Inconsistency.
We •received quite a flagellation, last evening, from a gentleman, for whom we have always entertained the highest respect, because of our article of yoterday, under the head of Torre-Haute Platform and tho Express—the charge was pro-slavery, and in the next breath we were charged with pursuing a milk and watercourse—neither being for abolition or pro-slavery. Talk about proscription Why, the Pope of Borne could bo no more intolerant than the gentleman in question—nor more inconsistent either. He declared he had stopped Mr. Soiile's paper (the .Express) because of its "Abolition ism," and now quits the American because, as he says, it is pro-slavery, i. e. antiabolition. We are sorry to lose a subscriber—it will almost ruin us,no doubt, but we feel more of sorrow at the illiberally of the gentleman in proscribing us, because we cannot think just as he does.
We fcanndfc trim our sails so as to steer in the wake of every vessel that Hails on the political ocean at this time, and the gentleman in question would despise us if we attempted to do so therefore, we shall take truth for our chart, and pursue the course our own convictions of right shall dictate, and if we run athwart the bows of other craft, the weaker must yield.
We may lose more subscribers, because we will not declare, Perish the Union that the Slaves may go free."— But if so, we must lose them. We hold the Usios of these States above every other consideration, and while we abhor Slavery, in every form, and would rejoice to see the curse removed, still we shall never agree to agitate a ques tion that will produce disruption and civil war, when there is not the slight eat hope thereby of effecting|tho manuumission of a single slave. The policy i« unwise—the plan is inexpedient.— The fetters of Slavery have been rivetted a hundred-fold more closely by a frantic agitation the North. Wo know scores of men in the State of our nativity, who, twelve years ago, gloried in the name of Abolitionist, who are uncompromisingly opposed to the principles. They believe that the question should be settled in the South for themselves and by themselves, any attempt at interferences by those from without arouses that principle of resis- ., tence so inherent in the Anglo-Ameri-can race,

Political PjutiM.
He must be a fastidious politician indeed who cannot now find a party, from among the group that is offered to him,' that suits his fancy. The organizations are numerous and the character of them We varried sons to be adapted to the idiosyncrasies of,the most radical or the mildest conservative in politics. Thus we have in the full glow of young and vigorous existence, the American party, which has just constructed a platform in Philadelphia the Democratic party, as represented by the National Administration and its followers the Democratic party, as opposed to the Administretion the Whig party, as also opposed to the National Administration ,the
Northern and Western Americans, who roccntly seceded from the great National American convention in Philadelphia the Know-Somethings, as opposed to slavery, who recently assembled at Cleveland, Ohio the Say-Noth-ings, as opposed to tho Know-Nothings, and organized in various portions of the West tho Abolitionists, as organized in Now York, Massachusetts, and several other States the Seuthern party ns recently advocated at a public meeting held in Georgia the Friends of Temperance, as active in several of the States the Opponents of the Prohibitory Liquor Law Bill in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersy, and other organizations on a smaller scale, which it is not worth while mentioning in this connection. The chacesare, however, that before the Presidential struggle, there will be various unions and coalitions, and that, as a consequence, there will bo but two oi three great national pariies in the field.
Of all these organizations, the American is tho only one that has any real, active vitality.—Louisville Journal.
Railroad Troubles.
The uight express train which left here Thusduy evening, at 7:45 P. M., for St. Louis, was stopped at Sumner by a body of about seventy men, who refused to let the cars go any further, until certain demands against the company or owners of tho road were paid. The train returned to this place, and Mr. Wyman, the agent of Messrs. Page and Bacon, went out and settled the matter, when the train passed on. It is to be regretted that those who have claims against the road, can find no other means of redress than in this summary process. A little patience will, we are sure, bring matters all right in this particular.— Every possible effort is being made to relieve the necessities of tho road, and none but those who believe the road is worthless, can have any doubt of the ultimate ability of its owners to pay every cent of money which may be owing on its account. Can any one be so foolish as to entortain such an idea for a moment?
ABOVE ALL BE AMERICANS!—But as sure as you vahie freedom, civilization, your own happiness, and tlie welfare of -your children, divest yourself of the idea of either making America German or Irish, or forming a Germany—and Ireland—in America.

Is IT SCRIPTURAL TO DANCE?—Something was said the other day about an Evangelical church at Gloucester, Mass., removing its pastor, because of a discourse of his in fnvor of dancing. It turns out now, that a majority the female members were in favor of the pastor, and as they had on some occasions boen permitted to vote, there was some trouble on account of their being deprived of a vote on this question. It was an anti-woman's Bights demonstration from beginning to end. jt

Now, why can't the woman dance and be scriptural too? That is the question.—Is it not written in the good book that "Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand—and all the women went out after her, with timbrels and with dances? The daughter of Herodias danced, too— but, lest the equivocal purpose which her terpsichorean performances are supDosed to have in view, be cited in condemnation of the women of Gloucester, we pass on to ask how are we going to overcome Ihe command to "Praise God in the cymbals and dances"—which, by the way, is sung, in good English, in every Episcopal church, and in good Latin in every Roman church, through out the world, on the 31st day of every month in the year—especially if that day be Sunday.—jV. ¥.
