CHRONICLES-BY AHISHER.
CHAPTER I.

And it came to pass in the reign of Frank
lin the Great, and in the fourth year of his
reign, in the eighth month Of the year, and on
the nineteenth of the month that Ashbel the
Great whose surname is Willard, a deyout
man and a pious follower of the god Bacchus.
came even to Newburg in the south of the
province of Indiana. Moreover he had learn
ed before he came thither, that 'the peopIe''
were to assemble that night to consult and d =
termine who should be their next Ruler of III
Province. Furthermore Ashbel, when ten
miles distant, like Erdaviraph, a pious priest
of Zoraster, who drank soporferous wine. lin
order to obtain inspiration,) drank rot-gut
whisky and journeyed towards the SOUTH
And it came to pass as he journeyed that the
Vaccinations of his mind were very great,
that great and terrible visions appeared unto
him, and he lifted up his eyes and saw, and
behold there appeared unto him standing upon
the bank of the river man (named Morton).
whose form was like unto a beast with two
horns; and the horns were very high but one
(Republican) horn was higher than the other
(American) horn, and the highest came ND
last And lol this beast pushedwth his horns
eastward, and westward, and northward, and
southwark, and none were able to stand be-
fore him; neither were there any found who
could deliver from the power of this beast
And he became exceedingly great And be,
hold Ashbel, who at first had been filed with
choler towards the beast, trembled and exclaim-
ed: ALAS! alas for me! shall not escape from
the power of the beast, neither shall be ruler
Of this province, for the people have gone after
the beast, and ceased from following after
me.a Ashbel awoke from his slumbers, and
found himself by the riverside greeting his
friends, Chester and Thomas that dwelleth by
the river side, and Simeon the seller of rot gut.
whose business has raised him to the rank Of
a gentleman, and purchased for him the office
of Post Master. And it came to pass, when the
hour had fully come, and the multitude were
assembled in the council chamber of the "Sag-
Nichts," that Ashbel appeared before the peo-
pie like Giant refreshed with new wine, and
rejoiced like strong man to run race. And
behold Ashbel opened his mouth and spake of
Washington and Jefferson. Cass and Clay, the
Constitution and the Glorious Union; Of Con-
gress and of Compromises, for the space of two
hours, and 'the faithful" rejoiced exceedingly
some stamped, others clapped their hands,
Others roared like wild beasts, and one
whistled like locomotive, and the noise of
their rejoicing was heard afar off and all ''the
people" wondered, but "the faithfup' said
Great is our Ashbel, who is like unto him ?''

After the Little BOYS.

We hope the little boys will not tantalize
the great Democratic party beyond all en-
durance. At the raisingof Buchanan pole a
couple evenings ago, some little boys kept
hurrahing for Fillmore, to the great trouble of
the assembled Democracy. Our inestimable
Sheriff, who is now busy acting as police Off
Ger to Democratic gatherings and helping to
raise Buchanan poles, all in the desperate hope
of becoming Marshal of the State or getting
some other Office, was exceedingly furious at
these boys. He said they wereksset on" by
their fathers, that Democrats never interrupted
very Sheriff was the ringleader in putting
down Judge Baker at Newburg when he
spoke, or attempted to speak in reply to Will
lard. He is notoriously against free speech
His own party will recollect that at tho IA
nous Apollo Hall meeting he yelled down free
speech, when none but Democrats were
participating in the proceedings For the
truth of this, we refer to every Democrat who
was at the meeting excepting his particular
toadies, more particularly the toady of the En-
quirer, who backed the Sheriff's course. We
don't want to hear this Sheriff talk any more
about free speech, and respectable behavior at
public meetings.
We hope no Fillmore man, or even little
boy, will interrupt Democratic meetings OF
any kind. The best plan is to stay away from
them altogether. We especially advise very
small boys to stay away from these meetings,
as gentleman heard the Sheriff of Wander
burgh county say if these little boys inter
rupted another meeting, he would knock
several of them down-and if they are verylit-
tie, we have no doubt he will do it.

The FILLMORE Feeling.

The Fillmore feeling is widening and deep
ening. Glad tidings are born upon every
breeze of increasing strength and enthusiasm.
Fillmore Clubs are springing up around us,
where bat month ago they were not so much
as talked of. The friends of Fillmore are or
ganizing, and thus gathering strength and ac-
quiring the means of bringing it to bear to
affect great good. In Henderson county, KY,
our across the river neghbor, several new
Fillmore Clubs have been started. In Illinois
along the borders of the lower Wabash, a num-
Der of Fillmore clubs have been organized and
Fillmore poles raised, and the greatest enthu-
siasm prevails. At Terre Haute, the Fillmore
men are filled with ZEAL Jas. Harlan, Esq,
of this city, will address the Fillmore club oi
that place this evening. We hope to be able
soon to announce a Fillmore speech in Evans
vile, from an ardent and warm supporter o
our cause at Terre Haute. At Lafayette, the
friends Of Fillmore and the Union are rapidly
increasing in numbers, and have good organic
alton. From this region, all around us, nearly
every mail brings us encouragement. The
country is sickening OF sectionalism. The peo-
pie are wearied with this eternal slavery agi-
tation. They are crying for peace, and they
know there is no peace but in the election o.
Fillmore. Every day brings additional evi-
dence of this fact. Let those who earnestly
desire peace and quietude range themselves in
the ranks of the National party. There is no
safety with the party whose infamous acts
caused all this agitation There can be not
much more with that other party whose policy
is to secure success on the strength of this agi-
tation, and upon the force of sectional preu-
dice.

