SLAVE AND FREE STATES.

Modem Democracy requires but FORTY 'THOUSAND inhabitants to make, a Elate State, hut it takes NINETY-THREE THOUSAND to make a Free State; ergo, one Proslavery man fp as good as two FreeState men and one-third! CtSrSo long as God allows the vital current to flow through my veins, I will never, never, NEVER, by word or -thought, by mind »r will, aid in admitting one rood of free territory to the everlasting curse of human bondage.!— Henry Clay.

(tC7”The editor will be absent from his post some two or three Weeks' During his absence Messrs. Milroy & Cole will take the editorial charge of the Gazette. CfwMr. Dan. F. Davies, the editor and proprietor of this paper, being compelled to be absent for some weeks, we have consented to lake charge of the Gazette during hi» absence, and accordingly we mount the Editorial Tripod ifnd make Our bow to the numerous patrons of the paper, hoping that" our short connection therewith, may prove agreeable to both them and ourselves. Milroy & Cole. (Vy-Mr. David Snyder was nominated/last Saturday,-by the Democracy, as their candidate fur Representative. As Mr. Snyder is well known to our readers in this district, it is unneccessary for us to say anything about him. Win. Tiehenor, the Lecompton postmaster at this place, was on Thursday night'last, arrested by a deputy United States Marshal on a charge of robbing the mail. He was taken to Indianapolis to undergo an examination before Mr. Commissioner Rhea, but the result of that examination we have nut yet learned. | P. S.—Since the above was in type, we have learned that the Dr. was recognized in the sum of two thousand dollars, to appear at the next term of the United States Court, to answer the charge. He gave the required hail and was liberated. ■ _ <r Haas of Lafayette, whose arrival in town we noticed in last week’s Gazette, has been prevented by sickness from doing anything since his arrival. He has now recovered his health, and has concluded to remain here a week .or ten days longer. Thb . Dr. is a good dentist, and all persons wishing anything in his line will do well to call upon hint at the Dunlap House. {£7™We understand that the Democratic Expositor, which takes the place of the Jasper Banner, will mako its first appearance to morrow.

Wc publish in to-day’s paper a call for another convention to nominate a candidate for Representative in the next Legislature. This course is rendered necessary from the fact that Judge Robinson, who Was nominated for the office by the convention which met at Francesville, on the7th ult.,declines the nomination. We very much regret that Judge Robinson has been compelled to take this step!, as we have no doubt from his high character and great popularity, that liia election would have been certain. Buthis ineli. gibility, about which there was some doubt at the time of his nomination, was rendered certain bv the opinions of a number of the ablest attorneys in the State, and consequently adopted this course. But, though our county is cut off by a constitutional harrier from the benefit of of his services as Representative, there is some consolation in the fact that as one of her Commissioners, his wise counsels will still bo available in managing her affairs and'assisting her out of her old financial embarrassments.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME.

It is seated in the lap *. i owe of the most luxuriant and beautiful firming regions of the West, having all the seclusion and quiet desirable, together with speedy and readyu access' Irom all the great centers of commerce and population. The recreation and pleasure. grounds attached to the institution arc very Simple and highly ornamented, and the buildings J'arge> commodious and tasteful. The faculty includes in its number men" of first-rate ability, and of long experience in teaching. We refer to the advertisement hi another column.

OLD LEVERS CONVENTION.

The Old Liners, alias Lecompton Democrats, alias Bogus Democracy of Jasper and Pulaski counties, held a convention at Francisvilie on Saturday last, amknominated David Snyder Esq, of this place ns their candidate for Representative; and stuck, him on oT rather in\ a Lecompton' platformDavid is a genuine Lecompton or bogus Democrat too well known-tounake it necessary for us.;to say anything about his political pedigree. We ratlier suspect that he will discover that he is too well known for the good of his bottom in October next, and. that the.voters of Jasper and Pulaski will speedily come to the conclusion that he is much better qualified to dig around and take advantage of laws than to manufacture them. The simple fact that David is stuck in a platform that approves and indorses the infamous Lecompton English Swindle is enough to swamp him even if he was otherwise unexceptionable;" he might as well expect Mo swim with a mill-ssono around his neck: he Will find himself in the situation of the toad that was chained to.» stump, who rated and pitched but couldn’t make a jump. Go it David, we wish you a happy • inter at home.

HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX.

•d According to previous appointment ibis gentleman the able apd popular rep entative of this Congressional district, addressed the people of Jasper county, at tho Court House in this place on Saturday last. The day was dark and gloomy, but such was the reputation of the speaker that every inch of space in the Court. House, was filled—scats, aisles, bar and all were filled to overflowing, and many went away because they could not even got standing room. His speech was one of the most masterly efforts to which wo have ever listened. For nearly three hours he held his audience spell-bound while he exposed in a most telling manner the corruptions, the extravagance and inconsistency of the present Administration. His exposition of the rotten policy of flic. Administration in relation to Kansas affairs, was most masterly and told with withering effect upon the prospects of t,he-_purty who say by their platforms that though thirtyfive thousand pc ;>le are enough to make a : slave State, yet if require;- ninety-three 1 ■ thousand on the saiut soil and with the j same climate to make a free State. During the whole course of his. speech. Mr. Colfax never once descended from the j lofty character befitting u member of the Legislature of a great republic-—no slang, no vindication, no disgraceful personal abuse , uiliaructerized his speech, but it was from first to last a candid and manly discussion j. of tho political affairs of the day-. His reference to his competitor, Colonel Walker, ! was dignified and manly. Not a word which could by the most violent partisan he con- I strued into anything personal escaped his lips. Mr. Colfax made hosts, of friends by his speech.

We regard tho election of Mr. Colfax by a majority largely exceeding that of 1856 as a fixed fact. Certainly his course while he has been a member of Congress, has been ■uch as to commend him to tho confidence and respect of all his constituents. Ever at his post, battling manfully for the rights of freemen, irnperyious alike to censure, throats "br bribes, despising alike the anathemas or the alurements of the present currupt and debased executive he has, from first to last,

discharged his duty and his whole duty to to his constituents, to his country, to his conscience and to his God. No man was more hated or feared by the executive than Schuyler Colfax, and hence every effort will be made by an unprincipled administration to compass his defeat. This fact alone should commend him to the respect and confidence of every true friend of freedom and human rights. Let every man do his duty in the coining contest but half us faithfully as Mr. Colfax did his while in Congress, and the gallant Representative of the 9th Coin.’regional district of Indiana will be ejected by an overwhelming majority. Let us then all to work, and Work with a will, and when the ides of October shall roll around, let the 9th district do her duty by returning to his accustomed place in the councils of the nation the man \vhom she delights to honor. At the conclusion of Mr. Colfax’s -account ; his stewardship some one proposed “three cheers for Colfax, which were given with u will, making the roof of the Court‘House fairly crack again, and plainly showing that those who heard him were ready and willing at the proper time to say to him, as was said of old, “friend come up higher,” “thou hast been faithful in a few things, We will make you ruler over many things.” So mote it be.

HORSE-THIEVES—HORSES WANTING OWNERS.

