TEUKE II A UTE, IXD. m WEDNESDAY.. ..NOVEMBER 21, I860 Mr. Douglas letter. Oa the 12th inst., just six daji after the Presidential electioo. Judge Douglas was invited by a large Dumber of gentlemen, to address them in the city of Hew Orleans. He did Dot delirer an address, bat be wrote a letter, which io the main is very good, bat which in ooe particular is exceeding contemptible. He takes decided grounds against secession, and sajs that the election of Lincoln is do cause whatever for such an event. We do tot propose to review-tbe letter however at this time, but io one particular. Io speaking of Mr. Lie col a he says: "In a minority io both boosas of Con press; with the Supreme Court to expound the laws and restrain all illegal and un constitutional acts, the President will be Utterly powerless for evil, if be should bate the disposition to do wrong Even in tin distribution of his patronage, he he would be depecdent upon the Senate for the couferrxa-ioa of bis nominees to office, ao tha be cannot appoint a bad man to office without the consent of those in whom the South confides. A partisan President, than tied hand and foot, powerless for good or evil, without the consent and support of his political opponents, should be the object of pity and commiseration .rather thao of fear and apprehension, by a brave and chivalrous people. What good or karwi can he do to anybody, exeep to humble the pride end wound the sensibilities of a large portion, of the American people 6y occupying the chair once Jiiled by WesAiayto, itfferton, Madison and iaclton? Does this fact fur nisb sufficioDt cause for destroying the best government of which the history of the world gives an example? Four years will soon pass away, when the ballot-box will furnish a peaceful, leagal and constitutional remedy for all the evils aod grievances with which the coantiy may be afflicted." I We italicise the period to which we wish to invite the attention of the reader. " What good or harm can Mr. Liocolo do," says Mr. Douglas, " except to humble the pride and wound the sensibilities of a large por tion of the American people, by occupying the chair once filled by Washington, Jeffersoo, Madison and Jackson." Is it possible a United States Senator an aspirant to the first office in the gift of a nation of freemen, jcould be so mean, so lost to every feeling that characterizes true manhood and a gentleman, as to make luch a fling a hi most distinguished sod successful rival. Smiting as Mr. Douglas certainly was, under the most dis graceful defeat, that has ever overtaken an ambitious partisan erushed to the very earth by the willing content of a majority of the American people, still, with all these unpleasant surroundiogs, he should sot have forgotten the courtesy he owed to his successful rival a rival too, who has shown bsmself superior to Mr. Douglas in every thicj which constitutes genuine manhood bis superior in intellect his uperior in morals his superior in all the wslks of life, and his superior in the affiction of his countrymen. How is it then, that the elevation of Mr. Lincoln to the eat once occupied by Washington, Jeffer son, Madison aod Jackson, "humbles the pride and wounds the sensibilities of a large portion of the American people?" If this is the case, how crushing to the pride and sensibilities of the American people, would bavo eo the elevation of Stepen A. Douglas to that seat. D3 not the world say that in the contest of 1853, io Illiaois, Mr. Lincoln triumphed over Mr. Douglas ? Dee not the world sty that while Mr. Lincoln is a moral, upright man, t. T..,Um lam liliniTfll HilhanfW? Docs net very one know that while Mr. LiDCOln'8 morals are ?f the strictest character, those of Mr. Douglss are q'ionabM Does not the world recognize ooe as an honest man and the other as a charlatan? the one disdaining to toop to any thing unworthy of his exsulted nature, the other groveling in his appetites groveling in hie habits, and groveling in his instincts. The ooe as much superior to the other as is his nitnly phisical development six foot four inches, to the pigioy wLone cost tail almost touches tie ground. Did Mr. Douglas mean that the pride and sensibilities of a large portiou of the American people would be wounded, because Mr. Lincoln had sprung from the masses, to the first position in the world ? If be did, the epstart aristocrats fluokyism, is otly equaled by his consummate demagougeiam. Mr. Lincoln is to day the most glorious embodiment th most perfect representative of the working millions of this free and equal government, who has yet starteJ for the Presidential chair ; and while be 6tauds this moment the peer of any other roan upon whom tha bright sunlight falls, he atill feelr himself but a peer, and judge all men by their individual merit. No more worthy roan since the diys of Washington ever occupied the Presidential chair. None more honest, more capable, suore upright. Then why hould Mr. Douglas he who has been discarded by his own party by the very town in which he was born by the city where he resides by the State which be represents in the National Seiet by evory northern S'ate, and all South save perbaps one why should he thus speak of Mr. Lincoln, lie whose debauchees hav no- on! distroyed himself iu the prime of life, but has rupted the yojih of the eountry--who is a bankruj.'! in morals as well as in means, and wlu Jim jut teen rejected by the Am-ricvi public, in a manner so signal, so overwhelming and o cruihing,thst it is th es eense of Superlativ audacity, for him ever again to be seen outsi.le of the political grave in which. 1 now lying. TU pride of the " Little GUnt," we have no doubt ia homblej, his eensibilities are woundd at the elciioi f Mr. Lincoln, ha, bile this mty b true, the great majority of ths American people are delighted at the elevation of an honest man to the Presidency, and tlckelei into raptares at the humiliation and defeat of Stephen Arno'd Douglas. .n - - - O The President has sobcibed $100 for the relief of the sufferers in Ksna, and promises to appeal U Congress in their behalf.

