S&~ Some few of the members of the Legislature who signed the invitation to the members of the Ohio Legislature to visit them at Indianapolis, have backed out. From a close calculation the spree would cost the State several thousand dollars. When w£ take into consideration, that the legislature refused to pass an act providing for the publication of the laws containing emergency clauses in one paper in each county in the State, on the plea of economy, it seems strange that these same men should be so willing to squander thousands of dollars in entertaining the Legislature of Ohio. Let the tax payers think of this matter. It is time that economy should be practiced.

All needful legislation could hr.vo been done in thirty days. No wonder there is a growl of discontent among the tax payers, who will, in the end, have to foot the bill of the grand splurge which is to put money into the pockets of Indianapolis landlords and saloon keepers.

TOE DIVISIONS OP THE DEMOCRACY —HOW TO HEAL THEM.

The Washington States, in expatiating, few days ago,

00

the divisions and distrac­

tions of the Democracy, stated its purpose was to impress the party with the necessi ty of immediate organization for the con test in 1860. It is obvious and undenia blc that cxcept our scattered forces he ral lied, and a plan of action be agreed upon we can not hope to, survive the struggle before us.

To the end, therefore, of union and harmony among the Democracy, we have to suggest the cultivation of a more tolerant and fraternal feeling than has prevailed since the advent of the present Adminis tration. Without imputing blame to cith' cr party—it is no time for recrimination— we are free to confess that neither the Le compton nor the anti-Lecompton faction have manifested sufficient forbearance of cach other's peculiarities of opinion. Nor have the Administration been as indulgent of casual eccentricities among their ad hcrents as they might have afforded, con sidcring their solid strength with the coun y. On the other hand, we have lament od the excessive irritability of those who were thrown into momentary resistance to the policy of the President. Let there be an end of these jelousies and rcsentmcuts The Lecoinpton question is an extinct is sue. With wise men the past is of use only as it affords lessons for the direction of their future conduct. Let us then revert to the animosities of the Kansas controversy for no other purpose than to be admonished of the necessity for greater conciliation hereafter. With the expiration of obsolete issues, let the unamiable feelings with which they are associated be likewise buried in oblivion. Let us cast no look behind, but press forward for the prize of victory with the admirable zeal and energy hitherto characteristic of the Democracy.

Another indispensable condition'to the organization of the party is the recognition of a leader. By the voice of the people Mr. BUCHANAN has been chosen as the rcpresetative man of the Democracy. We have burdened him with the responsibil ities of power, and we owe him a generous support in the conduct of the Government. Not that we should approve every measure of his Administration, nor even bo silent when we dissent from his policy. We mean only to inculcatc among Democrats the duty of exhibiting the most indulgent spirit which their conscientious convictions will allow. Prompt to applaud and reluctant to condemn, should be the disposition of every Democrat toward a Democratic Executive. On the other hand, it is obligatory upon the President to be tolerant of immaterial differences among his followers. If they support his policy in the main, he can require nothing more. If they are obliged by a sense of duty to oppose his Administration 011 a particular point, he should rcspp.nt. thoir wmoorify mul applaud their independence. To exact a rigid conformity to his own standard of opinion, would be an excess of tyranny incompatible with the spirit of Democratic faitli and practice. The utmost obligation of the party to the President, is to give him the benefit of a friendly partaility. 'J he engagement is reciprocal and it is incumbent on him to be indulgent to the errors of individual judgment.

