A SIAOiULAtt PUEWO.aEIVOU
Forty years there lived on
I Blue river, in Indiana, a venerable
man of German descent, by name of
B. with bis wife, ulso well stricken
jin years. „\lr. it. was a highly re
i sjiectable citizen, well to do in the
j world, and settled and opened his
farm on Blue river before it Avas a
| ‘ritate. llis house was a large two
-1 story building of hewn logs, two
r >oins above and two beloAv, with a
j two story gallery in front, running
j the whole length of the building.
1 his ancient couple had two daugh
ters, their only children, handsome
and attractive. The elder, when
about twenty, was married to a
young gentleman who resided some
eight or ten miles from Mr. R. The 1
young couple lived together happily !
for about a year, when the young !
wife came to her parents* house to i
he confined. Two or three days af- i
ter her confinement the mother and
infant both died. This was a sad
blow to all. The bereaved husband
and father were overwhelmed with
atilietions. \\ bile he was a widower,,
he sjieut miicli of Lis time in his fa
ther in-law's house. About a year
after his bereavement he married
Mr. R.’s second daughter, with her
parents’ consent,and took her to his 1
home, leaving the old people alone.
One warm autumn evening, in the
year 1820, old Mr. B. sat alone in
his gallery, while his wife was en
gaged about her domestic concerns j
in the house. About dusk a stranger ,
rode up and alighted from his horse, .
and approaching Mr. JL, asked him
it he could he entertained for the
night. Mr. R. agreed to entertain i
the stranger, and desiring him to he ;
seated, took the horse to the stable,,
and returned to the gallery where ,
the straneer still sat. Mr. B.’s ac
count of the stranger was,that he!
appeared to boa middle-aged man,’
but to all appearances active and
alert. lie declined the invitation to
supper and retired at an early hour.
.11 is bed-room was up stairs, and he
also declined the candle offered him. j
Tii., L,tly ’-"ti'•>,!, siikl hoHi-d no
more of the stranger for the night.
Mr. lh ; as usual, rose early the next
morning, while it was yet dim twi
light, hut early as it was he found the
stranger up and equipped for his
journey. The horse was brouglft up
to the gate, the stranger offered to
pay, but Mr. It. refused. Wben about
to leave, the stranger said he was in
great doubt whether or not he ought
to inform his host of what had occur
red to him during the night in his
house, but he felt it a duty to do so
The stranger then informed Mr. It. 1
that he had gone to heel, and lay
with his face to the open window
near him. The moon shone so
brightly ou the window-sill, that he
could see objects distinctly, and
while lying, and looking out the win
dow, he saw an infant, to all appear
ances newly born, pass in at the
window into the room where he lay
that he heard it walk on the floor
—that it repeatedly passed down
and up the stairs—that he could dis
tinctly hear the footsteps on the
stairs—and that it continued to go
about the chamber and up and down
the stairs all night, and that at the
first crowing of the cock for day
light, it passed out of the window,
at which it had entered,and disap
peared. The stranger said he had
not slept during the night ; that he
was under no delusion, but in bis
sober senses bad seen all that lie lmd
related.
Mr. 11. felt much astonished at this
account, and while musing on it the
stranger mounted bis horse and rode
away, and Mr. Ji. saw him no more.
Mr. Jl. could not account for the
stranger’s story, only hy the suppo
sit ion that he had dreamed, or that
lie was deranged. He did not inform
his wife what he had heal’d.
Night tame again, aud Mr. 1L pro
ceeded to the chamber where tho
stranger had slept,.and seated him
self quietly on the bedside. He
walked some time, and neither saw
nor heard anything to confirm the
strange story, amt was in the act of
rising to proceed down stairs, when
lie distinctly hoard a light, hastv
Htep, like that of a small child, com
ing up the stairway from the room
below. The moon partially lighted
tho room he was in.
The step seemed to come into the
room, and to pass about as if seeking
for something - ; it went down the
stairs again as it came, and present \
Iv returned again into the chamber.