Last Thursday night, Mr. A. S. Warren, I living in Iroquois tolvnship, in this county, came into the possession of twpfine-looking horses rather unexpectedly, It appears that i a father of Mr. Warren, heard horses whinI ner about eleven o’clock, and thinking their | horses had .got Out of the stable, got up to ; see. On going out he saw two men, each leading u horse, pass from the door-yard to i the stable, open the stable door, when a dog j barked, and the men proceeded to some wheat I stacks, at a short distance, pulled some sheaves of wheat to lay down on and let the horses eat. Thinking this very suspicious, he went and waked his brother up and told him the circumstances. A. S. Warren then went out to the stacks, and on approaching them, the got up and passed round toi the ether side. Mr. Warren turned to meet I them on the hnck.track round the stacks, and the men again turned. Mr. Warren then went and got his brother and father to assist him. They went back to the stacks to seo what the men were about, when they (the strangers) again played the same game, passing to the opposite side, and vice, versa. Trie Warrens the divided into two parties, and the men, finding themselves headed, stopped and put on an air of unconcern. Upon being questioned as to their business, they said they were tired, and as it was late they did not like to disturb any one, and so they went to the stacks and helped themselves. Mr. Warren then invited them to put their horses in his stable, and to take beds for themselves in his house. They objected, saying thero was no necessity, &c., but Mr. Warren urged them on, and they reluctantly consented, and put their horses in the stable. When they arrived at the house door, the men broke amfrun, leaving their horses mid everything else bellind. The follow mg is the description of the horses, saddles, bri- | dies, &c.., which- the owners can procure on ; proving the property and paying charges: Ono a large-sized red roan mare, mane and I tail same, color, small white star on the forei head, small scar low down on tho lo r t short 1- , | der, new shoes on fore-feet and hind-feet ; bare, supposed to bo eight or ten years old. | The* saddle has a black quilted seat, brass horp. representing a dog’s head, and brass ; stirrups. A blue-grey woolen shirt, with i g'reen triinin in gs on the bosom, was tied bohind tho saddle in a silk haddkerchief. The bridle was black, with flesh-colored martin gales.

The other was a large-sized bay marc supposed to be ten or twelve j T ears old switch tail, dark mane, somewhat worn, old wornout, shoes on fore-feet and none on the hind. The saddle was the same as the other, except that the stirrups were iron and the horn was covered with heather. . A webbing circirigle passed over the saddle. The bridle was black, with flat reins, webbing sidepieces, and flesh-colored head-piece. They left a black traveling sack, containing one striped cotton shirt, one. pair blue Summer punts, two double-bai relied pistols, largo bore, and moulds to 'fit, several envelopes .addressed to “Miss. Arebelh: Carni.e, (or Carnic ,) Stansgar, Mitchell county, lowa,” and a business card with these words on the hack, as near as could be. made out: ‘“Abner W. (Jodwed, (or Godvveck,) Columbus, Warren county; Penn;” a paper of charges for harvesting and stacking, running through two weeks, hut without names. There was also in the sack a white wool hat, which had been worn on both sides. The above is as nearly correct as Mr. Warren can remember. Mr. Thomas Dunlap informs us that men of tho following description, culled on him on Wednesday to get some shoeing done, but as he could not do it immediately, they left without getting it done. They then had the same roan inure and « hay horse, (whether a mare or not he does not know.) One wan a large man, had on a white wool hat, with tho crown punched up, and had dark whiskers. The other was a little under medium size, with red whisker* all ov»r face, and

had a black wool hat on. Tho hat of the large man, it will be perceived, was of tho same description as that found in the sack.

ARTESIAN WELLS.

