Eighth District, at Williamsport, Warren county, on Tuesday, June 10th, 1S5I. Thomas A. Hendricks. We place at the head of our editorial column, the name of this gentleman, who received the nomination at the Congressional District Convention, on last Thursday. Mr. Hendricks is a yeung man of talents, of sterling integrity, and sound political principles. In Shelby county, where he has resided from his infancy, he en joys an amount of personal popularity which will greatly increase his vote. The Whigs have. not determined on a candidate, but we understand they will probably hring forward some one in the course of a few days. Let us have the strongest man and a clear field nu guerrillas and we pledge ourselves to roll up a majority of two thousand for Hendricks and Democracy. The State Sentinel and the Compromise. The following is an extract from a letter to the Fort Wayne Sentinel, which Mr. Tigar says is from an active democrat in Lagrange county: " I am afraid the efforts made ly the Indiana. State Sentinel t foist into the democratic creed the doctrines they a short time since advanced in regard to the Fugitive Slave Law, will have a tendency tn divide the party n this Slate. I hope, however, that friend Brown will see the error of his ways, and drop that suSject altogethr; for there can no possible good result Irom it, and there may lie a good deal of harm. ' What good will it do for Mr. Brown to "drop that subject V The party will have to meet the issue, in less than a year, at the National Convention. Those who expect to dodge it, will be mistaken, and our democratic ftiends bad just as well meet it now as at any time. What will it avail us now to drop this subject, and strike hands with the free soilers, when in the coming contest for the next Presidency there will inevitably be aseparav i. .-. u. k. . . k, -- - - - and nr,,d tn the msmsml of the , -rj -i -j Fugitive Slave Lave can be nominated, and no free soiler will support such a nominee. This will produce a division, and that division had much better be now, than next year. In our Weekly issue of Feb. 1, we find the following: "We will sanction the nomination of no man who is in favor of repealing the fugitive slave law, abolishing slavery in the Disirict of Columbia, without the consent of the people, or interdicting the slave trade between the slave States, because the election of such a man would tend ta dissolve the Union, and destroy the Gov ernment. Every day strengthens this opinion. Nominate a candidate whose views arc unknown on this subject, and he will not receive the vote of a single Southern State. If he is sound on this question, he will receive the vote of a large majority of the Southern States in opposition to Mr. Fillmore, and of the entire South in opposition to Gen. Scott, unless he avows the same opinions. This is a question which with both political parties, in the slave States, is paramount to all other issues. They are in the minority, and their only hope for the safety of their domestic institutions, should they be assailed, is in the veto of the Executive. Let the two great political parties of the north nominate candidates whose opinions are unknown on the slavery question, and the union party in the Sooth will be instantly overthrown. Their only hope is in the firm a?d patriotic action of the north, and those who think the South would submit to the repeal of all laws for the return of fugitive slaves, according to the doctrines of Mr. Rantoul and others, are vastly mistaken in Southern sentiment. The next National Democratic Convention w ill meet this issue bv a full endorsement of these measures.

Scott be made the candidate. This common consent can never be obtained in the South The political party in th north that takes into their embrace abolitionism, is doomed to certain destruction. It would be to it, what the famous wooden horse was to besieged Troy; and all this steaming and plastering and poulticing, is but postponing amputation, which must follow, or death will ensue. These remarks apply as well to whigs as demo crats, for mark our assertion, if the northern whigs maintain their non-committal policy the next PresiJential ' ' ' election will find no whi's south of Mason k Dixon's line, and some of oar whig friends who are for the mum policy will find it out when it is too late.

It is a brief and well written State paper, ad contains several important recommendations, among which are a change in the judiciary, reform of the militia system, homestead exemption, Sic. On the subject of national politics, he says: The future peace of the country will depend upon the manner in which the compromise measures are sustained. These have already become a pledge of the fidelity of the several States to ecih other. The objections which have been made to these measures, in different sections,

furnish no reasonable gronnd that I can discover for any attempt to overthrow the late plan of adjustment, or withdrawing from the Union on that account. The right to discuss with fervency and real every Question which arises under our free institutions, is not only the privilege, but the duty of an American citizen. But higher and more transcendent still, is the duty to maintain the laws.