I Ail this Mr. R. could hear plainly,
but be saw nothing, though the
wound of the little feet was around
him and often very near him. To
satisfy himself fully as to the source
of this mysterious footfall, Mr. It.
went down stairs, and returned with
a lighted candle. Again he heard
the footsteps, but they did not come
into the room, but passed up and
down the stairs, and walked into the
room below. Satisfied at length
that he could not see the mysterious
walker, or account for the sound
of its step, he proceeded to his
wife’s apartment and informed
her of tho strange events of the
day.
For a considerable time Mr. R.
kept bis secret, but lie did not relax
his efforts to discover the cause of
the mystery ; but all his efforts
proved ineffectual, and still the foot
steps haunted the chamber and the
staircase, and walked the room in
darkness, evading the sight of all
but the stranger who gave Mr. R.
the first information of the nOctural
visitant. Bnt it began to be whis
pered among the neighbors that Mr.
It-s house was haunted. As usual
!in such eases, there was a rush to
! the scene of the all absorbing mya
-1 tery.
In this condition of things, Mr. R.
called on the minister and elders of
his church, and invited them to visit
his house and to witness the super
natural phenomena, and aid him in (
the detection of the trick, if one
were being practised on him, or in
some manner unravel the dreadful
mystery. A evening was fixed on
for their visit, and they allattended,
and it was from the lips of the vene
rable minister that the writer learn
ed the particulars of the story.
The company that met was eight
or ten in number, elderly and sedate
Christian men. After solemn prayer
and exhortation, they proceeded to
their stations and awaited the com
ing of the mysterious visitant They ‘
did not wait long. The step was ,
distinctly heard on the floor of the
upper room; pursuing the sounds of i
the mysterious feet with their can-!
dies, they camp into the upper room; !
they saw nothing, and, pausing
jii, Leant ine little feet tripping
down the stairs behind them.
They then descended again to the
lower room, and finding nothing,
were surprised to hear the same mys
terious sound in the chamber above
their heads. The company then
divided, a person going into the
chamber, and each company carrying
lights as before, tlie steps were dis
tinctly audible ou the stairs, going
constantly up and down, but not
entering either room.
The minister then went to the
staircase in the lower room and post
ed himself so that the light of his
candle shone on a part only of the
flight of steps, leaving the remainder
in comparative darkness. The little
feet descended the stairs until they
came to the last step, on which the
light did not shine, then changed
their course, and were instantly
heard in some unlighted part of the
house, sometimes above, sometimes
below, often in the galleries, but
mostly on the stairs if the lights
wFra
Varying their experiments, they
extinguished all the lights and sat
together, sometimes in one room,
sometimes in another, anti still the
footsteps passed about the house,
moving around them, often near
them, and even in their midst. Again
and again the minister solemnly,in the
name of the livirg God, invoiced the
strange visitant to speak, and tell its
errand, and why it walked in dark
ness,disturbing the inhabitants of the
house, as if seeking for something, or
some person who was not there.—
The minister then seated himself on
the stairs, sitting crosswise, extend
ing his feet, so as to occupy but a
single step of the stairs—the lights
were all removed so that the stair~
way was left in darkness. The foot
steps came and went up and down,
touching apparently, on every step
of the stairway, except the ono occu
pied by the minister, and passing si
lently over that one.
The company remained all night ;
they examined the premises thor
oughly, from garret to cellar, but
nowhere could they discover the
source of the mystery.
A short time after this the vener
able minister related to me the facts
as 1 have detailed them here. I have
not heard that there was any solu
tion to the mystery, but if this pa
per is published it may meet the
eyes of someone capable of furnish
ing the explanation. T do not con
sider it a ghost story. Ido not be
lieve in them ; but there are phe
nomena difficulty to account for
without the intervention of super
natural agency.
A Negro’s Touching Praver. —The
Rev. Hr. Lay; the new Missionary Bi.*h- j
op of the Southwest, was a native of the j’
city of Richmond, and married a lady in
the neighborhood. On his return here
to attend the meeting of the General Con
vention, he brought his wife with him. to j
the great delight of all the family, and
especially of the old family servant*. It
was a great gala day among the si ivcs of
the household, and they expressed their
joy in variety of demonstrations. One
good old negro who was an “ exnorter,”
and a “ class leader,” went of! alone to
pray, in view oft ha glad event. His
piayer was overheard, and this was the
burden of it.

