The Adams' Circuit Court, has been in session this week. There has been considerable interest manifested. The Grand Jury have found several bills, during the session, but in what cases we have not learned. Os the state cases: the State vs. McGriff, for passing counterfeit money, was disposed of on Wednesday, and resulted in an acqnital. The case was ably argued on both sides, Messrs. Stoughton and Ninde for the State, and Messrs. Jenkinson and Studabaker in behnlf of the defendant. Several other cases of minor importance have been disposed of. The newly appointed Judge, Hon. R. J. Dawson, presides with much dignity and marked ability. II — A Truth.

Render, do you know where to buy goods at the cheapest rates? Do you wish to know where to buy the best '■mods” * D Do you wish to know a simple rule, by which to be always able to tell the best place to buy goods? Then be attentive «uu JVrti u. Always go to the man who is anxious to let you know that he has goods to sell, and for this purpose advertises his waits in the papers. The man who won’t advertise, either has not “ Vim” enough to do business, or, he will take advantage of you if he can. Then take our advice, and when you want to buy anything, look in the papers, and buy of the man who advertises; and you may rest assured he will not take advantage of you. The business man who gives his money, that he may gain your patronage, will never loose it by any act of his; but on the contrary, if he considers that patronage worth advertising for, it is a proof sufficient to satisfy the most incredulous that he will do all in his power to retain that patronage. e would inform those of our readers, who stand in need of wagons, carriages, buggies, Sulkies, <fcc„ that they can obtain all the information necessary, as to where would be the cheapest place »o purchase such articles, by reading the advertisement of John Bowers in another column of to-days paper.

Interesting Correspondence—-The Democratic Candidates and the Wallace Resolution. The following correspondence passed between the Democratic candidates and the editors of the ‘ Valks-platt,' the German Democratic paper published at Indianapolis: Ibdianapolis, Jan. 18, 1858. Mr Dear Sir:—ln the last Democratic Convention you, together with others, were nominated as standard bearers of the Democratic party and champtons of Democratic principles. You are certainly aware that in the Convention, and also in the minds of the people, the Kansas question, or rather the construction of the doctrine of popular sovereignty, as applied to Kansas, was the great subject of contention: The Convention passed the following resolution: ‘Resolved, That we are still in favor of the great doctrine of the Kansas Nebraska bill;and that by apractical application of that doctrine the people of a Slate or of a Territory are vested with the right of ratifying or rejecting at the ballot-box any Constitution that may be formed for their government; and that hereafter no Territory should be admitted into the Union as a State without a fair expressjion of the will of the people being first had I upon the Constitution accompanying the : application for admission.’ ; Now, as we understand that resolution, 'and as understood by the great majority 'of those who voted for it, the meaning thereof was: That neither Kansas nor any other territory ought to be admitted into the Union unless its Constitution had first been submitted fir ratification or rejection to the people. We regret, however, to be informed that the resolution in question receives a 1 different construction, not only from our 1 opponents, but also from Democrats. Il ■is claimed that because the word 'hereafter' is used, and the case of Kansas is pending now, that it has no reference to Kansas whatever, and that the same may with our approval be admitted into the union with a constitution opposed by a majority of its inhabitants.

