tire ComaiUee was appointed at the County Con rendou last summer, beliering the mode to be enti-democratic, and not in accordance with precedent, and that the committee should be cboaen, not by tbe President of a Convention, but by tbe people of tbe several townships. Ktmlvtd, That the members of tbe Central Committee ought to be selected by the Democracy of the several townabips, and we recommend that at the April election annually, the Democrats of tbe several townships, select members o! the Central Committee tor the ensuing year. On motion, the Convention appointed Wm. Glardon to fill tbe vacancy in the Central Committee for Logan Township. William £. Holman submitted the following resolutions, which were adopted by an unanimous rote, vis: Ruolved, 1. That the general policy of Mr. Buchanan’s administration meets our hearty ap-

provaL

2. That now, as in times put, the Democracy of Dearborn County are implaceabiy hostile to all legislation that favors capital at the expense of labor, that such legislation, laws authorizing the issuing of a paper currency, are the most mischievous and anti-democratic—increasing the wealth of the unproductive capital and oppress-

ing productive lil>or.

3. That the right conferred on the Bank of the State of Indiana of issuing two dollars and fi-ty cents of paper money for every dollar of capital, la at war with every principle of Republican .equality, and receives especially our unqualified

condemnation.

4. That the doctrine recently asserted in certain quarters, with a view to the upholding of an unjust monopoly, “That laws conferring particular franchises on certain citizens of the State at the expense of others, (such as laws authorizing Banking and reserving no benefits to the State) ars irrepealable,” is inadmissable in a State organized for tbe common benefit of the whole people; and we assert that such laws are not “contracts” within tbe meaning of the Constitution, and are subject to repeal whenever demand ed by the public good. 5. That no Territory should ever be admitted into the fraternity of States, until the Constitution of the proposed State, embodying the fundamental principles of its organization, shall have been submitted to the whole people of such Territory and received the approval of the greater

number.

6. That as Democrats we denounce the miserable toadyism which would abandou principle in the insane idolatry of men, and that all efforts made to induce the Democracy to follow the leadership of men at the expense of principle, and thus destroy the foundation of our common Union, should be repelled as an insult to the intelligence and manhood of tbe Democracy of the

Bute.

7. That we are opposed to the appropriation of any portion of the public lauds to the benefit of Corporations, and we believe that the best interest of the country dem mds that these lands should be diapose 1 of in limited quantities to ac tual settlors and not with a view to speculation.

On motion, it was

Ketoloed, That the Democrats present from the several Townships select delegates to represent the county in the next State Convention. The delegates from the several Townships re ported the following delegates, in accordance with

said resolution :

Lawrencrburgh—John Anderegg, C. O’Brien, F. M. Jackson, E T. Crosby, S. L. Jones, Gide on Renner, Squire Watts, John Hrimberger, Henry Pierce, W. W. Tilley, Major R. Slater,

On the 21st inst. tbe House resumed the con

^deration of the Treasury Note Bill.

In the Senate tbe discussion of the Kanew question was continued, chiefly by Mr. Bigler, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bigler presented a long record with reference to Mr. Douglas’ inconsisteucies upon the Slavery question—with reapegt to his present position. Mr. Bigler sustainedTRie Administration. Personalities were interchanged and Douglas declared that he should not be spoken of as if he were “outside of a healthy Democratic

organization.” •

Mr. Bigler denied that in any shape or form had he been laboring to put the Senator out of the party. He did “ not say that any man who differed with the administration on this subject

was no Democrat.”

