If w& did not! believe tlt6 above to be a jtfjue principle of the Democratic party, we would not belong to it another hour. With •the belief strong in our heart, however, we Vclcome the resolutions, published in a'rijothercolumn, and adopted by the sterling iDqmocrncy of Marion county in their re,centconvehtion. They assert, in our opin1(j'n, Nothing but Democratic faith, and we jdesirc it unqualifiedly understood that we ~*ad the. Democracy of .Montgomery county Ictand uponthat platform,, and arc commit4ed to it with whole hand and heart,

We .do not allude to theni, however, for [the purpose of entering into a detailed 'analysis of the principles they assert.— IT hat tho Democracy of any county in Indiana should thus splcmnly condemn the ^criminal conduct of the last Republican •^Senate iu its failure to pass essential laws. —should condejnn the tcndcncy to divert the Legislature from its legitimate objccts, to the advancement of personal interests, .ambitious politicians, and mcnicd corporations,—should condemn the "secret, insidious and malignant" system of tactics .adopted by the Republican party,—should 'condemn the corrupting influences exerted .by the banking institutions, of this State, .aud especially the wholesale attempts at 'fraud, if not actual frauds, by which the ^present Bank of the State of Indiana was "ushered into existence,—should condemn jiany and all attempts, (and the authors of rsuch attempts,) to engraft a system of pamper banking upon the .Democratic creed, —should condemn the proposition of the owners of the Wabash and Eric Canal to jjfoist that institution back upon the State, ifand thereby saddle upon us an additional debt of seven millions,—we say that the ^adoption of such ..resolutions by tho Dcmocracy of any county in the State would ,ioot surprise us, at the same time we acknowledge a sinccro gratification at seeing *"tiem at this time so clearly aunounced by .jjjthe Democracy of the capitol county. », Our purpose, was to speak plainly upon fthc'PERSONAL ISSUE now rapidly and unhappily assuming vitality among the

^'Demoeriit,-^^ an ^8c3Beker, who b^fe his pplitiea^rmc^pa ^we superior to mcD. who regards^the existence of his party ss Something essential to his country's prosperity, and love's it singly for that country's good, will answer at oti^—MJle the faffi by stifling the 'men!1

If there "were- not' othW. Detriocrats of equal, if not higher .aiility, in the State than either of them, if they alone had all the talent, all the zeal, and all the power for viet6ry'orfcr the cncrnieis of the Union, 'Aejoteses of the party might hare an'excuse io^ longer forbearance

the printer.'

.and endurance

buteveatben we cfErm thoy would have no exense for letting these two men becomc their dictators,'exercising oh them a tyranny, too disgraceful for publication.— When two leaders fatten on their own quarrels, make their personal bickerings a useans flf keeping each other in place, at* rogate to themselves the absolute control .of a half,a,million voters, fancy that tliey hold the free franchises of their, .political brethren in their pockets .ready for barter dtfd sale, arid Tcccp in their rconis gatrdtes for.t|ie strangling of better men who have the honesty, to act for the glory of the parity rather than the glory of leaders—then the time1 has come for the inasse's to assert their, dignity and honesty byTchoosing new hxen.'i'''in afthi?? nb-

Our position is 'simply'this—if Messrs. Wright and Bright do not forthwith quit quarreling and disturbing the peace of the party, let them both walk the plank. For all the service they have done, arid we are free to acknowledge their services, tile}* have been amply rewarded. One has been U. S. Senator for twelve years the other has been Governor two consecutive terms. The party has been sufficiently grateful. If when grown fat on power, they now turn round and commence scattering fire-brands among the yeomanry that made them all they are, we warn thenvthat their day and doom will, if it has not already, come. Let them look to it. The breath that made can and will {unmake them. The cry of "New men, new men" will iere long be heard. [v''

If necessary, we will "hereafter define the method of making distinguished but effete politicians-walk-* the plank. At this time we call upon the Democratic Presses that feel themselves free, and dare assert their independence,, to speak out. We wait to hear from them.-^ici i:. .' 1 3-Q I

