The Xew Tariff Abroad. The new tariff of the United States is attacked at every point both in intent and enactment by the London Times and some of the Paris im w. -tnapers. The Dublin Freeman 's Journal, of the 10th instant the latest paper una up tbe expression of feeling toward tbe measure thus: "The New United States tariff is universally condemned throughout England and France. Journalists whose speciality has been m Itters of tbe economic and commercial das pronounce it tc be -imply a perfect prohibition on the importation into, at least, the North American States of all European goods; but, as against England, it applies with especial severity and harshness. The uidotibtel effect of this new arrangement will be tl. it. almost immediately on its coming i'ito operation on the first of next month, the prices of nearly all English and French manufactured goods will be doubled in some instances trebled." Death of Ex-President Van Buren. M artin Vax Hi ken. the eighth Resident of tie United States, died at his residence in K'tiilerhook, New York, near I. is birth place, Thursday morning, the 24th iust., in the 79th year of lis age. Mr. Vax Bcbkn was of humble parentrge, but with a laudable ambition he determined to win position and fame. He was truly one of the great men of the natiou. Early in life he was the associate and rival of tbe eminent men of his own State, und later he was the compeer iJid ranked in statesmanship and ability with Jackson, Caluoin, H'tBsTin, Cass, Clat, dknton, truly giants in intellect and accomplishments. He discharged the duties of every position to which be was called by the partiality jf his countrymen with distinguished ability and marked success. Mr. Vax Birex has filled the highest offices, both State an I National. He was Governor of New York and represented his Siate in the Federal Senate. Under Jackox's administration he was Secretary of State, Minister to England and Vice President and be came the successor of the "Old Hero" in the Presidential chair. In 1644 he permitted bis name to be used as the Free Soii can iidate for Presidency, not, we pre-ume. with a hope of sue cess, but for the pnrpose of aiding in the defeat of Gen. Caaa, who was the Democratic candidate for President that year. Mr Vax Bcukx. who preside! over an united, prosperous and happy nation, dies when it is convulsed with a civil oar of gigantic proportions, threatening e- en its dismemberment. His declining days were saddened with a spectacle from which every lover of bis country, especially one whose public career is identified with its history when its career was glorious, would pray to be spared. His last councils, his last appeals were for the preservation of the Union and the Constitution unimpaired, as the only hope of maintaining and perpetuating tbe best Government ever vouchsafed to man. His light goes out when that Government is struggling for its exist- ' enee, and amid the absorbing excitement which that struggle excites, personal events, even the death of an ex President, will cause but little emotion. The Present Hoar. Tbe present condition of public affairs, and the duty of those in power, is most truthfully delineated in the following sentiments which we reproduce from the Detroit Free Press: When the war commenced, men of all parties exhibited the greatest avidity to support the Government. Tbe question, "What party elected Abraham Lincols?" was forgotten. Men and money were showered upon him; doubtful powers were exer and unquestioned. Every one struggle to be most zealous in deeds of patriotism. The popular heart was moved in its holiest depths There was no limit to the compliance with the demands of tbe Administration. This state of things was first interrupted by the special session of Congress. Members of that body began a work of agitation which would then have destrovel the popular unanimity if Bull Run had not followed to plunge the nation into mourning ami to frighten them into quiet. The present session of Congrau, however, has been fruitful of mischief to the harmony of the country. No one, contemplating the action ol the houses, would dream that a mighty nation, composed of different parties, is struggling for existence. Partisan measures, partisan pas-ions, partisan advantage, hare characterize! every proceeding. Less re pect has been paid to the feelings of the minority than is customary even in peace. I ndeel, the 1 .365.1)76 citixens who voted for Stephen A. Docolas, notwithstanding the patriotism of their great leider, and the alacrity with which they rushed to arms to meet the re bullion, have received no recognition whatever by any branch of the Administration. Neither in the Cabinet, in Congress, nor in the leading commands in the army, have they acknowledge! or tretled as worthy of We can not believe that this is il A political policy has dictated it a policy alike selfish and unwise. But the more matter of place is of no importance. Exclusion from every position save the rank and lie on the battle held can be cheerfully endure! by a pirty whose every aspiration is for tbe integrity of the Constitution and the pram ration of tbe Union Wh it grieve that party u that tbe men in power will not establish the simple platform of men and money to conduct the war. instead of dabbling in con i, emancipation, and all the other pecuof the Abolitionists. They are justly incensed, because tSe best interests of the countrv are sacrificed to loaders with their parties;

-' fi mi in" ii i i -aawstn because every effort is resorted to drive oil the tbe border States, and becuose, ern with the aid of the border States, there- has not yet been vigor enough in the Adminisuatiou to seriously .'ripple the rebellion. They behold an entire year of warfare under this particular poticy barren in results, lives sacrificed by thousands, hundreds of millions of dollars gone forever, heavy taxes staring the people in the face, an ir redeemable paper currency upon all sides, and yet the war no neirer an end than it was in the begin ning. They see that railway tickets, postage stamps, shinplasters, are resorted to for small change the very state of affairs which we sneer at in the Confederate States. They know, as every intelligent man of every party knows, that a greit financial revulsion is at hand, that foreign intervention is imminent, that the rebellion re quires short work or it will be successful. Ye', with all this, thev see the party in power compla cently intriguing for partisan supremacy Bax Wade blaspheming the Constitution, Zack Chan dli-R assaulting with petty abuse Generals who differ from him in politics, Tuad Stevens boldly defending treasury leeches and public thieve, and Secretary Stanton scanning the public press to discover who deems him incompetent, who de mauds a better man in the War Department. Such fatuity and imbecility, such desperate criminality, was never witnessed before. Neko is a thousand times repeated. A whole party play their fiddles over a falling country. If, under this policy, any good result had been achieve!, these men might be excused; but