TERRE-HAUTE, IND.

•THURSDAY, JTJLY 26, 1855.

What will the End Be? We find by our exchanges that there is not the unanimity in sentiment between the Know-Nothings and Republicans, either in this State or Ohio, as has been cinceived by some sanguine friends of the two Free-Soil Platforms. By the Cincinnati papers we learn that a large and enthusiastic meeting of K. N's, numbering 5,000 or upwards, was

whs

*held in that city, which resolved not to vote for Salmon P. Chase. In various parts of our own State the Indianapolis Platform has been repudiated 4 the effort to forte upon the people issues which were never intended to be agitated by the original organizers of

.'©a the subject, and flippant remarks are

the Union thus attempted to be weak.ened. Some having a blind confidence /in the protestations of these leaders that 'they do not aim at Abolitionism, are led quietly along, while others, more timid and more disposed to consider the tendeney of these steps, refuse to follow further unless a full declaration of intentions are disclosed. When we see men, who, five years ago, talked loudly and long in favor of immediate and unconditional emancipation of the slave papulation—upon the soil—now declaring they hare no desire to meddle with slavery where it exists—have we not cause to doubt their honesty of purpose All such movements and declarations excite doubt and mistrust, and when insisted upon produce disorganisation. What, then, will be the effect?

Evidently, if these issues are insisted upon, defeat of the two great objects will be effected. Had the slavery question been ignored, and the one grand issue—"Shall Americans alone rule America"—been placed before the people, the answer would not have been for a moment doubtful North and South could have cheerfully united on that issue. But making the slavery question

Wo recollect, when a boy, of seeing a prisoner at the bar, arraigned for stealing money. He was poor and dejected —apparently without a friend on earth. After the court had received the evidence, and the Judge preparing to give his charge to 1he Jury, the criminal askod permission to make a few remarks before the Jury retired—this request was granted him. Though young, at that time, yet we never can forget the tenor of his remarks on that occasion.

He remarked that he had been, in his earlier days, in good circumstances, but sickness had changed his fate. He was the father of eight children, but Providence had saw fit to take four and leave four-—these he cherished with the warmest parental feelings, but had been unable to take care of them as he wished his whole system had been deranged by the medicine he had been forced to take during his life-time, and he could not labor as much as he desired. These misfortunes bore heavily upon him—uo friend was near, to encourage or assist. Poverty continued to approach nearer, and spread her dark wings over his beloved family, until at last, not a single ray of hope was visible —the world was cold to him, and the

Know-Slothingism, has had a tendency ijto raise suspicions and doubts in the minds of those who were particularly "averse to Abolitionism, under old party organiiations, and when they see men ^endorsed by those Conventions, and helping to form those platforms, who ihave been heretofore considered ultra only friends he was willing to acknowl*oo the slave question—those doubts edge were leaning upon him, oppressed and suspicions have been strengthened.I by poverty, under the same roof with

against us, while there is an utter impossibility of uniting the North for us, and thus by trying to do too much we lose all. NoVr, if by any possible means, the whole North can be united on this question we may out-vote the South, but we can never hope to do so with the old Democratic party of the North against us. The object may be good and right—but will means employed gain the end soughtV Time will show.

CassiusM. Clay, with the courage of a martyr has gone into the heart of Kentucky to discuss the great question of Slavery. There is no mincing of the matter about him. He makes the issue direct—"The Constitutional Abolition of Slavery upon the soil." We can admire the courage of such a man as C. M. Clay, and believe he is in earnest and his opponents are forced to admire and respect him. This is the question that ought to be made if any—convince the people of the Slave States that slavery is morally, socially, and politically wrong and that it is their real interest to abolish it, and convince them that it can be done and then the end is remedied. It never will be accomplished by agitating the subject in the Territories.

American Trophies in England. I was not aware until very recently .that all the trophies taken during the American war are now exhibited with the other curiosities in the Tower. I am informed that the Queen gave especial directions some time since, that they should all be removed to an appartment appropriated exclusively for them and on no account are they to be exhibited! This is an interesting and significant fact and showing not only great consideration on the part of the Queen, but a commendable desire to avoid any occurrence whioh might-tend to interfere with the friendly relations she is now so anxious to maintain with America.

My attention was directed to the fact by an American gentleman who bad been visiting the Tower, and remarked to the attendant the absence of everything which could recall the dfficulty between England and this country. He was then informed of her Majesty's directions but as a special favor he was shown the apartment, and was struck by the _neatness and complete system which prevailed. Every article is labelled, with the particulars of the incident which gave interest to it, from the bullet which kilted Gen. Packenham, to the blade of an oar which caused the death of a midshipman in a skirmishing expedition.—London^ Correspondent of the N. T. Sunday lorries.

Honored Years

Ago.—The first post office in Massachusetts in 1759, was located in Boston, and the letters were advertised in the Boston News Letter, so that a person residing out of Boston had to send to that city for his letters. In a copy of the News Letter a list of letters is published. In this list there are advertised two for Martha's Vineyard, twelve for Nantucket, and several for America!

The Last Case.—An Indiana paper says, that the last case of son-stroke occurred a day or two since. The individual who received it was slightly inebriated, and was abusing his wife, when the son interfered and 'it him! Precocious boys in Jndiana-^-Jacetious editors, too!
