The Princeton Mass Meeting.

As before announced Mass Meeting has
been called at Princeton, Gibson county, July
18th, of all persons in the District opposed to
the election of Hon. JAS Lockhart as our
Representative to Congress. We hope this
call will be republished in every paper in the
District not of the Old Line party. We have
already given the reasons rendering this meet
ing not only proper but necessary to place be-
fore the people man whom they may warmly
support and with good hope of securing his
election. The NJ ass Meeting is close at hand,
and every effort should be made to secure a
fill representation from every part of the
District at this meeting-so that it may be
the voice of the whole District, and therefore
powerful in its decisions We have certainly
scores of men in the District superior to
Judge I..ockhart in all the qualities necessary
for the proper representation of this District
in Congress-and mef too who can command
the vote of many of those, who while they
may not entirely sympathize with him in his
political opinions, would infinitely prefer vot-
ing for him to voting for man who has no
claims upon their respect, and who is not cal
culated to reflect honor upon his constituents
nor secure good to the District. We want a
man who has not been known as violent
partizan, but who taken fresh from the ranks
of the people, will understand their interests
as he is already secured of their respect There
are such men, most certainly. Let US then
cordially unite upon man of this kind, and
then elect him. It can be done.

WILLARD IN OLD WAYNE.-A correspon
dent of the Journal gives the following as
Gov. Wizards position in his speech at Rich
mond. a few days ago:
In discussing the slavery question Mr..
Willard again varied from his usual style OF
denouncing the freemen of Kansas, and pre-
tended to believe in the principle of self-gov-
ernment thereby carrying the idea that he
was in favor of the people of Kansas making
their own laws; but was very careful not to
say anything about Border Rufianism, either
one way or the other He took the position
that the Democratic party a0as the only party for
'0htcb the Free Soil party could cast their votes,
with any safety that the interests of freedom
would be properly defended"
Gov. Willard Belongs to party which calls
itself National; and yet, If he would make
the same speech south of the Ohio, he would
be compelled to leave the State to escape suit
of tar and feathers. Itis, however, the game,
to preach Soil at the North and Pro-Slavery
at the South and to quote the Nebraska Bill
in favor of either. 1t won't dot can't be
fish and fowl at the same time State Jour.

OJDr. Fitch addressed small crowd of the
faithful at Crescent Hall last Saturday night.
We had employment better adapted to the
preservation of respectable condition of NOR
ais than in listening to his speech-and SO evil
IDENTIFY had nearly every other man in the
community. We have heard several positions
assumed in his speech by DR.. Fitch, and if re-
ported to US correctly, he is as great knaye
as he is an unprincipled demagogue and his
speech was an insult to every intelligent man
who heard it, We have already give DR.,
Fitch more prominence than political huck-
ster of his quality deserves-but it has been
necessary to exhibit his utter deficiency in that
consistency and ordinary political decency
the want of which mas madehm marked man
even among Old Line leaders in this State.

Three Steamboats, Sunk.

