R. W. THOMPSON,

Will address the meeting, and there will, perhaps, be other speeches. August G,'55.

Police Report*

Henry Streming, was before Mayor Hook, this morning, ou affidavit of his wife, for surety of the peace. He was required to give bail in Si00, for his appearance at the next term of the C. Court, failing to do which he was sent down to the Burnet House, as a boarder.

Dr. Allan Peace, was arraigned be-1 fore the Mayor, on a charge of having] sold drugged liquors* "contrary to the Statute," and taking a change of venue, was sent before Esq. Day, who had examined the case, takes it under adv'sement.

We have no idea that Dr. P., intended to violate the Law, but the law is plain, and men should be careful that, they do rtot tread on doubtful ground.

MtitoEic.—'The body of an Irishman named Thomas Malone^Was found by two watchmen, lying in the street Bear a couple of Irish shanties, in the southeast corner of the city of Indianapolis, ou Saturday night last. The body wa« yet warm, but life had fled. A diligent enquiry into the cause of the murder failed to charge It xipori Any particular one. It appears that a brick had been thrown at him from a crowd of Irish, which struck him on the head behind the ear, and broke his skull. This is the substance of the decision of the Coroner's jury.

jJ^It is .-saitl that only t:\*o members of the Kansas Legislature are really settlers of that Territory.

mingle abolition with politics, *nd to away one portion of the Union aghast the other. It is the misfortune in free countries that, in high party times, a disposition too often prevails to aeiie hold of every thing which can strengthen the one side or weaken the other. Charges of fostering abolition designs have been heedlessly and unjustly made by one party against the other. Prior 5 to the late election of the President of »the United States, he was oharged with I being an abolitionist, and abolition de-

the two great parties in this country has any designs or aim at abolition. I should deeply lament if it were true. I should consider, if it were true, that the danger to the stability of our system would be infinitely greater than any which does, I hope, actually exist. While neither party can be, I think, justly aceused^of any abolition tendency or purpose, both have profited, and both have been injured in particular localities, by the accession or abstraction of abolition support.
