From the V. B. Intelligencer, Feb. ls. Col. T. c. Hindman, Jr., and his / Appointment at Van Buren.

Saturday last was glad day for the demo- cracy of Crawford county. In compliance with notice previously given, Col. T. c. Hind man, jr., of Helena, visited our city and ad- dressed large, intelligent and enthusiastic as- semblage of our citizens, in advocacy of the principles and opposes of the democratic party. Upon rising to speak, Col. H. stated that he had been threatened on his way hither, with an encounter with some one of those gentle men of the Know Nothing party, who had achieved for themselves the distinction of its leaders in western Arkansas, and most of whom he had ascertained were present He had al. ways observed his party custom of dividing time in discussing his party principles, and now invited any Know Nothing present to meet him in debate. Col. J. T. Humphreys, of this city, arose as the champion of signs and grips, and agreed to the arrangement of time proposed. Col. H. opened with an hour and half, in which he clearly and concisely urged upon his hearers the only true and prac- tical issue at this time before the southern peo-
 pie, and insisted that they should not permit the leaders of the lanterntes to divert their minds from it. He reviewed the history of the legislation of the country upon the ques- ton of slavery, the ordinance of 1787, provid- inc for the government of the country northwest of Ohio; the acquision of Louisiana; the trans- fer by Spain of the territory of Florida; the contest on the admission of Missouri; the an- nexation of Texas; the struggle in regard to the territories obtained from Mexico, and the advent of California into the Union. These events he lucidly portrayed as necessary to the proper presentation of the vital points now
 before the people of the south, and embodied in the Kansas N ebrasks till He forcibly deduced

Southern Know Nottingham.

Why should southerners prescribe Catholics and foreigners? Do Catholics or foreigners dis turb, or lnjure society at the south? Have we not enemies enough At the north to contend With, without stirring up two other parties\to oppose us? There Is but little immigration to the south, and there was no complaint among us, of either Catholics or immigrants, until the Know Nothing party arose at the north. That party has joined the aboiitionists. The pro- scrlpon of foreigners at the south, is cAlculat- ed to alienatc their attachment from the people. and the institutions. who thus prescribe them The south. already in minority, cannot afford to lose friends, or make new enemies. She might by pursuing the path of common fair 1 ness equity and justice, make host of warm and constant friends. We weigh our words as we write. We mean, that to allure foreigners and Catholics to this country, by holding it up to them as the asylum of the oppressed, where they would speedily be admitted to the equal rights of citizenship; to induce them to settle among us by such promises, and then to violate our promise to telay the fruition of citizenship, to deny them, when qualified, the equal right to hold office, and to prescribe them, forever, for difference of religion--is violation of vest ed rights and plain and palpable departure from fair dealing justice and equity As to those who lmmlSrate hereafter, we may, with out breach of faith, or moral wrong, prescribe such terms as we please They accept the terms by immi igrating, and cannot complain of injustice, however cruel those terms. But, in the south, we know, there Is no occasion what ever to change the treatment, or the law, as to foreigners and immigrants.
 Instead of following the lead Of Yankee abo- litionlsts, if the south will do what is just and equitable in this matter, it will display its wonted steadfastness, consistency and conservatism, win the respect and esteem of the world, and mak e host of friends, north and south
 Can the Democracy, in or out of Congress, hold terms with or compromise with a party that cooily proposes by an expost facto procecI- ins to cut off from the equal rights of citizen ship very large and highly respectable portion of our people? We say, certainly not.
 The Virginia Know Nothings have asserted the individuality and free agency of men, by ceasing to be the oath bound instruments of midnight lodges. We congratulate them on the occasion, whilst we regret that the very equvocal position which they, at the same time, assumed as to the Botts clique and south ern rights. seems bnt the pulling one leg out of the miro in order to put the other deeper into it.-Richnso,d Enquirer.

more than at this hour. They are not needed to guard any one interest of the country, but every one; to maintain our written constitu- tion, which, under providence, protect us all; and to secure and perpetuate the blessings of sound and wise administration. They will be needed in all coming vicissitudes, whether of war or peace, diversity or prosperity. It is al- most the only association of men, political or religious, which sectional strife and fanaticism has not utterly prostrated; certainly the only one which has power to cast out the political evils which afflict the nation, and menace its life. Let its once victorious legions be again summoned to the field of controversy. Let its voice go forth as of old, cheering the hearts, and arousing the courage, and re- -animatng the hopes of its friends. And let every one who has named its name and professed its faith in former years, strive with earnestness and sin gleness of purpose for the attainment of these ends; remembering that "a house divided against isself cannot stand"

From the x. Y. Journal of Commerce, Jan. I6.

