At the late Democratic meeting

hold at Indianapolis 011 the evening of the 25th ultimo, the Hon. James Hughes formally read out the entire Democratic party of the State. lie pronounced a violent philippic against .Senator Douglas, and ex pressed a wish that ho might be defeated in the Senatorial election to be held thi winter. lie also repudiated the principle of popular sovereignty and advocate! the Abolition doctrine, that the people of a Territory have no right to legislate n:m the question of slavery. This nii'i lLighss was defeated for Cnigrc33 in tho Third District. His defeat was bronchi about, by his desertion cf the Cincinnati platform, and since then he has bccomo a:i open disorganizes Tlis reading Democrat-? out of the party is supremely ridiculous.

HoT" The Legislature up to the present time have done a vast amount of gassing bnt no business. It is two weeks to-day that these follows have been in session and have as yet accomplished nothing. The Republicans, Americans and renegade Democrats spend the time and money of the people in resolving that Rright and Fitch are illegally elected.

•67* The Montgomery Journal, taking advantage of the rashness and stupidity of the Uughes's and Robinson's, would make its readers believe that these men reflected the sentiments Of the Democratic party in Indiana. Could we not with equal fairness charge that the Hon. James Wilson represented the principles and morals of the Republican party

A VAGRANT LAW.—We think the present legislature should pass an act in relation to vagrancy. Nearly every town in the State is cursed with vagrants. Should such a law be passed we will venture to say that Crawfordsvillc could sell at least a dozen a month under the hammer, to the highest bidder.

FLIGHT OF THE MURDERER!

On the night of the 26th of November, the wife of Jonathan J3. CNrens, Who has heretofore resided about fire miles southeast of Ladoga, in this county, died very suddenly. Suspicion was at once excited that her husband was in some manner instrumental in her death On Wednesday the 1st inst., Owens fled, and since then the body has been disinterred and a post mortem examination had before a coroner's jury. The jury gave a verdict that the deceased camc to her death from poison administered by her husband. Two hundred dollars reward is offered for his apprehension. Owens is about 46 or 50 years old, 6 feet high, raw boned, large front teeth, one or two gone dark brownhair,rather long, and inclined to curl on the lower end eyes hazel or yellowish cast, small scar on upper lip, and rather disposed to toss his head in conversation had on when he left a drab furred hat and black overcoat.

SENSIBLE COUNSEL.

The South Carolinian published at Columbia, South Carolina,: and the official paper of the Legislature, in a recent article reviewing the elections in the Northern States, thus admonishes the South, as to tho results to be naturally expected in all cases of a wilful departure from correct principles. It says:

"Forgetful of every rule laid down in the case of California, with a unanimity before unprecedented in Southern action, we all rallied to the! support Of the Lecoinpton Constitution, and for the mere expedienoy of the moment, violently and persistently urged its acceptance, notwithstanding the absence of an enabling act,' the deficiency of population, and the known multiplicity of the election,frauds. What more could we expect, than that our ienemies at the North should make use of this glaring'inconsistency, and should turn it against us with telling effect in their popular elections? They had told'the people of the North that the South, in opposing the admission of California, was not actuated by principle, but by expediency and these assertions we verified by voting for th LccompUm constitution The Administration wavered in its advocacy of the Lccouipton constitution,. and many Northern Democrats advised the South that it had nothing to gain, that the pro-slavery feature was a mere dead letter, not worth, practically, the parchment upon which it was written. But no, the warm blood of the South was up. This advice was mocked, and leading papers in the State and South denounced Mr. Buchanan as 'a trai tor.' "Madly we rushed on under tho impuls of this ultra sentiment, which, for the time seemed to have inflamed the whole South, until finally we found ourselves arrayed against tho vast majority of the people of

Kansas, a majority of Congress, a majority of States, and a vast majority of the popular vote and. (what was of infinitely more consequence, and which led to the preceding majorities,) we found ourselves butting with violent collision against our own principles. In looking at the recent elections, we must not overlook these considerations for the recent reverses arc but retributions, which have befallen us in consequence of of our abandonment of principles—and the only surprise is, that they have not been greater. To this cause we are disposed to attribute the increased vote of the Republican party."

