WEEKLY SENTINEL.

JAKl'ABV tv 18t 'leetlair ! Indiana Democracy The sie its: if, of the Indiana DemiR-rn y. called r the State Central Committee, " in Tiew of the i i-'nwlition of the public aff.iir of the uiiiry," was betd yesterday, January eth, at !-liun Hall. The meeting was larjre, and m -t every county in the Stale was represented iy nirsalu i of the party . At two o'clock, P. M., 1. Palmer, Chairman ot tire State Central muiittee. called the assemblage to order. Col. er said : Fellow Democrats. Notice has been piven Democratic Central Committee of Indiana i meeting of the Democracy in this city on !ie anniversary of the glorious ami brilliant ry obtained by Jackson over the eueniies of ' country at New Orleans. It is a day the , t y of which is cherished with patriotic emnevery Democrat and friend of his country !iot the United States. Whatever may hitherto have been the usages the Pw i j in its rty organiiations cr much it may have disciplined and ex i tself through this organization U promul i u own doctrines and peculiar creeds ami i in-, of principles, and while we ignore none i t:ie-e. yet I apprehend that this convention it em it apjiropriate, on this occasion, to waive It action in relation to the peculiar interests of i tv ami its organization, as heretofore it i ! Ieen the usage of the party, in its conven:is. My friends, the present is a perilous and gloomy -1 in the political affairs of the country. The d horizon is beclouded with sombre and . itous forebodings, threitening the most dire onitT to our beloved country. The dissolution ..! disMnegration of these United States and the action of this glorious Union seems to be it hand; it is now even at our doors, while dick of the electric intelligence is daily . tig to our ears additional evidence of the . -.t this ipirit of defection and tendency ; ae fatal result. In a cri-n j alarming, is there no remedy? are re uo mentis of staying the maddened fury of -sion? Caa not reason and patriotism be in i . and a reassurance of peace awl harmony gam gladden the hearts of our people? I yet iraa faint hope that such a happy result in i v -jompliabed. But it is manifest that this de 'e end can not be attained by crimination ami e.vhniaalkia. It must be produced, if at all. by concession and compromise; by yielding hat bv both extremes. For one, I am willful will cheerfully forego a long-cherished tor the good of the country to save the rj from a fratricidal and unnatural war. Let this convention, then, in giving expression Id views on the preset t momentous crisis, e-it such a spirit of harmony, concession aud meord as will produce hope with the couservac everywhere, and that shall be like oil poured !i the troubled waters. It if hardly nece-isary that the :re-ent Constitution of the L nite 1 . . 1 T t . . i .ne result ot compromise, c nuer uns we have, as a nation, enjoyed a deing and prosperity which has not its the lace ot the earth. Let us not, tir in this grave and solemn hour ;loom which at present overshadtlie laad; but by a kind. Internal ami conrv spirit, and by the aid of a good Provicherish the hope that ere long our country enter i:e from these troubles and embarrassta, and again present a united and happy peoCot Palmer moved that Gov. Hammond be to preside over the meeting, which was -en to preside ov 1 by acclamation. Gov. Hammond came i ward and was received with loud and continued : ---'ring. got. Hammond's srci.cn.

Belonging, as I do, to a party North wbo are true to the Constitution, who rue to the enforcement of the law-, who are ' the constitutional rights of every State in Union, and who are as true to this Union as eile is to the pole. Cheers. I say be : .ng to a party like this in the North, it is no I honor, when they meet in convention, to be e 1 upon to preside over their deliberations. 'Iv fellow citizens, what has brought us to - her? The country is in danger.