A Y-'UJ,-..tl,e "'PnHlean Members or the ntxi legislature. One important duty incumbent on the Legislature this winter, will be to determine precisely tbe States iudeblness. From all the information we can gather from reports of State officers aod otherwise, this is somewhat a difficult matter. How much does Indiana owe, is a questiou to which we direct the special attention of the Republican members of our Legislatare. To determine this, a thorough and complete examination of the Agents of States office and books in the city of New York, is independable necessary. .This office has been ftlhe hands of the Democratic partv almost since it was established under the Butler bill, and it has been used mainly to enrich the incumbent, or asssUt otne banking institution of this or some other State. Th3 real and direct interest of the State has in many respects been overlooked, and we nndertand that it is now exceedingly difficult to till what is the con . dition of our affairs, so far as this agency is concerned. We hope the Legislature will devise some means by which the figurea io this office will be acmrately added, and its exact condition ascertained. Before it ever goes i-.to the hands of the Re publican party, this thorough exacuintion should be made. And we hope the offices of Auditor, Secretary aod Treasurer of State, will undergo this careful and rigid examination. Let the people know, to

a farthing, what is the financial condition of Indiana whe n its management passes into the bands of the Republican party. Let the books be made up, the balance hheet exhibited, and every thing tquared. As a data to commence work on, we ask the members of the Legislature to enquire, why it is, that the interest on our public debt io 1847, was $178,600 that iu 1843, it was $l83,740-in 1849, $183,34 1, aod that it increased rapidly up to 1654, when the interest on our public debt was $299,25558 in 1855, it was $306,569 14 in 1856, it was $310,674 34, aod in 1857, it reached the sum of $318,027 77 cents what it will be in 1SG0 it is somewhat difficult to guess We ask the Legislature to enquire into this matter. How is it that the interest which we an nually pay od our public debt, has increas ed so rapidly ? The constitution express ly declars that the State debt shall not be increased except in cases of war. There haa been no war in which Indiana has been engaged that we know of, except a political war cpon the class of men who have brought these very things about. Here, however, are a few nuts for the coming Lepisl store to crack, and we hope it will do it effectually. Fcr the Express. Ma. Hunsos : In Saturday's issue of the Journal is lb valedictory of Mayor Pat tersoo on his retiring from the office of Mayor, and His Honor must have been in that blissful täte which produces a par tial aberration of mind in which he neither knew nor cart d what he said, (some folks are subject to such spells.) or he atanda before this people guilty of issuing a tis sue of falsehoods which no person, occu pying high official position should stoop to eten for partixan purpotte, which are in tended to mit lead those who are sot post d in the matters referred to. His Ex-Honor said that in January, 1S53, the Common Schools of this city were orgaoixed, and that A. Kinney, Jas Hook, Moset. Soule. V. J. Burnett, and Jos. Cooper, were the first Trustees elected, none of which were Democrats; and that the Board of Trustees of the sane politi cal complexion, were