A SPI.ENDID STOCK OF HARDWARE. Messrs. Grimes & Burbridge, have now in store one of the finest stocks of American, English and German Hardware wc have ever seen in any western market.— The stock has been selected with the grcatost'care and comprises every article which the farmer or mechanic may need. Those of our numerous patrons throughout the county who design making any parchases in this line of trade would do well to call at this establishment and examine the stock for themselves, as wc are certain that they will not only be supplied with what they call for, but their bills will be duplicated at the very lowest figures. See their advertisement in another column.

©SF*Dr. Prathcr has bought out the establishment of Lee, Gilkcy & Co., and is now rccciving a very heavy stock of staple and fancy dry goods. The Dr. intends that his establishment shall be the emporium of trade for Montgomery county. His stock embraces everything lccpt- in a first class, establishment, and the farmer and mechanic will find it one of the very best houses to open accounts for the new year. Success to the Dr. for he is decidedly a clever fellow. See advertisement.

GROCERIES.

About the best stock of groceries in the town of Crawfordsville can be found at the establishment of McKcy Wilson's, on Main street immediately east of the Court House. If you want anything in the fancy line of groceries Koy's is the very place to go to.

The new firm is Eltzroth, Harding & Co., who expect to continue in the same room, with a fine stock of spring and summer goods which they are now roceiving, and will sell5 at low pr'ce.s. Call on them and examine their stock. Sec advertisement in another column.

OPINIONS IN TIIE DREl) SCOTT CASE. The National Intolligcncer, (Washington) speaking of the opinions of the Judges in Dred Scott's case, says: "Wc purpose, as soon as we have it in our power, to spread before our readers all of these important opinions, beginning with that of the court, delivered by Chief Justice Taney.— Hut when wc shall be able to obtaiu authentic copies of them we cannot say, and it must be rccollectod that when obtained these opinions "are of such length they would fill an octavo volume, and their insertion at large will occupy many numbers of our paper. But we shall do our best mid at the earliest day. Wc might indeed give the abstracts of some of these opinions, which arc circulating in the newspapers, but that would be gratifying the jntblk: curiosity at the expense of propriety and of justice to the Court itself."

THE SPUING EXHIBITIONS. The tenth annual exhibition's of the Calliopean Society -and Lyceum took place in Tuesday and Wednesday night.

The Calliopean Exhibition was a failureThe first speaker did'nt have lu.s oration committed to memory, neither did the second the third recited a sad "poem" in rhyme, and the fourth got off a biographical eulogy—stereotyped—on Howard, the Philanthropist. The speeches were all bad enough, in all conscience, but the poem was actually horrid. We suspect "the poet"—as the speaker styled himself—got in the habit of writing moon-struck rhymes when he was a boy, but, with other foolish habits, he should have long since cast it aside.

The music on Tuesday night is universally admitted to have been fine. Considering the singers, it could not possibly have been otherwise/

The exhibition of the Lyceum was good. Mr. G. West Richardson, of Madison, bore off the palm with a classical, nervous, eloquent, oration on "The Political Arena." Mr. It. is one of the most original and independent thinkers we ever knew, his style is equal to his thoughts, and his delivery unexceptionable. "Arc Free Institutions most favorable to Literature was a question very well discussed by J. Mackey, and W. W. Hill.— The discussion was more illustrative than argumentative, and on this account, perhaps, Mr. II. had the "better of the argu ment." It is only just to add, that Mr. M. suocecded much better in securing the sympathy of the audience. "Criticism—True and False," was an oration by Mr. C. 11. Haskell, of this place. The subject is much better suited for an essay, than an oration, and for this reason, doubtless, Mr. II's correot thoughts did not win the attention of the audience. He has a weak voice, too, and a very unpleasant affectation in his pronunciation. For in stance, he pronounces critic with about "three-double" trill on the r, and art he calls a-u-t, or something like that. Mr. II., we dare say, has been educated into this affectation, and we trust he will edu. eatc himself out of it, as soon as possible. His matter is too good to be spoiled by his manner.

