B&s@ The convenient arrangements and
good order, at the meetings on Friday night
ought to be credited to the Wide Awakes.
1t is very effective organization, and is
doing vast amount of good for the coun-
try. The young men composing the corps
in this city are learning lessons in discip-
line, order, and political doctrine which viii
be of the greatest benefit to them through
life. The time spent in the work before the
organization is well expended. We do not
believe a better organized or drilled battaI-
lion of Wide Awakes can he found in the
country than those of our city. They were
highly complimented by one of the speakers
MIR. Ellsworth-on Friday night, and
merited all he said.

The Babyto,vn Convention.

The attendance at the Convention of
the Douglas faction, at John Rheinlander' 5
Grocery, on Saturday, was fair con-
siderng the hopeless condition of the
party. 1t was a matter of considera-
bic doubt among some of the delegates
whether any Convention ought to be
held at ALL. We understand that three Of
the Townships were fatty opposed to nomi-
mating any regular ticket. But resistance
was useless The great DeaIer-out Of In
structions was on hand in full force. He
thought Convention ought to he held, and
it was held. He thought a ticket should
be nominated, and ticket was nominated.
On motion of Richard Raleigh bolter
of the ticket in '58-Dr G. B. Walker
another bolter, was called to the chair, and
n. Willard and B. F. Kirkpatrick were ap-
pointed Secretaries. Kirkpatrick promptly
refused to act, and one Cranmer was ap-
pointed in his place but he, too, destined
serving, and Mr.. Willard was forced TO 60 it
alone.
The following was fixed as the ratio OF
representation for each township. Pigeon
"a votes knight 4 Center 4; Scott 4 !;
Armstrong 6; German 6 /; Perry a Union 8.
1t was decided, on motion of John S.
Gavitt, that majority of all the votes cast
be necessary TO nominate.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot.
For Representatives.. T. Whttlesey
was nominated, having received 80 votes to
25 for W II. Walker, Jr
John. S. Gavitt Ira A. Fairchild and B
F. kirkpatrick, were named for the Office OF
Sheriff Mr.. Kirkpatrick refused to let bis
name 90 before the Convention. He also
gave notice that the delegates froin German
township did not any longer consider them
selves as members of that Convention, and
would rot consider themselves bound to sup
port the ticket nominated. Poor Ira Fair
child, who has been victimized in some hal
a dozen Conventions, permitted the use o.
his name, and was complimented by receiv-
ing the whole Of four votes, the strength

carl sohurz at Mozart HaII.

Saturday evening it was nOised abroad
that Carl Schurz had returned from Mount
Vernon, and would address our citizens at
Mozart Hall. The rumor had not fairly cir
culated before crowds began to wend their
way in the direction of the Hall. But a
short time elapsed until the large room was
filled with an audience, hungering and
thirsting for a speech. After the building
was compactly flIel, the Glee Club ''struck
up with one of their inspiring songs, in
the midst of which Mr.. Schurz made his
appearance. He was greeted with round
of applause that showed the high estima-
ton in which he is held by our people, and
the strong hold the great political doctrines
he teaches has upon their affections.
MIR. Schurz was introduced by Judge Ba-
ker, and began by saying that those who
came expecting anything like lengthy
speech, would be disappointed. He then
took a quotation from one of Mr.. Douglass
speeches, as text, and devoted his atten-
tion during the greater portion of the even
ing exclusively to that gentleman.
We have listened to great many politi-
cal castigatons, but never in our life have
we ever witnessed so complete an extin-
guishment of = political adversary as was
the case Of Mr.. Douglas at the hands of Carl
Schurz. Calm and dispassionate, the speak
er almost seemed to take hold of the Little
Giant and whittle him to pieces in the pres
ence of the audience, who, by their shouts
and cheers, evidently did not sympathize in
the sufferings of the victim. The friends
and adherants of Mr.. Douglas also received
a portion of the orators attention, and the
deg. -iation of their position was portrayed
in such glowing colors as to almost excite
the pity of the hearers.
1t will be long time before our people
will have opportunity of listening to
such political address again. We do not
believe there was a single man in the Hall
who did not leaving it thanking Mr.. Schurz
in his heart for the evening entertain ment.
Could MIR. Schurz spare the time to make
several speeches in our district, We feel sure
that Judge Law could never go to Congress.
We believe the mass of the people are hon
est, and could they have Mr.. Douglass po-
sitions and changes placed before them as
Carl Schurz can do it. they would drop the
tear-shedding" old gentleman in haste.
After Mr. Schurz finished his speech, the
audience, which was wrought up to the
highest pitch Of excitement, called for
song, which the GIee Club complied with
Loud cries were then made for Chandler,
who arose and informed them that he chose
his own time for making speeches, and that
they couldn't fool him by having him at

