New Albany is undoubtedly one of

the best flour markets in the State. At retail the article is worth 5-7 per barrel.—-V. A. Ledger.

Altogether a mistake Mr. Ledger. Craw

fordsville is far ahead of Albany or even N. York City, in reference to the llour trade.

Flour is now selling we believe at §7,50 per

barrel, and has sold as high as 88, notwithstanding the last steamer's news knocked it down 25 cts. on the barrel in N. York

t^ f. '.. -'A

4* iC5?~ The N. A. Ledt/cr, speaking in reference to the number of papers in the Stale

that will oppose the enactment of a Maine law says, "we are apprehensive, however,

that if this question is lo be forced into politics, as an attempt is now being made to

do, more than ten papers will be found in

opposition to the scheme. We arc quite well aware that a g.ood deal of loud brag

ging is being done just at this time as to

the strength of the Maine Law in Indiana.

But tf a baker's dozen of out and out Maine law men—elected on that question without

regard to politics—are chosen to the next

General Assembly, we shall be wofully deceived. The probabilities now are that in

consequence of the real or feigned violence of the ultra prohibitionists, no restraining

liquor law whatever will be passed by the next General Assembly. At least we fear

that such will be the result.

R3T Douglas' Nebraska Bill appears to

cause some people a deal of trouble and un

easiness. Some of the wfSe philosophers of

the day insist that if the "Missouri Compromise" is repealed, we increase slavery.—

That's poor logic to preach up now-a-days.

The passage of the Nebraska Bill would

probably extend the era of slavery, but that

it would add one more slave to the number

in the country, is all stuff. To import slaves

is piracy, while piracy is death. How then, will Douglas' bill add to our slave popula

pegs, ifcc. If this were so, the number'

nnght be increased by the passage ot the

bill. But such is not the case. Colored

folks are up in thc same manner that other people art-, and will increase ju -t as

fast with Nebraska a free state, as if Ne-1

braska wa a part of Kentucky or any otlur

slave state. All this great cry about the increase of very is full of sound and fury,

signifying nothing.

Congress is still in a blaze of excitement jrejv

consequence

cription of the opposition party, as we have

seen it, presents a spectacle truly ludicrous

and disgusting. Some of the members are

represented as marble fixtures at their tables, with solemn mein, and both hands up

lifted in holy horror, bending over the Mis

souri Compromise, while the wanton glare

of the eye, ar.d the troubled expression of

the face, too plainly evince that tlu-y would

'...

ciJC1V opposed to the idea, that

slavery into any territory or state, or exclude

it therefrom. We believe the people of any

territory belonging to the United States,

have the inherent right of self-government,

equally with the people in the S.ates. The very first principle of true Democratic doc

trine is, that no citizen can ever loose his identity. No one denies discretion to the

inhabitants of any stale in regard to this

matter of slavery, and why? Why simply because the majority of any state must al

ways rule in the enactment of any law which

does not infringe upon the constitution which binJs lhe states logethu Then if we hap

pen to remove from the state of Indiana to lhe territory denominated Nebraska, is our

voice to be siienced, and are the operations

of our will to be suspended during the interim before this territory is to be introduc

ed into the Union as a state"? This would

he a species of political murder, which we

do not bJievc would be at all consistent

with this blazing age of civil and religious liberty. Citizenship exists any where within

the confines of the United States, and no man or set of men can annul it without

trampling ruthlessly upon that consecrated

safeguard which we have received from the

hands of our Fathers, the constitution of the United States. Ilalf-bred politicians

would fain teach u-\ that there is someth

ing of in unapproachable sanctify about

compromise measures. Wo believe they

are good enough in their place, and often

absolute and inviolable by any means.—

Then if Douglas' Bill does transgress upon the principles contained in the Missouri

compromise, what matters it? If his prin

ciples are founded in reason and truth, let them prevail, and the triumph of reason and

truth will follow.

