The Repulicans have not yet succeeded in seating their Lieutenant Governor, and some of their following h.reabouts are badly “riled,” and betray their lllbreeding and edu ation in their expressions with reference to far, far bett r men than themselves. » ——- —— Judge David Turpie has received the Democratic caucus nomination for United States Senator. With Senaters Yoorhees and Turpie as member oi the U. S. Senate Indiana will rank No. 1 in that body. The Republicans have not been permitted to steal the seat of the presiding officer in the Senate, and our neighbor of the Republican cannot conceal his disgust. President of the Senate, Senator Smith demands that the Republican claimant make his claim good under the iaw and he will give way, but this does not satisfy them. “Sectionalism with its menaces has ever assumed the form of partyism, which is its bulwark of strength.”—Message. The leaders of the northern sectionalism w°re willing, under certain contingences, “to let the Union slilde;’’ demanded an “anti-slavery God, Bible, and Constitution;” declared the “Constitution a covenant with Death, and the Un on in league with Hell;” denounced our starry Hag as a “Taunting lie and bloody rag;” and insisted that “the Union wasn’t worth < cuss without a little blood-letting!” etc., etc,

Tut, tut, Brother James; for a “scattering” voter you are too persistent in your demands for “enipOUi.

“By the aid of “scattering” voters Republican candidates in Jasper county received 1,000 to 1,200 majorities last fall.” —Message. Absurdly false. Had you said: “By the fatal error of the Democracy iu not presenting opposing candidates for the suffrages of the people Republican candidates in Jasper county received 1,000 to 1,200 majorities last fall,” your readers would know the statement to be true. Yon are evidently “scattering” in truth as well as in vote.