no such result can be shown. On the contrary, every event which has been beneficial to the country has been derived from conservative episodes, so to speak, in tbe administration of affairs. The Abolition advance upon Bull Run in July nearly drove everv border State out of the Union. The President's rejection of Fremont's emancipation order secured Missouri, Kentucky, Western Virginia and Maryland to the Union. The present Congress, however, have undone this work. All these States are now iu jeopardy. Worse for the first time during the war, the free States are apprehensive of invasion. Guerrilla bands swarm up to the very borders. Congress at every step have planted seeds of rebellion, because Congress have deemed their party more eutilled to their allegiance than the Union. It is time now for the dominant party to decide whether they intend to suppress rebellion or to prosecute a political campaign; time for the country to know whether their rulers will stop short in their partisan career, abandon their schemes of partisan aggrndizement. and push oti the war with vigor, by making the supply of men and money the sole scope and etid of their action. AH the power of the Government can not make Democrats Republicans. The lattei m iv triumph in the fall elections, as they did two years ago What would it show now? We distinctly affirm that it is now as it has been from the beginning in the power of the dominant party alone to m ike this a non partisan war; that Abraham Lincoln alone can unite the people, and preserve their union in that har mony of action which is necessary, indispensable, in fact, to success in the struggle; but he must not ignore, as he has ignored in all the high places of the Government, the 1.365,976 men who voted for Stephen A. Douglas.

Secret Political Societies. We have been advise! for several weeks that the Republicans were forming secret political letgues in various parts of the State. We know of no good motive or apology that a party in power, controlling both the State and National Administrations, can have for organizing such associations. This morning we publish a communication from two gentlemen of the highest respectabilitv, residing in Newton county, furnishing conclusive evidence that sitch leagues are being established, and that they are rapidly exteuding over the State. The Journal for some time has had a good deal to say about j secret political societies, but it was for the same i object tnat a hard-pressed rogue cries "Stop ! thief" to divert attention from its own paity rasralities. We have been informe! that the Republicans have organize! the-e leagues in this city, and a correspondent writes us from R indolpb county that several are in operation in that county coraposel exclusively of the members of the no party "Union party" party. We repeat, that we can not see any good object a party having the whole control of the Government can have, in organizing itself into secret political as sociations. It is a tion. The Tla Meeting of the 30th. All portions of the State will be represented in the Mass Meeting of the 30th. We hope that every man who can. will come up on that day and hear what the venerable Crittenden and W tc Kliffe, and the gallant Richardson, (the life long trustel friend of Dololas,) and Caklile and Mallory, and our own speakers, can say in behalf of the Union and the Constitution, and the best means of preserving the Government Irom the machinations of both the Secessionists and Abolitionists, who in common are striving to over brow or subvert it. Never befoie was the nation hi such a fearful crisis, aud it is the duty ot every good citizen to give bis time, his money, his best efforts, and il needs be his life to save it from the dangers which threaten it. On the day of the meeting all the railroads running :nto this city have agreed to run half tare trains, upon the conditions which each compny have published. The Evansville, the Wabash Valley and tec New Albany aud Michigan City roads have also agreed to similar arrangements. Come up by railroad, come in wagons, come on horseback, come on foot and hear the words of patriotism aud dcty. We expect the attendance of a large number of the 18th of June Convention party, in hear the man who wrote and the men wlio voted lor the resolution which is the corner stoue of it- nlatform. "Thirteen Facta Think of Them-" Under this caption the Journal of Saturday gives the names of th rteeu men, citizens of War rick county, whom it charges with aiding and abetting the rebels in their recent raid upon New burgh, a portion of whom were arrested by order oi Governor Morton, and are now in our county jail. If the men are guilty of the crime alleged against them, they should receive the punishment tbey merit therefor. But the Journal seems more anxious to lasten the guilt of tlie-e men, if guilty, upon the Democratic party , than to convict them as offenders against tbe Government There is an old maxim in law which reads, "faltus in uno, falsut in omnibus" false in one matter, deceitful in every thing By this test we will exam;ne tbe charges of the Journal. It states thus: When tbe rebels attacked Newburg they were welcomed by a number of the citizens, who di rected and ass.sted them in their robberies. Ameng them was James E Mvrick He is the candidate on the St h of January ticket in Warrick enmity for Reprtsentatice iu the Legislature. He has absconded since the Union men have retaken the town and can not be found. We are informed by one of the best citizens of Warrick county that Mr. M trick was not at Newburg when the rebels made the attack or w hile they were there. Hence the charge that be "welcome!" them and "directed and assisted them in their robberies," is utterly unfounded. Mr. Mykick was guilty of but one offense. The body of one of tbe men who were shot was laying upon tbe street where it fell, and, dictated solely by motives of humanity, be advised that

the remains should be removed into a house, or buried. I his is the sole crime of Mr. Mykick. This is all the participation he bad in the rebel raid upon Newburg. If lie was a Republican, the Journal would have lauded Mr. M TRICK to the skies for this simpb act of humanity, but Mr. Mtrick being a Democrat, it becomes a heinous offense. If the Journal will thus slander Mr Mykick, its statements in regard to the other parties it names are probably equally false. If the charges of the Journal against the men who ate known to be Democrats should prove false upon investigation, it will defeat the partisan purposes it had in view in m iking them. As we said in the beginning, if any of the parties named are guilty of aiding and abetting the reliels as alleged, there is no apology for their crime, and we will go as f.ir as the Journal in demanding adequat punishment. But it looks as though the charges against some of the par ties named by the Journal are dictated by partisan malice, and before' it is through with them that print will find that false accusations like chickens will come home to roost. If slanders, they may prove somewhat costly.

