Growing more and more surprised and sensitire at iho inquiries of the stranger as thiy touched ai every queslion nearer and notrer tho great point of interest tohisown feelings. Ashley with visible emotion and some hesitation, replied, 'There is a young lady living with Mr. Martin, in the char ectcrof an adopted daughter; orrathorthnt was tits case when I left thero about five weeks since. Her name and age if you will sir? 'They call her May, and after their family name: her age lacks some mouths of eighteen again replied Ashley in a somewhat constrained and half jealous tone and manner, which the stranger seemed keenly U scrutinize. 'And this Martin removed hither from the borders of New Hampshire where ho formerly resided1? He did. The people there then told me correctly, said the stranger in an under tone, apparently communing with htmselfbut, he continued, again raising his voice to a con. Tersationable pitch, and turning to Ashley but as you appear so familiar with the girl's age, &c, you may also be able to tell me something of her character, and the standing she maintain among you?' 'You would hardly ask these questions about My Martin, sir, if you had seen or heard much of hor, said Ashley, somewhat resentfully. 'I could easily answer them by merely reiterating the unanimous voice of her neighbours; but before you pursue your inquiries any farther, oral least before you expect answers to such questions as you may be pleased to put on

the subject, I must beg of you to tell me of your motives for so doing. Miss Martin is a valued friend ot mine, and is some, what critically situated in the family in which she resides, and I know not what use may be made of the information I am imparting to a stanger. 'You will excuse my plainness, I trust sir.' The other turned a full and searching look on Ashley which was met by the latter by one of equal scrutiny and some thing of sternness and hauteur, You are right, probably, young gentleman, rejoined the elder traveller, after they had pursued their way some rods in constrained silence, the interest we sometimes feel in a particular subject may lead us to forget the bounds which it is prudent and proper we should circumscribe our intercourse with Strang' 8, but wo will drop the subject now, perhaps we may know more of each other hereafter.' Without allowing Ashley much chance to puzzle himself in trying to make out the character and objects of his companion, or reflect on the remarks which had fallen from his lips, the latter i aimed ily directed the discourse to ditTaretil subjecti, and the conversation soon relspsed into its former tone of amicableness; though Ashley sometimes thought, he could perceive an anxiety on the part of the other to draw out hi3 information, as well as to ascertain his view and principles oa the various points which there was sorrH appearance of having been started for the purpose. It was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon befre our travellers arrived at the snug little villngo, which like moat other villages in Vermont, embosomed among the rough hill and clustered round a water-fall, serve! ss the place of business and trade, iho miniature emporium in fact Harwood settlement and other parts of the surrounding country to many miles extent. One glance suffered to tell Ashley that something more than an crlinary occurrence was aroot among the villagers. Here stood small clubs of men enfacdin low and earnest conversation, their horses were being saddled and led out in haste as if soma sudden expedition, while number?! were passing in and out the tavern, one room of which as seen through the open windows, appeared to be occupied by a denso crowd. Scarcely had Ashley reached the ground and thrown the reins of his hor3e to n waiter before shrewd Davy, running to hi side and exclaiming in tones of Joyous exultation 0 MrT Ashley is como,' grasped with convulsive eagerness the hand of his old friend in both cf his, an ) burst into tears. Why my little friend David! is this you here but crying! How is this? and what is all this going on here? rashly askod Ashley in surprise. God bless you Ashley!' cried Mundle now rushing out of the house, the 'very man of all others on earth I have ben praying mst to se! But come with mo I have a story for your ear, and there is not much time to be lost in the telling, as you will think yourself, I presum when you have heard it. So saying and taking thejarmof our hro bewildered at what he had heard and saw, led him aside, with little David wiping his eyes, an still unable to speak for his emotion, following Ahem close at their heels.

