\EAKLT INDIANA TRIALS AND SKi:rc«rs.— We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of this new work, just issued from the press by Oliver II. Smith. It is a work that should be in the library of every Indianian, from the fact that it is a faithful history of the early times of Iloosicrdom. Its humorous sketches and thrilling incidents of western life will no doubt be read with avidity by our old pioneers as well as by the rising youth of our State. Let every me secure a copy of this'work.

Art Unfortunate nomination will ruin utterly the reconciliation now going on between the wings.. That reconciliation progresses as the excitement upon the Lecompton question dies but therefore,- evcry ihoiitli is capital gained. rV, -p

Anofclici'tpoint should not be overlooked! Plain speaking requires us to ^-knowledge that the chances of success in the District are against us. In such a position wc have much to gain by waiting for the Republicans to lake the initiative. If we nominated our best man to-morrow, the most:sanguine Yankee would nevertheless wit-held a bet until lie knew who was trotted''out as his opponent. Let us not fire until we see the vrhi^e of our cncmy's,.cye.

Again. AVe confess wc should much doubt the judgment and ability of the gentleman who would accept our 'nomination in advance of the settlement of the Lecompton question: ami tins upon tlie same principle that wc should doubt the competency, however we admired the courage,:of the captain who would offer to lead his regiment over a bed of lighted, hissing bomb shells. Emphatically discretion is at least equal to valour in politics.

Not wantihg the nomination ourselves, wc arc perfectly cdol upon the subject.— Being a Democrat,.,and editing a Democratic paper, we shall regard the interest of the old party and the success of its ancicnt principles as paramount to the gratification of this maii's variiiy 67 that man's folly. Our nominee this year ought to be a strong speaker, identified unquestionably with popular sovereignty. Democracy must be defended ably on the stump, and the man to do it in this District, must be one beyond impeachment upon the grand issue. He must not only be able to retain our full strength in the last fight, but he must le to-makft ffainj^-tifirencmy. ever, is not exactly to the question, though not wholly impertinent. It will do to think of by those who arc not anxious for the nomination.

We think, for the reasons above given and for others not given, that postponement of.the nomination until about August is the policy. of tye Democracy in the 8th District

TIIF, MILITARY—FUN AHEAD. Arrangements arc being ifftde for a military encampment to be held at some point on the Lafayette and Indianapolis railroad. Four companies are to be present—the Lafayette Guards, the City Grey's and National Guards, of Indianapolis, and the Montgomery Guards, of Crawfordsvillc. Thorntown has been suggested as tho plncc, and the '26th of May, as the time.

AVe sincerely hope this project will be carried out. To our knowledge nothing of the kind has ever been witnessed in Indiana. If the time and placc above suggested is agreed upon, our Guards will march there by way of Darlington. So pitch in "Montgomcrics''—for the honor of the town. Thousands will be thcro to sec. •#.

REPUBLICAN CAXDIDV1I Candidates for Congress arc thickening, and as tho Republican sflatter themselves that they have "a sure thing" in this District, it is. not astonishing that most of the ambition is developed on their side. It has amused us to witness the disinterestedness of Lafayette irt•'this connection: one would thiuk that every other citizen of that Artesian town was an aspirant for Congressional honors. AVe are pleased, therefore, to hear mention made of somebody outside of that city of patriots and magnificent Blue-Lick stinks. Hon. J. R. M. Bryant, of Williamsport, wc arc informed, will compete with the Lafayette /^JTWMforthc Republican nomination. In point of ability, he is at least their equal: as a gcntlejjian, lie is superior to most of them. The contest wc prcdict will be chiefly between Mr. Bryant and Daniel Mace, of "bloomer"' notoriety. Why can't tlicy all run? u--.-i.'JS.'L •. «^t

IMPOSING ^FUNERAL.

Mr. Mullikin was buried on last Tucsda}*, and was at the time of his death a member of the '•Guards/' the Company turned out and buried him with military honors.

