On the 10th inst, the barn Of James
Harner, of Warwick, Bucks county, Pa.
was struck by lightning during thun-
der storm, and two valuable cows killed.
There were eleven cows in the stable,
but only the two were injured. It is
rather uncommon to hear Of such dam

Mr. Lincoln's Speech al Indian
OpO1is.

Gov. MORTON ANE FELLow-CrT1-
zENs OF THE STATE OF INDIANA: Most
heartily do l thank you for this mag
niicent reception, and while I cannot
take to myself any share of the com
pliment thus paid, more than that which
pertains to a mere instrument-an ac-
cidental instrument, perhaps, should
say-of great cause, ! yet must look
upon it as most magnificent reception
and as such most heartily do l thanA
you for it. You have been pleased to
address yourself to me chiefly in behalf
Of this glorious Union, i'll which we
live; in all Of which you have my SYM
pathy, and as far as may be in my pow
er, will have now and inscperably my
hearty consideration. While do not
expect upon this occasion, or on any
occasion till after I get to Washington,
to attempt any lengthy speeches, l will
only say that to the salvation Of this
Union there needs but one single thing
the hearts Of = people like yours. Ap
plause) The people, when they rise IN
masses in behalf Of the Union and the
liberties Of their country, truly may it
be said "thc gates of hell shall not pre-
vail against it." Renewed applause]
In all the trying positions in which !
shall be placed in many very trying
ones-my reliance will be upon you
and the people Of the United States,
and | wish you to remember now and
forever, that it is your business and not
mine; and that if the Union Of these
States and the liberties Of this people
should be lost, it is but little to any one
man 50 years Of age, but a great deal
to thirty millions of people that inhabit
these United States, and to their poster
ity in all all coming time. It is your
business to rise up and preserve the
Union and Liberty for your sakcs and
not for mine. l desire they shall be
constitutionaly preserved. ], as already
intimated, am but an accidental instrn-
ment, temporary, and to serve but for
limited time, and | appeal to you
again to constantly bear in mind that
with you and not politicians, not with
presidents, not with Office seekers, but
with you is the question shall the Union
and shall the Liberties Of the country
be preserved to the latest generation.
| ["Cheers."

this magnificent welcome, and still
more for the generous support given
by your State to that political cause
which think is the whole world. Sol
omon says there is time to keep ST.
len .e, and when men wrangle by the
mouth with no certainty that they mean
the same thing, while using the same
words, it perhaps were as well if they
would keep in silence. The words
coercion" and s'invasion'' are much
used in these days, and often with bad
temper and hot blood. Let us make
sure, if we can, that we do not under
stand the meaning Of those who use
them. let us get exact definitions Of
these words, not from dictionaries, but
from the men themselves, who certainly
deprecate the things they would repre-
sent by the use of the words. What,
then, is coercion ? what is taxation :?
Would the marching Of an army into
South Carolina without the consent Of
her people, and intent towards them, be
Invasion certainly think it would
and it would be coercion also if the
South Carolinans were forced to SUBJ
nit; but if the United States should
merely hold and retake its own forts
and other property, and collect the du-
ties on foreign importations, or even
without the mails from places where
they were habitually violated would,
any or all of these things be invasion
or coercion Do our professed savers
of the Union, but who spitefully resolve
that they will resist coercion and inva-
sion, understand that such things a.
these on the part OF the United States
would be coercion or invasion of a
State If SO, their idea Of means to
preserve the object Of their great affec-
ton would seem to be exceedingly thin
and airy. If sick, the little pills Of the
homeopothist would be much too large
for it to swallow. lin their view, the
Union, as family relation, would seem
to be no regular marriage, but rather a
sort of free love arrangement, to be
maintained only on passional attraction
BY the way, in what consists the spec
ial sacredness Of State? I speak not
of the position assigned to State in
the Union by the Constitution; for that
by the bond, we all recognize; that po-
siton, however, State cannot carry
out Of the Union with it. / speak of
that assumed primary right Of State
to rule all which is less than itself, and
to ruin all of which is larger than itself.
If State and County in a given case
should be equal in extent of territory
and equal in number Of inhabitants, in
what, as matter of principle, is the
State better than the County? Would
an exchange Of names be an exchange
Of right upon principle ? On what
rightful principle may a State, being
not more than one fftieth part of the
nation in soil and population, break up
the nation and then coerce proper
tionably larger subdivision of itself in
the most arbitrary way? What mys-
terious right to play tyrant is conferred
on district of country with its people,
by merely calling it State? Fellow
citizens am not asserting anything,
am merely asking questions for you to
consider; and now allow me to bid you
farewell.

