It does seem a little strange, that it lalis to the duty of a Whig editor here to defend thc German character and their persons, from the attacks of a Democratic paper but it appears to us even more strange, that we should now be called upon to defend the German Democratic paper against one of the most prominent Democrats in the city. Our City. Mr. Kurtz, of the Princeton Clarion, recently made our city a visit, and gives a few of his impressions in the following article. His ideas on thc subject are simply those of almost every attentive observer who viiits Evansville: ,s We were somewhat surprised, upon a re cent visit to the city of Evansville, to observ e the rapid and almost unprecedenteu improvements going on, both in buildings and in I usiness. She is making rapid sl ides towards a great city and rivalling Cincinnati in commercial importance ; the wharf improvement has added much not only the business hut to the beauty of the place. While we were there a large portion of the wharf was covered uiih sacks of grain and barrels of produce wailing for shipment, steamers constantly arriving and departing, loading ami unloaitmg. giving quite a business air to the place only seen iu large commercial cities. The contemplated improvements terminating at Evansvdie, are equal in importance to ai y point iu the W est, anJ must make Evansville to Indiana what Cincinnati is to Ohio, tue commercial emporium of the State. 3"Several candidates notices have been 6ent us without the printer's fee. and thus have not found their way into the Doner. We have enough experience in this kind of

business to know that a candidate's notice :l niat.er 01 no surprise :i an editor r wear .iiwhich is not paid before the election, is neverj reclii' to tho contrary of what he had just, be-

The trip was thus made by both boats in five days and a few hours. The Boston Post is responsible for the following : A sign painter carried a bill to a lawydr once, for payment.

Your own is a ycuag city upon which I now look as a pride to the West, and as a city rapidly advancing in population aud useful improvements; therefore feeling somewhat solicitous fir your c mtinucd prosperity, I would re- ! KU i; that the " aueen City " is now looking lViil, a jealous eye to the trade of not only 'central but southern Indiana. The following is taken from one of our daily journals, as it happened to come within my notice while 1 1 was thinking of (no subject of which it speaks : Roads a-e being made from 11 vansviile to the upper Wabash from A'ew Albany in the same direction, and from JefI'ersonville to Columbus. Is the city willing 10 let these improvements silently, but certainly, do their werk ot' drawing down the trade of the interior of Indiana to those Southern points, when, by uniting with the works projected from Lawrcnceburgh, everything desired by the Hamilton route is obtained, while nothing else is lost." This paragraph mirrors but little of the Iceling on this sul jeet now prevalent among our capitalists and properly holders; they will be content when Railways find ilieir way into tue ricaaiu pro.ia. tivj v aiiasa country, and lead the product:? of that country, with the products of the interior of Indiana, imo her own bosom. Iam an admirer of proper ambition and well dincted entcrpi ise, but when this, the. great Queen City." extends her arms to fold to herself that which rightly belongs to another, then she has, at baat, the rebuke of Your huir.bie servant, OSCAR. A ISEisiatiLctt I lie a.. An idea was advanced a" the Ceurt IIou?e on Tuesday, by a lawyer, speaking in behalf of the Plaintiff in the : case alluded to in another lace, which we record for the benefit of our coteuiporaries. It was to the effect, that the editorials of a paper must not be viewed as the hoiast expression of the Editor's opinions, but that generally they were directly the contrary so that when called jui,on ,0 "''' 0;lth t,t'1'oru il Court, it must be -ir..... v. -K., ! ., -, i . 1 in. 11.. it; ij'uon.-jieu .ia i:u u.!i ojji.nons: 1 lie gentleman had a perfect right to speak for his own client, as he doubtless did honestly ci.d with candor, but lie hills into a great mistak when he attempts to judge of the course of! Oilier li.liOlc .1 ! . 1 tue disgraceful habits of this. We bei as much insulted by it ns wc might pre ume some of our legal friends would, were we to make tkb speaker a standard by which to mor.iliy judge ihem. For the whole fraternity of honorable cdi ors, we deny the truth . f the remark. What we say in our paper editorially, we are willing to stand up to privately; and the public mid the laws hold us individually responsible f r the same. To maintain privately a JiiiV rent opinion from that we have publicly expressed, is to acknowledge errors, which we only do when convinced; or to pronounce our own state meats will ally lube, which we never do. ICo Offence. In alluding yesterday to! the Jurys verdict in the case of Huntington rs. Chandler, we cad not. mean any disrespect to them in indulging in the joke that they had fined the Defendant ten dollars for the assault and battery, because he did not lick the Plaintiff. Oi'course, this was not the reason strictly. They fined him rightly in their own conscience lor infringing upon the peace of the community. When submitted to the Jury the amount decreed on paper by each member, was from five cents to twenty five dollars. The compromise of ten dollars was fixed upon.

March 25 Mr. Webster rose to make an explanation . i for the purpose of defending his recent speeds from the charge of being ' consistent With his re murks on slavery made in ISIS. He said touse person had been edifying the Senate by sending round a piece of paper, quoting bom the two speeches. He would not undertake to say now that if any person did make these quotations lor the purpose of showing any inconsistency, lie did not either understand the subject or was not candid. There was no ir cons .-.tency. He had never voted for any increase ofsiaery or slave territory. lie would carry out. the compact with Texas. Havin'i resisted ur.succcfiiily the uViking of the compact, he would not now violate it after it was made. Mr. Hale replied that the compact was made ia lSi-5, and was just a3 much a reality in 1S43 as it was 1830, and it seemed to him that, under the circumstances, there was an unwarrantable difference iu sentiment. He had however in his allusion designed no censure or disrespect. Mr. Webster. If he did not intend quoting to show inconsistency, he did not see what Lis object was. After some further explanation between Webster and Hale; Mr. Douglass, from the Committee on Territories, reported a bill to admit California, and a bill to organize a territorial government lor New Mexico.