Why is that there is any portion of the States of this . uioB aheee people are disposed to secede to oat of this great confederacy of States? Is no cause for it? Has there anything trans 1 in the North calculated to produce this ex. tit and disquiet? We all well know that : e is too much to complain of in the North i the part of our Southern brethren. We all iow that the discussion of the slavery question r the last twenty -five years has been calculated mtm insecure, if not destroy, their right of o party in that species which makes up nineis of the wealth of the people of the South Utann. It is this anti-slavery sentiment which ;een swelling and swelling in the North until has produced these results. It is true it has a gradual. It is not now what it was twenty ago. I appeal to you, older citizens of the Go back with me in the history of this i for fifteen or twenty years and look what en the change. When these anti-slavery lec- - (Kissed through the State for the purpose of iiteniug the people, they met with no favor, ft euer met with rotten eggs than anything But traveling down these latter years, you . i u;iun everv stump has been preached the tor which these outrages were lecturers; and we find a part v !ie land one that has power now in the State -throwing up their hats and saying " huzzah," .. a this same doctrine is advocated. '.Vila has been the effect of this change of sen meat? The knowledge of it has not been conto the free Stales alone. It has been carthe breeze to our Southern brethren, and have witnessed the change with sorrow. It -swept into the Southern States and the knowl- " 'if it is not alone confined to the master. It w retched the slave, and produced a state of : -.-! there that requires the citizens, even in the I districts, to perform the duty of putrid to tuat species of property. Then, I say, it not strange there should be this excitement, int. gentlemen of the convention, this state . ugs is upon us. We have heard of disunion ad we come here to counsel together as citizens I baa State. We come to counsel and place arse; v es upon the record, so that the balance of Union may know the position of the Democaf Indiana. I will not predict, but if I were venture the prediction, when this convention oken I trust it will be in farör of maintain lot Union as it is. Applause. I trust and sieve that it will be so, and that they will place lemselves upon the record in favor of maintain ! the constitutional rights of every State in tha ion, Cheers. I trust that they will place -elves upon the record in favor of viewing - -i t very questhm as apolitical question, and as a moral question continued cheering id that you will say, after having viewed it as a i ll question after having gone to the U n : ition and the laws to determine what property that as citizens of Indiana you will protect a species as wall as another.' Loud and re : cheering There is nothing in my humble judgment which ever to bring peace and harmony to this counnothing that will create that kindly feeling I eh marked the early history of this country change takes place in the political seatii the North. We must look to this ques not as a moral question. Too many in the rM have been taught from the pulpit that avery is wrong and that slaveholders are crimi als, and they go out in the political field not erelv as politicians hut christians, creating this a-'.tomenc. It is time, I say, that we should be satisfied th the Constitution and laws as given to us. Applause. When we shall have convinced the jth that their property is secure that their ,'hto in the common property of the Territories .all be regarded in other words, that they shall oseesa the ma rights in them that we claim for r-eives; then, and not till then, will there be a in heart and sentiment between the North I South. It is time Indiana should take her poi m and puce herself in that attitude, so the ' ithern States mas know that Indiana, at least, true to the Constitution and true to their rights roperty. Applause 1 believe that nothing that can be done by this i v ention, or by the convention of any one State i the Union, or that could be done by the unite.' of Congress, can save this Union. I be that there are certain extreme Southern tates determined to secede and take a seperate n. In my judgment there is hut one hope and that is' that the border free and slave es shall speak out upon this subject. They a each other. Their sons and daughters min - ether day by day, and when the people of ler stave Mates lose a negro when one i into our State and is stolen when they en their books to charge it up, thev charge the i to some Abolitionist that stole it. Cheers. wu go South this manner of viewing such - changes. Let one of the cotton States lose -T . and thev charge it to the entire North, why is this?' Baeaaae the people of the ex "ne North and South do not know each other tier. We of the border States are better ar-

.f the

quainted; they understand the sentiments of their brethren in the North well enough lo know that the larger majority of at least tin. Imnler free States weuld go as far to protect iheir slave property ae they would themselves, applause My hope is that by taking this position in the Union, and other free Suites doing the same, a covention of the bonier States may be held, ami that we, by our action in that border convention, may cause fanaticism at the North and fanaticism at the South to pause ami consider their course cheers, ami, by a possibility, we may by that means be enabled to settle the un happy difference between the North ami South, and save the Lest government in the world from the horrors of disunion ami civil war. I will not, gentlemen of the convention. detain you. A committee will lie appointed, and they will present to you the position which we deem it due the Democracy of Indiana to take, in order that the people of this government may know