q GooD.-A private letter to Il citizen of our
city informs US, that a speech delivered by
Mr.. Carl Schurz in Waterloo, Monroe Coun-
ty Illinois, had induced nearly every Ger
man in the city to come out for Lincoln aud
Hamlin. Many of these Democrats have
been in the party for ten and fifteen years
but convinced by Mr.. Schurz that the only
mission of that party is to extend the area
of slavery, they cheerfully abandon the rot
ten organization and take sides in behalf of
dedicating free territories to liberty.

submitting his claims to the Convention,
was then nominated for Clerk, and Fred Lun-
kenheimer, who, only a short time previous,
stated to several friends, that he would not
go before the Convention received the nom
ination for Recorder.
The great fight was for the Office of Treas
urer. There were two prominent applicants
-Wm. Klusman, of this city, and Leroy
Calvert, of Armstrong township. 1t had
been generally supposed, here, that Klusman
would receive the nomination. But it seems
Mr.. Gavitt had purpose to subserve-aEdi j
like his great exemplar, Stephen A. Douglas
he is perfectly regardless of who goeS
down, provided he goes up. Armstrong is
the strongest Democratic township in the
County; yet, Notwithstanding this, Gavitt
has almost invariably been beaten in that
township. Saturday he thought he would
consumate a mastery stroke of policy
and thereby secure Armstrong township
in the October election, by throwing
all his influence for Calvert and against
Klusman. In order to defeat Klusman,
trick was resorted to worthy of the skill of
the most expert of thimble-riggers. 1t was
the old way of taking a convenient ace out
of the boot. Pigeon Township was entitled
to cast twenty-four votes. To give those
"a votes there were So delegates. Upon
dividing, it was found there were 55 for
Klusman and eight for Calvert; and yet,
when the vote was taken, the ffty-fve were
allowed TO cast only 16 votes, while the
eight for Calvert were permitted to give
eight votes. Klusman's friends were justly
indignant at this outrage upon their rights,
and threatened to make the intriguers who
had cheated their friend out of the nomina-
ton yet feel the weight of their resentment.
Daniel Akin was then nominated for
County Commissioner in the First District,
and Mr.. Hogue, the present incumbent for
the Third District
. After the nominations, Bayless w. Hanna
and Judge Law, we are told, made a few
"incongruvial" remarks. Whether Judge
Law weepngly desired that his bones might
be permitted to rest, when he departs this
life, in the sacred soil of old Vanderburgh,
or not, we did not ascertain.
Thus ended another of those farces for
which Babytown is becoming so celebrated.
1t is hardly necessary for us to state that
the whole ticket, with one exception, was
fixed up in this city, days before the meeting
of the convention, which sho1ld be termed |
more properly a ratification meeting. SO |
patent was this fact, that on Saturday morn
lug prominent Democrat took the list of |
candidates to the Enquirer Office and told |
the editor it was hardly necessary TO await |
the action of the Convention, as the ticket
had already been selected, and he might as
well put it in type and place it at the head |
of his column. 1t turned out that the gen.
tlemau's assertions were correct.

SLAVERY IN DELAwARE.-The few returns
of the census of 1850 which we have pub
lished, when compared with the census Of
1850, exhibit the fact that Slavery contin-
ues to recede just as the white population in
creases and subdivides the land. Slavery is
not profitable on small estates, and just as
the country becomes populated, slaves are
removed to less populated regions. In few
years Delaware will be nominally a Free
State, as Pennsylvania and New Jersey were
for many years. This would have been the
case long since were those who own slaves
in Delaware not prohibited by law from
selling them out of the State. 1t is contrary
to law to bring slaves into Delaware-D Del

