SATURDAY MORNING.......................JANUARY 19 ======= "Watchman, What of the Night?" In six and a half weeks of time the day will come on which our new President is to be inaugurated. A formidable plot is being carried out to prevent Abraham Lincoln from becoming President of "the Ihirtythree States composing the Republic. The plot is assuming seriou3 proportions. Commencing in the early part of November 83 a mere speck in the South-eastern sky, the cloud of rebellion has assumed a threatening aspect and is now rapidly spreading itself over the Southern portion of the political firmament. Ia this really to be a storm of dreadful violence, or a mere squall charged with a large quantity of wind and a modicum of hail, rain, thunder and lightning ? This is a question now of absorbing interest, which all are asking themselves. The prospect seems very gloomy for the integrity and peace of the country. South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi have adopted ordinances of secession. Georria will the early part of next week. Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas will doubtless follow suit with little delay. Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia we have no hope of seeing refuse to join the stam pede. Delaware not being a pro-slavery State " to hurt'' may be considered as a Un ion State, to all intents and purposes. There is likewise some hope that Missouri may deem it her interest to remain so, but we fear not. Maryland and Kentucky we fear will be dragged against their will into the vortex of secession by the over-powering influence of slavery. Thus nearly all the Slave State3 will secede, so far as they can do so on paper, before the fourth of March "We fear thi3 is inevitable. If Maryland can be dragged into the dis nion movement, the next step of the rebels will be to counce on the Capital and take possession of it for the use of the proposed Southern Confederacy. Either the people engaged in tbia mad scheme are in earnest or tbey are playing a deep, bold game in order to bully the North into the grant of substantial concessions to the peculiar institution. If the former, they are determined JO form a Southern slaveholding Confederacy, and to set it in operation before Lincoln's inauguration. If the latter, their plan is for all the slave States to pass ordinances, and then hold them in Urrorem over the North to force her to grant concessions to them. There is no doubt but the Gulf States are in earnest and intend to form a Southern Confederacy. The border States and those of the middle tier we think expect to so act as to extort concessions from the free States. If the slave States of the middle tier and the border follow the Gulf States by passing ordinances, the whole movement will be regarded as made ia earnest with tho deliberate design of disunion. The North, though hard pressed to do so, will make no concessions that will satisfy the leaders in this conspiracy. The Gulf States cannot he latiffied by any concession the North will make, and though the border sluve States might possibly be satisfied with concessions thai the free States could make, they will be obliged ia self respect and apparent self interest, even against the inclination of a majority of their citizens, to tollow wherever the Gulf States lead. On the fourth of March the Republican party will be obliged to choose between a bloody civil war waged to coerce the seceding States to stay in the Union ; or their peaceable, quiet withdrawal after properly arranging for the payment of the public debt and division of the property ; or a concession yielding some of tl:e vital principles of the organization. This will be the great problem presented to the consideration of Mr. Lincoln, his advisers, and followers. Tuey are, we believe, able to decide wisely and to act their part creditably. In the meantime the Nor'h has to keep' cool and prepare for the worst, yet hope for the best. The times are big with important events, and we are al! actors in one of the most momentous dramas that has ever been enacted on the stage of the world!? . Hon. Caleb B. Smith We observe with regret that the Cincinnati Commercial a paper that derives a laree patronage from this State is engaged, in an earnest effort to detract from the well-earned business reputation of the gentleman whose name heads this article. The Commercial -ireely admits Mr. Smith's great ability as an orator and his unquestioned integrity, for with all its spite against the prominent men of our State, it can not deny facts so universally recognized. But that paper intimates that in business affairs Mr. S. is not as skillful as he should be to occupy a seat in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. Any one who knows Mr. Smith's long and creditable experience as a lawyer, legislator, and general business man will be surprised at the Commercial's inputations on his business skill. They are unfounded and we believe thrown out through malice or interested motives. The Commercial has i habit of trying to belittle our prominent men, and setting up over them certain favorites of its own in Ohio i and we believe that in this instance, it Las unscrupulously assailed Mr. Smith for the purpose of induciug Mr. Lincoln to pass our State by and give a Cabinet appointment to some persoa from Ohio. It 13 part of, a game being played for the, purpose of getting some favorite of the Commercial into the Cabinet. It seems to us that Mr. Lincoln cannot fail to recogize the help ho and bis cause have received from Indiana ; and that one of her son3 will certainly be selected as one 4 of his constitutional adviser3. This nuch is due the State from Mr. Lincoln and the jMtj.