The members of the Lyceum may justly boast of their victory, this year, but they should not forget that the tables were the other way last spring, and may be so next. We have never known the Calliopeans to come out "second best" but twice. We confess to a warm regard for the godde The music ou Wednesday night, was also excellent.

By the by, let me say just a word about the examination at the Female Seminary. The exercises were largely attended, but whether the good looks of two or three of the teachers, and of two or three dozen of the pupils had any magnetic attraction, deponent saith not. Wc take great pleasure in saying, however, that the scholarship exhibited by this examination was of a very superior order. We arc sure, that, while great praise is due to all the teachers connected with the institution, the principal is entitled to the unqualified approval of all for the unusually successful manner in which he has discharged his duties. Every body so says to the

Crawfordsville, April, 2, 1857.

For the Review.

Mu. BOWEN:—You arc wrong in imputing to "L. Dunham Ingcrsoll" the article in the Journal pronouncing "Chief Justice Taney's decision" in the Dred Scott case as "wrong and infamous fcc."

I d»d not write the article, nor have I even read the decision of the Supreme Court in the case alluded to, except in tclcgraphic abstract. Besides, I am merely a "private individual," have not the least connexion with the Journal, do not desire to "spread myself on public affairs, and protest against your dragging my name into your paper without the least- cause or provocation.

THE COACHMAN AND HIS UftlDE. The brown stone fronts in New York are greatly agitated in consequence of Miss Boker's marriage to her father's coachman. A correspondent of the Evening Post, who signs "M." to his letters, is indignant at the remarks of the press on the subject of the marriage. He says that he was "surprised aud pained" to read the following in the Post: "Iu the evening Mr. and 31 rs. Dean had an interview, and talked over their little plans of life. They propose, it is said, to leave the city and settle down—he to a carpenter she to give music lessons it' necessary. To-day she leaves her father's roof, and the union of two faithful hearts is consummated. lie comments thus:

The example in this paragraph is pernicious in the highest degree. How any young girl educated as Miss Bokcr was, could associate with servants, not to speak of marrying among them, is more than I can imagine. Certainly, sir, you have no feelings, when you speak in such a manner of the most melanchoh- events.

Last evening's express says: Mr. and Mrs. Dean (or rather Deehan, for that is the proper name,) are now boarding in Tenth St., where they hired two rooms on Tuesday. The husband and wife have been living together since that time, and no person has attempted to interfere with them. The precise location of their boarding house is kept secret, in order that they should not be annoyed by curious visitors, and will be so kept until their departure for Chicago, which,will be.in a day or two.

The happy couple were stopping at the Bates House, Indianapolis, on Monday last, en route for Louisville, their adopted home.

DEFINING HIS POSITION OH THETEXPERANCE QUESTION.^!' Dear Spirit: Some three or foiur years' since I was guilty of an indiscretion, to call it by no'harshcr name, in running for the Legislature in the county of Persimmon, State of Hoosierdom. The party by which I was nominated had a clear majority of three hundred in the county, so that my election was a fixed fact?—At least I thought so until about three weeks before the election. About that time the first wave of the Maine law excitement reached the State, and ugly questions began to be put to me by the voters of both parties.

To take a position on either side was dangerous, and dodging was the only safe policy. Fortunately I had never belonged to a temperance society—that satisfied most of the anties. On the other hand, I drank nothing stronger than coffee, and the temperance men took it for granted that I was one of them.

Things went off pretty smoothly in the canvass and I and my opponent were to make our last speeches in one of the back townships on the Saturday preceding the election.

It was a hard place for a temperance man, and I was most thoroughly cross-ex-amined, during my speech, as to my antecedents in connection -pfith temperance societies, and especially whether I had ever belonged to the Sons of Temperance this order being tho peculiar abomination in tho neighborhood. My answer seemed to satisfy the sovereigns, and I wa3 congratulating myself that the fast ordeal was passed.

