INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. WILLIAM J. BROWN, Editor. INDIANAPOLIS:

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 18-M. DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. FOR CONGRESS, THOMAS A. HKNDKICKS, of Shelby Tonnt?. FOR PROSECCTIXU ATTORRET, DAVID S. GOODING, of Hancock County. Marion County. FOR REPRESENTATIVES, HENRY BRADY, of Warren township. ISAAC SMITH, of Centre township. FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, M Ditt. POWELL HOWL AND, of Centre township. ; j rv iii'vnir r t i"T t r t l ji Dut. HENRY P. TODD, of Perry Township FOR ASSESSOR, JACOB ROBERTS, of Washington township. G. Dunn, insisting that he should sufTer his name to be used as a candidate for Congress. We think there is a j fair show in that district for a whig, and doubtless cither : Dunn or Rosscau could make a creditable, if not a victorious race. Arrange it to suit yourselves whigs of tbe district, and we will give you all the aid and com fort" we can spare from our own affairs at home. Do i not be afraid of shadows. Meet the enemy boldly, even ! if you are theirs afterwards. We understand from a reliable source that an eflbrt will first be made to unite the whig party on Eli P. Farmer. If that fails, either George G. Dunn or R. H. Rousseau will be the candidate. Democrats look out! The talk of the whigs, that they will support George W. Carr, is ail a sham, to lull you asleep. They will do no such thing. If you divide you are defeated. If you unite you will triumph. Jefferson County We are gratified to learn that the democracy of this county was never more united, and will poll a much larger vote for Mr. Dunham than he received two years ago. The democratic party, in convention, have repudiated the Madison Courier as unsound and unworthy i their support and confidence, and a new paper will be commenced in the course of next week. This has been done by the democrats of Jefferson county, and not by Hon. Jesse D. Bright, as the Courier would vain'y strive to make appear. Mr. Bright, as one member of the party, did his duty in throwing off this political incu bus. Had it been the one man act. as Garber represents, ':

His press is free; but by the judicious action of the convention, it is shorn of its power to do evil. Judicious. The whigs of Ohio, by means of committees and secret circulars, made a desperate eflbrt to defeat the new Constitution. T!eir failure was most signal and overwhelming. Now it is adopted we presume they will deny their opposition, and become great and zealous reformers. They uttered not a word against it in their j late State Convent. n. In Indiana, we hive no donbt but a large majority of the party are opposed to the new Constitution, but seeing no hope of defeating it, they silently acquiesce and suffer a default. Not a single whig paper in the State has durcd to make open opposition. Some contain communications which they publish without comment. If they had a reliable working majority in tho State we should have a desperate struggle ; as it is, thanks to the progressive democracy, we shall have no trouble. The Foarth of July. 7hc National Anniversary has this year been celebrated all over the country with unusual enthusiasm. Throughout the bread length and breadth of the land we have heard of but two grumblers: Elwood Fisher and R. Barnwell Rhelt. Tbe latter delivered a speech in South Carolina full of treason, and, in his Southern Press the former says: Although this is the anniversary of the most memorable act of secession and disunion that the world ever knew, we expect to hear of more declamation apainst tho principles of '70, against the right of a people to alter or reform tneir government at pleasure, than ever was heard of before. The folly and infatuation of a Lord North caused that disunion. We have a . . or Sörth now. It was the L ird above all that sustained and guided oar fore-fathers through tbe dark and stormy scenes of I the rcToluton, and through tho instrumentality of their patriotic desf-ondents tbe traitorous Lord North and Lord South will again be defeated. ty The St. Louis Intelligencer, an able and independent whi Journal is by m means pleased with the action of tbe Pennsylvania Whig Convention. It complains f the nomination of Gen. Scott as premature and injudicioos. The editor says : Thi is not the kind of whigeery which we of tho west maintain. We go for upholding the supremacy ol : the Constitution on all subjects, and doing impartial jus-; -mf ... -a' - . " V m 1 not the slightest reference is made to his firm, manly, wwc, usiairsmamiiieconauci throughout the . exciting scenes of the last session pending the comnromise measures. That which is the crowning glory of his administration was not oven alluded to in the resolution. In short, it is but too evident that the convention attempted to blink the question of tbe fugitive slave bill, and to hoodwink the Whigs of the South and West, by the ose of general phrases without descending to particulars. But this game will not answer. So far as we are concerned, if the whig party does not triumph as a great, national party, on national issnes, we would not I f ive a rua for its victory. If it is to achieve success j y flattering the abolitionists at the North, or wheedling I the nul.itiers at the South by uniting with sectional fac the ouliiuers at the Sonth-by uniting with sectional lac tionsoi any Rind or character, it will have accomplished a victory at the expense ot its own honor and usefulness. These at least are our views, which we think are concurred in by at least nine-tenths of the Whig of the West. tO Hundreds of demoorats who will vote for Mr. Julian, are as national in their politics as Mr. Brown, and ranch fnrther from being on the Buffalo platform than he has been Jeffersonian. They have certainly a bad way of showing it, by inpWe have heard of no democrat denouncing Mr. Bright, and such a thing only exists in tbe imagination of the editor of the Sentinel.'