The Democratic Platform is the title of a campaign paper just commenced at Indianapolis, by a committee of the Dmo cratic party, and is edited by N. Bolton, Esqr., an old veteran of the quilt, and late State Librarian. It is furnished to Clubs of 20, at 25 cents each, in advance. The Logansport Journal is now issuing a very neat and spirited Tri-Weekly. Its proprietor commences it as an experiment for three mouths, with a promise to continue if it can be made at all profitable. Walker & Cotton of the Laporte Times have issued proposals for the'publication of a Daily which is to commence on the 21st of the present month. The Laporte Whig is no longer the Laporte Whig, but steps up amongst our exchanges as the Laporte Union. The present is the first number of the 17th Volume, and from its commencement to the present time, it has been managed with a reliable firmness and integrity, and still enjoys an irreproachable reputation. Mr. Millikan has also come to the conclusion that the Whig party, as an organization, has done its do, and is no longer entitled to a name or an existence as an American party. We hope he has made a satisfactory choice in his new association. TÜe Lafayette Gazette, a spirited and very well conducted little weekly, now his associated with its former proprietor, Mr. Stafford. Chris. Miller, formerly one of the Journal's Locals. Starke Coanty. Our neighboring county on the South West, is rapidly filling up with an industrious and enterprising population. The face and quality of the land in that county, is far better than we were led to believe, from a reliance upon the prejudiced opinions of others. The draining of the Swamp Lands in the county, will make such alterations in the appearance of the unimproved lands improve the health of the citizens and develop the rich resources so often covered by inundation, as is reasonably desired. Knox, the county seat, has a beautiful and romantic location. It is on a delightful and gradual elevation, with prairie on the East and West side of it. Yellow River touches the site on the North. Its first view, for a new town, will be calculated to create a favorable impression. Its citizens are generally liberal and enterprising, and we look for quite a prosperous future, for Starke county. Popular Sovercigntj. Well aware that all political organiza tious encounter much confusion and in stability at tne present time, yet we cleave with greater tenacity to the prime ruling principle of popular sovereignty to quiet the troubled waters. Why we favor its more liberal recognition in the Territories, is, because we have richly enjoyed its sweets in the States and in a federal capacity. But we do not lose fight of the privilege at home, in our ad vocacy of its extension abroad. No, no. If a majority of the sovereigns of Indi ana should elect members to the next Congress favoring the repeal of the Nebraska bill, and if a majority of the States are thus represented, we should sacrifice our cherished doctrine to continue to cry out against that expressed will of the American people and threaten the destruction of the Union because our numbers wer not sufficient to avert the calamities the minority might anticipate in the event of such action. But how is it with the opposers of that act in the North? We are by no means tenacious about the details of the bill it has it objections. We know them; but the great principle it recognizes and establishes is uf sufficient importance with us, to surmount them all. When it was first moottd in Congress, at first blush its most obnoxious features stared every one in the face, and if the vote in the U. S. Senate hid been taken upon it in one week after its introduction, it would not have received a dozen votes. This we firmly believe. The people would have thrust it aside with similar unanimity. But after maturing its designs, and contrasting the liberal and lasting benefits it confers upon the energetic and resolute emigrant in pursuit of a little home for himself and his family, with even its most obnoxious features, a change was visible, yet it has not half been told. Whether it will amount to a ready sanc tion of the law as it at present exists, remains for the future to develops; but be the decision of the American people upon it what it may, the principle of popuHr sireialgnty Hj the Territories

can never be changed; and whilst we will tamely submit to the will of the majority, we can never yield our position in this particular. Slavery is an evil Congress'refuses to recognize it anywhere. Like the license law to sell whiskey, it has been recognized as an absurdity to license and legalize a wrong, and our legislature has abandoned it. It has been recognized as a wrong for Congress to legalize the enactmentand existenceof slavery either North or South, and they have also abandoned it. There is a striking similarity.

