Oiiio NOMINATION^.—We notice by our Ohio exchanges that Col. JONAII ltit,EY, editor of the Toledo Daily Commercial, is favp^ably named in connccfcion with the Democratic nomination for Governor of that iState. Col. Riley is an able editor, a sound democrat and a whole-souled gentleman, and would creditably fill any ofFicc to which he might be chosen. Wc liopo the Buckeye Democracy may sec fit to make him rtifcir-standard-bearer in the approaching contcst', and that wc may yet greet him as Governor of Ohio. ia-.'-,-

IrVo would be happy to furnish some information as to his whereabouts, if wc could, but as our State repudiated him, we are satisfied he is not locating a Mai'ijJosa claim here. A friend at our elbow—a witty \yag —who never in his jolity speaks without a meaning, says he lately saio the woolly horse! Query!—Where was the woolly horso he saw? Will this lead to answers fto.tiiu "inquiries" addressed to the Tribwie?

t&~ Tlic contested election suit in Fountain county occupied the court the entire .time of tho Inst two weeks, and after arguments the Judge reserved his judgment until the 3d Monday of July. The proceedings will all be published, furnishing A vast food

(for

reflection upon the corrupt

maimer in which the polls are managed at times. We have boon assured by those wlio heard all the evidence in this contested ease, that frauds enough were committed in-Fountain county alone to change the result in the last Congressional election, and that by a tenure of fraud alone the Hon. James Wilson at present holds a seat in Congress which the honest voters of .the District clearly awarded to Dan'l. W. Voorlices. We look forward anxiously for the jiublieKtiion .of the evidence in this case.

HARD TIMES

Throughont all the buiibess avenues of Ijfe, in every walk, evcTjvpersonal interyi£w with men, from every tongue, through a if/portions of town and country a perfect unity of expression reaches our ears—a perfectly close time in monetary- affairs.— The rich nabob, living in princcly style in hjg magnificently furnished palaco the millionaire, living at his.easo with all his vast bonds and evidences of ^wealth the proud farmer/with his tftatterless"acres of land in the finest order of cultivation the merchant, with bis shelves loaded -with the choicest importations, and bis safe full of the best evidences in the shape of promises on sight the manufacturer, with his ware-rooms stowed with work and the daily laborer, ever cnxious to earn by-the sweat of his brow the honest reward of ten hoursf hard, hard toil —all all' send up their united voices -assuring us that there j? decidedly a shortness in the money market throughout' this entire community.— The rationale of this is easy of solution The wealth of this country is wrung from the soil. The last two ye^rff nature, usually so munificcnt,.to. this rich and .fertile-land, in its great wisdom saw fit,.in the midst of ourprosperity to bring its up "with' a short jefrfc in the middle of. otir career," and the result was, wc for sotue reason unknown to human intellect, had almost an entire failure of agricultural p*od«fcts ftnd as all branches of businessj jin America depend for their success'uppiirithc .agricultural interest, so as thatinterest fails in prosperity BO all othcr interistsi languish.

Wc hiveiilWhys"room to hope, and with labor, care® judgtiicnt and wise economy, the imagination of ihc dullest mind looks forward for the dawn of abetter and brighter 'day than that which-is found1 in the hdur of crlobm.-' "In council tli'crc is wisdom," is'an'old and approp.O? saying—yet as wisdom is not strictly, ^fiithis oafth so nothing perfect is arrived'at.: Still when wc have all the foregoing to reflect1, qpon, fbc Imuran mincl i.s involuntarily Jed to-spmc deductions. The farmer, the merchant, (he mechanic, the laborer, tho artisan-of- every liue- and grade invariably makes his dfnftyconrit3 his means and calculates his ability .to" execute his desired work before he seals his contracts for its execution.' The same principle -is carried out in all the meanderings of private life. Should not' public fluidfio'riafics who have been selected for their coolness.and their superior judgment be even more cautious in the expenditure of the public money than all private individuals are in their investments? The 'private individual with his own judgment and.. o\yn liberality employs his means to suit himself, and an extravagant expenditure or an ill-timed speculation could only injure himself.— The public officer however occupies a widely different position. No man can imagine —no pen can tell the sacrifices made—by WBIOLI ihc POOR IUO(1H:I' OR orphan's money is made to mingle with the millionaires surplus, in the common rcceptable of citizenship—the public,coffers. Officers, then, not only obligated by their honor after being selected to public stations, but likewise by that great connecting link between man and his Creator, cannot be too judicious either in the levy or expenditure of public funds. Especially is this the case when amid every class of community you hear the cry of distress. When bankers have no money to discount with and on the street out side shavers are compelled to decline tho best of paper.