The Legislature waa still in session, and uetively making preparations in regard to the •lection to be held to-day. Gen. Denver had arrived at the Territorial seat of government, but had not, as yet, superceded Stanton. Tbe fraudulently elected pry-slavery members from Leavenworth and Atchison counties had been dispiac ed, and their free State competitors admitted. On Tueoday the Legislature had passed a bill caHinj put the militia to preserve peace o^ the 21st, am had provided for a M^jor General and nine Brigadier Generals to command the troops. They wore likewise reported aa having passed an act submitting the whole Constitution to a vote of the people on the 21st, and also the Topeka Constitution—the one receiving a majority of all the ▼•tea east to be sent to Congress. They had aleo pamed an election law making it felony to return fraudulent votes, (punishable by fine and imprisonment,; and containing other guarantees to secure a full and free expression of the people. It would be inferred from this that the Calhoun Judges of election had not been superceded, but welnellne to doubt it. These laws ewes said to hare been sent in to Secretary Stanton far approval on Tuesday evening ; but our informant had

"A Prophecy Fulfilled'”

The Journal, after three days of hard labor, has brought forth a characteristic production to prove it* “prophetic powers.” The prophecies of the editor of tho Journal have proven to be, by actual experiment, most melancholy failures. He can, sometimes, see backwards, but never for wards. He has stern views, but no prospective. He and his party are ever ready to catch the cast off clothing of the Democracy and don them with peacock pride. They follow in the path that the Democracy have beaten for them, but have no compass of principle or administrative faculty by which to make one for themselves. They are like camp followers, standing ready to reap the advantages that the army may gain, without being willing to expose themselves to the dangers or contributing the labor necessary to win them. These gabbling prophets have their best counterpart in cackling geeseThe Journal says that it predicted we would “go the whole length of the Calhoun scheme,” and says its prophecy is fulfilled because we expressed our confidence in the integrity of the National Administration and was willing to receive Kansas into the Union as a free State, under the Lecomptou Constitution, if the vote on that instrument, on the 21st inst., should justify it. That sentiment we expressed in an article which appeared in the Sentinel on the 2d day of December, which we quote, as the Journal is desirous of appealing to our record. We said : If the Constitution now before the people of Kansas should be unexceptionable—and this cannot be known until the proposed vote has been taken upon the submitted question of slavery— we see no necessity for any action of Congress or the President. That result will be known in a month. If the vote of a majority of the people is not withheld, and if that vote evidently express their will upon the issues involved, we do not see any reason why the Constitution should not be accepted and Kansas admitted as a State. And so we say now. It will be time for the people outside of Kansas to act, so far as their action is necessary, when the people of that Territory have themselves determined upon the is-suesb-ffore them. It is not our province to direct the domestic policy of the people of Kansas, whatever op nions or wishes we may entertain respecting it, nor has the President, Congress or the country any right to dic-ate it. If Kansas applies for admission with a Constitution, Republican in form, she should be admitted iuto the Union upon terms of equality with the other States

without any other requirements.

The Journal takes issue with us, in our asser tion that the question of slavery is really the only one in which tbe country has been interested in tbe Kansas imbroglio. Upon what other was issue taken during the Presidential campaign ? Was it not the only bone of contention? The Republicans claimed to be exclusive^ freedom shriekers and charged that the Democracy were pro-slavery Nevir a word said they about submitting constitutions to a vote of the people there. They claimed the right of Congress to determine the question of slavery for Kansas and nil territories. The irreat virtue of the Topeka Constitution with the Republicans, if not the only one, was that it made Kansas a free State, and the Republicans refused to submit that instrument to the approval of the people of K mstis and n-jected in the lower house of Congress, Toombs’ enabling act, which provided for the submission of the slavery issue to the determination of the bona^rfaritizens of Kansas. They were unwilling to submit the issue then to a vote of the citizens of Kansas for fear that a free State constitution would not be carried. It was the Topeka Constitution or noth ing, and no submission to the popular vote. What right have tho Republicans and the Journal now to claim that popular sovereignty shall determine the domestic institutions of an embryo State? And yet the Journal has the audacity to charge that we “back out” from our position and favor “ fraud ” because we have said that “ if admitted into the Union as a free State, the peoplewC the Territory have been left free to determine for.therilBteWe* the great bone of con lestioa, whether slavery or freedom should prevail” ! What more does Black Repumewusm ask for than to make Kansas a free State, if such be the desire of a majority of her citizens? Where does the Republican party now stand ? Haa it abandoned its ground of Congressional sovereignty ? That was its sovereign panacea for all the ills of Kansas. Has it now taken refuge in squatter sovereignty—a doctrine which it has so much derided? When tbe Journal can fake the beam ont of its own eye—rid itself of ka own party inconsistencies'—it any have the privianad to [ie*e,of trying to find a mote in its brother’s. W have not and shall not justify any “fraud” in the admisaion of Kanaas, and wo have every ooefi donee that the National Administration will regard only the right. The practice of ** fronds belongs par excellence and exclusively to Blade Republicanism, whose controlling motto is that