GREAT EXCITEMENT! Our Merchants threatened icith annihilation—Cincinnati striving to break clown

Cra icfordsville The Journal of last week complains bitterly becausc the merchants of C'rawfordsville sec proper to give us a portion of their work, and boldly asserts that wc are violating our contract in relation to the bill of prices. Now wc have never entered into any obligation with the present proprietors of that paper in fact, have had little or no intercourse with thcin, and the charge that wc arc violating our faith, is false. We did have an understanding with Mr, Gilkey which expired with his retirement, and since then wc have been perfectly free to charge any price we pleased for our work, and which we presume wc have a perfcct right to do. If wc can afford to do work cheapcr than the Journal cflice wc sec no reason why they should threaten our merchants with immediate ruin by withdrawing their custom. Wc hope Mr. Cantrill will not be so rash as to buy his goods in Cincinnati and Louisville. If he has any regard for the prosperity of our town he will back from a resolution which, if carried out, cau be attended only with the most disastrous calamities. Wc are aware that Cincinnati has been sending out her drummers with the view of attracting Mr. Cantrill's trade to that city, offering to sell him oggs, poultry, brown sheeting, bologna sausage and pea nuts, at prices five per cent, lower than can be had here. Wc think our merchants should attend to this matter immediately. Let the board, of trade call a meeting forthwith and devise some means to retain a trade, which, if lost, will be the means of bringing down on us inevitable ruin. ..

WHEAT CROI'S. &C.

A gentleman who has just returned from a somewhat extensive trip through Upper Canada, informs the Rochester Detnocrat that nothing can excced tho promise of the wheat crop there, and unless some evil, now unexpected, shall befall it-, there will be an unusually bountiful harvest in Canada the present year.

The Milwaukee Sentinel says:—Receipts of wheat from the country largely increased yesterday, and advices from the stations in tho country arc to the effect that the warehouses are crowded with teams bringing wheat to be forwarded to market.

I)r. Smith, just from Dayton, Ohio, informs the Cleveland Plainrlealer that crops never looked more promising in the. Miami Valley than now.

In Northern Indiana and Northern Ohio, it is said, winter wheat never looked better.

The Louisville papers say that" since the late rains, the grain crops in that neighborhood look quite promising.

The same accounts from Louisiana and Virginia. Knoxville (Tenn.) papers say that provender is so scarce that the people are compelled to cut down the trees, in order to let the cattle cat the buds. The greatest want is felt among the poorer classcs.

The Circuit Court at Jacksonborough (Tenn.) was obliged to adjourn without sitting, owing to the impossibility of getting food for the horses of tho Judges and of the other officers of the Court.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says lie has watched the crops for 40 years, and thinks that iu Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky there will be a larger crop of Wheat harvested the coming season than ever before.

E. D. Mansfield, Esq., in an article upon the crops says of Indian Corn: If this be a good season, Ohio will produce 80,000,000 of bushels. In 1855 it must have produced, at least, seventy millions. From December last to May 1st corn has not been lass than fifty cents a bushel, and for some weeks it has been over sixty. Thus wc see that the actual value of the last crop exceeded thirty-five millions of dol? lers, in that State alone. In Kentucky it was but little less and in Indiana two thirds of this sum. Thus we find the corn crop in the three States amounts to nearly one hundred millions of dollars

WHY NOT ASSAIL JUDGE STORY?—Why do not the Black Republican papers assail Judge Story, asks the Detroit Free Press. It adds: He said of a decision on the same point as tbat decided bv Chief Justice Taney, at which Black Republicanism is so terribly incensed, that, "it appears to me the decision is impregnable and he added, "I have never heard any other opinion but that of approbation of it expressed among the.profession of the law." Why do not the Black Republican papers assail Judge Story? And Chief Justice Daggett, of Connecticut, why do they not assail him? He held the same doctrine prcciselj'as Chief Justice Taney. Why do tliey not assail more fiercely than they have done William Wirt? He ivas also clear upon the point decided by Chief Just:ce Taney.

