JT Newton Booths lecture at the Col
lege chapel yesterday, was one Of the finest
efforts We have ever listened to in this city.
The audience 10 attendsucs was the largest
we have seen at the College, and every one
seemed to be delighted with the peculiar
excellence of the effort.
Mr.. Booth possesses a Literary talent OF
the highest order His composition is al
most fauliless, and his style ofspeaking is
exceedingly entertaining. We have hardly
heard a public leo who can hold his
audience so perfectly spel bound. His
influence over the hearer is wonderfully
nesmeric. Every word is the right one
and properly pronounced. Every period
Is finished with the most classic TASTE -
Every paragraph thrills with thought. nm

Terror Stricken,

The call for au Opposition Convention
in Sullivan county has aroused the ire of
one of the hitherto unterrifed, who, over
the signature Of "a Friend to the Union,"
which would have been properly written
had he addsd, "while the Democracy holds
the offices"-pitches into the persons max
ing the call, using those very powerful and
annihilating arguments which the National
Democrats, alone, can use-"Abolition-
ists," "Negro Lovers" Renegade Demo-
erats," and other equally ehaste and classic
epithets.
Some of those who signed the call, the
writer says, "have but lately washed
themselves clean of Democracy" If they
have succeeded in that, they have accom-
plished Herculean task and deserve hon
orable mention among the wonders Of the
world. We are inclined to think that IA
Friend of the Union" will have the mslan-
choly pleasure of adding great many
other names to the list OF 7" Renegade Dem.
ocrats'' by the ides of November; and we
imagine the task will be more melanc choly
than pleasing. though 1t will take an inf
mite deal of scrubbing to "wash them clean
of Democracy"
"a Friend" &e., warns his fellow -citi-
gems against those who once were Demo-
crats-that they will sell their friends the
first chance they get to make anything by
it. That has been we'll known rule
among Democrats-videJ j. B. and others
but when Democrat becomes penitent,
and turns from the error Of his ways. these
rascally tricks. which he once loved, he
learns to hate, and there is reasonable
hope of his becoming honest.
We advise "a Friend to the Union" 10
take il az philosophically as he can-he
will have to become used to it. The fabric
of Democratic despotism in Old Sullivan
is fast crumbling to dust The night o
Democratic darkness is far spent, and ths
dawn of the true light is fast approaching
Let the frsemeu of Sullivan county rejoice
for the day of their political redemption
draweth nigh.

The State Central Committee of the Re
publican party have called a Convention
of the people of Indiana who are opposed
to the policy Of the present Administration
of the General Government. to Federal cor
ruption aud usurpaiien." &c. This call is
liberal ard right. aud would seem TO ad-
NIT of no other construction than call for
an sffiliation Of all Wings and Americans
opposed to the sham Democracy. The
Chairman of that Committee, an editor,
says through his paper, in substance, that
a coalition of political parties is not invI-
ted. but such sincere opponents as are de-
scribed; and that an American, a. such i,
should not be nominated"
Whilst know the fact that the Amer
leans and Wings in vigo county intend to
give their undivided support to conser-
vative ticket, that may be nominated on
platform as liberal as the call implies, they
do not care whether any one is placed on
the ticket representing their particular SEN
timents or not, (that is alone for the Re-
publicans in their discretion 10 determine,)
but they will not, under the name of oppo-
nents, surrender their individuality or
identity. So far as this county is concern
ed, they do not expect to attend the Con-
vention as delegates, from reasons that are
and are satisfactory. They
are content that the Republicans shall
choose candidates as they shall deem ex
pedient and proper.
That the candidates shall be conserva.
tive. and the platform agreeable to the
Whigs and Americans, is not a concession,
to be made. as it will com
promise none, except those who prefer ex
to reason aud success. An OPP
position thus formed will redeem the State
and General Government. and should be
desirable.
