A Terrible Task.

"Natine" actually makes our hair stand on
end" at the wild daring of his threatened ut
erary exploit. Shall we stop him-or shall
we permit him to boldly rush to destruction,
probably carry us with him? Read his
communication, Did you ever see the like OF
it? There is something sublime in the cool
impudence with which he discusses the subject
of making note of the Bellies of Evansville.
There is kind of moral grandeur, too, in the
calmness with whck he pokes his head in s
fire that will scar him to the brain, or at least
leave him minus his wool and a SCARED, face.
While we sincerely pity the fate Of the young
man, in view of the contingency that he may
be found out, and afterwards be scratched
from one end Of Evansville to the other, even
to that distant corner where reside a bevy OF
sweet belles-we will cen let him rush on. We
give his introductory communication to-day
The gires need not try to- coax or bride US into
keeping MATINEE out of the paper. He is IN
now, and we are going to see what he has to
say about our bellies. The penalty be on his
own head. We shall not bear single thrash
ing on his account nor even.the pouting of a
rosy lip. We can only say for him-that he
knows what he is writing about, and we be-
lieve, though an ardent admirer ofdU oursweet
girls, perfectly impartial. Now go-ahead
among the sugar-pl uums Natine.
P. S. While Natine isdiscussing "the bellies
of Evansville" can't he slap it into the ole
cracked bell of the Sherwood House?

OF The editor of the Southern Illinoisan
certainly ought to know what Democracy is
He is an old Democratic editor, and is now
publishing Democratic paper at Shawnee
town, Ills, though opposed to Douglass In
a late issue he says:
What is Democracy? In Illinois it means
just now, to halloo for Douglas-get in office,
gain wealth by the dishonest means afforded
by your official standing, and retire to some
secluded spot and spend your remaining days
in princely style, considering yourself one Of
the lucky dogs" of earth. Cast contempt
uous glance upon poverty whenever its paid
form may chance to greet you-look upon her
children as the menials of earth, fit only 10 do
your bidding-and laugh in your sleeve at the
easy manner in which you gulled them, in the
name of democracy, to gain the wealth which
you enjoy. This is a tolerable fair picture Of
an Illinois Douglas democrat.

Kansas Affairs.

The St. Louis News makes the following
remarks about the strife in Kansas, and there
is some sense in its ideas:
One thing is certain if the law loving and
orderly citizens of Kansas will not volunteer
to put down the Lawrence rebels, it shows
clearly that the Laurence rebels IN the right.
hitherto, we have been told that they had
committed murder rapine and divers outra-
ges-had driven pro-slavery men from their
homes, insulted their wives and children, and
burned their houses; had rescued culprit
from the hands of the Sheriff, raised the stand
ard of iusurrection, and defied the law and the
laws executors. This is what we have been
told by their enemies; but we must wait pa
tiently for the other side of the story before
we form a judgment
We cannot believe the half Of this very i'm
probable tale; for, Il tie people of Lawrence
have perpetrated these atrocities, how happens
it that the Governor can't End enough cool
citizens to put them down? The citizens o.
other towns in the Territory side with the
people of Lawrence; and Gov. Shannon finds
himself calling on Mssourians and the Presi-
dent for aid to put down, not small body o
insurrectionists, but practically the whole
population of Kansas.
If Shannon has reused the whole people, oil
what amounts to the same thing, majority o
) the people of Kansas, and driven them to taks
up arms against him, it proves that ne is unti
to be their Governor, and had better be re-
moved at once. He has called for foreign ait
to subdue and subject his own citizens. Doe
not this prove that the citizenS are not wrong

