To eay that we feel gratified that our endeavors to do right are appreciated by fuch high sources, would be but feebly to express our Jentimeuts. ' Tio'nthe irasMngton Union, INDIANA. This State, once vacillating in her politics, has, for some years past, been as lirrnly united in principle as any State in the Union. During the late presidential canvass, she made a gallant right, and won a glorious victory. In her receut State and congressional elections, she has triumphed, securing, eight out of ten members of Congress, by a popular democratic majority of 6,334, (according to the official returns,) anu the election of a democratic United States Sena

tor showing that", by proper organization," Indiana will never again cast another federal vote. To preserve this boon", which has been, won by so mich labor and exertion, our friends must be unite ! upon principle and if so united, there is no danger of dividing as to men. Let principles be inscribed by the editor of the republican journals at the head of their columns, and not, as yet, the name of any man. In the corning senatorial election, we hope to see a democrat elected by democrats. To do thi, let the claims of all the aspirants be submitted t j a convention, and let the seal of condemnation be placed upon the head of such democrats as adopt the whig rule; "divide and connuer." This" remark will apply with equal force to other States which elect United States Senators this winter. It was not our intention to read a lecture to our republican friends iu Indiana oil tbe subject of their duty ; but seeing a number of names inserted in the "Sentinel," we have felt it our duty to caution Our friends against the destroying effects of division. In Indiana, as well as other States, we hope to see candidates selected according to the usages of the party. If that courfe be adopted, senators having the confidence of the vfhole democracy and of the administration will beehren.- We cannot close this article without expressing our deep regret that an attempt is now being made to establish another democratic paper, with a presidential name already floating at the mast head, at Indianapolis. We are certain no good can grow out of this mea.ure. The Messrs. Chapman, editors of the "Sentinel," commenced the publication of that able and efficient paper when the State seemed almost hopelessly federal. U has been a faithful and efficient "Sentinel '," and, under its auspices, the State has wheeled into the democratic line ; and the establishment of a new paper, upon such a principle, must and will have the effect of dividing our party and distracting our friends: . The prospectus for the new paper, to be styled the ''Indiana Democrat," is now before us. ' It proposes to support the administration cf President Polk, and advocate the doctrines of the Baltimore convention. The riarrie of Lewis' Cas?, of Michigan, will be placed at the head of its columns, as a candidate for the presidency. This, in our humble judgment, is wron, and will give to it the name of a "Cass,! instead of a democratic paper, and tend to creüte jealousies and divisions in the party, without benefitting the distinguished statesman they deign to aid. We have repeatedly said that now is not the time to agitate the question of the succession. We go further, and say at once, frankly, that no better scheme could be devised to injure the prospects of any candidate, than to bring him forward at so early a period. We made this remark to the friend of another distinguished gentleman the other day. And we reneat it here much as we rennect and admire Gen. ' Cass, it is too early in the diy to bring him or any '. man forward. The present administration has just comurrnccd. . ine great principles on wnicli it was l -y-vf hnßn lullt iarriail tut T au TTr Vi VV establish them, before we enter into any struggles, for the succession. We are prepared to iise this lariguage towards the friends of any man (be he who he may,) who is brought thus early into the field. Front the Jejertontan. POLITICAL MYSTERIES. The Chapmans of the Sentinel are publishing a series of articles under the above title. Their object is partially to expose the past political history of our party, in this Stale, and particularly about IndianaJsVt beinr acquainted much with the particular mon they attack, we cannot of our own knowledge, say they do them justice or the contrary.

