This morning a number of our anti-Ne-
braska fellow citizens, accompanied by the
Evansville Brass Band, will bear to Union
township an American flag or banner, manu-
featured purposely as compliment to the
citizens of that township-the Banner town
ship of Indiana. Union township cast 100
votes at the late election, Of which only -four
were for Miller, Nebraska, and the admins
traton. II this do not entitle her to the IT,
tie Of Banner township in Indiana, why
some new reports will have TO come in
Those who intend going to Union township
to-day, will convene at the Journal office cor
ner at 9 o'clock or before. II the Weather
be pleasant, this will prove a delightful trip.
The banner will be presented with an ap-
propriate speech by Jas. Harlan. Esq, and
received in behalf Of Union township by
Gen. Greathouse. We hope there will be q
large attendance from this city. Numbers
are expected from Henderson.

The Cincinnati Columbian of last Tues
day in its money article says:
Except more lively feeling, there is no.
thing new in the money market since the
difficulty at the Newport Bank, which proves
to be permanent failure, and not a Temporal
ry tghtness. This institution has never POS
sessed the confidence of orr citizens. AT
the outset its notes were found in circulation
like a premature babe, before their time. IL
afterwards came out that the large notes
were secured by State Stocks; but the small
ones were not; an unfairness that their char
ter sanctioned, but the public did not

A NEWLY IMPROVED GUY.-The editor OF
the Cincinnati Gazette was shown the other
day newly improved gun, which he believes
will eventually supercede those now in use.
1t was invented by A. N. Newton, of Rich
mond, Ind, and is called the "breech- load
ing fire-arm," and was patented last June
The inventor challenges the world to pro.
duce gun that can be loaded and fired with
greater ease and rapidi,y. 1t can be loaded
and fired from twenty to thirty times a min
ute. The charge is placed in the gun at the
breech, and, although perfect to accomplish
the purpose, the invention is very simple,
and in its simplicity lies one of its chief
merits. By the motion of a spring, small
cover at the breech of the gun slides back,
leaving room to put in the charge, and by a
reverse motion the cover is pushed back
again and the charge is forced into the bar.
rel. It's perfectly safe. We think it vast
ly superior to the revolver. The charge il
made into cartridge before it is applied tC
the barrel. The principle of the invention
is applicable TO any gun.

'P'g,c Elections.

The returns of the elections in Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohir, and Indiana, have savage and
unmistakable aspect on Nebraska affairs
There is an awful reality in that frightiul ar
ray of figures which speaks expressively to
the President. He begins to feel, undoubt-
eddy, that it would have been best for him TO
let the compromises of slavery rest where
the compromise measure had placed that
question, before President Pierce came into
power. He rushed pell-mell into squattar
sovereignty, stirred up the turbid waters of
agitation, pressed the slavery questions into
service, repealed the Missouri Compromise
and now he finds, amidst all this clatter that
he was q bull in china shop. The King OF
the Mosquito kingdom could not have been
more appalled, during the bombardment OF
Greytown, than the President is with this
bombardment of the capitol by the people
The King of the Musquitos knew there was
virtue in his legs, and he could run from the
bombardment. The President, however,
has to stand it; painful as this bursting of
bombs is to him, he must wear on until he
withers again into Franklin Pierce, Of New
Hampshire. His friends are falling in every
direction. He found it easy enough to buy
Dr. Olds, by telling him, according to the
doctors letter, to take position where he
could ask for judgeship for friend; but
unfortunately the people OF DIR. ODDS dis
trct would not sign the contract and thus
confirm the sale. The people repudaied the
whole transaction and made DR.. Olds one OF
the smallest specime ms of humanity that will
crawl in the walks of the House of Repre-
sentatives during the coming winter.
At no time, within our memory, has the
North been so thoroughly and firmly united
on the questions connected with slavery as
at present. There was a general acquies-
cence in the compromise measures. The
North was carrying out her portion OF the
compromise in good faith. Public opinion
was SO decided that fanatcism was ab lie tC
make no Roadway. The South saw itself in
the enjoyment Of success it had not known
before. In the midst of this peaceable state
of things, it suited the aspiring genius of Mr.
| Douglas, Senator from Illinois, to fix hi:
/ frenzied eyes upon the Presidency, and mad
ness seized possession of his brain. Ht
pressed his baleful plot against the compro
misses, and received the aid of the President
/ The parties descended so low as to attach
the virtue of as small a thing a DIR. Olds
and bought him, il his own letters are auihen
tic testimony.
The administration Democrats Of India ma
Ohio, and Pennsylvania, have dropped thei
banner, and in broad and intelligent terms
they have inscribed on its ample folds, thu

