Bey- Some weeks ago the debased para
site of Bill English, the New Albany Ledger,
published a spurious version of a speech Of
John u. Wilson, English's competitor for
Congress, delivered at Washington in 1854,
purporting to be written out from notes
taken at the time of its delivery, and pre-
served with care for use. The falsehood of
the story, and the infamous forgery of the
speechs have been most conclusively exposed
by the testimony of witnesses who heard it,
and by the reproduction of the genuine
speech, as published at the time ofits delivery,
IN the newspapers Of the vicinity, show
ing clearly that the counterfeit bears
no resemblance to the true Speech -
yet the Enquirer here - which can always
find lower depth of infamy than any of
its co-laborers in Lecompton falschoods-
after this 'damning exposure, re-publiahes
the false speech, and puts it forth with an
affected hypocritieal appeal TO excite the
prejudices of uaturaiized voters. The first
publishers Of the forged document, could
make some pretences OF a belief in its
genuineness; but those who repeated it,
after the frs.ud was proven, must be void Of
shame, and all regard Of honor and truth.

BI~ Jefferson Davis, the other day, made
one of those noble and patriotic speeches
which thrill the hearts of the people in all
sections of the country, and prove by the
response they meet with, how easy it would
be TO heal all the wounds inflicted by sec
tional strife, if political leaders would but
become national R their views and aims,
and cease to goad the people TO hatred and
enmity by the SHAFTS of sectinal jealousy
and prejudice. He rendered a graceful
tribute to the hospitality and kindness that
had been extended to him in New England,
praised the fat cattle, the ingenious imple-
ments, the good farming, and drew from the
varied productions the different develop
nents, and the mutual dependence of differ
ent sections of the country, the great lesson
Of union and brotherhood. Such sentiments
as these are more than empty compliments F.;
they have meaning and an effect and they
are responded to all over the country by
those who understand the value and who
love the traditions of the union.

HB-Gen. Lane has been in this district,
openly canvassing for Niblack's reelection.
Niblaek is pledged TO the doctrine that no
State should be admitted with population
less than $4,000. Every vote, therefore,
which Lane made for Niblack, is vote to
keep Oregon out Of the Union. But Lane
cares less for the admission of Oregon, than
be does for the allowance Of the $4,000, 600
of Oregon war claims, which is being
bought up by company of spectators and
harpies-and in which Lane and his friends
have deep stake. If by hattery he can
secure the influence of Buchanan in aid of
this enormous fraud upon the Treasury, he
would not care if Oregon did not come into
the Union in five years. 4 million year
would compensate him and his friends for
waiting. The extravagant laudation and
ridiculous fattery of Buchanan which con-
stitutes the pith of his speeches had pur-
pose, and were made with an eye to the
main chance,

The Ticket.

The ticket in our columns was placed
there without consultation with any one,
and no one of the candidates is responsible
in any way for the connection in which his
name was placed; not one of them was
aware of the use we made of his name till
the ticket was published. 1t embraced the
names of the best men, in our opinion,
among those who had offered themselves as
candidatcs-all of whom, we understand,
are willing to adopt the anti-Lecompton
Democratic platform. We gave the ticket
no political designation nor especial COM
Inendation. We published it to bring the
names of those we deemed the most capa-
BILE and reliable men prominently before the
public, without much regard to their politi-
cal antccedents, asking only if they were
right on the paramount question of the day
The only name placed on the list at the
suggestion of third party, was that of Mr..
Moore's candidate for Circuit Judge. AS
we desire that neither local feelings, politi-
cal prcpossessions or religious prejudices
shall have any influence in the election of
our Judicial Officers, We place the names of
beth candidates for Judge in the ticket, and
most earnestly urge voters to weigh the
merits of both most carefully, and vote for
the most worthy, without asking by what
agencies he has been brought forward, or
to what section of the party he belongs, or
what his religious faith may. The only
misgivings we have felt in regard to MI.
Burkes fitness for the position, were as to
his personal habits in the use liquor. These
have been removed by the assurances of his
personal friends, and intimates that these
arc not such as to impair the vigor and
clearness of his intellect or to cause the least
uneasiness TO his friends. They assure u.
the reports which have been spread abroad
IL this part of the District are slauderou.