If the people themselves are willing, however, that the evil shall be entailed upon themselves and their posterity, it is a domestic affair of their own let them try it, but never can they attach blame to the people of the States for foisti g and legalizing it upon them. News Topics. Ou rind iana exchanges are almost entirely filled with the discursion of the Nebraska question. Verily the people cannot fail to get acquainted with that question. An honest anxiety for the most unrestricted liberty at the ballot boxes in th Territories, and an ardent desire for a perpetuity of the Americin Union, are causes which have induced us to feel as well as others, and we too, are occasionally found sipping of the cup of excitement so profusely scattered about by the creed'of disunionists. Such sentiments we must repudiate, and our readers must excuse us. We are siucere in our course, and those who differ with us have their remedv. The Old Dead Party. The following is truly an affectionate and embracing ap peal. No trade of Whiggery to abolition ism there, but the principal secretary of the Bradford convention and Editor of the Abolition paper at Valpiraso, calls. and you must go. Hear him neighbor Whigs, whilst he is speaking of your duty in the present campaign, and whilst you read his commands, blush with very shame for your former associates, but you've made the bargain and you must go. He says: 'Honest men. why will you trifle with the pldin dictates of conscience and religion so much as to hear to so corrupt a concern as the superanuated old line dead party! Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins." Don't you see that this old organization is the instrument for extending and perpetuating slavery, and the protector of the liquor traffic? Why will any of you go against jour own most sacred principles and interists?" Pitching in. How very disinterested the leading sympathisers with the Missouri Compronnso would have the people believe they have acted in their fierce opposition to the Nebraska swindle, as they term it! And yet how laughable to see them getting their heads together even in our little county, and counting over the vacant offices to be filled at the Octoeer election. They have the 6takes sot, and say the people are with them to do the toting, nnd those that pull tho wires are pitching in' for such offices as th.-y think they would like to hold, and they supposo the rabble must stand up to them, or sacrifice their principle its only one. If tho people rejected them whilst they wero attached to tho old line parties, they will be very apt to do so now.

Festerdny evening, a young man living near the Depot Church, upon his return home, was brutally attacked by a party of Irish, calling him a 'Know Nothing,' and remarking 'we have you now,' and then began beating him until his body was much bruised and mangled.

Fmirrnlinn tu Knnvni. William H. Goöde, a Methodist Missionary, who recently visited Kansas, in a communication to the Western Christian Advocate, says: The late violent proceedings at meetings held at Indepence, Westport, and other places in Jackson county, are said not to be sustained by the people of the county. They were the acts of an interested few, and are openly denounced by one or two of the Independence papers. They are still bold and menacing, and, if they can succeed in their purposes of intimidation by strung words, they will do 60. There is an evident design on the part of the Missouri people to control the settle mentofKansa6 if possible. They claim it as their heiretage, and intend to mould it to their will. The end is yet to be seen. The author of the foregoing is known to many of our citizens to be good and reliable authority in relation to the true sentiments of the people of whom he speaks. Mr. Goode was sent to Kansas as a missionary by the Methodists from Indiana, as their most effictive and successful instrument in the hands of the church to labor for freedom and the cause of Christianity. Had there beca any necessity for it he would doubtlsss have called upon his friends at home for the nesessary reinforcements; but what are his conclusions, after lookiug over his field of Uboi? The truth is. ill the facts that we are able to gathir ' from

reliable sources, go o clearly establish and render irresistible the conclusion, that where there are agitators to clatter and make a great noise, they will make it at all hazards; and if the material upon which to operate is not to be found at home, they will seek it aborad. Their exaggerations in relation to the slavery efforts in Kansas; will avail but little, and as the excitement there dies, agitators have the less to work upon at home.