Party Nominations. We dip tbe following from the Baltimore Argus, because we approve of tbe recommendations and because it is applicable to the democracy of Indiana: In localities where the democrats are in the ascendency, or where they generally carry their ticket, the Whig press and leaders are very much opposed to party nominations for candidates for office under the new const it ntion; but in strong Whig counties, or in localities where tbe whigs are usually successful, we hear not a word against party nominations. We advise our friends in every section ot the State, where there is the least chanca to elect a democrat to make their nominations. One good thing will result from it, if nothing else, viz: the principles of our party will be made kiw. n to tbe people, who will hear them more fully discussed than if there were no party nominations ; and in becoming acquainted with them, those who aro strangers to democracy will behold its beauties, and fall in love with them. We say to our democratic friends, nominate your candidates present to the people your best men and victory awaits you.

Effects of Intemperance. We learn from the Richmond Jeffersonian that " a Coroner's inquest was held over the dead body of a man found on the premises of Wrn. Piatt, north of Newport, on the 4th inst. Tbe verdict of the jury was that he came to his death by the excessive use ot alcoholic tics ot " John McNees' Liniment." A small jug con taining some whiskey was found beside him." Light Penalty. Dayton, cashier of the Morris, N. J. Bank, and convicted of perjury, for the benefit of the other actors in that frandu!ent affair was sentenced to pay a fine of $600, and stand committed mml the fine- and costs be paid. If it had been some poor laboring man, he would have ; r 1 . a . r- . n w m been fined, and confined in the State Prison Money maks a wide difference Health of Cincinnati. The board of health of Cincinnati reports one hundred and eighty-seven interments in that city since the 3d inst., of which nineteen were from cholera. Louisville The Indiana Trade. An active competition is going on among the towns below us on the river, to draw away from Cincinnati the i trade of the fertile State of Indiana, and to secure it to j them-, vc-. 1 neir united ctturts arc ol course, directed to divert this trade from us, however they may disagree in the distribution of it Louisville and Jeti'arsonvHle, in the direction of Indianapolis represent one interest, New Albany another. Madison still another, and more powerful interest. The &c . from being diverted to Louisville. As a nitans of i chase by the city, ol the Kailway lrom tuinuurg to buclbvville The Louisville Courier says. " It m ill not do for our ciiizens to remain listless wi.ile neighboring cities are active and awake to their interests. Louisville should have the control of tho roads beyond Columbus, as in ! this way only can our merchants trade with the people oi mat section on anytning lino lair anu equal t rms. Let us, by a wcl! directed policy, secure these roads, and we will at the same time secure a trade of almost incalculable magnitude, and a trade too with which we have heretofore been entirely nnacquainted, and which has been enjoyed exclusively ly Cim-iunaM and Madison Few of our readers have an adequate conception of the , beautv. fertility, and productiveness of that portion ol Indiana with which tbe Jefferson Railway will bring us into connection, and now that the vast trade of this re gion is within our grap, we must not by inaction per mit it to be wrested from us. A bright future is before Louisville if she is only true to hirslf." And what will ;i the future of Cincinnati, if she sleeps on. and lets this vast trade go into other markets? Cin. Gazette. Insurrection at Tehuantcpec. New Orleans, July 4. We learn that an insurrection has broken out on the isthmus of Tehauntcpcc. The Mexican authorities had seized the American schooner Helei Mar for an alleged violation of the Mexican revenue laws. The people on the islhmus had resolved to take summary vengeance, and the members of the expedition were threatening to resist tbe authorities to the utmost extremity. The schooner in consequence ' had been released. 