These crude remarks are applicable to all times and all placcs, although it is true thatit.is only in hard times that the great body of people take any thought of the manner in which governmental machinery is operated. The staid rationalist, whose mind is sufficiently quiet to enable him to calmly and deliberately look through our publie archives and closely examine the official reports of the' vast amount of money annually expended by our public officers, and then •convince himself of the. real benefit to the great body of tax payers, he will be lied to the endorsement not only of our viewe as expressed "in this article, but "numerous others that are to follow.

BANK Q1JESTION. 'i ~p|'

Wc notice that the? Indiana State Journal, the leading organ of the Blaek Republican party in this State, still expecting by distraction abroad to gain that which it has hitherto, failed. to accomplish by it^. own schemes ,at home—preferring! rebellion, fevolution, disunion, anything^to the quiet success of the opposition, is now engaged in most.energetic efforts: to coerce the Democracy to the issue of. local banking.— And some of our papers are so unwise or so unguarded as to be caught in the trap.

The position of the Democratic party on the bank question is neither new or unknown—its landmarks long ago established, and always so faithfully observed, will be readily recognized by every well informed man. '.r:tr Oi T»»'S I

We have always held it to be a part of our creed, that our general systems of gov-, ernment, .whether acting in a- State or Federal capacity should stand wholly separate and apart from all .monied corporations, banks inclusive—and that under no circumstances they should be made a party to any such monopolies or become, share lidders in any such concerns. ,-r

:3IISo

r„in

This principle,after a protracted and able and brilliant debate in the most distinguisked National Council our country has ever known, was. finally yielded and.established in regard- to the United States .'Bank in the memorably dayofGen. Jackson, when the lion-hearted Hero of New:Orleans'Ipladfed his foot with characteristic firmness Upon the slowly bending neck of the monster bank, and the whole Democratic party helped him to keep it there until its life was crushed out, and the remotest hope even of a resurrection despaired of,' .•

far as our State is concerned,,squj present Constitution—the work of:the-De-mocracy-—expressly prohibits Indiana from ever holding or owning, any stock in'any bank 'or monied corporation. To divorce the government from all monied corporations lias-been the chief and constant aim of the^'Democracy,- and well and proudly have they achieved it. But while froin this aim as a political party we have never digressed, we have in 110 instance regarded it necessary to make war upon a properly regulated, system of local banking, aiiy more than 011 any other branch of business that may-be engaged in by our people.-jv-v

We would gladly seethe country.without banks, and universal hard currency prevail, but we suppose'no'well informed man, or in fact any mail that can think for himself, believes it possible to drive the paper currency from the .State altogether. This then being our position, it seems to us that the o'nly question wc have to settle is shall wc have a paper currency of our own, or shall we let Ohio, Michigan, Illinois. Kentucky and other States furnish it for us.— We prefer a home currency to a foreign currency.. All banks arc more or less liable to be overcome with sudden reverses, and those located in our midst, can be better watched by us, and more under our control than those at a distauce.

But it is proposed to embroil us in the questions growing out of the passage of the new bank bill and the organization of the Bank of the State of Indiana under it.— This never has been a party question.— More Black Republicans than Democrats voted for it-—a majority of the board that organized it were Black Republicans.— The banking powers confcred by the bill arc mainly drawn from the provisions of the. charter of the old State Bank, and if prudently managed and skillfully' engineered wc have little doubt that it will accomplish ends, just as useful and in a manner, just as safe, as its predecessor, the old S at a

We are not going into a defence here of this bank or any other bank—wc would not have voted for the bill—nor, we may add, for^any other bank bill we, ever saw but if it furnishes the people of the State .with a safe currency, wc shall place or attempt to' place no obstacles in its way—if it fail to do this our voice is let it be wound up, under the law.