We do not know that he is candidate atop-do we know that he would-accept the nomination if tendered to him but this we do know, that no democrat in the District would make a more gallant fight than hej or be more likely to triumph at'the polls^-i 'lHe is well known all over the district, and is popular wherever known/ His .'course in jthc Senate at the last session of our legislature,,, was*. highly creditable to himself and to the constituency who sent him there: and gave him a name and fanVe Jill over thp State as one of the'leaders 'of tlie''Democracy of Indiana.-jt

AYithout the fear of contradiction, we may say he came out of that convention with more .honor than any other man in it. -,t

AVe think, under all the circumstances, there is no democrat in the District more deserving the confidence of the democratic masses,, nor any who weulimake a more gallant rape. ./«

BANK OF DOVER HILL, INDIANA.—A correspondent from Missouri writes to his friend in Indianapolis for' the character of the Bank of Dover Hill, Indiana, saying that certain parties in the Territory had $10,000 of its paper, which tlicy were putting into circulation. The response is that there is no such bank in existence, and that it is the wildest kind of a icildcat concern. ..

DORCAS DELICIITED!—If that excellent lady, Dorcas, who, in old times made garments for the poor, could have seen a Sewing Machine in operation, her benevolent heart would have leaped for joy. Though she "died without the sight," wc arc more fortunate, for the admirable Sewing Machine of Messrs. GROVEB & BAKER is almost every where to be seen in operation. No more need of the wearisome eye-dam-aging, health-destroying, hand-sewing operation. AVoman may now be emancipated from slavery, and find her work far better done than when she wrought painfully with the needle. Either with silk or cotton from common spools,"and all kinds of fabrics, it sews a strong and beautiful seam, which will not rip. It is managed with perfect case, and is not liable to get out of order.

"^Thelifemodrate wbo ^feos^i' the SMtate bill for the add^^at&an&imde^fiie Lecriiipton c»8titufen lyve ^raya hfcaed their Opposition «o fer a^witJwnipoir the ground that that constitution did. not express the wjshe? pf the people of Kangas, |Brj at leasttiKait th^y had never had an opportunity of declaring that they did approve of that insta'STnetitV" Arfor tlie 'cdfistitution itself, they did'not feel called upon to express an opinidn/rightly considering that that was a malter "with which the people of Kansas alone had to do. If it suited them, well if not, also well.

The Republicans who opposed the admission of Kansas under that instrument did so originally on the ground of their dislike for slavery, and in obedience to that plank of their platforih which declared their hostility to .the admission of any more $lave States, and especially of slave States formed out of any territory covered by the Missouri Compromise. But in voting for the Crittenden amendment,! which ^proposed to acdmit Kansas-under the Lecompton constitution, provided a majority of. the people of Kansas voted to accept that constitution, the Republicans abandoned their original position and virtually came to that occupied by the anti-Lebompton Democrats -—with how much sincerity time will determine r" __ {inn ri)1

Anti-Lccompton Democrats are not tenacious as to the precise mariner in which the question of acceptance or rejection shall be put to the people of .Kansas. AVhat they want is the substatce. not the shadow. They want the people of Kansas ito have an opportunity of saying at the polls whether they w.:il or will not come-inn .under the Lecompton constitution. So ,that the great end is obtained, they care little for the form in which it may be.done.. The great difference between the Iieconipton ana an-ti-Lecompton Democrats has been that the former have contended that constitutional conventions liave the right to make constitutions and put them in force" without ratification by the people while the latter have contended that:the people alone .are sovereign, and to force upon them a constitution which they have had no opportunity of ratifying, is a violation of the principles of Democracy. Under no. circumstances were they willing to give up this principle.

The question now arises,' is this principle abandoned in the bill reported by Mr. English from the conference committee?— Certainly not, as we understand it. Mr. E.'s bill proposes to give the Lecomptonites in Congress a hole through which they may crawl out of their dilemma, by submitting to the people of Kansas the question whether tlicy will accept an ordinance giving them a ccrtaiii amount of lajids.—, Lf they say ytfs, tlten tliey come in with the Lecompton constitution. If no, they remain out until thej' have population enough to elect one member of Congress.

Some of tho Republican papers style this a bribe on the one hand and a threat on the other—a bribe of lands tqfcacccpt Lecompton and a threat if they tl cent, that_theyjiiu^^ •^op5!afion^rtouglvt6^^PPI|RR!prcscnta' tivc. This jj^ridi'culous. There is no offer*of a bribe/in tlie case. Let Kansas come in under whatsoever constitution she may, she wilF-still get the lands, though not so large a^rantity tmder Mr/English's bill as provided for in the ordinance to the Lecompton constitution.These lands are given to all the new States upon their admission. There was the same inducement —the same "bribe"—to accept the Lecompton constitution under Mr. Crittenden's bill as under Mr. English's. Under the former the people accept Lecompton and the lands—under the latter the lands and Lecompton. Congress never refuses these lands to the new States: Minnesota will get them just as soon as the bill for her admission now before the House passes that body, having already passed the Senate.