THE DiSSEWSroif BET* EE!f the CZAR AW 8OBILiT*f0F RUSSIA, 'g^ Some tone since w4 noticed the veiy hostile ifeeiing.which^j&s »prung iij» in

Rusr-ia against the new Czar, Alexander the Second, who has resolutely persisted in emancipating the serff otivthe e&tates, of the nobility,_a measure.whichtkey consider greatlj' to their pecuniary and political detriment. The following paragraphs, which wc clip, from the late foreign news, throw further light upon this matter: "The Emperor Alexander had addressed the nobility of Moscow in grave and severe terms on the apathy they have displayed in reference to the abolition of. serfdom. A deputation of the nobility of Mos cow having been introduced to the Czar, in the Kremlin, he said that it was irapos sible to thank them, for their co-operation They had neither been the first, nor the second, nor the third," to answer to his appeal. This had grieved, him profoundly. The eyes of Russia were, he said, fixed on Moscow. He asked them to give him the opportunity of defending'them 'I am/ he said, 'attached to the nobility but I desire the general good.' "A letter from St. Petersburgh says it is evident that the nobility silently oppose the wishes of the Emperor. The people of Russia have an unbounded confidence in the Czar. This alone prevents a terria &

In despotical countries like Russia there is but one way left open for a revolution, and that is through the assassination of the Emperor. The. nobility sulleu, morose and despotic, arc q«ite likely to resort to that terrible alternative. The position of the Emperor is extremely critical, aud, unless he uses great circximspection, he will follow the path of Paul the First, Peter the Second and Others of his predecessors', leading directly to deposition and assassination.

CARLYLE ON T«N N EGRO .—"Hapless Nigger gone mastcrless—Nigger totally unfit for self-guidance, yet without master good or bad," says Mr. Carlyle iu his latest work, The Tlistory of Frederick the Qreat, is a being "whose teats, 110 god or mau can rejoice in.".

Tho official majority for John A.

Logan, Democrat,,in the Ninth or "Egypt" Congressi0naL,l)istriet, inconsiderably more than has hccn eoncodc.d .in previous estimates. It is over 13,000. The total vote of the distribt isj ab'out 19,000. Mr. Logan lias a heavier majority, by several thousand, than any other Congressman in the United States. The full vote of "Egypt" was not out, for, if it had been, the Democratic majority would not have fallen short of 15,000. It can probably be crowded up to 16,000 or 17,000 in the Presidential election. All hail, "Egypt!" It- is the "promised land" of the Democracy of Illinois.

THE COUNTRY FOR THE POOR MAN, IF HE WILT, WORK.—A Louisianian writes from the Isthmus of Tehuantcpcc: "I have seen a sugar-cane here as large round as a wine bottle, and fully eighteen feet high. Coffee of the finest kind, and all the fruits of the tropics are produced here and can be produced to an enormous extent, when labor and capital are available for the purpose. Land here is now being sold by the government at $1,000 per league. Some Americans have bought tracts, and will soon have sugar to sell."

A SURE CUI:I- FOR ERYSIPELAS.—A correspondent of the Providence Journal says that in ninety-nine eases of every hundred cranberries applied as a poultice will effectually cure the erysipelas. There is not an instance known where it has failed to effect a cure when faithfully applied before the sufferer was in a dying state.— Two or three applications generally do the work.

There is a dignity about that going

away alone, we call dying, that wrapping the mantle of immortality about us that putting aside with a pale hand, the azure curtains that are drawn around this cradle of a world that venturing away from home for the first time in our lives, for wc are not dead there is nothing dead to speak of, and seeing foreign countries not laid down 011 any maps wc know about.

There must be lovely lands ^somewhere starward, for none ever return that go thither, and wc very much doubt if any would if they could.