that Indiana is unmistakably a I nion -loving State. Mr. McDonald moved the appointment of one Vice President from each Congressional district, which prevailed, and the President requested gen tlemen from the several districts to designate those they desired to assume that duty. The following gentlemen were nominated and ;i proved, and came forward and took their seats on the stand : First District Richard Owen, of Posey county. Second District A. M. Black. Orange county Third District J. F. Carr. of Jackson county. Fourth District A. B. Line, of Franklin countv. Fifth District Jere. Smith, of Randolph county. Sixth District J. Hendricks of Shelby county. Seventh District A. Johnson, of Putnam countv. Eighth District James Odell. Carroll county Ninth District Norman Eddy, of St. Joseph county. Tenth District I. D. G. Nelson, of Allen county. Eleventh District Andrew Jackson of M idi son county. J.J. Bingham, of Marion, was chosen Secretary, and A. E. Drapier, C. J. Barker and N. B. Risinger, assistants. On motion of Hon. T. A. Hendricks a com mittee of one from eich Congressional District was a; :ite 1 to report resolution expressive of the meeting. Tlie President constituted the committee as follows, naming Mr. Hendricks as chairman: First Di-trict J. P. Edson, of Tosey county. Second District II . Heft'ren, of Washington j county. Third District Smith Jones, of Bartholomew county. Fourth Distrrct J. V. Uemusdaffer, of Dc ; catur county. Filth District W. W. Frybarger, of Fayette countv. Sixth District Thomas A. Hendricks, of Marion county. Seventh District H. K. Wilson, of Sullivan county. Eighth District L. B. Stockton, of Tippecanoe county. Ninth District John C. Walker, of Laporte ; county. Tenth District Pliny Hoagland, of Allen county. Eleventh District J. R. Slack, of Huntington countv. The committee then retired, and the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald being loudly called for came forward and addre-sed the meeting in a speech of, great power and eloquence. A full report of this 1 speeeh is not to be had, to be embodied in these proceedings, but it i- hoped that it will le published, that its noble sentiments may reach every part of the State. Mr. McDoDild repelled the charge that the Republicar party had been misrepresented bv the Northe 1 Democracy, and to prove that it had not, he read the following resolutions from the various platforms adopted by the sectional organizations. The Buffalo convention in 143, that nominated Birney for President, adopted the following: Resolved, That the fundamental truths of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pur suit of happiness, was made the fundamental law of our National Government, by that amendment of the Constitution which declares that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Resolved, That the General Government has, under the Constitution, no power to establish or continue slavery anywhere, and therefore that all treaties and acts of Congrats establishing, continuing or favoring slavery in the District of Coltim bia, in the Territory of Florida, or on the high seas, are unconstitutional, and all attempts to hold men as property within the limits of exclusive national jurisdiction, ought to le prohibited by law. The Van Buren convention in 14 adopted the following: Resolved, That our fathers ord; ined the Constitution of the United States in onler. among other great national objects, to establish jupromote the general welfare, ami secure the blessings of liberty; but expressly denied to the Fed eral Government, whu-h they created, all coantj tutional power to deprive any jierson of life, liberty or property, without due legal proceas. Resolved, That in the jndgment of this Convention, Congress has no more power to make a slave than to make a king; no more power to in stitutew.establish sli very fhan to institute or etablish s monarchy; no such power can be found among those specifically conferred by the Oonsti tunon, or derived by just implication from them Remlretl, That it is the duty of the Federal Government to relieve itself from all responsibility for the existence or continuance of slavery wherever the Government posfC-e-constitutional authority to legislate on that subject, and it is thus responsible for its existence. Resolved. Tint the true, and in the judgment j of this convention, the only safe means of pre- ; venting the extension of slavery into territory now free, is to prohibit its extension in all such territory by an act of Congress. The Republican convention in 1K"6, Resolved, That with our republican fathers we hold it to be a self-evident truth, that all men are endowed with the inalienable rights to life, libertv and the pursuit cf happiness, and that the primary object ami ulterior designs of our Federal Government were to secure these rights to all persons within its exclusive jurisdiction; that, as our republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, ordained that no person should be deprived of life, liberty or protertv without due process of law, it becomes our dutv to maintain this provision of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it for the purpose of establishing slavery in any territory of the United States, bv positive legislation, prohibiting its existence or extension therein. That we deny the authority of Congress, of a Territorial Legis lature, of any individual or association of individuals, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the Unite! State, while the present Constitution shall be maintained. The Chicago convention adopted as their eighth resolution the following: Resolved, That the normal condition of all the territory of the United States is that of freedom : That as our republican fathers, when they had abolished slavery in all our national territory, ordained that "no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property, without lue process of law," it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such legislation is necessary, to maintain this provsiion of the Constitution against all attempts to violate it; and we deny the authority of Congres. , of a Territorial Legislature, or of any individual-, to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States. If the Republican party has been niisrepreeanted it has misrepresented itself by professing one thing and believing another. If there was any conservatism in the Republican party he would be glad to know it. If this crust of Abolitionism which surrounds its organization contains any Union and conservative element within it, let it burst forth and manifest itself in favor of the preservation of the Union. Thousands, he be lieved, had taken part with sectionalism innocent of any thought of the danger involved. The constitutional provision requiring the fugitive to be given up had leen trampled under foot. That constitutional bond ought to lie observed to the letter. Since the inauguration of the ,-ectional policy it had gone forth as the leading idea ol that party that slavery should lie limited to its present liounds that it should be surrounded bv a cordon of free States, until it should fall by its own weight No compromise of existing difficulties is possible without an abandomeiit of that proposition. The Southern States could not, in safety to themselves, admit the principle, although they might not be effected this year or next, or in ten years, yet the time would come w hen human ity itself would demand an outlet. The hope for the perjietuity of the Union stood only in a better guarantee that this constitutional bond shall be carried out, ai d in the assurance of the equality of rights of the- States in the common Territories. There was nothing to be exectcd m . , it . p , , l : i ..r , irom tne aunerenis oi me vinc.i:;o piauorm. tie ' .. kAnA iv. '.. ..... i -., t i i' A alAntAnl t I ... r. ...... 1 llUjl,.

