CYNrHrANA, Ind, A ril 8 1855.
A. H. SANDERS, Esq.

Sir:-The voters of our township m ct
yesterday for the purpose of choosing
township officers. The Old Line Dem
ocrnts proved true to the platform which was
adopted the Gath of May at indianapolis
On counting the votes it appeared that
Greene Holman was chosen Justice of the
Peace. This same fellow, Greene Holman,
was appointed Postmaster during last winter.
but he became convinced that he was not
qualified for the office. He was seen going
about town seeking somebody to take the
Office and release him. The supposition
with some Of our citizens is. that he will
dispose of the Justices office in the same
manner in less than three months. Your
noted brayer, Col. Drew, passed through
here yesterday and made the Democracy a
short speech, in which he gave the liquor
law, which has recently been passed in this
State, and the Know Nothings, Hail Column
bia. His exposition of the liquor law was
more novel than otherwise. Col. in his speech
asserted that no farmer having an orchard
or whey ard can make or sell wine or cider to
any person except the agent appointed by
the County Board. Drew further stated in
his address that no man who has been known
to drink glass of cider can set as juror
he called it the hellish liquor law, got up
by the Know Nothings in spite of the Old
Line Democracy. The old fellow tried to
make the people believe that no attention
would be paid to the law; that it could not
be enforced; but he could not come it. Col.
tried to excuse himself for voting against
going into the election of U. s. Senator, be-
cause he wished to defeat the damnable
clan know as Know Nothings. At the
close of the farce rich scene presented it.
self. The Col. was saluted by one of his
followers, the bigses sot in the township,
and friendly shaking of the ha nds and hug.
ging spree ensued. Good enough for him.

THE CINcrNNArr E.EcrroN-ANrr-AME

THE CIscrHNArr Observation-Disclosures
Cincinnati Gazette, which
preserved great moderation throughout the
recent canvass and elections in that city,
says:
We are sure that when the foreign vote
shall combine, with unimportant exceptions,
to put down the American vote, the evil day
is close upon us. The vote of Monday may
be safely put down as follows: ten twelfths
of the Democratic vote was cast by Germans
and Irishmen, and two-;welfths by Ameri.
cans. The vote for the American ticket
was nearly all cast by Americans. This is
the way in which the American ticket has
been defeated. We have never known in
any election, even when party ties bound
strongly the action Of the masses, where the
issue was more distinctly made between the
American and Foreign, and the Protestant
and Catholic elements, than that made on
Monday last. The Americans did not pre-
sent these issues, but they were superin.
duced by the circumstances connected with
the election.

We cGll the particular attention Of our
readers to the advertisement of great sale
of lots and land in and about Hickman, KY.
Hickman is fourishing business point, only
80 miles below Cairo. The Louisville Jour-
nal says it has increased in population one
hundred per cent. during the last year, its
trade is growing, and in every respect it is in
a Aourishing condition. We stopped at
Hickman last fall, and were surprised at the
marks of business and progress everywhere
exhibited about the place. Not only are
new houses going up, and business of every
kind increasing, but the citizens were show.
ing the proper spirit of enterprise in making
"a handsome wharf. It is situated in rich
country, for which it is the principal shipping
and receiving point, and this country is rap.
idly filing up with new settlers. All the
elements Of prosperity are with it, and the
place is bound to continue rapidly increasing
in Importance. Under these circumstances,
it would be well for Mechanics and others
looking out for a new location, to consider
the advantages # Hickman. At this large
sale, the strongest inducements will be offer.
ed owners of small capital to obtain homes oil
their own. The terms are unusually easy
as will be seen by advertisement. The sale
will take place May 2lst, and we are satisfied
that rapidly as Hickman has been improv.
ing, it will grow still faster after numbers
of new corners have purchased property
with the intention of making Hickman theil
future place of residence.

to Mr.. Robert Stewart, his Foreman. He
also thanked the citizens of Evansville for
their kindness toward him, and for the many
expressions Of good feeling he had witnessed

Everybody has his suggestion to make as
to the origin of the Know Nothings. A live
ly correspondent makes the following con-
irritation to the pile Of conjecture:
Speaking of Know No,hingism, have an
other good one TO tell you. 1t came from a
Louisianian. Our friend boosted of having
particularly studied tie Know Nothings over
twenty years ago. and been their proselyte.
The way and occasion was as follows:
Crossing. some twenty years ago, one Of
the extensive prairies of Illinois or Missouri,
we forget which. our friend found himself
late in the evening completely at loss as to
his path. A sea of meadow was before him,
its green surface waving regularly to the
breeze, and everything betokened house
less traveller and lonely night.
Suddenly he caught glimpse of smoke,
and hurrying to it he found little cabin,
with buxom, handsome woman of some
twenty five years, its only occupant.
Without aighting from his horse our friend
frs, inquired for his way. s
"My good woman, which is the way to
P---!"a little settlement, as he thought
some ten miles off.
IL know nothing about it at all" was the
rather unsatisfac Glory answer.
"Well, my good woman, how far from here
is the main road to d." mani ng the
point or his destination, again inquired the
anxious traveller. ftl ras3Ft
81 know nothing about that, either" re-
piled the occupant OF the cabin. ,,..
"But, my good woman, you certainly mus,
know the road to ST." naming the
place which he had left that morning.
81 know nothing about that either, l tell
Iye," once more broke from the lips Of the
| fe male.
"Weli, madam, / am sorry for that; but can
you tell me the road to any place!" finally
inquired our friend, thinking that some in.
formation, no matter what. was better than q
vast negative Of knowledge.
81 tell ye knows nothing whatsumever
I'm just married. Can't you be satisfied"
And our friend, when he heard this, was
satisfied, and wendell his way in search oil
some other pathfinder. To this day he claims
that lady as the first "Know Nothing" and
himself as the first disciple.

