Of the foreign population to bloodshed,

Wing, Preston, on the day Of the cleo.

ligent American knows that these are
to blame. more than the unfortunate
victims Of their demagoguery. And

"In short. q successful attempt has
been made to place Protestanism In

bigotry. and the spirit Of prescription.
But the question now presses itself on
the attention Of the American public;
is this the true spirit Of Professionalism,
or IL II not 7"
We wholly deny that professionalism
has been thus surehargsd. and most
emphatically answer that such state
Of facts would render IL no longer pro.
testanism. It's very life and being is
roLERArroS. But this does not imply
that protestanism Is to be ignored by
politicians.
Our space will not allow Us to re-
view this plea further. II may be
said that the Cincinnati Times, has
said so and so, and the Louisville
Journal has endorsed the Times. But

G00DWIN's IMPUDFNCE.

Goodwin. of the Brookviile Ameri-

unprincipled politicians we know Of
Putting up great pretensions to fairness
he has not the first particle of that
virtue in his composition. Reckless.
impudent, and unprincipled, there is
nothing too little for him to stoop to
He was once, it will be recollected,
cowhided for lying on a respectable
gentleman, but that has not cured him
in the least.-Jacksonian.
Really Brother Robinson, you ought
not to take it SO to heart, because you
cant find any thing in that law to pro-
hibitthe expectation ofliquor. Itmay
be "mean" and ''impudent" for such a
STRIPPING as we are, to floor so great a
man rs you, but then you ought not tc
get SO mad about it. II you dom

tire from the contest. Verify VIZ

thing when we concluded to notice
you, and we should not have done i
at all if you had not been backed b.

you could have invented something
worse than that if you had tried

worse.
Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1833-1861, 1855-08-24

This is and ought to be an absorb
ing question Of conversation and
thought. 1t is one Of the most start
ling Jaets in the history Of our nation.
That twenty lives should I've lost and
many houses burnt in an American
city by an Infatuated mob, is no triiling
matter. The true inquiry should be.
into the cause Of II. regardless Of party
or personal considerations. We have
carefully examined both sides Of the
question and give the following as the
.sesuis vs v~s s@ss4;a~t;oas.
First, the city authorities Of Louis
vile are culpable in not providing a
sufficient number Of p oils, that every
citizen could have gone and voted with
out unnecessary delay. II appears
probable that il no time had been con-
sumed in challange votes. their would
have been barely time enough for each
TO have voted.
Second, the Louisville Journal was
guilty Of great wrong. in urging the
Americans to take possession Of the
polls and see that natives Mt least, had
an opportunity to vote, whether the
natulalized citizens had or not. There
is. and ought to be no priority Of rights
between native and naturalized citi-
zens. Hence the advice Of the Journ-
al was mischievous.
Third. From the best information
we can gather from the testimony Civ
en- in the case, great number of for
eigners were deferred from voting for
fear Of violence after what the Journal
had said.
Fourth. We can not discover the
least connection between the advice oil
the Journal or any act at the polls,
and the shooting. which gave rise to
the mob. This began in different
parts of the city and without any i'm.
mediate provocation. 1t is not alleged
by any one. that the foreigners who
began to shoot had been to the polls
or had been misused there or else
where.
Fifth. In each case tho shooting
began by foreigners, on unoffendins
passers-by; and they had been armed
for the occasion several days.
Sirth. The aggressors became th'
principal sufferers in the end.
Seventh. The Wing candidate 70
Congress. Col Preston. was discover
ed melting the foreigners to deeds c
! crulty.
Eight. The Mayor of the city
culpable beyond pardon for neglectin
his duty. Had he acted with tn
prompt1ess of Neal Dow. he woul
! have quelled the riot in 80 minute
and by taking the lives of a few riote'
ne would have saved the lives Of th
> victims.

Robinson's Last and Rest.

Our readers are aware that j. L.
Robinson. has devoted near two COL
u.nns a week to Rev. w. w. Hibben
ever since he began his paper. the
Preacher Killer. We believe that Mr..
Hibben has received the abusive epi-
thets thus heaped upon him, with en-.
tire silence. until few weeks ago.
when, in addition to himself. Robin.
son attacked the Quarterly Conference
OF Rushvile station. for daring TO en-
dorse Mr.. Hibben. ms Christian and
as n Pastor. Hibben seems to have
been governed by Solomon's advice. to
answer a fool according to hisfolly, and
such pen-lashing. Robinsons seldom
gotbef"re evenfrom Hackleman. Il was
so severe as to border on cruelty. We
were wondering how tho u. s. Marsh.
al. would regard II, until. we rcceiv.
ed the Jackspnian Of last week.
He alludes to 1t. and quotes parts
oft to show how merciless Hib.
ben was, and then reminds him that
such severity is very unbocoming a
a preacher. To rebuke him. and Mt
the same time guard against another
such castigation, he quotes about a
half column Of such scripture as these:
"rhe servant Of God should not strive"
Love your enemies and pray for those
that dcspitefully use you" &C.. We
hope Hibben will profit by the rebuks.
and henceforth meet his enemy only
with prayers and love-
But does II not put Robinson in an
unenviabIe position for him to thus vir-
tually acknowledge that he thought
Hibben's religious principles were u
guaranty that he might abuse him and
the church without measure, and fear
no retaliation but prayers aud love :?
He was evidently astonished at the
reply Of Hibben, and this quotation Of
scripture evidently acknowledges that
he would rather he would pray for him
than that no should reply to him in
his own style.
After this, We shall not be surpri.
sed to hear that the valorous Marsh
nj, who has shown himself a proper
representative Of the valorous Pierce,
whose fame will descend to posterity
associated with the bombardment OF
Greytown, has actually caned some
decrepid old lady. and to shield him.

defenseless woman or child, and quote

is right. Hibben should not have dis