line and the channel of the Ohio river. The intensity of feeling, of heat, of provocation in crei.-ed as one receded from this line North and South. The zeal of the fanatic i-in was ,w proportion, in fact, to the absence of the knowledge in the merits of the question in issue. He referred to the common sufferings and sacrafiees in these bonier States, to confirm his mind in the hope of the Union he saw here. He would take no part in amis to make inroad upon the institutions of Kentucky. Kentucky and Indiana had been brothers in other days. Kentucky had proved to us an elder brother. In our infancy her shield had been over us to .-hieltl us in our hour of danger. On the battle field of Tippecanoe, her sons had inscribed the brightest page upon our history their best blood had watered this consecrated soil, and their bones still lie mouldering in its dust, and if the day ever comes that Kentucky and Indiana should be aliens to each other, if he were a Kentuckian he would ask to visit these shores once more, not as an armed host, but in the funeral garb, and gather from the battle fields td Indiana the liones of her patriotic dead, and bury them on a friendly soil where they could rest in peace. He would take no part in such a war, hffl iog, of course, never to lie called upon for such a service. While our immediate Southern biethrea were dealing with their turbnltnt brethren i ii ther South to restrain them, we should re-train the madness of the fanaticism of those farther North. Smith Carolina was not alone in the feeling that had led to her separation; and whenever she mignt be touched by the hand of coercion, the rights of all the Southern States would be touched in a ital part. The general desolation following such aa attempt would leave but charred remains, but dead coals and ashes of our common hopes and of national greatness. Hon. Norman Eddy followed Mr. McDonald in a thrilling and patriotic speech. He agreed w ith Mr. McDonald that the North had been aggi e--i e, and had creitel in them the bitter feeling that now excited them. He did not despair of the Re public. The Union must be pre-erved but it must and could only be done by justice and by granting to each section their full and equal rights in the Confederacy. If Sjuth Carolina was tobe coerced, Massachusetts must be coerced to. If one Federal heel ground the erring sister of the South, the other must crush the sinner in the North. The Union, if saved, must be saved by the liorder States, w ho knew each other and whose nterests w ere more nearly allied thru any other of the members of the family. Mr. Eddy said after eloquently reviewing the intimate relations of the two States that he could not and would not strike a dagger to the heirt of a Kentuckian. Mr. Eddy gave way to the Committee on Resolution, which returned to the hall while he was speaking, and by their Chairman, Mr. Hendricks, reported as follows the first, gecond, third and fourth resolutions were offeiel by Mr. Hendricks: the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth by Col. J. C. Walker, and the ninth by Col. Horace Heffreu: The Democracy of the Suite of Indiana, assembled at this time in pursuance to usage, and upon the call of the Chairman of the State Central Committee, to consider of public affairs, and to assume and make know n their position thereon; in view of the fact that the jie.ice, prosjierity and happiness of the people are endangered the harmony of the States disturbel and the continuance of the Federal Union itself threatened by fanatical doctrines and revolutionary conduct; and also in view of the fact that in no portion of the country have the people a larger interest in maintaining friendly relations w ith all sections, and in preserving the political institutions as we now enjoy them, than the people of Indiana: Resulted, That it is the highest aim aud most imperative duty of patriotism and philanthropy to preserve the union of the States in its integrity and maintain the Federal compact in its spirit ; and that, in consideration of the true ititeie-ts of Indiana, as well as fidelity to the Union, it is demanded that we u.-e all means and exert every power to defeat the purposes of those whose spirit ami acts endanger the one or impair the other. 2. That experience has shown that the slavery question is a disturbing element in our institu lions, and that its consideration by Congress only brings dissension and discord, and can not re-ult in any complete aud final adjustment; and therefore we did agree to .and support that declaration of doctrine made by the Democratic Nation il Coiiven tion of If? 56, non interference by Congress with slavery in State and Territory, or in the District of Columbia;" and thereby we understood the entire subjict of slavery to be w ithdraw n from Congress and referred to the tieople for their decision

that the principle so agree! to was in accordance with the spirit of the Constitution and as we believe wise and exjiedient that it was "the basis of the compromise of lf?50, confirmed bv lith the Democratic and Whig parties in national conventions, ratified by the people in the election in 1 ". .', and rightly applied to the organization of the Territories in If 54," and again ratified by the people in the election of lr-56; and in respect thereto we repeat the sentiment of our platform of 156, that by the uniform application of this domocratic principle to the organization of Territories and to the admission of new State-, with or without domestic slavery as they may elect, the ejual rights of all the States will be preserved intact, the original compacts of the Constitution main tained inviolate, and the perpetuity and expansion of this Union insured to its utmost capacity of embracing, in peace and harmony, every future American State that may be constiV&d or annexed, with a republican form of government." .'J. That, whereas, a sectional party based upon sentiments of hostility towards the institutions of the Southern States, lias triumphed, and in consequence the sections of our country stand in hostile position, i.pon the verge of disunion and civil war; and. whereas, the most dire calamities must be fa I our country unless the sectional differences are s,ieedily and projerly adjusted; and although we have unabated confidence in the doctrine of non-intervention, in it wisdom aud justice, yet to save the Union and avoid the troubles now threatening the country, we are willing to make any concession consistent with generosity, justice, and honor, and that we will accept and earnestly support any me isure of adjustment that is fair iu its terms, und that will, by constitutional provisions, forever remove the shivery question from the field of federal politics ami legislation, and that will in plain terms define and fix the rights of the sections touching the institution of domestic slavery; and because we lielieve that it w ill attain these ends, and because we lielieve that the Union must be preserved by the united action of the bonier and conservative State-, and becau e it comes from a border State of great influence in the Confederacy, and is understood to be acceptable to the conservative sentiment of the country, we accept the propositions presented to the United States Senate by the Hon. John J. Crittenden of Kentucky. 