The LAW OF EvIDENcE-UN IvEasALIsTs
EXCLUDED FROM THE WITNEss-Box IN NORTH
CARoLINA.-In trial before the jackson. On.
CD superior court, Judge Mainly held that a
person protesting the doctrines of UNIVERSAL
ism was an incompetent witness, and in accor-
dance with that decision, ruled out two or
three witnesses. The decision gave rise to
some feeling of indignation among those who
profess the Universalist doctrines, and it ap-
pears from report of late state convention
of the denomination, that the following pream-
BILE and resolution were adopted:
Whereas, We have lea ned with surprise and
regret through tbs pubic press that his Hon
or Judge mainly, at the last superior court
of jackson, n c., decided that Universalist
are not competent witnesses in court of JUS
tice; and. whereas, we believe that such de-
cision not only fragrant outrage upon the in
creasing and respectable denomination of Chris.
tains called Univorsalists but unconstitutional
and and inimical to this republican govern
ment-
RESOLVED, That this convention proceed
forthwith to take such measures as they may
deem expedient to have their claims and civil
rights protected in this our boosted land of
civil and religious liberty.

THE AMERICAN Cause.-The Albany Reg
lister says the result of the late New York
election has brought thousands over to the
American side who did not before belong to
US. The American councils swarm with new
members, while the old and lukewarm are
animated with renewed energy and devo-
ton. From all parts Of the State we receive
the most gratifying assurances; and no par
ty ever had prospect like that which will at
tend the advent Of the American party tC
power. All this indicates the confidence fell
that the Americans will make wise use ofpow
er conferred upon them, and meet their re-
sponsibilties in a manner that will best pro
mote the general welfare.

rFor the Evansville Journal.l
The Bellies of Evansville.


Some years ago there appeared in the Home
Journal several charming portraits of the
Bellies of New York Now, in this there are
two very difficult points to initiate. First, it
is by no means an easy matter-perhaps an
impossible one--to attain the brilliancy and
truth of coloring and the exquisite delicacy Of
touch of the master pOrtraiteaw and then it is
scarcely possible for any other place, this side
of the sun, beside New York, to have genuine,
true-ringing Bellies. Especially does it bor-
der very closely on, if it does not quite reach,
the supremacy ridiculous, to talk about the
Bellies Of little swadling Western town, (and
Hoosier at that. And the righteousness of
the thing reaches an almost overpowering eli
max when one talks of their portraits after
the manner OF those touched off by n. Parker
Willis of the New York Queen-spirits of high
fashion. Is it snobishness? Perhaps it is. |
expect very much that it is carrying the train
and wiping the dust from the shoes of great
people. 1t is very likely that the livery of the
lackey will show very prominently. But des-
pite all this, the fact that Evansville has its
| Bellies, and that there is sketcher here, (who
may be an embryo Willis, and who has his
laubable ambition) makes any apology for
imitation as unnecessary, as it is for the bud
ding artists who study and copy Titan or Law
renee. We (who hope our day, by patient
study of our great exemplar in his Immortal
masterpieces, to essay higher subjects, though
possibly never to grasp the full magnificence
of those that fred his genius) propose to offel
to the world few specimens from our small
gallery of the bellies of Evansville "-mert
baby-steps towards the manly strides of him
who has gone before us. Familiar faces are
they all. Suns and moons and lesser stars
that have moved around among US for years
shedding their light upon us like gentle dew
upon the flowers. We all know them many
of US have admired them, some of US have
loved them. 1t will be pleasant to look upon
them drawn without abatement of beauty or
concealment of fault. 1t will be pleasant to tax,
them home to our tiresides, and study then
there, as we never studied their originals in
the hustle of society. Perhaps we may ge
to better understand them, and appreciate
them more justly. With this brief preface
will the public receive our little exhibition?
i ''lf thou art pleased, we'll;
l nnot--command me hence"

LIFE IN NAPOLEON, ARK-A gentleman at
Napoleon, writes to a friend in Evansville, that
there is no ne,cs in his town, the fever having
abated. He says, however, that "the b'hoys
get drunk as usual, and Shoot fight and break
each others heads-but that is no news. Three
men have been killed in nearly as many days.
Col. Luckin was shot through the breast last
week, but strange to say, the ball did not
touch vital part. told him l thought he
was very lucky man. The general opinion
of the bloods is, that it was devilish poor
shot! Another had his skull broken, and
another was knocked down and left for dead
From this letter, we should judge Napoleon
to be a stirring little place, and an admirable
spot for picking up items.
