We have information from reliable source that
there is reason to hope that an Eastern invention
has succeeded in devisng processes for spinning
fax by machinery. Many of our readers will re-
member the stir created by the efforts of NJ Claus.
sen, some years since, in that direction Other ef-
forts have been made 1T various tines to attain this
desirable end, It's sad indeed, that the thing has
been tried in England for one hundred years past
"A Mr.. Allen, of Boston, hasnow succeeded, as
he thinks, in devising simple way of making the
fax-cotton, and has contrived the necessary ma
ehinery-or notifications of that used for cotton
to spin it. He exhibits specimens Of the prepared
fibre, OF thread, and offabrics woven from it. 1t is
said that he has sold to Company the right to use
his sinvention in Massachusetts, for $50 O0O and that
the Company purchasing has since been offered
Sl50,000 for it. Should this prove success, who
can estimate its importance to Illinois?
1t will be recoected that the ANALYSIS of prairie
soils made in England at the instance of Mr. Caird
the distinguished agriculturalist, exhibited a re-
mirkable richness in the elements necessary for the
production of fax. The Northwestern States can
produce all the fax that the world can buy and spin
for hundred years. Once let it be made practi-
cal to spin fax by machinery, and new staple will

Col. Allen MAY.

This noted individual turned mp last
week at indianapolis. and, as usual, he
was ready TO fight with any one, and not
finding a Republican to pitch into, let
drive at Mr. Dunham, Secretary of State
Dunham, not liking such a display of
muscle. went into the old Democrat and
gave him a confounded thrashing. which,
so wound him mp that he expressed himself
as through with politics, and we under
stand the Democracy were not sorry to
hear the resolution. May has always been
bore to the party.-CroTn Point Reg.
We beg leave to differ with the Register
in regard to Col. May being "bore' to
the Democratic party. He drew large
crowds to hear him speak in this county in
1858, and had it not been for his powerful
efforts-powerful in sound if not in sense
there is no telling how large the Repub-
lican majority would have been The tide
had set in strongly against the Democracy
when he made his appearance in our midst.
He threw himself fearlessly into the breach
and succeeded by his clarion notes in rail-
lying the scattered and discounted cohorts
of Democracy once more to the scratch
Say not, you Register man, that such a
gallant champion has always been "bore"
to his party, unless you want to be consid
cred ridiculous. ~ GlDeL

An.Indianian Lynched i'm Texas.

The Lafayette Journal gives the following de.
tailed and well authenticated account of the lynch
ing of an Indiana preacher in Texas for not preach
ing exactly to suit the shareholders there:
We have learned from a gent eman residing in
the south part ofths county, that Solomon McKin-
ncy well known in this section as a Campbellite
minister, has recently returned from Texas with a
furlough and pass written on his back. The gen
tleman referred to is well known about Newton and
Pleasant Hill, in Montgomery county, and we have
heard an actual inspection of his back in both OF
these PAGES left no doubt in the minds of those who
saw it that he received msst unmerciful fiagela-
ton. We learn that Mr.. Mckinney with his wife,
and an acquaintance also with his wife, went to Tex
as some time since on visit to friends residing
there. 1t Is said that the reverend gentleman while
in this country entertained serious doubts as to
whether black men had any souls at all, and was
considered decidedly pros slavery in his notions
While in Texas he was invited to preach sermon
on the duties of M lster and slave, which he did
lie was soon after waited on by company of men
with request to leave the country at once, and
of the party, by way OF enforcing attention to the
order, shot at him. without however, injuring him.
He commenced making immediate arrangements
to leave.
That same night, however, company of men
again called on him at midnight, and under pre-
tence Of carrying him and his friend beyond the
reach ola mob, which was represented OH the way
to hang them, got them away some distance from
the house, bound their hands and administered to
them ten lashes apiece. making about eighty lashes
for each one of the prisoners. They were then re-
leased with positive orders to leave once, which
they dd. Mr.. Mckinney's friend is said to be a
man eighty years ofage, and he, is probably fifty.

Diplomatic adviccs here, says the Trib-

materially different version of the Mococco
war from the Spanish accounts. The
Moors had proved more formidable en-

which had entered the Spanish camp, had
seriously impaired the efficiency of troops
One of the principal causes ofthe war was
the representations made to France, by her
diplomatic agent. that the Moors were dis

O'Donnel was to salute the Queen from

only after an invasion had begun, and the

From the Lafayette Daily Courier.