4. That while it is the duty of the Federal Executive to maintain the o--c--i"ii and control of the public property, und execute the laws; yet in the discharge of that duty the highest considerations touching the material and moral pros perity of the country require that bloodshed and civil war be avoidel; that the Union is to be preserved, if at all, by the cultivation of fraternal affection among the people of the different sections, and by the maintenance of equal and exact justice. Upon this subject w e adopt the language of that greit statesmen and pure patriot, Andrew Jackson, who, lookiug forward with prophetic vision to scenes of dissension that now unhappily surround us, said : "If such a struggle is once begun, and the citizens of one section of the country are arraved iu arms against those of another, in doubtful conflict, let the battle result as it may, there will be an end of Union, and with it ends the hopes of freedom. The victory of the injured would not secure to them the blessings of liberty; it would avenge their wrongs, but they would themselves share in the common ruin. " But the Constitution can not be maintained, nor the Union preserved, in opposition to public feeling by the mere exertion of the coercive power confided to the General Government. The foundation must be laid in the affections of the people, in the security it gives to life, libertv, property and character in every qu irter of the country, and the fratermd attachment which the citizens of the several States War to one another as members of one political family, mutually contributing to promote the happiness of each other. Hence the citizens of every State should studiously avoid everything calcula ed to wound the sensibilities or offend the just pride of the people of other States; and they should frown upon every proceeding within their own liorders likelv to disturb the tranquility of their political brethren in other portions of the Union. "Motives of philanthropy may be assigned for this unwarrantable interference, and weak men may persuade themselves that they are laboring in the cause of humanity . and asserting the rights of the human race; but every one upon solier re flection, will see that nothing but mischief can come from these improper assaults uhii the feel ings and rights of others. Rest assured that the men found engaged in this work of discord are not worthy of your confidence and deserve your strongest reprobation." 5. That, if Congress shall fail to adopt the measures proposed by the Senator from Kentucky, or measures of like effect, or to call a Convention of the States to revise the Constitution, then we recommend that the lonler slaveholding and non slaveholding States, by an election of the people thereof, appoint delegates to a Convention w hich shall, if possible, devise measures that may adjust existing difficulties, and reu- ite the disaffected sections. 6. That we lielieve a large majority of the people of Indiana are conservative; that a portion of them have been mislead by the leaders of the Re publican party, into the belief that no danger could result to the Union by the triumph of a mt tional organization, that we have confidence now in the willingness of our people to mete out justice to e cry State, and, to this end, we recommend that meetings lie held in every county, and reo

Unions adopted advising conciliation and couecs sion upon our members of Congress. 7. That if civil war shall result from the ag gressive policy of the Republican party, the rash counsels of Southern statesmen, or by the impol itic and unwise exercise of coercive power on the part of the Federal Government, it would become the dutv of Indiana, bound, as her citizens are, to the North and the South, by ties of consanguinity and commerce, to act, with other conservative States, as a mediator betw een the contending factions. 8. That, as patriots, we should never despair of the Republic; that whatever we do amid the difficulties that environ the country, should be enacted with the intent of preserving the Union,

'or. if its parts become severed. of reconstructing (it; and, that iu tlie envent of the failure of Con gress to effect it speedy settlement ol tending difficulties, it would become the duty of the Leg islaturc, now about to convene, to provide by Uw for a convention of the cople of this State, to the end that delegates may be appointed to a con vention of the bonier States, ami the position authoritatively declared which Indiana shall as sunie in the perilour crisis. 9. That Indiana has ever been faithful to the re quiremeuts of the Federal Constitution, and wereel with indignation the charge that her statute liook has ever lieen soiled with person il liberty bills, or any similar enactments, intended to nullify, thwart, impede, or, in any manner, obstruct the enforcement of the fugitive slave law or any other law of the United State-. R. J. Ryan, Esq., offered the following resolu tions as an amendment, or additional to the report of the committee : Resolred, That while we, a portion of the Dc mocraey ol" Indiana, have diflered among ourselves during the past three years, in regard to the policy and administration of President Buchanan, nevertheless, we now cordially and unanimously endorse and applaud the firm stand he has taken in defence of the Union and the laws of the land. Resolred, That we hail with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction the overwhelming majority l which the gallant conduct of Major Anderson I has been sustained in the popular branch of the i American Congress. The propositions were referred to the Commit- ' tee on Resolutions. After consultation by the ; committee they w ere reported back to the meeting with the recommendation that they be laid on the table. The report of the committee was adopted. I The sentiment of the meeting was decidedly averse to considering resolutions of a personal character, i complimenting individuals for having done what was, or what was conceived to be their duty, as it , would have ipeneJ the door for a multitude of similar compliments to others and thus have caused discord, instead of harmonious action as to the policy of Indiana and the couutry in the present crisis. The meeting was not culled to pass upon the merits of individuals, but the bc:t me. ins of prserving the integrity of the Government. Mr. Hendricks, in response to loud calls from all parte of the house, spoke to the resolutions reportel by the committee. He said he had no pride