In a suit in the supreme court a few days since, before Judge Oakley, brought by the proprietors of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer against Henry I. lbboteon, for 8318 89 the amount claimed with internst. It appears that, when the advertisement was taken to tho Courier office, there was some misunderstanding respecting the number of insertions. It was, however, put in leaded und displayed, remained so for one hundred aud fifty days, at two dollars for each insertion. The defence set up was cheifly that Mr. Ibbotson's orders in respect to tho advertisement were not carried out. However, he took the Courier and Enquirer daily., as was presumed by the court, saw the advertisement in question and should have notified the editor to al:er or discontinue it. The court ruled that ho should have given this notice, and not have ex pooled to enjoy the benefit of tho advertisement without paying for it. Death of Hon. William 0. Ewing. The painful intelligence ol the decease of this gentleman, well and personally known throughout Lnporle County, and in fact the entire West, has just reached us. (lis death occured at La Point, an Ulandin the North Western part of Lake Superior, whilst enroute for F.ndu Lac. Spenkingof this most unlooked tor bereavement, tho Fort Wayne Times says: 'Thediseaso which so suddenly terminated his ti6cfnl existence was the Cholera, having ba filed medidal aid for the brief period ot twenty-two hours. Thus fell a man in the 54th year of his age whose life for business nnd energy, and peril and usefulness is without a parallel in the west. While his name i intimately blended with the history of Northern Indiana, and paticularly this City; in his Legislative, judicial and professional life, ho was no less known and held in distinguished consideration from here to Fun du Lac, from Huron to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, indeed in all the distinguished citirs of the Union, and the Cannadas. iVor is this all, his extensive business gave him an acquaintance in Europe for many years, and which once called him on a tour through that continent. Absorbed as was Judge . in business of the most extorsive character, and scattered over a vast territory civil'zod and Indian, and ever hurrying from placo to place, his strong mindseizod hold of a fund of useful information, which other men in his situation would have eschewed, which enabled him in all copacities of life to accommodate himself to ciicumstances, to while away a fugitive hour. As a politician he was active ardent and conservative, yet sufficiently progressive to avoid the change of blind adhereance to explo ded policies on the one hand, and that of progress without a proper reiorm on the

