Their object is K'lf-gar.i and self-irloiy; thovprt.fess irreal love for the oppressed people whoso cause they espouse; but as soon as they get the power, they use k for their own personal benefit. Walker's intentions maybe purely philanthropic; but k is our opinion that if he sivvecds in revolu-ionizing theNiearMguan Government, and establishes a goverument af.er his own polnical predilections, that he and his followers will make äs much in the event as the ci.izons cf Nicaragua. We told those d:rs lonir airo, if they did n't quit racing up and down the street in front of our office, and making such an Aiiiacious fuss, at night, that wo'd shoot them. They have minded remarkably well, till wi.hin a few nights past, they have taken up the "line of march," and one would think to hear them veil and 0 howl, that all the dogs in Christendom had collected to have a general jubilee.

In this ronucciion, wc may say tha we will prob ably pay over a dollar, for tho benefit of th corporation, for violating an Ordinance, which says: ''Thou shalt not shoot! in the corporate limits of sai l town of Plymouth, under a penalty of not less than one dollar." Do s't know whether it reads just that way or not, but 'spose it's some thing near k; anyhow, one dollar i the pr'ce for shooting in tho corporation. If the corporal: u Authorities will have Gano, frcm Center to Michigan streut, cleaned out, so that two Uaraa can pass without T 'nning ngainut .saeh other, we will give-11 dollar, whether we shoot or not.

How Cist we are hurried through the world, and how many are the changes wrought in us, as old time glides on uninterrupted. One day we have friends near and dear to us, who bid fair for long life, and to enjoy all the comforts that a heart -lea world like this can give, and perchance, ere the light of the next day's sun

sends forth ks radiont light upon the earth, ! j we are called upon to witness the writh- ' ings of some of those dear ones in death, A short time, as it were, passes, and we look around us for some of the dear friends of our youth all gone; some to the spirit land, some have left to seek their homes in far distant lands, we know not where, and we are left to ponder on by -gone-days, and the many changes we have passed through, and what will bo the ultimatum of our existence. Times are not as they used to be. Evm ery thing goes on the lightning or steam principle now. In olden times, a parahie. Schooner, four horses and a driver was thought to be a verv commodious and expedhious mode cf getting through the world, and twenty or twenty-five miles per day was thought a suffiei.M.t distance for all praciical purposes. In those days, friends were friends and neighbors vere neighbors, and thought nothing of spending a day now-and-then, visiting eacho.her. But times have changed, and we now live in a "fast age." Talking is done by lightning, and traveling by steam Let us got on a train of cars that travel thirty .. , 1 11 .1 mik'S an hour, an.i we are au me time un easy, and swearing because they do n't run f; s.ci. Thirty miles an hour is pretty fist to-be-sure, but they are made to go that fast, and why not fasier. 0:u dav on ! toe cars, and we are landed hundreds of i miles from our home.

Also the death of Mr. John Hubbard, by the kick of a horse. The suicide of Mrs. Catharine A.

We have heard that Mr. Jasper Packard, will deliver an oration at this place, on the 4th of July, next, if the citizens desire it. We speak for ourselves conio along, and we'll help make the arrangements for a regular "good old time," on next 4th. We will have the big drum and the little

We will haveadinner for the population of Plymouth free dinner, 'spose that will suit the folks the best although we are religiously opposed to arrangements of that kind, for the very good reason, we have tried to get some "nourishment for thebudy," at public dinners, and generally had the satisfaction of wending our way home through the multitude of patriotic individuals, afcr having made several fruitless attcmpts.at the delicacies of lif.

It was estimated by some, that there was hundred men, comfortably tight, in town on Satin day last. That is rather many, WG ll,ink; but including Saturday, up to the present, we think there has been between two hundred and a thousand men drunk, and partly so. A lady cau't go on the street without being in danger, and subjecting herself to the curses and obscene language of those vagabond bloats.

Whereas, Thesuccessof the Democratic party and Democra.ic principles is of inlini.ely greater importance il.au that of any individual member of said party: And Whereas, W deem k important in the coming comes: wi.h the combined forces of Eusionism in Indiana that the Democratic party should present candidates oniiioly f.ee from all personal objections, and whose principles alone shall be the test of their strength: And Whereas, it is industriously circulated that the Democratic nominee for Lieut.

commence the canvass of the Stat? upon flw. ciiriti Therefore: Resolved. That we, the Democratic State Central Committee of Indiana respectfully recommend to Col. John C.

