GEN. WM- J. ELL brrH Dear iS.r Our
attention has been cilcd|to the following
communication which Appdared in the Indi-
annapolis Journal of tls 3OIh nit.
lNplANAPoL N Jfbuary 30, 1856.
EDIroRs JOURNAL-GasrSkn Il heard read
IN your Issue ot the : St3astant, a paragraph
credited to the Lafayet'h JobTnai, and relating
to an ALTAR which occttHd between John O..
Walker aud two policetotiicers in Cincinnati.
From the manner in Which You speak of the
matter, | am satisfied thst yoH were not correct
ly posted as to the factSo6 the case for had
you been fully acquaintdAff IN those facts, and
also with those persons eohferned, your com
ments would have been Sc 4 nature quite diff
ferent from those expressed by YOU at the time
above referred TO. IwaJintimale' v acquainted
with the two persons whom the LAFAYETTE Jour
nal sees fit to call DRUNKkNffoLIcEMES-an cpl
tibet undeserved and ~falselEapplied i'm this case
as hundreds of respectable citizens of Cincin.
natl will testify. / am also acquainted with The
particulars of the case, and assure YOU that they
are falsely represented bytiIe paper. Justice,
we all know, in the handssof man, is too often
(under peculiar circumstances forgotten. and il
is not TO her, but to the wNlnserited popularity
and influence of a man wefiiloved by all who
knew him, the late Hon. Timothy Walker. of
| Cincinnati, who was a relative of the said John
G. Walker. that HE is iidsBb d for what the
Lafayette Journal calls an honorable discharge
at the time Of his trial, cd the murder of Mr..
Peter DavissOn.
Had J. C. W. been a po0 laboring man, not
blessed with the acquaidtanee of influential
friends, Justice might noahave been cheated.
nor might he have been deprived of the guar
dianship of the State OF Ohio, which was GER
tainly due him.
Should any proof of IL above assertions be
called for, it can be easiy6rnished, as also the
facts and particulars relltTg to the painful Oc.
currence which resulted Is the killing of Mr..
Davisson and woundingo f2dr. Delzell by John
c. Walker, both Of whou&>tre now dead, and
ter. Should any onedesft& more minute de-
for me to furnish sassa lsE oTEIII.
The person who has Justly earned the
reputation of a public libeller, by signing the
above malignant attack upon a worthy man,
is said to be a blind nan. This misfortune
should not, however, shield him from public
condemnation, unless he be, as is supposed,
the tool of some political knave who has
made use of him 20 subserve some selfish
end.
Inasmuch as Col. WALKER is now absent
from the city, and as you were a resident Of
Cincinnati at the time, and were, rs we
learn, conversant with the facts connected
with Col. WALKER's trial, we nave to request
that you will furnish rs a statement of the
same for publication.
Yours, very respectfully,

and that Mr.. BUCHANAN will retire from his
ministerial duties at st. James, as early as

is a guarantee that our interests will be placed

YANKEE RoBINsoN's AMPHITHgATER.--
Many Of our readers suppose, no doubt, that
this establishment is a small catch-penny
affair, not worth anything as a place OF
amusement. This is n great mistake, as the
performances on Saturday night plainly
prove. There has never. we have been as
sured. been a better performance in the same
line i'm this city. YANKEE ROBINSON is not
only a Snowman, but he has proved himself
n man Of energy and enterprise. On Satur-
day night he made his first appearance in
this city as a Clown and he made a most
decided hit. Indeed, he "done" the charac-
ter to the life, and in the most creditable
manner. 1t is not saying too much to pro-
nounce the performances at tho Amphithea-
tire on Saturday night the very best we have
ever had in indianapolis. The hOrseman-
ship was superior; the singing by Mrs. Ro-
GINsOS eXoellent-the Sayings and do
ings" Of the Yankee, both original and new
indeed, every thing appertaining to the exhi
bitiOn was of the first water" The second
performance at the Amphitheatre takes place
Wednesday evening when, VIC doubt not
the house will be crowded. The proceeds
are to be given to the Relief Fire Company

:. N. Prescription and the cons,tion.

BY HON. Howell COBB.
Tho sentiment is now abandoned and re-
pudiated. But is that reputation in good
faith? | have no doubt of the sincerity Of
individual members who publicly repudiate
t. But | ask you and l ask the country,
are we to coniide in the declaration that these
proscriptive doctrines are by the party aban-
dOned in good faith If not, then, my
friends, it is well enough to examine these
doctrines-to a~nalyse them, to see whether
they do not conflict with the first principles
of the Constitution, and whether they DO not
conflict with every honest impulse of n true
American heart. [Applause.l Ihave been
told by these gentlemen that they don't IN
tend TO persecute the Catholics. Let me test
the question for one moment, il L may be
permitted to indulge in a very short argu-
ment. You, rs members of a Know Moth
ing lodge, 60 into a council and there take a
solemn oath that you will not vote for any
man for office unless he be a native born cit
izen, in favor Of Americans ruling Anleri-
ca ;" or he he a Roman Catholic, then you
hold that it is the duty of every good citizen
net to vote for a Roman Catholic. You hold
that Roman Catholics ought not 10 hold Of
flee under the Government. You have
sworn to it. Now, whatever is right for every
man to swear to, must of necessity be right
to put into the Constitution. Now, il that
clause were proposed to be put into the Con-
s~titution, that no Roman Catholic should hold
Office, who would advocate it ? Who would
say that there should be interpolated into the
Constitution a clause, that no Roman Catho-
lie shall hold office? And yet the very mo-
ment that these gentlemen admit it Is wrong
to engralt such a clause on the Constitution,
that moment they admit hat it is wrong TO
take the oath. II it be right for YOU, as Vo'
tiers, to take the oath, it is right for you-s~s-
didates to take it. 1t is right for your candi-
date for the Presidency Of the United States
to take it. Suppose hat he takes that oath
that he viii remove from office every mar
who is q Roman Catholic. There is the oath
resting on his conscience. But, before he en-.
tiers on the duties of his Office, he Is required
TO take another oath 10 observe the Constitu
ton, and that oath is al, as President Of thu
United States, do solemnly swear that no re
ligiOus test shall be established for ofice."-
There rests on his conscience an oath, takeI
at midnight, in darkness and secresy, b,
which he pledges himself to allow no Catho
lie to hold Office, and here rests on him ano
ther oath, by which he has solemnly swor
that he should not apply the test Of re
ligion TO any man for Office. Where i
the escape for that mans conscience 2?
There is but one escape for il, and that is i
the people. lie must ask the people TO saw
his conscience, 10y never permitting him t
reach the place where he should take tn
second oath. Loud laughter and applause.