E Fron the N '. Journal of Commerce, Jan. 10. TIE DEMOCRATIC ADDREss-On to- day's s .o will be found so much of the address Ionted bv the democratic convention al Syra- snss with only one dissenting voice. as relates <, slavery. This address is understood to have s,en written by NICHOLAS HILL, esq, of Alba " who as chairman of the committee. report iit to the convention. It is full of patriotic E entiments. worthy of the palmest days of the E iamocrscy It endorses the principle of the H Tobraska law, and is severe in its denunciations A .,;nst sectonaism. Whatever it lacks of the E f7 measure of conservatism professed by the
 unnkers, would follow as a matter of course, . !t the latter would meet them as frisnds.-
 arsnatsd indeed for time, but now reconciled.
 what prevents such reconciliation to-day?-
 yot any substantial difference of principles, but
 nesonal resentments and ambition. A few l.,dipe men of the hards are so ultra-conaerva-
 i've. that, instead of co ooperating with their de-
 ,nocratc brethren in securing the ascendancy
 of such principles, they must needs play into
 tbe hands of the "black republicans" If it sbould please Providence to remove these few
 men "by death or otherwsse," the democratic
 nartv in the State of New York would again
 become unit, and therefore victorious. While tbev continue divided, nothing can await them bntdefeat and disgrace. In several other States inc old fashioned democracy are recovering tbeir position. The States of Maine and Wis. consn have recently elected Governors of the right stamp and Pennsy ylvania has chosen a conservative democrat to the U S. Senate.- The republicans have succeeded in only two States within the past six months, viz: Yer mont and Ohio. It is doubtful if they carry any other. Evidently the whole scheme of abolition republcanism is failure. Its dan gerous character is truthfuly portrayed in the address before us. Let it be contemplated and abhOrred.

 MR. EDIToR.-Our judicial election passed off very quietly, the result of which you have already been advised. Stth, the Know Moth ing candidate, although having received but a little over onethird of the votes cast, is elected The combined vote of Conway and Cullen, the two democratic candidates, almost doubles that of Stith-hence we may reasonably infer that the dark-lantern party IS not very strong in the 9th judicial dstrict-snce it was made party contest, and party lines strictly drawn. The Telegraph the organ of the Know Nothing party, in late humber, asserted that men o, all parties voted for the three different candi- dates Now so far from this assertion being true, know of but four or five Know Moth. ings who voted for Conway, and but few de- mocrats who voted for Stith, and 1 was at the polls from the time they were opened until they were closed. The members of each party strictly adhered to the candidates throughou, the voting.
 Dark lanternism is on the wane in this sec. tion of the State. In few more months, and there will be but few old-line. democrats in its folds. Many oldline whigs have lately come out At their last meeting general stampede took place-abont thirty withdrawals, I am credibly informed, took place.
 There is much speculation hereabouts as to who will be the candidates for Governor of the two parties The firm and steadfast course o1 Gov. Conway, during his administration, is highly approved by our people; and, with but few exceptions they are in favor of his renomi- nation. Borland, appears to be the favorite o the dark -lanternites. Rest assured that whoever is the standard bearer of the time honored de- mocracy, in the coming contest, that old Hemp. stead will roll up an overwhelming majority and, in fact this whole section of country will give large democratic majority.
 / Respectfully,
 OBSERVER.

CT Queen Victoria refused to see her maid of honor, the Hon. Miss Murray, upon her re- turn from the United States, because she had written her candid opinions on the subject of slavery; and her foolish majesty caused it to be intimated to Miss Murray that, if she publish ed her book in defence or e1tenuation of slavery she must resign her place. Being free born white English woman, the maid of honor ao- cordingl y resigned, and "is no longer mem Der of the royal household" Not being able to write English herself, and being in fact a lady of feeble mental capacities, the queen na- turally resents Miss Murray's writing book at all; but that she should presume to write a word in favor of an institution which the queen and a. large portion of the British arstocracy who are pampered on the toll and misery oi the people, join with our avowed disunion fan in denouncing, is such an outrage upon anti-sla very royalty as must be punished by proscrip tion to the full extent of royal power-Bos ton Post.