EVER WROTE
There is q mystic thread OF life
So dearly wove with mine alone,
That destiny's relentless knife
At once must sever both, or none.
There is a form on which these eyes
Have often gszed with fond delight,
BY day that form their Joy supplies,
And dreams supply ii through the night.
There is voice whose tones inspire
Such thrills Of rapture through the breast
| would not hear o seraph choir
Unless that voice could join the rest.
There is a face whose bushes tell
Affections tale upon the cheek,
But palid at one foUd farewell
Proclaims more love than words can speak
There is a lip that mine hath pressed,
And none hath ever pressed before
1t vow'd to make me sweetly bless'd
And mine, mine only pressed il more.
There is bosom all my own,
Hath pilowed oft this aching head,
And mouth which smiles on me alone,
An eye whose tears with miBe are shed.
There are two hearts whose movements thrill
ln unison so closely sweet
That pulse TO pulse responsive still,
That both must besve or cease to bent
There are two souls whose equal flow.
In gentle streams so calmly run,
That when they part,-,bey part ah no
They cannot part, these souls are one.

| There is o stately vessel,
That, four score years ago,
| When heaven above was dark with clouds
md howled the seas below,
| Our fathers with unequailing hearts,
| Launched on the stormy deep;
And the words that rang, as she forwar,
sprang,
Were-Don't give up the ship, my boys,
Don't, don't give up the ship!
Let the tempest rage, and the seas ron high
But don't give up the ship!
And on through maddened surges,
For many a weary year,
The good ship tossed. unfoundered, manned
BY hearts that knew not fear,
With colors to the mast head nailed,
Right onward she did sweep;
And the crew still sang, sang, when leal
she sprang-
Oh, don't give up the ship, my boys,
Don't give up the ship
Though the port be far, and storm unspent
Oh, don't give up the ship
The brave ship was the Union,
And thirteen were the crew;
She reached tho port of Peace. at last;
The vanquished storm withdrew.
With crew increased, through mapy squall
She since has braved the deep;
And the chorus still, through good and ILL,
Was-Don' tgve up the ship, my boys,
Don't give 6p the ship!
Though the sails be rent, and the masts be
split,
Oh, don't give up the ship!
Bot now q mightier tempest
Lowers DER the Ship OF State;
Some OF her crew DER fancied wrongs
Hold mutinous debate.
They tear the starry penuon down.
With curses loud and deep;
But We still, still hear from the rest cheer.
Aud-Don't give up the ship, my boys,
Don't, don't give up the ship
Hold to the helm, brace ali the sals,
And don't give up ship!
What though few desert her,
plank or two DO gone.
The gorions ship shall laugh al wreck,
And still sail proudly on
Enough there ore OF good and true,
Who still their faith will keep;
And their song shall be, on the bll!owy sea
Oh don't give up the ship, my BOYS,
Don't, don't give up the ship
Disgrace and shame track mutiny
Ob don't give up the ship
Nail up, nail up the colors
They shall not be the scorn
OF tyrants, but shall be the pride
Ofmillions yet unborn
Ye malcontents, be wise in time
Let hate and envy sleep
Let US all again, with might and main.
Siug-Dou't don't give up the ship, my boys,
Don't, don't give up the chip!
On heaven rely, your duty do,
And don't give up the ship!