From the New Orlcanu Delta, April 3.J Know-Nothing Outrage in Hew Orleans! Court of Justice Insulted A Judye At' saultcd and Leuten! We have in our local column of morning a brief notice of the conduct of the Huf y mob in the contested election case, which was tried yesterday; we have now to add the second and more tragical act of he disgraceful diama. Before l efcning to the particulars of the outrage committe on the person of JudRobertson this morning, it may be well To premise a few details of the proceeding of yesterday, which were not embodied in our local report. During the preliminary proceedings in the case of Alpunte vs. Bezou, considerable

disorder prevailed m the Court, as has alj ready been stated, and the Judge ordered ! nvurr mm u tlirt r.nr( l.v 1... .. . 1 ni order was obeyed by all with the exception of an individual named Daunoy, who had intruded himself between the Judge's seat and the desk occupied by the Clerk and Sh;-riffs of the Couit. The Judge addressing him sotto t ore, requested him to Uike his scat. The tone of the request was friendly and conciliatory. Daunoy disregarded his expressed wuh. In a more peremptory tone the Judge renewed his order, which was again disobeyed. A third time the same order wa given, and a third time disobeyed. Daunoy, stepping aside to tho iron column on the left side of the bench, remarked that he would stand there. Judge Robertson thcil called upon a deputy Sheriff of Mr. Bvll to remove the audacious disturber; the deputy accord inglj requested him to leav the court-room, but Daunoy was obstinate, and the deputy was compelled finally to take hold of him, whereupon Daunoy pushed him off. It was then apparent that a fight wa about to commence, and the whole gang of rowdies in the pay of Mr. Huf.y, gathered hastily to the scene of action. " One of the party unbuttoned his vest and put hi hand upon a pistol. Mr. Andry, (Mr Bell's Deputy) thou asked the Court for advice as to the coursa he had belter adopt.1 "Rmov him, air," said the Judge, "and if there is any rehinance made, kill him." Daunoy was thei coupon forcibly removed from Court. The Judge immediate. ordered the Clerk to wrke out his commUmnt for ten dav; the commitment was duly made out and" handed to the Deputy, who went forth wi.h to execute it. Iu a short time he returned and informed the Court that It was impossible to arrest Daunoy; he found him surrounded by a crowd of men who threatened to defend dm against, arrest, or, iu their own M ord.', s:ii 1 they would not suffer him be taken. Judge Rober.son ordered fcherhi Bell to t be summoned, observing thai the ordern of ihe Court houl J r: obeyed, and if litce.ssary lie would leave the bench to assist personally in enforcing those orders. Meanwhile. Mr. Rindcll Hunt appeared as ir- . us curat, and moved the Court lo ailow Mr. Daunoy to "purge himself!" of tho contempt. In support cf this mo ion, Mr. Hunt alleged ihat Daunoy l.aJ intemi.in of insul.ingihe Court, that iiis misbeha ior hal been provoked by the Dej u y H.e;itr arresting him, as between him and tha Deputy some bad blood exts cd.

Daunoy then entered the curt, f Howe J by his adkc -;ents, and on disclaiming J1 contempt vras discharged. A faint hurrah greeted the result. Dui ing all these proceedings a hostile crowd had been assembled in the entrance to the court, cursing Robertson, and swearing "like tin armr in Flanders." Such was the sc. no of vesterdav. Tht As the Judge was going to court, hin 'hands encumbered with pape.s and book he was met at the corner of Chartert and Toulouse streets by this sam Daunov. wh accosted him in an apparently amicable manner, lie extended in hand to i Judge, who received if, and told him he Judge and said: "l want you to apologia for your conduct to me yesterday." -Apol- : . i: .j .u- "i. ' . ogise; lepueu inu JUUge, "VOU IiaVd mistaken your man if you suppose 1 can apologise for performing my duty." Daunoy immediately pushed him off to have him within reach of a verv heavv loaded cane, wi.h which he struck him a tremendous blow on tho heal, which was followed by others in quick succession. -The Judge tried to draw his pistol, but one hand was occupied in parrying he blow, and he could not succeed. Two or three friends of Daunoy' then jumped upon the Judge, catching his arm and choking him, while lhe chief assailat t continued his assnul . The Judge at last succeeded in drawing his pistol; but it was wrested from his hands at once. The lie.it ing lasted for some time. One of Mr. Bell' deputies, who was fortunately passing by, came up and rescued the Judge f.om the giip of his merciless foes. The wounds inflicted are very severe. From Kansas Chicago, April 10.

Neither of them fang able to speak the English language, on being asked what use they designed to make of it; replied Nix for sta.' The other endeavored to interpret, but only rendered matters worse.
