OLD LINERS TltE.HISL1NC*. Ia their extreme desperatioa at the prospects of Fremont, the Old Line speakers, editors and politicians are resorting to extraordinary means 4o defeat the Republican party. They classify- the whole Republican party as Abolitionists, which epithet is a "Bweet morsel" under their tongues, but in application to tho great mass of the Republicans, they know it to be as infamous as it is false. They could not carry on tho campaign—they could not open their mouths—they could not have a thought—separate from the idea of Abolition as the most odious appellation for their Republican opponents.— Their minds are so constantly occupied with thoughts about tho negro, and their hearts' desire is so strong for the negro to be placed all over this country, alongside the white man, that their universal themo is—negro, negro They have but few ideas above the woolly head, and show a groat lack of justice and common sense, by stigmatizing as Abolitionists those who proclaim no such doctrine, who do not interfere with slavery whero it exists, and do not expect to while they themselves, are the negro's frionda, who say he shall go into territory, which years ago, by compromise between the North and South, was guaranteed to bo forovor free. That Act of Freedom was declarod constitutional by the best authorities in the land it went into operation, the matter of slavery in the Territories was considered settled, and tho country was in repose upon

say upon that point, they are bad enough I off, and are obliged to crawl out at the little end of the horn, crying, "Abolition,** "kinky," "woolly 1" Those are the grand

«*n the eflfeota of the

"'repeal of the Compromise, and knowing that upon their shoulders rest* the re«pneibility. they hare btvome alarmed.

and have attempted to acquit themselves by criminating others, All the evil ia attributed to the Emigrant Aid Society. That is the first defence they make. Such a screen cannot obscure the flagrant, glaring, undeniable determination of the repeal, to force slavery into the Territories That was the deliberate and premeditated intention of a few schemers in the very inception of the repeal. Previous to the repeal, bluo lodges had beeTi formed upon tho western borders of Missouri, preliminary to making Kansas a slave State, and the repeal of the Compromise was to bo the grand charter therefor.— The declaration of Atchison was long ago made, that Kansas must be a slave State, as necessary to the protection of Missouri. These things wo never hear the Old Liners say anything about, because they don't want the people to know them.— They would rather humbug the people, and pull over their eyes some of the wool from the southern negroes they are striving so hard to establish in Territories whero the white man ought to bo.

The powerful opposition of the people ^o tho repeal of the Compromise, and their resistance to the aggressions of the slave •power, show a settled determination by the people not to quietly submit to the wrongs and outrages that have been imposed upon them. Their opposition and resistance have been felt by the Old Liners. The Old Liners have had to come down like Buchanan, from 54 40 or fiwht. to 49. Their great man Douglas, the loader in the repeal of the Compromise, and who they thought the greatest man in America, and the only man that ought to be President, could not get the nomination of their own party.'1 And why Bccause they were afraid to nominate him. They knew he could not be elected. The opposition to his course was too great for him to withstand. He could not overcome it, and so departed his prospects for the Presidency—killed off by the very measure he couceived would procure it.

The signs of the times indicating very plainly that Fremont is to be the next President, have driven the Old Liners to the last resort, for the purpose of terrifying tho people, by asseverating that if Fremont is elected the Union will be dissolved. No mau is a true patriot, or fit to live in a Repubjic, who would assert before the people, with a view to stimulate a spirit of disunion, that the election of a Chief Magistrate, on account of his location, would dissolve the Republic Such a man ought not to bo allowed to appear before an American audience to defile it by his presence. Yet in every Old Line speech, we hear the positive declaration, unblushingly made, that the party opposed to the Old Liners are endeavoring to dissolve tho Uuion, and that if Fremont is elected the Union will be dissolved. This declaration appears to have originated with Mr. Fillmore in his speech at Albany, directly after his retarn from Europe. He being a candidate, and perhaps thinking his prospects for success not very favorable with Fremont in the field, put forth the sentiment that the South would not submit to the election of a President and Vice President from Northern Suites. The Old Liners have taken it up, and reiterate it before the people, to alarm them of the result of Fremont's election. Tho Presidential history of the United States shows that since 1008 there have been thirteen so called soctional tickets, irrespective of the Fremont and Dayton ticket and tho most remarkable of these sectional tickets, were in 1824 and '28, with Andrew Jackson of Tennessee, and John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, as candidates for Presi

dent and Vice President, both from South-

But body will understand as tantamount to a all vain—tho people a voice was hushed great speech. The political topics of the ^ndpohUaans with the aid of-tin Na- day were discussed in an able and internal Administration forced the repeal eating manner. Many matters were shown upon the people.

