Election of wallace-B ack Republican Indecen-
cy and Insanity.

The Black Republicans disturbed the peace
and quiet of the city outrageously last Satur-
day night. The immediate proximity and
even the incoming Of the holy Sabbath Cay
did not interrupt their wild and wicked orgies.
We are excessively panied to state, that
while Washington Street was illuminated
from end to end by huge bonfres kindled
with South Carolina pro-slavery tar barrels
previously prepared to illuminate free mig
ger Morton victory which did not happen to
be achieved, drunken men, having business
on both sides Of the street and a good deal
in the mud in the middle, reeled shameless
ly to and fro, unceremoniously elbowing peace
able citizens and making the tranquil night
hedious with their maudlia vociferations.
The wonder to us, indeed, is that the town
was not reduced to ashes--that the sun of the
hallowed day following did not look down
upon the fair metropolis Of Indiana heap of
charred and blackened ruins. The vigilance
of sober Democrats most Individually pre-
vented such a lamentable and irreparable
catastrophe which at one time was imminent
and, in truth, seemed inevitable. We
sincerely hope for the good name of the city,
and of the State, that such scenes may never
be witnessed in indianapolis again. 1t is
with extreme modification that we are COM
PEELED to speak thus publicly of what GER
tainly does deserve the severest condemna-
ton. But the lives and the property of citi-
zens may hereafter depend upon our words
ftly spoken.

Very Important INQUIRY

The New Albany Ledger inquiries if any
body can tell what has become of that high
ly respectable individual, Mr.. John D. De-
frees, Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee. The Ominious silence
since the election of one who was SO fire.
quently before the public in the Journal and
in "highfalutin" circulars, and bObbing about
individually and corporeally in every nook
and corner of the State, distributing German
handbills and fixing up things generally,
has created the most intense alarm among
his friends. They begin to suspect that he
has "gone into coventry" is on a visit to his
political uncle, or has been turned out to
grass like Nebuchadnezzar. 1t pains US to
state that we can throw no possible light
upon the question Of the whereabouts of the
great factotum of Republicanism. The last
that was heard of him in "these parts" he
was arranging for the receipt of that "thirty
thousand majority for Fremont, for the
purpose of sending it on to Arson Burlin-
game, of Massachusetts,, to aid in keeping
up the reputation of that gentleman as q
prophet.
But the Ledger does not stop here. 1t
grows importunate as its curiosity wakes warm
in reference to the unfortunate Chairman,
and wants to know what progress he is ma
king in procuring testimony to contest Gov.
Wizards election. On this point we think
we can enlighten the editor of the New Alba
ny Ledger, and our friends throughout the
State at the same time. The Chairman had
that little matter all "fxed up' some time
ago. The files Of the Journal are relied on
to show that Willard not only received the
Fillmore vote of the State, but that twenty
five thousand Irishmen" were imported
from Kentucky, Illinois and Michigan, and
that by that means Morton was cheated out
Of the 10000 or 5000 majority which legiti
mately belonged to him. If the testimony
Of the Journal needs proper authorization
~. D. DPS" certificate as Chairman Of the
Republican State Central Committee will, i
is supposed, be final and conclusive.
AS corroborative proof thevote of the STATE
at the Presidential election will be used Il
show the illegality of Willard's election. AZ
ter three weeks hard figuring, upon the mos
approved system extant, the Journal and j
d. d. are enabled to swear by the point Q
their beard, that the vote for Buchanan, tn
Fillmore vote, and the twenty-five thousan'
imported Irish votes, just precisely make VI
the aggregate vote received by Gov. Willard
on the 18th day Of October.
The Journal, a day or two ago, announces
that Morton was in town and was lookin
remarkably well. 1t is quietly whispers
about that he was hereto consult the "know
ing ones on the subject Of his first mossag
to the Legislature Of Indiana.

TRE LONDON TIMES ON SToNG DRINK-The
Times-the London Times-is a toper-or,
what is about the samoan apologist for to-
pers. In the course Of an article on the tenn
perance question, Mr.. Lawrence Heyworth,
M. P, observes that alchoholic beverages
serve only to excite sensual, not intellectual,
enjoyment. The Times is of an opposite
opinion. GAS piece of information" says
the "Thunderer' 1--WE must tell him that
myriads, Of ali classes, derive the most sen
sible intellectual enjoyment from the use Of
strong drink. They find in it all the powers
of the mind, not only imagination, invention
and humor, but attention, memory, judgment
and calculation itself. Not only are there
wits who cannot talk, orators who cannot
speak, painters who cannot paint without
this stimulant, Judges who cannot attend to
trials, scholars who cannot unravel a Greek
chorus, and men Of business in all depart
ments and professions who cannot do their
work without wine or malt liquors"

SARAH T. BOLTON .