The friends of Col. May, at Michigan City, held
a meeting last Saturday evening to express their
Indignation on account Of the shabby treatment re-
ceivedhy that gentleman at the hands of the Dem
ocratc State Convention The gallant services of
the Col. in many hard fought political campaign,
were properly ventilated in moving preamble
after which the resolutions were adopted:
Resolred, That Col. MAY, considering his avor-
dupois, did not have proper ,rsiyf in the Convcn-
ton. ..,
Resolrcd, That Cyrus L. Dunham in outgcner-
alinS Col. May delegate to Charleston. and af-
terwards adding injury to insult by kicking him
in a public place, (on the abdomen,) which he
has since been compelled to carry in a sling, de
serves to be cassed disorganizer and for the f-
ture may be considered outside the pale of healthy
organization.
Resolred, That the devotion of Col May to the
Little Giant in opposition TO the ''world, the flesh
and the devil, merits our hearty commentator,
and the imputation of any hankering after the flesh
pots of Egypt in this connection, is Black Rcpub-
lican lie.
Resoired, That Col. May can whip Dunliam in z
fair fight, and that to strike or kick below the belt
is not in accordance with the rules of the prize ring
Resoired, That we unanimously take drink.
The Convention Immediately adjourned with
three cheers for Col. May.

date for Speaker, wrote as follows:
WAsmNGToN Cry, Jan, 10, 1860.
GENTLEMEN: The claims of public duty
here will deny me the pleasure of partici-
patinS. personally in the compliment
which you have rendered to the Hon. Bailie
Peyton. L regret this the more, since one
OF the objects intended is to 'bring toccth-
er mon of position and influence from diff
ierent sections Of our common country. in
order that they may unite in such an ex-
pression oil sentiment as will tend to pro-
mote peace and good will throughout the
Union"
No man, North or South, who is anima-
ted by patriotic impulse, or who appre-
ciates his citizenship in its high and ma
tional sense, can hesitate to approve the
expression ofscntiment" which you pro-
pose. Events have recently occurred.
which the reason and Justice of the coun-
try deplore and condemn, not only as
wrong in themselves, but calculated to
loosen the ties of fraternity and fellowship
by which our people should be bound to-
gether. The unworthy attempts of par
tisans to charge the responsibility of those
individual acts upon whole section and to
arraign it before the world as sympathiz-
ing with such criminality, has provoked a
feeling OF deep Indignation, because of this
shameful injustice. The North knows it's
duties and its rights, and means to fulfill
the one and to assert the other. in the Tn
ion and under the Constitution 1t has no
desire to infringe upon any right of the
South, nor to encourage, palliate or Justify
outrages upon or invasion of its territory,
or any means by which they may be Incl
ted; nor to disturb those relations of
brotherhood by which we have grown into
the dignity and proportions OF a great na-
/ ton.
The Constitution was framed and adopt-
ed in spirit of Cancellation and mutual
concession. If we do not inherit all the
virtues, we may at least cherish the pre-
cepts and the example of the fathers who
projected that work of wisdo m and patriot
ism. In the dark hours of the Republic,
when civil commotion threatened perils
more serious than the rash rawlings of dis
unlonists and agltatorS now do. that Con-
stitution proved to be our refuge and
safety. Let us cling to it in this period
of discord and strife. as the best hope AMI
guide, each section vieing with the other in
renewing its devotions to all the compro-
misses under which it was formed, and all
obligations which it imposes Accepted
with this purpose, there will be no North
or South, no East or West, but content
ed happy people, enjoying the blessing
and sharing the prosperity of COM
mon and glorious Union. rts foak

last, applied to the Marion Circuit Court
for mandamus for the purpose of dispos-

900. William NJ. French some 5000
Jesse /. Alexander some 500, and the re.
mainder by other parties; that Dunham
the present Secretary of State by appoint
ment, had refused to compare the returns
of the vote made to him and had so refu-
sed in the presence of Gov. Willard and
others, after the Governor had sigaifed his
willingness, to see the comparison made;
and that he was wrongfully and illegally
deprived Of the Office he had been chosen
to fill by majority Of the voters at the

A Conspiracy Brought to Light!

