W I 8 N E A S A S E E Lieutenant Gov. Willard addressed the citi zen« of Terre-Haute, on Priday ereoing last.

at the Cojart-Jf" «wlndle?*NH& $&$® $**£*#*$ **»P**V Mr Willard i* a very different mau from that Bcebe who strolled through this place, lately, encouraging the liquor trafie for he displayed, what we vainly expected in Beebe, some cunning sophistry—some specious false reasoning by an unfair and one-sided statement

with the multitude. Bcebe is too weak to be much feared We speak of the weak Beebe, in this connection, as he and Willard are both on a crusade against a prohibitory law.

Before entering upon the substance of Mr, Willard*s speech, we cannot refrain from speaking a word about the manner of it. And now, as a general remark, we cannot see the con-

Bon, there is need of the less noise and ttce versa. He understands that. We did not arrive at the meeting, till the speaker's steam had got fairly up. We found him with his coat off, hard at it, endeavoring to make the people understand all about "popular sovereignty."

Popular notcrciynly This is tho grand key note, now, from which the whole tune is played in all the Nebraska speeches. And why?— Because as a grand principle it is acknowledged by all, Whigs and Democrats, to be the right doctrine and therefore it is easy to run it a little too far, by a cunning sleight, to cover a certain design. They start in the right direction, but they do not stop in the right place. In popular phrase, they run the matter into the "ground. In thur earnestness to palm upon the country an extension of blavery, using popular sovereignty as the vehicle they would lead one to believe that no limit hnd ever been placed to the practical operation of the theory of popular sovereignty, by our good Democratic government. Bit what Is tho fact.— The Territories) have always been governed in all the most essential elements of government, by Congress, and no attempt is made, even now, in these rabid contests for sovereignty, to tiuiko any change so as to allow the dear people uven to elect their own Governor and other executive officers, or their judges all

Kvery body knows that there must be some cxcrciftc of sovereignty, over the Territories, rxternal to tlicrn, while they are in an embryo state—n lulhl they ate crystaluiug into form, and assuming condition to take the rcsponHihlo position of sovereign States and on this idea, the only sensible one, our geneial government have ever acted, nnd have retained certain control over tho Territories without any one's pcrcemng any injustice done thereby,or finding fault T/ith ihewisdmn and poli* ey of the course, till it was found that a favorable opportunity had occurred for the sudden extension of slavery, by breaking a covenant with the North, in giving to the Territories the right of "popular sovereignty" In the one particnlarof voting on thafdomestic institution." That is all the extension intended—that is all tho sore place there is, just now, intho "popular sovereignty" department of politics. Tho slave interest thought they had caught a fatumble opportunity for indefinitely extending," both in time, and in space of territory, the blessed "institution," and it was to be done at all hasxards, even at the risk of the dissolution of tho Uuion by the renewed agitation of the slavery question, which the compromise had settled, and at the expense of good fault, which has proved, to the Ncbrnskaitcs, but a ropo of sand, to hold them Why don't these rabid "sovereignty" men plead for the extension of this popular blessing on some other points and in sonio other direction, besides that of »tawry, which subject they are so desirous should rest unngitated 1 And where they could da it without breaking their agreement—their solemn covenaut? Ah, there's the rub. U|a slavery tUey want, not "popular sovereignty." Why did not Mr. Willard touch on these points? And why did he not, especially, dilate a little on the fact that the totupromisa was fkretd on the North, and kept till the slave power supposed that a favorable poh»t bad arrived for securing their own pur* ]K*M,ftltd then it was forced from them with as little W«iUlion

Mr. Willard. aware of the lameness of his sophistry, was anxious to force into his support our ancestors—our forefathers and it laughabU to fi»4 that our ancestors are Jefferson! and oar forefathers, who at* they? Why, Jefferson! Now Jefferson was a very good Democrat, and he testified directly against slavery, even in the extract read by Mr. Willard, but Mr. Willard thought it altogether likely that Mr. Jeffemon would be in favor of the extension of the "institution." And why, reader, do yon auppose Mr. WiUartI and Mr, Jefferson should deem it wise to exuud slavery Why, to get rid of it, to be sure! The more shoulders the burden rests upon, the more easily they can throw it off. Or rather, would say, if you wish to get the small-pox out of the city, give it to the people. Thia is "misery lovtst company" with a vengeance! This, alter tho sham of popular sovereignty, is the next grand argument for tho extension of the "institution .** Extend it f» $* r& if.