It is csential, in the third place, to the effective organization of the party, that Democrats should be united b}- some common bond of principle. Rut this condition is impracticable, if equal importance is to be attached to every articlc of belief, and if suprious test maybe incorporated in our confession of faith, at the pleasure of auy presumptuous commentator. The dogmatic doctrine of the party is expounded in the Cincinnati Platform, and wc deny authority to the President or any other person to enlarge its basis of principle by the addition of a single issue. In the interpretation of the text of our creed, we claim the utmost independence of individual judgment otherwise the conscience of members will be constrained by the dictation of an irresponsible authority. The President himself is the creature of the party and as he can deduct nothing from its declaration of doctrine, so neither can he interpolate so much as a solitary syllable into its platform of principle. Upon that platform he stands 011 a level with every other Democrat, and is equally responsible to the representative power of the party—the National Convention. arc persuaded, if these suggestions arc heeded, the organization of the Democratic party may be restored to its original strength and soundness.

tolerance of individual opinion, and a cordial combination on the basis of fundamental principle without regard to superfluous and non-essential issues—these are the only indispensible conditions of union and harmony in the Democratic party.

WASHIHGTOIV TERRITORY CORRESPONDENCE. CLAQTUTO, Lewis County, W. T.,

Dec. 12th, 1858.

FRIEND BOWE*:—Yourpaper has finally reached me and with pleasure I hail it as an old and familiar friend and acquaintance of Crawfordsville, and to confc3s the truth it made me a little home sick. It reminded me of the many friends^ and the many dear associations I had left there bat it reminded me, too, of the depression of business, hard times, scarcity of money and like one of old, I concluded it was well for me to be here—here amidst these beau tiful prairies and majestic forests—in a country although new, where labor is well paid, work plenty, money plenty, everything else plenty, and very healthy no banks, no credit system, plenty of the best of land awaiting some one to develop its unrivaled richncss. This is the country for every homeless and landless man, for if he is industrious lie soon will have an abundance of the necessaries of life about him and I will add it is the best country in the whole range of my acquaintance for a lazy man, for he soon can learn to live as the natives do and to work would be unnecessaay.

Thus far the weather is somewhat rainy, but never raining very hard nor long at a time—somo little snow on the ground now, but not cold—and never is cold enough to freeze potatoes in tlic ground where they grow, and seldom freezes out the oats.— On the prairie a piece of ground has yield ed a good volunteer crop of potatoes ever since 1852, and on the same farm oats has yielded some three or four crops of from 50 to SO bushels per acre from once sow ing the seed. Wheat frequently yields from 30 to GO bushels per acre and the land does not require to be ploughed and sown more than about every third year.— It can be sown with nearly equal success from September to May, and will not fall and waste when ripe, but stand up and commence a new crop on the ground and grow in the head as soon as the rains set in. Thus, farmers here, can sow grain ibout one half of the year and harvest at their leisure the other half. The grain is fine and largo, weighing more per bushel than it docs in Montgomery couuty. For agricultural purposes this is an excellent country for all grains cxcept corn, the nights arc too cool for it, yet some is raised. Stock of all kinds does well. Teams are fed all the time, but other stock is only fed a few weeks and some is never fed at all.

No country on earth can boast of so extensive and beautiful an inland sea as this. Neither shoals nor rocks obstruct navigation where ships of the largest size can afely sail. Romantic headlands and sloping shore.-!, clothed with a den.-c forest of fir and cedar almost entirely in a state of 1 nature, save an occasional spot where a

is cngnged.in cutting into lumber tiiose cry till trees, a majority* of them being ul into boards 250 feet. One mill alone employs vOO men in its various departments on sea and on land and another employs three large ships in carrying lumber to China and the islands. The govrnmeiit of Great Britain has a large contract with parties here for masts, spars, lumber, &c., to go to England. The forest is an inexhaustible source of wealth to this young territory. It is astonishing the number and size of trees growing 011 an acre of ground.

On the streams arc numerous mill sites, and the waters are very well supplied with the finest of fish. Salmon very plenty and unequulcd in excellence, often weighing fifteen pounds spotted trout of the mountain streams of tho eastern States, and many other kinds. Game plenty—deer, elk, bears, panthers, cougars and California lions—wolves are very scarcc. These panthers are rather ugly customers. Many have been killed measuring from 8 to 12 feet long. They destroy sonic stock, but never attack mon. From personal cxperi ence I can saj- that their screams are not a very fine serenade, nor well calculated to soothe one to sleep.

