DOCTOR F.DSOIN B. OLDS. This gentleman delivered the most argumentative and eloquent speech at the lower Market House in this city on last Tuesday that it has been our privilege to hear for a long time. The Doctor spoko for three hours, and when ho was about to conclude, many of his hearers insisted that he should continue.—Journal.

If the Journal calls the speech of EDSON B. OLDS argumentative, then we should like to know where folly and nonsense would be classed. The truth is, this Edson B. Olds is the greatest humbug that has yet appeared in Torre Haute. He is the greatest demagogue of all the Journal's favorite speakers. If he told ono truth, or mado a fair deduction from any premises, it is more than we can call to memory as happening during the hour or two that we were a listener. If he changed a vote that night it must luive been from Buchanan to Fillmore, as he was decidedly more eulogistic of the hitter than the former. It is astonishing what sympathy these Old Liners have for Fillmore! Wonder if some old Whigs will not open their eyes to this matter before the election comes about!

Thegreaterpart of OLDS* argumentative speech consisted in reading garbled ex tracts from Abolition speeches, which he acknowledged ho had been several years collecting. It was edifying to hear the application of these scraps, culled from speeches mado yfears before Fremont was nominated, and now read and designed to operate upon that nomination. But the terrible, and most shocking feature of the Presidential campaign, according to this enlightened expounder, is the fact, that the Republican party design the Dissolution of tho Union, and placed Fremont in nomination for that especial purpose.— That Frcmont is the Dissolution candi-dato-^—nominated for that purpose. And to all this extravagance tho Hon. HT. J. Brown, who sat close to Olds, most emphatically several times imddcd his head in approbation. It was a little amusing, however, toobsorve a difforent cfleet upon tho countenance of Dr. Read, who sat between the two. The Doctor, with all his Buchananism, could not gulph down such absurdity without a little convulsive twitch of the muscles about the face.

But Olds was at a loss how to bo abusive enough of Fremont. At ono time he had him the richest man in the world, as if that was a crime, or disqualification. Ho waa so rich, that on that very account he was put in nomination in order to buy hie way to the Presidency. Then again, his notes were protested and could not be disposed of in market.

Another thing Mr. Olds was greatly distressed about—and that was, in case Fremont should be elected he would bo utterly unable to get any body to serve in hit Cabinet, drc. These loaves and fishes part of the business are constantly running in the heads of Old Liners—and it is presumable no fears are entertained as to a lack of persons ready and willing to take office under James Buchanan. Perhaps Mr. Olds himself would condescend to accept a place rather than the Buch&n*JQ Administration should fail.

Olds admitted that some of the Kansas Laws were very bad, and ought never to have been enacted—but still ho insisted they ought all to be enforced. Mr. Olds thought the world would get along much better if politicians would stay at home and mind their own business—while he himself was a living example of a politician wandering several hundred miles from his home, trying to persuade honest citizens not to rote for Fremont, while he had to admit that his own State, Ohio, was hopelessly gone for the Republican candidate. a

TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR!

Republican Nominations.

Devil. From the Ohio

State Journal we learn that a few years ago, the Doctor was coming over the mountains in a stage ooach tilled with Western members of Congress. He insisted that an old gentleman who had been taking a snooze, should sing a song, spin a yarn, or tell what he had been dreaming about. The old gentleman told his dream, which was, that as they de scended the mountain, the horses ran away and precipitated the coach over the preeipipe* The first thing he recollected was, finding himself and all his companions in the presence of his Sbtanic Majesty, who called thena all up and inquired who they were. The old gentlemau proceeded "One after another of all my compan ions were piosonted, gave their names, their professions and business, and were all set aside—until a thick-set dumpy, fat, bandy-legged fellow, with spectacles on his nose, was brought up. Who are you said old Beelzebub, and where arc vou from 0, said the terror-stricken individual, please, sir, ray name is Doctor Olds, and I am a member of Congress from Ohio. What, said the Devil, Doctor Olds of Ohio this is not Edson B. is it The very same, replied the Doctor, looking asquint at his prototype—the same at your service. Hurra, here, boys jump around shouted his Satanic Majesty with great excitcraent—jump around boys, unscrew my tail quick and screw it on to the Doctor—there's no further use for me here—he's Captain now! And as he vanished in the smokjj, the noise made by tho infernal crew in congratulating their new captain, awakened me, and I was glad to find it nothing but a dream. The laugh raised in the coach at the expense of the Doctor was heard a mile oif, and ever since then he has never been known to ask a fellow passenger to relate his dream."

USHER AND DAVIS.