While therefore we shall not defend it, we shall condemn no man who may be in favor of it., We do not by any means hold that to be a democrat it is essential to eschew all connexion-with banking as a business any more "than that he should refuse to embark in 'any honest and honorable mercantile enterprise." ,r

In fact since paper currency cannot be driven from our-State and wc cannot attain to this our first wish—aiiul as( home currency is. better than' foreign! currency, we arc rather inclined to think, that a few sound democrats stationed at eligible posts in these concerns would be admirably adapted to'the emergency as'a means of moderatiori'and ^defehkd. Experience. hks ,taug|it us thatr tba thieving,propensities of..these BlackRepublican managers arc at all times a pi-ober subjectof vigilance.and care. It has been so with the^old. State Bank—if niaV:i)e 'so',with' this. -It^will fib a ^lponiy day.'to., the Democracy of.Jndia,na \vhen tliey^shfliil .attempt to incorporate into their, creedl cither opposition to local. tianks-j or suppprtof lical banks as a test of political •»ii- »uii ,«» -J-: -*u a ifi Liil 1 wlWcrc we.to attempt.to ostracise.ail who do -not support or who do not oppose such institutions, in cither event, our influence so far as it accomplished, anything, Would tend to bring us riiim ^.

THE PROSPECTS.. OP./THE WHEAT CROP IN l^E STATK. From a general knowledge ofcthia subject we think

vwe

can" gr^E so|fli informa

tion that will b"6l5f practical "Utility to the farmer and also the produce merchant." Owing tp the severity, of-a long winter, also a late eold spring* it'has been generally supposed that our wheat crop would be quile a failureT'butYrom what wc are enabled to learn from correspondents' and glean-from the different publications in the countjjjjye are satisfied that such is npt really the case, and we arc extremely liappy to so. inform our readers.. For although a scarcity of the artiele might1 render the prices'higheri yet all-who' raise it must remember that their product is so much ligher that their receipts for their grain mus.t necessarily fall short and the distress of fhft'JooiPman is great irt the extreme.

If wheat, one of the staples of the couri•ty is a failure,- tHeuimoney -is scarce, -.and when,itJs-^(^ccJthe laborer, receives but poor compensation ,forbis., daily ..toil, and cannot raise the where-wi^th-all.to meet his eVery-day expensed'sind comfortably support his family.

So it should be cause: for universal re joicing to .know that the staff .of life is abundantly supplied,. Wheat .at^ .pne dollar per bushel, ^ith ajull crop, is better for the: farmer%lian the high' -prices th&t have sometimes ranged.with 'but a third or jhalf crop. There is no doubt but what the wheat was sadly injured from thp protracted Winter. In some counties ahd States it was sadly affected from the^sUow having been blown off of it,' and -iita roots being left bare to thp- protracted {freezing and thawing but this in no.t, ,jpo general as was at first'siipposed.

It is not genierail^,!fc'on1jfedddt that- the cold spring,' instead of injuring:it, has bfeeii a benefit to it causing it'to take: deep

rroot

and spread so as to. cover nearly the whole ground. itj ,r In our, own State" there arc many places where on thc.prairie farmy^t.is considerably injured, but yet'inailr 6f'thc timbered sections even in the' Northern sections the States, the crop is a- full average.

While in -the.,.whole Southern portion there is little or no cause of complaint-.-Wc are quite familiar with the matter in Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

In all of Southern Illinois and the whole State of Missouri the crop is a •fine one thus far. In every poi1-tion of Northern Illinois, Wisconsin and. .-Iojva, it has been somewhat ali'ectcd by the winter. But in many of these localities they' luivc, sowed large quantities of spring wheat total cits place. •.

Tbc State, of Michigan, through, will average about a half crop., Our correspondent's in New,' York Pennsylvania, and' Ohio, 'inform us that there arc locaiitiesiiwhore' fthe prospect appears to have been, .considerable, affected. But as a general tiling the crops is not much below tlic average' amount.

We cannot speak with personal knowledge of the prospects in.the New England States, but as they are not really wheat growing States,..it is not supposed that they could affect the market materially any way.

in the whole of'thp" Southern States the prospects never were better. From an exchange wc clip the following: ^'The New Orleans Picayune of the 13th nays that from every pnrt oftho Southern country it has the most gratifying accounts of the growing wheat crop. It says, in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, and our own State, the promises of an abundant harvest were never better. Every Where the crop is back ward, but vigorous and healthy, the rcccnt genial weather is bringing it, rapidly forward, and unless something now unforc seen occurs, to a rich and early harvest.— It is probable, indeed, that the cold, back ward spring has actually been favorable to it, causing it take firmer roots and to 'spread' as-the farmer says"

We have not seen anything yet in par ticular in relation to the prospects of the crop in Europe^ but in. the Cimadas reports says'ifcis .Very fine) however we' do not pretend to state in relation to these localities bccaua TVC arc uot pyri'cctly informed.