continued until July 1659, anddd nothing but deal out con tracts to favorite and spend the tuition funJ set a part for educatiog the children in building up a huge ungainly Schoo House at a cot of $10,000, which can be durlicated for $7,000; and if his advice ha I been taken, that could have been doue ? Now for tbe truth of His HoBor'l State ments. He ssys the School Board Cr et elected, did nothing but deal out contracts to favorite, and build ungainly 6ch'f bousca, tc. Now, Mr. Ex-Mayor, does not the roantl? of shame tinge your cheek, when you reflect that Ju have held the position you have for about four yr with the opportunity of informing youraelf in relation to what whs done? To make such a statement officially, is exhibiting either your ignorance of the affairs of the city, or a groHS and willful misrepresentation of the facts. Take either side of the case you ph-ase. But the facts: In 1853, the School Board elect i nt to work to inaugurate and pot in operstion a system of Free Schools, with a list of scholars between the legs! ages under the law, of 1,700 andl,800,to provided for. There wss not a public school toaxe mithin the city, exceptthe brick houte in North Torre Haute, and its capacity from 100 to 120 scholars. That Board met day fter day, and night after nigh-., devii-ing the ways and means of putting the ßchools in operation. Among their first official acts was to buy the County Seminary and fit it up for school.; and by renting tbe basement of churches, and all the pieces that would snwer fV schools. In September of 1853. they opened the first Free Schools in our city with 800 scnolars stored into those places uamed above, as the best that could br done. To continue the schools and provide more suitable places for them, the Trustees levied a tax which was struck down by the courts s umeonttiturtonml. The school Was Continued until the Supreme Court gave tt.ero their quietus. Tri nxt thing the School Board did, was to build tbe School .House on 8 ulli 3d Street, which was done in 1855... The friends of Free Schools were managing the funds, tl at they might be able Id . build a sufficient, number of bouses, that a system of schools mi,'Ltbe opened that would accotnroodite all wl o might want to attend. In 1857 lhe School Board projected the J.ouse on 4th street, which His Kx Honor dislike to much. Well, the plan was adopted by the Trustees, and by the Trustees suliuitted to the Common Council, ovr which Hin Kx-Uocor was presiding at tbe time, and asked iheiu Io c;icur iu the plan, a-id aid iu catrjlrg iu-.o effect O e action of thebui'ding. TWCunril did j-o cone Jr His Ex ilonor nreoioromding the pedy letting of the wo-k. a 5 iL.,,. The Trut-es advertU'd fr bids and let the work, the bids ranging fro VJ.000 (what it wss let at) to $13.00. now hi. Exilonor ssys it could be duplicated for $7,000. tut it il f'Ol t w oüdervd si, that the Ex- Major should feel a little bad about that m titer, for, after the contract aod a part of the material on the ground a chan.ecame over the pirit or his dreams, aome outside influence had bfft at work at his boner aod he came to the Council with a message urging them to cause tbe school board to violate theiroaths and amend the contract, or that the Council should turn out said school boafd, an J put in such tools as would do their bidding, (see his message upon that matter, spring of 185",) but the house was built, notwith

standing he put every obstacle in tbe way !

