Indiana.

The Slave democracy are evidently
frightened, They behold the hand-wri-
ting on the wall and tremble at the short
ness of their allotted days. Determined
however 10 make desperate struggle for
Slavery and the Offices, they are concen-
trating their talent in Indiana. Cass,
Douglas, and other of their noted WARRIOR
ses, have taken the stump in that state !;
and contrary 10 the usual eiquet, Breck
enridge, their candidate for the Vice-Pres-
idency, has also gone TO Indiana TO show
himself and make speeches.
We opine however, it will be cloves
labor lost" The people of Indiana m-
dersland too well that those men are gross
deceivers-politicians by trade and Office
seekers for the spoils. The blood of
their fellow statesmen, SHoMBRE. and
otheIs, who went to Kansas under the
invitation of squatter sovereignty, con-
tanned in the black democratic deceptive
and lying Kansas bill, and there murder
ed, because of their advocacy of freedom
and Justice, calls loudly into the ears Of
Indiana for revenge. Surely the blood Of
Indiana's martyred sons in Kansas, will
nourish such sentiment of freedom in
that state as will send back Cass, Douglas
and Breckenride, bowling to Pierce, Bu'
chanan and their slave masters. that theil
prospects are as black as their Negro
whipping and slave principles. Indiana
the second born of the ordinance Of 81
will be faithful to Freedom and justice

ouakers Attacked in Kansas.

A letter appeared in the Friends Re-
view Ofa fortnight since, from which we
quote as follows:
ave feel our position to be a pecu-
liarly trying one. Under the present ex-
cited and unsettled state of things in Kan
sas, it is not likely that other friends will
soon join US by immigration, and we do
not feel at liberty TO leave the territory,
critical as the state Of things around us
may seem to be. Under the gross out
RACES and grievous wrongs which are i'm
posed upon the people Of Kansas, it re-
puires close exercise of faith for man Of
qeace 10 maintain his principles. tits
not human nature to maintain the right
kind Of feelings towards the wicked
perpetrators Of the wrongs we suffer,
1t is only bya close exercise Of Chris
tian faith that this can be done and sup
posing one to have gained the victory over
wrong in his own breast, his work is but
half accomplished. F.
Ifdefense warfare could be justified in
any case, it would seem 10 be so in the
present one and while the people in
Kansas, generally, are preparing for de-
fense, and calling upon all 10 do the same
the advocates of peace can but feel them
selves placed in trying position, not
knowing at what hour they may be called
upon to test their faith in the principles OF
peace. We know not but what we may
be required 10 seal our testimonies with
our blood, Some ofour mum ber has been
threatened with violence. but so far as we
are certainly informed, none has yet been
offered, though it is rumored that one
friend in a distant part has been shot, but
not mOrtally wounded.
We are sensible that our position is one
liable to trial, andcalling for the sympa'
lhies and judicious council of eur breth'
rem. Doubtless it is only by strict adj
herence to Christian faith, and dwelling
near the Father of Mercies, thai we shall
be enabled to pursue the right course.

A Correction.

Mr.. RAGAN with your permission,
I desire to correct report which was
first circulated some six weeks ago, in
this city, and was subsequently published
in the Steubenville Herald, viz: That /
had charged an exorbitant price for haul
ing the baggage belonging to stranger,
from the Depot to one Of the Hotels of
the city. The facts Of the case are these /:
A gentleman called on me at the Depot
to take his trunks, FIVE in number, to
some suitable public house, and inquired
the name of the Hotel by which was
engaged. | replied that I was not en-
ployed by any particular house, but named
the U. S. House as a suitable one, he re-
piled, that that was the one 10 which he
desired to go. Upon my arrival at the
U. S. House, the gentleman not having
followed me, the proprietor paid m so cts
for the load, (ten cents for each trunk sta
ting that the gentleman would settle the
amount in his regular bill. l was subse'
quently requested to remove the trunks
to the Washington Hall, where the
stranger had been induced to stop, by the
eloquence of Charley Hale. Irefused to
do so unless he would agree to pay me a
fair compensation for my labor. This is
the true state of the case, 1t will be
seen that my charge was the same as the
rates which the city council has since fix
ed by an ordinance (which is supposed tc
have had its origin in this very case FOL
hauling trunks &c. l should not have
said anything concerning this matter, hat
l not been recently informed, that it is
still misrepresented, and to my injury.

Was ever the fabric of party so com.

Hitherto its adherents lauded Washington,

Now we witness the anomalous con.

sons most bitter opponents. Now they
endorse and sustain an Administration
which has cOnnived at ounages commit

AN INcIDGNr OF THE WAR.-A few
Sundays since, says the Cork Qreland)
examiner. young and interesting coun-
try girl, plainly but neatly dressed, was
standing, among group CT anxious and
agita ed people, Oh the steam packet quay,
evidently awaiting the arrival of the Lon
don boat, which, it was expected, would
bring home portion of the troops return
ing from the Crimea. As the boat ap-
preached the quay, the young woman OF
whom we speak recognized him for whom
she evidently was anxiously and impa-
tiently waiting, and in few minutes was
recognized in return. Kind and fondly
greetings passed between them the
young woman waved cordial and heart
felt welcome, and her husband acknowl-
edged her salutalions. When the ship
touched the quay she rushed on board,
and eagerly making her way to the place
where he stood, she reached out her hand
to bid him welcome again 10 home and
friends, when the poor fellow falLered for
a moment, unable 10 repress his emotion,
turned away from her and burst in o tears !;
both arms had been shot away! The
poor woman hid her face in her handker-
chief, and retired 10 the side Of the ship,
where she could indulge her griei with
out observation, and many of the specta-
tors who happened to witness the scene
we're almost as deeply affected for the
moment.

Movement in Virginia.

The Wcllsburg (Va.) Herald, publish
ed in the "Pan Handle" contains a
communication on the subject of Slavery
ia Virginia, from which we make the
following short extract:
We are taxed to support slavery; the
clean cash goes out Of our own pockets
into the pocket of the stakeholder, and
this in many ways. will no, allude to
but two. If slave for crime is put to
death or transported, the owner is paid
for him out of the public treasury, and
under this law thousands are paid out
every year. Again, standing army is
kept up in the city of Richmond for no
other purpose than TO be ready to quell
insurrection among the slaves this is
paid for out of the public treasury annu-
allv. This standing army is called the
public guard, bat it is not less S anding
army always kept up. We will quote
from the act of 1856 the expense of these
two items TO the State, on the 23d and
24lh pages of the act: "To pay for
slaves executed and transported, twenty
two thousand dollars" "To the public
guard at Richmond, including the interior
guard of the Penilentiary, twenty.four
thousand dollars"
This, I've it noticed, is for only one year,
making near fifty thousand dollars for
these two objec in one year but it Can
be shown by the present unequal plan OF
taxation between slave property and other
property, that this is but small item Of
our cash pocketed by the STAKEHOLDER. and
yet some will say we have no reason tc
compain.
