Eintncky Xtcraa.

The primary origin of the Temperance Society is wholly American. The first considerable movement was in the year A. D, 18 it, by the Cenetal Association; of Massachusctto in connectiottwith the Presbyterian Church, and the General Association of Connecticut in* devising ways and means by which the great evils existing from the use of anient spirits might be remedied, and greater'threal* entng evils provided against. This was the morning daWnlo our beloved country to save jour nation from disgrace, ana her sons from I ruin. On the fifteenth of February, A. D. ; 1313, the Massachusetts Society was formed tfor the suppression of intemperance; the 'pledge of this Society was not strictly total '.abstinence, but allowed the moderate use of intoxicating liquors. But the entering wedge was driven—king alcohol’s dominion in time must break in twain and fat) to the ground. 1 Dr. Kush had wrole on intemperance in ISO|, showing its great evil, fn the essays of Rev. II. Humphrey, in 1813, the doctrine was insisted on that ardent spirits was unnecessary in entertainments on public occasions; the ball began to roll on with some speed. Judge 11 nrlelI published his expose in ISl9, ami in 1325 Dr. Edwards wrote the tract entitled—“the well conducted farm, without the use of ardent spirits.” About the same lime the Massachusetts Society took the ground of total abstinence: the cause was prevailing, individuals became deeply interested all over the land; intemperance must be suppressed, or our country ruined.

The old line Whigs and Democrats of| the Tenth Concessional District, met at Covington on Thursday last, and nominated Henry 0* Harris, of Kenton ;cb., as their candidate for Congress. 0.' P.; Hogan, of Grant; Mr. Kclseyi of Owen; J. DcConrcy, of Campbell; and Jv W. ‘ Leathers, of Kenton, were also candidates before the Convention. On the fourth' ballot Harris was nominated' Samnel; F. Swope, of ‘Pendleton county, ia the i i American candidate. ■ At the old lino Convention ol Carroll county, held at Carrollton, on Monday last, Benjamin Gullion *vas nominated ns their candidate for the Legislature. Mr. Wilson is the American candidate. Samuel Howard, of Carroll, is the American candidate fot State Senator in the district compost'd of the conntics of Boone, Gallatin ahd Carroll. The old liners meet at Warsaw on next Saturday to nominate a man to be badly beaten by Mr. Howard.. Messrs. John W- Menzies and A; H.

John Ellis and Hubert Richardson are the opposition candidates. , • The anti* American Convention which met at Bardstown on Monday the 28lh ult., nominated J. H. Jewett, of Hardin, as the candidate for Congress in the 5lh district, in opposition to C. G. Wintersmith, the American candidate. We learn that James Corbin, Esq., has been selected ns the American candidate for the House of Representatives, in Boone county. The selection is considered an excellent one. Willis. B. Machen, late Democratic Senator from Caldwell Co., is the American candidate for Congress m the first district. H. C. Burnett is the anti-Amer-ican candidate. ' Madieu’s election is confidentially predicted. - James 0. Harrison is the anti-Ameri-can candidate for Congress in the Fayette District. •. John P. Campbell, Jr„ of Ohio county, is the American candidate for Congress in the second district. Hon. John M. Hewitt, is the American candidate for the lower house of the Legislature in Franklin county.

, Such is the, heading of; a telegraphic notice Washington Which affirms that Mn Wise was hissed and groaned at when ho made his itnpcrtihcni speech last Saturday night in the flush of his Reported victory, Why ah insult? What can be regarded as an insult to snch a base slanderer? Were wo a Virginian we would feel degraded when we read his scurrilous speeches, in which the members of the American party were characterized as “Chtistlcss, Godless, andlousy." And t what is there itTtho character of Ilcury ; A. Wise to cntille.it to respect? A double Judas and an Arnold—betraying ever)* party to which be was ever attached; a bully and a murderer with pistol in hand, to overawe witnesses before' a Congressional committee, or with his Angers dripping in the blood and gore of las duelling victims; a man false to friends, false to professions, false to principles, and false to his country. Repudiated by his own district; opposed, by his own kinsman, the chivalric Judge Baylyi scorned liy his old nccociattfl. aud , used by his new ones— Wo question if there is a man on this American continent, Santa Anna excepted who is so completely bdtihrtipt in .every quality which should characterize a Governor of A year ago, who, would have expected to see him emerge from the mire" of his obscurity? But the Richmond junto felt that its power Was trembling on the verge of.dissolution; it wanted a bold ami utiscrupolous candidate to do tho dirty work of detraction which no decent democrat could bo found to do, and Mr. Wise was " selected; in the same spirit that Mark Antony made Lepidus one of the triumvirate: “Anil though wo lav thuo honor* on thl* man,'' To cas« ounoire* of diren flatiilerouiloatli, - ’ He that) toil bear them u Ui» a»« bear?