■ Under these circumstances we feel that we owe it to the character which our paper has always sustained for honesty and fairness, and to our thousands of readers that have honored our paper with j perhaps a greater reliance on its state- , ments than the reoders of any other paper, to dispel any doubt or equivocation | on this subject. We have mantained the doctrine of popi ular sovereignty, during the last hard i fought contest, in its broadest construction. We have in this last phase of the Kansas question contented that neither tlw T nnnrontnn Constitution nor anv pth’er ought to be forced upon tne people of j Kansas against their Will or without their ' ratification, ; We cannot conscientiously or consistently with honor and principle, support even a Democratic candidate that puts another construction upon the doctrine of popular sovereignty. And since there is a difleienceof opinion as to the construction of i the resolution adopted by our convention I we do not wish to assure our readers that in voting for our candidates they vote for our and their construction and principle, without being assured that we do so justly, honestly and correctly. We, therefore, respectfully request you to inform us, at as early a period as i possible, whether your construction of the resolution adopted at the last convention coincides with ours or not, that we nay i place your views before our readers, and give you that cheerful, hearty and earnest support which we cannot give while any doubt cripples our energies. Julius Bcettcher, Ad. SeIDENBTICKER. Indianapolis, Jan. 22, 1858. Editors of Volksplatt:— Gentlemen:—Tour inquiry, addressed to the undersigned, sepaiately, dated on the 18th inst., is now before us. As we do not differ among ourselves relative to the answer that should be given to the question propounded, we take the liberty :of joining in that answer. Your request is to inform you what construction we give to a portion of the platform of principles adopted by the Democratic Convention which did us the honor to put us in nomination as candidates to fill the several officers for which we are now before . the people. The resolution upon which i you base your inquiry, as published, is as follows. [The resolution in the above letter follows, and they continue: ] Promising that, after careful consideration, every portion of the platform receives, as it deserves, our earnest and heaity approval, we would say that the first part of the above resolution but re' affirms and reasserts a great principle upon which our political institutions rest, namely, that ‘governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,’ and ‘so forming and organizing their powers as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.’ The latter part of the resolution, it is obvious to us, is in reference to the application of that principle in each case as it may arrise; that it is to say, that there should be ‘a fair expression of the wifi of the people first had upon the constitution under which they are to live.’ A literal and proper construction of the resolution would, after the time of its adoption, em- i brace the application of every territory seeking admission into the Union as a State, and wouls be binding in one a«

another application, without regard to whetlier-it were made by Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, Nebraska, Washington, Utah or a Territory by any other name. Daniel McClue, Samuel E.

Newspapers as ‘‘Comforters * Many a man has gone to sleep over a newspaper without exciting remark; sleeping with a newspaper over him is quite a different matter —and when it was first proposed that coverlets should be made of newspapers, naturally a great deal of discussion grew out of it. In all thia d iscussion it is worthy of notice that positively nothing has been said as to the kind of newspapers best suited to the purpose. For instance: Think of going to sleep with news from the four quarters of the Globe piled on your uneoncious bosom! Or, worse than that, under the weight of one of the heaviest of oui political Dailies! It gives one the nightmare to think of it. Pleasant Dreams—with a ‘horrible bloody murder’ breeding over you! Swept sleep—with a religious controversy going on in the same bed with your Repose with a complaining poet for your comforter! Oh Moses! One would naturally suppose that a Black Republican neswpaper would be warmest, as having the most wool in it—- ' but cotton enters largely into the composition of the old-fashioned comforter, and there is more cotton in one anti-tariff paper than there is of wool in a dozen Republican papers. This matter should be experienced on. Again: There can be no doubt in a well-balanced mind, that a great amount of consideration should be given to the soothing effects likely to be produced by a proper selection of newspapers. There is no greater sleep provoker than your longwinded conservative paper—the dry-nurse of some party in its dotage, or duenna of a fresh young one. Well conducted experiments in this matter might develop a plan by which ever-awakeful infants could be instantaneously tranquilized, and thrown into a pleasant slumber, by having a copy of some conservative Daily thrown over when their ‘tantrums come on’—and thus the whole paregorieal dispensation be superseded, abolished and I done away with, and every squalling brat ' he turned into a first-class angel of cherui bie innocence and loveliness.