Peralatent .TUsrepresentatlon. The Republican paers are persistently and wilfully misrepresenting the position of leading Democrats. The Terre Haute Express for several weeks past has repeated the following in reference to Mr. Vooruees, which we copy from that paper: "Hon D W. Voorhees, alias the 'young chief,' said in his first speech iu Congress that, whether j the revolution should succeed or fail, the condition of every human being in the South should l remain unchanged. He meant, by this, that, : when the question came up as to which should i perish, the Union or slavey, he was for letting the Union go, and holding fast to slavery." The Goshen Times, another radical Republican i sheet, repeats the charge of the Express, and ut ters its condemnation of Mr. Voorhees in the ; following words, whi.h we copy just as it appears ! in that print: 'There can be, says the lamented Douglas, i but two clashes during this war. PATRIOTS ; and TRAITORS those who sustain and those I who oppose it; to which class do the men be I long who say "that the condition mf every human j being in the South shall remain unchanged though I the Union fall, thouyh the Nation perish!" The Republicans of all grades wilt not deny ! that the Uod. William H. Skwakd is now. M he I has been since its organization, the leader of the Republican party. He is how the premier of the ! Republican Administration. Of course no Re- ! publican will doubt his orthodoxy. The Terro ' Haute Etpress says that the man who utters the j sentiment "that whether the revolution should j succel or fail, the condition of every human I being in the South should remain unchanged." is I "for letting the Union go and holding fast to I slavery," and the Times plainly indicates that he j who avows such a sentiment ia a "traitor." Now for the facts in the case. The idea and ! language quoted did not come from Mr. Voorhees, but from Mr. Secretary Seward If the : extract relerrel to means that the author would j rather see the Union perish than slavery, then the j gre.it leader of the ReDublican party occupies , that position. That we may set this matter ( right, and show up either the ignorance, or the wilful misrepresentations of the Republican press in regard to Mr. Voorhees, we copy the following extract from the 6rst speech of the latter in which the objectionable sentiment occurs: On the 2-2.1 day of April. Ic6l, Mr. Seward, writing to Mr. Dayton, our minister at the court of the Emperor Napoleon, and treating of the subject of the pte-ent rebellion, said: "I neel not further elaborate the proposition that the revolution is without cause; it has not even a pretext. "It is just as clear that it is without an object. Monti and physical causes have determined inflexibly the character of each of the territories over which tnc dispute has arisen, and both par ties after the election harmoniously agreed on all the Federal laws required for their organiz ition. The Territories will remain in all respects the same, whether the revolution succeed or shall tail. The coudition of slavery in the several States will remain just the same whetlier it succeel or tail. There is not even a pretext for the complaint that the disaffected States are to be conquered by the Unite! States it the revolution fail; for the rights of the States and the condition of every human being in them will remain subject to exactly the same lavs and forms of administration vhether the revolution shall succeed or fail. In the one case the Suites would be federally connected with the new Confederacy; iu the other, they would, as now, be members of the United States; but their constitutions and laws, customs, habits, and institutions iu either case will remain the same. "It is hardly nece.-snry to add to this incontesti ble statement the further fact that the new President, as well as the citizens through whose suffrages he has come into the administration, has always repudiated all designs whatever and w henever impute! to him ami them of disturbing the system of slavery as it is existing under the Constitution and laws. The case, however, would not be fully preseniel if I were to omit to siv thit inv such effort on his part would be uu constitutional; and all his actions in that direction would be prevented by the judicial autoori ty.even though they were assented toby Cougress and the peipie." We turn Mr. Sew aro over to the tender mercies of the traducers of Mr. Yoorheks. Will they have the manliness, the decency to retract their slanders upon tbe latter? A Wet Blanket. We print this morninü a "War Bulletin" from headquarters, wheieby the Union commanders in the unequivocally rebel States (aot including Tennessee, nor, ot course. Kentucky, Mi souri, Ac) are directe! to mke tree with property needed by their armies, and to employ "persbaf of African descent," -when require! as laborer. Ac These laborers are to be paid, but not a word is said about their being I reed. On the contrary, the natural inference from the terms of this order would be that they are to be finally re turned to their former masters, no matter though, these be the most malignant traitors. If this is all that is to be done by the Government iu obedience to the confiscation -emancipation act, then the Union cause will have been fatally wnuudel in the house of it.- friends. No equivocating, higgling, hair-splitting, hang back policy will now save it. Unless the slaves are given to understand and thatspeeJily that ttie Union wants their service enough to give them liberty therefor, then the rebellion can never be put down. This country is very strong, but not strong onough to subdue eight millions of white rebels iu perfect subjection to a relentless military despotism, while we unite with it in keeping four millions of black slaves constantly at work in the fields, the arsenals, the trenches of these rebels. We speak plainly, for in this crisis it were treason to be silent or ambiguous. Unless the slaves are afforded ample and palpable inducements for quilling the service of the rebels, and embarking in thai of the Union, the great mass of them will continue to serve their masters, while the latter destroy the nation. Aud this order does nut sup ply the ! ive generally of rebels with an adequate retson for braving oeril. privation and death, by a speedy Sight from the bouse of bondago to the sheltering folds of the flag of the free. Of course, we do uot know that the President