I5'We invite the attention of our readers
to the long article we publish to-day from
the Louisville Journal, which is caustcally
severe but properly SO, on those former de
famers of Clay and the Wing party, who are
noav so hypocratically fond of eulogizing
both, to secure the votes of old enemies
We have often spoken of this hypocricy
but it has been left to the pungent pen of
Prentice to do the subject justice.

~ What a picture Is here presented in an
item from late number of the Wheeling
Times:
"Two persons came out of one tavern on
"Wednesday, with mania a portu, raving mad !;
three Irishmen lay dead at the same time, in
the tavern, while over twenty drunken men
and women were dancing and howlpg around
their bodies; at the. same time too, the clerk
OF the Circuit Court was issuing fourteen
writs Of mandamus on the clerk of the city
by ordeAof the Judge of the Court, 10 inquire
why the said clerk did not issue license to
fourteen persons to sell liquor"

I5The Floating Palace will once mora
visit our city, after long absence. 1t first
came as an Amphitheatre and Circus, then
as a Menagerie, but this time as Museum of
100000 curiosities! The Floating Palace
Museum is now at Louisville, and is being
visited by thousands. Judging from the at
tention it is attracting there, our citizens
will ind it worthy of visit, when it arrives
here.

A DRUNKEN AFFRAY.-An affray occuI-
red in front of the Pavilion Hotel, Sunday
night, between Constable Maurice Spratt
and barber by the mama of Cook.
They were both badly "shot" in the neck
before they commenced to fight, Maurice at
tempted to prevent Cook from going home
as he desired to do, whereupon a scuff1e
CO nmenced, and Cook fired pistol loaded
with shot or slugs. No damage was done
however by the shot, after they had both re-
GOV cred from the alarm caused by the report
OF the pistol, they took another turn in whic h
Cook got Spratt's finger in his mouth and
did it serious damage. They were finally
separated by mutual frineds and allowed to
SubSide
We heard of no prosecution in the case
for violation of the liquor law, but we under
stand that Marshal Burk intends doing his
duty in the premises.
On the part of Spratt, as city officer, this
was a disgra ceful affair. As he has disgraced
his position we call upon him to at once re
sign, or in case he does not, we trust his Sc
curities will give up their bonds, SO that he
may be suppIanted by better man. He
cannot complain that we have not en-
deayored to befriend him. II he wishes to
reciprocate our attentions, he will at once
resign.

%We are rejoiced 10 find that the plats
form adopted by the meeting at Indianapolis
suits our friends of the Evansville Journal
and Vincennes Gazette. Like them, we had
our doubts and misgvngs as to the result,
but, unlike them we did not choose to re-
main quietly at home and leave consequent
ces TO take care of themselves. II the clouds
looked dark, there was the more necessity
for meeting the crisis like men, and labor to
avert the evil. Next time we hope they
will not shrink responsibility In A. Irt6.
Shrink responsibility! The Evansville
Journal took the responsibility of speaking
out its honest opinions, as to this Conven'
ton, and while we entertained such opinions
as those 10 which we gave utterance,it would
have been unbecoming in US to have gone
near the Convention for the purpose of TAX
ing any part in its proceedings. Happily
this c invention was not governed by the ad-
vice of, or In sympathy with, the hot headed
Abolitionists who SO tremendously adjourned
their own meeting to participate in this, and
who were looking fondly to the Republicans
to declare at least strong Freesoil sentiments.
The Journ took the responsibility too of
speaking out honest sentiments relative to
the Philadelphia platform, and honest OBJ
iections to portion of the Republican plat
form in this State. We never dodge respon-
sbility, but speak our honest convictions at
oil risks.