I was slightly mistaken. Some malicious political adversary had whispered it about the crowd that I could not bear the taste or smell of whisky. This was a serious and damaging charge, and my friends, without consulting me, determined that a convincing proof of its falsehood should be given before I left the ground. Tom W—, about as hard a case as the neighborhood afforded, was selected as a committee of one to carry out their resolution.

Just as I had mounted my horse to leave Tom approached me with a brimming tumbler of new whisky in his hand, and asked me to "jine the boys in a horn."

I glanced at the crowd, and saw that at least fifty votes were hanging in the scale. It was no time to deliberate and a couple of swallows of as afe villainous whisky as ever came from the still, found their way down my throat.

A grunt of approval from the crowd told their satisfaction but I was determined to have my revenge for the martyrdom 1 had suffered. Leaning over toward Tom in a confidential sort of a way, I said "Tom, I carry better liquor than that." "The devil!" said Tom, "do you carry a bottle?" "Certainly I do. But you must keep dark, and not lot the fellows in town know it."

This was a degree of soundness on the temperance question my friends had not dared to hope for in me. It was like marrying a woman for beauty, and finding she had a fortune besides.

By the time the crowd had gathered around us I extracted from my saddle-bags a bottle of ginger, and handed it to Tom, with an invitation to "try it."

Tom did "try it." "Lord gcmeutly!" gasped he, as the burning compound took possession of his mouth and throat, "what is that? Water! water! water!"

I told him it was tenth-proof brandy, and the crowd unanimously sworct hat any man who carried liquor that would make Tom W cry for water, was sound enough for them on the Temperance question.

I distanced my competitor at that precinct tho succeeding Monday.—Porter!s Spirit.

INTERESTING FROM JAPAN. The Monitcur de la Flctte, a Paris paper, has the following interesting intelligence from Japan:—

Our last accounts from the China seas cntion a highly interesting fact. The Emperor of Japan, anxious to adjust various questions connected with the recent treaties he had concluded with several governments of Europe and America, held, on the 23d of June, at Jeddo, the capital of the Empire, a solemn assembly, of the principal lords and most influential personages of his court. It was decreed at the meeting that two ports of the Empire, tho§e of Nangaski and Ilakodadi, should be open to the vessels of all nations.— There they might repair, take in provisions, establish depots of coal &c. The other ports of the Empire, moreover, are to be accessible to vessels in distress, which may take refuge in them, but which will have to put. to the moment the danger is over.

No foreigner is to be allowed to penetrate into the interior of tho country without a special permission from the Chief of the State. No decision has been come to with regard to the commercial question. The right of trading with Japan is still exclusively maintained iu favor of the Dutch and Chinese, who have long possessed it on very onerous terms, having but one market open to them, that of Nangasaki. The new policy adopted by the government of Japan, will be the productive of incalculable results. Hitherto no foreign vessel could enter the porta of the country to refit or take in provisions. The last decision of the Court of Jeddo aceordingly constitutes a great progress. Should China, Cochin China, the Empire of Siam, and all the other neighboring states follow the example of Japan, the intercourse between the extreme East and the rest of the world would be completely changed.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF DR. KANE.—Rev. Mr. Chapin delivering a lecture lately in Boston, took occasion to speak of the death of Dr. Kane, in connection with an allusion to the grave of the discoverer of America. "That island" said he, "from which have just been wafted the remains of another discoverer, who, in the name of science and philanthropy, carried into the realm of Arctic mystery a sagacity, a nobleness, a religious enthusiasm equal to his own. Fittest place for thy transit, O! bright and beautiful soul, was that death bed close by the ashes of Columbus."

MAYER *i UI.LMAN.

These gentlemen have opened a large clothing and furnishing establishment in the old stand formerly occupied by David Wertheim. Their stock of clothing is the finest ever brought to Crawfordsville. We recommend our frienda to give them a call, as wc are confident they will get the best of articles and the best of bargains.