There will be a Convention of the Soldiexs of the War of 1812, now resident of Indiana, at the city of Indiaoapolia, on the 9th day of Janoary 1656, to boheM in tire Senate Chandler, in tho

ing Mr. Newell Mosic Teacher, and Mr. McGiffin Teacher of Handicraft. Woaay, fbr not re-efad-4ap them, for they were not “turned out," as tbe Journal haa it, £ut simply not re elected, their

terms of office having expired.

The Joanal attempts to make the impreuion that these gentlemen have not only been “turned put,” but "tamed out” because they were Re publicans. What are the facts? Mr. McGiffin has been a salaried officer of the Inctitntioo from its first organization, having acquired in the time a handsome competency. The Board has long entertained the opinion that his place ought to be supplied by a seeing man, as it must be apparent to every one, that a Mind nun is not as capable of giving instructions to tbe blind in the various branchesot handicraft, as one who can see. Having the best interests of the pupils and the Institntiou in view, the Trustees have now done, what ought to have been done long since, elected a seeing man, and one too, possessing rare qualifications as a mechanic to take charge of this department. Mr. McGiffiin has beat paid $350 per annum and board and washing in the Institute. Mr. Wainscot is paid the same salary, and is allowed $100 for board and washing. In addition to su perintending the work department, Mr. Wainscot is required to attend to all repairs in and about the Institute, which repairs alone would probably amount to as much as his salary. Can tbe Journal find anything in this to complain of ? If, however, the Board shall find that Mr. Wainscot is in any way disqualified for tbe position they have assigned him, we have no donbt but his place will be supplied by one who is qualified. The other martyr, Mr. Newell, the Journal says, “was sent for from a distant southern State” to take charge of the musical department. We dont know that it makes any kind of difference where Mr. Newell live 1 previous to coming here to teach music, but we understand that he was born and bred over in Ohip. He, too, has been a teacher of music in the Institute from its first opening and has made himself almost rich at the public crib. But is this any reason why he should always be continued? His salary was $700 per annum, without board. He also had an assistant, at $100 per annum, which made

tion, we were actuated by aa ardent desire lo

the South from the necessity of tecunion, by preserving a policy, which insures ear rights sad sustains the Union. We beHve tbe Constitution al rights of tite slave States will be protected at any. coat, sad at every hazard, by Mr. Buchanan. And so believing, we have interposed between him and .his assailants of the South as well as

North, and we are prepared to do so again,

ever the occasion calls for it. We are in favor of the Union as long as the Constitution is en forced. We main tain that secession U the rightful remedy for our wrongs, when tho equality of the States is destroyed. W e look upon the Democratic party as holding out the only hope to the confederacy. And we are anxious to preserve its unity. We have confidence in the Northern Democracy. Their noble bearing in the late Presidential contest, entities them to our gratitude. We denounce the dbupionists, because we eon see no necessity for a disruption of the confederacy yet, and trust that we never may — Such have been the salient features ebaraeteri sing tbe course of the Emquirfr in a contest which has induced gentlemen to fear that we varied from tire old. chert that used to guide us.— Such opinions do us injustice. The Enquirer is stiH true to the doctrines of its earlier days. W e cherish the Union, and mean to defend it as long as the constitutional rights of the South are .not encroached upon.