'Vital would ho the thoughts of j Fulton, couhl he see this noble steamer ‘walk the waters like a thing of lite!’* lie was Justly pnaid of the little boat which was first impelled by steam, agoinst wind.and tide. As ii puffed away from the wharf at New York and ascended the Hudson at the rate of four miles per hour, his heart beat wilh a nobler pride than ever swelled the bosom of any nat.iI hero on board his battle ship. But the Clermont, with her clumsy machinery, awkward paddles and slow' motion would seem to him os much, inferior to Hie Strader, which now rushes down (he Ohio fifteen miles per hour, as its yawl was inferior to his favorite steamer. The name wf Fulton is honored in every land where steam has in any degrec become a substitute Ter the sail or the oat; but if the Clermont was in existence, it • would only be an object of antiquarian interest, and not at . all of practical use. It would he handed over to the lovers .of curtosUy rather than to the lovers of money.’ But flic Strader has landed us in Louisville. 1 have glanced at the most of the city and am now prepared to say that it falls below' ray expectation!!, b'olh as to its prosperity and its It used to he said that a load of Sabbath: bad been shipped South, but slranden on.the falls; and hence there was no.Sabbath below (here., ;Therc' is none here. 1 have not been In any place where it is less . regarded.

I did not sec a single carriage on the street, not any other vehicle, unless it seemed to be on the way to or from some place of worship." The sidewalks were not thronged as.oh other days, and the citizens seemed to be visitors of the sanctuary rather than Imfagcrs in the parks, slayers at home rather than traders in tOeir shops. Not so . here. The wharf, the streets and the shops attest that multitudes are constantly violating the. fourth commandment.. The clatter of omnibuses, the laughing, Jostling crowd upon the sidewalks, and the open doors of wholesale and retail stores of various kinds, show that vory many fail to observe the Sabbath as a day of sacred rest

In the middle of thocono tcW craters have been formed, and from these* the lava pours forth like a river, and runs on the siao of the Cavello as fai; os the Minatore, Here four other craters have been formed, which’ throw up bitumen in the manner of pyramids, and resembling gigantic .exhibitions of fireworks. The whole of the summit of the stater is therefore like a sponge, and must inevitably fall in. The thin crust trembles under your feet., .Y;m may see the .stones dance with tho tremulous movement ;'thc part immediately round tne crater looks like the sides of a heated copper boiler.- 8uch is a true statement of what , in going on on tho summit. • '• / -

At length, n general meeting of various religious denominations convened at Boston, January 10, JSOti; the meeting adjourned to the 13th of February, IS2(i, when the American Tempera nee Society was formed. In 1827 Medical Societies came forward, in resolutions, seconding the cause. In IS2C, the first Temperance paper was published in Boston, by Bev. William Collier; its motto was—“moderate drinking the road to drunkenness.’ ‘ T. ii. s.

We had hoped to liavc crossed it, and ascended to the cascade again, hut it was no longer possible; for, as one says speaking of a marshy country in the winter, the lava was out. .The fire Imre had begun to enter the burial ground of the little town, :hut was d iverted from its course by a wall. On the oposile side of the stream were the king and all the royal family. ..The banks on cither side were thronged with curious and anxious multitudes, whoso faces ; were lighted op with-tho blaze qf hundreds of torches, and with the more resplendent Home of the rapidly descending lava. Since tire morniug.it had moved a mile. It was like a vast river of moving coke. As it moved on, the tens of‘ thousands of lumps rolled and tumbled one over the other, crackling,* and grinding, and grating and when, from the, very face of:it, a large lump fell off, the appearance waslhat of an iron furnace when the irdnris being drawn. To make the reaimblnnrt more complc, at such times men darted forward with long poles, taken fromttho neighboring vineyards, and pulled ont great masses of lava* in whidi they embedded money for sale. What struck me at first, and still strikes mo.aa the most majestic fealnro in • the. whole scene, is the slow, silent, irresistible 'motion of, that fiery flood.':: Active -almighty power; .without an effort! .'-Swoping everything before it, overcoming.' every . obsLacle, growing up egainst intenrehing walls or honses, and devouring them bodily, and then marching onin the same silent, unrelenting, irresistible manner as before, y

Prohibitory Liquor Law*

Below wilt be found a Circular and a Proclamation from Gov. Wright, in regard to tire Prohibitory law. It will he seen that the Govcmdr is determined to sec the law enforced. The passage of the law, in a great measure, dependedupon the exertions of Gov, Wright and Licnt. Gov. Willard. If the law is a good law, they deserve praise; if it is a had law, they will havo to stand the blame. Mr. Willard appointed a strong prohibitory law committee to draw np the bit),'and'Mr. .Wright approved the same after its passage:

The Result in Virgin In.