HoN. JAMES BUcHANAN-The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian publishes the following extracts from private letter to gentleman ofthat State, from MT. Buchanan:--
 "You refer to the connection of my name with the presidency. * This neither desired nor expected. The movement in my favor has, therefore, originated without my pre- vious knowledge or consent, and I should be quite satisfied should another be selected.
 The next will be the most important and re- sponsibe presidential term since the last war with England, or, perhaps, since the origin of the government. Both our foreign and our do- mestic affairs will require the guidance of an able, firm and skilful pilot to steer the vessel of State clear of the breakers. 1 pray heaven that the best man may be selected for the crisis and to me 1t is matter of indifference whe- ther he comes from the north or the south, the east or the west'

From the Washington Union, Feb. A Sneaker Elected

The protracted struggle for the speakership was brought to close last evening by the eec- ton of Hon. N. F. Banks Nine full weeks were consumed before this result was attained, and It was hnally brought about by the adop- ton of the plurality rule. Although it is ab- solutey certain that there is majority of the representatives in the House who agree with Mir. Banks on the sectional questions which now agitate the country, yet it has been de- monstrated again and again, that portion of bis own political friends would never agree to vote for him for speaker, and hence that he could never be elected by a majority vote.
 As we have remarked the contest was finally termInated under the operation of the plurality iuie. me votes taken during several days past nave indicated that speaker could only be cho- sen oy resorting to that rule. There was strong repuSnance amongst the national members to its adoption, more especially after the revolting declaration of Mir. Banks as to the test of supe- riority in the races The southern Know NothlngS manifested determination aoaipst casting their votes for the ,.emocrtaic nominees not less persistent than their refusal to vote for Mr. Banks. On Friday, however, propositions were made by democrats to which the south crn Know Nothings indicated disposition to accede-the one proposing MT. Aiken, na- tonal democrats, for speaker. The votes on these propositions, compared with that given on the same day on resolution declaring Mr. Banks the speaker, showed so little difference that it was exceedingly doubtful what would be the result upon the adoption of the plurality rule. At this point MT. Smith, of Tennessee, believing that the chances of MT. Aiken were at least equal to those of Mir. Banks, brought forward resolution for the plurality rule. Mr. Orr immediately withdrew internationally his name as the democratic nominee and the reso- lution was adopted. The result was, as we have stated, the election of Mr. Banks, receiv- ing 1O3 votes and MT. Aiken 1OO-six national Americans throwing their votes on Mr. Fuller and four republicans throwing theirs on Mir. L. D. Campbell. It IS apparent that perfect union of the national members (the four repub- licans voting for Mr. CampbelD would have elected Mir. Aiken by plurality of three.- Thus has ended the most extraordinary strug- gle that has ever occurred. Although the re- suit Is one which every national man will regret, yet, as the republicans have known majority in the House, and therefore Were entitled to the speaker, there is reason for acquiescing, inas- much as 1t enables the machinery of govern ment once more to move on.

The Trick,

Developments go to show that the election of Banks, as speaker. was the result of sneak ing trckery. On Friday Messrs. Whitnsy,
 Walk, Brown, etc., national Americans" from the north voted for Mr. Aiken to be speaker. On Saturday. these same gentlemen, with Davis, of Maryland, voted for Fuller, and thereby really for Banks-showing that the movement of the day before was intended to throw dust in the eyes of the democrats The Washing ton Star says that it is generally believed that if the votes of Whitney, Valk, Brown, etc, had been necessary on the final trial to secure the election of Mir. Banks, he would have received them; their purpose of creating the impression at the south that the Simon pure Know Noth- ings of the north were disposed to stand by the right of the slave holding States, having. as they thought, been secured by their act of so long preventing an organization, under tho pre- tence of indisposition to drill under the com mand of MT.

 road Stopped by Mob.
 Yesterday afternoon, as the cars on the above road were nearing wrenceburg, Iud.. from this city, they were prevented proceeding by a crowd of infurated laborers and mechanics, who swore that no more traffic should be done upon the road until the arrears due them were liquidated. Expostulation seemed only to in- flame them, for they declared that they would tear up the track and demolish the cars, if the engineer attempted to proceed. when, finding it useless to contend against an overpowering force, the word was given and passengers, bag gage and freight returned to this city. It is said that the men have been suffering severely in consequence of their pay being withheld, many of them, with their wives and children, during the late severe weather, having been compelled to find shelter in barns and out houses.-Cin.