States is denied, we would prove it by

Democratic Heetimg in Chicago. Tbe meeting of the Democracy of Chi -ago, on Saturday evening last, is represented by the Tenses to have been the largest and most entbusi astie ever assembled in that city. The position of Mr. Douglas was endorsed and a resolution ed expressing “ unabated confidence in the integrity, wisdom and patriotism of the National Administration,” mod the belief that the principles of the Democratic party aa set forth in the Kansas Nebraska act and in the Cincinnati Platform would be faithfully applied on the admission of Kansaa into the Union.

he teaching in this department cost the snug little sum of $800. The present incumbent is paid$300 per annum and boarded in the institution, and performs all the service that Mr. Newell and bis assistant both did, and does it too, both to the satisfaction of the Board and pupils. Is there anything in this that the Journal ought to complain of? But Mr. Newell is Republican, and, therefore, according to the

Journal, was “turned out.”

truth there is in this charge.

The Board is composed of six members, four of whom are Democrats, and two Republicans. Of these the present incumbent received five votes, including both Republicans, the other Democrat voting for another person, not Mr. Newell however. Does this look like the Board was

actuated by partizan motives?

Again, in the election of principal teacher the literary department of the institution where a Democrat of acknowledged qualifications was candidate for the position, the present incumbent, who is a Republican, was elected, receiving the votes of every Democrat in the Boaid. Does this look like proscribing a man on account

his political opinions?

The truth is, the institution was never conducted so economically as at present. The best feeling exists between officers and pupils. That Black Republicans and “sore heads” should find fault with the action of the trustees, a majority of whom are Democratic, is perfectly natural.

Indinnm htmte Prison.

The Directors of this institution met on the 17th inst., and made their annual report to the Governor. We have been put in possession ol the following facts in reference to the condition of its affairs, by Geu. Randall, one of the Direc-

tors.

Tbe whole number of convicts is 341. Of these, 15 are convicts for life. The earnings oi the prisoners over the expenses of he prison for the year, are $4,319 88. The law passed recently regulating the affairs of the instititution, requires the convicts to be tasked and paid for over work. The payments to the prisoners for over work during the year, amounts to $3,293 23, which makes the entire earnings of the prisoners over the expenses of the prison, amount to $7,613 11. This result is very gratifying and proves that our State Prison can be made more than a self supporting institution,—a source of revenue to the State and a pecuniary advantage to the convicts. Under the present mode of conducting the prison, the punishment of the prisoners for the past year ha* not been over one-fourth what it was under the old lessee system. The escapes from the prison have been in the same proportion.— There have been only two deaths during the past

year.

The new Cell House is nearly completed, and when finished will hare three hundred and fortyfour cells and three hundred and forty-one convicts for occupants. The present Prison yard is fnlly occupied with shops, cell houses, Ac. The cells and shops are fall. The State will be under the necessity of enlarging materially the present Prison or building a new one. . ' We find the following reference to the Indiana State Prison in the Louisville Courier : The finance* ot this Institution during the past year, under the management of the State, exhibit a surplus of assets or credits to the State of $4, 349 88 ; expenses and liabilities, $34,567 75 ; income, $38^17 63. Hie discipline of the Prison has been mudi improved daring the past year. The amount of punishment has been less—of instruction and moral culture much greater. About 40 conviete are now daily or nightly under instruction in the various branches of a common school education, under the indefatigable “moral : ""*r%itnr_” Ml Runcie. With an able assistant, he has been able to advance the degraded inmates of the Penitentiary in those brooches of infanretioo necessary in tire duties of Bfo. Tbe present favorable cooditiM of the Indiana Penitentiary ably refutes the idea tint the system of fanning of convicts is necessary to save expense to the State. - ,

Governor Wali&er’a Letter.