Face the Music. We clip the following extract from an article in the St. Louis Intelligencer complaining that Mr. Fillmore's administration has not received that support from the hands of the whigs to which it is entitled. We hope our neighbor of the Journal will come up to the work like a man, and let his readers occasionally know that there is a Whig President at the head of affairs: But Mr. Fillmore is not only himself a great statesman, but he has called around him men of distinguished ability and undoubted patriotism. On the whole, we think the present cabinet is not inferior to any we have had since the foundation of the eovernment But having accomplished so much, and being so eminently deserving of the gratitude and respect of the whole country, and of the Whi? party in particular, we think the administration is entitled to the enthusiastic support of that party. It deserves no timid, half-reluc-lant approval ; but it should be greeted warmly and cordially as the beau ideal of what a whig administration should be. HZTThe Hon. Thomas A.

TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1851. Gen. Scott. Soma days since we stated that the political movement to bring forward Gen. Scott "had its origin with the enemies of Mr. Fillmore, who fearing that his growing ing popularity might make him a prominent candidate for the succession, determined to supplant him by an early movement in favor of a distinguished military chieftain." This assertion the Indiana Journal denies, and enquires: "When did the gentlemen named make any movement

! on the subject? None, that we ever beard of and we do ' not believe the üxlitor ot lüe sentinel ever nearu oi any such movement. , , , rJ Our declaration was, "the enemies of Mr. Fillmore. f i v . i .

The first movement which attracted public attention was at the Clayton dinner, in WilmingI ton, Delaware. Scott was there nominated, and Clayton I i si a i rrt . i in a long speech advocated ins claims i nai niese men are opposed to Mr. Fillmore's administration, is a note rious fact, and the Editor who does not know it should commence the study of his political Horn book. The opposition to Mr. Fillmore has grown out of his policy onL slaverv nue.tion TI.p Boston Atlas the Albanv on the slavery question, the Boston Atlas, tne Aioanv . Evening Journal, the North American at Philadelphia. ' the Ohio State Journal, and Indiana Journa 1 are the chief advocates of Scott. These papers, with their free soil affinities and anti-slavery tendencies are contending that he is the only candidate who can consolidate the whig party of the country. In Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, and New England all the Free Soil Whig journals have followed the lead of this faction, known to be opposed to the administration. At Washington, in the circles that twice a week visit the White House, friendship to Scott is regarded as opposition to Fillmore and Webster. We regret that our whig contemporary is so ignorant of the true condition of the whig party. Suspected at

Vermont. The Democratic party in Vermont, like the Democracy of Indiana, is somewhat divided. One party, which is styled the " Free Soil Democracy," who have united with the old liberty party, and arc opposed to the Comxne oiu line JLetnoeracy, as tiiey are caneu, wno sus- ! lai" lhe Compromise and hold communion with the N tional Democratic party have also called a State Convention for the 22d inst.

" South Carol iua. We copy the following as an item of news from the " Southern Press." Elwood Fisher, the editor of this paper, is well posted up in Southern news.

This call is promptly responded to, in the following patriotic and independent stjle: " Our position on the fugitive slave law as well as on all the compromise measures was too well known, we supposed, to require a repetition.