thst lay in his power, and he has the un blushing impudence to sy that if his adice bad been followed, we would have had the schools opened to our children, three years ago. Pray where would you have opened them, in the streets, in the throughfairs, and without the means to carry them on when opened. Süch twaddle is disgusting to every man who is acquainted with the school affairs of the city.' lie boasts (hst in July 1659, the Council turn ed out all the old board who were acquaiu ted with all the Echool matters, and elected a partizsn board who knew nothing about the matter entrusted to them, and he no- says they have established on a firm basis free schools, with 953 children in school, with money ei.oagh to keep the schools opeo during the winter, (that's a Vry firm basis.) Now Ex Mayor you did not tell the people in that high toned address that the Common Council without authority of law, grabbed the school fund, placed it in the hands of the city of ncial,tne Council ustag the fuud, depleing the Treasury robbing the children of the city of lhe per cent , for receiving and dis bursing when you had no more right U tonch it than had the Directors of the Bank of the Slate. This is jour love for the free schools, use the funds for the beoe fit of partisans and turn out of office, men who had tbe nerve to resist the wrong and maintain the right. He claims the credit of lighting the city with Gas, now that i about as truthful as the school matters, the centract with the Gas company was made in 1655 and tbe gas works about completed before his tx-honor was elected and be had but to carry out what was already arranged so much for that. The Firo De partment waa organized in April 1855, (see Ordinances page 42 one year before be was elected.) try again Mr. Mayor. He further misrepresents by saying that the taxes havu been legally assessed so that the Treasurer baa been enabled to collect by law. Now the facts are directly the oppo site. The tax law in 1856 did not pre tend to enforce collection, but begged out of the people what they could and let the balance elide. If be willshow one single instance where a tax was collected where the collection was resisted legally we will give him cred it for grading of streets and making other improvements, f He does not state how they have bled the people with taxes to do those things, he does not tell them that as soon as ho aod his party came into power how they doubled the eity expenses in the way of salaries, tc, all those things he can ful ly avoid, but exulting tells us that we will have on the first of January $10,000 and not owe one cent, who did he expect would believe such a statement as that, certainly no person at all acquainted with city af fairs, why sir, where is the amount that th city owes for the new engines, the amount owing to the grave yard fund that you have been Ubing without interest, the amount you owe the school fund, such statement is unworthj a bragjadocio pot house politician let alone the should be dignified bead of a city of 10,000 inhabi tints. More anon from an EX COUNCILMAN. Sklkct Scnooi.. We confess our negli gence of Mrs. Moore's select school, taught in Burton's block, corner of 5th and Cherry streets. The first term of 10 weeks terminates oc Friday. The examination of the pupil commeoce tbis afltrnoon, and continues dcring the week ending on Friday. We visited this school jesterdsy, sad was much pleased with the admirable order that prevailed, and the intelligence aud apparent proficiency aauifested by th3 pupils. Mrs. Noore is pre-eminent io her profesAiou, understanding to an extraordinary degree the art of imparting instruc tion, as well as the art of governing. Miss Zerbee, ayeung lady of very snperior ic complishmeuts, presides over th musical department, a most acceptable manner. She touches the keys of the Piano with the moKt grace ful and exqniiite hktll ehci ting the most charming sounds We reg re l much that the late political exciicim-nt hac deprived us of the pleasure, cf having heard her muxie more frequt iilly It hall be different io the future. In the weao while we call the attention of the parents and others to the examination which commences t day, and commMit those desiring to educate their children in either in a Complete English and refined education, or in music to examine the facilities offered by Mrs. Moore's select school. The second term commences next llonJay. O" Uov. Houston recently made a peech at Independence, Texas, in which he attributed the late insurrection panic to tie false accounts circulated by one Pryor Ol Dallas, a brother of lhe Virginia I'ryor. Goverr-or Hoil-ton denied the stories and iocendiary fire, and si2 thst the panic had greatly injured the Sta'e.dpreciating properly and preventing immigration, and that a gentleman just in from Northern Texas bad told hiui be had met at least 200 wagons, with five persons to cch wagon, going out oi the State to Kansas and Arkansas, Mmply because propesty and life had been mad" insecure by the panic makers Mr. Uoustou also said: " However much'he might regret the election of Lincoln, still, if constitutionally elected, he ought to and should be, inaugurated. Yes I they .would, have to walk over his dead bo'ly if he f not." Tua Pi'suandlk Dewier The Wheeling Intelligencer of the 13 gives the entire vote of the four north western counties cf Virginia, which constitute the " Panhandle "of the "old Dominion." The large vole given for Linolo, is a most cheering sign of the future growth of enlightened views in Virginia and the South generally.