The Cincinnati Commercial oflast Saturday
gives the following account of the sinking of
three steamers:
Capt. James ONeal, Jrs., new and elegant
steamer Moderator, which left here on Thurs
day evening on her first trip for St. Louis, was
so unfortunate as to strike root or log in the
channel above Rising Sun, yesterday morning
at one o'clock, causing her to sink in a few
minutes. She struck aft of the boilers, raking
her across to the stern. Her pilot Mr.. Harrl-
son Williams, Immediately run her on the bar
where she settled down in three and half feet
water on the starboard and four and half on
the larboard. The mail packet Moses McLel-
Ian was ascending at the time, and landed at
the Rising Sun wharfboat, in order to give
her plenty of room to come down. Her Off
GERS heard the noise she made in raking over
the snag, and supposed she had run into fat
boat, as the obstruction was unknown to them.
1t is supposed she struck the same snag which
snagged the Charlestown, it having been wash
down from its former place during the day by
the Lady Pike. Capt. Neal Immediately en-
tered protest at Rising Sun, and telegraphed
Messrs. Athearn & Hibberd, of this city to
send him down barge in tow of the Forest
Queen, and several ship-carpenters, and plenty
of pumps. We converSed with Mr.. Williams
last night, who is of the opinion the boat can
be raised but he fears her bottom is nearly all
torn out. The snag having changed its loca-
ton during the day, would have doubtless
proved "bitter pill" for the Mcclellan, had
not the Moderator gone down on it. The
Moderator has valuable cargo on board, in
cluding $50 tons of dry goods, which are ma
terially damaged. She was built at Pttsburg
by Capt. Alex. Dean, Capt. O'Neal and others,
at an expense of $4,000, and is, we believe,
pretty well insured in that place. She was
one of the lightest and best boats on our wa
ters. BIT last accounts fiat and barge were
alongside, and her cargo being removed as
speedily as possible. She parted her hog
chains soon as she struck. The Nettie
Miller, from Paducah to Nashville, Saturday
last, came in contact with log at Dover
Shoals, which caused her to sink. The cargo
was all saved, being principally liquors and
oils. 1t is thought she will be raised. The
Monticello, on her trip from Nashville to
Paducah, Friday last, struck a log near Bax-
ters landing and sunk. Supposed to be to-
tai loss. No insurance and had no freight on
board.

Fourth of July.

By notice it will be perceived that there is
call for public meeting at the Market
House this evening, for the purpose Of consult
ing upon arrangements for the celebration Of
the Fourth in some appropriate manner. As
the time is short, it is to be hoped that there
will be good meeting, and something done to
celebrate the day. The meeting has been
called by respectable citizens, who will be
both active and liberal in their efforts to secure
tainly not at so low an ebb in this city, that
some small public token of respect for the an
niversary of our independence may not be
yielded. Let citizens leave their business this
evening for an hour, and attend the meeting.

RESIGNATION OF SHANNoN.-The Missouri
Democra has information that Gov. Shannon,
Of, Kansas, has sentin his resignation, to take
effect on the 1st of July. The miserable
drunken imbecile has probably been compelled
to resign, in order to save the Democratic par
ty so far as possible from the odium which at
taches to his reign of terror. Murders and
robberies are still the order of the day in Kan
sas. Every armed party of Free State men
that is met by the U. S. troops, is certainly
dispersed; and it appears that some of the dra-
goons had brush with party of the chivalry
the other day, when few were touched by
bullets on both sides, and one of the chivalry
killed.

9TH. Clay Pate, generally and appropri-
ately known as Mud Head" one of the Kan
sas correspondents of the Missouri Republican
and the brave soldier who fought dreadful
fight Of three hours, with the grand total OF
one man wounded, then surrendered his party
to the Free State men-this identical mud
head arrived at Vincennes last Saturday and
took the cars eastward. Mud Head evidently
thinks himselfa mighty great man-especially
after that Phree Plight.

School Examinations.

The examinations of the scholars of the yari-
Gus departments of our public schools COM
menced yesterday. The examinations are
public, and the parents of pupils, and all in
terested in the excellent schools, should be
present if possible. There can be no bet
ter eulogy upon the institution than that
afforded by these examinations. There
are probably no better public schools in any
city in the country than we have in Evansville
As it is utterly out of our power to attend
these examinations, we should be thankful to
some friend if he would prepare daily reports
for the Journal. A capable person could ex.
hibit no better friendship for the schools than
by doing this. The scholars of Miss Streets
Primary School, of Miss Hooker's Primary
and Mr.. Redmunds school, were examined
yesterday. Miss Clark's scholars will be ex-
amined this morning, and Miss Fishers this
afternoon.

