New Albany and Salem Railroad, and
the Indiana and Illinois Central, cross
each other as this place. The former
is finished, and the latter is in the
hands of those, who will vigorously
push IT to completion.
Our citizens are an industrious class
of people. Eastern capitalists are
here, and have gone into improve.
ments upon large scale, such as saw.

on which the people OF this part oI
Indiana are wide awake, are Temper

its candidates and the friends of hu-
manity rejoice that they have an open
field and fair fight. The contest re.
solves itself, at once iEto the follow
ing, free whisky and slavery. against
temperance and Liberty. Enlisted
under such banner, and against such
foe. we vW conquer.
The candidates for representatives,
in this county, addressed the people
here. short time ago. The standard
bearer of the whisky and Nebraska
party, calls himself an old line con-
seryative whig. and declares that the
party has left him, instead of his
leaving the party, for he still stands on
the old Clay platform. He is right
about the party's having him, and he
will find it so next October, they will
leave him at home, and send McMurry,
a gentleman. and good temperance
man to the Legislature.

the notorious, trucking. slavery pan

Davis, who would sell his soul to
Pierce, Douglas, & co., fora dime, and
take it out in whisky at three cents a
glass. He too, will be left at home
Scott spoke here last Friday and left
a good impression. He is whole
team on the stump, and will canvass
the district thoroughly. l heard old
democrats say, after his speech, that
they had voted all their lives with
their party. but now they could do it
no longer, Davis had betrayed them
and they could notsupport him. They
were tired of such dough-face dema-
gogism, and hereafter they intended to
send men TO the national council. Let

LETTER FROM REV. Il. REEs.

Mr.. EDrroR:-Iion. ]. L. Robinson
in his speech at Brookville, on the e2d
inst, stated that the Catholics were
the first in this country TO establish
religious toleration to all who believed
in Jesus Christ. In this the gentle
man is mistaken. Roger Williams, a
Baptist clergyman, was the first to
proclaim religious toleration in mod
ern times, aud founded the first Re-
publican colony in this country.
Roger Williams was the FIRST in
modern Christendom. to assert. in IFS
plenitude, the doctrine Of liberty Of
coascience-the equality Of opinions
before he law, and in its defence, he
was the harbinger Of Milton, the pre-
cursor and sup 'rior of Jeremy Taylor"
-Bancroft's Hist. y. s., voli.p p. $40.
"Roger Williams, a clergyman Of
Salem, being banished on account Of
his religious views. though these en-
bodied the true principles Of religious
librty, for Me FIRST time clearly assert
ed, became the founder of Rhode Is.
land in 1886. There n
government was established on the
principles Of political equality and re-
ligious federation. Thus Rhode
Island, through the influence of her
founler, has the honpr OF being the
first colony in the New World to set

Thus, the verdict Of History is
against Mr.. Robinson. Roger Will

1886, in his own language. ga shelter
for persons distressed Of conscience"
More than ten years after, this colon
ial power brought into being the fa-
nous statute OF Maryland. Il have
now before me-" says DR. Fuller, of
Baltimore, "the boasted statute Of
Maryland. II was passed o. the eist
of April, l649. Williams. in 1914,
published what was called the Bloody
Tenet, in which lie took strong grounds
against religious intolerance. (See
Benediet's History Of the Boptists. -
In 1916, two years before the Mary
land law. the civil code Of Rhode Is.
land was enacted, proclaiming to all
men perfect liberty in religion.

sideration Of Mr.. Robinson, that.
herafter, he may render "honor to
whom honor is due"

LADY LAwyERs.-one Of The females

vention, having stated that she was

All women like a declaration, though
most prefer another kind than in writ.
Still, our Blackstone in skirts may sue

ance, the present race OF lawyers being
by no means beautiful in the phiz. Ia
