INDIANA STATE SEXTO. WILLIAM J, BROWN,. Editor, INDIANAPOLIS, SEPTEMBER 12; 1850 Newspaper. Every man should take a newspaper. If he is a bachelor it will serve to cheer him in the hours of loneliness. It will, to some extent, smooth the nigged path of life in which he has chosen to walk. It will teach him to mend his ways, and to mend his clothes. It will point him to the Hymeneal altar, and learn him to worship at that holy shrine. If he reads the newspapers, and follows their precepts, whether married or single, he will be a happy man: Provided, always, that he pays the printer; for, unless he docr he is a conscience-stricken sinner, living without hope in this world, or that which is to come. But above all, if he is a married man, he should have a newspaper. It will endear him to his home and his fireside. It will give him the news from all nations, without his seeking for it at the hotel or the grog-shop. If he has children, it will be to them like the shower to the drooping and wilt
ed foliage- It will lead their infant-minds to high and noble aspirations. It will teach them the nature and character of the government under which they live. It will give them the history of the political men and measures of the day; and, in our country, it is a beautiful mirror, in which they can see and contrast our happy form of government with the bloated and festering systems of Europe. It publishes the passing events, and predicts the future by the butory of the past. It is a moving panorama of the world, upon which all should look and learn. Tliis is not only the age, but ours is the country of progress. The sun shines upon no portion of tliis habitable globe where there is so much intelligence among the great mass of the people as in tliis country. This is tobe attributed to
our liberal political institutions to our system of
education, and to the universal and happy influence of the newspaper press. The press is the great centre from which the rays of light and knowledge radiate. The newspaper,
wet from the press, takes the wings of the morning
and flics to tle uttermost parts of the earth, and carries consolation and comfort to the men of the plough,
the anvil and the loom, as well as to the merchant at
his desk, and the statesman in his study.
It. this country, newspapers are published so cheap tliat they arc within the reach of all. We have no
odious stamp act. lue tountain ol knowledge is open to every one hone so poor that he cannot come
and drink. We again repeat, ever- man should take a newspaper, read it and preserve it. Like old w ine, it may improve with age. In a few years you will have a library of useful knowledge; an encyclopedia of history and geography; a rich treasure for yourself and posterity. The Struggle Ended. After a struggle of ten months the Democratic platform on the subject of slavery, as first laid down at the ever memorable Baltimore Convention, from the pen of the lamented Silas Wright, of New York the doctrine of non-intervention has been fully sustained and vindicated. The same doctrines of the Democratic party in 184S have been fully acquisced in by both Houses of Congress. The Wilmot pro
viso has been voted down in the popular branch of
the National Legislature, and California admitted as
a Mate by the triumphant majority ot lou 10 oo. The difficulty between Texas and New Mexico has been settled, and we trust peace and harmony will again reign triumphant in thi3 land of freedom and the home of the oppressed. Who would not be proud - of his Democracy under such circumstances and who would not also be proud of those of our whig opponents who broke away from the tramels of party, accnded our platform, and who performed such good service? The following bills have passed both Houses, to-wit: The bill admitting California, with her present boundaries, as a State. The bill for the formation of a territorial government in New Mexico, without the Wilmot proviso, and fixing the boundary of Texas; and The bill for the formation of a territorial government for Utah, without the proviso. These comprised Mr. Clay's omnibus, which was upset in the Senate. The fugitive slave bill, and ibe bill abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia are not as yet decided. We hope they will he acted upon in Iba right spirit. Col. James II. Lane. The publisher of this paper has received, by the
last mail, a scathing letter from the above gentleman, in relation to the insinuation and charge of the editor of tlie Journal that the beautiful sword presented to him by the officers and men of the 5th regiment was procured by his instigation and partly with hl own money. The gallant Colonel repcb the charge as basely faLe. He says ''It is false and false as hell that I ever, either directly or indirectly contributed one cent that I had anything to do with the inscription you can refer to the officers named (Lt. Col. May, Maj. W. Myers and Adj't. Lord) as well as to every officer and man of that gallant regiment for the truth of these statements." The lateness of the hour prevents us from giving the whole letter. It will be published in our next. It will be a bitter dose for our friend Dcfrces, but he will have to swallow it. v
The South Bend Register. Mr. Brown well knows and has known that the ramor, to which we alluded in the most delicate manner, is and has been current in the State, ever since he became the publisher of the Sentinel.- Thus far, his silence has lent confinration to it ; and it seem singular that he has never thought it worth while to correct it, until upon the eve of the starting of a rival paper. We are bound however note to beliere Lira when be says that " neither Bright nor Cass have any special interest in the Sentinel." South Bend Register. . If the editor of the Register had been as anxious to notice the denial of Mr. Brown as the false charge that has been urged against him, he would not have added insult to injury by making the above statement. He even now makes a lawyer's, orralher a pettifog-" gers quibble on the word special,' by placing it in italics, when any sensible man would have known it to mean, that if Gen. Cass and Mr. Bright be indeed Democrats, they could not fail to take some interest in Democratic newspapers, particularly of such as are not doing them injustice.