The Richmond Whig oi the 28th May, discourses as follows about the result in “Old Virginny.” Though the returns of. the election arc not yet all in, enough is known to jnstify the belief that the Wise, party have succeeded by a majority ranging from 5,000 to 8,000. An nnusually largo vole has been cast; and it will probably turn ont that the Know Nothing strength was fnlly equal to what ivas claimed for thoni. Though defeated, they made a gallant and determined fight, and we express the hope that not a man in their ranks will suffer himself to he discouraged by the result. The canse is as dear now as ever, and even far more dear, and there is really no occasion for dependency. But let your forces bo re-organized, and -let all begin preparations at once for th.c great contest of the coming year. Let it bo begun with energy, and carried on with energy, and the good old State will yet be redeemed from the hands of the spoilers. For this we must fight onfight ever.

There is, os many of you are aware, at this time a desperate aUempl being made by sorat nf the broken down party backs of the old democratic;patty, to stir tip a spirit of discord and haired in’the minds of of the people—especially in Ibis vicinity.. Certain men, who have been always seeking for ofiicc, and having been defeated in their designs, arc nowtrying to stir up this feeling among the people with the hope (hereby lo get into office, knowing as they do that they can never come before the people upon their own merits, it is truly amusing to tee how a few of these political genuises ore whimpering and whining so pitcouslyand crying out eternally, “Persecution —persecutionL" But not being content with this grumbling, they to further their ends, slander private ami peaceful citizens, aad descend so fow as to be guilty of. telling base falsehoods in regard to those who will no longer be coiitroled by them. Their principal i$d great hobby* however, is persecution anti proscription. 4 Now I.ask, is it persecution to detect a man in bis wrong-doing? Answer at the ballotbox. Let us examine this matter a little farther, and I think we then may be able to say, “Outof thy own mouth will I condemn thee." A short time since one of these preacherhating, Catholic-loving Old Liners, in a’communication in their “pet, 1 ’ said: “Some of “them (meaning*Know Nothings) are every “day imposing themselves upon the unsuspecting democracy. Some of these hypaerit“fcaf scamps ate doing this to secure vm* fa“vaoxiCE of and are looked upon “as high-minded honorable wbiga, who would “scorn lo act the hypocrite.” He says they want the patronage of democrats. Well, now I ask would they get that patronage were they to advocate the doctrines of the American party? I answer no; and as proof I will give you an incident which took place a short time before a recent election, which wilt show who ore the ones that persecute and proscribe for their political belief. One of these men who preach up “Democracy,” and who is crying out “persecution,” went to one of our mechanics and told him that "if be did '’not vole and act with the Democratic party, “he would not get a certain job of work which “be bad in view.”

Distressing Suicide.

j The Lafayette American has tho following: I We are indebted to Ex-Mayor O'Brijeti, just returned from Logansport, fortbo following particulars: On Friday evening last, about dusk, Spencer Davis, a yonng man about twenty five years old, nephew of tho late General Tipton, blew his brains out with a pistol, loaded with seven buckshot. He was a printer, and worked in the oflice of and had been for sometime past been addicted to hard drinking. Ho had been endeavoring to pay his addresses to a young lady named Baldwin, who resides on the island in the Wabash, by whom his suit was rejected. On Friday evening ho went to ; the gate of the house and called to the. young lady, saying ho wished to hid her good-bye, as ho was going away. Upon coming out she perceived a pistol in his hand, .which he was attempting to conceal behind him. She immediately, ran into"tho house in great, alarm, fastened tho door, and sent a boy through the hack Window for her father, who soon arrived, and found Davis sitting on tho porch. hd entered the gate, Davis rose up, arid,Mr. Baldwin perceiving a pistol in his hand, which he was in tho act of raising, said to him, "Davis, don't hurt me." Davis replied, 'no, Baldwin, I would'nt harm a hair of your head, 1 and immediately discharged the pistol into his right temple. Htf felt, bleeding copiously, with* a horrid wound in his head, out of which tho brains immediately oozed, but, nevertheless, he lived for several hours.
