Greeley on Dunn.

Horace Greeley, of the n. Y. Tribune,
having paid his respects to Col. X. w
| Thompson, whom he appears to hold resPon-
sible for the vote of Harvey ID. Scott against
Banks, has now turned his attention to an-
other of our Indiana delegation-Mr. Dunn,
of the Madison District. He is qnite severe
on Mr.. Dunn, but he had some Cause for 1t,
AS Dunn gave Greeley most severe castlSa
ton in aspeech he made in the House on the
18th, charging him Greeley with having, as
member of the House, some years ago, voted
for and received several hundred dollars worth
of books after denouncing the voting and tax
ing of such books as little or no better than
stealing. Against this charge Mr.. Greeley de-
fends himself anal at the same time proceeds
to dissect Mr.. Dunn He charges that Mr..
Dunn has acted with much Inconsistency and
bad faith on the Speakership question. lie
says that Mr.. Dunn gave as an excuse for re-
.ftlsing. to vote Tor Mr. Banks that he had not
been nominated by caucus. and there was
no evidence that he was the choice OF the an
IT, Nebraska members; that to humor him,
caucus was called, at which Mr. ID. made
speech and then put on his hat and bolted;
after this Banks l0as nominated Greeley
concludes thus:
Yet, though thus concluded by his own
volunteered pledge. Mr.. Dunn coolly repudi-
ates it, and persists in voting steadily to keep
the House disorganized and in chaos, and let
the border ruffians work their will upon the
Free State men of Kansas And now this
unhappy suicide seems to think that have
him, when it is nobody but HIM
self Ii Judas Iscariot has been made ex-
emplary and Benedict Arnold rendered by
patriot, the credit or blame be-
longs in no part to me, but solely to the Hon
orable George c. Dunn
Now this is "yery pretty quarrel as it
stands" aud we very much doubt whether
Mr.. Dunn will be willing to give it up So"
He will no doubt return to the charge il he
thinks the game worth the candle. Greeley
has one advantage over his antagonist, how
ever His paper the Tribune, has larger
circulation than congressional speeches usu-
ally obtain, and he can always get hearing
through his own columns, while it is not ev-
cry day that Mr.. Dunn may be able to catch
the eye or ear of "Mr. Speaker" when that
functionary shall be installed

8ingnlar InfatuatiOn-

Tho editor of the Vincennes Gazette, one
of the most rampant Know Nothing papers
in the State, has very lengthy article in one
Of his late numbers, headed Immigration
Knox County, in which he sets forth at
great length the advantages which that coun-
ty presents to persons seeking home. He
pictures in glowing colors, and no doubt
truthful terms, the richness of the soil, the
proximity to markets, the social advantages in
the way Of society, of churches, and of
schools, which Knox county offers to the
farmer and the mechanic, and invites them
to come and make their home in that de-
lightful portion of the Wabash Valley.
Now, Knox is the very oldest county in In
diana. More than two hundred years aso
the "Old Post" was inhabited by white men,
while for hundred of miles around in every
direction the Indians held undisputed sway.
Around it are clustered the associations of
seven generations of civilized inhabitants,
and this can be said of very few spots either
to the east or the west of the Alleghenies.
One would suppose that if any portion of our
country had no need Of recruits from else
where, that place would be Vincennes and
Knox county. The "Old Post" enjoys a
widespread fame. Her garrison and her
block houses were the defence and the shell
ter of the early settlers against the incursions
Of the merciless savages. She was the seat
of our early territorial government. Beneath
a spreading tree in her midst Gen. Harrison
met the proudest and most defiant of Indian
warriors and treated fer the cession to the
white man of much of what now constitutes
two great and sovereign States. The "0ld
Post" then, has historic name and fame
But still it is considered expedient TO invite
to her precincts men and women and chill
dren from abroad And the editor who, in a
labored and lengthy and well written article
extends this invitation, is a devotee to the
doctrine of Know Nothingism, which says
our country Leeds no further accessions-thai
immigration is curse instead of blessing
Perhaps, however, the editor of the Ga
zette is not believer in that homely adagt
so familiar to all, which says that "what i:
sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.'
Perhaps he believes that while immigration
would be most excellent thing for Vim
cennes and Knox county, it would be a mos
pernicious thing for all the balance of tn,
towns and counties in these thirty one State
and seven territories. How is it, most excel
lent Gazette? Will you condescend to en-
tighten us on this vexed question Had yol
not better reconsider your position on this sub
| ject Do you not think it would be NOR
consistent with your Know Nothing dogma

0C A package of bank bills, to the
amount of some $4,000, was lost some two
weeks since, on the railroad, between this
place and Logansport. The bills were on the
Tippecanos Bank at Logansport, and were
being forwarded from the office of the State
Auditor to Jno. W. Wright, president of the
Bank. They had not yet received the sis
natures of the officers of the Bank.
On Saturday last an lrishman, (who we be-
lieve has been engaged at work on the rail-
road). offered one of the bills TO one of Our
merchants, who Immediately detected the
forgery of the signatures, and had the Irish
man arrested, who Immediately disclosed the
whereabouts of the Test of the money. Il
was found in the hands OF four different per
sons, all Irish employees on the road, who
have been arrested, and are now undergoing
an examination before Esq Mills of this place

The Kansas War at an End.

From the st. Louis Democrat of the 10Th
inst, we learn that the anticipated troubles
in Kansas were not brought to head The
Democrat says that proposition was made
by Atchison and Shannon that the people of
Lawrence comply with the laws and deliver
up their arms. The latter professed their en-
tire willingness to obey the laws, but refused
to part with their rcvolvers and rifles. To
this the pro-slavery party assented, and on
Sunday morning the Missourians received
orders to disband. They were encamped at
Wakarusa, six miles from Lawrence, and num-
bered about six hundred men. At Lecomp-
ton were about two hundred more. The Free
State men numbered about seven hundred
men in Lawrence, all armed with Sharps's
rifles. The Missourians were reported to be
much dissatisfied with the order for their dis
bandment. They are said to have suffered
a good deal from inclement weather and to
have lost portion of their horses and arms.
The whole country will be rejoiced to hear
of the termination of this difficulty, which at
one time threatened the most serious conse-
quences

decision of the liquor law in our last we said
that Judge Stuart decided the law constitu-

manufacturing and provide for agencies
This was true, as to those points in the law
which came up for adjudication. But Judge
Stuart concurs with Judge Perkins and Da-
visson in the opinion that the clause provi-
ding for search, seizure, and coniscation is
likewise unconstitutional, and should that
point be brought before the Court it would be
so decided. So the Judge stated when he
submitted his written opinion. In the case
submitted to the Court the search and seiz-
ure clause was not involved.
