has shown its inconsistency by the admss>

INDIANAPoLIs. Sept 10.
Notwithstanding the rainy day and night,
an immense number OF people assembled in
front of the Bates house to witness the re
ccption of the presto, t. The house was
beautifully decorated with Chinese LAM
terms
The President was received at the Terre
IIaute depot, and escorted to the Bates
house by prominent citizens and large
torch light procession. For al hour there
was "A fine display of fireworks from the top
of the buildings. Each OF the party were
introduced to the crowd, from the balcony
on Washington street, and were received
with prolonged cheers.
When GEN. Meredith commenced the
welcome address to the President, it wa,
evident there was an organized gang OF
rowdcs, lei by prominent republicans, de,
termircd to prevent the President from
speaking When he commenced return
Ing thanks, cries of all descriptions we've
uttered by the republican rowdies, who
said he should not be heard. The PreSi-
dent spoke short time, notwithstanding
the confusion, aai then retired.
Gen. Grant came out and said For the
credit of your city hear us all speak, but
the response came: 1--WE won't hear any
of YOU
After the party retired there was an al
tcrcation, during which several pistol shots
were fired, and several were wounded.
The disturbance of the meeting was dis
grace to the city, and it is so felt by all
good citizens.

Thursdry last vas indeed IA glorious day
for the democracy of Walnut township
and every true lover Of his country, and
believer in the superiority Of the white
man over the negro, was rejoiced, and more
than rejoiced at the demonstration made at
Argos on that occasion The crowd as
sembled wa nearly double the size Of that
which greet Colfax there few weeks
before, and III feeling was one of perfect
harmony and enthusiasm. The speech of
Judge Turpie, the gallant standard bearer
Of the white mans banner in the campaign,
was able, eloquent, logical and unanswera-
BILE and the remarks Of G. III. Reeve, at
the conclusion of Turpie's speech were
greeted with rounds Of applause. The
radicals present fairly CRASHED themselves
in their rage and made themselves as odious
and were as insulting as they dared be ;
but the democracy could well afford to be
maenanimous in their success and tolerate
their little impropricties, knowing that
whom the Gods would destroy they first
make mad" Walnut township Will give a
good account of itself at the coming cleo

phasi. for a white government for white

to whisper word Of advice
One Of them threatens to discharge his
employees. the poor laboring white men
who depend on their wages for their daily
bread, if they do not vote the abolition dis,
union, niger equality ticket. Worse
than that he threatens to turn his old de-
crepid, white haired father in law, from

starve, unless he will vote "a he, tbs nice

approves Of them and advises him to carry

know you WELL and your history from the

The brutal assault of an organized gang
of radical rufhans, at indianapolis, on the
evening of the 10th inst, at the reception
Of President johnson, upon the Irishmen
who were present at the reception is a new
evidence of the affection of the radicals for
the Irish One Irishman was mo: tally
wounded, two or three seriously injured
and over dozen badly beaten 1t has ev-
er been thus and will ever continue to be
SO; assemble body of Irishmen and give
the knownothing radicals the power to
assault them with safety and they will never
fail to improve the opportunity. Imbucd
with spirit of hatred f,r Irishmen, cath
olicism and all fore cners, they cannot re-
press their natural disposition to prosecute
and pursue them whenever an opportunity
is presented an We have no doubt if they
succeed in their negro-equ0lity scheme,
and thus remove that issue, that the next
demand they will make will he the exclu-
sion Of all foreigners from our shores. =
Only let these radicals feel secure Of their
strength in the land and so sure as the day
comes, will also come a recurrence of the
bloody days of 1854, when the streets of
our principal cities run red with the blood
of hapless men and helpless women whose
only offense was in being born in foreign
lauds. The foreign population can have
no protection or hope of citizenship in this
country except as they sustain the broad
liberal principles of the glorious old Dem
ocratic party upon whose wide banner is
inscribed the motto Of "equal and exact
Justice to all men civil, religious ana po-
litical rights to all white citizens The

their reign, must certainly be insane or
unworthy of the land that gave him birth

The Republican o last week asks US a
question which is certainly a poser. It
inquiries: If Congress by not having rep
resentstives from all the States is trump
Congress. Is not the Presiden. citizen Of
one Of the States upreprescn ed, also a
trump President, and if so can he remove
postmasters, etc?" We can answer as to
the latter part Of the query, that he seems
to 'can remove postmasters some. Rep
re.entatives from the southern States are
refused admission to its body by Congress
itself, aud unlawfully refused admission,
by which it stultifes itself and converts
itself into trump" Congress. The Pres
ident, endorsed by the democracy, claim
that no State was ever out of the Union /,
or ever lost any Of It's rights by the unlaw-
full action Of traitors within its limits, and
that they have ever possessed the right OF
representation in any department of the
government whenever they claimed that
right in the manner prescribed by the laws
Of the country.