Republican Mass Meeting at Boom

! Republican Mass Meeting at Boon
willie.
On Friday afternoon last, the Republican;
of Boonville Warrick county and vicinity
raised beautiful Lincoln pole l 10 feet higt
, surmounted by small tri-colored Union
jack, with the lone star, representing Kan.
sas, in the corner, and near the top q
streamer bearing the names of Lincoln and
Hamlin. This pole is the first one raised il
the township other than Democratic. The
county has always been so Overwhelmingly
Democratic, that no other party has had any
encouragement to make an effort at DEM
onstraton, but now tie case is different
The pole is on the side of the public square
opposite the Brown House. 1t is higher by
some forty or fifty feet than either of the
two Douglas poles on another side of the
square.
On Saturday the town was full ofpeople,
who came for the purpose of witnessing the
assembling Of the first mass meeting, other
than Democratic, ever held in the place. AT
half past one clock the exercises ofthe day
were commenced by the hosting ola fine,
large American flag on the pole. Three
cheers for Old Abe Lincoln, greeted the IN
furling of the flag. They were given with a
vim. The Glee Club then sang song in
excellent style.
DR.. Ralston then announced that Mr. f
Bischof, of the VoIksbote, would address his
German fellow-citizens, in their own Ian
guage, in the School House, whereupon the
Germans present, to the number of about if
ty, went to the said place, where they lis-
tened to an effective and earnest address, in
Mr. BIS best style.
After the above announcement, the crowd
proceeded to the Court House, which was
soon crowded almost to suffocation. The
seats were filed, and every vacant space
along the aisles on the floor was occupied.
Dr. Ralston introduced Hon. Fl. W Els
worth to the audience. Mr.. E. proceeded,
in a speech of an hour and quarter in
length, to hold the audience spell-hound
with his incontroyertible facts, proved by the
record, and his burning eloquence, carrying
conviction with it. The speech was mas
terly one, and worthy the logical, massive
mind of the orator.
After Mr.. L. had concluded the Glee
Club gave an inspiring song, when Mr..
Ellsworth introduced
Hon. Will Cumback This eloquent and
enthusiastic young orator addressed the au-
dience for an hour and a quarter in man
ner that demonstrated to the mind of every
hearer his thorough acquaintance with his
subject, and his wonderful skill in arraying
facts and fAncies in a striking light before
his auditors. He depicted the evils of De-
mocracy aud the beauties of Republicanism
in manner that struck conviction to many
an honest heart.
These excellent speeches, delivered with
so much effectiveness, to men who had,
many of them, never heard anything but
unfair and one-sded Democratic speeches,
cannot fail to bring about the most bene-
fetal results. .
Warrick county has heretofore been Dem
ocratic to the core In 1856 Fremont go:
only lO7 votes in the county Fillmore got
48O Buchanan 1906. We. now predict
that Old Abe will get not less than 800
votes there in 1860. ..... -5.--.E

To chant his soothing hymn

By There is a great drought in Warrick
county. The dust on the road from New
burgh to Boonville is ankle deep. The corn
is suffering for rain. The wells are many
of them dry, and if rain does not fall soon,
there will be absolute suffering amongst
the live stock for water to drink. Water is
already rarity.

DOUGLAS MEETING.-We are told that
there was little Democratic "pow-wow "
at the Court House, on Saturday night, at
which two or three overburdened Democrats
delivered themselves of their load of per-
sonal abuse. Our worthy Sheriff-who is
daily growing more and more desperate, as
the fact that the Sheriff's office is slipping
out of his hands developes itself" pitched
in. in manner truly cantankerous. Four
or FIVE Republicans who were standing in
the door, amusing themselves in wit
Messing the performances-am whom
Mr.. Royston occupied place. were de-
nounced in the Sherifs chaste and
classic language in most unsparing
terms We believe they still survive
the attack, and are in fair way to recover.
at was necessary, these gentlemen tell us,
that Mr.. Gavitt--who had been informed
that day BY several prominent democrats
that they would not support him for Sheriff
should have some person on whom
to vent his spleen, and they presumed
they were as able to bear it as any others.
We were also told that man from Terre
Haute, Bayless W. Hanna by name, made a
speech; and a young Shanklin, who isn't
yet fairly out of the shell, attempted to il
lumiuate the political darkness that broods
over the DougIasites

tempt speech after the address to which
they had been listening. Judge Baker was
then called, who told humorous anecdote,
and informed the crowd that he, too, was
not going to commit the indiscretion of max
ing a speech after the one they had just
heard
Finding it impossible to have any more
speaking, the immense crowd dispersed in
the best of humor We never saw q meet
ing where the enthusiasm was so intense;
where it seemed SO impossible for the audi.
ence to hear enough. We predict that the
Douglas Democracy will hear the echo of
Carl Schurz's speech rumbling all through
the remainder of the campaign