PKOPLE*S ASSOCIATION. The People's Association was ably addressed by Messrs. Lango and Ryce, at 'its regular meeting on Tuesday evening last. Albert Lange, Esq. taking the occasion to define his position fully. He explained at some length the reasons why he could not vote for either Buchanan or Fillmore. Mr. Lange is strongly opposed to the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise, and to the extension of slavery over Territory now free. Ho supports Fremont for the Presidency, because he believes in his election the country will be freed froih slavery extension, agitation and excitement. And further, because he considers the Republican candidate a very superior man. A man eminently qualitiod for the place—and of a high order of intellect. Mr. Lange very justly sets a high value upon the relative scientific qualifications of Mr. Fremont. He would prefer such a man any day to an old hackneyed politician, with little else to recommend him than tho trickeries more or less connected and associated with the habits of old retainers iu political office.

INDIANA UNIVERSITY. The commencement exercises of this Institution were held last week. We understand that the occasion was one of "a feast of reason and a flow of soul." Able and interesting addresses were delivered before the Literary Societies, and before the Society of the Alumni. The latter were addressed by Chief Justice Wright, of Iowa, an alumnus, who is the personification of the subject of his address—THE PRACTICAL IN LIFE. The Society of the Alumni gave a supper that was graced by the attendance of the ladies, and amid beauty wit and repartee^the good things of life were discussed. Y.Y

There were six graduates, who made excellent speeches among them was Joseph S. Jenckes of our County, whose speech was most favorably received, be cause of its originality and good sense.

Hon. James S. Rollins of Missouri, was elected to deliver the n-xt Address, before the Alumni. The Trustees elected Prof. James D. Butler of Wabash College, Professor of Languages, to fill Prof. Read's vacancy. That Prof. Butler will accept, there is little doubt—aid so all the chairs of the University will be ably filled.

On Monday night last a fire broke out in a small building adjoiuing Mr. Bur ton's old Pavillion. The Hotel was soon reduced to ashes. But by great exertions of our citizens and firemen the fire was not permitted to spread to adjoining buildings. The large frame livery stables almost adjoining the Pavillion were saved from the flames. Former visiters to outplace will remember the old Pavillion as the Stage Office, and one of the principal Hotels eighteen and twenty years ago.

CAMPAIGN GOSSIP.

Leading Democrats everywhere are declaring for Fremont. Martin Grover and Timothy Jenkins of New York, twoof the ablest men of the party in New York, have taken ground for him. Grover is one of the best speakers in the State.— Jenkins was for many year member of Congress from the Oneida district. 0. J. Dickinson, a prominent Old Liner of Ajjjichigaii, has purified himself. In a speech at Detroit, he reports the greatest enthusiasm for the nominations in the interior, and pledged Hillsdale—the county which in 1852 ^ave Pierce 79 majority over Scott, and in 1864 gave a Republican majority of over' a thousand-—to give Fremont and Dayton two thousand tnujorr ity and that southern Michigan will give from 5,000 to 10.000 majority for our ticket.

In the town of Fairfield, Herkimer co., N. Y., tho Administration can't find a Democrat to take charge of the Post-office consequently it is in the hands of a Republican. The Know Nothings in the town of Litchfield turn their backs on Fillmore and go it strong for Fremont.— The Watchman is death on the leading K. Nothings at Little Falls. It was formerly their organ. There are only four or five Buchanan men in the town of Winfield. The two leading Fillmore men in Illion intend to vote for Buchanan there is one Soft who goes with them. We understand that there is but one Buchanan man in Columbia. There are no Buchanan men that we can hoar of in West Schuyler.

