We take pleasure in informing our readers that a new firm has been organized in

our town. It consists of the following gen-

men: J. P. Ca.m i:eu., Wili.:am S. Galkv.

and David HAUTi:r:. They intend opening' an extensive hardware and dry good cs-j

tablis hment in the new brick block, now

being completed, on Green street. These!

gentlemen are known to the .community r,s men of enterprise and sterling worth.—

The consolidation of their capital and encrgy, will rank them among the first com

mercial houses of the Wabash Valley. The row firm have our best wish.es for their fu

ture success.

Professors CAMpi r.i,:, and, IIaplf.y,

have laid upon our table, "American Insti

tutions and their lnflucr.ee, by Alex. De

Tocquevillc, with noies by the Hon. John

Spencer." Also the ''Teacher and the Pa

rent, a treatise upon common school education."

M. De Tocquevillc is a distinguished French philosopher. The work is one of

the most valuable treaties on American politics that lias ever been issued, and f.hould

be in every library in the land. The views of a liberal-minded and enlightened Euro

pean stater-man upon the workings of our

country's social and political establishments,

hardly deem it necessarv to no

tice the lying, cowardly insinuations thrown

out in the last Loccviotlvc. If the puppv

that penned the squib, or any of his. associates have any doubt resting upon their!

minds as regards personal courage thev

are free to pilch in.

G^fTho Indianapolis landlords a few

the Fusion party, who have been laying around Indianapolis for the last four weeks,

waiting for the crumbs of office that perchance miiiht fall from the political banquet

table, over which the Iv. N.'s have com-j pletecontrol. The poor devils, now that'

they arc turned out of doors, arc begging!

NOT ACCKPTTID I'NCON DITIONALLY. The Paris correspondence of the London Times says:

"I am Informed that the English and Frcnch ambassadors at Vienna have written to their governments for the necessarv authorization to enter into negotiations with Prince Gortschakoff". It appears that the Piince has nut accepted without reserve the guarantee with the interpretation of the allies, which were communicated to him confidentially. The prince has, am assured, demanded certain changes, which at first appeared to M. de Bind no to possesss any importance, but so far they are changes, .and therefore the acceptance is not unreserved. Incase of the negotiations failing, and that nothing is done before the

The official Austrian correspondence con

firms the telegraphic despatches, and announces that if the French ar.d English

Cabinets approve of what has occured, ne

gotiations for the conclusion of a solid peace will soon commence.

Another despatch says that the representatives of the futtr powers, namelv,

politician, is very

blind, to say the least of it, if, with the lessons thus given him by history, he hangs

his fortune upon the success of an organization which has but a solitary principle, or

is confined to but a section of the country.

The people of Indiana are national in

sentiment, and probably as intelligent as any in the Union their nationality will smother any mere sectional party, while

their intelligence enables them to appreci

ate, and impels them to take sides upon, every question pertinent to tbo government

they control. The new party partakes of

both these weaknesses. It is highly sec

tional, and lives but in the one idea there

But is it declining? Take the following O O facts, and be your own judges.

1. The Free Soil wintj of the league O headed by George W. Julian are in open

hostility with their brethren. They got not a crumb in the way of office from the

present legislature. Had Julian been nom

inated U. S. Senator, they would have been

satisfied, but he has no earthly chance.— Had the State Journal, lately passed info

abolition hands, received the nomination for State Printer, they would still have been

content but that nomination has been giv

Chanticleer. This support, therefore, will

be withdrawn from the Fusion, and with

out it there would have been no triumph

for the anti-Nebraskaites in the last election. i-

2. The Whig portion of the party is al

so dissatisfied, though not quite a3 open in

their discontent. They contend that, as

they contributed the most of the Fusion votes—more than the Free Soilers or Dem

ocrats either—they should have the lion's

share of the offices. Sadly for them, however, the State Printing and State Agency

have been given to the bolting Loco Focos.

Their heads are very sore.

3. Some of the leading presses of their party are now waging most wicked war upon the whole concern. Such are the New

Albany 'Tribune, and the Lafayette Courier. Theso have their influence. Loath as we are to acknowledge that as unprincipled a

creature as W. R. Ellis has power of any

kind, or over anybody outside the walls of

the penitentiary, still we must admit that he did more to forward the elcctiou of Dan.

Mace in this District than any editor in its imits. We propose to give a few extracts

from his paper, as we will, also, from Mil

ton Gregg, of the Tribune. We will premise, however, by calling at

tention to the fact, that both of them are defeated candidates for the State Printing.

They helped set the new King upon the throne, with the expectation that he in turn

would feed them liberally from the pnb'ic

crib.*' But the mastir has disappointed

them. He permitted them to scent the porridge from afar, but when they approached

to put their noses in the kettle, he kicked

the dogs away.

But we proceed to quote. First, from

the Lafayette Courier, of the 25th inst: "The nomination of George Chapman by the Republican members^' the Legislature, on Thursday of last week, to the office of £ta!e Pi inter, evinces that there is a "wheel within awheel"—in oilier words, some deep laid scheme to accomplish some sinister motive which does not appear at the first glance. Without wishing to appear factious or facetious, we may be permitted lo express some reasons that with propriety might have, ar.d wo think should have had, some weight in determining the Republican members in their choice of the cundidatcs not only for

Printer but A^ent of State. What

The people at the last election appeared to be anxious for a change in Legislative sentiment, and they, by their efforts, changed the political complexion of that body from the last session. Now I earheslly call on them to look to this Legislature, and watch them close, so they may bo able to determine at the end of Ihe session whether they are profited by the changc or not. If you are, forgodsake continue, if you aro not, then send men up here who have the love of country at heart, have interests iu common with you, and feel that they are the servants of tho people, and will enact such laws as will promote your best interest as one people.

There is a bill before the Sena'.e which provides for tho making of our depreciated currency receivable for taxe3. It will coma .. up to-morrow on its third reading, and I think it will pass tho Senate without much trouble, but I do not think it will pass the House. I shall vote for it because 1 believe it is right, and that the people demand it.

The school law will undergo a complete revision. It is one of tho most difficult subjects to legislate on that is before us.— There is the civil and congressional township fund, which the Supreme Court haa decided to be two distinct fundi, and how to manage these funds is yet to bo determined.

The chairman of the temperance committee tuld me that they would soon be ready to report the bill embracingprohibiiion, disfranchisement, the right of search, seizure, confiscation and destruction strong enough I think to please the most ultra.

present incumbent, Mr. Talbot, is

sittiug iu his office with all his natural pomposity, discussing the best treatment for sore-throat, bronchitis, and tho uncertainty of tho stethoscope.

The election of United Slates. Senator is made the special order of the 22d day of February next. We say to the Fusion party, make your nomination.

So far as I have been able to ascertain, it appears that Orth of Lafayette, is the most prominent man for that office, and why it is, I cannot tell, unless he is a degree or two further advanced in Kno Nothingism than someothers we could mention.

My position is this, if we can elect a man who is national in his polities, has a preference for his country, ami loves the Union better than sectional strife, and will oppose the establishing of sectional lines, which may have a tendency to create hostile feelings between the States, I will vote logo into the election if not, I shall vote to stave it off, and let the people say at the next election whether we done right or not. If this course does not meet the approbation of my friends, let them say so, and I will act otherwise or resign but I would 3ay to them, if you hold a meeting to instruct mo on this subject, hold it at tho Court House, and not do as the friends of Mr. Anthony did, hold it at some old School House formly occupied for Know Nothing meetings.