OF The Albany Atlas and Argus touched
a tender spot when it alluded to the aid
which the Tribune has received from Demo-
cratic Postmasters in extending its circula-
ton. The Tribune howls and whines over
the prescription, as it is pleased to call it, but
we think it viii get very little sympathy
from Democrats or Democratic Postmasters
The latter will doubtless prefer to aid in the
circulation of papers advocating their own
principles while they have the right to do so
like other men. The Atlas and Argus re-
spends TO the Tribune's complaints as fol-
lows:
Of course, Pcstmasters will everywhere do
their whole duty to the Tribune, as well as
every other paper-giving it every possible
facility for transmission and delivery through
the mails. But beyond this and beyond the
line Of their official duty, neither the Tribune
nor any other paper has any claims upon their
services, and they will of course be expected
TO act in accordance with their political pre-
ferences, which will not be likely to lead
them to aid in the circulation of Black Re-
publican papers. On the contrary, they will
be glad to aid the Democratic cause by in
creasing the circulation, so far as in their
power, Of sound Democratic papers. We
take it that they have the same political
rights as men who do not hold Office, aud
that the obligation to exercise them in favor
of the principles of the party to which they
are, attached is enhanced, rather than de-
creased, by the fact that they are indebted
to that party for their official positions If
the Tribune has any claims--legal, political
or otherwise--upon the Democratic Post
masters to get up clubs to increase its circu-
lation, it would do well TO produce the evi.
dence to establish them.

Under this head the Columbus Indepen-
dent reads its party long homily which may
be more interesting to them than it is to us.
There are one or two salient points in it how
ever, which we are inclined to think will
carry with them the endorsement of public
sentiment
For instance. as one of the causes of the
weakness and ineficiency of the Republican
party in this State,t he Independent enumer-
ates the following
Second, The want of Central Organ wor-
thy of the name. 1t was the policy of the
Journal to carry water on both shoulders,
and TO please both the know nothings and the
snti-slavery men, and it succeeded admit
rably in disgusting both. We do not recol-
lect Of reading one searching and historical
article upon the slavery question in the Jour
nal during the last two years. 1t was all
surface work, shallow, childlike, and nom
descript. 1t gave neither tone to the coun-
try press, nor preserved the unity Of spirit.
Its course from beginning to end, as both the
Cincinnati Commercial and National Era have
testified, was jesuitical, hsartless and mercen-
airy. It endeavored to expel true anti-slave-
~ men and sell out the movement into the
hands Of its enemies. Its circulation is next
to nothing, and its influence bad everywhere.
We know Of hundreds Of Black Republic
cans who will say amen 70 that, and stick to
it ike cobler to his wax.
Then again, the Independent hatchets the

to say that the Independent is not right in
that? SID. D." would as soon see the Re-
publican party go to that place where folks
get scorched sometimes, as any where else,
provided he could have secured an election
to the United States Senate by the operation.
With all his figuring between Sambo and
Sam, he has missed his great and last figure,
and has now as much as he can do to look
after the damaged crockery Of his political
china-shop. We would, therefore, suggest
the Bedford Independent, the Madison Cour-
Ter, and other Republican papers who feel dis
posed to rake down j. ID. D. little more
harshly than ia perfectly agreeable to poor
human nature, whether il would not be bet
ter to postpone all decided demonstrations Of
that character till the foxy chairman can look
about him little and decide upon what
Jump he will make next. u -ra.et
We are not sure that j. D. D., like Napo-
leon the first, believes himself to be under the
guidance and guardianship of Fate but We

Presidency of the United States has caused

Of Europe. Our excellent friend Squire Bull

Pacific Railroad-Mr. Buchanan's L ct

AS the letter Of Mr.. Buchanan on the sub
ject of the Pacific Railroad viii undoubtedly
be the subject of comment both in the OPP
position and the Democratic journals of the
country, it becomes matter of general in
terest to know the position Of the President
eject in reference to measure of such vast
magnitude and importance. We content

LEGATION Of the letter, reserving all extended
comment for some future occasion:

To B. +. WASHINGTON, ESQ.,, Chairman of

communications from sources in California
entitled TO high regard, in reference to the

impossible for me TO answer them all, / deem
it most proper and respectful to address you a
general answer in your official capacity. In
performing this dutyfto the citizens Of Cali

ed by the Cincinnati Convention, because that
Convention has itself adopted a resolution in
favor OF this great work. l then desire 10
state briefly that, concurring with the Con-
vention, am decidedly favorable to the con-
.struction of the Pacific Railroad and de-
rive the authority to do this from the consti-
tutional power ito declare war; and the con-
stitutional duty "to repel invasions." In my
judgment, Congress possesses the same power
to make appropriations for the construction Of
this road, strictly for the purpose of national
defense, that they have to erect Notifications
at the mouth of the harbor of San Francisco.
Indeed, the necessity, with a view to repel
foreign invasion from California, is as great in
the one case as in the other. Neither will
there be danger from the precedent; for it is
almost impossible TO conceive that any case,
attended by such extraordinary and unprece-
denied circumstances, eau ever again occur in
our history.
Yours, very respectfully,