The country is quite a mixture of good and poor land—prairie and timber—but a large part of it is very* heavily timbered. The prairies are generally small, about large enough for a neighborhood and are generally all settled. The country in the vicinity of the coast and sound is rather stony for agricultural purposes, but seems to do very well for grazing. Further inland the country is decidcdly good and good situations to make farms are plenty, but as the best prairie locations arc taken the river bottoms come next. They are generally thickly covercd with brush, which, when cut down and let remain two or three months on the ground, then burned off, a good crop of grain can be raised on it sufficient to pay all the expense of clearing and fcncing and that without plowing. The Indian war a few years ago checked the prosperity of the country, from which it has not fully recovered yet.

Next summer a large emigration is expected by way of the plains. We expect farmers to come here and buy out the improvements on Cowlitz river, owned by the Frcnch half bre^d-5. Lands seem to have no other value attached to theui only the cost of improvements. From $3 to $5 per acre you can buy very good farms.

The price of labor I think higher, proportionately, than other things. Mechanics get from $3 to $G per day and board, and farm hands get $50 per month and board. Wheat $2 per bushel and seldom less oats 75 potatoes 75 meat3 are dear: beef on foot 8, 10 and 12 cents per pound:

potk-$10 *nd $12 per lOO poond groceries about 20 per cent, higher than in Indiana dry goods clothing, :&c., not much higher than there hardwire, tools, &c., can be got at fair pricesT- Fruit does well here: some orchards are beginning to hear and soon wc will have plenty. Society is good for so new a country. We have plenty of good backwoods preaching, which if rot as eloquent as some others, has the merit of honesty, and is not done for the hide and tallow entirely.

Adieu for the present, friend Rowen.— You may make what use you please of this, and, if desirable, you may hear from me again after I become acquainted with other parts of this country.,

Rcstpcctfully, yours, &c., J. D. CLINGER.

MANSFIELD'S LIQUOR BILL. As this bill has passed the House of Representatives and is likely to be received with favor by the Senate, we give a brief S3Tnopsis of it.

It is entitled—"A bill to liccnse, regulate and restrain the use of spirituous, vinous, malt and intoxicating liquors to prevent drunkenness and crime, and to repeal all former laws conflicting with its provisions."

It provides that no person shall sell or barter, directly or indirectly, any intoxicating liquors without first obtaining a license from the County Commissioners.

To obtain license the person applying must give notice iu some weekly newspaper, if one is published in the county, stating the precise location in Avliich he is to sell, at least twenty days before the meeting of the Board to which his application is made, and it shall be the privilege of any inhabitant of said township to remonstrate against the granting of said liccnse on account of immorality or other unfitness

The Board of County Commissioners may then grant liccnse, after his giving bond with two good freehold securities residing iu the county, in the sum of five hundred dollars, to be filed with the County Auditor, conditioned that all fines assessed for violations of the act be paid.

The applicant is required to pay to the Treasurer of the county a sum not less than $20 nor more than $1,000, to be determined by the Board of County Commissioners as a fee for liccnse for one year.— When any amount is paid to any incorporated city or town for license, such ainoun is to be deducted from the amount required by County Commissioners.

All amounts received for liccnse go to the common school fund of the county where paid.

The County Auditor is to issue the license when the applicant produces the order of the Board and the receipt of the Treasurer.

No license to be granted for a longer time than one year. No liquors to be sold on Sunday—to a minor—to a person in a state of intoxication—to any female—nor upon the day of any State, coui^- or municipal election.

Section 8, as amended, we give in the language of the bill: "Every person who shall, by himself or ager.t, directly or indirectly, knowingly sell, barter or give awav, any spirituous or intoxicating liquors to any person who i:

steam mill of generally gigantic capacities in tiie habit of being intoxicated, after no-

ticc chilli have been irivon him by ine wire, child, parent, brother or sister of such last named person, or by tho overseer or overseers of the poor of the township where lie resides, that such person is in the habit of being intoxicated, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof be fined not less than five nor more than fifty dollars."

