some curious coincidence a friend residing in San

family, and the fact has been remarkable to at

perstitious dread of him. The year following the
third death, the gentleman paid visit to the family,
and the lady of the house said in joc1ar manner

TOadyism and its AntidOte.

+, The sycophant of society, when re-
cognized, is commonly despised; but,
unfortunately, the objects of the har-
py'sf attention are the only parties who
are unaware that the adulation is not
the offspring of admiration of their
DESERTS but of a wish to hull suspi-
cion and win favor for the purpose of
gaining some selfish and ignoble end.
They have noeconception of the fact
that the same reverence would be Of
fered at the most unclean shrine as
readily as at the Worthiest, for the
prospect of similar reward. The syco-
plant, always a happy, a vampire,
seeking nothing but to suck the blood
of those he gently fans to sleep, into
false security and self complacency.
~ The sycophant of rank, of place,
power, or wealth, is always a con-
temptible character; and when-indis-
criminate, is as wretehed an exhibi-
ton of the lowest instincts of humani-
ty as any. 81 But the toady of the
people--who can express the loathing
with which he ought to be regarded?
w kat Is more utterly detestable than
pandering to the injustice, partialities,
prejudiced dispositions and demands
of mistaken ignorance, the ill-bred
and vicious? No flower depth of de-
graded manhood can be conceived
UNNECESSARILY lower than the lowest,
the recipients of their foul toadism.
Herein consists the dagger of Dem
ocratic institutions, and the only sal
walton and security is in universal
education, with its usual elevation of
moral principle. Preaching alone
will never succeed in securely elevat-
ing and properly, so-called, evangelis-
ing the masses. On uncultiYated
masses it can produce but uncultiyated
results. Their reverences will doubt
less protest, and assert the all efficiency
of the simple Gospel Word But we
appeal to history and the records of
missionary enterprise. The Gospel
was never meant to supersede the
increasing resources of mans capaci-
ties rather to direct and add the
protecting cap-sheaf to them.
The ignorant are never safe, can
never be relied on to. Withstand the
Representations of educated rascality,
to perceive the cunning devices and
designing encroachments Of power
and ambition, or to prevent theirvery
fears of tyranny being enlisted in the
service of contemplate despotism. A
thoroughly preached, but ignorant,
community, is subject in the service
of selfshness to be led away in whirl
winds Of passion and prejudice, and
into such courses of cruelty and un-,
righteousness, as cultivated humani-
ty contemplate with horror. d.

Coal Oil Near AeHburgh.

nos NEWBURGH, April Il, 1856.
Editors Of the Journal: ssssss.sY
In one of your issues of this week,
/ saw notice of the oil discovery on
my farm near Newburgh. One of my
neighbors, (Mr. Stokes Garwood,)
came out to see it whilst I was absent
from home, and gathered the speci-
men handed you by Mr. Hunt. I
cannot but thank those two gentlemen,
as well as yourself, for the Kindness
you have thus conferred. BUTT was
not my intention to give publicity to
the discovery, until / had watched it
closely for. few days more, and pro
cured good specimen. 'AsA 4 =
Ialso wished to obtain the opinions
of those who regard themselves as
practical oil men. This Il have since
done The indications" have been
visited by Mr.. David Resher, Super
intendent of Mr.. r. r. REQUESTS Coal
Bank, above Newburgh, who has sunk
some fifty oil wells, and is we'll ac-
quainted with the subject. Mr.. Burns,
whose farm joins Mr.. o. p. Akin $
farm, on the Ohio, midway between
Newburgh and Evansville, who has
heretofore resided near the Oil re-
gions of Pennsylvania, Mr.. John
Hutchinson, of Newburgh, and many
others, who are good judges, all OF
whom pronounce the indications of a
superior kind. Mr.. j .siHutchenson,
who is quite scientific man, informed
me that he had subjected the specimen
| he gathered to all the scientific tests,
known to the Oil profession, and
found it 10 be good aIIllnainatiag Oil
It was discovered by my nephew,
w ID Lewis, of Princeton, Ind, and
imlyseIf: aon the 9th inst. Since that
time many of my neighbors have come
forward. and informed me that they
had often observed those very same
appearances upon the surface of the
water; some of them months, and

some of them years ago. Mr.. j.
Keller noticed it some four months
AFRO. Mr.. John Hunt six, and Mr..
Herman Whye, as he informed me
last evening, three or four years ago.
Mr.. Whye chopped the timber from
the ravine. These gentlemen are all
residents of Newburgh.
The gentleman from whom I pur-
chased the farm (Mr. Henry Fenguay,
Jr.), some years ago, visited the
''spot, ON the 18th inst, in company
with Col. Thomas Bethel, and in
formed me that he had often sat upon
rocks near where it flows, and watch
ed it, and wondered what it was. Mr..
Fenguay resides on the NeWburgh
and Evansville road, three miles from
Newburgh.
That it is coal oil I have no doubt.
Those who take an interest in oil mat
tiers are kindly invited to call and
take a look at it, and determine for
themselves. v4
The geological formation of the
place from which it issues, and sur
roundings, are not dissimilar from
many other places in Southern In
diana.
I regard it as matter of public in
terest, and would take it as kind
ness if you would give this letter an
insertion in your valuable journal,
that the public may see it, and those
who. are judges assist in determining
its value, and also, the fact as to
whether coal oil can be found in pay
ing quantities in Southern Indiana;
If not on my farm, elsewhere. e