will stop here. We trust he will not. Yet the appe.irunce of this oftJer would seen to indicate that nothing further is contemplate!. If that he the fact, we sadlv leel that the nation is undone. N. Y. Tribune. Wednesday. The "Pressure" of which the Presi. dent Complaint, In the President's Address to the border State Representatives he said: I am pressed with a difficulty not vet mentioned one which threatens division among those who. united, are none too strong. An instance of it is known to you. General Hunter is an honest man. He was, and I hope -nil is, my friend. I valued him none the less for his agreeing with me in the general wish that all men very where could be freed. He proclaimed all men free within certain States, and 1 repudiated the proclamation. He expected more good aid less harm from tbe measure than I could believe would follow. Vet, in repudiating it, i gavedis satisfaction, if not offense, to many whose suppott the country em uot afford to los. And this is not the end of it. The pressure in 'this di rection is still upon me, and is increasing. By conceding what 1 now ask you can relieve me,

nnd, much more, can relieve the country in this important point. This is a confirmation of all that the people have suspected concerning the Abolitionists. It means that "the pressure" in favor ot an abolition war is strong, virulent, rsistent, factious. It is an advertisemeut to the country that he almost yields to th:;t pressure, and, if accepted literally in the border States, which, he justly says, 'hold more power tor good than any equal number ot members," it will undo all the work of Halleck's army, and remove the Confederate borders to the Ohio. This he does in response ts abolition "pressure;" to pleise those who are iu favor of sacri ficiug 26.000,000 of white men for 4,000,000 negroes. Gen. Lane Aaaignerf to an Important imry. A special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gaxitle, dated Washington, July 24, siys: In consequence of incorrect statements in some of your Eastern contemporaries concerning the appointment which Gen. Jim L ine has recently received from the War Department, it becomes proper for ait to make public the .'acts in the case, which I had telegraphed you two weeks ago, but subsequently suppressed at Gen. Lane's personal reijut-t. Gen. Lane had not intended to mike the matter public at present, but the War Department has given it puolicity, apparently with a view of counteracting the disappointment already manifested at the Executive order about using the slaves of rebels as laborers, without providing for their freedom. The facts in the case are these: Some weeks ago the War Department gave Gen. Lane an appointment as Commissioner of Recruiting for the Department ot Kansas, with full power to raise and euip volunteers, establish camps of instruction . draw on Quartermasters nud Commissaries for transportation aud supplies, and iu short, full power to raise an nrmv in Kansas, and put it iu fighting trim in the shortest possible time. Il is exeeted that Gen Line will promptly establish camps near the Missouri line, and commence recruiting, advertising publiclv tiiat no loyal man will be rejectei on account of color aud fully carrying out the provisions or the new militia law concerning the enlistment of tie gtoes. It is suspected also that Gen. Lane will not inquire very scrupulously whether his bl ick recruits came from over tlie bonier or not, or if they do, whether they are supplied with Iree papers. It is the belief here that the establishment of his camp in Kansas will be the signal for a perfect slave exodus from Missouri, nnd that his negro regiments will e among the first to be fuilv eqnipjied in ihe field Lane has orders from the Secretary of War to every officer of the De pirttuent of Kansas, requiring them to give Mnt the he.t i liest co operation in these movements This will obviate all such difficulties as he expe riencel before. It is expected that Line will have at least one white and two black regiments in the field within a fortnight alter hecomui"nces He leave hereon Siturdiy for the West, and w ill begin wo. k at once. This commission is so arranged by the President and Secret in1 Stanton as not to interfere w ith Lane's seat in the Senate. It is understood th it he will receive no formal General's commission, and take no military command from the Government; but nfter he raises tins army, the strong probability is that he will take a commission iu the State militia from the Governor ot Kansas or some other State, and so enter active service without receiving a regular appointment from the President, whicn would forfeit hi- seat in the Senate. The whole m itter b regarded here evidence that the Admiuistr.i lion is not so much afraid of arming negroes as had been suppo.-ed, from its late exemption order. For the Daily State Sentinel. A Itcpubtican Secret Organisation. KtxT Station, Newton County. Ixn., July 25, lt62. Ed Sentinel Sir: Inclosed is a copy of a letter from a secret organization in Lafayette to John Ade, a member of the order at this place The circumstances under which it came into our HJSse-sio.i are as follows: Mr. Ade .had gone to Louisville, Ky.. to bring home a sick soldier, and in his absence Mrs. A'ic re eived the letter, and uot understanding it she called iu a friend to explain to her what it meant, and after reading the letter he nude the inclosed copy Irom memory He then told it Republican about it, and a.-king what it meant, it made some stir among the order. Mr. Bissel, a lawyer, and Mr. Berry, a tinner, of this place, called on Mrs. Ade and told her under no consideration to let an other person see the letter., as they understood its import. As there is much excitement, and the Republi cans not . able to give a satisfactory reason for the organization, one of them, who is a member of the society, st itel to oue of tbe under signed that the society here was recently organized and has had one iulorm.il and oue regular meeting; that it was a secret political organiz ition; that there were similar organiz itiuns all through the State, but he did uot know if they were oiimizel in every county. When askel whv not let all loyal men join it, Democrats as well as Republicans, he could give no satisfactory reason. 1 he above are the facts in the case They can be substantiated when necessary, aud you are at liberty to publish this expose over our signatures.