This 6tate of affairs is changing and ought to be changed. Principles, not otlice should be the ruling motive in political action ; and when such is the case political parties will become distinct and consolidated. A few years ago the "History of the two parties" was published, at a heavy expense, at this office, widely circulated, and was of valuable service. It scattered some good seed. This was succeeded by Whitcomb's powerful pamphlet on the TaritF, followed, up by his and Mr. bright s able speeches on radical pnn ciples, in '43, and now we think the decided, emphatic course or the Uhapmans will rinisli the work. We know democratic politicians of the class spoken of by the Chapmans, who denounced Whitcomb's Taiiii'i 'ti, as uiiia. anu rumu its um; pariv w lieu ii 1 1 j rr i . .i . . iiruTirot I imp nns Khnven thorn tint imp tfr n nrr-l courses are not the best. The ambitious designs of partizans will enter more or less into all our contests for principle. This cannot be helped, and must be endured and corrected as fir as possible ; and candidates must be tanght to wait the general justice of the party to give them preferment rather than look to bargain and irhrigce with opponents; Then will the power of the party be consolidated, its permanency made secure and its principles planted es o'n a tock. From th Ft. Waynt Seniintt. MYSTERIES OF INDIANAPOLIS. The State Sentinel is progressing with the development of the Political Mysteries of our capital. So far, its attention has been chiefly directed to the 4 Morrison family '' in general and A. F.- Morrison in particular. It certainly makes out a very strong case against these worthies; end if -we have had many such traitors in the camp, it is a wonder how we have succeeded in regenerating our State ; nothing but the indomitable energy and perseverance of the People the rank and file of our party could have accomplished such a triumph. We liope the Sentinel will continue its labor, and ehow up the remainder of the Junto of Old Hunkers in the same striking colors. They have long been an incubus on our party, and deserve no favor. - The State Sentinel copies our paragraph in which the appearance of the firt No. of the ' Mysteries," and regretted that onr friends of the State Sentinel had not earlier taken such a stand ) it also copies a similar notice from the Goshen Democrat, and in reply explains the motives which actuated it in pursuing the course it did towards the Hunkers. It admits from the first it was aware of the sinister influence this junto were exercising, and the injury they were doing to the Democratic cause ; but at that time the Whigs being all powerful in the State; the Democrats discouraged and disheartened by the tornado of 1S40 ; it was thought best by the Sentinel to direct all the energies against the common enemy, rather than run the risk of appearing to have dissensions in our ranks. Now the case is d. Cerent. We have met the enemy and they are ours now is the time to rid the hive of the drones who have so long futtcned on the honey of the industrious bees, whose labor instead of aiding they have done so much to impede. The Sentinel further lament that the false position in. which it was pheed should have induced us to misapprehend its real posTtjotsy and also' lÄd it to misconceive ours, and thus aid the seTfish schemes of the hunkers. We feel satisfied with the1 explanations of our friends the Chapmans ; they have now seen the dan ger of even appearing to be under the control of any 1

clique or junto, and will, we make no question, hereafter act like faithful Sentinels, and give the first alarm on the first appearance of treason or dissatisfaction in in our camp. It is as necessary to guard against internal as external foes. Fron Ike Elton Ö Dcmf'tat. Indiana State Sentinel. In whatever light this paper may be viewed, but more especially as an advocate of Dem'wratic principles, it is surely one among the very best now published iu the WeU We regret, therefore, to fee an attempt being made to break it down, or so cripple it as to destroy its usefulnessby the establishment of another ostensibly Democratic press at the Capital; Surely there can be no ood reason for euch a movement, arid surely the Democracy cf Indiana cannot be induced to lend themselves to its accomplishment.