THE FDLFItUIEin1 OF PROPHECY* The following is the outline of an interesting sermon on the "Fulfillment of Prophecy," preached at Washington City, by Bev. F. E. Pitts, of Nashville, Tennessee. It was preached in the Capitol, and the sketch below is taken from the National Intelligencer.

His introduction to the investigation indicated with what reverence and discretion any attempted elucidation of the meaning of prophecy should be conducted that the prophecies touching the nations, down to the fall of Jerusalem, were but a literal history of Syria, Edom, Moab, Egypt, and Judea but from the destruction of the Jewish capital down to a certain period called "the time of the end" a veil was on the prophets, and no interpretation of the sublime visions during that interdicted age could possibly be correct for God had repeated the announcements to Daniel, the prophet, that "the words were closed up, and the vision was sealed till the time of the end." That this was not the end of the world was evident, for in the time of the end "many should run to and fro and knowledge be increased that then "the wise should understand, but the wicked should not understand." Not only was the vision itself sealed, but the time or end of these wonders, and especially the thatre of these wonders or the land of their reali zation, should be unknown till God was prepared for their accomplishment. That "the time of the end," an age of great intellectual energy, adventure, and locomotion, was the age in which a great nationality would arise that the United States arose at the end of 1290 symbolic days from the destruction of Jerusalem that Daniel's 70 weeks being equal to 602 years and 514 days of solar time, according to the eclipscs of the sun, gave an infalliable rule to dc termine symbolic time: so that if 70 Symbolic weeks equalled 002 years and 214 days, I'iDO symbolic days reached from the burning of the temple, on the 189th day of the year 68, A. D., to the 4th day of July, 1776 and that marking the starting point at the occasion of the daily sacrifice, which happened, according to astronomy, at sunrise, three minutes past 5 o'clock, A. M., ou the day the temple was burnt, the 1290 dajrs run out at a quarter to o'clock, P. M., on the 4th day of July, 1776 and from the best sources of information the Declaration of Independance was proclaimed at that hour on the glorious fourth.— That the United States was the fifth Government represented as the stone cut out of the mountain without hands. The image of Ncbuchadnezer represented the successive Kingdoms of Assyria, Medo, Persia, Macedonia and Rome that the iron and clay in the feet and toes of the image symbolized the union of church and state under Constantine, June 19, 825 A. D., that the antagonism of the stone to the image smiting it on the feet symbolized the genius of our great nation in its opposition to the union of church and state: that while the stone kingdom or government were not Christianity, the mountain out of which the stone

Avas

cut teas Christianity. That the

winged woman of the wilderness was an emblem of Christianity, and her man-child, to whom was given "a rod to rule," was an emblem of our Government, arising from a pure religion that this man-child, being "caught up to heaven in the clouds," showed the providential protection of our infant Republic.

That our nation, answering the moral portrait of the morality which was to come, was Israel restored. That God would constitute such a nationality out of the people who would acknowledge his Son Jesus Christ, and not of the Jews, who from the beginning have denounced Christ. Thatperfect concidcnce being perfect fulfillment, our nation and no other on earth answered the picture. That the nationality to arise was to be gathered out of the nations.— That they were to go Westward. That the country they were to inhabit was a land between the eastern and the great western seas. That the land was one "that had always had been waste." That it was to be located in thirteen distinct States. That these States should be bounded on the east by the eastern sea, and on the