EST" Tho" Boston Journal says a daughter of one of the richest men in America ten years ago, herself the wife of a great man, has an attendant, whose whole duty it is to keep her from intoxication. Another daughter drauk ravenously her. cologne water, for want of spirits or opium, aud died in her infatuation/ One of the most splendid women of our time degrades herself, at varying intervals, by a regular drunk.

These ladies—sisters—eminent for their beauty and accomplishments—rolling in wealth—the leaders of high tone in the refined and intellectual society of Boston, inherited an insatiable appetite for stiuiulant^from a mother, who indulged in temperately in their use, perhaps, before they were born. These are facts .that appeal with terrible force to mothers "to touch not taste not" that which kindles a fire that can never be quenched. This remarkable family, blessed with unbounded wealth, endowed with unusual personal beauty, beloved for their amiable and generous traits of character, and admired for their intellectual sprightliness, have had all these charms of life destroyed by an hereditary vice that has already dcscendcd to the grandchildren. The family is allied to the most eminent names in New England.— Evansvillc Journal.

I have just come through a political contest in which I have had a fierce war with Abolitionism, but on both sides of the river the'Democratic flag still waves in triumph. Abolitionism has received its death blow. Pure Democratic principles the principles of the Constitution and of the Union are in the ascendant, and will remain sj^for years to}, come.

Wc do not rejoicc in the misfortunes of other'free States which have deserted the Democratic banner in a Presidential election. In our State the principles of popu-lar1'sovereignt}-—the right of the people everywhere to form aud regulate their domestic institutions to suit themselves, has bceu vindicated. Iu Illinois,, the Copstitutio'ri a^thc supreme law of the land, has been vindicated. There we hold that the rights of each sovereign State, whether it be free or whether it bo slave, are to be protected with equal vigor and fidelity Indie constituted authorities. (Cheers.)— Our fathers made this government, divided into free and slave States, each having a sovereign power to regulate its domestic institutions to suit itself. We intend to maintain that Constitution and those sovereign rights of the States, old and new, as our fathers made them. (Cheers.) If you in Missouri will just take care of your own negroes, manage your own affairs, regulate your own domestic concerns to suit yourselves, and while minding your own business, let your neighbors alone, you will be at peace with the whole world "and the rest of mankind." [Applaise.] We in Illinois have done that very thing. We first, while a Territory, adopted slavery, maintained it twelve years, and then finding we could make 110 money out of if, it. was not profitable in our climate, it was not good for us and our posterity, and we abolished slavery, as wc had a right to do. You in Missouri just follow our example, by doing just as you please. If you want it, have it if you do not want it, abolish it it is your business, not ours. [Applause.] Having dccided our institutions to suit ourselves, we have performed our whole duty under the Constitution, and now we recognize the right of every other State to do the same thing, without interference from any quarter whatsoever.

Now, my friends, if these great principles, of State rights and State sovereignty are regarded, there is 110 reason why the North and the South, the East and the West, shall not be friends of a common Confederacy. Let these great principles be guarded, and our political system is susceptible of indefinite expansion. Wc can then add to our Republic steadily, slowly gradually, and'just as far as needed, Mexico, Cuba, and all the adjoining country and adjacent islands, without endangering tho confederacy.

HOW THK ENGLISH TREAT.THE BENag"~ GAtESE. ~T~ v~" ^An,American who visited British India ulsu^^rgo's^clerk somb years ago tlids describes the brutal manner in which the English and Americans there treated the natives employed under them:

On iny arrival.I.-'wads initiated in to the mode of living in that city, by another clerk, whose duties were similar to my own, and one day when we were together in the godowns, or warerooms, attended by a number of servants, I asked him how he managed to make himself understood by them in reply, he shouted to one of them in English mixed with Hindoostance, and when the poor creature failed to. understand the gibberish, lie seized him with great quickness by the shoulder, turned him quite round, and" saluted his breechcloth with such a kick as knocked him right up against the boxes of cotton drill-ings-ranged against the walls, and in this way" I obtained my first lesson in managing Bengalese.