THE ARCTIC FIRMAMENT.—The intense beauty of the arctic firmament can hardly be imagined. It looked close above our heads: with its stars magnified in glory, and the very planets twinkling so much as to baffle the observations of the astronomer. I have trodden the deck when the life of earth seemed suspended,—its movements, its sounds, its coloring, its companionships and as I looked on the radiant hemisphere circliug above me, as if rendering worship to the unseen Centre of light, 1 have ejaculated in humility of spirit, "Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him?" And then I have thought of the kindly world wc had left, with its revolving sunlight and shadow, and the other stars that gladden it in 'tBeir changes, and. the hearts that warmed to us there, till I lost myself in memories of those who are sot, and they bore" mo back -to tho stars again.—Dr.

A.s the rernairider came .through, the yard, apparently for the purpose of joining the others, they were headed off by the officers, captured and. locked up. lie other half fled up the. track-of the rail road, towards the depot, yelling mildly, and ^brandishing ^lung-shots, knives, "hariimers, and,such other weapons, as tiiey had b.eevri\able tP, conceal about their persons the night previous."-. They seemed, to "have nOid.cfiriite. plan of actjori—each apparently looking out for himself. Some kept the line of. the railroad—some took to the water— some clinied up the,bariks, and sought to eseape through the back country. ,The officers of the Prison succeeded, however, in surrO-Jridirig this gang and in driving the'men back'to their cells,' A general i-muster was:'then had, .and on counting up, it was ascertained that t\vo men were missing. They weresoon found one hid in the lime kiln, and the other stowed comfortably behind some machinery in the stone shop.

A partial investigation of the-circum-stances attending this attempt to escape reveals the fact that there was a conspiracy organised ahopt a week or ten days ago, the ringleaders being Henry Nclntosh alias Thomas Dunn, of the quarry gang, Ared Smith alias Dad Brady, of the tapestry shop, and William-Johnson, of the plating departemcnt. :vf.

THE MINNESOTA INDIAN STORY—WHAT ought to be said.—The St. Paul Advertiser thinks that papers, generally,'which bare pnblished the exaggerated rumors of the Indian troubles on their frontiers, ought now to contradict t-hem as follows:

They should state that the reported attach of Indians on the settlements'of the Blue Earth is without foundation—that the depredations connnenced in Northwestern Iowa, and terminated.within ten/miles of the line of that State, on the Des Moines river—that the Indians concerned in these outrages did not excccd a scorc in all—and they were a- d'otachcd band ®f roving outlaws—discarded by, and hostile to-all the tribes in the viciniiy ©f white scttlcmcntfu Tliey should further say that the reported offensive alliance between the' Sioux and the Chippewas is laughed at by every sensible man in tlic country—that an immemorial feud between these .tribes makes such »league impassible^ an«I that hatred of each.other is a no less cherished trad!~ tion amitfig them that friendship for tho whites, on whom they arc dependent for their subsistence,.

His ash-pile was examined, and teeth and bones found therein. His theory appears to have been that a medicine could be made by boiling the liver of a human being, that would cure liver complaint and so with regard to other dis? eases.

SUICIDE or A WOMAN.—The Louisville Journal of May 18th, says: On Saturday, Mary Jones, aif inmate of the house of ill-fame kept by Elvira Glover, on Green street, above Shelby, committed suicide by shooting herself in the heart. She had been for several days attempting to take her life, and her conduct was strictly guarded but while laboring under the excitement of liquor she compassed her own destruction and effected the fatal result.

The deceased was young and handsome. Her story is the old one of faithless love, plighted promises, and a fall from the chaste temple of virtuous womanhood.-— .. She became an outcast from home, and, liv-

SSTThe history of filibustering is full of warning. While Americans have never yet undertaken a national war that has failed, they have never undertaken a marauding expedition that has euccecded.—3IcKenzie's "patriot war" in Canada failed, and its victims were bung, transported or shot. Lopez's foray into Cuba failed, .and he perished by the garote. Tho Sonora Expedition failed, and the bones of its deluded members are bleaching on the plains. The.Nicaragua expedition has failed at last, also. Walker is cooped up and starving, while his men are begging their way back home, through New York aad New Or!loans.
