Word appears to have been sent abroad among the Öld Line hackä of this State, to change their policy at once and with a tig jump, on the Slavery Extension question It may probably astonish the Democracy of our neighboring State across the river, to learn that right here in this neck of the woods some little leaders among their brethren, are boldly taking a free-soil position, and endeavoring to prove that the Democratic party has always been the party of freedom, and that the results of its aim. and tendency, will bo to ut terly prevent, any further slave territory to prevent any more, slave States coming into the Union. Indexed, an Old Line paper before us, claims that not only have the principles advocated by the Democratic party prevented slavery from becoming an institution among many States ;,Tn the Union, but they will eventually drive' slavery out of " Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and other States." The same paper says Democracy stands now precisely where it did in 1852 on this slavery extension question. What does the Southern Democracy say. to this ? What do those rabid Old Liners here say to it those gentlemen who are so fond of calling all who maintain the Democratic doctrine of a few years ago on the slarery extension question, Abolitionists f Is it not a little singular, that all the papers in this State especially, opposed to Old Line ism, should have taken so much pains to publish the platforms of the Old Line party of a few years ago, and to re publish the written opinions of the leaders of that party in this State, to prove the Old Liners were then opposed to slavery extension, and to another slave State coming into the Union, and charging upon them the grossest inconsistency in view of their past and present positions when all the time the immutable Democracy are just as decided slavery extensionists as they were in 1850? What is still more singular, the Old Line press and speakers of the State-, instead of disputing ihe charge of being slavery extensionists now, labored assiduously to weaken the strength of the evidence, that they were against slavery extension a few years ago. Why, when the letters of the leaders of the Old Lme party in 18 19 50, these gentlemen aspiring to the position of U. S. Senators, and to obtain the vote of their party in the Legislature, writing themselves down opposed to any further extension of slavery when these letters were re-published a few months ago, the State Sentinel endeavored to screen the writers from tho charge that these written opinions established the fact of their being opposed to the extension of slavery, by saying they were not expressing their real opinions, but merely endeavoring to court up a few abolition votes in the Legislature ! ! It was willing that these leaders should be regarded rather as corrupt knaves and demagogues, and in fact genuine political scoundrels, than that their real opinions and the principles of the party they represented, should be placed in. an attitude of opposition to the extension of slavery. Now, we find an Old Line paper in this city arguing and declaring that the Democratic party sustains the same position on this question it did a few years ago ! We expect to see it soon publishing these identical letters, and making extracts from the Democratic platform of 1819, to illustrate precisely the position of tho Democratic party in 1856 ! We beg leave to assure all Old Liners interested, that if they wish- to maintain the principles as laid down by their party in 181950, on the question of slavery extension, they will have to refuse their support to the present nominee of their party, ami go right over to that party w hom they call Abolitionists for maintaining such opinions. Buchanan and his party have endorsed the Pierce Administration and all its acts. This Administration has labored to extend slavery. It has even opened territory to slavery, which a solemn compact between the North and South declared should forever be. free territory. Tho very acts of this Administration, placing it in the position of a friend to slavery extension, and actually laboring to extend slavery in free territory, wero tho real cause of tho origin of the Republican party. If this Republican party DC successful, upon the heads of tho Pierce Administration, and those who are now endorsing it, rest the responsibility of the National curse of a sectional party in power. But he who supports the Pierce Administration is for slavery extension let that be remembered or if ho' .is not, he is endorsing a policy of which slavery extension must bo the fruit. This last dodge of tho Old Liners exhibits tho fact, that they are getting badly scared. But they are in a. comparatively happy condi

tion now to what they will be in a few weeks. Their political knees will tremble more than they do now, and their hair will stand so straight and stiff on end that they won't be able to wear hats. Their dodging and twisting and wriggling will not help them. The people have doomed them. Thankful for Small Favors. The editor of the Enquirer gives an extract from a letter from our worthy Representative in Congress, stating that he, with Mr. Burnet, Representative from Lynn Boyd's District, had succeeded in getting a tri-weekly river mail from Evansville to Cairo, to go into operation as soon as the contractor can complete his arrangements. The editor congratulates the business men of this city, on getting a regular tri-weekly Southern mail an idea in good keeping with the transportation of the great Eastern mail through Indiana by wagons along

