to mourn the death Of his youngest son--tlie last

was exemplary in his habits, and kind, obedient,

tinued, and persons connected with this branch
of the public service thus are deprived sudden
ly of employment essential to their subsis-
tence, nor is it the waste consequent upon the
forced abandonment Of the seaboard fortffca-
tons, and of the interior military posts and
other establishments and the enormous ex-
pense of recruiting and re-organizing the army,
and again distributing it over the vast regions
which it now occupies. These are evils, it is
true, which may be repaired by taxes hereaf-
ter imposed upon the country, but other evils
are involved, which no expenditure, however
lavish, could remedy, in comparison with
which local or personal injuries or interests
sink into insignifcance. A great part of the
army is situated on the remote frontier

Lockhart and Americanism.

This notorious "Know Nothing killer" has
lately discovered that the American party is
!, national and patriotic but during the time he
was seeking the nomination or the petersburg
, Convention, nothing seemed to give him more
pleasure than to travel over this Congression-
Al District to abuse and vilify the members of
the American Order-calling them midnig hit
:yassassias, and disunionists, traitors, house
burners, and every epithet that his corrupt
brain could concoct.
How are we to account for this sudden
change? Does any one suppose that 1t is the
lhonest conviction of his heart We do not
believe there is man in the district who be-
lieyes any such thing. But, on the contrary,
they are all convinced that his late fondness
for the American party arises from desire to
secure the vote of Americans to aid him in
getting to Congress.
This is all the love Lockhart, or any other
odd Line Locofoco, has for the American par
tty and we believe the Americans are too
smart to help put the man into office who took
so much pains to traduce them and their prln-
cples. But we have heard of a fel0 Ameri-
cans who say they will not vote all. Now
will they stand by and quietly look on, and
see their avowed enemy walk into power with
out raising hand to resist his progress Ii
YOU are the true friends of the American par
ty YOU pursue strange course in order to
carry out your principles. What have the
Americans to hope for from Jim LOckhart q
Nothing but abuse of the blacklist and most
damning character. If he is elected to Con-
gress and Mr.. Fillmore President, do you
suppose he would support any portion of his
administration? No! Then there Is nothing
to be gained by electing Lockhart, but all tc
loose; and men who call themselves Amerl
cans, by standing still in this contest give aid
and comfort to their most avowed enemies
We ask every American, is there no choice
between Veatch and Lockhart

APPOINTMENTS For JUDGE MORTON.

o. Gov. Willard in the most furious por-
ton of his furious harangue of last Saturday,
charged that the Evansville Journal would
turn traitor to the Fillmore cause Now Will
lard can remain perfectly easy on this score.
The journal is first, last and oil the time for
Fillmore, and for noJoay else. When like Will
lard we shall have tgrncd traitor to truth,
honesty and common decency, then we may
b, suspected Of any possible treason in poll
tics but until then, we respectfully suggest that
Willard measure the honesty of our political
course by something else than the standard of
his own rascalty.

Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, AU

w ASHlNGION, aug Il.
| SENATE.-The Presidents message was re-
ceved and read. 1t was as follows:
Fellow citizens of the Senate and House of
Representatives: In consequence of the fail
ure of Congress, at its recent session, to make
provision for the support of the Army, it be-
comes imperativeiy incumbent on me, to ex-
ercise the power which the Constitution con-
i fers on the Executive ON this extraordinary
! occasion, and promptly convene the two
Houses, in order to afford them an opportuni-
ty of reconsidering subject of such vital in
terest to the peace and welfare of the Union.
The exception of partial authority vested
by law in the Secretary of War to contract for
supply of clothing and subsistence for the
army is wholly dependent on the appropria-
ton annually made by Congress. The omis-
sion of Congress to act upon this matter be-
fore the termination of the fiscal year, had al
ready caused embarrasSmentS which were over
come only in expectation of appropriations be-
fore the close of the present month. If the
requisite funds be not speedily provided the
Executive will no longer be able to furnish fol-
, transportation the equipments and munitions
which are essential to the effectiveness of a
military force in the field With no provision
for the pay of the troops the contracts for en-
, lstment would be broker and the army must
be in effect disbanded, the consequences o.
which would be so disastrous as to command
all possible efforts to avert the calamity.
E 1t is not merely that the officers and enlist