can Unpublished Chapter III the Proceedings Of
the Cincinnati Convention"

the Cincinnati Convention"
AS it appears in the New York Post of
Wednesday, which will show how perfectly
the cohorts of Douglas fuse with the legions
of Atchison
In the Committee on Resolutions, resolu-
ton was offered by the members from Virgin
ia and pressed with much earnestness, which
embodied in clear, direct and precise words,
the doctrine implied by the resolutions as they
stand, that the people of the territories have
no power over the slavery question till they
frame constitution for their government as a
State. The resolution declared in substance,
that slavery already exists constitutionally and
rightfully as domestic institution, upon an
equal footing with freedom, in the territories
of the United States that no act of Congress,
and no act Of any territorial legislature can
impair its obligations, or restrict its full and
equal privileges, and that the voice Of the peo-
pie of each territory can only be rightfully
and constitutionally expressed concerning the
restriction or enlargement of this ample con-
stitutional right when they adopt state con-
Stitution. This resolution was urged in com
mittee by the entire southern voice, save one
, or two members, and was voted for by Mr..
Clancy Jones, of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchan-
ans represcntatiye in the Committee, and by
i
Mr.. vallandigham, OF Ohio but after a dis
cussion, in which it was resisted by northern
members, not on its merits, but on the ground
that it would be fatal ayowal," anu Whlch
was protracted till two o'clock in the morn
ing, it was thought best to leave it out of the
resolutions agreed upon to be presented at the
Convention. The Southern members consent
ed at last that the platform should be so franz
ed, that the doctrine directly expressed in the
rejected resolution should be collected and in
ferred from the phraseology and position of
the other resolutions.
1t is worthy OF note that no objection was
made to the doctrins of the rightful existence
of slavery in their territories by the mere op-
Grafton of the constitution. No member OF
the Committee from the free States stood up
in his place to say that besides being miser-
able sophistry, it was vile slander upon the
constitution. The objection to it was making
an admission of which the enemies of the par
ty would take advantage-that the disclosure
would be certain to entail defeat upon the par
ty and its candidates in the elections.
The Evansville daily journal., 1856-07-01

OF Horace Greeley telegraphing to his pa
per from Washington the 25th says: "a gen.
tleman who saw Mr.. Sumner yesterday thinks
he will not be able to resume his seat this
session. His wounds are yet unhealed and
his nervous system completely shattered"
The Washington correspondent of the
Times says: "Senator Sumner came into
town to-day considerably improved in health.
although still much debilitated. 1t will prob
ably be fortnight ere he will be strong enough
Ia resume his seat in the Senate"

or We are informed by Mr.. Fitzwilliams,

or We are informed by Mr.. Fitzwilliams,
Deputy Marshal, that an error was committed
in the communication we published yesterday,
stating he had accompanied the Sheriff to the
Depot as one of his friends" on the occasion
of contemplated fight. He said he had
heard that such a. fight was to come of, and he
hunted up the Marshal, and with him proceed
ed to the Depot to preserve the peace. By
his own statement to us, the Sheriff of Van
derburgh county went out to the Depot, as
stated in the communication, for the purpose
of,having pitched fight with a man who ac-
companied him. Whether he backed out or
his opponent did, we know no farther than the
communication tells US. That is immaterial
but we do know that in going to the Depot
for the purpose be did, he has once more dis
graced his position, and proved himselfunwor-
thy the confidence of those who by their votes
made him Sheriff of this county.

Pic Mic at Hazleton.

We acknowledge the receipt of polite in
vitation from the Employees OF the Z. & G.
Railroad, through their Committee, to attend
a Pic Mic at Hazleton, July 4th. A special
train has been engaged for this Pic Mic, and
the Evansville Brass Band will be in attend
ance to help enliven the occasion. The cars
will leave the Depot at6 o'clock. We should
be delighted to attend this Pic Mic, but alb
sence from the city will prevent. Under the
patronage of the Employees of the Railroad
we are sure everything will be done to make
the occasion delightful to all. Hazleton is
situated some thirty miles up the road. Per-
sons attending the Pic Mic will be taken there
and back for dollar. The cars should be
crowded on that day.