Fcnonism in Mexico. A correspondent of tbe Toronto

Leader, writing from Mexico, gives an nteresting account of the system of 'peonism," or slavery, in force in that country. He layß: It is generally believed out of Mex ico that when Mexico achieved her in dependence she became a free country, and that slavery was abolished. This was not the case. The only change tnat wa3 made being, that no one could be forcibly taken as a slave unless he owned a sum which he either could. not or would not pay. In such cases the debtor could be taken bv the cred itor, and made to labor for him for an allowance of food scarcely sufficient to maintain existence, and for a cer tain amount of wages, less actually than was required to pay church dues. The poor creature was not criven any clothes nor allowed anv pittance to buy tobacco or other (considered) necessities. So he for she ) soon had to borrow more, till at last the party had 60 irretrievably sold himself that he remained a slave for life. If he should bo taken sick, the doctor's bill, with extortionate interest, is added to his blood money the medical man if he be a Mexican, often readily singing a receipt for several times the amount he has received. A free man requiring a temporary advance, and having no other property, is oblicred to pawn either himself or some of his children, to raise the required amount The peor child thus pawned is necessitated to add to hia liabilities in order to furnish himself with clothes, and seldom does one thus disposed of by his pa rent Decomesa tree agent again. Instances occur every day where men wishing to marry, but not having the 25 to pay the poor clergy, have to seek a parly willing to take them in pawn for that amout, which soon swells to a greater, and cases are by no means rare where childrea. have tobe pawned, and so made eternal 6laves, to pay the Church for perform ing the general rites over a dead parent! As gambling ia lawful here, should a party loose more thaa he can pay at the gaming table, or at a cock bp ht, he is taken before the Alcalde and pawned to whoever will advance the funds. A wife can pawn herself, and thus leave her home and become the property of another. Such is the liberty in free, independent and Chrstain Mexico. The peon is sold by the law, his parent or bv himself: should he not like his employer, he can change him, if he can find any party to take the required amount on his head: But sometimes this is a difficult matter. as owners of peons do not like thus to encourage insubordination among each other's slaves. The children may be pawned to as many different parties as there are children. The Church has seta high price upon every rite 80 for christening a peon'i child, 925 for marrying it, and $7 for burying it The Raleigh, N. C.

THE SECESSION MOVEMENT. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

Millkogstillk, Oa., Nov. 18. Affairs are much quieter since Wednesday night. Mr Stephens made a great speech, talcing strong conservative grounds. Tbe effect subsequently shews that it proves as oil en the troubled waters, aadthepeoplj are now disposed to act coolly and considerately. To day the Convention bill passed the Senate unanimously. The election of delegates plsce oa tbe 2d ef January, and the Convention meets on Wednesday following. The preamble of the Convention bill reads as follows: Whereas, Tbe present crisis in national affairs, io the judgment of the General As sembly, demands resistance and whereas, t is the privilige of the people to deter mine the mode aad time of such resistance; therefore, the General Assembly evokes tbe Governor to issue his proclamation, order iog the election, on the 9ih o Jaouary. The 1st, 2d, and 3d sections of the bill refer to the time or election; the meeting of the Convention and the number of dele gates to which each is entitled. The 4th eclion rreads, that aaid Conveution, when auembled, rotj consider all grievances impairing or affecting the equality or rights of the people of Georgia as members ef the United States, and de termioe the mode of redress. The 5th section provides for the amount to pay the delegates, and said Convention shall, by vote, Ix tbe pay of all their offi cers aud any delegate or delegates they may appoint to any Convention, Congress, or Embassy, to provide for all other expen ses incurred by the Convention, and gives the power to elect the officers and do all things necessary to carry oat the true intentent and meaning of ibis act and purpose of this Convention. Mobili, Ala., Nov. 17. The Register is desireus for secession. It says tbe large sectional vote North and South proves a common government impossible, and all efforts to save tbe Union fruitless.

They say tbe politicians, lastead of allaying the excitement, have stir red it up; instead of repressing National distraction and dislike, they have promo ted it; instead of rumoring causes of dispute, they have created tbena for the sake of power and office io both sections. The bavo paudered to tbe passions and prejudices of the people at home, keeping each section ignorant of tbe patriotic and conservative feelings of tbe other, until exasperated by the iocendiary and disor ganizing representations of hungry officeseekers, both sections of tbe Union find themselves engaged in a fierce controversy which they bad no band in bringing about. A large meeting held in Uaoeook coun ty, on Saturday, adopted uoaoimously from conservative resolutions declaring that tha election of Liucoln was the cause tor dissolution, but the unfriendly legislation of many of the free States ; an out rage on the community of tbe Union demaadiog rcsutaiice.