We arc of the opinion that on the whole, the crops of the whole country will be a fair one, unless something unforeseen should yet befall it, and we think as a matter of course, that as soon as the effects of the crop are felt in the makct that the present high prices will, yea, must decline.

The Southern crop will be ready for market much before our own, and our ad vice to farmers is, that they had better sell at the present prices, than to wait for it to raise to ^1,75, and at lest sell it for a dollar. A bird in haiid is worth two in the bush. You can now take one dollar and fifty cents per bushel, and our advice is to sell-by all means.

INDIANA POLITICS.

There is no real difference in sentiment, with the great body of the Indiana Democracy as to any questions of party principlcs'and policy. .They arc animated with the common purpose to preserve our Na tionarinstitutionS in their original integrity and purity and to advance the general welfare and .happiness of the country.— For t-hesO objects the Democray have ever waged ii warfare and ever will. And when our political enemies are to be'met, -no matter-in'what guise they may appear, the Democratic, heart will beat with a commonpulse and purpose, and unite with a heavy zeal to secure a victory'. The noble sacrifices laboi-s arid efforts of the good and true men of the party arid the country last •full, to sustain the Union and the Constitution, cannot easily and will not idly be neutralized or destroyed.. It was. a high and patriotic motive which demanded' these efforts, and the:saine patriotism still lives to perpetuate what was then accomplished.

The locai press which represents the sentiment of tlici'r'dftferent neighborhoods, and'the Veliable,1 true and -disinterested men of the party- everywhere, with rare exceptions, giyeujvidcnce that the rivalry or personal t'euds of men will not be permi{ted to.destroy its harmony and .unity.^-r Th'e bickerings' and grumblings which have occurred and -been heard here andr there, will prove to be but temporary ebullitions, subsiding generally with the reflection that it is for principles not spoils that tl(e Democracy battle—that disappointment" to some must occur—and that the success of the party is infinitely^ beyond the advancement of any of its individual members..

These bubblings upon the surface of the ataeam prove.that there is life beneath.— There is but little danger of cormptiori in

a party where its members are 7 ceaselessly tigilaait and active.. It is the Best aign of health-and figor. Andjess danger is /iaBe apprekended from an WerzcaT to preserve purity and fidelity to principal thw an indifferance and lukewarmness as to the actions of its representatives. Grumblers, criticizerff and foult ^finders ispem almost 4 necessity tb preserve the Tiealth oiFthe body politic. -When party agents and-politieans find that scrutinizing eyes, are .upon them, it confines them more closely to the'straight and narrow-path'of'duty.

Wc have never-: found fault, and- shall not, with any member pf the party, no matter how plos.e has, been or may.-be his scrutiny into the public acts of any official, but only those who, from sinister motives, have attempted or may attempt to feed and fan the -flames of discord'and-disunion. The agent should not only be held accountable, but should-be willing ^to glve.ai^account of his stewardship ,to his party/ it isj equally''a'duty to sustain and entourage.a faithful public servant, as-to condemn one who has proved faithless.:'

In.,the,..heat" occasioned by the many severe and unjust attacks upon our motives arid actions, which occured during .the past few weeks, although sometinics! bitte'r in reply, wc have intended no injustice.— •Whoever attacks must look for- a: dcfencc We have not that measure-, of! christian .forbearance and patience when one cheek is smote, to turn the other. .When a blow is given, wc expect to rctuiro it, but when there is no necessity,1 it seems folly "fof friends to engage in a 'contest which can only amuse and benefit our opponents. If there is any difference upon questions pf policy, it'can be kindly discussed and its dcte'rniiriatiSn left to the delegates'of the party when in convention assembled, or to the voice of the people.

In our position we can know np difference in the men of the party. It is not our duty to favor one at the expense of 'the other. Th6fciirididatcs of the party -arid its chosen representatives we are bound to sustain when faithful, but we shall not lend our aid to,influence the selection of, the first or ""to do injustice to the latter. Wc shall zealously mriiritain in the.future, as wc have in the® past, -the principles and policy of the party as authoritatively expressed, and sustajn its faithful servants, not'only, but every member of the party when assailed.—-State Sentinel.