At another time standing in the streets, I saw. an Englishman get'out of his palanvuin and with a stout stick knock down both his head bearers, the leaders of his team,"who, it appeared, had turned the wrong corner of the street. Again, I had cause to complain to the supercargo of the head'earperi'ter, or Mcestree, who was engaged in. fastening the cases of shellac, when, without uttering a syllabic, he took Ins riding whip and gay.e the man a sevore flogging. Now, in these instances, and in all cases, the natives bore it uncomplainingly in the carpenter's case however, matters looked threatening enough, for he retired behind a.Jdoor, and, with his arms folded on his trcast, brooded over the outrage all-day long.

UF.AF.XESS CUKEDBY ELECTRICITY. The Alton (Pa.) Tribune notices a remarkable cure of deafness by electricity.— A citizen of that place suddenlj' lost his hearing, and after every means known to the medical fraternity had been exhausted, electricity, was resorted, to. An instrument'wa's'produced, and placing the end otlar piece of wire in each car, the electric current was let on lightly at first, and gradually increased. After continuing the operation for some time, the hearing of Hie man was so much restored that lie could hear a heavy rap upon the table. Again the wires were inserted in his ears and the fluid applied. 'On removing them the second time, the patient could hear loud talking in the room. This operation took place in the afternoon, and the patient was then allowed to rest till the next morning, when the wires were again inserted, and irt

plying the fluid for a few minutes,

the hearing was perfectly restored.

JIHCI! A K!J SKKVKTI S.

Tn 1563, Michael Scrvelus was arrestee! in Geneva and condemned by the Syndics for teaching pernicious doctrines. The principal blasphemies imputed to him were the denial of the Trinifj. predestination and toial depravity, lie was not, however, a Socinian, but taught that-Jesus Christ was the incarnate Deity, sole and supreme in all worlds, very God in his divinity, yet approaching and meditating with humanity, through which lie imparted to mankind the Holy Spirit with its virtues and graces.— He suffered at the stake according to the sentence of the Syndics, and his books, scientific as well as theological, were burned with him. This was a misfortune, for he had anticipated many of the discoveries of science. He was the first who taught the circulation of the blood.

The following is the sentence pronounced and executed against him: J. '•Sentence of DeaJh passed ujmt. Michacl ScructHS, hi/ the S'/ndics of Geneva on the 27th of Oc^., 1503.

A SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE PROPOSED NEW TERRITORIAL POLFCY. Our readers are aware that the Richmond Enquirer has recently announced that."Virginia and the South" will demand Congressional protection for slavery in the Territories—a doctrine to which the Washington Union has given a quasi endorsement. Commenting on this new doctrine the Lexington (Ky.) Statesman, a sound Democratic paper, has tho following well timed remarks "A more dangerous heresy (says the Statesman) could not be originated than is here put forth as a Southern ultimatum by iiiQ.Enquirer. No position could be assumed by the South more empty, useless, and false, and none fraught with more alarming disaster. No principle could be inserted in the Democratic creed more inconsistent with the truths it has heretofore and now embodies, and none which would more certainly undermine the strength of the "party. No Legislation would be so impolitic and useless, and none so surc to subvert the Union

THE NEGROES SEXT !5A(K TO A T-'Iil-CA RY THE S. S3II1* NJAGAR\. The London Times has a letter from St. Vincent, Cape do Verds, stating that the Niagara put in there 0:1 the 22d of October. It appears that of the 271 which the Niagara took cm board at Charleston, 57 died before the ship reached the Cape de Verd Islands. Dr. Ranney, the agent, describes thc condition of the negroes as follows:

They are extremely filthy, and much prefer nudity to dress. Wo have adopted the plan of having a large hose turned 011 them twice per week, with strong men at the engine. They appear well enough satisfied with the bath, but cannot, even by the lash, which wc arc compelled to employ frec'ly, be made to observe anj" other sanitary or decent habit. It requires a good large crew of men to keep thc spar deck, where the}* are located, clean. When clothing was put 011 them in Charleston, of which the negro slaves in the city contributed several dray loads, they immediately tore it off, and rolled in the sand and basked in the sun.