Any one can see with half an eye that an Agricultural paper wouldn’tdoat all; as who could sleep with guano around him, and a prize corn-field resting on his breast, to say nothing of the manifest impropriety of such raA--ish associations, or the ‘borrow ing reflections’ likely to prise therefrom. Xi ...... ».>,.1,1 nn.-lcv />P ‘literary’ weeklies—e. g., (he New York Ledger—without being a fa/e-beaier, else (hey might make the best of coverlets, as they have the requisite somnolent qualities, without the least weight. Much more might be said on this subject, but we have said enough to indicate a course oi reasoning which any one investigating this subject will do so well to adopt.— Columbus GazetteHow it is Construed by the Candidates on the Democratic State Ticket. The State Sentinel, speaking of the popular sovereignty resolution adopted by the Democratic State Convention, says: We learn that the candidates upon the State ticket, in reply to interrogatories addressed to them upon their interpretation of that resolution, have answered that its application was intended to include Kansas, as well as all other Territories of the Union. This declaration of the nominees of the Bth of January Convention, as to their understanding of the platform on which they were nominated, ought to-be satisfactory, and to close all controversy on the subject of the true meaning of ‘the Wallace resolution.’ There is no difference of opinion amongst the Democracy of Indiana as to the proper construction to be given to the resolution last adopted. All agree to receive it as it was intended by its author and by those who voted for it—as applying to Kansas The truth is the number of Democrats in Indiana who favor the bringing of Kansas into the Union in opposition to the will of the people, and with a constitution which they despise, is very small in number.—Black Republicans may hang their harps upon the willow. The capital which they expected to operate upon in the coming canvass has vanished into thin air.

From California ami Oregon. New York, Jan. 27. The Moses Taylor from Aspinwall, with California mails to January Sth arrived this evening, with specie to the amount of 81,555,000. The State Leg-1 islature met on the 4tb. Gov. Weller will probably recommend the taxation of mining claims, and the question will probably occupy more time than any other, and will probably lead to a serious quarrel in the Democratic party. There was an Anti-Mormon meeting in Los Angelos on the 9th and they addressed a memorial to General Clark, in command of the Pacific Division, prayin.r him to send 500 soldiers down to their country for their protection. The official vote of Oregon was 5000: against slavery, 4000 in saver of the constitution, and 7500 against the admission of free negroes. Gaines, the former governor of Oregon is dead.

Congressional News. Washington, Feb. 2. Senate—A message was received from the President of the United States, by the hand of his private secretary, transmitting a copy of the Lecompton constitution, and communicating the views of the President thereupon; which was read. The reading having been concluded. Mr. BIGLER said he did not rise for the purpose of debating the subjects referred to in the message, but merely to submit a motion that it be referred to the Committee on Territories and printed. Mr. TRUMBULL was unwilling to let this paper pass from the consideration of the Senate without some remark. He then proceeded to denounce the statements contained in the message as a perverted and incorrect history from beginning to end of the difficulties in Kansas, and also arrainged the President for inconsistency. He spoke at considerable length, in the course of his remaks attacking the prnciples of the Nebraska bill, and commenting on all the various mattersand question at issue in reference to Kansas affairs. Mr. DOUGLAS said that he should reserve any reply which he might have to make to what, his colieage had said in regard to the Nedraska bill until a future occasion. He should at all times hold himself ready to vindicate the principles of that bill from assaults, no matter from what quarter they might cotne. He would not now go into an argument in reference to the questions raised by the message.— His opinions had been clearly expressed on all these matters on previous occasions. He thought the better course would be to refer the message at once to the Committee on Territories, where all the disputed questions of fact could be examined before it should come before the Senate in the regular form for action Hoping that that course would be adopted, he asked leave to present a remonstrance, signed by certain gentlemen, as governor and State officers elected under the Lecompton constitution in Kansas, protesting against the reception of that State into the Union under that constitution; which he moved <o refer to the Committee on Territories and to have pi inted.