Mll j III MM CS.SVC Ind. 9. U I L II I I From the Cincinnati Catholic Telegraph, July 23. The IV eg in Cincinnati and the Gazette. An Abolition sheet of this city, the Gazette, taking advantage of a local and temporary squabble in the labor mat ket, has been exciting, tor several days together, the worst passions ot the community by houuding one class of citizens against another It has carried this thing to the extreme of threatening a revival of lf55, when adopted citizens were at the mercy of mob law, shot down like beasts of prey, anil in more than one instance burnel alive! The Gazette has tha satisfaction of knowing that its advice has been already taken, for on Tuesday night of last eek peaceable and inofTensive citizen, named Wil li nn Burke, was shot down at his own door and Oied witbin twentv-four hours! He was a hardworkiug, law-abiding and inoffensive man, who had only a few minutes before returnel home from work, and finding a crowd of excited people in the street, threatening a den of infamy near Iiis brother's store, was in the act ot helping him to remove his little property from the house. The Gazette miv chuckle over the extent of its in tluetice. when it has only to open its month, speak insultingly of "the Irish." remind its followers of IBM, and an adoptei citizen licke thedust, weltering in his blood! We learn from a number of persons that the perpetrator of this high haiidel crime is a city official of the Gazette school. We forbear giving the name till the result of the Cor oner's inquest is publishel. We are not iu the habit of attributing motives, and far be it fronr us to asert or insinuate that our Abolition neighbor over the waf has desirel or mediate! any such result of its preaching; but we do assert emphatically that, consciously or unconsciously, it has m'mrepresentel the history of this trouble, that it has shown a shameful uu concern for the vented interests of tens of thou sands, representing the poor, hard workel while laborer ol the Slate and the country, that it has in tone and epithet mixel up a large division of our civic population with a few rowdies. Hinging its misty spittle on respeetabl ; men indiscnmi natety, that its conduct in this matter has had the banetul tendency of arraying class against cla, on petty local grounds, to the criminal negle-t of vital national interests; and that its editorial conduct preceding the murder of Burke makes an unenviable association, which tenacious and sen sitive memories can not easily shake off. The main facts in this unpleasant business are soon told and as soon understood. Black labor, it appears, is fast undermining white labor along the Ohio. It is a question of bread and butter or starvation to thousands; snd nothing n more easily understood than jealousy in such a vital matter. Show us a State, or district, or city, or hamlet in Europe or America where such jeilousy has uot disturbed the peace, am! is not the fecund topic of whole chapters in the history of industry. It is white labor that has built up this nation white labor with the sword as well as with the spade, or the plow, or the pick ax white labor on land, and sea and river white la

boron rtilroad and' canal, in the field and the factory, in the country and tbe city, iu the ship and on the levee. We spesk with special reference to these Northern States, where the humblest walk of hard-fisted industry has its vested interests, as well as the highest, and with which none but a firebrand, a tlisregarder of justice and an enemy of social order would venture to trifle. The story is told. There have been riots on our levees tor several days, owing to the sup planting of white by colored labor. Large vessels, before employing many white hand;) in loading, unloading, porterage, and the other l iboricus duties of river freightage, now come and go without one, to the utter impoverishment of many a poor family. To say that tl ese Door families are exclusivelv of Irish birth is simply to utter a palpable untruth. Numbers of honest, thrifty, hard working Germans and Americans are equally interested in this colored encroachment on their common domain. It is also untrue that the trouble in the Thirteenth Ward, where poor Burke was shot like a dog, is to lie ideutitiel with that on the levee just spoken of. The levee trouble, preceding the other, may have hel;ed to precipitate the latter, aud for this reason we speak of it first, as au explanatory circumstance: but here their connectio'i stops. One is a question of something to eat and drink, and something wherein to lay one's head. The very foxes have their holes, and the birds of the air their nests. The other is a question of morals: the one is a trouble of yesterday, the other is an old sore. To get rid of a haunt of infamy at the corner of Culvert and 3ixth streets, where some of the most de graded of the African race in this city, and. indeel.someof the most abandoned of the Ota cas8iau type, hold nocturnal saturnalia, has been a desire of every derent man, woman, and youth in that neinhborhood for years; and not only a desite, but, we believe, a desperate detejtniiiatiou of the more headstrong. This determination was unmistakably manifeste! on Tuesday night of last week, as we were going to press, owing more immediately we, learn, to the sallying forth, on