We perceive by the following, which we clip from the St. Louis Union of the 17th, that this terrible scourge has again made it3 appearance on the Mississippi: Cholera on Board the Iowa. The steamer Iowa from New Orleans, reached the city yesterday afternoon, having been detained lor some hours in quarantine. We learn that when she was three days on her passage, and in the neighborhood of Viekshurgh, the cholera broke out. and a colored cabin boy Ben, a valuable servant be longing to Col. Stewart, and Henrietta the chamber maid, owned by Mr. B. Finney, fell victims to it. The lady of the Rev. Dr. Prime, a distinguished Presbyterian clergyman of New Orleans, who was on his way to attend the General Assembly at this place, died alter an illness of twenty-four hours; likewise. Mr. Maurice Wright, of Cumberland county, III. These were the only fatal eases. The liody of Mrs. Prime was, we understand, landed at the Quarantine. Cckiocs Story. We clip the following from the intcresting correspondence ol the Philadelphia Inquirer: A curious story is afloat in the upper part of the city, concerning a rich old gentleman, who it is said, was entrapped Ifef a very handsome and dashing lady of English birth. It is said he In i-.tmi- en:inioreij nf In r th:it afca controlled him as she wished. To test his professions ol I . . . ... I l(ve and attachment, she prevailed on him to transfer all bis real estate to bet , amounting in value to some $80,000. He did so. She sold out, pocketed the proceeds, nnd is now on her way to merric England. There is more truth than poetry in the story. Rhode Island. We are rejoiced that under the new Democratic administration in Rhode Island, Thomas W. Dorr has , been restored to the privileges of citizenship. Governor , Dorr's crime was attempting to give to the people uni- ' versal suffrage.

The Minnesota Democrat mentions a number of emigrants who are about starting for Oregon: The route these adventurers have taken is up the Mis sissippi to Sa.uk Rapids, thence across to Limg Prairie ; River, where they intend procuring canoes, and desce endj ing that river to its mouth ; thence up the Crow Wing to tne fortage; thence down a tritnitary ol Ked river; thence down Red rive to the Selkirk settlement, where they will procure pack-horses or ponies, and take the route of the Hudson Bay Company, across to Van Couver, nnd then proceed down the coast or by vessel to the mouth ol the Loiumma ia. Ships are constantly loading vers Island for the California and with coal at Van Cou Oregon steamers, so that there is no necessity of thei being delayed at that point. The distance from St. Paul to the Selkirk settlement, is letween seven and eight hundred miles. They think it will not take a longer time than twenty days to prosecute this part of their journey. The distance from Selkirk to Van Couver is alrout twelve bundred miles, and they expect to complete it in eight weeks. The distance from Van Couver to the mouth of the Columbia, is two hundred miles. They intend leaving Selkirk about th first of June. Game is said to be very plenty on this route, such as Buffalo, Deer, Elk, Bear, and plenty of small fry. They will have no large streams to cross, as the route is over the high-lands, between the waters which descend to the Mississippi and Misso iri, and those which de . . I V I .. . m- . scend to the Hudson Bay and Northern Ocean. U A horrible nurder was committed last night, by John Day, at about fifteen minutes to eight oYlock. His wife Catherine, daughter of Mr. George Fridley, (who had separated from her husband) was walking with her sister, when seeing Day lurking near by, she hurried into the passage of her father's house, to place herself beyond his reach. Heran to the door, drew a revolver, and fired two shots. One of the balls, it is said, struck her left side, and passed along the body, diagonally, until it reached the top of the breastbone, where it lodged ; and the other ball entered the left arm aliove the elliow. The alarm being given, a large number of persons collected in front of the house, (on D between Thirteen and Thirteen-and-a-half streets.) The assassin fled, but soon returned, when officer Boss arrested him, and conveyed him to the watch-house. Justice Goddard committed him to jail for further examination. Drs. Stone and Butt were summoned to the aid of the wounded woman j but their offices were of no avail. She died in the course of half an hour from the time the crime was committed. Washington Republic. Death of Mr. Wells. The Cincinnati Nonpareil, of Saturday says: Mr. Wells, for whose safety and restoration to health a groat deal of anxiety has been manifested the past two or three days, expired yesterday morning about six o'clock.