Mr. TOOMBS stated that, but for the character of assault which the Senator from Illinois [Mr. Trumbull] Lad thought proper to make upon the message of the President, he would have been content to let it go to the country and vindicate itself; but such had been the nature of that assault that he felt it to be his duty to take this opportunity to express his hearty co-operation in the policy that the President has indicated, and at the same time to express his gratifies'. ion at the signal ability and power with which the great principle lying at ‘he Dotiom oi I that policy had been presented to the I American people by (he Chief Magistrate oi (he Union. The President reccoinmends the admission ol Kansas under the constitution now sent in. Upon the point that Kansas shall be admitted into the Union as a State, all the people of the ferritory, of both houses of Congress, were agreed A large portion of the people ol Kansas, said to be a majority by lhe republicans, nearly three years ago formed an instrument known as the Topeka constitution, and asked admission into the Union under it. Then there can be no objection on the ground that the inhabitants of Kansas do not desire a State government without the sanction of law and in opposition to law, the Lecompton convention met in pursuance of an act of the territorial legislature, imbodving the will of the people. The Lecompton constitution is clothed will legality, while the Topeka constitution was made in defiance of the laws ot the land. Mr. T. continued his argument at some length, and with great force and ability. Upon the conclusion of his remarks, without taking the question. The Senate adjourned. HOUSE. 1 he speaker laid before the body a message from the President of the United States, in w bich the latter informs Conjgress that he had received from J. CalI houn, president of tne constitutional conI vention of Kansas, a copy of the constitution framed by that body, duly certified, with the expression of a hope that he would transmit the same to Congress, , with a view to the admission of Kansas injto the Union as an independent State.— ■ Having but one copy of the constitution, • he had sent that to the Senate. The message having been read. j, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, moved that l it be printed, and referred to the Committee on Territories; pending which, Mr. Hughes, of Indiana, obtained the floor. A number of unsuccessful appeals were made to the gentleman by Mr Harris, of Illinois, to yield the floor so that he could submit a motion to amend the motion to print until finally he yielded to Mr. Letcher, of Virginia, who moved that the House adjourn; upon which the yeas and navs were demanded and ordered. The question was taken and resulted, yeas 105, navs 109. So lhe House refused to adjourn. Appeals continued to be made to Mr. Harris without success, when Mr. Hughes, supposing the gentleman’s proposition to be a motion to refer the message to a select committee, submitted the following resolution before proceeding with his remarks: Resolved. That the message of the President he referred to a select committ*e oft! irtceu tn report upon the propriety

an d expediency of the admisnon of k«n---j sas as a State into the Union, with powler to report by bill or othet wise. Which that gentleman afterwards mod ' ifred bv striking out nil that par " 1 referred to instructing the commi tee ! Mr Hughes finally proceeded to ad I dress the House, not, however without frequent interruptions. He said tlitt the ' State government of Indiana had been 1 carried on in violation of all law except' I mob law. The black-republicans nad | been guilty of the grossest frauds unsurpassed by anything in Kansas; while at the time they were howling about border ruffianism in Kansas. He predicted that the time was coming when this clamoring would not save these apostles of freedom from the indignation of an outraged people What was the true construction ot the Kansas-Nebraska act, particui n y in regard to the manner in which the people of Kansas should ratify their constitutions’ He agreed with the President that the people had the right to delegate the power of framing their constitution, (and differed from the construction placed upon it bv the distinguished senator who i had framed it. He was responsible for his course to his constituents, and he maintained, as matters of law and history, that the section of that bill repealing the Missouri Compromise, and defining the legislative power of the Territory, did not refer to anything but the question of slavry. The object of the bill was simply and solely to place the Territories on the ground occupied by the old States in making their constitutions. He proceeded jto argue that sovereignly could be delegated by the people, and opposed the views advanced by Mr. Douglas. His views were expressed in the President’s 1 message much better than be couid slate I them himself. The convention was legal and represented the will of the people most fairly. The difficulties in Kansas [had been caused by rebellion, and the ■ only wav to get rid of them was to admit j the Territory into the Union. From the New Albany Ledger. The Wallace Rcsolutoin.

It is to be regretted that there is any i room for controversy as to the true mean(in or construction of the resolution intro . Iduced by Mr. Wallace into the Democrat- ; ic State Convention, and passed by that ibody by large majority that any proposition received during the day. We do ! not think that there can be honestly an truly any doubt as to the real meaning of that resolution. Nineteen, twentieths of those who were present [dace but one' I construction upon it, and where it not I i that there are two parties interested in misrepresenting and misconstruing it, no ! < ther than its true meaning would evei have been placed upon it. The first of i these rartivs is the Black Republicans.— Os course their object is to create alienaj lion division among the Democrats. For weeks before the meeting of the Sth Ot [January Convention, and during the ; greater part of that day, they were calcu- [ lating largely upon the ‘split’ that was to take place between the ‘Douglas men’ and the "Buchanan men.’ So confident were ■.hey that there would be an open rupture that on the BGI of January, before the adoption of the Wallace resolu- [ lion, the leaders got together and issued a call for a Convention on the 4th of