Governor Walker lays great stress upon a point which nobody has sought to controvert, namely, his consisteut and reiterated advocacy of ttie principle of popular sovereignty, and the right of the people to adopt or reject the Constitution which the constitutional delegates might frameIn every speech, proclamation and written address, which Mr. Walker has published since his appointment as Governor of Kansas, he has maintained the broadest principles of self-government, and promised to do everything in his power to protect the people of that Territory in the exercise of their rights, and to induce the constitutional Convention to submit their whole woik, freely and frankly, to a popular vole. In advocating this doctrine, and in giving this advice, Mr. Walker followed the dictates of his own con science, as well as the directions giving him by the President, who equally with Mr. Wtdker, approves and recommends adherauce to the princi-

Let us see how much P lea of P°P ular sovereignty; who believed that

the Ka-tsos constitutional Convention would submit the whole of their work to the people and who regrets, as much as Mr. Walker, that the Convention did not adopt so correct and equitable a course. Neither the President nor Mr. Walker, however, has the power to annul every act that is not in accordance with his own views. The Le compton Convention may have acted very un wisely in refusing to adopt Mr. Walker’s recommendations. They may have led M« Walker to believe that they would act differently; and on the strength of that belie 1, the Governoi may have made promises to the people which circumstances have rendered it impossible for him to fulfil. The President may ire, and is, he says, disappointed; because he expected that the Lecompton Convention would act as Governor Walker, under his instructions, advised them to net. But, in regarding the Kansas question in its present phase, the President cannot allow-his feelings or his partialities to override the law, or to annul that which is legally and constitutionally valid, because, in his opinion, it is not altogether equit able. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Walker have been compelled to recognize the acts of the first Territorial Legislature of Kansas, because they were the acts of a legally constituted body, clothed in due form with Legislative powers; but Mr Buchanan and Mr. Walker know that the manner of their election was not free from stain or re1 roach In the same way Mr. Buchanan is obliged to recognize, and deal with,as legal, the acts of the Lecomptoti Convention, because they were a legally constituted body, clothed by the peopl (those of them who voted, and all were tree to

vote) with po

for the new State, and because in the exercise of those powers they have done what the law permitted them to do, are! have not omitted to do anything that the law required them to do. The fact that they have omitted to do what Mr. Walker advised and Mr. Buehanan believed that they should do, does not in the least affect the

legality of their position or proceedings. The act which provided for their election was legal, and their election itself was legal.—that is, it was held fit the proper time and in a legal manner,— and those persons were declared to be chosen as delegates, who received the greatest number of legal votes;—and Mr. Walker recognizes their legality, their powers, and their right to Irnme a Constitution. Granting all that Governor Wal ker says with regard to the detective census, the Imperfect registry, and the wrong thus inflicted ou a portion of the inhabitants of the Territory, it still holds true that the moment be certified the election of the delegatee and recognized their office, he debarred himself from objecting to their legality; just as Governor Reeder, by granting certificates of election and convening the “bogus Legislature,” debarred himself from objecting to the legality of the election of that body, there was a “vital defect iu tbe organization” the Conveutiou at any time, Mr. Walker’s insis ting that the Constitution should be submitted to the people, could not cure it. With all possible respect for Govern ir Walker, we must differ from him as to tie inexpediency of theedmteaion of Kansas into the Union by Congress with the Lecompton Constitution. The President’s reasons for such admission are to us

convincing and satisfactory.

1110 whole matter will of course come before Congress immediately^fter the election on the 2lstlnst-, and it will be then for Congress to investigate it, and act justly according to their best judgment This duty we have the strongest faith that Congress will perform well and ably, for the

best interests-of the Republic.

The St Louis Democrat (Repob.) has a report that “the Constitution without the slavery danse will be voted for by the pro-slavery men, and of course will be deemed sanctioned by the popular ▼ole.” It wgl then be sent to Washington, Ac.
