The Democracy Of Terra Haute,
Indiana. held a meeting and passed
resolutions repudi,ting the action Of
their delegates to the New York Con
vention. They also resolved not to
support any one of them who proved
false. The Wisconsin Democracy are
more easily led than those Of Indiana.
They We're more efectually BETRAYED,
and ret tle7 dare not murmur.

Public Speaking.

The political campaign, so far as
relates to public speaking, was opened
in this city on ednesday night, bv
a speech from PHILo 4. ORToS ESQ.
of Darlington But little Importance
can be attached 70 Mr.. ORroSs re-
marks except perhaps that it may be
looked upon as an index TO the pro-
gramme Of the campaign speaking on
the part of the Democracy. The
speaker evidently labored under great
embarrassment, whether from the un-
eeremonious skedadling of the par
" leaders soon after he commenced.
OF from some other cause we are not
prepared to say. We have heard Mr..
ORTON on several occasions when he
did far better than on Wednesday
evening.
The speaker started of by eulogi-
zing the Democratic National Con
vention as the most patriotic assem-
blage ever held in the United States.
The platform and candidates were
purely Democratic, and the party the
only one that could save the country
from anarchy and ruin. He discoursed
at length upon the reconstruction
policy of Congress, claiming that it
was unconstitutional and void. and
that the white people of the South
should rule the South The plan of
the Democracy was TO overthrow the
Congressional reconstruction acts by
military force. and put the govern
ment OF those states into the hands
OF the whites He claimed that the
Southern people were loyal. and re-
terred % their sighting FIVE years to
MAINTAIN their rights as evidence. He
reJoiced that slavery was abolished,
never again TO stain our national
character. The base passions aroused
by the war had been obliterated as was
evident by the unity manifested by
the rebels and Democrats during the
National Convention. He pronounced
the Republican platform a lie, and
the party untrue to the Union. He
attempted to bolster up the financial
policy of the Democracy by claiming
that Col. COBB sustained it. His re
marks IN relation to finance eyinced
a slight knowledge Of the speaker on
that subject, or " waiting for some
thing to turn up, whereby he light
know the course to be pursued in this
locality. He closed by saying, let BY
cones be by-goues, and let there be
union of hearts and not Of hands only
as desired by Republicans. The New
York Convention was a union of the
North and South in reality. The
South lie claimed had suffered more
at the hands of Republicans than did
cur forefathers from George III. and
the Democracy seeks to restore them
to the Union as it was.

AMENDMENT ADoPTED.-Th amend
ment to the Constitution, known as
the l4th article. has been adopted by
the requisite number of states to
make it part of that instrument.
This amendment settles the suffras e
question in the Southern States be-
yond the power of the rebels to change
it except by another revolution, which
Is threatened.

The following Hawaiian descrip
ton of it we commend 10 the atten
ton all . who love the festive circus. !
If it was not written by Lougfellow
it might have been:
THE CIRCUS OF CASTILLO
You who love the festive Circus,
The good old-fashioned Circus;
Love the sports of the arena
Love TO see the magic circle.
Love to scent the fresh-strewn saw-dust.
Love the glitter of bright spangles.
nd the sight of speck new fushings;
Love to listen to the savings
OF the wearer of the motley,
With his bills and paint, and bauble:
Love 10 hear the Clown, the Jester,
Open out his merry budget,
Laugh at all his quibs and bubbles,
And his venerable Joe Miller"
Which used to set our grandsires
All agos with fun uproarous;
Ye who love to see the daring
Of the fearless bare back rider,
As he dashes round the circle
On his steed so wild, vet docile,
Love to see the lady riders,
The Queens of the arena"
So fairy like and graceful,
As they seem 10 swim before you,
Like airy clouds and heecy,
From which the face of Venus
Seems to smile so swwsetly on you:
Ie who love feats acrobatic,
Interspers'd with classic poses,
And the trapezist intrepid
His spinal column risking-
Swinging by the neck in mid air,
And performing feats so thrilling
That you gaze with fear and trembling,
Victim OF fascination,
Half Of fear, half Of pleasure,
le who love the pretty ponies,
So cunning and so funny,
And the wonderful trick horses,
Who know much az human"
1e who love TO see all these things,
And to see them, pay your greenbacks,
If you'll listen, / will tell you,
here YOU can go and see them,
At the Circus OF CASTILLO;
OF amusement and instruction
Where the lover Of the Circus,
OF the sawdust and the spanales.
Vi the dashing bare back riders.
And the lovely lady riders,
And the Acrobats and Tumblers,
And the intrepid Trapezists.
And the Clown the festive Jester,
Himself cen Dan CASTILLO,
Whose other name is Menus.
those Witty scintHlasions
Shine Ike diamonds Of fine water,
v no never yet has venture'd
To be as funny as he car be,
For fear he'd make his hearers
Fairly die with cachination.
You can see HIM at his Circus.
And also Billy Madden
Who's JOklst of rare humor
And who X cps the folks laughing
All the time he stands before EN-
axe my advice and 90 there,
When 1t comes into the city,
The brilliant Street Procession
Which will take place in the morning,
just before the exhibition
In the large and new pavilion!
The delight of al behOlders,
Together with more wonders
Than IN these hasty verses
| can begin to tell YOU:
But don't forget to see them,
At the show of Dan Castillo.
His the only show where wonders,
Sights and grand attractions,
Such as | have told Of can be
Seen for love OF money!
So remember Dan CASTILLO
And see him when he comes here.

Aid TO Rebels.

The Tribune of Saturday inquiries
"wko gave aid aud succor to the reb-
els 7" We think the following extracts
frem the Tribune during the early stages
of the rebellion ought to answer The
TriGune's question:
From the Tribune of Nov. 9, 1860.
If the Cotton States shall become sat-
isiied that they can do better out OF the
Union than in il, zee insist on letting them
go in peace. The right to secede may be a
revolutionary one, but it erists nererthe-
less.
We must ever resist the right of any
State to remain in the Uuion and null
lify or defy the Ia US thereof. To with-
draw from the Union is quite another mat
ter Thcnerer considerable section Of our
Union shall deliberately reSolre 10 30 out,
We shall resist all c0ercire measures design
ed to keep it IN. We hope never to live
| in q republic whereof one section is
pinned to the other by bayonets.
From the Tribune, Nov. %, 1860.
If the Cotton States unitedly and
earnestly wish to withdraw peacefully
from the Union, are think they should and
rould be allOTed to 90. .4ny attempt 10
compel them by force to remain r0ald be
contrary TO the principles enuncidted IN the
Immortal Declaration of Independence,
contrary to the fundamental IDEAS on
which human liberty is based.
From the Tribune, Dec. II, 1860.
III it (the Declaration of Independ-
ence) justified the secession from the
British Empire of three millions of col
onists in l776, ,re do not see why it uould
not justify the secession Of fire millions OF
Soufhroas from the Union in 1861.
From the Tribune. Feb 2s, lsGll
Uhenerer ii shall become clear that The
great body of the Southern people hare be-
come concinsirely alienated from the Union,
and anrious 10 escape from ii, WE WILL
DO OUR BEST TO FORWARD THEIR
VIEWS.
From the Tribune, Jan. 90, lsGa.l
If three months more of earnest fight
ing shall not serve to make serious
impression on the rebels-if the end OF
that term shall find us no further ad.
vanced than its beginning-if some
malignant Fate has decreed that the
blood and treasure of the nation shall
ever be squandered in fruitless efforts,
let as boW to our destiRg, AND MAKE
THE BEST ATTAINABLE PEACE.