Church Record.
To the People of the United
natetk
The political aspect of the country fills
the public mind with painful apprehension.
The people are everywhere disturbed with
the fear of some disastrous crisis. Many
are alarmed for the safely of the Union. All
are conscious that the sentiment of fraterni
ty which once linked the States together;
even more firmly *han the compact of the
Constitution itself, has been rudely shaken,
and that discord has crept into the relation
ship of commnnities, whicn should have
found, both in live mleieati; of the present
and in the memories of the past, the strong
est motives for mutual regard and confi- (
dence.
What has produced these gb.acral and un
happy convictions ?
It lias been too apparent to escape the
most casual observation that, f or some years
past, there has been manifested! a design, in
the movements of influential political lead
ers, to force the country into an organiza
tion of parties founded on the 4|uestion of
slavery.
The first introduction of this subject into
party politics engendered a controversy
which has constantly increased in extent
and bitterness, mingling with, or usurping
tLe place of all other political questions,
and giving to those party politics a greater
and tuore dangerous vehemence. Consider
ations fit tlie public welfare seem to be cast
aside, io aujee room for wider and more
unrestrained contention on this single and
engrossing theme.
The two great parties in the country,
(the Democratic aud Republican) have been
the chief actors in this fatal contest, if not
its ttithors. Whether they have always ex
erted themselves to allay tha excitement to
which it give rise, or, on the contrary, have i
both of them occasionally employed it for i
the promotion of party purpose, it is not for
us to delormine. • It is sufficient to note that !
the mind es the people has been industri- j
ously exercised by this contest to the ser
vice of sectional agitation, and that in its
progress the teachings of the fathers of the
republic, the light*of history, the land
marks of constitutional power, have been
ricuounced, our old and wrered .traditions of
policy spurned, and the welfare of the pres
ent *rul the hopes ai the future been brought
into Jeopardy in the alternations of passion
ate challenge and defiance between the an
gry disputants.
Tt notour punvto® * * rri 'gu or to de
nounce either of these parties lor their past I
errors or transgressions, but we regard it as
an indisputable fact that by their conflicts
they have been mainly imrumental in pro
ducing the present lamentable state of pub
lic affairs. It would be easy to establish
this position by a reference to events in the I
recent history of the country, with which |
the public is but too familiar; but we pur
posely abstain from all comment* open I
them, as inconsistent with the limits of thia
address, and as tending to revive controver
sies which it is its object to allay. We w til ‘
simply state, that the one, by its frequent j
and unnecessary intrusion of the slavery j
question into party politics, lias exasperated !
sectional feeling at the North and increased j
the growing spirit of disunion at the South, j
while the other has beetj prompt to avail j
itself of these opportunities for anti-sjjnrery j
agitation.
After having so long agitated the country j
by their recprocal assaults, these parlies
are now preparing for a sectional struggle
far exceeding in violence any that has yet
occurred, the results of which may be ois
astrous to the country.
As an indication of the character of this
struggle, of its objects and possible conse
quences, we need only point to the signifi
cant fact, that a convention has been called ‘
bjr OttSJ vs tllV'OO pwi tiro to ©vloot U Oanijldflfb J ,
for the office of Chief Magistrate of the
Union, from which, by the necessary logic |
of its construction, fifteen States of that ,
Union are excluded.
Solemnly impressed with these facts, a ,
number cf gentlemen from different part 6 of i
the country, among whom were members ;
of the present Congress, and of Congresses
of former date, recently assembled in the
City of Washington to deliberate on means
for averting dangers to which they may
lead.
It was the unanimous opinion of the
meeting, that immediate steps should be \
taken to organize a “Constitutional Uniou
Tarty,’’ pledged to support the “ Union, the ‘
Constitution and the enforcement of the
laws.”
This organization was accordingly com- i
menced by the appointment of a “ Central
Executive Committee,” charged with the
general direction of the party and with the
preparation of an address to the people of
the United States.