A very funny difficulty Vas here suggested It was said if St. Paul should enter our coun try now, he would not be allowed to vote, ac

nect.on of bawling, with oratory npr of yell-(.oppose that St. Paul, being a good «n»».j

iug, with eloquence nor of bustle and grimace, with reasoning. In listening to Mr. Wtfc lard, the ridiculous idea would come up, that he was under a violent necesfiity of making some deaf man hear, at the farthest part of the body hose remote ancestors had once been room. Where there is a plenty of good rt'a- foreigners—had emigrated to a foreign coun

cording to the Native American doctrine. We

would have, any more than another man, to

claim the inheritance of the children of every

try. This is leveling with a broader swoop

Again: another branch of this "new matter" looks to religious toleration. The Catholics are abused, if an American prefers a Protestant for a ruler. "Our ancestors," says Mr. Willard, "fled from oppression to this country to enjoy religious freedom, and therefore wc should allow the same boon to all Aye and we think so too but if these same persecutors follow us, openly declaring that their settled intent is, to serve us the same game, in this our asylum, as soon as they can possibly get the power to do it aud if we see all manner of attempts, po litical arid social, open and secret, to carry this threat into execution in good earnest,

Tho speaker hnd another little spot of very bad feeling in his philanthropic breast. The popular sovereigns of Chicago did not choose to hear him declaim on Nebraska. They served him very much as they did his master, Douglas and he was really offended. Now we are for popular sovereignly, in this respect. Let the people hear whom they please. Really, Mr. Willard was very indignant indeed, that the people of Chicago would listen to Mr.

Hidings and cheer hi in, and he, himself, could not be heard at all. These things have not been done so much in a corner, that tho men of Chicago did not know of the doctrine of the two men before hearing them speak.— They approved of the one and desired to hear him. They disapproved of the other and deaired not to hear him. Should they be forced to?

Last of all, poor old Connecticut was denounced for using her right of popular sovereignty in regulating her own internal affairs. Shall the Territories have more rights than are willingly allowed to tho "Old Thirteen?"— But into all such absurdities do those run, ho, by false argument, seek to defraud the people. The true path is straight and free but the wrong is crooked and full of contradictions.

For o*ir*elvos, wo deRire to see legitimate, popula' *ov«n»ijroty mafflfWTfflffd to its full extent. Wo desire tho religious freedom of all men. And we are for fully securing the rights of all citixens, native or foreign but wc do not relish distinctions made to the direct prejudice of the native, in comparison with the foreign born, merely to subserve the corrupt political purposes of a demagogue.

Mr. Willard'» speech was rough and noisy

barroom wit but we believe that he, hiuwelf,

has no confidence in its honesty.

jrj« Hon. Mr. Ellsworth made a most efficient speech in favor of a prohibitory liquor law, at the Court House in this city on Saturday evening last. We believe laat nil who heard him must allow that he established the constitutionality of the principle beyond cavil. It is refreshing to hear good sense and the truth, now aad then, in a political speech,.

We had the pleasure of hearing Miss Lucretia A. Wright's lecture on temperance, last evening, and it was a pleasure for, to say nothing of the chaste propriety of her style, the elegance of her action and the rounded beauty of her periods, she wielded the mighty eloquence of belief. The untarnished truth gushed fotth from a full and earnest heart, best symbolized by the overflowing fountain of livina cold wator which she so beautifully portrayed.