of opinion that he would not freely and cheerfully offer as a sacrifice on tiie altar of his country. His belief was that non-intervention was the liest policy, but the Democracy had fought the battle and h id been dele Mod on that platform, ann now it was for all patriotic men who loved their country above and beyond party to accept j any proposition that did not discard principle i that would bring peace to the country. He reJ viewed the territorial policy since lv(l,and passed a glowing eulogium uikiii Mr. Crittenden, who had thrown himself into liebreich, aud he called ' upon Indiana to second Kentucky in her effort- to maintain the Union. If the Uuion should dissolve and the St ite? be thrown back upon their sovereignty, his allegiance was due and would be given to Indiana. At the conclusion of Mr. Hendricks' speech, I the original resolutions were unanimously adopted. The following resolution, by Mr. N. B. Risinger. was then adopted : Resolved, That a copy of the-e resolutions be sent to each of our Senators and Representatives ; in Congress, and to each of the Senators and ; Representatives in Congress of the S Hthcrn i States. A resolution by Mr. McDonald authorizing the i publication of the proceedings of the meeting in i the fndinna State Sentinel, signed by the officers, and reuesting Democratic papers to copy them, was then adopted, after which the meeting adjournel.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The AvaijGamatios or Lasoi ares. There is a growing temlenry in this aare to appropriate the most expretve words of other lauiruajre. and after a while to incorporate them Into our own: ihu the word Cephalic, which Ip from the Greek, signifying "for the head," is now becoming pop- I ularized in connection with Mr. Spalding'- great Headache j remedy, but it will soon be ued in a more general way, and the word Cephalic will become as common as Klectrotype and many others whose distinction as foreign words I has been worn aw.iy by common usage until they hcein "native and to the manor born." 'arttly Realized. He 'ad 'n 'orrible 'eadache this haftcnioon. hand I siepped into the hapolhec;irie- art-1 says hi to the man, "('.in you hease me of an 'e ad ache?" "IXies it hache anl," i-ays 'e. "Hexceeiiingly," says hi, hand upon that 'e gave rae a Cephalic Pill, hand 'jion me 'onor it cured nie o quick that I 'urdly realized I 'ud an 'cadache. Headache is the favorite sign by which nature makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain, and viewed in tlii- light it may he looked on as a safeguard intended to give notio- of disease which might otherwise e-cape attention, till too late to be remedied; ami its indications should never lie neglected. Headaches may le cla-sitieil under two nanu s, viz: Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common, and it is the precursor of a gieat variety of disease, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile diseases. In it-nervous form, it is sympathetic of dise i f the stomach constituting Ktcfr hemhn If, of hepatic disease, constituting bitioui heiuUwhe, of worms, constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches; Aua-mia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of nerr tim henitaehe, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of temper. In most instances the pain iu the front of the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting; under Ibis class may also be named Xrurnhjin. For the treatment of either class of Headache .the Ce phalic Pills have been found a sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by this subtle power eradicating the diseases of which headache is the unerring index. Ratnr.rT. Mlsus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic Glue, :io, a bottle of Prepared Pills but I'm thinkin : that's not Just it naither but erhaps ye'll be afther knowing what it ia. Ye see she's nizhdead and gone with the Sick Headache, aud wants seme more of that same as relieved her before. Irutiitt. You niii-t mean Spahl ng's Cephalic Pills. Uritttft. Och! sure now and you've sed it, here's the quarther, and give me the Pills and don't be all day about it aither. Constipation or Co? iveneaa. No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is so prevalent, so little unders'ood, and so much neglected as Costiveness. Often originating in carelessness or sedentary habit, it is regarded a- a slight disorder of too little consequence to excite at-xiety, while in reality it is the precursor and cotnpanh n .o many of the most fatal and dangerous diseases, and unless early eradicated, it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costivene.-s is theuual attendant are Headache. Colic, Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a long train of friehtful diseases, such a- Malignant l evers, Abcese. Dy-entary, Diarrhea. Dyspepsia. Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralvsi, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indicate their presence in the system by this alarming symptom. Sot utifreqiiently the diseases named oririnate in Constipation, but take on an independent existence unless the cause is eradicated in an early stage. From all these considerations it follows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect to (jet a box of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance of the complaint, as their timely use will expel the insiduous approaches of ducas and destroy this dangerous foe to humau life. A Real Blessing. Fhysician.VitW, Mrs. Jones, how is that headache? Mi, .lout. Gone, Doctor, all gone! the pill you sent cured me iu just twenty minutes, and I wish you would send more so that I can have them handy. Ppicin. You can get them at any Druggists. Call for Cephalic Pills, I find they never fail, and 1 recommend them in all cases of Headache. Mr. Jone. I shall send for a box directly, and shall tell all my suffering friends, for they are a real Utssing. TwüüTT Mit.Moss or Dollars Saved. Mr. Spalding has sohl two millions of bottles of his celebrated Prepared Glue, and it is estimated that each bottle saves at least ten dollar- worth of broken furniture, thu making an aggregate of twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from total los by this valuable invention. Having made this Glue a household word, he now proposes to do the world still greater service by curing all the aching heads with bia Cephalic Pill-, and if they are as good as bis Glue, Headaches will soon vanish away like snow in July. Fact wobth K.xowixc. Spalding's Cephalic Pills ara a certain cure for Sick neadache, Billious Headache, Nervous Headache, Coslivencsa and General Debility. $kif O'er excitement, and the mental care and anx -iety incident to close attention to business or study, are among the numerous causes of nervous headache. Tlie disordered state of mind and body incident to thisdistressirjg complaint is a fatal blow to all energy and ambition. Sufferers by this disorder can ala - i-tam ! r.