Avcst

by the

great western sea. That the people gathered out of the nations should "build and dwell safely in unwalled villages and citics, having neither gates nor bars," "a land of broad rivers and streams a Republic where the people "should appoint to themselves one head," and their rulers aiTd governors "should be from among themselves." That the United States was "the isles that should wait" for God, and that the ships of Tarsliish or Old Spain should be first to open emigration. That our country was "the land shadowing with wings" which was beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, which from Judca beyond the Nile was the United States, and no other country. That our

great country was divinely protected in its

beginning, and, answering the prediction.-,

precisely of the^nationality that was tocomc „It

is the "nation born to God in a day born

on Independence day. States arose in the providence of God as the model political Government and that its great mission was the overthrow of of monarch}', and the utter destruction of political and ecclesiastical depotism. His subject in the afternoon related more especially to "the last great battle between civil and religious liberty on the one hand, and political and ecclesiastical despotism on the other, termed in Scripturc the "Battle of Gog and Magog:" the battle ot "Armageddon," and the "battle of the great day of God Almighty." That the United States would be invaded by monarchy. That Russia would be the leading power, and England and all the. autocracy ot the world be allied with Russia against the United States, cxccpt France that France would be with us in the end as she was in the beginning. That an armament such as the world never saw, composed of millions, would invade our country. That the battle field was the valley of the Mississippi, (sec Ezekiel 3S and 39) That Heaven would be upon our side. But in this last dreadful fray there would be trouble such as never was. That the United States, being the exponent and representative of Republicanism, extending its borders from sea to sea and from the lakes to the gulf, arose as the formidable defiance of Autocracy and that Russia, embracing an area cf one-seventh of earth's terra firma, and arising in dreadful grandeur, must in selfdefence attempt the extinction of popular freedom and that these two formidable powers, lowering and culminating to the heavens like dreadful clouds surcharged with the elements of ruin, would shock the the world with their collision and drench the earth with blood. That our great country would never be divided. That our Union, like a noble ship though her live

I

oak timbers wtrald bend and quiver in the tempest, would ride the storm in Safety.— That monarchy would be overthrown forever, and republicanism everywhere prevail, and nations learn war no more. Then sets in that millennial day, when since, commerce, manufactures, and the arts would spread, the religion of the Son of God have away "righteousness and peace among the people walk, Messiah reign, and earth keep jubilee a thousand years."

But an imperfect sketch of these lectures is here presented. They are certainly creating a profound sensatioti. True or false, the clearness and conclusiveness of the arguments as presented by the intelligent speaker, we think would be difficult to answer. Surely the theme is startling and sublime. The appropriate allusion of the speaker to the portraits of Washington and Lafayette, that hung on the walls in the Capitol, in his allusion to France being with America in tho final strugle. was deeply afiecting.

ADVENT OF SPRING.—How beautiful the inspired poet marks the approach of spring: "For lo, the winter is past, and the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth the time of the singing of the birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in the land. The fig tree putteth on her green figs, and the vine, with the tender grapes, give a good smell. Arise, unlove, my fair one, and come away."

The following oath is said to have

been administered in the Iowa Legislature to a little boy ten years of age, chosen to fold up documents: "You do solemnly swear to support the constitution of the United States and of this State, and to fold papers to the best of your ability, so help you God."

MORE SNOBBERY IN NEW YORK—THE CASE OF MR., AND MRS. JOHN DEAN*.—Not long since the daugter of a liquor dealer fell in love with her father's coachman, whose name was John Dean, and privately married him. Now it so happened, that the liquor dealer, whoso name is Bolcer, was wealth}', and his family circulated in the atmosphere of upcrtendom. The family and their codfish circle were awfully shocked at the idea of the young lady's marrying a coachman, and recourse was had to the strong arm of the law to break up the match, or rather, to separate man and wife. The case came before the Supreme Court, and after a patient heariug Judge Davis decided that Mr. and Mrs. John Dean were lawfully man and wife, so the lucky coachman bore off his blooming bride in triumph.

THE SYLVAM.V TRAGEDY—WARD CONVICTED. The Toledo papers have been filled for some time past with the reports of the trial of RETURN J. M. WARD, for the murder of his wife at Sylvania. On Thursday the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The wretched prisoner received the announcement with stoical indifference.