side of a Railroad. So far as a Southern mail is concerned, it can be of no advantage to this city, for if the Post Office arrangements were right, we should get our Southern mail by Railroad in half the time it usually takes a boat, especially in this low water. As a local mail it may be of some advantage, but Mr. Miller seems to forget he has constituents above as well as below Evansville, nearly destitute of mail facilities. Why did he not add a tri-weekly mail from Louisville, for it could have gone into operation at once, as we have a packet line now in operation, (or have when the river is in an ordinary stage,) and have had for sometime, and it carries much mail matter from this to Louisville and East without compensation. Mr. Miller ought to have all the credit for every good thing he does for the people, as it is not much he has done, but as it is, Mr. Burnet is likely to get the credit of this as it extends all along the line of his district, and only extends a short distance on Mr. Miller's. But the most probable version is. that somebody had to have political pay and a good con tract was needed. But let us be thankful for small favors. The Stahbinir Affair. The detailed account which we published last Saturday of the stabbing of Mr. Stinson was read by him, and pronounced correct in every particular, with the exception of one statement, that he was held by Evans when stabbed. lie says, as we learn, thatmEvans , . .a . . . . was not noiaing mm ar, mis time, but nela him before, when Ross struck him in the face then, evidently thinking him stunned enough by this blow to be easily whipped by Ross, let him go, and drawing a pistol, threatened to shoot any one who interfered. We wish to state nothing but facta in this unfortunate af fair, and with the correction we have made, submit our account to the public as a statement which we are assured can be abundantly es tablished by witnesses. We have no desire, nor have we had any disposition, to create a prejudice against the officers of the law imDii cated further than a true statement of the whole facts might work to their injury and these are bad enough. There are circum stances connected with this affair yet to be re vealed. Ross is still at Carmi. The Sheriff of Posey county, accompanied by Mr. Mosley, of this city, and we believe two witnesses, went to Carmi, 111., after Ross. We understand the citizens of that place refused to eive him up We shall await the result of other action on the subject, before speaking further on this conduct of the citizens of Carmi. They certain ly will not refuse to deliver up to the law a man accused ot tho offence charged upon Ross, if the demand be made in an indisputably legal man ner, lie will have a fair trial, aud there is no danger whatsoever of interference on the Dart of citizens. There is comparatively little feel ing against Koss, the indignation of Mr. San son's friends being more directed towards those who it is believed, instigated him to his course of conduct. Let the citizens of Carmi nrove A themselves a law abiding people, by promptly placing Ross in the hands of those armed with the legal authority to arrest him. We have spoken of this unfortunate affair without fear or favor, and have not dealt in mere idle ru mors. The Joe II. Coxn. This light drauzht boat arrived here night before last from Louisville full of passengers. The Conn was aground for a day and night at Scuffletown bar in company with eleven other steamers. The Conn had a fine trip and is the boat to travel on, either in low or high water. The Captaint vm. Jüanib, j. W.Chambers and Chas. Car penter, Clerks, are all indefatigable in their exertions and amiable deportment to secure to passengers their largest pleasures and greatest comforts. The Ccnn left for St. Louis yesterday. She reports 24 inches water at Flint Island and 20 at Scuffletown. Princeton Courier. We have received the Prospectus of a new paper, the first No. of which is to be issued on the 15th of this month to be published at Princeton, Gibson county, by Messrs. Linegar & Vinson, lately of the Rockport Republican. It is tobe Republican in politics. We wish these gentle men pecuniary success, and political success so far as thoy advocate the State and Congression al ticket, but regret they are not going to raise the honest, national, American Fillmore flag. For Senator. We thought we had noticed, until reminded of the deficiency by a friend, the nomination of Mr. Wm. Stewart, as candidate for State Senator to represent the people of tho counties of Gibson, Pike and Dubois, in Legislature. His opponent is Mr. John Hargrove, of Gibson. Old Liner. Mr. Stewart is a man of fine abilities, and if elect ed will make an excellent Senator.