We learn from all quarters that Mr. Usher is raaking head-way wherever he goes. The work is going nobly on over the District. Mr. Davis finds it an up hill business on several accounts. But more particularly is Mr. Usher happy in satisfying the people in relation to the fraud of tho Missouri repeal, and the sad consequences which have already followed, and the still greater evils, appro headed from, that repeal. The truth is, tho people over the whole country are awakening to the real situation of affairs Old Liners can no longer hoodwink the people. They talk a great deal about woolly—but they are failing sadly in the system of drawing wool over the eyes of honost voters. These Old Liners have been tried and found wanting. They have told so many falsehoods, and deceived the people so much, that even, when by chance they do utter a truth, there is nobody found to take them at their word.— Thoy say they arc opposed to the extension of Slavery—but everybody knows they favor extension. They say they are tho "Law and Order Party." Bat no boy believes a word of it! And we say, let them have the full benefit of the credit they have established for veracity.

MR. FILLMORE NO WHERE.—Tho Boston Atlas says the result of the recent elections in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Missouri, are not auspicious for the Know Nothing party or its illustrious leader. The latest reports from Kentucky speak of a Democratic majority of fifteen thousand, North Carolina had quadrupled its anti-American majority, Alabama is hopeless, and dismal indeed are the prospects of Mr. Fillmore in Missouri. If he can hope for nothing in Kentucky, Missouri, or North Carolina, where can he look for an electoral vote? In Delaware? Tho Republicans will take the plank from under his feet. In Maryland? Even his once Jidus Achates, Senator Pcarce, has betrayed him, arid sold himself to the Buchaniere. The August elections demonstrate that Mr. Fillmore cannot receive a single electoral vote.

*. tndnlph on Dotiithfiiceiim. ••You talk of our governing you by the representation of our black slave# at the South. You aro mistaken—\vo have governed you by means of your white slaves at the North, and wo will continue to do so."

Thus spoke John Randolph twenty-five years ago. It was then as now but there are signs that tho race of "white slaves" will soon becomo extinct. A few months will determine.

The Lafayette Jt/umal proves that Fremont is a Catholic. It says he always crosses his "t'a." Somebody else furnishes further proof in the fact that he crosses his suspenders. The N. Y. Evening Post has ascertained that he frequently crosses the street, and has been known to cross his legs when sitting down.

The best proof, or at least that which annoys the Slavery men the most, is the fact that he moans to cross Mr. Buchan-

rtr'

I Our readers have by this time, no doubt, all read the Circular issued in our I last number, and reflected thereon. We trust they have read the Circular carefully, and digested well the extraordinary positions of Mr. Davis/ as representative in Congress from this District. His course upon the Kansas Nebraska bill, as furnished by himself, exhibits him in a very uuenviable light, as a candidate (pr the confidence and suffrages of an intelligent people, to again place him in the

Councils of the Nation, as the most suitable man to represent them. To represent his constituents properly, the representative should not be too bigoted, or too partizan, or too prejudiced against those in his District who did not support him. The minority are entitled to some regard as well as the majority. The representative is therefore expected to represent his whole District in matters of general welfare, for the good of the country at large, to have well-considered opinions upon questions of vital importance to the natioual prosperity and the stability of the Union, uninfluenced by any considerations of party, or to hazard the safety of the Union, by a base devotion to self-ag-grandizement and party success. No man can truly represent any portion of the American people, whose first thought is, his own personal promotion his seccond thought, the perpetuity of his party leaving the interests of the country to the last consideration, or perhaps not thinking of them at all, recklessly relinquishing everything to selfishness, with every energy aroused for its benefit. He should have his views upon every subject, and firmness enough to stand by and maintain them. Ilis judgmont should bo untrammelled by selfishness, prejudice or party, but derived from sound views and a desire to promote the common weal. Mr. Davis, it appcars^has had more at heart, his own personal advancement, than tho iatercsts of over 93,000 people. His participation in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise has subjected him to the rigid scrutiny of the people, who will hold him accountable for his share of tho evils that have ensued to the country in consequence of that repeal." :Upon that momentous question his sole object appears to have baen to act with benefit to himself tho*welfare of the whole nation seems to have been set aside, and all that he could comprehend of this vast Union, was concentrated in the Seventh Congressional District of Indiana. The chances were calculated as to which would benefit himself the most, to go for, or against the measure. His unwilling-