The Blade

"The case is one of the most extraordinary on record. The evidence going to show the identity of the remains as those belonging to the body of Mrs. WARD, is exceedingly slight and yet, so strong arc the circumstances which point to the guilt of the prisoner, and so overwhelming the train of evidence against him, that the jury have had no difficulty in coming to a positive conclusion in regard to the matter, and will be fully sustained by the verdict of popular opinion. So far as we are informed, there is not a doubt of the righteousness of the judgment which has been rendered.

The murder is one of the most brutal, horrid and disgusting, in all the annals of crime. A husband not only murders his wife, after cold-blooded premeditation, but he sits up nights, with his door locked, cuts her into small pieces, and burns up her remains iu the stove. This process occupied several days, in which time lie drew largely on the shops around for shavings, and the unsavory scent went forth from the chimney, and filled the nostrils of those who happened to be in that vicinity.— WARD occupied himself with this disgusting and appalling work, till he thought lie: had obliterated all traces of his guilt, and then defied detection. But -'murder will out." It is amazing what an array of facts, unimportant in themselves, have be#n brought to bear on the case, and what an irresistible conviction of guilt they carry to the mind. WARD has not yet had his sentence, but he will be hung by the neck till he is dead, dead! We hear it said that his will be the first case of capital execution in this countv.

other day I went to see a little Frenchman just arrived, who had been taking English lessons, as he informed me, on the voyage, from a fellow passenger. He complained much of the difficulty of our grammer, especially the irregular verbs. 'For instance,' says he, 'Ze verb to go. Did one ever see one such verb And with the utmost gravity he read from a sheet of paper

I go, Thou departest, He clears out, Wc cut stick, Ye or you make tracks, They absquatulate. 'Mon Dieu! Mon Dieu! What disregular verbs you have in your language!'"

EXTENSION OF SLAVERX. When tho Constitution was formed every State tolerated slavery, and the "encroachments of the Slave Power" have increased the number from thirteen to fifteen while the encroachments of the Free Power have increased the number of Free States from naught to seventeen. This shows a horrible state of things—an alarming proclivity to make Slavery National and Freedom Sectional. "Ring the bell!" "Turn the grindstone." "Fire the alarm guns!" —Bridgport fanner.

A BEAUTIFUL SIGNIFICATION.—"Alabama" signifies in the Indian language "Here we rest." A story is told of a tribe of Indians who fled from a relentless foe in the trackless forest in the south-west.— Weary and travel worn, they reached a noble river which flowed through a beautiful country. The chief of the band stuck his tent polo in the- ground and exclaimed:— "Alabama! Alabama!" ("Here we shall rest! Here we'shall rest")

GOVERNORSHIP OF RAIIIAi. The Pittsburgh tost, fpealdng of the rumor that the Governorship of Kansas has been tendered to Hotl. Robert J. Walker, says:—•

It wotild be a first i-ate appoinment, if he will accept of it. He is both a northern and southern man—a native of Pennsylvania—long a resident of Mississippi— a national man—-a man of great ability—a prudent man—a man of pcace in whom the whole country wotild have confidence.— The people of Kansas would, no doubt, be tfell pleased to have him appointed.

A Washington correspondent of the Cleveland Plaindeler, writing under date of March 24th, on the same subject, says

I have had an interview with Gov. Geary. He says Kansas can be governed with proper aid from the Executive. There is a class of men, mostly Missouriaiis,. who are. determined to rule the Territory without regard to to the legitimate government.— He says if the laws can be enforced so as to give all ail equal chance at the polls, and to the lands for settlement, as contemplated by the Nebraska Bill, the troubles will be at an end. The rush of Northern emigration to the Territory is tremendous. He met in four days coming down the Missouri, five thousand emigrants, but says they will have to buy claims at exorbitant prices^ as all the lands worth having are pre-empted, many, in violation of law, holding half a dozen claims, which they hold by dint of blunderbusses and bowie knives.

The general Railroad Agent at Boston has already sold over 20,000 through tickets for Kansas, but since Geary's resignation, it is supposed many will wend their way to Iowa and Nebraska, where peace reigns and just as good lands can be found.