Any person selling in less quantity than a quart, and allowing to be drank on his premises any liquor, shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not less than $5 nor more than $100, and imprisonment for three months may bo added.

For selling or giving to a minor or intoxicated person the penalty is the same. For adulterating, or selling adulterated liquors the fine' is from $50 to $500, and imprisonment fur six months may be added.

Any house whore liquor is sold, kept in a disorderly manner, shall be deemed common nuisance, and the keeper, upon conviction, 111a}'be fined from $50 to S2U0, and imprisonment for three months may be added..

The Court of Common Pleas and Circuit Court shall have concurrent jurisdiction for violations of this act, and it is made the duty- of grand juries to take cognizance of offences under it.

Justices of the Pcacc shall have jurisdiction within their respective townships, and may recognize offenders to Court, when in their opinion the fine should exceed $25.

Druggists can sell in any quantity for medicinal purposes and the manufacture of wine and cider, from fruits grown by the manufacturer arc exempt from the provisions of the act.

It is made the duty of the City or District Attorney to prosecute the violators of the act, and

011

his failure or neglect to

perform that duty, any other attorney may attend to the same. All laws coining in conflict with the provisions of the act are repealed, and an

A THRILLING REVOLUTIONARY I.NCIKENT. —Mr. J. T. Ileadley is publishing in a New York weekly religious paper "The Dairy of a Chaplain in the Army of the Revolution." From it we extract the following:

At the battle of Bunker Hill, as the British were advancing through Charlestown to the attack, a soldier entered a house where the husband lay sick. His wife was young and beautiful,"and hearing the soldier in the room, went out to meet him. He immediately addressed insulting proposals to her. Being angrily repulsed, he attempted violence, when her screams aroused the sick husband from his bed. Nerved with the sudden excitement, he leaped up, and seeing his wife struggling in the arms of a British solder, ran him through the body. The man fell back on the floor, and as his eye met that of his destroyer, he shrieked out "My brother!" The recognition was mutual, and with the exclamation "I have murdered my brother!" the over excited husband fell dead on the corpse. The unhappy brothers were Scotchmen. One had emigrated to America several years before, tho other had joined the English army, and after a long separation they thus met to perish together.

SFURGEOlf ON ENGLAND'S CHRISTIAN WARS.

The Rev. lb*. Spurgeon recently detivlivercd a lecture in London on the propagation of the Gospel, and from a report of it in the London Star, wc make the following extract: "As to the propagation of the Gospel abroad, ah, how gloomy was the prospect. One thing he never could bear or tolerate, and that was the argument used whenever England went to war—'it was a providential opening for the Gospel.' For his own part, he could make way for Ohrist. What was war, but the incarnation of all that was wicked and fiendish. To 'cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war,' and then say it was to make straight a highway, knee deep in human gore, for the truth of the Lord, was a monstrosity. (Cheers.)— God assuredly did evolve good out of evil but lie confessed lie could not sec how war ever made a way for Christianity. (Loud cheers.) Let any other nation go to war if it choose, and if England then sent missionaries, all well she was not then accountable for the devastation, not having caused it but for an English cannon to make way at Canton for an English missionary, was a falsehood too glaring for him to believe. (Cheers.) He could not, he confessed, make it out. If other nations would go to war, let them but he blushed for his countrymen when he saw crimes committed in China—for what was the opium traffic but a crime—an enormous crimc, out of which a war arose, regarded as means by which the Gospel was to be forwarded. If lie (the lecturer) where a Chinaman lie would assuredly ask the missionaries what this Christianity was like was it anything of the opium sort? It was not this sort of preparation that foreign countries required for the propagation of the faith they must learn to feel and believe that faith they must learn to feel and believe that England loved peace, that the English nation did not delight in blood, and that its only desire was—in return for the liberty with which God had blessed it—to maintain that liberty abroad and that if the lion was sometimes roused, it was bound to defend liberty but not a growl should be heard for anything else. If the world believed that, England would be everywhere deemed the defender of the liberties of the racc but whatever they did, let them put an end to this doctrine of "opening up" places to missions."

