ONO AND INDIANA ELEorIoSs.-Th elections
held in these States have resulted in favor OF
the Republicans, We regret the results OF
these elections as much us any one, and while
We look upon the defeats that come from every
quarter it makes us feel bitter towards the au-
thors of Them The Democratic party has no
thing to fear from open enemies it is the wolf
in sleeps clothing that works the danger; tits
the protesting friends and secret enemies that
have ruined the prospect of the party for the
present. We hope that by the Fail of ls60,the
fiery simeon will have passed our beloved
country, and the good old Democratic party
will he once more triumphant.

Cotton in Africa.

An American association, known as the Al
rican Civilization Society, has recently held
meeting in Manchester, England, to enlist the
cotton manufacturers in their scheme me

the chairman to be the evangelization ana

nromotion of cotton and other products there,
whereby the natives may become industrious
producers as we'll as consumers of articles OF
commerce; and, generally, the elevation OF the
condition of the colored population of America
and of other lands
The manufacturers of cotton have for years
prosecuted researches into the Feasibility OF
procuring supply of the raw material from
other sources than the United States. FOR a
time they directed their hopes towards INDIA
where cotton is of Indigenous growth, bul
their expectations do not appear to have beer

NEcK-TwIsTING.n-The are practices tole-
rated in religious congregations which Chris
tians, who are jealous for the honor of their
masters house. should utterly condemn. De-
corum is the handmade of devotional feeling
and for this reason, the house of God should
never be disturbed by the slightest approach TO
irreverence. 1t is part OF my religion, said a
pious old lady, when asked why she went early
to church, " It is part of my religion, not to
interrupt the worship of Others T And we be-
lieve il many congregation made it part OF
| their religion not to twist their nccks almost
out of joint to witness the entrance Of every
person who passes up the aisle of the meeting
house, it would be better for both their necks
and their religion. A gross abuse of religious
decorum sometimes needs harsh medicine as
remedy.
We do not know whether it would be proper
for some of our good ministering brethren, who
are sorely tried by the neck-twisting propensl-
ties of their congregations, to use that adopted
by Henry Clay Dean, who was at one time
chaplain of Congress; but we give it for their
consideration, of course, to adopt or reject as
they please. The anecdote is from the Pacific
| Methodist;
Being worried, one afternoon, by the turning
practice in his congregation, Mr.. Dean stopped
| in his sermon and said
"Now, listen to me, and I'll tell you who the
people are as each one of them comes in
| He then went on with his discourse, until a
/ gentleman entered, when he bawled out like
an usher, deacon A., who keeps shop over
/ the way and then went on with his sermon
| Presently, another man passed up the aisle,
and he gave his name, residence and occupa-
ton so he continued for some time.
AT length some one entered the door who
was unknown to Mr.. Dean, when he cried out
I" A little, old man, with drab coat and old
white hat; don't know HIM look for your

DIR PAPER.

thousand inquiries, ere this, have been
made. why the Inquirer did moi appear ON las
Saturday. We know that the people were anx-
ious to get it, by the multitude that thronged
Our Office to know why their paper did not
come. We had no excuse to make; everybody
knew that We were laboring necessarily to pro-
iuce good paper; consequently, they were
surprised no little when their weekly visitor
did not make its appearance, The answer IS,
our paper was printed as usual and delivered
in our Office hut when We came to look over
the reading matter we found very vulgar
word printed in the first column in q piece OF
our composition. The edition WAS completely
suppressed.
Tie people throngcd on Saturday so that we
found il required hard check to face the ml-
sic in order to quiet our mind n little we left
our affairs in charge OF a trusty person ana
went to the West Chester Agricultural Exhibi-
ton TO prevent the re-ocGurrenee OF such an
event. ON Monday morning we repaired to
Philadelphia, where we bought all the type and
fixtures to print the paper Immediately under
our own supervisors heretofore SIC had been
getting it printed at a job office Many OF the
fixtures had to be manufactured after we had
ordered them. 1t will be seen what difficulties
we Ind to labor under to present the Inquirer
in q cnmpetc new suit, in such short time.
This incident is to be regretted on many ac-
counts. one of which is, we are completely
wrapped up in the success of the Inquirer
never sparing money or labor TO carry out our
darling project. 1t will impede our onward
prorress for months and compel us to srrmount
obstacles that We thought We had passed long
apo. Those who know the facts connected
with the suppression Of the number Of last Sat
urday will certainly think that we did right
For our own part, VIC will assure our snhscri-
hers that nothing shall appear in the columns
Of the Inquirer that u man may not read TO ms
daughters by the iircsidc, without causing 7
blush to mantle the cheek of modcsty. Once
more aaoat, we throw our independent banne
to the breeze-sometimes adverse circumstan
ccs may make it trail the dust but in the en'
you will find il flying. Our thoughts snail d.
printed; he they in conformity with som'
party leaders views or not. They shall be pun
lishcd in the shape that nature makes 'hem-
not moulded TO suit either the tastes or ihter
csts of any man. We hope that our views II
regard to the suppression of the paper will D