ben. Cass needs no such aid as is proposed by the" new adventurer, and although we know nothing personally whatever of Mr. Morrison, the intended Editor, we feel fpi'.te inclined to suspect the Democracy of any man who would thus turn his arms against so able an advocate of the cause wnich he professts himself lo espouse. The f.llwirVj extracts from private letters we take the liberty of laying before our readers. The writers never intended them for publication : but assailed as we have been, even by frimJs not fully aware of our true position, it eeeins to us necesarjr to avail ourselves cf every legitimate mede cf defence so far as the latter are concerned ; merely Mating that the persons who bate favored us with their encouraging wishes rank high in the Democratic party. So far as our political opponents arc concerned, we have c'nly to say that thet will always find us with our anr.or oü. False and hypocritical rascals will find that we have a "side lick" or so to spare. Teree IlAUTESept. 19, 1945. Friexd8 Chapman's : I send you enclosed $ to pay my subscription to the Sentinel for the current volume. I have shown Morrison's prospectus to some of our strongest Cass men, but they say the "Democrat" would only do harm, and that if Gen. Cass Is nomi nated they know you will support him is warmly as any one; I hive not heard a man expresi himself in favor of the project of a new democratic paper at your place. The opposition to it seems to be unanimous. This is not owing to any ill feeling towards Mr. Morrison, but only to the universal belief that a new paper, un der the present circumstances, can only do harm. Friend S. is getting up a club of fifty subscribers for the Sentinel. You may expect to hear from him soon. Be sure that the well tried democracy of Vigo wil never desert our faithful chanticleer. Truly your friend, G. T. S. Our good friend Wm. Wines died last night. Washington Citt, Sept. 16, 1S45. Dear Cjtapmans : Allow me to assure you, my dear sirs, that every thing which my feeble influence can do to assist your valuable paper ! will be done. Your course meets with the approbation of the entire party here, and there is but one feeling iu regard to the effort to divide us made by certain selfish milk and cider democrats in indjarta an(j that feeling is one of unqualified con tempt. You have no doubt, ere this, read the remarks . ...... . . .. j of the "Union upon the subject. Let your guiding star be Frinciple, your actions bold and fearless, and the true democracy will never falter in your support Please accept my best wishes, The latest news here is, that the "Mexicans are on the verge of an internal war ; and that there is no pros pect of an attack upon Texis or the U. S. E. .C Doran of Knox county, Ind. is appointed Purser in the Navy. Your friend, E. The Succession. We have noticed considerable bustle, of late, among our political friends, relative to the 6ucces Jion of Mr. Folk. The name of Gen. Cass has been placed at the head of a paper at Lawrencebnrgh, ycleped " Political Beacon" and stands forth the conditional watchword of the Democracy around which to rally in the struggles of '49. Should Cass be tl choice of the majority of our politica friends, we shall be much gratified prior to the convention of '44 we were anxious thst we might have a western candidate ; and were equally' solicitous that the lot might fall on Gen Cas. But we are by no means ro selfish, and fearful of being late in hoisting our colors, as to commence to prate about the qualifications, popularity and claims of a favorite for office, years before there is a vacancy in the station to which we propose to elevate him. Were we cficlowcd with the intrepidity of a Maior, the brilliant acumen of a Lawyer, or sagacious tact ot an experienced political juggler, we might think otherwise. As far as the claims of Gen Cass bear upon the coming contest for the Presidency, we look upon these early demonstration?, in placing his nartfe forward for that office, as ill calculated to promote his claims, lo be honest about the matter, the cock that crows for him, now, is not a chanticleer in whom we have an overly great degree of confdence : if his mas ters were certain of sharing the spoils he would be very savage if not, he would be quite tame. Brookxille Uemocrat We expect to' have some of these men asserting, one of these days, that the Democratic party has left them and theV remain unchanged. It has been done ociore now ; ana men you nna mem acting witn the ' federal whigs ; thus showing to their own brilliant Imaginations how smart they are, in forcing two . v." t . . . P ., , great political parties to change for their accornmoda . i tion- Thc marks of the democrat are in good taste, and just to the distinguished statesman, Gen. Cass. Well ought he to exclaim, "save me from such friends," as the Beacon Junto. fj7So far as we can loam, the proposal of Mr. Morrison to issue a new paper at Indianapolis, professing tobe democratic, meets no favor with the democratic press. His honesty i doubted by those who know him, and those who do not have been sitEcient ly culighteäed by the State Sentinel's exposure of his manoeuvres, to distrust his motives. The mere fact of his commencing a paper, and calling it democrat ic,-wr care but little about j bat as friends of Gen. Cass, vre must protest against havicg him sacrificed by having his name paraded at tbe rrfast head of so suspicious a craft as the proposed new paper. The General's friends ought, if possible, to prevent this. If they do not his prospects are forever blighted in Indiana.-"1'. Wayne Sentinel. We have abundant testimony on hand similar to the above. The "new paper" also meets with as little favor from prominent democratic politicians all over the State, who are not under the control of or connected with the Junto. And we have ye to learn of but two papers which profess friendship for Gen. Cass, that do not agree precisely with the Sentinel. Massachusetts .' The Election in the ninth congressional district held on Monday, resulted as follows in the nineteen towns heard from : Hale, (Whig,) Williams, (Locof.jco,) ' Scattering', There is, consequently no election. 2835 7U8 Maine Election.