ness "to crouch to the Slave power," was finally overcome by his selfishness and adhesion to party. .Notwithstanding ho has told us of his "standing with the Administration," and his "position at Washington calculated to reflect credit on himself and his constituents," his selfassumed greatuess had no influence with the President and Douglas, whom he told that the question of slavery in the Nebraska bill was "unnecessary and ill-ad-vised." How mortifying it must have been that his advice was not received, but we suppose he was consoled by his remark "that great men often act the fool as well as other people." No doubt Pierce and Douglas would be mortified too, if they should hear that the great John 0. Davis thus spoko of them. The people of the Seventh Congressional District of Indiana, also have tho mortification of hearing their representative in Congress ask tho question whether his people would "sustain" him, were ho to vote against a bill fraught with evil to the well-being of tho country showing his anxiety to be his own fate in a "close District" like his, considering it a "dangerous question" to his political success, and disclosing to his constituents that his re-election was the paramount question with him. To bo influenced foror against a measure involving the existence of the Union, by a deliberate calculation of personal political success, is ruinous, pernicious in the extreme, and not to btr tolerated derogatory of the statesman, the patriot or the representative of a free and enlightened people, and renders his position as such unsafe in his hands. We are happy to know tho people are taking this view of tho subject, and having duly considered the course of Mr. Davis, are coming to tho conclusion that their confidence can be bettor bestowed, with more honor to themselves and greater benefit tothe country.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sua (neutral) writing from Capon Springs, profeases to speak understanding^ of the feeling which Mr. Clay entertnined towards Mr. Buchanan

Politic* engrosses much of our thoughts. It i« to me a rnvstery how any friend to Mr. Clay or Mr. Webster can reconcile themselves to vote for Mr. Buchanan. His conduct to the former'is well known, and Mr. Clay's sbhwmce of his duplicity was only buried in the tfrnve. A few months before hi# decease, (lining with a friend in Washington, the moment Mr. Buchanan entered, his countenance became .gloom and discontented. The host subsequent!* apologised for his inadvertence in remarking that Mr. Clay had abandoned all political aspirations, and seemed willing to consign to oblivion all personal animosities. His reply was,' I can forgive all men but Mr. B.—he is unworthy wn of forgiveness and Mr. Buchanan's remarks at the dinner table, addressed !o the host, convinced him Mr. Clay was justified in his abhorence.

THE PCOPLEIFOU FREEDOM!

On motion, Jno. L. Dickerson was called to the Chair, and Alexander Cooper appointed Secretary.

Mr. Ralph Wilson, Chairman of a Committee appointed by the Lost Creek People's Association, to report resolutions ex? pre*fiive of their sentiments in the present exciting aspect of the politics of our country, asked leave to make the following report:

It'tMtiloed, That the People's Association of Lost '-reek iwnship county, Indiana, recoai a, in the aagreisi ns of t!io South upon Northern interests—as exemplified in tho repeal of the Missouri Compromise, which Henry Clay and |iis compatriots enacted to ran ain inviolate jorevtr— in ttw bloody ond cow/irrlly nttock upon a Northern Representative in the Senate of the United SaaU§, lo restrain freedom ol speech, the inalienable prerogative of nn Ame an irceman, and in ihecruel hutcheiiji ol Free State Am rican tilers in the Territory ofKinju, to facijitate the spread of an institution tint is a blig.it and a curie to a free people—an attempt on the part of the South to form and maintain a sectional party, the tenets of which are repugnant to the feelingaof ever? true American freeman. /tetolved. That wo believe in ihe doctrines of Jefferson, as enforced in the Ordinance of 1787, yielding no more, and claiming no less.

Ji'etolved, That the Constitution eonliers upon Congress sovereign power over the Territories of the United States, for their government aud that in the exercise or this power, it is both the sight and the duty of Congress to prohibit in the Tcnitortea those twin relics of barbarism—po lyaomy and Slavery.

that it would have been a blessing to the country if the Free State men there had been burned with it, and their a&hes plowed under.'.'

That is what wo would call coming up square to the Southerners' demand. We have no doubt but-that Willard has been paid liberally for giving utterauce to the above and all similar sentiments. He is in a (air way to be understood.-r-iHoom-ington Republican. -l-

outfo AMERICA,—Joe Orban, an enterprising lad of fourteen years of age,a resident of Monongahela Ci tv, Washington county Pa., was taken to Minnesota last spring by his brother-in-law, but after staying a few days he concluded that the

Eack

laue did not suit him, and he started for Pennsylvania—a distance of twelve hundred, miles—without a cent of money in his pocket. He rode most of the wajjin the cars, stopped at the railroad hotels, and says he met with but one man who wanted to knock his brains out for telling him he had no money, and that was a fellow at a hotel who objected to his eating at the first table.

etohfd, That thfe chief practical question in the Presidential election is the question of Freedom or Slavery in Kansas, and as tho opinious ol John O Fremont and William L. Dayton on this subject agree with our own, and as there is is much in tlvir" history and character to com inend them to our regard, we hereby pledge our selves to use all honorable means to secure their election lespectively to the office of President and Vice President of theUnited States. As we firmly believe according to the Cincinnati platform of the to-called Democratic party that voting for Mr BuchaQiin and Breckinri ge, would beyond doubt make Kansas a Slave State, and thereby give couragc to the Slave element in our national gov eminent.