I know but few cases in which they mani-j fest any sympathy for one another, except to help sciatch each other's "backs. They gave 110 attention or sympathy whatsoever to the sick and dying. When one is dead the body may lie for hours a^ong them in immediate contact, yet unnoticed. But as soon as the soul has fled, they steal the blanket of the deceased, and most unceremoniously proceed to appropriate his bread spoon and bag. During the proccss of burial they never manifested the slightest concern. A more stolid, brutalized, pitiable set of beings I never beheld.

All of them take medicine without a word of objection, vet whenever one sickens he is almost certain to die. We found them with scurvy, diarrhoea, and opthalmia, and relieved very much of the former and latter. They now have also catarrh, influenza, scurvy, and chronic diarrbcea. hafe given them all the aid that money, liberally expended and directed by intelligent Christian sympathies, could dictate. But they are a set of poor, miserable beings, who will probably soon relapse into their old state. I am satisfied that they would have been much happier as slaves in America but the curse would be upon us, for slavery always operates far more disadvantagcouslyon the white owners than on the negroes themselves.

If any people in the world ever

needed an apostle to cast their devils out,

"It is an idle abstraction as empty of substantial advantages as it is false in theory. The South can gain nothing by.it.— Congressional legislation, if so employed, cannot extend slavery. The institution can not be expanded by such aids. It can never be forced upon an unwilling people. Besides there arc no Territories in which Congress will ever be called upou to exert the power if conceded. Kansas is the only contested field whereon free and slave labor will ever come in conflict. Hence the sputli has no practical use for such intervention. It can never be exercised to our advantage. But it can be 'used with crushing force by our opponents. A licpublican Congress and administration might employ the power of intervention thus conceded to Congress to the exclusion of slavery in southern Territories now held or hereafter acquired. The Democratic party hold to the doctrine of non-intervention, and deny to Congress power to interfere in the domestic affairs of the Territories cither to abolish, introduce, or protect slavery. Intervention for one purpose concedes the right of intervention for auofher if Congress can protect it can introduce if it can introduce it can exclude. Would the South insist upon a power i:i Congress which can never be exerted to.her advantage, while it may be used to lier manifest detriment? "The insertion of the doctrine insisted 011 by the Enquirer, in the Douglas platform, would be a plain abandonment of the cardinal and fundamental principle upon which the slavery question has been adjusted. Non-intervention is the corner stone of the present settlement, the leading feature of all the legislation on the subject for ten \-ears past, the foundation of the compromise of 1850, the vital essence of the Kansas act, the highest achievement of the Cincinnati platform.— It is the great distinguishing idea of the Democratic organization which marks ihc division of parties. The Republicans hold the Enquirer's doct ine. They maintain to Congress tho power insisted upon by the Enquirer—the only difference is the Re-1 publicans say the power should be used for one purpose, the Enquirrr for another —a question of policy merely. We trust that the Southern press will, with one voice, repudiate this monstrous heresy.— The Democratic party would not have a member in a free State the da}* after its enunciation, and would deserve none. We think, with the Enquirer, the question ought not to be compromised. The doctrine should be spurned."

AN IMPOSTER. IW

A roan calling himself W. H. Thoraber^f ry is traveling through the State repredenting himselfas an Odd Fellow and.by plausible but false representation is soliciting aid from the various Lodges and members. He victimized the charitably dis-J posed oitizena of Crawfordsville, Fortf Wayne and Lafayette, last week to thei amount of nearly $100, which he secured,, under the pretence that his family was in" a suffering condition at Indianapolis. We saw him on the.streets of this city last Saturday—both eyes in mourning, and other unmistakable evidences of a hard spree. j-'}."" '1' 'ill*
