GOODWIN. AmoRsE rnrEr.

Don'tbe astonished, reader Il can
be proyedl A gentleman, Of veracity
said. the other day. that he could prove
it without going out of Brookville.-
We have not the least doubt OF it,
There are more than twelve men--some
Of them Office. holders, and oflice.seek.
ers. that as firmly believe it, as they be-
lieve that we are liar, and they re-
FRAN from proving Il by certificates. only
because they do not think it necessary
to the success Of The party. Yet we
would not be astonished to see col
'umn Of certificates on that subject be-
fore the election. The appellations Of
liar, bypocrite, slanderer, hyena, &C.,
having wholly failed to accomplish the
ends designed, something'must be done
or said to prove that liquor selling is
right-that drunkards will make good
officers, that slavery is divine insti-
tuition and cannot go into Kansas, and
that the Catholics are the true conser-
vators of civil and religious liberty
Look out for the certificates. We hope
they won't prove that we are a murder
err too, and all ut one time. We could
not stand so much at once. Better
give il to US in broken doses.

An apology Isl due to ycu, Dear DR..
for the meagre turn out you had last
Tuesday, Several circumstances COM
bined to produce so unhattering dem

place, the minds of the people Of this
county are nearly settled on the Ne
braska swindle. There are but few
who believe that the object was to give
sovereignty to the squatters of Kan
sas, SO much as sovereignty to the
Shareholders of this nation. The few
who pretend to think that is the case,
remember that you said in l849 that
you would vote for the Wilmot provi-
SO, and even step forward and offer il
that it might be Fitch Proriso, il no
other champion of freedom could be
found with nerve enough. They re-
member also. that u few days ago, at

believe the doctrine it contained, but
you only wrote il to save the Demo.
cratic party from being overwhelmed
BY the tide that was in favor Of pro-
h;biting slavery extension. They re.
member also that you refused to b.
sworn, at Wabash. to proclaim now
none but your real sentiments. I'm.
der all these circumstances the people
of Old Franklin did not want to hear
you speak. The friends Of slavery
have no confidence in you. and the
friends Of freedom having been be

You will therefore excuse them fol

TEST AND MORTON.

The speeches Of these gentleman
last Saturday were listened to with
much interest by large number Of
citizens. We would love to give an
outline of them, but our limits will not
allow. They showed most conclusive
ly that the bill organizing the new
territories does net confer any unusual
political rights except the right to in
Iroduce slavery in territory now free.
They showed also. that even Doaglas
Himself had regarded the boundary

he was the prime mover in extending
IL through Texas and New Mexico,
and that II was new thought that il
was superseded by the compromises Of
1850. in one Of which il was virtually
re-enacted. They showed also that

IzTI In a recent conversation with
Judge Cant, he gave us his views on
the temperance question. While they
do not quite come up to our standard.
they are such as would secure very
good law. Then too, the Judge is.
practically. sober man. Some Of
our lawyers and big bugs might not
like the Judges rustic appearance.
and would not like to be seen in his
company in Indianapolis, but our coun.
try citizens would much rather walk
arm in arm with him to the State
House. and lean upon his manly. up
right form than to lead one who might
dress better, and talk more glilly, who
would patronize the grog shops. Al
though, as we told the Judge, we can
hardly vote for him, yet we confess
the record shows him about right on
most questions. He is right on the
school question, the bank question,
Petit question. the Nebraska question,
and more than half right on the tenn,
perance question, and the goose ques'
ton.

Nh. GOODWIN There is a report

it will do DIN this state about the 10th
of October, next. 1t appears not to

fatal to their aspirations. all that we

after the explosion and the smoke is

clearer than it has been for many

awful contortions into which il has
thrown their lugubrious phizes. For
my part do not think that any one

there should, you had better keep all

AmERE SUGGESTION.

We hope we viii not be counted
meddlesome because We suggest that
it might help the DR.. in his arduoss
labor Of love, as he attempts 10 con-
vince the free voters Of this county
that the best interests Of Democracy,
and Of the country in general, and Of
the Office holders, and their legitimate
successors in particular. require them
TO vote for the regular nomination, TO
take along a few copies of the Young
Hickory. Take those numbers par
ticularly. that prove Goodwin liar,
and that one, also. that proves him a
horse thief, II that gentleman has got
his dozen names yet. 1t would be
impossible to prove, any other way,
that the Know Nothings intend to kill
all the foreigners and drive the balance
back to the "old country" orto prove
that squattcrs, in Kansas, who can't
vote for the President, who appoints
their Governor, Judges, Marshals,
Secretaries, &c, who can't even have
a Representative in Congress. the so
called representative not being allowed
70 yote--who can't have even dele
gate in the senate-are sovereigns. -
This would be an easy way also to
prove that slavery can't go there, and,
If ii does. il is O divine institution. In
short, il is the easiest and the only way
to prove that the ticket composed OF
men who have been in office, time out
of mind, or who are the regular sue
cessors of the faithful, chosen accord
ing to the established usage" of the
gentlemen, who sit on cushioned chairs
in the "little brick" have an undoubt-
ed right TO the patronage and support
Of the people. Try it Doctor. We
charge nothing for the advice or pre-
scripiiou. Try it. We will warrant
it to spork well. We think you would
risk nothing in trying it,us your patient
is getting worse. and will certainly die