to apply at once to the Supreme Court for
mandamus; and parties on the other ticket
propose to apply to the Superior Courts of
this city for similar order. The immediate
result of this will be a clashing of jurisdic-
ton.
The Gazette hopes that a new election
may be ordered so that fair expression of
the people may be had. AS to the causes Of
defeatthe Gazette says:
There are divers reasons that may be given
for 1t, but one is sufficient to explain it,
The ticket was not such an one as should
have ,been-pre Sc nted-not but there are good
men upon the ticket, but because, taking it
as a whole, il fell below public expectation.
We say this in all fairness, and we can say
it now without any one iimputing to us un.
worthy or improper motives; because we sup
ported the whole ticket in our columns, and
voted for it at the polls. Taken as whole
it was as good as the one placed in opposi-
ton to il, but it was not one worthy of the
American party. 1t had not the gloss or the
odor Of pure truth. It bore hackneyed
look. 1t smelt of the shop. There were
office. seekers upon it. 1t was not composed
of the best of the city. 1t bore no instinct.
i've or innate prestige of success. 1t was a
drag from the beginning. Men who expect.
ed first rate ticket were not satisfied with
mere common place arrangement. Men
who were outside Of the lodges conceive ed
that they had right to have their wishes
regarded in some degree. There was toe
much ..exclusiveness exhibited. The out.
siders were not conciliated. The foreign
Protestant vote was driven off, and the high
toned conservative men saw nothing in the
ticket to attach them to it. Hf
With a proper ticket the Gazette thinks the
Americans could have carried the election
easily and we doubt not that il is right.

but a victory is a source of unmixed rejoicing,
and conuratulsrion with the victors. To-day
we celebrate one of the victories Of peace; a
great victory; victory over obstacles which
providence has wisely placed between man
and his highest earthly prosperity. and
which the same providence has ordered
should be overcome by the labor, the
energy and enterprise OF man. II has been
ordered that man shall labor and strive in
the attainment of any great good. Especial
ly is this the case in developing the mineral
we resources OF the world. The cause in
which you are engaged, the success in which
this day celebrate is the same cause which
has done more than any one cause to make
England the richest if not the greatest ma.
ton on the earth. Her spindles and her
looms have done much for her, but her coal
mines and miners have done more. been at
the bottom Of her great prosperity and have
driven her spindles and her looms and sup.
ported her armies and her navies.
In America the same coal interest is fast
rising into power and significance. and to
no set of men is she moreindebted at this
day for her unparalleled advancement in all
the arts Of civilized life, and in greatness as
q nation. than to you miners. masters and
men. You have all done the State some
service. May her justice and her protection
benefcently recompense you all.
To Mr.. Kersteman is especially due, for
his enterprise, his energy, his perseverance,,
which have held out to the end, and are now
crowned with success, the lasting gratitude
of the people of Evansville and its neighbor-
hood. May his deserts be every way award
ed to him.
A number Of regular toasts were read
from different parts of the hall. We were
unable to gather them up for publication
Mr.. Kersteman warmly expressed his graft.
tude to the press Of Evansville, and in en-
swer to call, Mr.. Hall, Of the Enquirer, Mr..
Deitch, of the Reform and Sanders of the
Journal, responded. After a number of toasts
and responses to calls, in which the miners
participated. the company separated in the
best possible spirits. 1t was very pleasant
celebration altogether, combining the prac.
teal and generally agree able in delightful
manner. We close hoping that Mr. Kerste.
man and his miners may realize all the goot
wishes they received last Saturday.

ONE OF THE SIGNs.-About month ago
the canal boat P. H. Woodard started up the
canal with trade cargo, among which were
about twenty barrels of whisky. She re-
turned last week with thirteen Of the twenty
barrels. The people above, many of whom
were thought to use whisky ss milk, refused
to take il at any price. They said they went
in for this new liquor law. and were going
to give it a fair trial, and didn't want any
more whisky! Ifthat is not one Of the signs

prevailing, we do not know what could be
