We hove set up, in onr office, aod have" now iit full operation,a beautiful Power Prut, from the Fouwiory of the wi»rld-r«nowned machinist*, HOE A CO., of New York. This elegant Press is nfine.specimen of their workmanship, made to order expressly for this office.

We claim the honor of bringing our fine city of Tcrre-Haute up with tho times in the department of pre*#-work, this being the first Power Press ever introduced into it. Our neighbors who have a curiosity to see a press that can do any thing in the newspaper line, or in any other line of printing, cxcept editing, are invited to call and see its op«rations. All but editing, ws say, and we would sooner trust it f„r that, than some two legged writers we wot of.

And now we are ready to servo our friends in printing. Please lo bring on yourorders for Hand Bills Cards, Blanks—in fine, printing of all descriptions, and we can whirl it out to you iu the finest style without delay.

ST. JLOirIS MOBALS.

The St. Louis Intelligencer, which, since the accession of a certain help to its corps editorial, has necessarily lost much of its moral force among sensible people, has come out with an endorsement of the Southern doctrine that tho foreign slave trade should not bo restrained. He characterises the opponents of tho slave trade as "pirates of humanity."

This writer is consistent, however, in applying the same rule to the management of the slave trade and bawdy houses that he recognizes as applicable to the liquor traffic. He unys:

There are some fanatics, and their prototypes muft have been concerned in putting down the ftlavc trade, who will have extremes they will not regulate drinking house*,—they will abolish them, and promote secret and more dangerous vice they will not license and regulate houses over which the police in other countries exercise ft control in their holy purity, they ignore them, and since the human pnsnoiis exist, HIUI will, iu many instances be gra titied, tlic.se establishments multiply and become five fold more dangcrou* than lliey wmild l«! were they regulated as in France.— There is fanaticism of a severity which sees no d»grecs in in crime, and will have all or nothing which is not content to restrain, but aims at impossible and impracticable total reforms. This does harm. Neither the slave trade, nor liquor houses, nor worse establishments, will ever be utterly put down whilst slaves are needed, and men are born with human passions, and, for tho most part, are far from saints.

Is not this a pretty specimen of purity 1 Is not this a fine doctrine to put on paper in daylight, in a christian community? Establish bawdy houses, establish doggeries, establish the Blade trade, and regulate them by law.— Men will do evil, and therefore it is folly to make laws against it 1 Now wo demand that tho Intelligencer pursuo his principle to its fair conclusion. Men will steal, will counterfoil, will rob, will murder. What, then, is tho use of making lnws against these crimes*— They should be regulated by law—you should dictate at what hour of the twenty-four a man may steal or rob, and with what instrument ho may kill his neighbor but as for attempting to }ret)tn( those things by law, none but fanatics would dream of it. Here is the doctrine fairly spread out. In short, it is Woadly taught here that because men are imperfect and will do wrong, therefore law should be accommodated to this stato of things, and we should not pass laws forbidding these wrongs. What jurist would risk his name attached to such a doctrine Law is, from its very nature, unyielding. A thing is right or it is wrong. If it is wrong it is the province of law to forbid it. It is a perversion of law, to set it to regulate an evil. There can be no compromise between law and wrong. If you regulate a business, then to the extent to which it ia left free from the condemnation of the law, you declare it to be right,. Law cannot harmonise with wrong. God knew that men would transgress his law, yet he command* us to lo*e him with all our powers. He says "thou shalt not kill thou shiilt not steal thou shalt not commit adultery," Now, by the reasoning of the Intelligencer, these laws are shown to be very un wise, They are certainly very far alag of "Voting America." To Suit his scale of morals and ideas of the province of law, the Almighty should have added the qualifying clause, "so for as you find it agreeable to rtfra.n," -J ..

In fact sentiments ©flW Sort to which we allude hardly merit serious discussion, and would be beneath notice, if they wetre to be presented to none but mature and educated minds, but the hidden falsity, though the con* ceakftent ia thin, may impose on the young and the weak.

If this writer were a farmer, instead of jurist he would carefully ascertain the height to which his unruly cattle would probably jump, and have all the rails of his fence, exceeding that height, wisely removed. lest the uneasy beast, determined to overleap it, *he«h} break,th*w,

rage till they are red in the face. Look at the goodly cavalcade as they amble from town to town, over the rich plains of old Vigo. Hfhat indignation rests on their honest countenances No wonder, no wonder for this Eden of a heritage is threatened with the blasting effects of temperance. What a pity it would be if the old fogies should get a prohibitory law and gtuxling should be stopped. Well, we do see it would be hard on these dear agents of the people who have so long had the special care of the drinking department of politics. Wc really do sympathise with you, gentlemen, for we can easily conceive it to be very uncomfortable breaking off old habits, these good old habits of drinking for the dear people. Tell them so. Don't forget to mention that matter to the dear people, how the awful Temperance men, the Anti-Nebraska men, the Free-Soilers and Abolitionists are going to stop the grog.

But now we think it will go well with grog yet for we see that our friends of the liquor stripe are exercised very fundamentally so much so that they have thrown np a candidate or two, to look after our good, from the very bottom of the liquor interest. How charming! How considerate 1 that the liquor interest should send out the very master-workmen of drunkard making to assist the dear people out of this disagreeable snap men, indeed, who know all about the value of liquor men who have gained thousands by it, and who expect to gain thousands more. Here they go, a glorious brotherhood the captains of the gab, to talk all about the liquor, unconstitutionality, abolition, and all such dreadful horned words, and another set to say amen.