Tin-: STEAM FRIGATE JS'IAGARA.—-The London Times devotes a column to a detailed description of the U. States steam frigate Niagara, which, is now off Gravesend, (Eng.,) to assist in laying the submarine. telegraph. The vessel is pronounced the noblest specimen of naval architecture that has ever crossed the Atlantic and tlic editor adds:

Not till the visitor has walked forward and perched himself somewhere near the bowsprit, can he fully appreciate her immense size and beautiful form, and feel that he is looking down on such a war .steamer as the world has not yet seen the equal of, and by the side of which the English navy can show nothing to compete.

EST The late riot in the city of Washington lias called forth the following notice from the New York Courier and Enquirer, one of the most violent of the opponents of the Pomonratie party and the President:

The vigorous measures taken by Mayor Magriuler, and furthered by President Buchanan, iu vindication of the law and the public pcacc, entitle them to the commendation of every good citizen throughout the length and breadth of the land. The executive officer—we carc not what party lie belongs to—who in trying times successfully asserts and maintains tlic supremacy of the law, is lie who of all men deserves best of the republic.

S@f"A ease of worse than heathen cruel ty is thus reported by the Worchester (Mass.) Transcript:—"A11 old man named Markham was found, by the roadside in Palmer, on last Monday week, suffering from the ravages of the small-pox. The burning sun beat on his bloated and swollen features he was unable to speak, and almost insensible to his sad condition. It was npt till he had been taken over the hills, to the hospital, in Monson, and received the refreshing charities of that institution, that lie was sufficiently restored to tell his mournful story. He had lived Wilbrohatn, and as soon as the marks of his malignant disease appeared, lie had been moved by order of the overseers of the poor, to'the limits of Palmer, and left on the roadside' to perish." And this happened in Massacusctts, where people weep over the rongs of "bleeding Kansas," and thank God that they arc holier and better than other men. ..

Lons, June 15.—Tj^e

ST. LOL'IS, June 15. —Tj^E Democrat learns that the Free State Legislature met at Topelca on the fifth inst.—no quorum.— On the 10th they went into secret session to discuss tlic propriety of immediately organizing and putting into operation the new government.

On the 11th inst. the Senate elected W. A. Phillips United States Senator in placc of Lane. .-

The Legislature almost unanimously sustains the convention. The convention met at Topeka on the !)th, Lane presiding. Resolutions were adopted, disowning the territorial government, land declaring that an admission into the Union under the Topeka constitution to be the onIv method of adjuAtinir the dif-

Acuities, pledging to pursue the application

pending beforo Congress, believing that

measure as just r.nd accordant with the principles of the past legislation of the country, and will, eventually, be conecdcd to. That it i.s the duty of the legislature to complete a State organization. Other resolutions, recommending the free State party to disregard the approaching clcctions and casting suspicion upon any man who consents to vote for Browne as a candidate for the Constitutional Convention, were passed and then adjourned.

ISF" A writer in the New York Tribune thus expresses the feeling of every mail of heart: -ri

There is nothing demi in the deviliuhness of the conteiuptiblc villian that goes out of the city, gun in hand, to spend his I day in the country shooting birds. His whole character, taste, disposition, governing. principle, must be wholly devilish—

ry Consumption, Otis'Etus Hovsy£ ia tha twenty-sixth year of his age. 'n* The deceased was a young man of nffleti more than ordinary pfomiso. He gradua* ted at the last commencement of Wabasfc College—not quite a year since.- Be had! the profession of law in view, as the mean* by which he thought he could best succeed and rise in life. And -in this he judged rightly, for he had that peculiar mental formation which is best adapted to eninent success in law—quickness of perception, sound, strong, reasoning power?, and vigorous common sense. He studied law list fall in the office of Naylor St Wilson,^ but bad health compelled him to seek a milder climate, and he spent the Winter in Kentucky and Louisiana/. ^THe insidious disease of which he was the victim, however, had become incurable, and he returned a few weeks 'iigo to Prof. Hovey-'s, whero he was nursed with all the care and attention which kind hearts and skilful hands could suggest and administer

The deceased was a firm believer in the truths of the Christian religion, and a,consistent practi^cr of his manly faith. With every reason to expect an honored emi* nencc in the profession which he had adapted—having labored many years for the acquisition of a solid and polished education, and being just ready to start out in life's great and exciting endeavors, he yet died with entire resignation to the will of the God lie worshiped. Frank, generous and sincere, he won the regard of all who knew him. Cordial, warm, and true in his, attachments, his friends loved him with that strength of friendship which true nobility alone can secure. Many, very many, lament his early death, but they will never forget Jiim, and in the years to come many a bright ray will be reflected on their hearts from memories of happy hours spent with OTIS E.