Mr.. MINISTER Mason AND Prosecuted
YOU'VE AMERICAN LADy.-From one of The
recent letters of Rev. DR.. Thompson we
make the following extract:
While seated one morning in the office of
the American ambassador, Mr.. Mason came
in, and after the usual salutations said; "Dd
you ever get into protuse perspiration and
have wet blanket thrown over .your'-
"No." 81 did yesterday. A lady came to
me with the following narrative: 81 am from
the United States, and have in care a young
lady who has been visiting her friends in this
country. She is a Protestant, and her
father and mother, when dying, charged her
never to forsake her faith or marry Catho-
lie. She has, moreover, Protestant frie nd
in the UnitedStales, to whom she is attached,
and 10 whom, Oh her return to New York, she
expects 10 be married.
While in the South of France, she met
with a French gentleman who was smitten
with her; he procured an Introduction TO her,
and has been courting her with unremttng
attentions ever since. She has used every
measure to shake him off; she has frowned
upon him; she has tJld him that she Can
never marry him, that it is utterly impossi-
| biz; that his attentions are unpleasant, wear-
some, disgusting, even painful to her. and she
has pert mptorily ordered him never II. see
her He replies, shat is impossible till die
| cannot live without seeing you" We
came to this city in hopes to escape him, but
he watched our movements and came with
US. We sought TO hide from him here, but
he has found US out. We have told him that
we shall leave the country, and that he had
better return home. "No, no!'' says he, 81
viii go with you where you go, will stop
where you stop, will stay where you put
| up, | will live where you live, | with die
where you die" Now, can nothing be done
to save US from this annoyance!
DIR. Mason said he Immediately sent for the
project OF police and gave him the facts in
! presence OF the old lady. "Your troubles are
at an end" said the police officer; "the young
man will see your ward no more. Give me
his name and address; we will command him,
and if he obey not, we have way OF making
him obey." Mr.. NJ. returned with the old
lady to her lodgings, and announced 10 the
young one the joyful news OF deliverance
from the annoyance to which she had been
subjected, when 10! with a gush o. grief she
cried, so, you have been cruel as TO apply
to the police! You will wound the young
mans feelings. O, he is such a fine, such
a noble young man! | would suffer any
thing rather than wound his heart" IL start
ed homeward," said Mr. NJ, Gimme diately,
saying within myself, we have been doing
mischief; they will be married as sure as the
world. No resisiing French Enthusiasm"

TROUBLES ON TIE 0. q NJ. RAILROAD
The Irish laborers on this Railroad are pro-
ducing great of trouble on the Western
Division, between Vincennes and st, Louis
on account of not having been paid their
wages. On Thursday night last, according
to previous warning, they tore up the rails
near Lawrenceville, and placed big Eight
train arrived at Vincenues on Friday. Sat-
turday night they tore up the rails again, and
threw off the ties, so the train plunged into
the dirt. There was considerable jarring, but
no injury done. We learn this from gem
tleman from Olney. We presume the diff
.culties will not be arranged till the laborers
are paid up.

ty. But the editor of the Shelby News has
saved us the trouble Of an examination of
those files by quoting two or three of the
most infamous of their articles. The first ex-
tract we give is from Amos Kendall's Wash
ington City Expostor of 1874, al that time
the Locofoco party's central organ; and we
know that the extract was copied into the
Louisville Democrat, and, we believe, into
every other Locofoco paper in the West:
A DESIGN.
To illustrate the character Ofths Whig Party.
AT the top of the sheet put the name
"WHTG PARTY -
Under this, place the figure o(d double man
with face each way, one side representing
Henry Clay, with pistol in one hand and a
pack OF cards in The other; and the other
side representing Frelinghuysen, with BIZ
blein his hand. Below put the words
ave fight 10 III both carnaL and spiritual lrea-
pons."
Under this divide the sheet in two columns.
On the left put representation of Henry
Clay shooting fellow man in duel; on the
right, Frelinghuysen praying for sinners.
Below this, Clay at the card table playing
game of brag; and Frelinghuysen at the
communion table partakng OF sacrament.
Clay looking on while his overseer whips
a negro man, and Frelinghuysen walking
arm-in-arm with black dandy.

Is rHRRE AN ASSASSIN AMONG Us lit would
seem so. For on Wednesday night last, while
our fellow citizen Henry Beecheno, was enga'
ged at the counter Of his store, pistol was
fred from the street, the ball colhing in close
proximity to his person, breaking the stopper
Of one Of the glass bottles and perforating
some paper hanging on the shelves in his rear
What makes this the more inexplicable is the
fact that Mr.. Beecheno has had no difficulty
with any person since his residence among us,
and there is no reasonable cause why such a
murderous attempt should have been made. We
trust that the perpetrator Of this infamous
deed may be discovered, and properly dealt
with.

AFFAIRS IN KANSAS.

The telegraph gives us some fearful ac-
counts of disturbances and hloodshed in
Kansas.
In what peculiar way, they originated, or
in which part of the territory they broke
out, we are not informed. Possibly, they
allude to disturbances which have been an.
pretended from the arrival of the Free
soil agitator, Park, and the determination
not to permit him to reside there. More
probably, however, they spring from the
more general cause Of the free state organ
ization to resist the constitutional laws
and subvert the territorial government by
arms. For this purpose there appears to
have been extensive secret preparations,
and at the last direct advices which we
have had from the territory crisis was ev.
identity at hand.
The free state or free soil party have
just concluded their convention, at which
they formed a state constitution, and order
ed elections to be held under it as soon as
it shall be adopted by the votes of their
partizans. They intend thus to assume the
character of state, in direct opposition
to the existing territorial authorities; and
the secret recruiting and arming with the
view of expelling the subsisting govern.
ment by force. This has been made appar.