: 1 1 v uuu tut; lulltreuig las JVDLCluojr 9 Enquirer: A. Card. I shall reply to the editorial in Saturday's Journal to-morrow, my answer having been crowded out to-day. I ask the public to wait before they form an opinion. JAMES B. EVANS. The public formed its opinion as to Mr. Evans conduct in the affair resulting in the stabbing of Stinson. without waiting for or in any manner being influenced by "the editorial in Saturday's Journal." That opinion places him in the attitude of a criminal. He will therefore please bear in mind, that any statement he may make in his card, merely his own, unsupported by reliable evidence, will be taken as that of a criminal or accused party, and must therefore be of but little effect. His defence will more than likely have to be made before a court of justice. We have confined our remarks to a statement of facts, which will at the proper time be legally substantiated. Since the above was placed in type, Mr. Evans has handed us the card we publish today over his name. His remarks as to the character or course of the editor of this paper are entirely gratuitous, and neither creditable to himself nor injurious to us: much less as a preface to his after statements, are they calculated to recommend these statements to the confidence of his readers. We have given place to no false rumors, nor have we indulged in inuendoes or insinuations not dirtctly deducable from the facts we have published. It if it is base inuendo or insinuation to say, that the facts seem to declare that Mr. Stinson is the victim of conspiracy against his life there are those whom the cap fits, and let them and them only wear it. If it is a base inuendo or insinuation to say that the man who struck the blow, under which the poor victim is now lingering at the point of death was assisted to escape from justice by two sworn officeas of the law then we say it is an inuendo or insinuation which these officers had better hasten to cast from them as from being a mere base inuendo it is becoming fastened upon them as a base fact. Mr. Ev ans should have alluded to this charge, and denied it if not true. But, when he blames us for publishing what we have done, let him recollect our newspaper "inuendoes and insinuations" are plain and emphatic charges in the mouths of citizens. We are only bent on telling the truth, and neither fear nor favor shall prevent us doing this. A Card to the Public. Evansville, August 2,1856. It has pleased the editor of the Evansville Journal, for the purpose, I presume, of making political capital, to publish in his paper of this morning a tissue of false rumors and insinuations concerning me. I ask a candid public to hear my statement before they believe that of a partisan editor, whose daily avocation it is to blast the private characters of his opponents. I submit to the public the following statement of facts, for whose exactness I hold myself accountable to public opinion and to the courts of law. I had been in the ball room until between ten and eleven o'clock, and feeling heated, I ! left and walked to the tavern. When I reached the tavern door I saw Ross standing before Stinson, who was sitting down. They were apparently quarreling. I heard Ross say first, I don't want you to talk to me. Stinson replied, Stranger sit down here and let me talk to you. Ross then said, I don't want to hit a man sitting down as Brooks did Sumner; if you'll get up I will hit you. Stinson said, I don't want to fight you; I have a lady in charge, but if you'll come to Evansville I'll see you. Ross then struck Stinson either with the palm or back of the hand. Stinson then raised to his feet and they clinched. The two scuffled off the pavement, down between the store and the hotel. Stinson got Ross down. Ross then hallooed that he had "foul holds;" to pull him off. After he had said this three times, I pulled him off. After they were separated, they went out in the street, and commenced again. By that time some twenty persons had gathered; I aided in parting them a second time, catchins hold ot btinson for that purpose; the parties came together the third time. As sooon as they were released by us they fought a few rounds, and Stinson cried out "I am stabbed." I do not know who stabbed Mr. Stinson, or with what instrument. I had done all I could to pirt the combatants and prevent difficulty, and I think it very hard that on account of my exertions to that effect 1 should be implicated in the ca tastrophe. i he Journal editor says Ross struck Stinson while I held him. If Ross struck Stinson while we were separating them I do not know it. Ross certainly did not strike Stinson while I held him. It is utterly false that I pulled out a pistol and threatened any body. It is utterly false that Koss stabbed Stinson while I held him; I was not within ten feet of Stinson when he cried I am stabbed. I had no unfriendly feelings against Mr. Stinson; if there was coolness between us it was on his side. I here protest against the editorof a paper stabbing the reputation of persons in his columns. If I am implicated in this unfortu nate affair, let the Courts take cognizance of it It is dishonorable and uncalled for, to attempt to pnjudice the pablic mind in advance. I court all investigation. JAMES I. EVAMS. 0 A correspondent of the Memphis Ea gle, writing from Xorth Alabama, says : "The cause of Fillmore and Donelson is warming up in this section of the State. The ranks are swelling by continued accessions, and the cry is 'still they come.' Never was a nomi nation more enthusiastically received never a prospect more b. illiant. Under the magical eloquence of Senator Clemens the proud de fender of American principles, and the terror of the Democracy you may count upon the redemption of our patriotic State from the withering blight of foreign anti-Americanism."

A Letter from Toombs. Washington-, D. C. July 8, 1856. Dear Sir I received your letter of the 1st inst., together with its enclosures. Your letter to the London Times has become unnecessary, as you will perceive from the present state of the questions discussed, and, besides, it i3 altogether too complimentary to me, for me to have any agency in sending it. As I supposed, when I wrote you, publicopinion in

Jbasrland is right in regari to our difficulties. and has made itself felt in Parliament, and even the great Thunderer (the Times,) feels and bows to it. Our danger is not from abroad, it is at home. The election of Fremont would be the ond of the Union, and ought to be. The objects of Fremont's friends is the conquest of the South. I am content that they shall own us when they Conquer us, but not before. Respectfully yours, R. TOOMBS. We are sorry that the Republicans are going to try to capture tho South. This is a new and startling feature in their creed. But if it be a fact, we trust the South will take the best and only plan to save themselves that is by voting for Fillmore and placing him in the Presidential chair. In this case we promise them the South will not be captured, and that Mr. Toombs may sleep sonndly of nights without his arms by. his side in fear of a midnight attack from Northern men. 0rVe are unwilling that our friend Col. Drew should be deprived of any of his just awards in the way of compliments, and therefore we give him the benefit of the following from the Evansville correspondence of the State Sentinel, who is speaking of Gov. Wright's reception, and the speaking at the Pavilion: The Governor was followed by a Mr. Donly I believe, who made a very pertinent speech. Then rolled out from the sea of faces, the name of the old Democratic war-horse of Southern Indiana, '"Drew," the courteous landlord, (for, understand me. Drew is the Proprietor of the far-famed Pavilion) the "gentleman," '"Senator," 'Colonel," the indefatigable, never tiring Democrat. Drew was called for, and spoke for a few moments, only as the true and loyal Democrat can speak every word falling directly into the heart. Every sentence was applauded, and when he finished, a good round of applause testified that the speaker was at home among the Democracy of the "Old Jb irst." died: On Sundav Aug. 3d Thomas Walter, only son of Thos E D and Martha Lansi -J. arrd 1 y.arand 11 day SPECIAL NOTICES.