A S in a in of flees. Within the last week several citizens of Howard Bottom have called to tell us of a slrunge gathering of bees, on a cherry tree, on a farm belonging to Mr. Noah Smith, living about two and a half to three miles horn the ferry. Abottt thirty swarms have gathered on and about the tree, mostly coming from the cast, but some from all dtreclions. The drought, the consequent lack of the usual supply of lood, has probably made them leave their hives, but it would be difficult to determine why so many swarms, keeping, distinct after they arrive, should fix upon the same lo cality. Strange n.« it is. this convocation of bees is not without a precedent, as many of our leaders will recollect that a simil.ti incident took plu.ee i» or about tfashvilks some yeai since. The circumstance has created considerable excitement among the soothsayers and old worm ol the neighboihood. who infer that it indicates something awlul to the woiId, akin ito Millerisui.— BoonvUle Observer.

could produce, more competent advocates of the rum traffic, than the renowned Beebe. H*e labored for two-aod a-half hours to make the people believe thatthe Maine Law was fill ing-tbe jails and penitentiaries, although it was not,- and could not be enforced. He next attempted to p'rove'tuat all the ancient worthies, in the days of Moses and the Patriarchs, were whisky men—that Jesus Christ was a distiller, and that, all professors of religion who were laboring in the temperance cause,, were Infidels and Mahometans^

Then Jndge Wick came to the rescue. He labored as an exborter. calling those who had deserted the-true old line democracy toTeturn to the fold again. That, now while it is called to day the vilest sinners might return and find favor. But of the leaders of the opposition, he said they ought to be hung, strung and quartered. As they did with murderers in California, in the absence of all law, so he would see people execute these ring-leaders, and it would not make him Wink. But worst of all, this Judge, as he is called,endpavored to give weight to what he urged, by saying that he was himself a Methodist. What greater staiu could be cast upon a Chuih than this!! Who can stigmatize religion more effectually than such a man Only think of it—a public man, a Judge, with heaven daring presumption, publicly calling upon the people to execute Gookins! mob law upon those how i&h to put away the

evils of intemperance from the land. Let his name and principle5 be published to the people of Indiaua.. ONE WHO HEARD.

Iu these stirring times of contest between morality i'"morality between the abettors of intemperance and the5 advocates of temperance aud decency especially as now 'he means to be used by each party aie mrrowed dowu to the matter of voting for or against tho evil how can any honest chnsti in man, a man with the responsibility of the public good resting upon his conscience, a man with a nursery of childien about his knees advocate—openly advocate and vote for such men for office, and for such laws, as he knows will have a direct teudencj to demoralize thecominunity by opening, or rather, by keeping open the floodgates of whisky to deluge us?

How can a sober man, a chinch member, who prays, night and morning, for the conversion of the world, who prays, "Deliver us from temptation," do so great wickedness and be guilty of so great an inconsistency as to cast a freeman's vote on the side of a license for liquor?

While he is communing with his God and "offering himself a living sacrifice" to be used in any way in which that God may sec fit to use him in forwarding his kingdom in the world, how strange that the sound of the ugly word "Democrat," of "Whig," heard at a distance, in the street, should su'dJenly reduce him to abase partiznn of the great destroyer, willing to vote for whisky or the old inventor of whisky, h'm^elf, if the stamp of his parly be upon them.

We heaid a professed christian man say, two days ago, and we hav« been thinking it over and over, since, that he should not take the matter of temperance into nccount nt all in the coming election, but should vote for the candidate^ho runs against the prohibition ticket. His excuse is—party A christian man—a committee imn of the temperance organization, and lately a thorough and zealous advocate of prohibition, and ashamed to deny those principles even now—but going to vole for a runimie for the Legislature because he calls himself of Ins political party! Shame What,party before morals Party before your religion? Doggeries before your church, for the frail hope of a pitiful sub office

How can such a course be reconciled to' conscience To an enlightened conscience it cannot be reconciled. At any rate, man can't understand it, perhaps God can, and to their God wc leave such christian politicians.