'JVcw Paitcrsi We have received lately the following new papers,

which we place on our exchange list. The Scientific American, published in New York; and edited by Rcrus Torter, Esq. .It is ex cellently got up, and contains much usefiil matter, especially to mechanics. It should be liberally sup ported. Tbe Martinsville Journal is the tiile of a heat little Democratic Journal lately started at Martinsville, Morgan county, Indiana, and edited by James B. Richards, Esq. We wish him all success, knowing that he Will deserve it. St: Joseph Valley Register. This i3 the title of a new Whig paper which takes the place of a scurri'ous, low-bred sheet, commonly known as the Cheese TreSs." The Register is well got up and is conducted by Messrs. West &. Colfax. In poli tics, it will probably be of the " Tribute " school". The Princeton Chronicle is the title of a new and excellent Democratic paper published at Princeton, Gibson county, Ind., by Buxtin & Trowbridge. It will, or at any rate, should be, handsomely sustained. The Dludisou Courier. We have received the prospectus for the 7th vol ume cf the Madison Courier, to be conducted by Samcel F. Covington, Esq. It shall appear in our next. ISaii Iloud Journal. In our column? will be found an advertisement for the Rail Road Journal. It has boen published thirteen years. All who desire irifoririatiori on the subject of Rail Roads, and Internal Improvements generally, and also on tbe subject of travel, will find this paper one of the best sources of information. To the legis lator whd is likely in thes'e days of locomotion to be called on to act oa the subject of roads, &c.f and who ought to be well informed in every particular, this Journal is invaluable. We will act as agent for it, forwarding names anJ cash free of expense; and persons desirous of examining specimens, will please call on us. We hope to have a. large list to send on. Come on, Rail Road men ! New York Globe. We have received the first number of the Daily Globe, edited by L. D. Slamm, Esq. It is got up in a very neat style, and we hope will do much good: Mr. Slamm has been connected with several democratic presses in New York, and is pretty extensively known, especially through the medium of whig papers. The Ohio Union. We have received a few numbers of the above paper published at Cincinnati by T B. QrinSe & Co., and edited by T. B. Drinker, Esq. It makes a very neat appearance, and ßhould command success. In politics it professes democracy. 07" Wc are glad to learn that C. B. Flood, Esq., late of Columbus, 0. is to take the editorial charge of the Detroit Free Tress. Mr. F. is one of tbe most energetic and talented writers of the day and we congratulate that excellent piper in securing his valuable services. The XV es! cm Garland. And People's Magazine, is the title of a new publication just received, and which is published and edited by John L. Williams, Esq. at Cincinnati, O., at one dollar a year. It is octavo size, 24 pp. each number, once a month. The number before us is well got up, and filled with useful and instructive matter. It should receive a liberal patronage.

(fr--Major Dunn is "greatly misinformed" aboBTo rhüadd phia the term ia peculiarly anolicable,

either of the Chapmans ever having been found baH,jfcr the last five car8indecd we might say, since tling against the Democratic party, in 1821, '28, or the establishment of the U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania,

at any other time. We believe further, that Major Dunn it a never so informed. He can give his authority if he has it, and if it turns out not to be a "Lewis Figg" or a "Roorback," we will soon set the matter right. The balance of the major's small talk we pass by as unwoithy of notice by us. O-Major Dünn, who "raised the first Polk flag" and wfro calls himself the "most consistent democratic editor in Indiana," except Elihtj Stout is informed that vie are authorized to say that oil injunctions of secrecy, with Col. Willetts, and all other persons whatsoever relative to any political conversations' ever had with Governor Whitcomb, are removed now and forever. If he has any charges to make, now is tho time to make them specifically. Inuendoes and equivocations will not be noticed. OT-Chapman is quoting every little paragraph he can pick up to sustain himself, or injure the new democratic organ about to be' started at Indianapolis. Why have you not said anything against Covington ! We hear Sam says you dare'not, for if yod did he would give you goss he says you know very well who to attack, so we hear. -Beacon. Wc believe the latter assertion to be as destitute of truth as was Du an's statement to a certain Board of Directors. ftT" When tbe U.