March, at which the anti-Lecompton Demj oerats were invited to be present and participate. But the Wallace resolution struck them between wind and water, and demolished the structure upon which ■ they had reared their anticipations, unless jhey could persuade the anti Lecompton Democrats that they had been cheated in their own resolution. To this task, then, they diligently set to work; and from the moment t/ie Convention adjourned to the present time their leading organ, the Indiana Journal, together with all their minor organs, have labored ■ to prove to lhe anti-Lecompton Democrats that they were swindled in their own favorite resolution—a resolution introduced by Mr. A allace, and advocated bv Messrs. I Secrest, and Holman, and Lowry, the leaders in the Douglas Democracy. The oilier party who labors to put a false construction upon this resolution is our distinguished Senator Dr. Fitch, who having commmitted himself to the Lecompton scheme in advance, is very anxious to show that every body else occupies the same position as himself. It will thus be seen that the Indiana Journal and its Republican friends, together with Dr. Filch, occupy one position, while the Democatic party of Ir.diaoccupy the other. To our minds there could be no question as to which is in the right, even had we not been present in the Convention and closely watched its proceedings. The fact that the resolution was offered by leading popular sovereignty delegate; that it was referred to a pro Lecompton committee, which reported a non committal substitute; that the substitute was supported by the friends of the Lecompton constitution and oppos ed and voted down by its opponents; that in advocating the substitute Mr. Chapman, its author, expresly declared that it did not refer to Kansss, while Wallace’s resolution did; that, on being appealed to, Mr. Wallace declared that his resolution was intended to apply to Kansas; that tne President so slated to lhe i onvention, and that the Convention so adopted it all the notorious Lecompton Delegations voting against it, and the anti Lecompton delegations voting for it; —when, we say, all these things are considered there is not m our opinion, room to doubt as to what was the intention of the Convention. 1 , But when we come to look at the res'■’.u’tcn itself, it docs not »eetn t -1 us ’’.at

there can be any question as to wl;nj } true meaning. Here it is: ’ '* Resolved, That we are still in favor,i the great doctrine of the K ansas JGb-J «» ka bill, and that by apractical applied Messrs. I of that doctrine the people of a State ''' iename °. f Territory are vested with the right o(ra ifyihg or rejecting at the ballot-box an .-imsry el constitution that may be formed for government, and that hereafter no Tert OTWear lory should be admitted into the UnK,. BSSE JU as a State without a fair expression of f Co " nl y will of the people being firs', had upon **pfpd C ’ constitution accompanying the apnlie- .. \ tion for admission. “b.