jCST Our readers doubtless before this,

have all had full accounts of the trial of Jacob Coleman which occurred in this place

last week. We can hardly recollect an in

stance, where small causes have ever before produced such great results. It has

becn an almost exclusive topic of conversation in almost every circle, an.l opinions

have becn freely expressed in all grades of age and judgment. Eloquent speeches have

been made, and learned decisions rendered

on every slreetcorncrand in every bar-room, that would surprise the Romans themselves,

and humble the very glory of Justinian and

Grolius in all matters or' justice, law and

equity. We feel pained that such a state of

tilings docs exist, because we apprehend jj

that evil only can grow out of it. We

think such discussions and such verdicts

as we have mutually agreed as a people and I

as a nation, to repose our liberties, and the

method of adjudicating our wrongs in the honor and wisdom of that mighty system,

digniiied with age, consecrated by the mem-

ory ol its loundeis, and co\ered all

with the glory of its splendid achievmerits,

orable men, and for this reason we feel like vindicating them, when we hear the charges

correct and

work good to the nntion, but tlu-y are not forms. Some of the "better grades" of!

jjat },e defendants were

innocent. The ease was warmly contested

by the attorneys of both sides, and all the

power there is in rhetoric and language,

Messrs. Wallace and Wilson made the most

adroit and efficient use of. We understand

that Mr. Wilson, consul for the state, has carried the whole matter into the court of

Common Plea?.

TIIE BOOK OF ALL BOOKS. HOT CORN LIFE SCENES IN NEW YORK, By

Solon Robinson.

,, The above is the title of a very neat work have some no'ilied

we iave us

received from the pub

lishers, Messrs. Dewitt & Davenport of New York, with the request to give it an

editorial noticfe which we do with pleasure.

This infamous work has been sent to the press generally throughout the State. It

has also been extolled to the very skies by the N. Y. Tribune, Ministers of the Gos

pel, Temperance lecturers and others.—

We feel it our duty says the Times to caution the unsuspecting against it, as its in

fluence can be nothing but demoralizing in

its tendencies. In justice, however, to many who have recommended it, we will say

that they have based their opinions upon short extracts from it, that have been made

public through the columns of such news

papers as the Tribune. Of the extracts referred to, the "Two-penny Marriage" and

"Little Katy" (to which there arc but few

objections) have had the greatest publicity given to them.

Now, what is the j^'o/essed design of this work? To inculcate tempcrunce and moral

ity—worthy objects, but wickedly prostitu

ted! And what is the plan adopted?— Reader, it is this: you are, if you read the

work, taken into Cede Jones's doo-o-erv, in OO

the city of New York, where the most filthy and revolting bachanalian orgies are

nightly held thence to a bawdy-house of the lowest grade—for there are grades in

them—where a careful and minute descrip

tion is given of the scenes and transactions nightly witnessed at such places, that are

loo disgusting to be named, and at which

the sense of propriety of every virtuous

man and woman must revolt. The professed object of this is to teach virtue by

contrasting vice with it. This may do for the Deistical author of the work but it is

not in accordance with our views. We

have always believed that virtuous precepts should be taught by example. Where is

the father or mother who would teach their daughters virtue by introducing them into

bawdy-houses, that they might become disgusted with the pursuits of a strumpet?

But then again, the scenes arc changed.

Vice is exhibited in its most attractive

bawdy-houses are laid open to the reader's

•view. That of Mrs. Laylor—where the

preacher and the church-member are entrapped—situated in II street, is

Another amendment, which has becn adopted, respects the rights of the Indians within the limits of the Territory or Territories. To several of ihese tribes we have, by solemn treaties, guaranteed perpetual possession of the districts which they respectively occupy. These treaties must be sacredly kept. Thc bill, as reported by Mr. Douglas, was intended to guard them, but the amendment above alluded to, does it more effectually. It was offered by Mr. Sebastian, of Arkansas, and agreed to, as follows: Strike out the 19th, 20th, and 40th sections relating to the Indians of the

We have but little additional war news by this arrival. The conduct of the Czar is still evasive.
