MILTON, WAYNE COUNTY, a., ,


Mr. EDIToR have recently travelled through
six or eight counties of our State, and only met
with three men that heard express themselves
in favor Of Mr.. Van Buren's reelection. One
of them was the editor Of the Democrat, at In
dianapos-I called at his Office TO gel weekly
paper. He also gave me another that he called
an Extra, dated June 9th. The first thing cast
my eyes upon iods an Extra of his own manu-
facture-as follows verbatim:
"Mr. Van Buren,, il will be recollected, sent
the estimate to Congress, by which il was shown
that one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was
necessary to be appropriated for the Cumberland
road, this year, 1910, In Indiana, and the Wings
defeated the appropriation"
Us Hoosiers, though we live in an obscure
part Of the Far West, have small chance TO see
and hear what is passing sometimes, as well as
the loco foco editors of the country We are not
TO be crammed with such falsehoods when we
can contradict il by the official documents them
selves! Il isn't every patient in our country
that swallows all the medicine the doctor leaves
for him.
II our county for the Presidential contest
should be taken for guide, the contest will not
be worth the peoples notce-there are al least
four Harrison men for one Vanite. Our county
(Wayne) has about FIVE thousand voters, and
Old Tin, as he is called will get from four thou
sand 10 four thousand FIVE hundred Of that num-
her of votes. unless there be a great change be-
fore the election

THE SLANG OF INFIDELITY.

The documents To which you refer are subject to
a. many constructions and misconstructions the
Christians Bible
That man of sane mind, who will ere long,
like ourselves, be food for the churchyard,
(pabuium acheronfis,) should publish "to the
world" such declaration is painful to the seri-
Gus heart. More to be regretted still is il that
It should come from the tripod Of powerful po-
litlcal congregation. II is attributed TO Mr..
Kendall, and if truly his, illustrates in striking
manner the spirit Of the Extra Globe, and ex-
poses the true character Of that morality which
Its author undertakes to teach TO virtuous peo-
pie For our own part, we have been taught to
revere and love the Christians Bible, and 10 fear
the Great Being who inspired it.. We regret
that il should be degraded TO such uses II APP
pears to us as though the author Of that remark
feeling the utmost contempt for Harrison's wri-
lungs, had still greater scorn of the Christians
Bible, and wishing to give expression TO the for
mer, he naturally referred for comparison to the
thing most contemplate in his mind, and hence
resulted comparison designed to bring the one
INTO contempt, and rejecting equally upon both
The Christians Bible is easily understood
by him who reads il in the right spirit. The
lover of truth, the man Of high moral sense,
he who longs for a life of purity, of happ-
ness and immortality, and who is not so much
beast as to be unable TO comprehend love and
mercy, will not find the Christians Bible sealed
book of mystery, subject to the constructions
and misconstructions" Of poor, weak, finite
minds. The construction his heart will put up
on it, is, that it convicts him Of sin against his
maker, and construes to him, as il were with
pencil Of light, the inevitable destiny of sinner,
and points out TO him the only plan of redemp-
ton yet revealed TO man. That is a construc-
ton from which he cannot escape, by a life time
Of demonstrations And mankind have con-
strued clearly enough out of that same book
system of morals, to the beauty and perfection
Of which no merely human system ever has or
can approach. The religion of that book is the
conservative principle Of society. And it is only
when bibles are burnt, religion subverted, and
God scofied, that infdelity and revolution stalk
hand in hand through the land The overthrow
of religion was one of the first aims of Robes
pierre was his last Would Mr..
Kendall follow his example,
But the author Of the above paragraph was too
short sighted to see that in his attempted slur
upon Gen. Harrison, he has paid him the highest
compliment For surely if our adversaries com
pare General Harrison's productions to the
writings Of inspiration they are sufficiently per
spicuous to be understood by most people. This
is merit which Gen. Harrisons friends have
never had the presumption to claim.

A correspondent of ours at New Burlington,
Delaware county, Indiana, under date Of June

Kendall which he had received, (the letter we
published before many were Autographed and
adds the following:

banner--we are familiar with him in every sense.

years he has been identified with our interests,
our perils, and our hopes. must beg to be of.

THE LATEST HUMBuG.