Here it is emphatically declared th # i 5e of R, ’. c by a ‘practical application’ of the Bn ’ ocra ! ic doctrine of the Kansas-Nebraska bill,’ t| )e emoCra ' neonle are vested with the right of ratih Mlssils ' mg or rejecting at the ballot-box any con-Hee of R stitution that maybe formed for th t ; r emocrath government.’ What absurdity is it to ccn- blif?e nia ' tend that the people of the very Territory Messrs. whose organic act recognizes for the firs;; numcro ' lime the ‘great doctrine’ of popular BC r ereignty, is to be deprived ot the ‘prac ratio prir tical application’of that doctrine! ‘great doctrine’ is not to bs applied tn ’’To the Kansas, is it likely that Congiess -The un< ever apply the same principle to anyotl « snumcr er Territory? Will it not be said thr, n the pretended ‘great doctrine’ of the K». > would sac bill has proved a failure and a hunt- ,ncil ? [ bug in the very case for which it was spe- -’. le :o V s j cially enacted, and why should it be in- r‘h,7’Hh corporated in any future bills organizing pf-sl-p new Territories? Does Dr. Fitch think jyWe lie can make the U. S. Senate believe tint ’ GEOR the State Convention intended to apply of- - ‘great doctrine of the Kansas-Nebras- e!n<idral ka bill’ to Dacotah and Arizona and Ceti- ETWe, tral America and Sonora, not to Kansm ■ and Nebraska themselves? The very s j o n of idea is absurd and preposterous. As pril no well might ii be said that the ‘great doc- tyWe' [trine’ proclaimed in the declaration ol .10SEI Independence was intended to anply to China and Japan, and not to the Thirteen Colonies, China and Japan may some div be prepared to receive and apply that doc- r ‘.line, and so may the future Territories arr , c t # ,of the United States be some day ready to receive and apply the ‘great doctrines heat, of the Kansas-Nebraska bill.’ but that " day is not yet. ’ rB ‘ But the Indiana Senator attempt|to ‘ ’ • ‘ y e, play upon the meaning of the word ‘hersafter.’ He says that the Convention in- -ana. I tended to use the word ‘hereafter’ in the our.h same sense as the President in his meisage, used the words "future occasions.’ Aver y slight examination of the message and the resolution will show that Info construction is not just. The President contends that the Kansas Nebraska bill i did not. require the submission of the con- • stitution, and that the Convention which framed it were not bound to submit it at :^rni all, but that on 'future occasions' — in the .uckwl organization of future Territories— it would be well to insert a provision re 1 quiring such submission, as actually wm pans, ' done in the case of Minnesota. The res ->t*to« olution adopted by the Bth ot January niona : Convention, however takes a different , ■ .it- icese view of the requirements ol the Kansas „ g> bill. It is there enunciated that by a' ]t, !‘practicable application, ot the principle icon. lof that bill the people are entitled to be - __ ' heard at the ballot-box on the ratification pjj of their constitution, and that ‘hereafter Ino Territory should be admitted into the . Union as a State without a lair expression

of the will of the people being first upon , the Constitution accompanying '.he t) ' plication (or admission.’ When that resolution was adopted Kansas had made no d tin application for admission, nor has she yet; !I£U and of course if she does make such »p- ‘ plication, it must be “hereafter.” The Convention, then, and the President, dis- |n{ j‘ fer in opinion—the former believing that t e a ] the spirit and essence —the ‘great doc- eetrine—of the Kansas Nebraska bill, required the submission of the Constitution to the people, while the President did not goo consider that such submission was re- nto quired he thinks that in all future bills organizing new territories a provision ex- — pressly requiring such submission ought to be inserted. As a matter of course, ’ c then there is no parelel whatever between .’he : the Conventions ‘hereafter’ and the Pres- >'ap' ident’s ‘future occasion.’ u ’ r ‘ i in ent What It's Made Up Of.—The census of the United States shows that we hsvs pj 1P two million and a half farmers, one hun- „f dred thousand merchants, sixty-four th j thousand masons, and nearly two hundred thousand carpenters. We have fourteen thousand bakers to make our bread; )ne : twenty-four thousand lawyers to set us by the ears; forty thousand doctors to 1 " 'kill or cure,’and fifteen hundred editors to keep this motley mass in order, by the -g, power of public opinion controlled and ? manufactured through the press. *L The editors of the New York Tribune 1 have heard it s'ated by a gentleman who has had opportunities of knowing the fact ( that Huntington, whois supposed to be tli , serving out his sentence in Sing Sing at prison for forgery, is really confined to the prison walls but a portion of the time, ;) and is never employed at hard work. It ’o lis said that be is very frequently allowed b*j the freedom of the village. — y c Life pills and phoenix bitters. It is » ~ i veritable fact, that more cures are silently and economically effected not only in the j rural districts, but in all the large cities and towns in the South and Southwest, by a timely resort to these invaluable medicines, than by the experiments of ths n i so-cailed faculty. For families and trav- ic elers they are unsurpassed. Sold by the . ■ proprietor, W. B Moffat, 335 Broadway J 'Naw York
