Jhe Journal and the French Republicans


1t will be very nice piece Of business :"
for the Journal to shirk the charge of Aboli-
tionisnl, unless it shows more discretion, both
in its language and its associations, than it
has done for some time past. Its unquali-
fed endorsement of the rank Abolition her.
estes of the little French Republican meeting
at the Court House, few days since, will
do more 10 confirm the charge than can be
undone by all the denials it can publish be-
tween this and the day of election.
Notwithstanding the Journal has so little
regard for the writings and the writers of the
Sentinel we would remind it that, by some
strange coincidence, other journals, whose
claims to responsibility it would be no sacri-
fee of dignity on the part of our "good-na
'ured - cotemporary to recognize, have very
cordially come to the support of our foibles
and weaknesses. tr-.
The following, from the Cincinnati Tines,
may furnish the gentleman who does up the
amiable towards us with such inordinate rel
ish, through the columns of the Journal, a
momentary pastime just before sitting down
to his toast and tea" AS promoter of
digestion, its effects can be better known
when tested. All we have to say is-try it.:
"SoUSp on THE GoosE."-We find in the In
dianapolis Journal of yesterday, report of
French Republican meeting. The meeting
adopted series of resolutions, of which the
following is specimen
Resoiued, That they hypocrites and liars, who,
out of motives Of interest ambition, dare say
that the men who wOnld give liberty to the slave
disturbers OF the peace section ass and enemies OF
''aw and order, - and the Constitution. .Ir
The plain English Of this is, that it is Con.
stitutional for the people OF one State to inter
fere with the domestic affairs of those of a sis.
ter State, and that those who say it is uncon-
stiiutional to "steal niggers," or that in doing
SO, one ''disturbs the peace" and is can enemy
to the Constitution" are "hypocrites and liars"
This "knocks the socks" off of American Abo-
litionism. Those Frenchmen are certainly
sound on the goose question, and are entitled to
the thanks OF the millions of "hypocrites and
liars" who unfortunate as 10 have been
born in this country. The Journal precedes
the proceedings with the flourish "The French
all rIghti" Does the Journal subscribe to the
doctrines laid down in that resolution
Weekly Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1853-1861, 1856-08-07

OF The Journal bloviates somewhat over
what it is pleased to term "an outrage" upon
the person of one CYRUS Wick, formerly of
this city, a FREMoNT ultra nigger-wor-
shipper, Of the LUcIAN BARBOUR school
As the facts of the case reach us, we see no
reason why the Journal should whimper so
much about the matter, or shed tears of SYM
pathy for one who deserved the thrashing
which he received from the hands of one
whom he had deceived. We understand
that some three weeks since Mr.. Wick, who
resides at Martnsville, visited German set
tlement in Morgan county, upon an Abolition
mission, loaded to the guards with disunion
documents. Calling upon leading German
there, among other falsehoods, he stated that
ty ticket, men who were all Know Nothings.
This statement he made in so deceitful a
manner as to induce his new German ac-
ouaintance to believe the lie, at which he
was indignant Subsequently he ascertained
that the whole story was a fabrication, and
when Mr.. w. made second visit to the
neighborhood, in company with the merce-
nary HnscHER, of this place, WIoK.,was told
/ that he had lied about the matter In the
presence of number Of Germans, he was
requested to take back what he had said
and on refusing, sharp words passed-the
lie was given, which was followed up with
blows The difficulty only occurred between
two persons-WIcK and the German to whom
he had lied, and ultimated in the former be
ing worsted by receiving a sound drubbing.
This is the whole of this outrage, and i
Abolitionists wish to get the sympathy o
ths public, they should lie less to honest
unsuspecting voters. The people of th'
Immediate neighborhood of the occurrence
think the German did right. and we are in
clined to the same opinion.

LArEsr FROM KANsAs.-Tbe report.

LATEST FROM KANsAs.-The report, says
the st. Louis Democrat, that one of General
Lanes regiments had crossed the Missouri
into Nebraska, is untrue.
The officers of the steamer Genoa, which
was at Bennet's landing. few miles below
Nebraska city on the night of the 2lst, state
that four hundred is the number of the men
who had marched with him through Iowa,
and that they had not left that State, but
were still encamped in the woods, skirting
the river, on a spot few miles from Ben
netts ferry. The TURNER'S in the neighbor-
hood supply them with food, and desertions
from the party are of frequent occurrence.

The Germans of Indiana All Right.
The German Democrats recently held a
meeting at Fort Wayne. full and graphic
account of which we find in the Jefersonian.
The very large attendance, and the enthusi-
astic feeling manifested for the nominees of
the Cincinnati Convention, show that the
German Democrats of this State are sound to
the core. The efforts Of the Abolition Know
Nothings to seduce them from their old party
ties and associations have proved vain and
fruitless. Humbuggery is a game that can
not be played with any success upon class

For ,hs Indiana sta,e ssn,Insi.i !