At a recent union meeting in Knoxville, Tenn,
Judge BAILEY, formerly of Georgia, made aspecch,
in noticing which the Whig Of that citr--Parson
Brownlow's papcr--rcmarks: s.
"Thc Judge made ono startling disclosure. which
was new to us all. lie said that during the Presi-
dcntiai contest Governor Wise had addressed let
ters to all the Southern Governors-and that the
one to the Governor of Florida h,d been shown
hini-in which wise said that he HAD ANiARMY
IN READINESS TO PREVENT FREMONT
FROM TAKING HIS SEAT. IF ELECTED,

wrote's g9ifass8l snfs eal IS .sfsae
Similar statements to the above have been made
before, but not upon such reliable and undonbsed
authority. How much worse is old John Brown
than Gov. Wisci The only difference between
them is that Brown committed the overt act and
Wise fully intended doing so upon the happening
of 9 certain event, contrary to the wishes of his
highness. and yet the latter is talked Of for Presi
dent by the Democracy. How can honest men
longer act with party whose leaders are thus dis
loyal to the Constitution and the lawsl

The Disunion Party.

The Cincinnati Ga.ctfe says the Democratic par
ty has lost ali claim to that noble tite and should
be hcnceforth know as tho Disunion party Its
in the House at Washington have
consumed the time of the csent session in utter
ing sentiments that, ifavowed in acts, should hang
their authors. In round numbers, about twenty of
these Disunon speeches have been made since the
opening of Congress. They have all been made
by men who were prolesScdly Democrats, and of
the Administration party. The Americans and
Douglas mcnhave not spoken Dsunion. Neither
have the Republicans. This reasonable talk has
come wholly from the men who supported Bocock
and Hamilton for Speaker. These men have de-
clarcd that in the event of the election of Repub
lican President they would dissolve the Union.-
They have gone further They have declared pub
cly and privately their desire for Southern Con-
fcderacy, and their belief that they were working,
to that end when they voted for Democratic
Speaker of the House. The other day Mr.. Pugh
of Alabama. who Processes himself an independent
Southern Rights SeccSSionist Democrat, voted for
Mr. Hamilton. of Texas, on the distinctly avowed
ground that Mr.. Hamilton's election would tend to
the purpose he, Mr.. Pugh, and his constituents, had
in view-Dsunion- that he old not doubt when
the time came for them of Alabama to strike their
blow, Texas would he with them. Mr.. Hamilton
thus endorsed Disunionist, was supported by
the entire Democratic vote ofthe House. The peo-
pie Of the North. who love the Union, who see in it

THE REPUBLICAN.
The Presidency.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in recent issue
advocating the nomination of Judge Nc
Lane for President. says the nominee of
the Chicago Convention. in order to be
successful, must not be Justly obnoxious
to any section ofthe country, and must be
a man of prominence and known charac-
ter. The Gazette classes those who have
been named as Republican or Opposition
candidates in four divisions. First, those
who are extreme Republicans, with deci-
ded leaning to abolitionism. The repre-
sentative of this class is VIM. Ii. Seward.
Second, moderate Republicans, of whom
John McLane is the representative. Third,
these who entertain Republican principles,
but stand aloof from its organization.--
This class is represented by Edward Bates
and Millard Fillmore. Fourth, Southern
Oppositionists, who are not Republicans
in sentiment, such as Bell, Crittcnden and
Bolts. The Gazette says the nomination
of Seward is improbable and his election
impossible under any circumstances. 1t ia
vors for President man of the second
class, and thinks that Judge MeLanc is
Just the one. While it would support
Fillmore, it does not think it expeaient to
nominate him. Bates, it thinks, stands q
better chance for Vice President than for
the higher Office.
We agree with the New Albany Tribune
Judge McLanc is a strong man, but too old
for the position. The Tribune says: eff
the Republicans had nominated him four
years ago, instead cf Fremont, as they
should have done. Mr. Fillmore would
have yielded the field to him, and he would
have been iriumphantly elected.
If this be so it is to be greatly deplored
that Judge McLane was not nominated IN
stead Of Fremont. But what Authority the
7riyune has for saying that Fillmore
would have yielded to Judge McLanc we
know not, and whether the latter would
have run any better than Fremont. taking
the whole field over, is entirely a matter
Of conjecture.