Thi SArwftet try very hard to make t*e people believe lb«t Mr, CJ&AY was opposed to fce Missouri Compromise. Read what Mr. GJUT says about i|, and then jadge for ywutselveS: "By the compromise which took place on the passage of the'act for the admission of afissouri into the TJnioo, in the year 1820, it was agreed andonderstood that the line of 36 deg? 30 min. North latitude should be the boundary between ihe free States and the slave States to be created in the territory of the United States ceded by the treaty of Louisiana. Notking could be more to be deprecated than lo «pen anew tie bleediaq wottttds that were happily bound mp and healed, by THAT COMPROMISE."

Who is it, we ask, that has helped to tear open those "bleeding wounds" by voting for the Nebraska bill -Axswxa.—JOHN O. DAVIS!

The Slaveitos also assert that if Mr. Clay was now living, he would be found battling against the restoration of that compromise.— Does the language of Mr. Clay warrant them in making such a bare faced assertion? No. On the cdhtrary, if he had been in Congress they wouldn't have dared to introduce the in famous bill which "opend anew" those wounds. Clay men, everywhere, mark the men who thus slander the illustrious dead

The Albany Evening Journal compares the results of the Jeffersonian nnd Doug-

las policy as to Slavery, in the following stinging parallel detween Indiana and Mississippi:

If it had been •'left" as these "Democrats" think it ought to have been, how would their own state have fared? It was so left in Missippi, which entered the Union the next year after Indiana, with a broader territory, greater commercial facilties, a more genial climate, a richer soil and a larger population.' Now look at the record.

Only one third of a century has gone by and the small State has outstripped the lar^e one. Mississippi has barely 600.000 inhabitants, while Indiana counts a million. All the farms in is is pi *ould be bouglit for sixty million dollars, while you could not begin lo tempt the Hoosiers wkh a hundred and twenty. Indiana has a State School Fund of $5,000,000. Mississippi has not the first recent. There are not in Indiana eighty thousand persons who cannot read and write, while in Mississippi, morejthan two hundred thousand—one-third of the end tire population, do not know the letter fiom an ox-yoke.

For every three acres of improved land in Mississippi, there are five in Indiana. For every Church in Mississippi, Indiana has two. Foi evety School in Mississippi, Indiana can point to six.

Such is the difference between the "policy" of Douglas, and the policy of JEFFERSON.

European War

Wi'h ever increasing interest, we are looking week after week and month after month upon the unfolding of the great vvai diama in the feast, It is the most stirring exhibition the earth now affoids. In the marches, the sieges, the able manoeuvres, the ingenious stratagems, the gallint enterpiise. the desperate conllicts, the masterly combinations and the acts of heroic daring is found cxhaustless inteiest, kindling the spirit and quickening the pulse of men all over tho civilized vvoild. It is natural that this should be so. Man loves the impressive and the exciting, and no more thereof can be found any where than in the "pride nnd pomp and circumstance" of war. Yet must not be forgotten thatafterall.it is but the outside coloring of the war in the Etst that at this distance strikes our senses. We learn of victories gained with a loss of so many thousands killed and wounded, so many thousands made prisoners,so many standards and pieces of artillery taken from the enemy. But we are shown little of the privations endured, the ^risvases engendered, the tortures undergone, nnd still less of the vices ripened, the selfishness confirmed, the hearts hardened by the state of war—that state which ROBERT HALL SO1 well defined as "nothing lc-s than a temporary repeal of all the principles of virtue?" We are not shown the ties broken the human beings ruined, the hearths made desolate, the grief never to be comforted, the shame never to be wiped away, the burden nf abiding affliction brought on many a happy household, or the nameless atrocities, one of which in peaceful times would make our blood run Cold, but which in war are committed daily by thousands with impunity. The darker accompaniments of the war are those which receive the least attention, and yet it is precisely these which invest war with its real character.—X. Y. Family Courier.