Now for the "threat." It is said that unless the people of Kansas accept Lccompton tlicy cannot get into the Union until they have population sufficient to elect one Representative to Congress— 98,000. AVcll, we think no State ought to be brought into the Union until she lias people enough to entitle her to at least one Representative. It is wrong to permit new States to come into the Union until tlicy have a population equal at least to that of one Congressional District. These States arc thus given an undue weight in the Senate. It is no hardship for them to wait till tlicy can muster 03,000 inhabitants, which certainly cannot be long in a portion of the country offering so many inducements to settlers as Kansas. Minnesota has considerably more than the requisite population

for 'a" cprescntative

and we do-not see why the people of Kansas are entitled to more privileges than those of Minnesota. AVe do not sec that they have proved themselves to be more peaceable and law abiding citizcns than those of Minnesota, and therefore are not in our opinion entitled to any favors denied to the latter Territory.—Neic Allxuiy Led'

SAD EFFECTS OF TIIE GRE \T A1VAKE.N'INCi HUMBUG. The insanity of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Peck, of Providcnce, R. I., and dcathtof the latter, as the result of over excitementin religion, is mentioned in the Providcnce 11.1, papers. The Pist, giving an account of the circumstances, before Mrs. Peck's death, said:

Both of them have felt much interest in the revival now progressing here, and recently have allowed religious subjects to so constantly press upon their thoughts as to prevent them from eating or sleeping with much regularity. AVithin a few days both have manifested unmistakable signs of insanity, and Mr. Peck, when not under the influence of chloroform, has had to be handcuffed to prevent him from injuring himself and those about him. Mrs. Peck, as is usual in such cases, believed that God had commanded her to fast, and has thus refused food for several days, save on one or two occasions. She had also imagined that her children had been commanded to fast insisted that they Bhould refuse food, and was so reckless in her chastisement of them when they disobeyed her, that she also had to be confined.

A GAY DECKIVER.—Not long ago there resided at Royalton, in this county, a gay Lothario rejoicing in the somewhat mellifluous appelation of Dr. Ross Rrss—a smooth, polished, easy, charming little fellow just the boy to make a piece of calico flutter and tremble like an aspen leaf in a gale of wind. In the same beautiful village resided two maidens fair—plump, bnght-cyed, cherry-cheeked, rosy-lipped maidens, (poetic license,) with warm, tender, susceptible hearts, and all the simple artlcssncss and child-like confidcncc of sweet sixteen, (or twenty-six, we forget which.) That affections warm as theirs could remain donnent forever—that they should "waste their sweetness on the desert air"— was of course impossible. That the deep hidden fire within their bosoms, only waiting to be fanned into flame, should burst forth with the fury of a volcano, and pour the rich lava of its love upon some object, at some time, it was but natural to suppose.

Au object presented itself—and that object was the gallant Doctor. His elegant form, his gleeful manners, his winning smile—all these danced before their curaDtured visions like the bright creations of a fairy talc. And then his name!—how musical! DOCTOU Ross Russ!—Mas. Dr. Ross Russ! How perfectly ravishing to the ear would be that name! The flame [burned brighter and brighter, and soon became an all-consuming, all-devouring clement. They loved!—loved deeply, fondly, devotedly—loved Doctor Ross Russ!—

Not only so it soon became apparent that the passion was reciprocated. The trio met, and met again, and parted still to meet again. AVhat words were breathed, what vows were made, what tales of love were whispered in the eager drinking ear,'tis not for us to tell a rude and vulgar world. Suffice to say, they basked in all the bright sunshine of a warm first love, with no envious. ej'cs to disturb the sweetness of the dream.

Time rolled on, each succeeding day but added to their joy, until one morning— one Saturday morning—last Saturday morning, in fact—-the gay and brilliant Doctor was nowhere to be found. AVhilc night's sable mantle lingered o'er the earth, he had vanished, disappeared, "cut dirt." 'Twas then the maidens from their dream awoke, to find themselves "as ladies do ?iot wish to be" who have no "lords" to love. Too late they found that they had "loved not wisely but too well." The dream had passed away, and so had Dr. Ross Russ—to furrin" parts.