“I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of valleys; I will make (the wilderness a pool of water, and tho dry land springs of water.” Did not the Prophet of old thus foretell, what man has been enabled, through the bounteous gifts of Provideufce, to? accomplish by Artesian Wells 1 It wjill be remembered by very many of the citizens in and adjoining Rensselaer, that two suimincrs tigb all the wells in this vicinity wer- dry, and that for miles around water was only obtained for drinking and culinary purp. ses from Mr. Ballard’s urwl Mr Peacock’s noble springs. In these days of progress, when impossible rf?t longer a word of practical import,such a state jof things should never occur again. Artesian wells, have become so common as to excite little wonder. Through their agenev the “desert may blossom ns the rose,” and “the dry places’of the earth be made glad by running streams.” That fin Artesian well may be bored upon our Public Sqafe.,:and water obtained at a reasonable cost, is no matter of doubt —for 'sotn»2o or 31) miles down the Iroquois, in Illinois, they have several of them, and at comparatively small expense. It. is. a question then merely of necessity and cost. There i*s but tittle question pf its necessity, when wej remember that (wo years ngo, Marion township was ini a great measure dependant upon water, from two springs which are private property, to which the public have 'no right—though the\ ill probably never be debarred the jir-ivi >• of u-imr the water. The . ust in V'vse tum s a question touching tho T mlcr pji'rt o' y. oufer-man-the pocket. No eXatt calf* i ot the. Cost can very well be ’4«doy from the uncertainty'of the ; depth at which pure! water can he obtained. Mr. Win. IS. McKay, who bored the well at I•ufayette/jgives the following bill of price.-: “For the first 100 fecit, $4,00 per foot. | “For the second 100 feet, $5,00 per foot. “For the third lOOfeet $6,50 per foot. “The above prices contemplate working in clay, sr rad orgraYel, and I furnish tho necessary tubing, (of 8 irfph cast iron.( For working in roCks, or whero it becomes necessary to use the drill, I work for twelve dollars per day, furnishing everything— -in the event of going through a strata of rock, and it becomes necessary to insert smaller pipe, this would be extra. I can give no definite idea of the probable cost of an undertaking of the kind, as water might be found in 80 or 100 feet, nnji then it might not he within a thousand—though the probabilities, in this location, are, that from 100 to 200, feet water would probably be found.” It is the opinion of many here that 100 feet would give us the best of water. A gentleman familiar with the character of the county here is of the opinion, that rock woo'd not be found on the north side of the river. Tt is not known that any wells have been dug down to, or through rock on the north side. It is understood that Mr. Van Rensselaer will give an hundred dollars, provided the citizens will give two hundred. To obtain so great a blessings as a a pure ever-running fountain of water on the Public Square; can | five hundred dollars be raised including Mr. an Renssclaier’s subscription JWe all know 7 the times are hard. But Could not a little be spared by the citizens interested— r an|d all who take any pride in their county town and Hall of Justice are i interested—and thus the sum be raised? It i is a matter of public benefit and we give v'n-’se suggestions, being desirous for the public good.

A Priest Beaten in the Sacristy.