The Cabinet yesterday resolved to send a Southern man to Kansas and a Northern man to Nebraska.

The reason is this—A Northern man in Kansas is surrounded with suspicions to start with by the dominant party there.— To gain their confidence, lie has to say and do things which destroys the confidence of the-other party, and between the two lie fails. This has been the history of three Northern Governor within two years.—

The policy is to be reversed. There is not a man in the Cabinet who desires Kansas to bo a Slave State. They think it would be ruinous to the Democratic party North, without which party the South are at the mercy of the abolitionists.

Robert J. Walker has been tendered the Governorship of Kansas. If he accepts there will be no failure in his administration of its affairs, according to the letter of the Nebraska Bill. The Ruffians dare not question his motives, or his integrity, and they cannot combine against him. tIll I

vigorously, and soon brought up one individual with the report that he had "no provisions on hand," The meeting immediately proceeded to consider the case. Tho chairman of the committee, C. C. Galvin, Esq., presented the facts of the case in a brief but able address, and the culprit was called npon for his defence. Slowly arising to his feet, ramming one hand down into his breeches pockets, running the other through his hair, and fixing his indignant gaze, ou the President, tin unfortunate victim proceeded to throw himself upon his constitutional rights as follows: "Well, gentlemen, I've beam of a man's house being entered with a warrant to search for stolen goods but may 1 lie. (•—d d—n if I ever beam of they're going into a feller's meat-hou.*-c to see whether he had anything to %at! Gentlemen, it can't, be done constitutionally—by G—d it can't!"

The meeting promptly overruled the defence, and he was ordered to provide something for himself and family to eat forthwith.—Boone Count// Pioneer.

May, who took La Vega's guns and made him prisoner at the battle of Palo Alto and to complete the curious-union, Col. Magruder, to whom May handed La Vega over for safe-keeping, is at the same hotel. It must be pleasent as well as suggestive to see these Warriors assembled at thc same dinner table, hobnobbing in a friendly way and popping Champagne corks instead of nine pounders.—Richmond Dispatch

How. JESSE D. BRIGHT, OP INDIJLKI.-— We copy the following paragraph from tho Indianapolis Sentinel, in order to correct an erroneous impression that seems to pre vail in regard to Indiana and the Cabinets It seems that a post in the Cabinet was not only tendcrcdtobut-urged uponMr. Bright, and was only declined because he considr^ ered duty to the Democracy of his State, who had recently placed him. in another responsible position, demanded it. Mr. Bright is, in our estimation, the model of a bold, honest, and fearless politician. He

has had, like all men of his stamp, bitter and relentless enemies, but in every en-f counter he has signally triumphed over all of them, and now stands a full head and shoulders above any politician in all Hoos-J. ierdom. He always carries the massesv with him, and no man except of the-most' decided mark and ability, could have sus-1 taincd himself so successfully as Mr. Bright has done, against the machinations of his enemies. Would that wc had some man like him in the city and district.

Wc have it from undoubted sources that Mr. Buchanan not only tendered a Cabinet appointment to Mr. Bright, but urged hia. acceptance of it, and this, too, notwith-, standing there was a certain opposition to' the appointment out of as well as in tho State. But Mr. Bright positively dcclined, as he did not think it was right to aban don his position in regard to the Senatorial, election while undecided, and for the fur-' tlicr reason that he could be of more service to his party and friends in the Senate* than in the Cabinet. This agrees, too, with .ill of Mr. Bright's previous declarations, that he preferred a seat in the Senate to, any Cabinet appointment.

We say this much only to corrcct a misrepresentation that has gone abroad, that Mr. Bright and Indiana were not offered a seat in Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet.

The committee went to work lie the adrcss of Governor Geary, which is

In speaking on thc subject to a friend the other day, he remarked he was willing to do the same by his other daughters on one condition that they married respectable, upright ami industrious young men.

Here is a proof that there are some sensible fathers left, though they happen to be wealthy men.