We naed not assure you, fellow citizens,
that we approach this task with diffidence
and anxiety. We are aware of the difficul
ty which attends the endeavor, at any time,
to persuade men to abandon political asso- :
ciations to which they are allied, either by
interest or preference, and we know how
much the difficulty is increased when party
attachment is heightened by the ardor of
expected success or inflamed by the
zeal ol opposition. But there are, never
theless, juiictures when honest-hearted citi
zens will be prepared, at any sacrifice of
prejudice or opinion, to perform this duty to
their country. It is the pohey of the dom
inant parties to underrate the real strength j
of those whom disapprobation, indifference, ‘
or disgust, force into the position of neu- 1
trals in political warfare. The ordinary
tactics of p irties teach them to discourage
those whom they cannot enlist. But the
fact is demonstrable that the numbers who
occupy this position at all times, and more
especially at the present time, constitute a
most influential portion of*h wlole people.
If the investigation could be made, there is
reason to believe it would result in disclos
ing (he fact that, as parties are now consti
tuted, little less than a million of voters will j
be driven out of the sphere of active partic- 1
ipation in the coming election. The old i
Whig strength of (he country will be found
to furnish no small contribution to this n ass.
Even those of that association who have
been induced to take sides in recent elec
tions with one or the other of the opponent
divisions, acknowledge but scant fealty to
their new leaders ; and the greater number
of them will, it is believed, be prompt to
join their old comrades in rallying to a cou
; s-ervativc field to fight anew battle for the
• cuse of the Constitution aud the restoration
of lost harmony. Barge numbers of the
old Democratic party, wbo withdrew from i
the line of march when they discovered it
leading towards iuternal strife, and the as
sault of the traditional policy by which that
party achieved its former triumphs, would,
we have no doubt, supply a .powerful reiu
i forcemeat to the friends of the Union.
In the Amorican party, to whicn the
breaking up of old organizations gave birth,
and which has been active in the endeavor
to establish an intermediate power between
the contending forces that have eugrot-sed
the field, will be found a very Urge element
of conservative strength to . increase the
volume of the proposed organization.
If we add to all these that mass of quiet,
unobtrusive citizens, who havo always
**unned the turmoil of political life, content
w leave the destiny of the country in the
hauls of those who, in the ordinary condi
tio* of the national progress, were most am
bitions to assume its direction, and who
have reposed such faith in the patriotism of
their lei low men as to feel no concern in
the question of the supremacy of party, but
whom the extraordinary incentives of a cri
sis like the present must awaken to the re
solve of an effort to protect the threatened
safety of the confederacy, we have events
* sufficient by their combination, to farm a
great party, to which additional strengi.
will be imparted by tbo exalted patriotism
of its principle* and objects. Moreove,
. is only just to the two contending par 1
eay, that we do not despair of fiu<- mg 1 a
NUMBER 50.
rinks of each, numerous individuals who,
tired of intestine strife, and a'armed at the
threatening aspect of affairs, will unite with
the only party which holds out to the coun
try a prospect of repose.
Can it be possible, that, with so glorious a
cause before us, an appeal to the patriotism
i of the land founded on such inducemeuts as
I the present exigency supplies, can fall upon
I unheeding ears, or fail to rouse the national
i heart to the great emprise of thie cammandr
; iug duty ? sow, when every honest and
; thoughtful citizen within the broad confines
j of this Union, every true sob of the PUpub
! lie at home and every brother of our line-
J age abroad, is filled with dismay at the sud
i den rapture of the national concord, can it
i be that the power which is able to pour oil
t upon the troubled waters, and bring happi
j uesg back to every good man's fireside, will
1 withhold if** band from the labor, that this
i generation of American citizens, awakened
1 by the clamor that threatens the integrity
1 of our Union, and conscious ?t its faculty to
} command the ending of mad debate, find to
re-establish the foundations of a healthful,
just, and benignant administration of the
duties and benefits of the the Constitution,
; will play the sluggard in this momentous
hour, and incur the everlasting i-ha’ne of
passively looking on upon the demolition of
i this fabric of confederated States ? that
j this generation will prove itself so false to
al! generations to come as to permit, when
i it has the power to forbid, the destruction of
1 this glorious heritage of so many millions of
J /icemen, wuth such immortal memories
| clustering around the path of their history,
with such grand hopes hovering over the
career belore them, the central point of so
many blessings, the subject of so many
prayers of the enlightened humanity of the
whole world ?