-l ! from these di-tressing attacks by using one of the Cephalic Pills whenever the symptoms appear. It quiets the overtasked brain and soothes the strained and Jarring nerves, and relaxes the tension of the stomach which alf ways accompanies and aggravates the disordered con dition of the brain. Great Dnrovm. Among the moat important of 11 the great medical discoveries f this age may be considered the system of vaccination for the protection from Small Pox, the Cephalic 1111 for the relief of Headache, and the use of Quinine for the prevention of fevers, either of which is a sure specific, whose benefits will be exjierienced by suffering humanity long after their discoverers are forgotten. Did vou ever have the Sick Ileadsrhe? Do v-u remember the tbrobl init temples, the fevered brow, the loitbing and the disju -t at the so-h' of f-Ksl. How totally unfit you were for pleasure, conversation or study. One of the Cephalic Pills would have relieved you from all the suffering which you thf n experienced. For this and other purposes you should always have a box of thein un hand to use as occasion required. -o-taC.Ca.rI ov CURE NervousHeadache -s7, CURE Ry th" use of the-e Pills the periodic attacks of Xrrrou or Sick feitilin-Ae may be prevented: and if taken at the commencement of an attack immediate relief from pain and sickness will be obtained. They seldom fail in removing the Nausea and Headache to which females are o subject. They art gently upon thcbowcls removingCostiveness. For Literary Men, Student , Delicate Female, and all persons of sedentary habits, they are valuable as a Laxative, improving the appetite, giving tone and vigor to the dige-tive organs, and restoring th- natural elasticity and strength of the whole system. The CEPHALIC PILLS are the re.-ult of long investigation and carefully conducted experiments, having leeii in um' many years, during which time they have prevented and relieved a vast amount of pain and suffering frotr Headache, whether originating in the nervous system I from a deranged state of the stomach.

THESE MEDICINES HAVE NOT BEEN BEFORE the public for a period of thirty years, and during thai time have maintained a high character in almost every part of the globe for their extraordinary and immediate power of restoring perfect health to persons suffering nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable.

FEVERS of all kinds by restoring the blood to a regular circulation through the proce-s of perspiration in such cases ami the thorough solution of all intestinal obstruc tion in others The Life Medicines have been known to cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks, and Gout in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. DROPSIES of all kinds by freeingand strengthening the kidneys ami bladder; they operate most delightfully on these important organ, and hence have ever been f urn! a certain remedy for the worst cases of Gravel.

" CHALYBEATE RESTORATIVE PILLS OF BKOV AN APERIENT AND STOMACHIC PREPARATION OF Iron, purified of Oxygen and Carbon by combustion of Hydrogen sanctioned by the highest medicinal authorities, both iu Europe and the United States, and prescribed in their practice. The expeneuce of thousands daily proves that no preparation of Iron can be compared with it. Impurities of the bbod, depre.s-ion of vital energy, pale and otherwise sickly complexions indicate its necessity in almost every conceivable case. Innoxious in all maladies in which it has been tried, it has proved absolutely curative in each of the following complaints, vii: M Debility, Xerrous 4fectiomt, Emaciation, Ihpejsia, Constipation, Diarrhe't, DysenUry. Incij.ient Consumption, Scrofulous Tu'jcrcutosis, Salt Rheum, Mismtnutrvation, Whilt Chlorotic, Heer Ontijlaint, Chronic Iktirtachf, Rhtvmatism, Intermittent fecers, I'imjJtt ot the lace, drc. In cases of General Debility, whether the result of acute disea-es or of the continued diminution of nervous and mu-ctilar energy from chronic complaints, one trial of this re.-torative has proved successful to an extent which no description or written attestation would render credible. Invalids so long bed-ridden as to have very nearly become entirely forgotten in their om-n neighborhoodshave suddenly re-appeared in the busy world, as ifjus-t returned from protracted travel In a distant land. Some very signal instances of this kind arc attested of female sufferers, emaciated victims of apparent maramu?. sanguineoti- exhaustion, critical changes, and their complication of nervous and dyspeptic aversion to air and exercises for which the ohysician has no name. In Nervous Affections of all kind, and for reasons familiar to medical men. the operation of this preparation of iron must necessarily be salutary, for, unlike the old oxides, it is vigorously tonic, without being exciting or over-heating; and gently, regularly aperient, even in the most obstinate cases of costiveness, without ever being a gastric purgative, or inflicting a disagreeable sensation. It is this latter property, among others, which makes it mi remarkably effectual and permanent a remedy for Piles, upon which it also appears to exert a distinct and specific action, by dispersing the local tendency which forms them. In Dy spepsia, innumerable as are its causes, a single bos of these Chalybeate Pills has often sufficed for the most habitual cases, including the attendsnt costiveness. In unchecked Diarrhea, even when advanced to Dytentary, confirmed, emaciating, and apparently malignant, the effects have been equally decisive and a.-tonfshing. In the local pains, loss of rle-h and strength, debilitating cough, and remittent hectic, which generally indicates incipient consumption, this remedy has allayed the alarm of friends aud physicians in several very gratifying and interestine instance. In Scrofulous Tuberculosis, this medicated iron has had far more than the pood effect of the most cautiously balanced preparation of Iodine, without any of their wellknown liabilities. The attention of females can not be too confidently invited to this remedy and restorative, in the cases peculiarly affecting them. In l.heuniatjsin. both chronic and inflammatory in the latter, however, more decidedly it has been invariably well reported, both as alleviating pain and reducing the swellings and stiffness of the joints and muscles. In Intermittent Fevers it must necessarily be a great remedy and energetic re-torative, and its progress in the new settlements of the West, will prrbably be one of high renown aud usefulness. Xo remedy has ever been discovered in the whole history of medicine, which exetts such prompt, happy and fully re-torative effects. Good appetite, complete digestion, rapid acquisition of strength, with an unusual disposition for active and cheerful exercise, immediately follows its use.