They Don't like it-and we ara not Surprised.


They Don't like it-and we ara not Surprised.
Astonishing as it may seem, the more rabid
Old Liners don't look with any great favor on
our exposures of WiIlard's gross inconsisten-
cies and still grosser falsehoods, and think we
are most decidedly wicked in publishing to the
world the great triumph of Judge Morton in
this city over Willard. They appear to think
too, this sinful course on our part, is all owing
to kind of soreness produced by piece of
witticisim at our expense retailed out by Will
lard in his Speech wittcism or satire which
was old ten years ago. yet which Willard put
forth as his own property. Stale eggs are de-
cidedly obnoxious, but stale wit hurts nobody.
The truth is, the Old Liners here are dread
fully ashamed of Willard. They haze been
boasting of him as mighty man. a most tre-
mendous orator, and as just the individual
calculated to make a proper Governor for the
State of Indiana. Well, he was exhibited
here, and hundreds Of our citizens have seen
and heard him. They heard this candidate
for the highest office in our State make really
the most blackguard speech probably ever de-
livered in Evansville. They heard him utter
more deliberate, unblushing falsehoods, than
ever before insulted the intelligence Of this
community in public speech. They heard
him bare-hcedly attempt to deceiUe them on
every subject he discussed. They heard him
call men infinitely his superiors in manners
and morals, and known and respected in this
community, negro stealers. They saw him
when engaged in public discussion Of the
most prominent questions now agitating the
country, utterly refuse to directly define his
position on these questions-decidedly and
emphatically refuse to answer the questions,
"do you believe Congress has the power to pro-
hibit slavery in the territories? ?"-"are you for
or against the extension Of slaIery?' This was
portion of the exhibition to which intelligent
men were made witnesses-and yet this man,
this political harlequin, knave, demagogue, is
asking the votes Of our citizens for the highest
Office in their gift! He is opposed by man
as infinitely his superior in talent, as in all the
attributes of gentleman-and who in his
speeches here, in no manner insulted the in
telligence of his hearers, nor sacrificed his own
selfrespect and deeency to win the applause
of the multitude. The people will judge be-
tween these men. We have no fears as to
their verdict. 1t makes no difference to us
what motives may be charged as actuating the
editor of this paper, in holding up Willard tc
the scorn and contempt of the community he
has insulted. We trust our pen has never
lacked point when political rascality demanded
exposure, or political knaves deserved public
censure. We certainly shall promise for the
future, that no fear of having selfish motives
imputed to u.s. will deter us from holding up
to the proper detestation of the community
such contemners of all that is honest, fair and
decent in politics, as Ashbel P Willard

Moreover Ashbel continued to speak unto
"the people," of many things, and of the wor-
thy deeds, and deeds of valor, performed by
his brethren, Shannon. Lecompte and Sheriff
Jones, IN the promised land, even in Kansas;
how they had destroyed in the city of Law
renee great fort. (known in the vernacular
as the Free State Hotel) built of stone with
portfolios, filled with cannon rifles and am
munition, killed one man, burnt some houses,
and destroyed a printing press, and when
Ashbel had thus spoken some of ''the people,
groaned, and ''the faithful shouted" but one of
the followers of Esculapius, wise man, and
a master of physic, even that good Samaritan
who bound up the wounds of the sufferers in
Kansas, in the city of Lawrence, on that great
and notable day, said: "Ashbel lies as fast as
he can talk But Ashbel continued and
said "many in this land were suffering with
a disease which is called niggerisDa, for which
/ there was no remedy" Thus AshbeI having
| fully delivered his soul, squatted.
! CHAPTER II.
| Then there arose one Conrad, whose sur
name is Baker; he dwelleth in city of the
south by the riverside; the same is wise
man and a Doctor of the Law, but Frank,
whose surname is Bethel, and one Smith,
whose surname is Gayitt, who also foloweth
hard after nigger WOOL and thirsteth much for
the blood Of white men, cried take him down,
take him down." and John, whose surname is
Bell, said woo-o -e-lly, woo e-lly. But this
man, Conrad, opened his mouth and said.
"hearken unto me ye people, this man Asha-
bel was infected with the disease of ''niggerisn''
in '48 and '52, and by using plenty of "plat-
form" and niger wool he is cured.'' And
Conrad read from the book of the law. And
it came to pass, as he read, that AshabeI and
Thomas, who dwelleth by the river side, and
many others among ''the faithful" thirsted for
strong drink, and they left the council cham
Der to worship at the shrine of their god, some
of them saying Il have wool in my teeth."-
Moreover, this Conrad made wise and cum
ming speech, but the multitude was divided;
nevertheless many of the wise men, and of the
chief men of the place, not few, clave unto
