THE Hoo TRADE.-A strong desire still
exists to purchase hogs for early delivery; and
sales have been made within the week at
Sc, 80 per cwt. net, 70, November delivery.
and now holders ask SIS. For December
delivery, we hear of no transactions-holders
ask Sc; and purchases could not be made
below this rate. The stock of old Pork and
Bacon in this nssrke; is very small, and before
the new comes in. viii b entirely exhausted.
This will be the case, il i, supposed, in all the
leading markets; and this consideration, to-
gether with the advices rom Eng land BY the
last steamer, leads to the conclusion that high
rates will be obtained for III the meat brought
in to the market early Contracts are being
made in Indiana at s5.5s per cwt. net. for
delivery in the latter par of December and

The Election on Tuesday Next.

The members of the Republican party and
the friends Of freedom. are reminded that the
annual election for county officers is to be held
on Tuesday next And although the officers
to be elected are merely of an Executive char
acter, yet the result will be regarded in po-
litical light. It is therefore important that =
full vote should be given. We believe our
old line friends have but two candidates in the
field. and that is for Judge and Clerk of the
Court; and every effort will be made. if they
have no other candidates in the field. to trade
and traffic off their votes for votes for either
or both their candidates. We trust every OPP
ponent Of the present administration in power

Of the Missouri Compromiss-everyf friend Of
temperance and good order-every Repubh-
can. will vote the ticket nominated BY the
party-vote the ticket, the whole ticket. and

Our neighbor. in his last paper, uses the
following language in regard to An infamous
Islander which was started by Catholic priest
in Norfolk. Va, and which has been refuted
in the most unequivocal manner BY those best
acquainted with the facts. He says:
1.-The journals of the day have recorded
the fact that while the Protestant clergy and
lsity. TO q considerable extent, fed in dismay
before the pestilence which il raging at Nor
folk; the Sisters Of Mercy Of the Catholic
Church. were firm and unceasing in their
heavenly ministrations TO the sufferers"
Does it not strike the reader with strange
sensations to read SO foul lie against the
Protestant clergy and lsity." and so grea, a
compliment TO the Catholics? We will no,
say that the Catholics failed to perform their
duties among the suffering at Norfolk, bu.
that they were more attentive, more watchful
and more regardless OF their own lives than
the Protestaats. 10 as Infamous = Islander IS

The CIoyen Foot in the kansas-N ebraskn
Bill.

The Glover Foot in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Bill
The infamous outrages upon Freedom, and
the entire contempt of all Republican princi-
pies and presidents, perpetrated IN the name
of Democracy by tie authors OF the Nebras-
ks bill. are daily being developed in more viv-
id colors The Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier, who is noted for the
temperate aud concilitory tone of his writings.
let's in the light upon some of the dark tea
lures of sham Democracy in the following:
The country has fallen into avery nHtur-
al mistake in regard to one important feature
of the Nebraska and Kansas act. 1t contains
no provision for submitting the acts of the
Territorial Legislature to the revision Of Con
grese. That has been the established rule in
the organization of Territories. and this is the
Hra and only deporturs from IL. In all form
er acts establishing Territorial Governments
the revision in Congress of the power TO
pervise and annul the laws OF the Territories
considered inconsistent with the general good,
has been explicit and uniform This clause is
found in the bill creating Washington Terri
tory, passed March Cd, 1858, and in all pre-
cedlng ones OF the same class. ct ii is omit
ted in this most important of all. framed only
nine or ten months afterwards. The reason
for this deviation from the usual course is OBJ
vous and II furnishes strong corroborative
proof OF the worst charges brought against
the Administration, to- wit. that II WAS well
informed of the intended outrages of String
fellow and his gang, and not only connived
at them. but promised the means of their
commission. and deliberately reniOred all those
safeguards by phich suh ercesses nigh. hare
been reneedied.
When read the newspaper accounts Of
these Legislative movements, though they
more resemble the orgies of savges than the
deliberations of civilized and Christian men,
We have the consolation to reflect that they are
without remedy. We must not only permit
these enormities to be enacted day after day
in the name Of the United States, but We must
pay for them. The whole com licated scheme
Of iufamy is supported by the perverted au-
thority Of the United States, and by the gold
of the Federal Treasury.
If there ever was case in which the
people aggrieved were called upon TO protect
their own rights and to punish the aggressors,
1t is that of he iona ride settlers in Kansas"
Aye. and if ever there was time in the
history of our country when all who love free
institutions and venerate justice and the right,
should sustain them at ali hazards, it is now
In the elections soon 10 take place in Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and other free
States, we nope 10 see them stand together as
a unit in defence Of the bona Jids settlers in
Kansas. We have an abiding trust that the
minions Of slavery and despotism will be sig
nally discomhtted, and that the doughfaces,
will be sent, like beasts of prey, bowling TO
their dens.

Col. MEREDITH, OF INDIANA.-This gentle
man has become one of the most prominent
sheep-raisers, not only of Indiana, but of the
United States. At the last National Cattle
show he exhibited very superior herd, to
which he has since added the celebrated bull
Balec. recently purchased of Col. L. G. Nor
ris. of New York. admitted to be of the best
in Europe or America. He has also purcha-
sed ten Southdown Sheep. from Samuel
Thorne. of Duchess county. n. Y, and
among them an English prize buck. We ex-
pect to see these animals at the Indiana Fair,