Let all men reflect upon the incredible
folly of our quarrel.
The country is wrought into a tempest of
excitement Two great political armies are
contending for mastery. Both are infuria
ted with a rage that threatens fearful ex
tremes. The great mass of law-abiding
eitixeoto are looking on with amazement,
and au ominous apprehension of mischief.—
And yet there is no danger impending over
the republic which human passions have
not created, and which human wisdom may
not prevent.
We have pointed out the chief source of
the present agitation, and think that we
have sufficiently shown that neither of the .
two parties who are now seeking to obtain
the control ot the government can be safely
intrusted with the management of public af
fairs. The only way to rescue the country
from their hands is to organize a party
whose cardinal principle shall be : To re
move the subject of slavery from the arena
of party politics, and leave it to the indepen
dent control of the States in which it exists,
n<i to the unbiassed action of the judicia
ry-
To remove all obstacles from the due and
faithful execution of the provisions lor the
rendition of fugitive slaves ;
To cultivate and expand the resources of
the country by such protection to every
useful pursuit and interest which is compat
ible with the general welfare and equitable
to all;
To maintain peace, as far as possible, and
honorable relations to all nations ;
To guard and maintain the supremacy of
the laws by an impartial and strict admin
istration of the jiowers granted by the
Constitution;
To respect the rights and reverence the
union of the States as the vital source of
piesent peace and prosperity, and the sur
est guarantee of future power and happi
ness ;
To teach reconciliation, fraternity and
forbearance, as the great national charities
by which the Union is to b? preserved, as a
fountain of perennial blessings to the peo
ple.
Let these principles be taken to the
hearts of those who pledge themselves to
the support of the paity, and let them actu
ate their private life as well as their public
duty.
To promote this movement, measures
should be adopted with as little delay as
possible, such as will afford an opportunity
to the party to exert a controlling influence
on the approaching election, and to select
candidates upon whom its vote may be ef
fectually concentrated.
To tins end we propose that a Convention
be immediately held in each State, which
shall assume the duty of embodying the
whole conservative strength of each in such
form as shall make it most effective :
That each of these Conventions shall
make a nomination of two candidates tor
the Presidency (omitting to nominate a
Vice President) to be selected from those
most eminent and approved in public es
teem, one of winch candidates at least, shall
be a citizen of some other State than that
in which he is nominated :
That these two candidates from each
State shall be submitted to the considera
tion of a General Convention, to be assem
bled at Baltimore, at a time that shall be
designated by the National Executive Com
mittee, whirh General Convention shall be
empowered to select from the whole num
ber of the nominations transmitted to it, a
candidate for President and Vice President,
as the candidates of the Constitutional
Union party;
That this General Convention shall con
sist of a representation from each State,
composed of the same number of members
as its representation in the two houses of
! Congress: , _
That this representation of each State be
j chosen either by the State Convention itself
|or id such other manner as such Conven
i tion in view of the shortness of the time for
i the proceeding, may appoint.
A Convention constituted in accordance,
with this plan, we think, would be satisfac
tory to all parts of the country, and alto
gether competent to the duty of a discreet
and judicious selection of candidates. The
I people, who have so much reason, in their
I habitual experience of the insufficiency of
j Conventior.3, to feel no little distrust of
i these bodies, might prefer some other mode
\of nomination, if a better could now be
’ adopted. But in the present emergency,
when delay would render any attempt <o
make a nomination for the coming -elett.on
useless we -re persuaded they w, 1 acqme.ee
in the plan proposed, as the best the time
will alfow. Such a Convention will avoid
Bome of the objections to which the ordma
rv and accustomed composition of Conven
: [fons is exposed. It will be confined to the
: Lie duty of selecting the candidates from
number of eminent citizens presented by
: the several States as worthy of the first of-
I ece in the Government; and it will, mo=t
probably, find in the concurring opinion of
several State Conventions in favor of one or
more individuals, a useful guide to the most;
acceptable nomination. And as it will be
restricted in its choice to the names pre
sented, it will under no circumstances offend
the public wish by selecting candidates ua-
