A Lie Against vsatch Repalled.

In 1854 at a public speaking at the
Methodist Church in this place, one And l..
Robinson whose abolitonism no one will ques-
don, declared in substance that the fugitive
Slave law was wrong, and ought not to be en-
forced, and declared that there was higher
aw," shan the Constitution Of the United
States Believing this, Bir. Robinson endeaVor-
ed to nculcate the doctrine of resistance to the
requirments of the fugitive slave law and the
compromises of 1850 When Mr. Robinson
concluded his reasonable abolition rernal ks
James G. Veatch, arose and remarked in sub
stance that 1ir Robinson had oppressed his
uie,Os better than he could DOT AimseJf--[ Dem
The editor makes the above statement with
out the slightest Qualification leaving his read
erS to infer that he was present and heard the
speech Of A. L. Robinson. But we know bet
ter than tn t comes to, for we were present and
heard all that Mr. L. had to say on that occa-
sion The editor of the Democrat was not
there, and we believe was never ia Spencer
county until 1856. He knows nothing about
Mr. Robinson's speech, but what has been told
him. and the above is ridiculous flbrlcatiOn
In speaking OF the fugitive slave law, he said
nothing that could reasonably be construed
into resistance of that measure; he did not
advocate its repeal but wished it to be amend
ed to allow the writ of 'Ha5eas Corpus and
right of trial by jury. He made no alinsion
to "higher law" He placed himself upon
the Constitution and made all his remarks &C
cord with the teaching of Jefferson and all
good Democrats, down to 1889. His speech
was one of the best historical speeches that
was ever delivered in Rock port so acknowl-
edged by friends and foes. We heard Demo
Gratis say after that speech was deligere that
there was no aboit o lisIn IN il, ..buf they had
heard him make abolition speeches.

made, and the editor that did not hear one
word of it has reported it to be an abolition

A Word Aside.

Some of our friends have gratuitously placed
an interpretatioDsupon our remarks of We'd
nesday relatve'to traitors &c, entirely unjus-
titled by either the words or spirit of the edi-
torial. We had no intention Of trying to achip
IN men to act with us. That is a course OF
policy confined exclusively to the Old Line
party, and which treenaen despise. We scorn
the hand which dares attempt to hold q rod
over independent citizens, and we desPfse the
man who can be moved a hairs breadth by
any such despotism. Our sole object was to
expose the designs of certain men, who pre-
tending to be bitterly opposed to LockhaI t.
are weaving plans to assist in his election
and to warn honest men and good citizens ,to
beware of them and their meshes. We touch
ed where we intended to-the blow hit where
it was aimed-but we do not wish others who
were not touched to think they were struck
Mt. For instance, those who were getting W
letter to Mr.. Veatch, took our remarks to
themselves. We need say no more about
this, than we did not know Of any such letter
in existence OF in contemplation, until after
the publication of our article.
The old Wing party was once betrayed
when this same Judge Lockhart was candi-
date against as good Wing as there was in
the District. Pretended Wings lent them
selves to the enemy, and succeeded in their
object of defeating DeBruler. We have wish
ed to warn the foes Of Lockhart now, ola simi-
lar attempt to betray them. We shall not
dodge our duty in this or in any other mat
tar. If there are none guilty, then none need
fear, and none need talk of whipping M
But if there are guilty ones: they viii dc well
to prove themselves able to take care of them
selves. 1t will be demanded Of them. Yes
we trust those opposed to the election OF Lock
hart will be united to man, and secure what
such unity can easily attain, his defeat.

Visit from Mr.. Veatch.