J. fivor banking on any or alt kinds of principles J Does it favor bank officers deceiving the community by asserting falsehoods under oath ! Such was not once the democracy of the senior of the Journal The LT. S. Journal Just as our paper is made up, we haVe received the above Journal of Sept. 16th, in which is contained an article headed "Proclamation," which w e shall notice next week. If a young popinjay, who has been warmed into life by the democracy of the country, is to turn, viper like, and sting the bosoms which cherished him because for want of talent or decency he cannot reach the goal of his ambition, he will find that he has very much mistaken bis calling ; and that he may be kilL'd outright politically not merely scotched. OEnough money is sent off for eastern publicationsmany of thenf the veriest flap-jacks. to support a first rate literary paper in our midst. , This 'hadn't ought" to be. Tippeuinoe Journal; . Yes, enough to' support twtf or three worth five times the washy tirash so constantly advertised by many country papers to their own injury. When edi tors are desirous of filling up their papcre, it would be much better for them to advertise rof their own place and people gratuitously, than to copy those long advertisements of eastern papers ; for they will thereby benefit themselves five times the amount necessary to subscribe to those papers if they desire them. - Teaching the Fiano in Qne Minute. A Mr. Jameson, in England, is teaching what is called co' lor music, by which persons are taught to perform cm the piano almost at the first touch of the keys. The pupils play from sight. The keys of the pianoforte are colored, to various lengths, to correspond With similar coora in the book ; color being note, height being oclave,: and length being time. The Vefay Palladium says : 'Don WhisJcerandi, of the JLawrencebtiTgh' Beacon, is down on us like a "thousand of brick." He employs a whole paragraph of e i hi lines to tell us we have been 6qiirting dirty water at hmr. v ell, Major, if we did, we feel the rebound rriort ecneibly. A polecat could not have dirtied us more essentially." .

The New Senator. The State Sentijel speaks of the following gentlemen as candidates for Senator this winter: Governor Whitcomb, LL Gov. Bright, Judge Morrison, Judge Peaslee, Mr. Congressman Owen, and Mr. Ex-Cfn-gressman Wright. The Mtincietown paper speaks of Mr. & E. Perkins, the lofcofoco elector last year in the 4th district. Tho fort Wayne Sentinel favors Andrew Kennedy, while the Goshen Democrat is out varraly. for Judge Chamberlain as a northern candidate. This makes only nine, while we hear rumors that Pettit, Amos Lane of Dearborn, and Dr. J. V. Davis, are also desirous of presenting their claims, making just a round dozen. In all kindness, we can tell the gentlemen ori tbe list put forth by the State Sentinel that neither of them can possibly be elected whether nominated or not. They can value .the opinion just as highly or lowly as they please after the election is over, their own faces will bethebest evidence of its truth. St. Joseph Valley Rfgister. Well ; this is quite cool as cool, iudeed, as some cf the same writer's contributions to a New York pa--. t. . . . .. .. i .

per. "In all kindnesn," tee can tell the writer, that perhaps he may be correct. But if he supposes that the same appliances which were made by the whig party, of Which he is scrnewbat a pet, can be made again to obtain among a few political rascals profess ing democracy, he will be much mistaken. The hon est portion of the whig party now reprobate such po litical manoeuvring ; and it it also a great mistake to suppose that six dishonest democrats can be found in the next legislature. There may be one or firo; but we doubt even that. Theiefore, we must value the opinion "lowly." llrolic Jail. A counterfeiter, confined in the jail at Lawrence burgh, has escaped. The Register says "He was in the jail at breakfast time when the jailor went to carry him his breakfast, but when he took him his dinner, the doör of the prison stood wide open aud the bird had flown. He had an iron fastened upon his leg which he had broken by means of some strong iron instrument, and left it upon the floor. The door had been unlocked by some picking instrument from the inside. How he ge t the instrument is a mystery he took fiothirfg In with him, for he was searched . ... from head to foot for money, and nothing of the kind was found upon him, and no one but the jailor, J.