" S'-i-" ton, h u notes mhi reierenecs to juaictai KnrrFD T JAMES GAVIN AND OSCAR B. H0KD Volume 1, Iublished by BIX.II VI a IMM GHTY, IXDIANArXlUS. Judce Darid Hi Donald, aaa f the auat eminent lawyers of the State, volunteered the following , IM ! i I . I . I. . i ftf ft... 11 ..rl Statuts or Ixmaxa. at Gavh A Hoan. Some months ago. the above named gentlemen issued proposals for pub-li-hing, in two volumes octavo of some 800 pages each, all the statutes of the State passed since 1861, with annotations. The first volume of the work is now published: and the maimer of its execution, both mechanically and editorially, deserves the thanks of the profession. The imperfect manner of publishing our statutes under State authority, has always been a source of great inconvenience to the Indiana Lawyer. The revision of ls.VJ. as well as the statutes passed since that year, might almost as well have been published without 'any index. Up to this time the lawyer has constantly been under the necessity of turning over, leaf by leaf, the volumes of our statutes to htHl any particular enactun at knows how annoying and provoking thi And every one is. especially iu lappily for the tne nurry ot business as tn our Conns. Ilapp profession, the publication under consideration Mm a better state of things In the future. The first volume of Messrs. Gavin A Hord's work contains an excellent and copious index, which to every practicing lawver in the State is itself worth the money which the volume cost. The volume under review contains another excellence All its pajre- are supplied with valuable marginal indices, so that a glance at the margin is sufficient to apprise the reader of the contents of the page. Another matter of gTeat importance to the lawver in thi- volume is a good collection of the subjects of all legislation sine. 1K51. Heretofore, the lawyer in examining our legislation on any given subject had 'first to And what was Qplevant to it in the Revision of 1S52, and then to turn over the pages of the volumes of subsequent Statutes, to see how far recent legislation may have repealed or modifled tho provisions contained in that Revision, aud even then he would often feel doubt whether he had found all the legislation on the subject of his inquirv. Messrs. Gavin and Hord have relieved us of all this trouble and doubt. They have collected together in consecutive pages of sll the statutes made since 1M51, on the same subject. Thus, on pages 373 to 377 of their first volume they have collected all our legislation, now in force, on the subject of husband and wife, including the act of 1852 and three acU of 1867. And they have followed the samaflTnode of colocation, in appropriate consecutive pages, in regard to all other topics of legislation. A still more valuable feature are the copious and accurate uotes contained m the volume in question. This volume includes the Constitution of the Cnited States, the Constitution of Indiana, and several important acts of Virginia and statutes of Congress, and a Urge portion of our own statutes now in force. The numerous decisions of the Courts on the various provisions contained in these Constitutions and statutes are found at the bottom of the appropriate pages, iu the form of neat, brief and accurate notes and references. Messrs. Gavin A Hord seem to have performed this part of their work exceedingly well. It must have cost them much care And labor. By it they have greatly lessened the labor of the practising lawyer, and have well merited his grateful approval. In every respect the volume under review i highly creditable to the dilligence. accuracy, talents and the taste o its editors. a well as to the mechanical skill and neatness of its publishers, and it must raise the just expectation of the psafession. as to the value of the second volume, which we understand will be forthcoming in a few months, and which will contain the code of pleading and practice of MB, with subsequent amendments and other statutes. Without any concert with the editors it publishers of the volume in avestion, the writer of this article has been induced to compose and publish this little review of the book, solely because he believes the editors and publishers deserve high commendation for their performance. He, therefore, deem it but just to them, w ithout being solicited to it by any one, to publish this notice of the book, over his own proper name. DAVID McDQNALD. Indianapolis, November 1. 1860.
