TIT ESP AY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1S51. C7- Schuyler Colfax, Editor of the Sooth Bend Regis-
ter, has been nominated by the whigs as a candidate for Congress in the ninth District, in opposition to Dr. 1 Fitch, the late member. Mr. Colfax is a whig of the Greely and Seward school , is a young man of respectable . . - , , . . . . ... talent8 and 8 reputation ; but we differ with the Indiana Journal in its assertion that he will be an over match for Dr. Fitch on the stump. Fitch is one of the best stump speakers in the State, and we do hope that Mr. Colfax may be willing to meet him and canvass the
district with him. This will test the matter. The man tntion, is rendered equally important. 1 ne most juuiwho can ride seventy miles in a day, and make two cious and experienced legislators should be selected, speeches, can't be beaten. Colfax, if he means to run in We do not use the word talented, because it is a word earnest, has a long chase before bim. Let him charge j which is not well defined. The world generally regards Fitch, as the Journal does, of violating his pledges, and the most eloquent speaker as the most talented man.
let there be fair and onen discussion no bush whacking r no fc till hunting. K7" The EJitor of the Madison Courier in a letter from Indianapolis, says: " We are told that the grand pensioner, Col. Gorman, left, yesterday, considerably mollified towards the d free-soilers." Insinuation is the meanest of all modes of attack; and if the political Ishmaelite who disgraces the Democratic Tripod at Madison, by this insinuation intends to charge Col. Gorman with yielding to free-soilism, the charge is false and malicious. Col. Gorman is a Democratic r - candidate for Congress, made so by the unanimous nom- . r t . . o .; 1 .. r nation of a Democratic Convention, and this man Oar- , . , . . 1 . 1 her can now have no other object in attacking bun, but , . r rf,. , . 0 secure the election of a whig. I liesc wanton and ... , f 1 ... . continued assaults we are informed are without any , . n 1 n 1 . :j j provocut'on whatever. Col. Gorman has said or done nothing to give offence. Not Flattering. Jo. Lane, the presidential candidate of Indiana loco focoism, has declared his willingness to serve the pcopie of Oreiron in the capacity of Dclrgate to Congress. From this it would seem that he is not very sanguine of receivui" me nomination ior me iiic.cncy oom any 1 higher authority than the ' domestic democracy" of this j State. Vincennes (Jazelte.

Judge Huntington decided JJft the recent session of the Circuit Court of the United

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JENE 4. 1S51
The Election. The coming election is fraught with mora than usual interest to the Democratic party and to the country. Next Congress will determine whether the compromise measures are to be sustained, or whether the North is to trample on the Constitution and destroy the vested rights of the South, which secures to them the return of their fugitive slaves. The election for members of the General Assembly, in view of the almost certain adoption of the new ConstiThat this class of men have talents is not to be denied. ... . but our experience has convinced us that very olten they are worse than useless legislators. By their incessant talking they delay business, clog the wheels of legislation and often darken council. The best Legislators are men of head and thought, men of clear minds and unbiased judgment. Men who know their duty, and dare to do it. To our Democratic friends we say let there be union and harmony, and to secure this, there must be concession and compromise. Conventions should settle conflicting claims, and nominations should be sustained. Next yeni i iiiu "icai national coiiicsa ui i itrsiui'iu, aiiu c J ' should be preparing our armor for the contiict. by laving r r j o broad and deep the foundation of a thorough oraniza- . r , - tion, which no encmv can overthrow.

There are, too, scores of others eminently worthy of that distinguished station, for whom we could battle with zeal. And the Hon. John J Crittenden is not among the least prominent of that class. But we can have no share or lot in the present movements in favor of Webster, but if we are rightly informed there is a secret organization in his favor of no mean importance, ami which will not easily be disposed of, 1 without trouble in the camp. flll, ,h(. ,,, 70, ,.an know' wh nut those who are snulere to note down a little paper about 40 miles from Cincinnati.

It is published in full in the issue of Monday, and yesterday, it appears, on the outside and inside of that paper. Let tbe people have light. The Mails.

The editor attempts by reason to snow that he is right, as will be seen by the following extract: u Ours is a government of the people. This pre-sup-poses that, to enact good wholesome laws and govern well, the people must be both virtuous and intelligent. But, admitting for argument's sake that the great masses of foreigners who annually rush to our shores are virtuous and well-meaning people, anxious to cultivate our soil and to dig our canals, will it be pretended by my
candid man that they are sufficiently intelligent to make our laws for us I ? Would it be prudent to admit classes s our laws and to sovern us who in manv nt men to tramp our laws and t 1 "ovcrn us who in manv instances do not rpcocrnize the obligation of la w anil can. !

The Magistrat stood route, and the strong arm of the law was palsied before the fury of the multitude. But this was a mob directed against foreigners, which we presume the editor of the Banner would excuse. In this denunciation the editor of the Banner, however, is not alone. The New Albany Bulletin comes to his rescue. He says in defence of the Banner man: " If the clause is condemned only by whig papers, the fact only goes to prove that whig editors are more care ful ofthe Institutions of the country, and are more f.ee to speak their mind than are the democrats. For there are democrats who oppose the principle as strenousry as I anv whirr and who look u non the incentives to the insertion ol that clause in the constitution, in tue same light as a violation of principle to secure power." Now we have heard of no Democrat opposing this clause in the new Constitution. There may he such but we have not met with them. That the Whigs are hon est in their opposition we have no doubt.

Ladies dresses are delicate things for gentlemen to touch, but . . e , . ,. as the question is up for discussion, we must add our testimony in favor of the proposed change. Some very sensitive ladies seem to have their modesty shocked at the i L-i . .l ii K . l very idea, whilst they would admire the present dress, ' that with the long flowing skirts sweep the ground, whilst the bosom is bared to the gaze of an admiring world. In such cases would not a little elevation at each end be a decided improvement? The Turkish or the Chincse custom may not be perfect, but we are certain that great improvements could be made in the present fashion of female attire, and the advocates of "woman's rights" in this particular would as richly deserve a silver pitcher, as did our friend Robert Dale Owen for his effort to secure to them their personal rights An entire change is scarcely to be looked for, but much may be accomplished which will add to the comfort and beaut v of woman's dress. We know there is not a sensible lady among our readers but will agree that our theory is right. Their timidity may prevent their carrying it into practice. CTThe Acrora Standard is the title of a new Whig paper just commenced at Aurora, Dearbon county, Indiana, by B. B. Root and M. H. Bowers. The Whigs ought to support a paper in Dearbon county, and we trust they will, as such papers in Democratic comities always have the effect to tighten the Democratic organization. HC?"