The Oreonta (Otsego county) Herald says, 5,000 freemen attended the Fremont Ratification Meeting at that place. The

speaking'was continued through afternoon and evening. Among the speakers WAS ox-Senator Johnson, of Delhi—an influential Democrat, who now goes for freedom. Hon. S. Miller, a well-known and influential Democrat, of Delaware, also spoke. Mr. White, of Greene county, also made an eloquent speech. Old Oiseifo is "all right." v« -j'-rs u,?r

"If any ono event," says a Chicago correspondent of the N. Y. Post "is more certain than another, it is that Illinois will cast her next electoral vote for Fremont and Dayton. The 'old line' Democrats— such as John Wentworth and Dr. Egan —who are now canvassing the State for the Republican ticket, say that the only question iuvolved in any doubt is the 'size' of the majority—the excess over 20,000."

Ex-U. S. Senator Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, has taken the stump for Fremont and Dayton He is the best canvasser in the Suite, and his revolt from the pro-slavery ranks, will reduce their strength in Pennsylvania thousands of votes. The voice of this veteran raised for Fremont and freedom, will send a thrill through the hearts of young Democrats of the Keystone State, whose sires have walked and .acted by his commands in the days which are gone.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer, says I'For our part, we do uot scruple to say it, that we would soouer see Fremont, traitor as he is to the home of his birth, the President of the United States, than Millard Fillmore, who neverceased to hate and persecute tho South, until the South had bought him off with the Vice Presidency."

The editor of the Massillon (Ohio) News says:—"We last week, met an old friend from Virginia, who informed us that in Marshall county, in that State, he thought there would be a majority for Fremont, if there was a regular Fremout ticket formed."

The Albany Evening Journal says, Elihu Smith of that city, offerdftl to sell forty acres ot land in one of the river counties to a Fillmore State Officer, the reasonable consideration asked only to be paid if Col. Fremont is elected to the Presidency.— Tho "S.ace Officer" declined

The "Grand President" sent word to tho Connecticut North Americans, thai he would take away their charter, if they dared to ratify Fremont. The messenger was hissed and jeered out of the Convention, and Fremont was ratified

The happiest political anagram we have mot with, is that hit upon by a Boston editor, who finds the ominous motto, "Gold and treason help us," in the name of "Stepheu Arnold Douglas." The same letters and the eamo number of them.

WASHINGTON, August 11.

SEKATR —Mr. Muson submitted a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President for information as to what measures have been taken by this Government regard to the propositions adopted in the Congress of the allieJ powers of Europe recently held at Paris, respecting the abolition of privateering and the doctrine that free ships make free goods.

Mr. Mason said it was somewhat remarkable that those powers should have presented their propositions as a new question, when it was well-known that the United Stales had contended for their adoption ever since the foundation of the Government.

Pearce reported a joint resolution

transferring from the State to the Interior Department the duty of distributing to public libraries and colleges the documents printed tor that purpose also, to authorize the giving of documents to Boards of Trade und Chambers of .Commerce throughout the country. *.

Mr. Pearce reported the House bill for the purchase of Dr. Kane's work on the exploration of the Arctic Seas. ,Mr. Douglas from the Committee on Territories, reportpd buck the House biil.to re cognize the Territory of Kansas with a written report which takes the ground that the Senate bill now before ihe House is the best plan for the pacification of kansusthut the Senate can devise, and recommends that liie bi 1! be laid on the table as a test vote on its rejection.

Weller mnveB to'tiike up*the Pacific Railroad bill. Disagreed to. He said he had yielded to the River and Harbor bills, and now the friends of those measures failed to assist him in considering thut bill

Seward said he was always willing. Wellerdid Seward the justice to say thai there was no member of the Senate who had rendered more uniform and efficient service in tfehalf, not only of the Pacific Rail road bill, but all measures for the benefit of California, than the Senator from New York.

The Senate struck out from the H. use bill appropriating for executive, judicial and legislative expenses, the provisions relative to Kansas. 30 against 12. '.

HOUSE.—The House tabled, by 29 majority, the bill to enable the owners of land warrants to locate the same on any of the public domain subject to entry, whether the minimum price be $1,25 per acre or otherwise.

Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill reducing the duties on imports, and for other purposes, the Consideration of which was postponed until the third Monday in December.

