K. K's of Vigo County

1 -i.«' At a meeting of the County Council' preventatives of of the Know-Nothings of Vigo County, held at Terre Haute a few days since, the following resolution was adopted

Council—" American" Republicans, as 3 they are. 'The following is the resolution on the subject of Slavery adopted by the Staie .(youncil: ,"First, Resolved that we are uncompromisingly opposed to the extension of 1 slavery and that we will by all lawful means, seek to place every branch of the -Federal Government in the hands of men who will assert the rights of Freedom—restore the Missouri Compromise, and refuse, under all circumstances, to $ tolerate Slavery in any portion of the

Territory oonsecrated to Freedom in «that Compromise." •m Gentleman Cayennes of Vigo, walk up to the rack andgo to gnawing, "fodder or no fodder." You have shown yourselves to be a great set of asses in assuming to dictate to the State Counoil by instructing your delegates how to vote. Remember your oaths, and dance to the music no difference if

Sambo is the fidler, your masters have spoken—youdare not disobey, ye glorious propagators of Liberty—ye protectors of American Independence!—State Sentinel.

When we 'were tied up to the rack,

At the Indianapolis Mass Meeting, Mr. WM. MCK. DU*», on behalf of the Committee on Resolution^ made, the following report:

The Oommittee to whom was referred the duly of preparing Resolutions for the consideration of the Convention, respectfully report the following

Resblved, That we cordially re-affirm all the principles set forth in the preamble and resolvtions adoyted by the Repnblican or Peeple's Convention, held in this city one year ago, this day, and, appropriate to the occasion we readopt tne following part thereof: "Whereas, We, the freemen of Indiana, without respect to party, and actuated by a common devotion to our Republic, and a common reverence for its founders, have assembldd ourselves together in commemoration of the passage of the Ordinance of July 13th, 1787, consecrating theN. W. Territory to freedom and whereas, the unanimous adoptiou of said Ordinance, by the Reall the States in the

"Resolved, That our delegate be in- whereas, we regard the recent repeal of struoted to vote and use his influence in 3th section of the "Missouri Com-1 "i the State Council, to ignore the Slave promise," as a gross and wanton viola's question entirely, and to vote for no plat- tion of the faith of the Union, plighted form which has anything to do with the i0

pre Union, at that date, clearly evinces that opposition to the extension of Slavery to the extent of Constitutional power, was the fixed policy of our fathers and,

subject of Slavery, in any form." extension of Slavery,—Therefore,— What will the Vigo couuty K. Ns "Resolved, That wo are uncompro4 say to the resolution on Slavery passed rnisingly opposed to the extension of by the State Council of Indiana at its Slavery and further, that we utterly resession in this city on the 12th? Will pudiate the platform of principles adoptthey not have to swallow the dose prepared for them by their Abolition breth $ ren, notwithstanding its neauseating properties? Of course they will gulp it down, they have to do so—they are sworn to obey the mandates of the State

there was the appearance of plenty of Government fearlessly, wisely, and for the good of the whole people. Resolved, That intemperance is a ^reat and intolerable evil, and imperiously demands the earnest efforts of all good men for its total suppression, and to this end we solemnly pledge ourselves to e*ch other, and to all the peo-

fodder, but when the "tarnal critters" thought they had us safe, they took the Yaqjcee tavern-keeper's plan for making a speck! They went behind the rack and cut out holes larg* enough to draw the feed out, and in this manner they both entice and defy. But so soon as we begin to pull back, and there is the least probability of breaking the halter, up comes the fodder into the rack.— Thus they have been tampering with us until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue.

We never did tike this kind of tavern^ keeping, or these sort of (phree)-land lords, and we think of holding a mass meeting in one of our big cisterns, to consider the propriety of seceding, as it has become fashionable.

FOR SA-LE.—That portion of the American order in Hamilton county, Ohio, which stands upon the Philadelphia platform and repudiates the resolutions, and nominee for Governor (Hon. S. P. Chase) of the convention of Republicans, held in Columbus on the 12th.—Mad. Courier.

Courier, and the sale will, in all probability, be declared unconstitutional

solemn compact, restricting the

ed by the solf-styled Democratic Con vention on tho 24th day of May 1864, endorsing and approving the KansasNebraska iniquity.

Resolved, That we will Waive all former party predilections, and* in concert, by all lawful means seek to place every branch of the Federal Government in the hands of men who will assert the rights of freedom, restore the Missouri Compromise, and refuse, under all circumstances to tolerate the extension of Slavery.

Resolved further, That our Revolutionary ancestors regarded freedom as natioual, and Slavery as sectional. That we will steadfastly adhete to their policy and firmly resist every attempt to reverse it.

Resolved, That an administration that lacks the courage, ability, and disposition to proteot the citizens of one State, or Territory, in the free exercise of the tljctive franchise, against the assaults of armed mobs from other States, or Territories, is undeserving the confidence of a free people and ought not to be continued in power, longer than a constitutional opportunity is afforded to exchange it for one that will be untrammeled by the slave power, and that will have moral courage and independence enough to raise itself abote all party prejudice one that will not in its zeal to support "compromise measures," lose sight of Freedom, Justice and the Constitution, but will administer the

pie of the State, never to abate such effort until our success shall be complete. That the results of tho short trial made of the present prohibitory liquor law of this State have been even more beneficial than was anticipated by its friends we therefore ask for the law a full and fair trial and pledge ourselves if experience shall demonstrate that the law is unnecessarily rigorous in any respects or defective in any provisions necessary to secure its benevolent objects, we will cheerfully assist in procuring all needful and proper amendments thereto.

Resolved, That both experience and the unmistakable manifestations of a

just public sentiment demand a change

The wind is a bachelor, Merry and free He roves at his pleasure

O'er land and o'etsea He ruffles the lake And kisses the flower, And he sleeps when he lists,

In a jessemine bower.

He gives to the cheek Of the maiden its bloom He tastes her warm kisses,

Enjoys their perfume But, truant-like, often The sweets that he sip's Are lavished next moment

On lonelier lips.

PENSIONS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.— The finance accounts, just published, give the following as the "annuities" of various royal personages charged on the consolidated fund of the United' Kingdom of Great Britain, viz: The Dutchess of Gloucester, $80,000 King of Belgium, $250,000 Dutchess of Kent, $160,000 Pr. Albert, $150,900 Duke of Cambridge, $60,000 Princess Mary of Cambridge $15,000 Dowager Duchess oi Cambridge, $30,000, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, $15,000.

AN IMPORTANT LAND QUESTION DECIDED.—It has been decided at the General Land Office that, under the 5th section of the bounty land act of March 3d, 1855, land warrants issued under that act can be located on any of the pnblic lands, which are subji-ct to entry1 at private sale at either of the minimum oi' lower graduated prices at the time such warrant or warrants way be presentdfor lycation. Lands directed to be sold for the benefit of Indians are not so locatable.