The " Twins" of the Extra Globe have the
brazen front to say, that some opponent of the
Administration has put forth forged copy Of
inducement could any political adversary of the
President have to conceal or dstort the incidents
of his nglorious life The rerifable history
affords the most abundant grounds for the oppo-
sition Of every true patriot. The motive to this
false charge is, the wish to give increased crcu-
lation TO dull and tiresome compilation, pur-
porting to be narrative Of all Martin Van Blu
rem has ever said or done, published in the FIX
ira Globe.

DIDACTICAL.

We are overTun with correspondents. Ii is
a good symptom we confess but we beg, in
self defence, to suggest to them, very respect
fully, few rules for their observation:
|. Condense your articles, and make them
brief as possible.
2. Never send us communication unless you
are sure it has point.
3. Never expect to see your communications
in print unless you can write grammatically,
and can do your own spelling and punctuation.
4. Never write on both sides of your paper, if
you intend your article to be printed. 1t is a
great inconvenience to the compositor, and can
scarcely be tolerated, unless the communication
is from a distance.
S. Never bore an editor by reading your arti-
Gle to him. Leave it to his discretion, and bide
your time.
6. Never ask an editor the news-it is like
getting professional advice without fees, or
smuggling goods. Take his paper, pay for it,
and then you will get the news without inquiry.
7. II is a great mistake TO suppose that an edi
tors sdnctum, is public reading room. To
tumble and read an editors exchanges, is as bad
as riling the fountain where the spring folks are
dipping water for their customers.
8. When you wish to discontinue paper do
it with as much decency as you ordered it, al
ways remembering that an editor forever sets
him down as no gentleman, who, after requesting
his paper, compels the postmaster to send an
abrupt notice that the paper "is refused" and,
that an editor can never regard him an honest
man who discontinues his paper without paying
arrearages.
9. Never fatter yourself that an anonymous
communication, addressed to, or touching per-
sons, will be noticed.

The representative from the Cincinnati Dis
trict made an exceedingly moring speech yes
terday. Under his peculiar eoquence, the
House dwindled to a small fraction. His audi
tory became infinitesimal, or an evanescent
quantity Itwould have been necessary to seek
for listener with lamp, as the cynic searched
for the honest man. The scene recalled the
anecdote Of the Irish Colonel of Militia, who
asked for the Donegal Light Troop: "Here |

striving to accumulate power by entertainments
upon the rights Of me people, and the latter en-
deayoring TO resist these encroachments and hold
their rulers in check. The invader is ever on
the alert, and seldom loses favorable opportu-
NIFTY to advance and take possession Of some
new position, especially when his antagonist is
luiied TO sleep, and dreams not Of danger, from
whence he can again advance when time and
circumstances shall favor him. Nearly all these
contests have heretofore resulted finally in the i-
umph OF the invader chiefly through the supine-
ness and fatal confidence Of the people, or in the
want Of union and concert of action among them.
Such contest is now going on between the
rulers and ruled, the office holders and the PEG.
pie, IN this country: whether il will result in
the triumph OF the former and the defeat Of the
latter depends entirely upon the vigilance and
energy of the people themselves. Their fate is

RANKRIIPT BILL.

This bill is now in the House of Representa-
tives, having passed the Senate on Thursday
last, and we unite with the whole people in
hoping il may speedily become law
Every mail brings us evidence of the deep in
terest that is felt for the fate of this popular mea-
sure by the country. II is the only plan of relief
that has been agtated in Congress. And why
not pass il without delay?
The bill now before the Senate is precisely
what Senators Wall and Wright desired, except
the clause including State Institutions The
compulsory and voluntary powers are embraced
IN IT. II is SO guarded as to make il as onerous
and expensive as possible to the debtor. What
more do creditors require2 All the suggestions
Of the Chamber Of Commerce are included
What more does any one ask And now we
say to all who object, let us inquire what this bill
proposes to do
Itprovides that an honest unfortunate man,
and none other, shall be permitted to surrender
all his property under oath-undergo a severe
and searching trial before disinterested court
and jury, and then if he shall be found TO be an
honest man, he shall be discharged from the
LEGAL effect of his debts. He does not ask to be
discharged from the moral obligation to pay
Congress cannot discharge him from that
He asks, after the laws have stripped him
naked and turned him pennyless upon the
world-to be allowed to use his character TO
honesty, talents, integrity, and industry, to ac-
cumulate property TO pay his debts and support
his family This is all he asks. Is this I'M
reasonable2 Can any one wish to refuse him
the use Of his character for such purpose
