On the ID of August Mrs. Timothy
Bradley gave birth to eight clildren--tl,tec
boys and five girls. They are all living.
and are healthy. but quite small. Mr.. BIS
family is increasing fast He was married
six years ago to Eunice Mowerv. who
weighed 273 pounds on the day of their
marriage. She has given birth to two pair
of twins, and now eight more, making
twelve children in six years. 1t seems
strange but nevertheless is true. Mrs. u.
was twin of three, her mother and father
both being twins, and her grandmother
the mother of five pair of twins. Mrs. L.
has named her boys after noted and dis
tngulShed men: One after Hon. Joshna
X. Giddings, who has given her splendid
gold medal; one after the Rev. Hon Elijah
Champlin who gave her deed of 80 acres
of land, and the other after James John
son, esq, who gave her COW. Mr..
Bradley says it is profitable to have twins,
as the neighbors have clothed the others
ever since they were born. Mr.. B. is a
poor industrious laborer, but says he will
not part with any of his children while ho

School Houses in Indiana.

During the last five years there havo
been built in Indiana twenty seven hun.
dred school houses. at an expense of up
wards Of eleven hundIed thousand dollars.
This is large Investment to be made in
school houses in so short time, and it
seems to warrant the vote of the State for
the Republicans in 1850. In the last year
six hundred and fifty school houses were
built at cost to the people of nearly
$500. 600. This large amount was raised
by, special school tax, which was cheer
fully paid. The hopes of the friends of
free labor were never higher nor based so
substantially before. e- gogT4s

The Two Years Amendment.

When Massachusetts passed. the amend.
ment TO her constitution requiring foreign
ers to reside IN that State two years after
receiving their naturalization papers, be.
fore voting, tho Democracy raised a united
howl over the whole land. No one for
moment supposed that the Democratic
party. after having abandoned more than
one half the Jeflersenian teachings in 10.
gard to human rights eouhl care any thing
about this moderate extension of time. but
there was an opportunity to make capiisl
against the Republicans, and that party
was never known to omit an opportunity
of hnfair dealing even when an skonorable
course would answer every purpose.non
When they were met by the assertion
that in the reliable Democratic State of
South Carolina, provision similar TO the
Massachusetts amendment with property
qualification annexed, had rested. upon the
statute books without awakening any Dem
ocratic wrath, they were convicted Of lhy-
pocrisy and compelled to shut their mouths.
1t may seem strange that such blatant
scainps as the Democratic leaders should
every be silenced, but, for time, this fact

ment from the Assistant Secretary OF State
in South Carolina, to the effect that no
such law'cxisted in that State. This Was
a signal for renewal Of the clamor, and
the whole camp set mp gable. The let
ter was copied iu all the DemscIatics pa
pers, introduced and followed by all kinds
of Democratic balderdash, about Repubi-
lying, AND so forth, dd noseuAa. Just at
the height of TINS newspaper carnival new
statement fell among them like bomb.
shell. The, South Carolina newspapers
came TO the rescue and enlightened the ig-
norancc Of tkeir Secretary. 1t is an an
thenticated fact that the Republicans stated

stupid Secretary, who made the State de-

Col. RUN. Thompson.

z Alta meeting oftie Opposition held at
Tcrre Haute on Saturday the 9th instant,
Col. Richard NJ, Thompson made a speech,
a lengthy report OF which is published in
the Express Of that place, Of the 10th int, /,
from which we gather that after claiming
that ],e belonged to no party, and was re-
,sponsible to none; he went on to say THAT
the Democratic party ought to be, held re-
sponsible for the present condition of the
country; that it had no affirmative meas
ures of policy togise relief or quiet any ap-
prchensiens as TO. the future; that its plat
forms, were filed with mere negatives, a
bounding in eloquent language to tell
what Congress cold not DO, but contain
ing not one word showing what it could
slo; that byaits former attacks rupon the
Supreme Court Of the United States j; had
set the example of impairing the indepen-
dence Of the judiciary and weakening the
public confidence Of integrity; that it had
ldinterfercd with Consultations and laws un-
| ttiiIthey had been made to subseryc mere
party ends, that it had tampered with the
currency until we were, reduced to such o
condition that almost every bank note in
circulation rcceivedits credit more from the
person piho passed. it,a than from the bank
by which it was issued; that it had destroy
ed the system Of protection under which
our trade and industry had prospcred. and
had forced q free trade tariff upon the colin-
try shicli did not producereYense enough
to support the ea5evernment,aa and persisted
| in it while the expenditures were necessar-

fense Quantities Of the public lands upon
priv ate Railroad corporations; that It had
absnaeucd all the conservative measures
which were established and sanctioned by
the. "conscript- fathers of the Republic;
and that its whole course Of, policy was
runinous and destructive maintained and
preserved in by the reduction Of the Gov

They continued it until the Missouri Com