the night previous, of an armed band of deseiadoes, who disturbel the neighborhood by firing shots about midnight, one f which broke a window and euteied 4 room where an Irishman and his family slept. Not one word of all this has been so much as allude! to by the Gazette, the Commercial or the Time, though, we believe, they are notorious facts. What fact nrdre no torious than the complete demolition of one of those dens on WednesOiy evening last, when it burned to th ground? a consummation devoutly to be wished, provided it were done legally by the nroper authorities, hut which no self constituted, nocturnal executive has any right to perjietiate Doubtless the negro midnight lawlessness of Monday and the shooting of an innocent man on Tuesday, whether by a negro or the man of the Gazette school whose name we h ive got, we will not yet pronounce, are the immediate explanation of tbe incendiarism of the dayafter. We greatly regret the hard feeling against in offensive colored people which these troubles have excited, and the consequent injury to the windows of their place of worship, situated at the scene of excitement. And here, again, those papers are at fault We have been assured by eye-witnesses, whom we can believe, that those windows were broken by little boys, and bv nobody el.-e; in f'Ct. native American?. If the United Stales Sanitary Commission have taken special care in their el iborate report to Congress to distinguish between adopted citizens and American bom sons, now swelling the National nrmv, counting all the latter "Americans" and all the former as "Germans," "Irish," Ac , let us. iu the. name of lair play, make the same distinction in rascality. Since the above has been phi in type we leirn a significant fact that no inquest has been held on the body of ihe muidered mn! He was shot about midnight on Tuesday; died on Thursday morning, and was huriel on Friday; ye! not a word of legal inquiry by the Coroner, or anbody else iti authority, into this cold bloodel assassination, known to the entire city, of a peaceable citizen at his father's door. And if those inceudia rv papers tre have named were shot out of existence, they could not "shut down" on the whole subject mor suddenly than they have since the m Wrier of this innocent man. Our breaking the silence just now is. to some, we know, about as agreeable as the apparition of his victim's ghost to the assassin. From the Owen County Journal, 23d. A Slander Itcfutcd. For some time past several of the "loyal Union-loving" citizens of Spencer have been busily engaged iu an effort to fasten upon the people of 0 en county the stigma of a secret treasonable organization being in existence in this township. A Mr. Waiden was the author quoted in support of the wonderful stoty. He had witnessed the whole affair and had ex posed it. Messengers were dispatched, as we are told, to convey the painful and startling intelligente to H.s Excellency, the Governor. The Grand Jury of the District Court were apprise! of the fact and subpopnaes issued for witnesses to testifly in relation to the matter From the pains taken by several to give currency to the rumor, we Ii ivu't a particle of doubt but they were gl id in their hearts, BflNM it gave them food for their depraved apietites, and might afford them political capital to operate upon. But to their sad discomfiture Mr Waiden voluntarily comes iu and gives the following statement, which we give in his own words: "By accident or eunningness on my part, I was nt a tneeii. g. on the night of the 26th of June. 1?G2. at Lind rum's school-house, in Washington township, Owen county. Indiana; lound there John Layman, Jr., Elijah Hedriek. James Hedrick. Mi'es Oline, John Clitic. James Luidrum, Samuel Layman and Washington Thompson. Elijah Hedriek first spoke, nd state! the object of the meeting to be, as he supposed, to organize the Democrats according to the old Jacksonian principles, to assist in putting down the present rebellion against the Government; tint there was a society in existence, as he was Uifnrmel, organize! to resist the Government, and rcsi-t paying taxes, and for other treasonable purposes, called tbe " Knight of the Golden Circle." He opposed such a society, and opposed anything that was oppose! to the Government. Every man present expressed himself decideily opposed to the organization of any society that would be injurious to the Government, by re sisting tix paying or an thing else that would in jure the Government. So every man pre-ent was oppose! to the organization of a society to be calle! the "Knights of the Golden Circle." They did not organize such society that night, and have not yet, that I know of, or bve reported from any knowlelgeof my own. They spoke of an oath which each member of their society was to take. It was in substance that thev were to support the Constitution of the Unite! States, and the Constitution of the State of Indiana, and keep the secrets of the society and to support the Democratic ticket, though all of those present say I am mistaken in regard to the oath to support the ticket, and I may be mistaken about it. There was nothing said about opposing volunteering, or in favor of resisting the payment of war taxes, but every person present expressel himself just as any loyal citizen would. 7.i hi m mi F.