The Charlottesville journal suggests that
the young men Of Indiana hold Con.
vention, the day before the Convention of
the 1st, I'd and Sd Of October, at Tippecanoe
Battle Ground and the journal of this city,
endorses the same by saying, "let every
young man in Indiana, who can spare the
time, whether for Fremont or for FILLMORE,
come and meet in cordial Convention."-
AS the FILLMORE men seldom congregate
with the "Woolly Heads" in any of their
stanpedes, and, not being used to the smell
OBJ de niger" they Qhe "Woolly's,) need
not expect an a8salgaDsatiOn from that source.
| should think the Black Republican editor
of the Journal ought to know by this time,
that the Fillmore men are not in favor of a
fuse on any terms whatever. We could
suggest in connection with the above, to the
Fremont young men, that they be sure and
obtain the services of the Rev. William An
derson for that occasion, as he is non conspus
mentis on the "goose question saying moth
ing about the "eggs." AMERICAN.

Traetarianism.

1t is stated in the New York papers, says
the Evening Args,s, that the life of Fremont
IS selling at such rate that the presses OF
the public cannot supply the demand. "The
tract societies may as we'll shut up shop
adds the writer; and the fact is, that during
the campaign the religion of the Bible will
have no chance at all where the anti-slavery
sentiment prevails. There will be no heart,
no desire, no time for anything else but the
current reign of Republicanism, Of which
FREMONT is the Allah and DAYTON the
Prophet. The effect of this thing in the
future viii react wofully upon those who are
most active now in lashing the popular mind
to phrensy upon the subject; while the moral
consequences entailed upon generations to
come would be sincerely dePlored by many
at this day, if their infatuation did not ut
terly blind them to the inevitable laws Of
cause and effect. Even the satire of the
poet has caught the idea inseparable from
the present rollicking intimacy between reli-
gion and Republicanism-politics and the
pulpit. In song, ironically extolling the
virtues of FREMONT and DAYTON, one stanza
is az follows. 1t needs no comment

Beyard Taylor on China and Japan
A large audience assembled, on Saturday
afternoon to hear Bayard Taylor speak con-
cernng those countries
Mr. Taylor spoke Of the great difference
between the people of China and Japan
lhe languages also are entirely different
Ihe Chinese abounds in consonants and ls
spoken with nasal twang which no Scotch
professor OF psalmody could ever hope to
equal. The Japanese, on the other hand.
contains many vowel sounds, and is musical
and rithrnic. There was one curious point
OF opposite resemblance. The Chinese Ian
guago contains no ,, and in pronouncing
foreign words the letter is always substi-
tuted In the Japanese, on the other hand ,
there il no l. and where it occurs r is used
instead. The Japanese have great con-
tempt for the Chinese. and one of the inter
prefers seeing some Of that nation shipped at
Canton among the deck hands, asked with
disgust, is it possible that you have Chinese
among your men . To which the American
in erpreter, with more regard to policy than
truth, answered. These men are hut the sr.
wants Of our sailors : and the Japanese was
assunged.
In curiosity the japanese surpassed the
Yankees. But though they ahounded IN
questions, they never showed any signs OF as
tonishment except once, when they heard the
wild, unearthly shrek of the whistle OF the
steam engine. The Dutch at Nangasaki
were obliged frequently to communicate the
news of the outside world, which was then
spread over the country. Thus the American
sailors who were rescued in l8i9, heard Of
the Mexican war from the Japanese and when
the later Expedition first arrived its members
were asked about the Pacific Railroad and
aftcrward about the result of Ericsson's in
vention.
On closing, Mr.. Taylor was loudly ap,
plauded. Among tho audience we noticed
many participants Of the scenes depicted ;
among others, Commodore Perry himself,
from whom letter, testitying to their truth
fulness, was read in the course of the exhi-
bition " Y Times.

Odors breathed from Paradise.

Softly murmuring at my side,

e Nobody considers The Boston Advertiser
a hot-headed Paper on the subject Of resis-
tarce to slavery aggression, and it finds it
very hard work to concede honesty Of purpose
in the Republican party, but speaking Of Kan
sas and the application for its admission
to the Union, it says
There is no reason why Kansas should not
be admitted, Her population is sufficient
for State. Even President Pierce's
special message, untrue in its facts and un-
fair in its reasoning ends with the common
sense conclusion that II remedy for all the
troubles in Kansas will be found in her ad
mission into the Union as State.
Meanwhile, the inhabitants Of Kansas
must be sustained and supported in the main
tenance of their liberties. Ii is no spiritless
people who ask this at our hands They
will understand the principle that those
- who would be free, themselves must strike
the blow w''-and they are willing TO act up to
the principle, even in the present case, when
it demands of them the more difficult duty Of
armins without striking-of repelling inya-
sion. not rising to attack.
We have authentic information that there
ia good reason to apprehend a renewed at
tack upon Lawrence by the Missourians
which will undoubtedly take place unless the
Mssourians see that it will prove uuuyaii-
ing. Let them understand that there is q
powerful sympathy enlisted on the side Of
their intended victims sympathy which
will not allow them to be oppressed and per-
secuted. and they will dcsist We ought.
therefore, by all means, to give the people of
Kansas every encouragement in our power in
this time Of their need and their extremity