tude, the result

The st. Louis Republican, ennumer-
ating the advantages of their trade with a
little town called Belleville, gets off the fol-
lowing unintentional irony:
Its manufacturing advantages are such,
that it is bound to be an important auxiliary
to ST Louis in this element of u city's great
ness and prosperity, ami some idea may be
formed OF il, when w state that her manu-
factories are capable of turning out 800 bb Is
OF flour, and 90 OF whisky, while her exports
of ale aud beer alone amount TO over 1900
barrels per annum.

SATURDAY MORNING, ::::"::GCT. Q
The Mora,osthe Election.

The result of the recent elections in the
free States will have done more to awaken
the minds of the people, both North and
South, to true sense of their real PosItlon'
and their relations and obligations to each
other, than any preceding popular demon
stration for many years. The various issues
which the Nebraska bill presented 10 the
people, have been developed and so unanim-
ously and emphaticalIy condemned, that
there can be no doubt lingering in the mind
of any pro-slavery advocate, either North or
South, that the extension of slavery into
territory where it does not now exist, can
find no favor with any patty in the NORTH
The entire North has now been heard upon
that subject-not as abolitionists-not as
fanatics-not as "traitors and enemies of the
constitutions" but as enlightened, sober, and
rejecting freemen. Their verdict has been
one of condemnation, it is true, but it has
been deliberately and inteligently rendered
The people OF the free States stood upon
their own ground, and most gloriously main
tanned the integrity Of their position and that
of their fathers for ages past.
Those who lent their aid to the support OF
the Nebraska bill, as an act of Justice to the
South, have found themselves badly Sold
While that portion OF the Democratic press
North, which supported the bill at all, were
making popular sovereignty its chief at
traction,i its commanding feature, their South
ern friends repudate the doctrine, and de-
clare "they will not submit to it,
While the allies of the slavery extension
lists in the North, submitted the question
upon the ground that "the people of the ter
ritories had right to regulate the subject Of
slavery in their own way" the Southern
pres contend and claim that the Nebraska
bill coufers no such right, but that it has set.
tied the question already; and forsooth de.
clare that "they will not submit to the doc.
trine of squatter sovereignty" The North
ern supporters of that me asure, who have
fallen willing martyrs in a cause, in which
they had no interest, but one purely of pro-
fessed philanthropy to their Southern breth
rem, are absolutely told they have done no
thing, and what they hare professed to do
has been contemptuously repufiated
We leave this issue, between Northern
doughfaces and Southern Shareholders
where it belongs. to be adjusted in their own
way. Nothing could establish more forcibly
the position of "the People" of the North
than the present attitudes OF the Northern
and Southern Nebraskaites. The swindle o.
the bill is herein clearly demonstrated -
"The People, have taken their position, ant
by it they rW stand. The doctrine Of "the
People" is the doctrine of the Compromises
and THOUGH geographical lines are destroyed
though solemn and rrevocable compacts ar
declared imperative and void" the princi
Piles upon which they were founded by oUl
FATHERS, can never be effaced or disturbed

YANKEE CELEBRITY VS.. ENGLISH Stow
NEss.-The N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, re-
ferring to the slowness and torpidity mani

The sluggishness Of movement of the al

expedition against the Mexican capital-al

Two boats were launched, the first OF