The editor of the Kecister is without tlie ex-
cuse he alleges. His old master, John D. Defrees, made the insinuation against the Sentinel in almost the precise language of the -Register, which was promptly repelled by the editor at Washington and
endorsed by his son the publisher. At least his un-
qualified denial now should be sufficient. The Slate
Sentinel of June the 19th, 1850, contains the follow
ing denial. We wish the editor of the Register not to overlook it on this occasion. He evidently feels
bad enough already, and we do not publish it to in
crease his opinion of the injustice of his acts, and we conclude this article by saying, that, if he
wishes to become fully acquainted with the pecunia
ry standing of the publisher of this paper, he will be
gratified by a full exhibit, when he comes to the Convention. But here is the denial of the Sentinel published only nineteen days after it passed into the present publishers hands. The editor, in the Sentinel
of the 19th of June last, in answer to Defrees, said: What does the sapient editor of the Journel mean by intimating that the hand of the Hon. Jesse D. Britrhit is
'plainly discernable in the recent transfer of the Sentinel?'
Does he mean tout the editor is pledged to tavor the re
election of 3Ir. linctit, or that Mr. Bright a money re
ally had any thing to do w ith the purchase of the Sentincf ? If so, tic statement is not only false in in every
particular but tttean and coiUfmftiblt in fjirit. So far as Gen. Cass and the Presidency are con
cerned, the writer of this article is committed fur old Joe Lane against th wirld, if nominated by a
Democratic Convention. The Sentinel is for the
Democratic nominee, and will take ground for no man for the Presidency until a nomination is made. The editor of the Register is quite lavish of his
puffs of the editor of a new paper in tliis city. Wha
interest has he in that concern, that makes him so
lavish of his praises ? Is it an int:rcst he takes in
the prosperity of the Democratic party; or rather is
it not an interest sr owing out of a hatred to the
State Sentinel. He also now takes sides w ith W. It
Ellis and condemns the politics of the new Domo cratic editors at Goshen " A ftllowr fceluis nakcs him wondrom kind."

fjThc Indiana Journal is pouring out its sympathies for fear some indignity may be used against Mr. Seward, of New York, by the people of the South. Does the Indiana Journal endorse his "higher law' doctrines? It seems from the editor's remarks that such are his sympathies. His position, with regard to Democrats who applaud Mr. Clay for his course on the slavery que stion, is, that they should support him for President. That position carried out, would now compel the editor of the Journal to support Seward for the same office. We have no sympathies with Mr. Clay on thc questions of national policy that divide the Democratic and Whig parlies, and consequently can never support him for President as
Ionr as there is a Democrat in the field. But whenever the editor of the Journal is able to make an issue between his favorite Mr. Seward and Mr. Clay as the only opposing candidates for President, Old Hal is our man with both hands up. The Journal, however, need not be alarmed about Mr. Clay. He will no doubt soon leave the arena of political life, and ere long "life's fitful fever" with him will be over, and were he to retire now he would retire with

Central Itailroad Illinois.
William S. Waite, Esq., President of the Illinois
section of the Central Railroad, from Tcrre Haute to
St. Louis, recently visited our city, on business con
nected with the organization of tho corps of Engin
eers, and the location of the road. While here, we
understand, he examined our roads being construct cd, and was hirhly pleased with the system of con
neclion by the union track, of the different lines,- as
well as with the permanent manner of the construc
tion of our balasted heavy iron roads. He speaks
with entire confidence of the construction of the
road through Illinois, at an early day. Says the peo
ple on the route, as well as the citizens of St. Louis,
are alive to the importance of the work. The En
gineers, we learn are now actively engaged in the
field locating the road. Hilh the construction of
this rbad, the Tcrre Haute road, and the Ec.Iefon
taine road, we will have a direct and continuous line through Illinois, and Indiana, to the Ohio line, there
to intersect the Pittsburgh, Cleaveland, Sandwsky,Cc-
umbus, and Dayton lines. When this great centra
line shall be completed as it most certainly will be
in a few years, the greatest facilities will be afforded
to the traveller, as well as to those transporting
merchandise and produce, between the East and
West. It will be but 12 hours run between St. Louis and Indianapolis 21 hours between St. Louis and
Sandusky 26 hours between St. Louis and Cleave
land; 27 hours between St. Louis and Pittsburg; 42
hours between St. Louis and Philadelphia; 46 hours
between SL Louis and Boston; 42 hours between St.
Louis and Baltimore, and 41 hours between St. Louis
and Washington City, at a fair rate of railroad speed. This direct central line from the Atlantic to the Mis
sissippi passing through our city, must when completed with its numerous connections and tributaries, command an immense through trade and busi
ness, w hile its local operations will be increasingly
heavy, from year to year.