G. Shaffek was nominated for Representative. A.J. Holmes for Auditor, Isaac Goon for Sheriff, Wm. Stckgeon for Treasurer, and R. T. Beattie tor Commissioner. Tbe Committee on Resolutions reported the following, which were unanimously adopted by the convention: We. the Democracy of Fulton county, in convention assemble!, believing that the doctrines

heretofore set forth by the National Democracy irom time to time constitute tue true Oasis ol our natioual liberty and independence, and that a strict compliance with them alone will insure the perpetuity ot our beloved institutions: ! 1 hererore, Resolved, That tbe restoration of our glorious ! Union upon any other principles than those ot the j Constitution as it is, aud of the Government s it i was, is utterly impossible. A consolidated Gov- ! eminent might indeed be formed, with a standing i hi my to sustain it. and a dependent soldiery to ! execute its edicts, but not a free Government. I And with all the energy with which we love our I country, its peace, its prosperity and its happi i ness, we call upon the whole people to rally to the support ot our institutions as they came to us trorn the hands ol our venerated ancestors. Resolved. That we revere the Feieral Consti tution and the Union forme! under it, as our fathers made them, and willing to make any sacrifices to uphold and maintain them. Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed to those twin relics of anarchy and desjiotism Secessionism and Abolitionism each being alike subversive of the Constitution of the United States and of free government everv where; and that we will resist the former with arms and the l itter with ballots, until both are made powerless against die Government. Resolted, That we send greeting to our brave volunteers, and assure them that while they are engaged in putting down the rebellion in the South, we plelge ourselves to put down, by every honorable effort at the ballot box, Abolitionism ut the North Resolced, That we execrate those pretendel puriots who. being placed in control of the S' . : l t i , , . i a , a, .'ü ii iicasiirj, une oiunuereo nie minis oi the people for the aggrandisement of themselves j anil their favorites, ami that ther merit, as thev ! will reeive. the condemnation of au iudignaut and outrage! peipie. Resolved, That we reaffirm the resolutions of ; the Democracy mtoptc.i at the Indianapolis Coni ventiott of the tfth of January last, i Resolved, That we invite all to act and vote ; with us who are in favor o;' the Union as it was, ' and the Constitution as it is, and the enforcement , of the laws, and who are opposed to abolitionism 1 and secessionism and the emancipation of the 1 slaves ut the South by Congress or the President or by any other power except the States wherein I the institution of slaverv exists. Seventh District Democratic Congressional Convention. The Democracy of this District met in Convention at Terre Haute on the 22d inst Judge Solomon Claypool, of Vico, was cho.-en perm t j nent President of the Convention, and. being i conductel to the chair, explainel the object of I the meeting, in a short speech that was listeiiel I to with great attention. On motion of Judge Jaxls M. Hanna, Hon. J D. W. Voouhlls was nominated as the Detnocritic candidate lor Representative in Congress j witiiout a dissenting vote. Mr. Voorhkes being I infortnel of bis nomination by a committee appointed for that purpose, appeared and address! ; the Democracy at length, accepting the nomina j tion, and pledging himself to be the true servant of the people. The Committee on Resolutions, by their Chuirj man, reported the following, which were adopted i unanimously: i Resolved, That the Democracy of the Seventh . Congiessiouil District now, as they have ever i been, are op losed alike to Secessionism aud An : olilionism. and are in favor of the Union of these j States without any condition other than the Con- , stitution of our country. Resolced, That we are in 'avor of a vigorous pro-eculion of the existing war for the sole pur ! Kse of restoring the rightful authority of the ' government of the United States throughout its entire territory, and when this is accomplished the war ought to cease. Resolved, That all efforts to bring about the emancipation of slaves, though urge! by the j friends of such schemes under the pretext ot mil i tear uecessitv, are mule with the view of inau gurating aud carrying out their peculiar ide i ot an irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery; and as it is the opinion of this Couveu tion that there is no such irrepressible conflict iu the "ense avowed by Abolitionists and their sym paihisets, we will, while we give to the Government our hearty support to the prosecution of the present war lor the purpose of suppi easing the rebellion, resist, by all proper and constitutional means, nil efforts to use the war for the purpose of emancipating the slaves under any pretext. Resolced, That while it is the opiniou of this Convention, there is no irrepressible contiict be tweeu a union of free States and slave States, there is an irrepressible conflict between the labor of free white men and free negroes. We are, therefore, in favor of the most stringent legislation to carry out and render effective that provi MM of the Constitution of the Side of Iudiim which provides th.it "no uegro or mulatto snail come into or settle in the State after the adoption of the piesent Constitution." Rewired, That hile we will cheerfully meet all the demaud- of the Government in furnishing men and money under the late call of the Picm dent for the legitimate prosecution of the war for the restoration of the Uflion and the mainte. nance of the Constitution, we are unalterably oppose! to appropriating a single dollar of tbe pe pie's money for purchasing aud liberating the slaves of the border States; and that the act abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia was iu the present crisis, unwise, impolitic, aud calculated to retard the early scttlemect of the national troubles. Rtmlced, "That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervadeevery department of the Feieral Government; that a return to rigid economy aud accountability is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public Treasury by favored partisans, while the recent startling developments of frauds and corruptions at the Feieral metropolis show that au entire change of administration is imper atively demanded." Resolced, '1 hat we send greeting to the brave volunteers from our State in the field, and assute them that while thev are lighting to suppress the armel rebellion in ihe South, we are laboring to n.,1 irä. ballot the disunion Abolitionists of the North Ue,,lr,ed That nnon this r.l.itform the DbKOO racvol the Seventh O..ninioial D.strict unJ full the old stars and stripes with the inscription to the Confederate States: ' Within the Union ol all the Suites under aud in submission to the Constitution, you can have peace and the enjoyment of all our rights as heretofore, but disso lution nev er." Resolved, That we heirtilv approye of the Congressional caieer ol orr gallant Representative, Daniel W. Voorhees, for his honest, patri otic and talented defense of the Union and the Constitution. Judge Hanna, Hum. Samuel H. Bcskibk and Col. CooKbBLV addressed the Convention iu able, patriotic and stirring speeches.