Resolved, That we most heartily approve of the nomination of John P. Usher as our standard bearer in this Congressional District, as we believe in his tilling the JeH.'Tsoninn principles of honesty, competency, and fidelity.

S:'tolved, That we cacnot allow the present opportunity to pass without renewing our condemnnation of John G. Davis as our former Represent ative in Congrsss, lor his vote to repeal tne Missouri Compromise aid his ardent support of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill, and we most fervently hope that the verdict rendered in favor of our present worthy Representative, Harvey D. Scott, and sgaint.1 the aloresaid Davis, will, on his appeal to the ficemen of this District, be confirmed oy an increased majority in favor of John P. Usher. as a true warning in future to northern doughfaces and traitors to the cause of freedom.

Jtcsolved, That we most sincerely declare our attachment to the Cons.itulion ani the Union of the States, and that while we are in favor of freedom and Iree speech, we are inflexibly opposed to intermeddling wjtn the institution of Slavery in the States where it exists by law.

ST. LOIJIS ON KANSAS.

A meeting was held in St. Louis on the 25th inst and organized by chosing Hon. John F. Darby President, ond Gen. Ratiney nnd J. M. Wimer, Vicc President.

A Committee on-resolutions was appointed, who reported that, being satisfied that organized and armed bands of lawless and desperate men have invaded the Territory of Kansas, with the purpose of expelling peaceable and law abiding citizens, and in carrying out their purpose, have bfen guilty of arson, robbery and murder, destroying property, burning houses, murdering unoffending citizens, while engaged in their lawful concerns, and whereby women and children have been driven from their homes, rendered widows and orphans, homeless and penniless, therefore resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the sufferers, and are willing to extend them shelter ond protection, and whatever aid may be necessary to supply their necessities and allevhte their sufferings. That we condemn the t-pirit of bigMry and fanatical abolitionism, which has produced this state of things. That a committeo of ten be appoinied by the President, to gain the necessary end proper information, and if thought advisable, to visit the scene of the troubles and report to the President and if they recommend raising funds for relief of sufferers in Kansas, then, that committees be appointed to that effect, and funds raised ond properly appropriated. Thnt in" no event will we sanction nny interference or action against the Constitution, or anything not warranted by law ond right. That we desire the Federal Government should interfere to subdue the insurrection, and preserve peace, and protect the rights of citizens of thut territory.

After the resolutions were adopted, various speeches were made and the meeting adjourned.

WHICH IS WHICH !—The Washington Union, tho organ of Pierce and Buchanan, declares solemnly that the effect of the nomination of Fremont and the purpose of those who support hirn, is todissolve the Union— that it is. in fact, a plot and conspiracy to dissolve the Union, and nothing else. The Charleston.:l/erctJ7^—the leading Southern organ of the Pierce and Buchanan Democracy—on the other hand, declares that "there is not a single public man in the South—not one of the present Representatives ond Senators in Congress who is not pledged to the lips in fsvor of disunion-" So it seems that both parties, both sections '—the whole country, in short, is going for disunion. What humbug, what trash, what imposture is this It is surprising that journals pretending to any share of respectability should utter such rank nonsense.

There is not a single State in the confederation which dare raise the flagof disunion. —N. Y. Herald.

REMEMBER THE BRAVE.—IT will be hard to resist a tear to the memory of the brave, in reading the following incident, which occurred in Com. Perry's vessel after the battle on Lake Erie:

One poor fellow was sent below to a Surgeon with hismjhtarm dangling like an empty coat sleeve at his side. He bore the painful operation without a groan or a murmur, although cold drops of agony stood on his trembling flesh.

An hour after his arm was amputated, he called the Sui^eon to his side and said: "I should like to se« my arm if you've no objections." "None in the world," replied the- Surgeon, "if you desire it."

The amputed limb was at once brought to him and poor Jack pressing the cold hand which had "forgot its cunning" in his left, he exclaimed with tears in his eyes: "Farewell, oldmossmate! You and I have weathered many a rough gale together now we must part. You have been

a good friend to me I shall never such another!"