And now it occurs to us to think what a fine thing it would be if wc were only at leisure and bad money and were intellectual and learned in politics, and cute on Nebraska and personally a good judge of whisky,togfo round the country with this fine caravan and talk to the people with a bold and generous heart. Not for office no*.ind«sed but just for honest goodwill for our neighbors and as a free-will offering for our country, to tell them all about Nebraska and good liquor! Wouldn't it be glorious? Wouldn't it be honor enough for one short life Think of the honor of hanging on tho skirts of such a cohort for such a purpose.

But to talk in another strain, we hare two good, stanch temperance men to look out for our good, BURNETT and HUDSON, good men and true to the cold water cause, to the cause of tho country, the cause of humanity. Good men and true, we say, and gentlemen every inch. If their counsels prevail, all will be safe. The people know them, and know that in their hands they can confide their dearest interests without concern. Success to the right.

OUTRAOK.—The too prevalent

disregard of law, nntl tendency to outrage nnd violence, are not altogether confined to large cities, but are extending to small towns and villages. It appears, the editor of tho Port Tobacco (Md.) Times has offended a few rowdies in that village, nnd on Sundny night of last week, they procured a keg of gunpowder, which they buried among large stones and gravel, within one hundred yards of his dwelling, and fired it off, startling the whole village by the explosion, but fortunately doing no other damage beyond breakiug a few panes of window glass in the dwelling of Mr. Padgett, a neighbor of the editor. The Times intimates that the authors of this atrocious villany are what is called "respectable young men," but it seems to us it would detract nothing from their respect abil'Uy ti they were permitted to pass a few years in th« JM«ryl»ad Pmitentiify Louis Intelligencer*,

O" We are sorry to see Prof. Larrabee, in the heat of political excitement, stoop to the moan expedient of slandering his native State of Maine, by saying that "from his own observation," he knows that there is more intemperance in that State since the passage of the Maine Law than before it. Prof. Larrabee should remember that he is not the only native of Maine now in Indiana, nof the only native who has been looking into the workings of the Maine Law. We take the liberty to contradict Prof. Larrabee's experience in this matter, and find it difficult to excuse our old school mate, even on the stump, for his slander of the State and the law.

Last Week ibe officials at Washington were informed by telegfrtph that a fugitive was on board the bark Franklitl at or near Bath, in Maine. Immediately a dispatch was sent back, instructing the U. S. revenue cutter, Caleb Cusbtn'r, to secure the fugitive. j.

When President 'Taylor directed ft fWe1 nue cutter to arrest an expedition of Pillibusters, the Democratic papers were slacked at his audacity in using the tiaVy of the United States for such purpose, arid they wanted to know where lie preteftdtfd to find his authority for it. It is right that fugitive slaves should be arrested, but will it be pretended that the Government has any more right to use thf navy in attesting fugitive slaves than in arresting filibustering expeditions?

Grain Separator and IVionoiver,

The World is Challenged to produce its Equal!

THIS

machine recommends itself upon the first trial as being perfectly adapted to the cleaning of wheat and all other kinds of grain and grass seeds. As a winnowing niachine it is etq-nal to any other and, as a separator, its equal cannot be found. It in the only machine combining the donble operation of chaffing and separating, and will be found an indispensable article to the miller and farmer. To the farmer, because it is desirable that not only the grain from which his bread is made is rendered pure from all foreign substances and foul seeds, but that his seed grain and grass seed should also be freed from like substances. A good article of grain always commands a better price in market than that which is impure. This machine separates the grain or seed according to its specific gravity—and is unerring in this respect—the heaviest grain or seed ia' the purest of its kind and by passing the same through this machine, the cheat, shrunken, grown or smut grain or seed is removed, aud the perfectly pure of its kind is obtainod.

It will be found indispensable to the miller, because, in order to tnake the best quality of flour, he must have his gram pure and clean, which can be done to admiration by the use of this machine ho may dispense with his screen entirely, fur the machino screens the grain perfeclly,"casting out all stones and nans, and is self regulating.

The farmer's machine Works by hand the miller's by machiiierv, 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 be made of any desired capacity, to clear from 50 to (00 bushels wheat or other grain per hdut\

They are admirably adapted for cleaning grain, corn, Ac., in large elevators, where it is necessary to clean from one to five hundred bushels per hour.

Tllo mat?liiud sciBrf fifty3 for itself, both for farmer and miller, in separating all imparities, such as oats, chcssKspelt, grown wheat, smut balls, ami a thousand other impurities to be fotlnd in wheat,which is ntittr ground and rrtlSed with ottr bfead. and sdWed with the farmer's seed wheat. It is equally adapted to all kinds of grain, chaffing, Ac Ac.

For milling purposes it is very desirable, nnd especially tnose about to build, would do well to become acquainted with it, as it does away with tho rolling screen which very wasteful, and does not clean the ^rain. The mnin feature in the invention, besides its simplicity, is the separating all kinds of grain, with the impurities in parcels, according to the specific gravity of each. I,t has long been a question with the fafmet', whether chess grows from wheat, or wheat, from chess it can now be ascertained, and the inventor will give five dollars for every kernel of chess that can,be procured from wheat when cleaned by this machine, or will