Mr. Campbell then introduced a resolution, whicn w.is adopted, culling on the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish a large mass ol information affecting the interests of the different sections of the country in connection with the tarifF, looking to the enlarge ment of the free list, the growth of the raw material thi formation of manufactures ol the finer materials, the extension of our export trade, and asking various suggestions from the Treasury relative to the revenue atvs, &c.

A message wis received from the President of the U. S., returning with his objections, the bill for the improvement of the Desmolnes rapids. nus-,

He says it is liable to the same objections to ochcr similar bills, and refers to his previous message for his views on that subject.

The bill was then laid on the table, yeas 35—nays 12. The message having been read the question was put on the passage of the bill under the operation of the previous question, #hen it passed over tho veto—yeas 130, nays 12.

The House paused without debate the bill making appropriations for the support of the P. O. Department.

Harrison rising to a personal explanation read an extract from Mr. Burlingatne's speech at Dayton, O., in whirh Harrison was designated as a doughface, with the remarks lhat there would be no douhgfaces if douglilace constituents were not behind them.

Mr. Harrison could hardly believe that Burlingame went out of his way SK endorse vague charges of irresponsible persons, and trusted it might yet be found that the reporter was mistaken. But if the language attributed to Mr. Burlingame was intended directly or indirectly to charge him or any portion of Ilia constituents with trucking subserviency to any portion of his country, «r to any party in Ihe House, he pronounced the charge infamous and an unmitigated calumny.

On motion of Campbell, of Ohio, the army bill returned from the Senate without the Sherman proviso was taken up. He simply •sked the clerk to read .a. ,c.l«us_e from the

biddings—I object. Letchcr—It'a out or order to read the Constitution here.

The second article of the amendments to the Constitution was subsequently read. Mr Campbell aaid that having sworn to support the Constitution be should vote against Sherman's proviso.

Pennington suggested a substitute to avoid constitutional scruples, namely—de claring that no partol the military force, for the support of which appropriations are made by Ulii art, be Employed, to aid the enforcement of any enactment of the body claiming to be the Territorial Legislature ol (fanta? until such enactment be confirmed and approved by Congress but this proviso shall not be ao construed as to prevent the Pre»ident from employing adequate military force, but it shall be his duty to employ such force to prevent the invasion of the Territory by armed bands of non-residents, or any other body of non-residenta acting as a poasee comitates of any officer in the Territory in the enforcement of «ny such enaetnent, and to protect persona and property therein.

Hunter moved to lay It on the table as a test, vote, which was agreed to 35 against 23.

The Navy Appropriation Bill then passed HOUSE.—Mr Walbridge, from the Cotnmitte on Public Lands reported a bill for the construction of a railroad line and a line of telegraph, from the Western boundary of Missouri and fowa, at a point North of the 3dth and South of the 44th degree, to some point on the Pacific Ocean. This is aubstantially the same bill as that prepared by the Select Committee. A struggle ensued between the friendsand,foes of the,bill on points of order. v::

FRtMONT IN DELAWARE, n{The following editorial from the Wilmington "Journal and Statesman," tho principal organ of tho Fillmore ticket in Delaware, commends itself to the patriotism and good sense of tho supporters of that ticket everywhere: #F THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.—The Republican Convention at Philadelphia nominated John C. Fremout, of Califor-j nia, for the Presidency. Col. Fremont,

although comparatively a young man, fills!

a most important page"3 in the recent his-

tory of this country. Bold, adventurous, prudent and skillful has been his career as one of the pioneers of civilization beyond the Rocky Mountains, and although suffering privations and hardships almost unkuown to humanity, ho has evinced the greatest coolness and courage under them h, and has so conducted himself through every peril—civil and military—as to challenge to-day tho admiration and confidence of a great and powerful party, so far as to be its staudard-bearer in the political struggle before us.

The manner in which that nomination will be received by the country at large will be determined by the future but be the development what it may, the Republican party can congratulate itself upon having preseuted a clean man, free from all tho issues aud cliques which' now disturb the harmony and safety of tho Union. Mr. Fremont is a safe man, a good man, and, if wise counsels prevail, the good of the country consulted, and, the opposition to slavery propagandism shoujd unite its strength, he will bo a suceessful man and our free and glorious Union will be once more, and we trust

It will be a happy day for this Republic, if, by uniting upon a single individual to fill the Presidential chair, the friends of Republican Liberty can secure tranquility and safety at home, and national respect and honor abroad. And to that end should all the opposition to the present imbecile "Administration be directed.