. . -letter . ?rom Indianapolis. Ikdianapolib, Jan. 16, 1S60. j . Editors Journal : The Republicans and ; Democrats held tbeir separate caucuses last evening, and nc tninated, respectively, as j every body supposed, Governor Lane and Ex-Governor Wright for the U. S. Senate. The election or Senator had been made the order of the day, for 2 p. M. this day. The different branches voted separately in their respective chambers."" A "prodigious jam of spectators filled Vthe' lobbies, and ni-iny ot the fair sex were present at the right of the Speaker The result of the election was so clearly foreshadowed, that there was very

little feeling manifested during the progress of it. In the House Lane received CI votes and "Wright 3G. In the Senate the vote stood 27 to 21 ; giving Lane 88 votes out of 145, The nomination of the old Democratic war-horse, Joe Wright, was of course only a compliment to him, but even in that view it shows that his old associates re member him . . kindly, and perhaps they mean to be understood as expressing the hope of doing something more substantial for him, if tbey shall ever again have the power. " I wish there were no worse men in the Democratic cimp than be ; and I am quite sure that, in the altered state of politics, he will receive a cor dial welcome, fro ji men of both parties, when he returns again to Indiana. But I have got away from the matter in hand." When the Speaker of the House an nounced Gov. Lane's election to the Senate, the new senator elect, wno nail been present during the election, rose instanter, and handed to the Speaker a communication, which being read, proved to be his resignation of the office of Governor. A resolu tion was imraediatelv passed, that the Sen ate be invited at once into the Hall to attend to the inauguration of Lieut. Gov. Morton as Governor. All this was carried into effect in the course of a half hour, the oath of office being administered by Judge Per kins. Our new Governor made a very brief and appropriate speech, one sentence of which was in these emphatic words ." The people of .the State have been promised reform. That promise we must at all hazards fulfill." ' ! -' M r. Cravens has been, as a sort of matter of course, elected President of the Senate The Standing Committees ot the " nouse have not yet been announced, though per Laps they will be to-day. I do not know the reason of this delay. Probably it is to give the numerous applicants for clerkships a wholesome lesson in patience, and an opportunity, to become better acquainted with the Capital. ' The election of, Trustees for the Asylums is the next most exciting business to be transacted. A change will probably be made ia the superintendence of two of them, and the candidates for the supposed vacancies are legion. When this business is got along with, there will be nothing to hinder tho Legislature from going forward rapidly with its appropriate work. And it is gratifying to see that there .is a good degree ot the workiDg element in the body. A committee was appointed by the Military Convention that met here in June last, to draft a military bill, providing for a reorganization of the militia, and to present the same to the Legislature. That committee has performed its duty faithfully and efficiently, and an excellent bill will come before the Legislature in due time. It is proper to add that this measure has nothing to do with the present disunion troubles. It was originated before those troubles were apprehended, and is simply a necessary piece of legislation ; the present military law being so confused aud indefinite .as to amount to nothing. - A man calling himself Jack SL pard began, at 6 o'clock last evening, the pleasant tnsk of walking 100 consecutive hours in Temperance Hall. I am happy to say that it excites no public interest and will probably be witnessed by few or none of the moral and respectable part of the community. If a man chooses to inflict such barbarity upon himself it appears he bs a right to o eo, so far as the law of the land is concerned. But the exhibition clearly belongs to the class of demoralizing shows. Per contra, we have this week had two splendid lectures from Dr. Youmaus on the " Chemistry of the Stars." lean only sav they .were among the .noblest instances of science popularized. Scribe. IS51Someof the restless spirits of Henderson Knights of the Golden Circle probably not satisfied with the action of the responsible and solid men of Henderson county on the 5th in passing the glorious Union resolutions published, in our D;uly of the 18th have called another meeting, to assemble to-day (the 19th) in order to attempt the passage of resolutions committing Kentucky to secession. N The Reporter the paper that came oat a few days ago strongly for disunion, and wa3 summarily denonnced by the meeting of the 5th for so outraging the loyal, Union-loving people of Hender son county as to misrepresent their sentimentsis out with a long leader urging a large attendance of the people at the meetings. We venture . that- the. Reporter will derive very little satisfaction from the proceedings of the meeting. BL. Morgan Hammond & Jaijuess have just taken in and slaughtered 313 hogs averaging 228 pound3. Such a lot of hogs as this is hard to beat. Petersburg A Hep. Me38fS. Jaquess & Co. of Rvansville have put tip this season 1200 hogs that averaged .220 pounds. XtQm We have been trying for the past ten days to find room for a. communication from New Harmonyj entitled, " Robert Dale Owen find' tho Republicans of New Harmony, but in" consequence of the great precis of telegraphic, legislative, and other important matter on our columns, have been unable to give it a phice. We fear that it will be impossible to do so, but will do our best to'pnblish'it!'1 ' We hope bur " New Harmony friends will not blame us for the omission to publish. In these stirring times we can not find space for one-twentieth of the matter that we ought to publish.B?S'The 17ihof Tnia month was the anniversary of- the birth-day of Benjamin Franklin a day sacred to the memory ;of a wise statesman, a devoted patriot,:s profound, philosopher," and a true' champion of the rights of man.- . -t , . w BfeaJf" A letter from our old friend Add. Sanders, written from. Aurora,, is unavoidably crowded out of to-day's Journal.

! The short, practical, and sensible inaugural address of Gov. Morton will be found in our Legislative Summary. He goes into office as a man would who intends to carry out all the pledges he has made to

the people. Gov. Morton will make one of the best Governors Indiana has ever had. A great many children Lave died of scarlet fever in Jeffersonville within the last week. X. A. Ledger. .