A Hew Feature—Bull Trot. A trotting bull, of full Spanish breed, has lately arrived in this city, which is offered by his owner to take the field against all trotting nags in the United States, for a wag-er of one thousand dollars. The bull is described to- possess all the run

The meeting to organize tile Democracy against the Know Nothings, was bald last evening according to adjournment. The hall was crowded, and large numbers assembled outside

phia, and Stanton, of Kentucky, addressed the meeting, without any special interruption.— All the speakers lauded the Democratic party, and bitterly denounced the Whigs and Know Nothings.

A large portion of those present was opposed to the object of the meeting, and accordingly, when the meeting adjourned, a counter meeting was quietly organized and was addressed by Capt. Cutter, of Kentucky, and Capt. Carrington, of this city. The crowd was as large at the last as at the first, and after adjourning to meet again next Tuesday evening, the vast assemblage quietly retired.

One Thousand Dollars Forfeit!! BOOTH'S PATENT Grain Separator and Winnower.

T\e World Challenged to produce its Equal. I

Messrs. Florence and Carrigan, of Philadel- HP1*™ machine recommends itself upon the JL first trial as being perfectly adapted to the

cleaning of wheat and all other kinds of grain and gra«| seeds. As a winnowing machine it is equal to any other and, as a separator, its equal cannot be found. It is the only machine combining the double operation ofchaffing and jjT separating, and will be found an indispensa- S" ble article to the miller and, farmer. To the farmer, because it is desirable that not only the Kg grain from which his bread is made is rendercd pure from all foreign substances and fotrl seeds, but that his seed grain and grass seed j** should also be freed from like substances. A good article of grain always commands a bet- ?., ter price in market than that which is impure. This machine separates the grain or seed according to its specific gravity—and is unerringfein this respect—the heaviest grain or seed is the purest nf its kind and by passing the same through this machine, the cheat, shrun- ,. ken, crown or smut grain or seed is removed, and the perfectly pure of its kind is obtained.

It will be found indispensable to the miller, because, iu order to make tbo best qnnlijy of flour, he imM have his grain pure ana clean, which can be done to admiration by the use of this machine he mav dispense w^ith his screen entirely, for the machine screens the grain perfectly .casting out

#all

stoues and nails, and is

self regulating. The farmer's machine works by hand: tho miller's by machinery, driven by less than half ahorse power. It is durable, not easily got out of repair, occupies but little space, is very portable, and may bojtiade "f any desired capacity, to clear frouvSO to 600 bushels wheat or other grain per hour

They are admirably adapted for cleaning grain, corn, Ac in large elevator*, where if. is necessary to clean from ono to five hundred btf«hels per hour.

The machine soon pays for itself, both for farmer and miller, in separating all impurities, such as oats, chess, spelt, grown wheat, smut balls, and a thousand other impurities lo be found in whe.it.'which is now ground nnd mi.vud with our bread, nnd sowed with the farmer's seed wheat II is equally adapted to all kinds of giain, rhnfiing, «fcc Ac.

For milling purposes it is very desiraole, and especially tho»e about to burlif, wonM do well to become acquainted with it, as does away with the rolling screen hich is very wasteful, and does not clean the grain. The main fen tine in the invention, besides its sun plicity. is the separating all kinds of grain, with ihe mipuiiticsiii parcels, according to the sj)tcitic gravitvof each. It has long oeen a question with the farmer, whether chess grows trom wheal, or wheat fiom chess, it can now be ascertained, nnd the inventor will give five dollars for tvery kerne) of chess that can be procured fiom wheat when cleaned by this in ichine.or ill KOIIFKIT ONETUOUSVMI KOULAIW upon trul for a better machine for cleaning j/iain, taking into consideration sixc. power it-quired, simplicity, durability, time, dec.

We have cciltficalos and recommendations, by the handled, fur these machines, which wo shall be pleased to show any and all who may wish to pin chase