'The Governor of Kentuet jr OiTerä a re Ward of $1009, miking the whole offer 1500, for a wretch named Alonzo Pertningtoö, who murdered Si mon Davis in Christian county last May. He was the leader of a band of murderers, robbers, counterfeiters, thieves, and swindlers, extending through Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, &c., and that, in addition to the description given in the advertisement, "he has a fashion, when in conversation, of closing his eyes or nearly so, and sucking his teeth." Philadelphia. "Mobtown," for many years was applied to Baltimore, as significant of the continual rows and fights daily occurring. The city suffered, and justly, in consequence, and yet deserves the tail end of it. She got a bad name ; and it will require a corresponding degree of sobriety, peace, and good-will, and a corresponding tinte, to overcome the effect. Biit the soubriquet now certainly belongs to arfother city. -that city has been one continued scene cf riot, bloodshed and murder. All the smaller crimes have increased in proportion ; atid instead of being tbe "city of brotherly love," it has changed to its opposite. There are causes for this,- which any candid observer will not fiiil to notice. The Institution alluded to was commenced and founded in perjury, bribery and corruption and entering the political arena in open hostility to our republican government, there followed in its train pipelaying, fighting, riots and murders, until ft would seem that the whole community has become 60 infected that the rowdies outnumber and overawe the peaceable portion of it. It is a lamentable state of things, and will leave an indelible stain upon the city. Monster Band. The English papers, among the details of Queen Victoria's visit to the continent, mention that on her arrival at the Brühl, at the palace of the King of Prussia, the black eagle of Prussia was immediately hoisted in front of the palace, and the mov.stre military band of GOO performers, composed of the bands of thirty Prussian regiments; struck up ''God save the Queen." She subsequently proceeded down the Rhine to Cologne, and after the return of the royal party to Brühl, the tattoo was was beaten by the drums and fifes, amounting to about 200; and the performance was a Very masterly one, the effect being extraordinary to an English ear. The small and large drums are managed with great tact, producing very beautiful crescendo aud diminuendo passages, where not a stroke is heard, the whole being blended like the pedal notes of a great organ, swelling out to a tremendous thunder peal of sound, and again dying away like the distant muttering of the storm'.New England Rcm in Teksia. At the last monthly concert in Boston, a letter was' read from Mr. Bliss, dated June 10th, in which it was stated that intemperance was making fearful progress in Trebizond, and that 'it is nothing unusual to see half a dozen porters in our etreeti (Trebizond) taggering along under the weight of a huge hogshead on which is" written", ''Best N."

They can thus get it cheaper, and make a larger prc'St for themselves by manufacturing it, instead of letting it go to feed the starving millions of Europe! "All the religion," with a vengeance ! 03"The British Tory Federal Whigs and Modern Office-seekers are always inventing new fjamcs. Having no principles but the seven, five loaves and two ßslies-ßöraetlithg must be used as an at capt&ndum argument. Hence the facility with which they change their coats, politics and names. Always watch sharply those who invent or adopt new names. Every one of them will try to steal the cognomen of Democracy or Democrat. They are dishonest politicians who adopt such means, and dishonest men who use them. Rather Late. The Lawrenceburgh Bcaeon entertains its readers with a rich yarn about how the Democracy of the "Pocket" have labored and how few of the State offices are filled by Democrat from this quarter. We aie glad to see the editor's conscience' thus speak; but why did he not think about "the Pocket" in 1843, when' one of her sierTing eons was a candidate for State Auditor. If we are not mistaken, this same Mr. John P. Dunn was very anxiously seeking the" office himself. He was mindful only of his own "pocket" then. Ind. Statesman.