"On a sunny morning of tho first day of the second week of my sojourn here, 1 rcpicsted my young fellow-lodger at the St. Nicholas to conduct me to one of the numerous sanctuaries.

the others, and the whole party commenced a terrific struggle for the supremacy in the final fugue. The contest was exciting, and the result doubtful for a few moments, but at last the soprano was victorious, ending with a tremendous thrill, which entirely silenccd her antagonists. I lifted my hands to applaud, but was checked by my friend, who informed me that, however delighted I might be with the performances, I must not express my gratification in the same way that I would at the Academy of Music. Though this distinction seemed to be rather nicely drawn, I of course yielded to the suggestions of bis experience."

the Gazette savs, applied to several of the churches to allow the firoeral services to be performed by their pastors. They were refused. They applied to others and were refused. They went to every church in the city, and were refused, by every one, except the First Universalist, the pastor of which consented readily to do the required duty. A large number of the sisterhood were present on the occasion, (last Saturday,) and the preacher improved the opportunity to give them a sermon addressed right to their own lives and its awful evils, which, to say the least, was far more likely to do them good than the cold refusal of the other churches to even recognise' their humanity. If the Gazette's, statement be correct, (and it is confirmed by the Commercial,) and thero was no special cause of objection, nothing but the character of the deceased, wc cannot think the action of the churches as nearly correspondent with that of their Master, who once told another of the same sisterhood to "go and sin no more," as it might have been. And we doubt if the preachers who refused to minister at the funeral have done as much good by their fear of contamination, as lie has done who took advantage of the time and the circumstances to utter a cry of warning to those who probably were never before so well situated to bo impressed with the sins of their career, or to see the beauties of a life of purity. Funeral services arc for the living, not tho dead—for those who may lcaru from tho virtues or criincs of the dead—and such a refusal as that in question is virtually a refusal to use a rare opportunity to reach the hearts of the vilest sinners 011 earth.— It may be right, but it looks to us very like a sort of uncharitable prudery that is hardly more acceptable in Heaven than the sins born of passion or want that the dead girl was condcn:ned for.—Indiana State Journal.

FROM THE GOLD MINES.

LETTER FROM A MAN WHO MADE NEARLY A

THOUSAND DOLLARS A WEEK.

General Eastin has handed us the following letter, for the reliability of which he stands responsible. If true, it makes the gold district a perfect bed of gold.— We give the letter without further comments:

December 29, 1858.

DEAR GENERAL:—I arrived at Leavenworth City yesterday, and as everybody is contributing to your paper something from Cherry Creek gold diggings, I thought I would tell you what I did while I was there.

I arrived on the 20th of August, and prospected through the country for some time, and at last struck a vein about twen-ty-nine and a half miles south of Cherry Creek, that in richness exceeds anything that had been discovered. I dug out of this vein, in twenty-five days, $3,000 worth of gold, and the vein did not seem to be exhausted in any degree.

Yours truly, JOHN HARTMAN. ———<>———

THE TERRITORY OF JEFFERSON. The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier says:

I stated in a previous letter that I had understood that one of the principal bank-

rangements to open an agcncy at the Pike's Peak gold mines, for the purpose of purchasing gold and carrying on a general banking and exchange business. The arrangements, I learn, have been completed, and E. II. Taylor, Jr., Esq., formerly of Lexington, Kentucky, has been tendered the management of the establishment.— From the universal cxcitement prevailing in regard to the mines, I think I underestimated when I stated that probably fifty thousand persons would emigrate to them during the present season. From all tho information I can gather, I do not think there will be less than one hundred thousand, and some believe there will be from two to three hundred thousand. The appointment of Major Mason, of Kentucky, as (rovernor, (which it is unanimously conceded will be made) will be at once recognized as the very best that could be made

I have no doubt his appointment will