other. As a financier, few men were so competent to control so vast a business

i and so complicated with such scientific acm curacy, as a citizen the supremacy ol the law he regarded in high estimation and always sought its maintai nance. As a neighbor, his house was never closed to general hospitality. In a word Wm. G. Ewing combined more elements of a grent man than is often found, and while Mi enemies will die with hatred on their lips, his name and g od qualities will outlivo them to be the theme of high consideration fnr along the course of time, Judge Ewing's remains reached this city on Tuesday evening, July 25th, and after a funeral service ton largo assemblage of citizens by Rev. J. Edwards, were deposited in the family vault on Wednesday 26th, ai 10 o'clock. National Whigs. The National Intelligencer, the Boston Courier, the New York Courier and Enquirer, the New York Commercial Advertiser, the Philadelphia Inquirer. and indeed, all the old substantial whig papers are demanding that the integrity of the whig party shall be preserved, and all coalitions with abolitionism avoided. We might, had we spare space, give extracts from all these papers, but we confiue ourselves to one or two, which represent the spirit of the whole. The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser (one of the oldest whig soldiers in the Union) of Monday says: The conservative, national whigs can never consent to become a mtre sectional, northern party, or stand upon a platform which the North alone can occupy. No political sentiments worth sustaining or perpetuating no issues worth contending for can b limited by a geographical line. There can be no party deserving or capable of influencing the destinies of this republic, whose organiiation embraces only half the States of the Union, and which is avowedly hostile to the other half. What true patriot, what thoughtful statesman, could give his confidence to such a party? For our humble selues, we would rather be in a 'minor ity of one,' than among the majority of any party that embraces only a section of tne Union, lo the extension of slavery we are as strenuously opposed as our Springneid cotemporary can be, and we think it may be assumtd that the whig party in tha free States generally enter tain that sentiment. But there are whigs at the South, also, who do not desire its extension, and not a few who, could it be peaceably Bnd safely accomplished. would be glad to see the peculiar insti tution abrogated. If the whigs of the free Mates are going to erect a platform for themselves, from which these and all other Southern whigs are to be positively excluded, these gentlemen must of ne cessity unite with the pro-slavery demo acrats of the South, just aa it is proposed that the whigs of the North shall unite with the freesoil democrats; and then where are we? On the way to certain disunion, which ever section is victori ous; for from the moment that North und South take this, defiant, hostile attitude, the spirit of union departs and the lifeless form will uudergo certain and rapid decay. The whigs will do their best to keep up faithful y their party organization and wait the course of events. The signs of the times indicate that they will have abundant need of perfect organization and unity before long. At any rate we had better be as we are, than be a party limited by geographical lines. Congressional Conreation. We have not' received the efficial ac count of the Convention, but nave been furnished, by one of the secretaries, with the following synopsis: Bradford, Aug. 2, 1S54. The People's Congressional Conven tion for the 9th District, that met here to-day, was organized at 1 1 o'clock, by the selection of John D. Work, of Jasper, aud as President, D. Bearss, of Miami, K. G. Shryock, of Fulton, as Vice Presidents, and W, C. Talcot of Porter, J. M. Warren, of Cass, and Judge Dib ble of St. Jo., as Secretaries. A committee of one from each county on nomination, and a like committee on resolutions were appointed. Convention then adjourned until 1 o'clock. On re-assembling, the name of Mr. Rose, that had been brought forward by a portion of the Laporte Co. Delegation, was withdrawn; and on motion of Mr. Walker, of Laporte, Schuyler Colfax was nominated by acclamation. Mr. Colfax addressed the Convention in one of his happiest efforts, accepting the nomination. Who ever the administration may select to oppose him will have no easy task on his hands. Resolutions similar to and confirming those adopted by the People's State Convention on the 13th of July, were adopted. The Convention was addressed by Dr. Collins, candidate for Secretary of State, Judge Dibble, and others. Convention adjourned with a volley of cheers for Colfax. The numbers present were variously estimated at from 3 to 500. The utmost good feeling and enthusiasm prevailed, and the sequel can be nothing short of a triumphant election of the People's candidate for Congress. Logan Journal. Further by the Andes. Ntw York, July 31. The Faris Presse states that Omar Pacha returns his loss at Giurgevo on the 7th and 8th at 1.700 men. The Russian force at Waterchti was 70,000 strong, with artillery, and was being continually reinforced. Three thousand persons had been arrested at St. Petersburg, under apprehension of an outbreak. The police told them that no positive accusation could be brought against them but their political opinions had rendered their imprisonment a mattt-r of necessity. The steamship Canada arrived at Liverpool on Saturday P. M., the 15th. and the Union, of the Havre line, at Southampton on the same day. Th War. Private dispatches received at Paris state that the Turks, under Omar Pacha, had entered Bucharest. The Munittur does not mention this, but

only says the army of Omar Pacha, with the English and French auxiliaries, amoun ted to at least 160.000 men, and that Prince Gortchakoff had 60.000. A tattle betwen these two armies is close at hand. From Orsova, it is stated that Mahomet Pacha defeated the Russian brigade at Cernovada on the 8th, afier a battle of five hours, end took possession of the place. On the 9th and 10th, the Turks attacked Brigadiers BeauktT aud Serrnonoff, with other Russian detachments, at Freisha, north of Giurgevo. The Russians were completely routed. By advices from llirmandst, of the ICth, we learn that Prince Gortchakoff was at Fretsha with 10,000 men. Islam Pacha defeated General PropofTs division at Nicholas on the 9ih. There were 25,000 of the allies at Rutchuk. Nothing new from the BUck Sea. the Baltic, or Asia.

The Austrian Correspondence says that ! as regards the present state of the Oriental question, and the answer brought by Prince Gortchakoff, the demands of Aus tria and Prussia are but imperfectly satisfied; but there are some materials which might possibly serve as the basis for peace negotiations. These are left at the de cision of the Western Powers. Upon the receipt of their answer, Austria, ac ting upon her conversation uith Prussia and Tutkey.and upon her cordial under standing with the Western Powers, will take all measures reauisite foi the re-es- i tablishment of the balance of power in S Europe, for the integrity of Turkey, and for a general peace on a safe basis. Lord John Russell has given notice that the Government will ask the country forg an additional war credit.