If Pierceism, Douglasism and Ruffianism can be "crushed out" in the coming campaign by the defeat of Mr. Buchanan —and they will be annihilated if he is defeated—then may the friends of equality and the Union give thanks to God for the deliverance of their yet freo country from the bondage and disgrace which now hang ominously aud with fearful fore boding over it.

uOi: Buford's Daadit's. John B. Chapman, Esq., of Kansas, gives a glowing account of these specimens of Southern Chivalry. He says: "We are not armed to resist any authority ot Jaw, but to defend our persons and property from the assaults and depredations of the most degraded outlaws that ever diagraced a country. With them we are at war. They are dreaded more than aavagea were dreaded on our ancient frontiers- I have travelled all over the United States, south and north, and several foreign countries. and have seen all nations of people, color and description, as I supposed but how I missed seeing a specimen of the southern bandits of the South I cannot imagine.-— But these are these are the most savage, brutal, vulgar and ferocious looking humans Ij have seen in the course of a hundred thou-l sand miles travel, as my journal now makes out my perigrinations. "No pen nor mortal can describe anything like the reality of the outrages in Kansas.— Every Incality has its oppressions and persecutions, and but a small part is given in the journals, and that is confined to special localities of some letter writers. If you have a single Old Line Democrat left in Wsyne, just send him out here six months, and the cure is more potent than msgnetic ointment for sore eves." iB "A Viooaous OLD Ao*.-—Uncle James Hunnicutt, aged 88 years, and his wife, but a few years rounger, walked out to Starr Woods on last Monday, a distance of a little over one mile, to hear Mr. Burlingame's address, and back again to their house. He and his companion are both devoted friends to Freedom and Fremont, and he is battling for the glorious cause with more energy than many a younger man. We hope many years may be added unto them, and that they may live to see all the Territories of the United States free from the black curse of Slavery, and come into the Union Free States.—Richmond Palladium.

As soon tfs grass makes its Appearance in the spring,. they cease feeding them, allowing them to' shift for themselves in the woods and-' commons unless they have clover for them, which is not always the case.f— When the wheat and oats is secured they get tho cleanings of the stubble, which i*| Lost till about the end of harvest, and after this, they must fast again till corn is ripe, some two months later. They aro then of necessity poor and thin, requiring wo should think, at least a third more corn to fatten thom than if they had been.1** properly treated during this period.'

A former who generally succeeds in fattening a good lot of hogs with but little core, treats them about as follows :—As *IT* soon as his oats are ripe they are cut down and some of the shortest left in tho swarth until it is perfectly dry. th thrown on the wagon unbound, hauled to the barn-floor and trodden off immediately. When run through the fan, about an equal quantity of shelled corn is mixed with it, a waggon loadsent to the mill and ground. A portion of this is mixed with water, in some old cider barrel, minus a head, or other vessel, and allowed to stand until sour. All tho kitchen slops aud Hour milk is added, and once or twice a day tho hogs receive a portion, "the more tho better." When once in a state of fermentation it may be kept so by never removing more than half the contents of the vessel at one time, and renewing as often as tho hogs are fed. The hogs are also turned into tho orchard once or twice a week, loug en-

ripe, by which timo the hogs are in a fine thriving condition, and as before stated, much less corn is required to fatten them. Whoever pursues this course once will not be likely to neglect it in future.

Iu this connection wo would urge tho necessity of fattening hogs as early as possible. The waste of carbon occasioned by cold weather in man or brute is very great and hence it is that much more food is required in cold weather than in warm. When hogs can be easily got ready for market by the first or 16th of the 11th month, there can be 110 excuse for neglecting them until they requiro feeding six weeks later. If left without shelter and no floor provided to feed them on, out tho mud, they will hardly gain a pound a week, during tho rainy and stormy weather, which always oucurs after the beginning of winter, and sometimes with little intermission except what is tilled up by extreme cold.—Indiana Farmer.
