and will doubtless throw out others. In order that p«r readers may be thoroughly posted, we give the following in reference to the' Free Banks of the State; ‘

The settlement of the Swiss difficulty is confii’med, The details ot the arrangement are.in course of adjustment. The Arabia left Liverpool on the afternoon of the 17th. - Spoke the Europe on the 18th, bound-far Liverpool. Tire Baltic arrived out on the morning of the 17th.

Weather to-day warm and pleasant although the ice is L still firm. A speedy breakup is evidently approaching. A% Cairo heavy Jco was running out of tW Ohio. The Highflyer arrived yeeterday badly damaged, but did not sink asrenortod.

American State Convention.

There will he a Contention of the American Party of Indiana, at Indianap* oils, on Tuttday, the 17 th of February, 1857, to consult together and determine the future course of its members in regard to State and National policy. . A general attendance is desired.

The bill to repeal tbo liquor law was debated with a good deal of bitterness. Cullen denounced the present Jaw as ridiculoa* and disgraceful, assorted that no leading democrat bad sustained it, bat that it was passed at a time when Know Nothings and spirttnal tappings were in their ascendancy. McDonald or Lake desired to ask Cullen a question. Did hot the old line party have a majority in the Senate when the present taw was passed, and did'not the present Governor vote for it? : Gordon repelled tho accusations made against tbo Republican party—that that party bad not existence in 1855, that the Senate had a'majority and* could hare defeated the law, as it bad the election of U. S. Senator, and the Apportionment bill; (bat Gov. Wright approved the measure, and in 1853 bad declared in his annual message that (bo Legislotoro had an unquestioned right to prohibit tbo sale and .manufacture of ardent spirits; and that tho present Governor bad voted, for it.. Ho regarded the bill to repeal the law as unnecessary, because it was - now dead, under tho decision, of the Supreme Court, wbiclrhad declared it unconstitutional.

The Nenfachalel dispute was virtually ended. Committees of both Houses of the Swiss Fedoratipo adopted a proposition to release the prisoners. A telegraph dispatch from Berne, 17th farther announces that the National Council adopted propositions of Commission by 91 against 4. '■ Council of State not yet voted.

Madison Courier, and several other ultra "Republican" papers, are at present engaged in abusing tho American Senators in tbo Indiana Legislature, because they refuse to obey, or to be governed by, (be mandates of tbo "Republican" lenders of tbo Senate, Tho Courier abuses Messrs. Sago and Crane in a half column article, and tbo editor winds up by saying that ho would prefer tho election of two Democrats to the U S. Senate, rather than to see an American elected to that position. Wo presama that the Courier does not represent the sentiments of the Republican party of Jefferson or Switzerland counties; for we feel certain that tho supporters of Fremont in this county would greatly prefer Hon. George* G. Dusk to any Democrat in the State, for that position.

Ho denied'that tho democratic party was responsible for its passage. .Individuals belonging to it had voted for it, bnt tho great democratic party bad stood against it, os a rock .in tbe ocean. Bnt its passage was a triumph of fanaticism—disgraceful to the name of the State, tyrannical and despotic, and pass* ed by disregard of the constitutional rights of the.people. | McDonald of Lake referred to the passago of.the law of 1855. It, too, .had been declared unconstitutional by tho Supreme Conrt, yetthc Legislature that enacted it held a large majority of both bronchos of the Legislature. He adverted to the denunciations against K. N.’ism, and said the old line party sought tho aid of those KLN.Vin.the recent election, andjoven now asks U to bring oh tbs election of U. 6. Senators. Merrifidd said the democrats in *55 had control of two branches ont of three of the Legislative power. They had the Executive and the Senile, yet these two ;both>ustain(]d tho law,, when they could have'dofeatrd'it. They must take their share of the responsibility. Walpole exbonorated the Senate, declaring that.-they voted for it because they regarded it as so extreme that its passage was tbe most judicious way of defeating thoso who had urged its adoption upon the country.

, To the 2d. The caption of this article is Prohibition. I never hear that spoken orsee it written, but it makes tho blood run a littlo faster in mjy veins, for in my mind 1 always couple it with a mighty uprising of tho people to expel one of earth’s direst curses, ardent iSpirits as a beverage; but in this article I certainly was disappointed; instead of the discussion of a subject of life and death as indicated by the heading of the article, he simply ask? for ’an act prohibiting poo.ple from talking, (or talking too much.) I presume ho would apt make rautss by bis law; that is not bis design, certaixly. Neither do I suppose that*he t believes that there is in man a law impelling him to speak oftener and on mote subjects than is in harmony with the divine being (who formed him for a social being.) but I object to the means proposed to attain the end. If the reference to the woman’s rights convention is designated os a bur* lesquo (which it would really seem), 1 would ask Mr. B. to scan the past history of the sex, the aggregate condition of them now, think of the vast improvements going forward in all the industrial and social relations, and ask—if a philosophic mind might not have anticipated a move in that direction; but, sir, your reference tu the Missionary Society is beyond ray ken.; 1 nix-for-stay. Now, sir. 1 leave tbjs article, wishing success to the Reveille, hoping that i\s articles may give honor to its correspondents aud its .editor, and' pleasure to its patrons.