Rioting in New Albanv Tut Negko Excitement The murder of Locke and the wounding of Lansford by two negroes on Monday night cieatel au intense excitement, und at an earlv hour yesterday morning crowds of men and half grown bovs began to gather on the corners and move about the city in search of negroes. At about 8 o'clock A. M. two negroes were over hauled on Market street, near the market house, nnd beat iu a dreadful manner. They escaped with their lives by their fleetness of foot. A few hours iater two more negroes were set upon with stones and clubs on Market street, near Lower Second, and so dreadfully beaten that one of them is not likely to recover. About this time a large and excitel crowd started to D lytown, a northern suburb of the city, where they found several negroes, all of whom were beat more or

less efereiT with club, bricks, 4c , and one shot, who we learn has since died. Tbe proceeding a bete ended for a tnue.-cnh because no more ne groes could he found. About 12 o'clock a negro who belongs on the ram Monarch, and ho has been sick in the hos pital for a short time, was attacked on Market street, near Lower Second, and beat in the most dreadful and inhuman manner. His face and he id was literally pounded into a jelly. He was for a short time securely hid in a bouse iu the vicinity, und thus escaped death. A negro who lives at the Israel House was attacked and shockingly jiounded. but escaped and took refuge iu the house. The mob punuaed him, but Mrs. Israel barred the doors and refused to admit the crowd.

About 2 o'clock -oli.p on nr tvn Imr.drM) nipn ! and half grown bovs started to West Cuion, a ruhurb of the "itv.'in which most of the negroe reside. Here three or four negroes were found, j and bed as cruellv as those who were set unon - jn the citv. They were poundel with clubs and bow iders till lile was neirlv extinct, aud then left to the tender mercies oi" a gang of nine to twelve year old boys, who peltei them with stores, ejaculating ?uch emphatic sentence as "We'll kill the d d niggers, Ac." I chia suburb a negro was at work in his field I stacking barley. He was on the suck, where he j sat for some time amid a perfect shower of stoues j without being touched. To the calls of the crowd, he then came down from the s.ack. and. i m some mauner, managed to talk himself out of further danger of molestation. This is the only negro whom the crowd met throughout the entire day that escaped an unmerciful, inhuman beating About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a negro who , had been to Louisville with a lose ot stone, was j driving his team alone State street on his return home. He was attacked by the mo .. dragged ! from his wagon, knocked down, and fearfully beat He managed to escape his torturers, and j ran for his life, pursued by the crowd, down Oak street to Lower Second, and at the corner of Lo er Second and Spring streets took refuge in a house. From this he was dragge! by the mob, who were proceeding to minder him by detail. Mayor Burnett and Mr. Ben. Lock wood went to his rescue, but Mr. Lockwood soon retired amid a perfect shower of stones. Not so Mayor Bur nett, however; for with a daring that amounted to imprudence, and amid a perfect hail of stones ; and other missile-, and the cutsings and ravings i ... - of the mob, he raised the negro from the ground. and protecting him with his own person as much s possible, got him to the jail, where he was locked up for salety. The negro, it is said, cannot survive his injuries. Last night the mob visited several negro residence and destroyed considerable jjrotertv, among other places the vineyard and garden of G W. Carter, the barier, which they nearly ruined. The city was patroled by sijuads of armed soldiers. Yet aothwllhna iiiij, thi a latge crowd gathered around the jail, demanding the negroes there confine! or the keys of the prison. Getting neither they threatened to batter the jail down with cannon, and at once proceeded to try to get the guns In this they were not sm-cessful. We heard of no other demonstrations during the nigl t besides the wanton destructi&n of projierty of several negroes. This morning a demonstration was made on some negro houses in the upper end of the city, but no great damage was done. A large crowd assembled in the neighborhood of the jail and de maiided that the negroes there confined be brought out and tried; but of course the demand was not complied with Measures are lieing adopted to day which will effectually put a stop to these disgraceful proceedings. It is high time this was done It will be an everlasting disgrace to the citv if the citiy.e: s longer remain idle spectators of these scenes of riot, murder and brutality. There is a way to end such proceedings, and it should !e resorted to speedily and determmellv . Mild counsel has been wasted long enough. The time has arrived when these infamous doings of the past thirty hours must be euded. Let there be no delay. N. A. Ledger. n The State Fair.

Mil i ok. the new Republican Justice of the Su- ! pre,e Court: About tweuty years ago a big, raw boned, brawny young fellow, ugly, awkward and unlearned, mitrated IVooi this county to Iowa, and alter being in tint young Slate about a year, he was elected to the Legislature. This was considered bv Dan's friend;, here as one of the most ex- ; inordinary exhibitions of popular liberality ever 0w(Hj uvery ..., mAn i(in ,i,g us who knew Dan saw, in prospect iv e. legislative aud judicial honors. Iowa was regarded as the land ot prom ise, for. if her citizens would elevate Dan Miller to her Legislature, after a few months' acouaiutnee, what was it not possible the same discriminating people would do for others! And they were right, too. Many of our young Pennsylvanians found fame and fortune in Iowa. Put the j recent advancement of Daniel 1 . j Supreme Bench of the United St Miller to the Stales is one of the most unlooked for events e remember iu all our judicial and checkered experience Were it uot so serious a matter, we should be induced to attribute it to "Old Abe's" propensity for practical jokes. The Snragues of Rhode Island have made a most generous and patriotic proposition to the men in their emplov wbo have families. Thev offer to continue to such, if they will enlist, half their pay during their absence, and to secure t positions to them when they return.
