The American. We present our paper to-day to our readers in its enlarged form. In doing this we are going ahead of the Presses of the couulry, and in advance of the patronage at present received. But we rely on the good will and good seaie of this people. We believe they will sustain us in publishing such a paper.
Our expense is greatly increased, requiring ' feet high.
more paper, more type setting, and increased I The arrangement
editorial labors. We wish however to print a j neatness and economy, with good taste and paper that will be an honor to the White Wa- . fine effect. Mr. May proposes to finish and

The Conrt House. Mr. Edwin May, an Architect of undoubted ability and Artistic taste, has been in our town this week with plans, drawings and specifications for a Court House, which he has laid before our Board of Commissioners now in session. He has with hint the plan of the Shelby ville Court House, now construct ing,and a plan drawn specially forourCounty. The latter Is a two story building six rooms below for offices and jury rooms; and three rooms in the second story one for the Court room, and two small jury rooms. The build

The whig Candidate. The Boston Atlas, the leading; Whig paper of Massachusetts, makes the following calculation of the Whig National Convention. This coming from under Mr. Webster " noie, and the Atlas editor being one of the best politicians In the Union, can
be relied on : Much has beeu said and written of the prospects in the Whig Convention, and estimates have been fabricated to suit the Inclinations of partisans, and to recommend them to favor. Having taken some pains to inform myself on this subject, and without any disposition to disparage the claims of either of the principal candidates. I desire to submit a computation which will bear scrutiny. In this statement votes are conceded to Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster in the Free States, weich are j known to favor Gen. Scott, and which will be found under his standard, at the very start.if the policy should be deemed expedient. The
estimate refers to the first ballot:
Aggiegate votes from Free States. 176 Voles from Slave-holding Stales. 119
will you manifest it? Will you induce your neighbors to take the American, or will you aid in getting np clubs for distant papers? W ill you advertise, or will you continue to do a small picayune business? Will you neglect ns, and take a poor cheap paper from the city, because it will cost a few cents less? Then how will yon manifest your approval of our exertions? Kind words will not
pay our hands, or pay Mr. Bpeer for paper.
We are decidedly In favor of his plan and of
giving him the contract Then every thing will be done right and substantially, neatly and mechanically. Bntif we let it out to the lowest bidder, it will be a botched concern, like the old Court House was, and like some other buildings, we could name. We have specimens of the consequences of letting out work to botches who can underwork good workmen, in adjoining counties. It is an ill

promenading, and politics is the only order of
the day. The Democratic National Convention was called to order this afternoon in the immense hall of the Maryland Institute. Large as the hall is, however, it will not hold all who desire to witness the proceedings. You have, no donbt, received the proceedings by telegraph. The hall is tastefully decorated with flags.

It will be seen, that without drawing on any reserved strength, General Scott could be nominated on the first ballot.

the advertising columns. They find twelve botched in all its parts, and made ot perishable
lawyers and four merchants advertisements,
and three or four other little advertisements of the town. What will be the impression relative to our business? They will think we may have other mechanics and other stores, and shops, but award to them but little spirit and enterprize in business. At Rushville, the papers contain seven columns of their own merchants and mechanics advertisements. At Richmond about 9 or 10 colums of their papers tell what their own people are doing. Other places do the same. But here we have to fill our advertising colums with what other towns are doing, and weekly holding out inducements for the peop'e of the County to go to any other place than Brookville to transact their business. Are you in favor of the prosperity of our tuwn, and an increase in your business, you have a way to manifest your interest in the matter, and aid also in sustaining efforts to