United States Senator. By an article from the

Goshen Democrat, in another column, it will be seen that that journal cordially seconds our nomination of Ion. E. M. Chamberlain as a candidate for Lnited States Senator from this State. When we made tbe nomination we were totally unacquainted with Mr. Chamberlain's own views and feelings in the matter ; and are. therefore pleased to see that though it is an elevation to which he had not aspired, yet he consid ers it an honor which ought not to be declined on slight considerations. He may therefore be looked on as the candidate of Northern Indiana a portion of the State which has hitherto been entirely overlooked in the distribution of the honors ad emoluments of ofSce, bolh State and national for the honorable do ty of representing the State in the Senate Chamber of the Union. In pressing the claims of the North fca this occasion, we do not wish to create any sectional ealousics, or disunion in our ranks, cor to throw any difficulties in the way of those whose duty it will be to make the election; neither do we believe that arr of Mr. Chamberlain's friends do, and he himself we are satisfied would be the last man to desire or ac cept a seat obtained by such means. AH we desire is that tbe claims of our candidate may receive a fair consideration, and. that no petty intrigues of trading . .1? a ii t " . politicians oe auowea ia iorce a senator cn us in whom we cannot repose the movt implicit confidence. With the decision of a legislative caucus, acting in a spirit or fairness, impartiality and concession, we 6hall be perfectly satisfied, and we trust the nominee of such a caucus be he whom we may will receive the undivided support of tbe democrats in the Legis lature, and be elected on the first ballot. The public sentiment is utterly opposed to the continuance of the trading and trickery which have on former occasions characterized our Legislative elections, and the popple's representatives would do well to remember on this occasion that they are acting for the good of the people, and not for the gratification of their own preferences, or the forwarding the schemes of ambitious aspirants. Ft. Wayne Sentinel. Are oar friends of tbe "Franklin Democrat " dipesed ta tell at who tbe choice of the Democratic party in old Frank lin is lor the next U. S.

Political Beacon. Wo copy the above from lhe 44 Beacon," not for tho purpo ot coaxing a quarrel out of the editor, but barely to aay lo lhe Major, that we owe no servility to him nor to ihe editon of the Sentinel ; we have taiJ nothing sjsinst Mr. Owen, nor Msjir Dunn, for preferring him for U. 8. Senator., But we did express our disapprobation, ia mild terms, of the muleish and disorganizing stul bornnf ss in bis sapport, which was recommended by tbe Beacon. We condemned it because it was impolitic and anti-democratic. Franklin county has elected three men to give her vote for U. S.

Tbe Democratic party here expect their representative, in Convention, to vote for the man whom1 they believe best qualified to serve them in the Senate i bot if majority of ine ucmocraiic members preler another, it is expected that such, choice will receive their votes, first and Isst, until the election ii closed. It is ritten, in the good old booK, that in the multitude of counsel there is safety," and m the heart of every good Democrat, " Union, concession, harmony ; every thing for the cause, nothing for men. Hence the well-wishers of Democratic principles, expect and are at all limes ready to meet and counsel together, and abide by the juJgment of the majority. It is the fool, tho egotist, the faohy in politics, the little in soul and corrupt in heart, that woulJ desire one or ten men. lo thwart the will of the' majority of their party, in a Legislative selection of oßicer. The good Democrat is always ready to concede to lhe views of lhe greater number, and in so doing exhibits traits of the noblest caste that be dare do right, and proves by bis woiks thst his attachment far principles is stronger than the love of the spoils. Who is it that can believe, that a msj rity of Democratic member! of the Legislature are either eo weak or corrupt, ae to be led by any Junto, to select an incompetent Senator 1 'y tiv i.iiivviii euauic via tut? UUMIU lUUUgUiw - We hive no reason to be of&nded at being placed in the same class with the Sentinel. It is a connexion that no Democrat, in or oat of Indiana, has any cause to eonplain of; we claim, to only ?ie with it, in derotion tcr the cause ; but yield it the palm in coon-skinning end editorial talent; from which we have drawn quite freely, to fill oar columns, and eball continue to do 13. We print a paper for our patrons, not for Major Dunn's or any other man's Junto. Politically, we are associated with the Democracy of Old Franklin, and the Sun of Heaven shines not rpon a truer and nobler band ; within the sphere of their action ihey hsve proven by their good works, that they are perfect epidemics on Federalism. And we wish Major Dunn and other office-seekera, who profess to be of their party and have sought so long after office that all above them in public estimation look sour in their eyes, would pay them a visit and procure seme learen, to M leaven the whole lump" with the proper spirit. But as we have no personal acquaintance with the Majjr, and es he feels it a duty to tell bii reader! three (imes in one week, that we are servile, we would inform him, that we claim to be as free as any native Hoosier, with independence enough to censure disorganization for selfish purposes in our political ranks.

"We are informed that the Bank here hag plenty of funds to loan on good business paper.