You shall have some pap you shall. You deserve it, and you shall have it. George B. Tingley. The Indiana Journal of yesterday contains a mean and contemptible assault on George B. Tingley. Esq., now of California. To gratify the petty malice of a pettyman, and to injure Mr. Tingley, the California papers are requested to publish. The device is too shallow; and if Mr. Tingley should even have enemies, they cannot with success use so flimsy a weapon. He is a Whig, and we have therefore nothing to sav in bis behalf, as a j candidate for Governor, but we hope such contemptible assaults, made to gratify deep seated malice, will fail to accomplish their object.

The American Anti-Slavery Society met at Syracuse, New York, on the Tib instant, and the accounts say was but slimly attended. Among the prominent personages present, we notice the names of Mrs. Abby Folsoin and her husband, Geo. Thompson, (an English member of Parliament,) Wm. Lloyd Garrison, and the negro lecturer, Fred. Douglass. Garrison made a speech in the opening of the meeting, and abused Clay, Cass, Sec., in round terms. On the other hand he eulogised the English agitator, Thompson, whose avowed object is to abolibh slavery or produce a dissolutjon of the American Union. The people of Syracuse must be a tame spirited set of people, to permit such villainous doctrines to be preached in their midst. The meeting s of this socieiy have been held in the city of New York, heretofore, but the patriotic citizens of that place made their meetings too hot to be comfortable, and they have removed tbem to the interior. Some three years ago, Fred Douglass, in a speech delivered at the Tabernacle, denounced the American Government, as a ' lengue with hell called the American President " the weak and imbecile Jim Polk.'' and Zachary Taylor ' his journeyman butcher!" invoking, at the same time, the curses of Heaven on the American Army in Mexico! This black rased, on the occasion referred to, was compelled to sit down, by the indignant multitude present, and. under a promise of good behavior, was allowed to proceed. At their meeting in May, 1S50, Douglass and his white associates became so offensive that their meeting was broken up, and hence their meeting at Svracus. It is to pander to the cant and hypocrisy of such reptiles as these, that a few short-sighted Wide and Democrats -nll upon their brethren to endorse Seward-ism, Van Buren-ism, and all other humbugs of the day. We think this foolery has been carried on long enough. Wabash Express. ttT-Tbe editor of the Madison Tribune quotes a letter said to have leen written by Gen. Scott eight years ago in 1843 to prove that he is perfectly BfNMM on the sfcfVtrj! question at the present time! In 1S43 thousands of men who are now violent abolitionists, Buffalo Conveniionists, and of the "higher law" school, were strenuous supporters of the rights of the south some of them even were "northern men with southern principles." In 1343 Texas was still an independent sovereignty, INew Mexico and California Mexican Departments, and the Oregon question unsettled. In 1S43 the fugitive slave law was not enacted nor even a subject of discussion. In 1343 there was not an abolition disunion party at the north nor a niilliricaiion secession party at the south; neither Seward, nor Chase, nor Hale, nor Sumner, nor Rhett, nor Soule, nor Jeff". Dnvis were in the Senate. Then how ridiculous, absurd nay, dishenest it is in the Madison Trilaine to attempt to palm offa letter written by Gen. Scott in 1843, as evidence of his opinions on questions which then had no existence. But it is unnecessary to dwell upon this subject. We feel confident tbat not a corporal's guard could be brought to the support of Gen. Scott in States which, like Indiana, are almost unanimously in favor of the compromise measures, unless he fully and explicitly states his position 3Vr Albany Ledger. The Legislature. Our next session of the Legislature, it is truly saidr will be an important one, especially if the contemplated Constitution is adopted, (and it no doubt will lie) as almost the entire laws of the State will undergo a thorough examination, and revision; in which case it is important that such men be selected as shall be competent to ihe task. Men of sound and discriminating judgment, acquainted with the wants of the people, ready and willing to perform their duty, regardlebs of eonsequences. In short, sound practical men, and men that can he relied on, under all circumstances, and at all times. This is the kind of men we want, and (be kind of men we roust have, and then there is ne tear as to the results. Vevay Palladium. District Cowvewtion.