RESPECT FOR LAw-The National Intetli-
genoer, in commenting upon the return of
the rescued natives of Africa, and the ready
acquiescence of South Carolina in the meas
ures adopted by the United States authori-
ties for their transportation, says:
The event has proved the falsity of those
evil surmises that the people of South Caro-
lima would seek by some legal pretence to
detain them, and has signally vindicated the
loyalty of South Carolina to the Federal
laws, notwithstanding the susceptibilities
which it was attempted to arouse by insidi-
Gus appeals proceeding from few within
her borders, aud still more by the unworthy
imputations to which We have referred pro-
ceeding from few abroad, and in this in
stance we have an example of respect Of tsw
which they perhaps would do well to imi-
tate who have been in such haste to cast the
first stone at South Carolina. If it be said
that such obedience to law is duty too
primary in its nature to merit especial men
ton, still less to be cited for praise, must it
not in Justice. as in shame be admitted that,
though such is certainly the theory of the
citizens obligation under Government like
ours, the manifestations of a contrary spirit
have lately become quite too frequent to
! render superfuous the homage that is paid
to signal illustration OF Difference the writ
ten statute? The revenue of our glory, as
law-abiding people, is not so full that we
can easily afford to dispense with any addi-
ton to its stores.
We concur heartily in the following para
| graph from the same impartial paper:
And if the people of South Carolina have
! afforded an Instructive lesson on this point
and confuted in the most effective manner
the impeachments sought to be placed upon
! them, the Administration, in like manner
| deserves due credit for the efficiency and hui
mainly with which it has discharged it:
duties in the premises. We do not observe
however, that the few journals which were
swift to ascribe to the Government ready
| completely in the designs they are pleased
to impute to the people of South Carolini
have been as generous in the bestowal o
their praises u Jon the Administration TO
what it has done, and done well, as befor
they showed themselves liberal in visiting
upon it their cenSures for what they pro
fessed to feel assured it would not do.

OPP FELLOWSHIP DEcL1NISG.-The Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, IN session at Wash
ington, has received reports of the state of
the Order in the United States for the past
year. The only States which report a posi-
tive prosperity are New Jersey, Ohio, lndi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri and Louisiana, and
Canada West. In Canada East the Order
has died out in New York it makes no
progress; while in Virginia and Kentucky,
there is a perceptible falling off. This rapid
decline is due mostly to the financial system
of the Order. The benefits are out of all
proportion to the income. Organized ON the
principle of a health insurance, it bestows
in sick dues far more than ii receives from
the regular dues Of the members.

BURGLARs.-Two Of the burglars tried at
the recent term of the Circuit Court at
Princeton, confessed their crime after con-
viction, and the Clarion says one of them,
named Barton, went with the Sheriff to
place near Patoka and about forty rods
from the railroad, where in hollow log
they had concealed their plumber on the
morning after the robbery. Some kind of
animal had dragged everything from its
hiding place. The watches, pocket-book,
gold pens and gold coin were all there, to-
gether with dark lantern and several other
instruments used by burglars. Their own
account of their proceedings is about this:
They entered town after midnight, and first
entered the house of Mr.. n B. French, but
finding him sleeping uneasily they left there
and visited Mr.. Jeraulds. One of them
(Barton) went into his sleeping room, but
finding Mr. Jerauld about to be aroused by
the restlessness of his little girl, he went
down stairs, where the two waited half an
hour, and then going back succeeded in
getting the watch. They then went again
to Mr.. French's and catching him sleeping
we'll, took his watch. At Mr.. j.. Deyin' s
they could not effect an entrance. From
there they went to DR.. Vests and succeeded
in stealing from two rooms-those of Mr..
Carr and Mr. Jenkins-money from the
former and watch, two gold pens, a
pocket-book and gold coin from the latter.
As they were leaving town they saw a man
astir just below the depot, whom they sup
posed saw them. The seeing this man and
supposing they would be pursued immcdi-
ately the theft was made known, was what
made them hide the property at oil. 1t ap-
pears that whoever they saw did not see
them. ta
On their way TO the Penitentiary, Climer
the associate of Barton, made his escape
from the officer while the cars were stop
ping at Seymour, and though hand-cufet
and chain on his leg, made good his fiigh