Mr.. Jas. c. Veatch arrived here yesterday,
and during the day became acquainted with
many of our citizens, and as we think, left an
excellent impression on all with whom he
conversed. Indeed, much Of the dissatisac-
ton existing among few here, from misun-
derstanding as to his real opinions, appears to
have disappeared. We are happy to announce
that he will address the citizens of Evansville
this evening at the Market House, when we
trust that all interested in hearing full ex-
preston of his views, will be present Mr.
V. is visiting Evansville by the express invi,
tation Of many Of our citizens. He has beer
basely sIandered by the Lockhart organ here
not only as to his general views on different
subjects, but as to language he is charged tC
have used against foreigners, his motives II
contestng an election in Spencer county, hi'
endorsement of opinions purporting to be Maj
Robinson's, &C., &c. 1t is due him, therefore
that those who have read those hbels should
be present. Let men of all parties be there

CANAL BROKEN AGAIN.-The canal is again
broken four miles above Petersburgh, and we
are informed that it cannot be repaired under
two weeks Tenor twelve boats are caught
this side OF the break, all loaded from Evans
vile. These frequent interruptions of canal
navigation will have the effect of driving men
out of the boating business The INJURY TO our
city is great, OBTAINING goods shipped to our
merchants, and preventing the towns along
the canal from receiving goods purchased here:
We trust that some measures will be taken to
render the banks of the canal secure in future,
and o protect the interests Of large class OF
worthy, hard working men, and secure to Rv-
ansvlle the business which legitimately be-
longs to her. *

Or Gov. Wright was received at the de-
pot, and saluted along the streets, with loud
shouts for Fillmore. There was not much
harm in this, perhaps, but we were sorry to
hear these shouts continued at intervals while
he was speaking or at times when his friends
attempted to applaud him. We condemn
interruptions at any political meeting by mem
bers of the party opposed to the speakers, and
do so in this case, hoping it will never occur
again at a political demonstration in Evans
vile, although in this case we do not think it
was intended as any disrespect to the speak
er, who is certainly outside of his office not
entitled to the respect of those who shouted
for SO much better man-but was merely an
overplus of enthusiasm. Visiting us on a
mere electioneering tour, he has sunk the
Governor into the politician, and is entitled
to no more consideration than any other stump
speaker-but all speakers, even Gov. Wright,
should have respectful hearing

Gov Wright ana the Prohibisery Liquor Law.
As Gov. Wright is to speak here to morrow
evening. and certain of our citizens have found
great fault with those who in any manner ia
yored the late Prohibitory Liquor Law, we
wish to relae for their teneft how far Gov.
Wright has been connected with this "obnox-
ious measure" They can then attend the
meeting with somewhat clear consciences.-
We invite the attention of GERMANS to the
facts
In Gov. Wright's Biennial message to the
Legislature in January. 1855, he used the fol-
lowing language:
"The evils of intemperance are so numerous,
so great, and so destructive, that all good men
will rejoice to see them abated. No estimate o,
the loss Of business, the loss Of dollars and cents
to the mann acturer or retailer or the loss o.
trade and commerce to the State, should for a
moment rise into Importance, in contrast
with those terrible realities of poverty, sorrow
wretchedness, moral degradation and crime
which darken our land, and fill our aims.
houses, hospitals and penitentiaries. Beaevo
lence and public policy alike require sup
preston of the evils of intemperance."
In accordance with these sentiments h
made the following recommendation:
mo one can doubt that there is strong
public sentiment in Indiana in favor of a change
in our laws upon this subject; and it is tht
duty of the peoples servants to carry out tina
sentiment 1t will give me pleasure to co
operate with the Representatives Of the PEG
ipIe, in the adoption ofany constitutional meas
ure that NAV be calculated to remove this &C
knowledged evil from the State.''
In compliance with this recommendation
the representatives of the people, an Ok
Line Senate and Republican House, passed
the measure known as the Prohibitory Liquo
Bill. 1t became Ian By the approval and oil
cja7 signature Of GOV. WRIGHT. 1t wa
passed by his recommendation, and became
law only through his approval He was re
sponsible for it more than any other one man
and as much as the Legislature itself

Items not Local.