A STRANGE STORY. About two years ago Father Sanguineltt came to this city from St. Louis, intending to return to his native city, While sojourning here, however, he was sorely grieved at the spiritual destitution of the poorer Italians in New York, and urgently requested the Archbishop to alb>w hi in to become their pastor. The requisite' permission was obtained, and he at unco entered upon his charge. Renting Pie basement of the Catholic Church in. l anal street, he soon filled it with the'faithful, and became so popular among his country men that his congregation overflowed the little church, and filled the courts on !•<.< h side. It Was his great ambition to guild a small church for poor Italians. As priests are not usually good financiers, he appointed two members of his congregation: (they were brothers living in’ White street) ta be Secretary and Treasurer. The brothers between them bore the purse. Each Sabbath and feast day they received contributions toward the new church, as well as donations for the minister, and the rent oj’ the pews. The good Pastor, who had a little money of his own, and a few friendp who occasionally helped him, told the officers ty add the donations intended for himself to the < ’lnarch fund, -saying thn. a- long as he could he would support himself without assistance from his people, if he could thereby 'further i the object lie had so much at heart. Thus, j for nearly two years, the Church went oh in- ; creasing and prospering. But at length tin ! Pastor", means failed him. He had If J ! poorly, tu lenten diet, clothed him. ■]; as cheaply as possible, mid-resorted to ail softs of shifts to'eke bnt hie funds. i:i order to avoid encroaching up m the cnntribuiio’tis oi" the congrcgati nv, I it the end- -lane atf-ki-t, and, hungry and almost nakt J he applied to the Treasurer for money. That person:tLld him hi' could.give him none;" that the funds in his possession were to in; d .a church j hot to feed _a churchman. Tic Father a sited ■ what lie should do; must lie .starve, nnistlhe | eay mass with his clothes dropping t’ o pieces, | or must he go into the ‘streets' and l eg! ; After much solicitation the Treasurer loan 'd | him $25; but five weeks alter sued him la a Ward Court fortlie recovery qf the m only, j and a friend y 1 it. for him. Father sajni guinr'tti told tie- Treasurer and his brot.!ijer | that they must in future pay him 'the donations received from the’congregation, as lie had no other means of support. Instead pf doing this, however, they tied the mony v up in a pocket handkerchief every Sunday and carried it away. The Priest was thus reduced to great distress, often suffering ft>r the necessaries of life. This state of tilings becoming known t» the Irish portion of his congregation tllev contributed enough to relieve bis necessities. The Irish element having largely increased in the congregation, they urged him to rent the church up-stairs, which was then vacant. He consented, and although $2,000 a year was asked, he succeeded in obtaining it for half that sum. The brothers, When requested to |iay the quarter’s rent in advance, refused to do so, saying that he had no right to incur ep much expense, and the money i was raised among his friends. As the church was sadly dilapidated and in need of repairs,; Father Sunguinetti employed workmen to put it in order. This excited the ire of the Secretary and Treasurer, who claimed that it was their province to look after the temporal affairs of the church, and they refused to pay for anything that he might order to be done. He.then sought the Archbishop j for advice, who told him he had better drs- I miss the officers and take the funds under ! his own care. Acting tip to this advice he sent for the ! two brothers, who came to sec him in the sacristy on the lOtii of July last. He told | them that-they must give him their hooks and the funds of the church, which now i amounted to between s7o<> and SBOO. At i this they became very ;ry, swearing tlial they and not lie. wre masters there, and I both of them fell upon him, beating him savagely with their lists, kicking him and breaking a tabic and some other furniture .ever his head. Father S inguinetti says that, next to < lod, he believes that the timq!y appearance, of his courageous little Irish Serving-woman, saved his life. She sprang between him and his assailants, and picking op a stool, defied them to touch him again at \ their peril. Thereupon the s 'cowards con--1 tented themselves with crying in Italian, “Down with the priest!” “To hell with the priest!”" mid soon after left. Next day, when he was about to say mass j in church, they renewed their attacks upon him, coming up to the altar and calling him all sorts of evil things, but did not do him personal violence. They were finally removed by the police. On the 18th of July an Italian, named i, \ : . came to him and threatened to" take bi !;!e because he"-had'

appointed an Irishman officer of the church. Louis also had to be removed by the police. On the 1-9th of July, an unknown Italian •• (jailed to hire a pew. Father SS-inguiuet-i took him , s o the church, and, wh le shoe frtfr him tic . pews, discovered that he w armed with a long knife, and was evidently watching for an opportunity'to take him nit' his guard. The. father, however kept him •fat a distance, and the vllow. evidently much chagrined, at length h ~ eayim- he had no .money then;- hut. won Id call ...mm In-iqo-course of the evening the lather found the front .door of t.ii > church unlocked, and it is his impression his unknown Visitor intended to assassinate him, and then escape through the front door. ' 'This s!range story is substantially as .related by Father •Hangninetti, hiinsolf, \yhosays that he cannot account, for these ;. tempts to do him injury. He has not \• *L succeeded in GGaining the church funds from the lute oih. ers. The attack that they made upon him was of so s.ovre a character that lio ivas for some time very ill in consequence, and we arc told he has sns-, tained injuries from which he will 'never recover. lie has, however, borne himself toward his assailants with Christian magnanimity and forbearance, neither prosectiting retaliating in any way.—A’, w York Tri--I>U'" , tl Curious.— At a place called “College Corner,” .lives a man in a house, half of j which is in Indiana and half in Ohio.