If any Of our readers have taste for the
horrible, we would recommend to their notice
the papers published throughout the Union,
the past week Beginning with the railroad
accident at Philadelphia, where dozens pinion-
ed in their seats by fallen timbers were roa ted
alive down to the murders, ARRAYS and acct
dents, which adorn the columns Of our city
contemporaries We read every day Of men he
ing cut, shot and beaten TO death, as though
it were matter Of course, and the Locals"
who record these affairs, go into particulars
with RELISH Which shows very plainly, a
want Of delicacy on the part of the writers
and morbid taste on the part of a commune
ty which requires such disgusting details -
But we do not wish so much to condemn the
manner in which these things are 'dished up
as the frequency of their occurrence. A few
days ago, large company was poisoned at
Rising Sun, and since nearly all have died
from the effect. But the refinement of cruelty
has been reached by man in Missouri, who,
to revenge himself upon neighbor poisoned
u large school of little children, by putting
arsenic in the spring from which they crank.
Eleven innocent children died. together with
the schoolmaster. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that the guilty wretch was hung as soon
as found.
Anothing startling fact is the number of
robberies, and even murders, committed by
mere boys. On Thursday the police of Mem
phis arrested half a dozen boys from Is to
II years of age, who for months have been
carrying on a regular system OF robbery. The
last Baltimore Patriot, the late St Louis and
New Orleans papers, all have accounts Of rob-
berries. stabbiAs ARRAYS and brutal fights, be-
tween boys all less than twenty years ofage.
We are glad to know that local items of this
kind are scarce in Evansville. We are won
d ,rfully free from these things and it is our
earnest wish that we may ever remain So. A
glance at yesterday mornings exchanges,
would convince one that life has a dark side
indeed, Verify, we are upon evil times.

BANNED hy a lirtle Govarnmant Fan.

AS an evidence ofjust what thing Of party
a petty Government Office will make man
of how little appointment at Washington
will change even an ordinarily sensible and IN
dependent man into mere partizan tool
read the following extract from letter writ
ten by Mr.. Whittlesey. Whit, although a
staunch Old Liner, used to have an occasional
opinion Of his own, and sometimes was bold
enough to express it. He once hated that
which honest men should hate, and no doubt
despised coward and ruffian as such charac
ters deserve. But Whit has been appointed
a sub sub clerk at Washington, and is now
tool enough to lay his grateful homage at the
feet OF Brooks, the cowardly wretch whom the
very saliva over which an honest breath has
passed would be too good to hestow upon his
carcase. Hear Whit: =
The excitement in Washington, consequent
upon the Brooks trial, is dying away. The
result you have doubtless learned Mr..
Brooks, though not expelled, resigned his seat
in consequence Of the vote of the majority oil
the House being against him. His speech de.
lrvered at his resignation, was one Of the most
mastery indications of Southern rights
have ever heard No man could have looked
upon his noble bearing. and listened to his
earnest and nnpassioned appeal, and said in his
heart that Preston S. Brooks was an ,assas
sin" or bully" as the Black Republican
services have charged. At the height of one
" hrs most beautiful appeals be said: Sir, |
cannot, on my own account, assume the re
sponslillity, in the face the American peo-
ala .,fD. -.
my heart of hearts, believe would stibrert
the foundations of this government and dresch
this hall in blood. No act ofmne shall naus-
urate revolution; but when you, Mr. Speaker,
return to your own home, and hear the people
Of the great North--and they are a great peo-
ple-sle k of me as a bad man, You wild do me
the justice to say, a blow struck by me at this
time would not have been followed by reyou-
ton" The evidence of truth which this
beautiful peroration contained brought down
the galleries of the House in a tumult of APP
plause, which was checked by the Speaker
1t Is idle to deny tina for the time, the des-
TIMES OF the American people were in Mr.
Brooks hands. He might have pursued a
course which woulll have been The origin of .
civil war, bat his patriotic heart prompted him
to better deeds, FOR which he is entitled to the
gratitude instead ofthe contempt of the people
of the North .a.fb = D..
The ordinary language of contempt is not
strong enough to apply to the above senti-
ments The destines Of the American people
in the hands of this poor whipped dog Brooks,
and the American people only saved from
a civil war through his patriotic heart which
prompted him to better deeds! And that
beautiful perorationn-the twaddle of a pratt
ing coward mouthing big words, after sneak
ing behind man in confined position, and
knocking him down with clpb, and beating
him after iRsensibility! We ask the pardon Of
our readers for publishing the above stg6.