1 he captain was unaware ot having I violated the laws. The Wheat Crop. We have, during the past week, conversed with persons from various parts of the State, and all concur in saying that i he amount of wheat raised this year surpasses that of last season. In the lower Muskingum valley, and in the Miami valley, the amount is decidedly more tiian last year and what is better , it is if the very best quality. It is now beyond danger from rust. &c, all over the State. This is a grjat thing for Ohio. Her surplus millions of bushels of this year's crop, and the last. W'ill go far toward feeding the rest of mankind. The present 1 indication of an abundant crop will tend to keep thepric? low, when compared with some of the lormer years. OAio Stole Journal The Baltimore Patriot says that the prospects of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, constructing from Baltimore to the Ohio River, are most encouraging, and there is no longer any fear that the road will uot be completed to Tycart's Valley Bridge by February 1st 1852 and to Wheeling by January 1st, 153. When the road is com pleted to Ivgart s alley, it is the intention to have n j li.ie of stages runin.; tbence to rarKersburch, so that the :imc from Baltimore to Cincinnati will be diminished about a day. About 400 hands are at work on the great tunnel, which is abont a mile long. The river nt this point ia now within 14 inches of tne Mississipip threatens the country below with a destructive overflow Jr. U. Courier. Cholera Two deaths by cholera have taken place ! in this city since Sunday. One was a laborer who had born reuhn2 here lor some time, nnd the other had been . .. . . . , . oil sick Irnm a steamboat. We are also mlormed that a death occurred in Franklin township in this county on Sunday. There is considerble sickness in the country, princip: lly engendered by the extreme heat of the weather for tho last few days. New Albany Leger. To Mart. Water Cold. Let the jar, pitcher, or Z?

The Republiemn of the 3d says an earthquake was felt there the morning previous, three distinct shocks, the whole occurring in about one minute. A friend who noted the occurrence, says that the motion was undulating, or wavelike, .nd appeared to proceed from the southwest learns, on inquiry at the census bureau, that the official returns of the State or California have not been received.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 14, 1851. Doctor Thos. Corwin. The Dayton Gazette tells a pretty good yarn about Mr. Corwin how be turned Doctor, and how successful be was with all his patient: To a friend of ours who saw him the other day at Lebanon , he care a most amusing, and we doubt not,

truthful account of the condition of things in the trcasu ry Department when be entered upon the duties of Sec-1 retary. The Clerks, he estimated, were sir, on an , average, aoout nan tue time out it "true nun as somewhat remarkable that, nmr-h s thev Wnre sick do of them died. The faot was apparent at a glance, that thv did very little work lor the public, and the in ference was irresistible, that something must be done for them. Accordingly, the Secretary turned physician, - and began to prescribe for the invalids. He issued an 1. . TI J- . I P TT - I order that all clerks who were absent from their desks a certain number of days, say two, on account of sick ness, should submit a proportionate deduction from their . respective salaries, ana tnai an wno were aDsem long- , er, say one week, would be required either to die or re sign. The prescription worked like a charm, and in a short time there was not a sick clerk in the whole Department. A healthier set of men than they are now, Mr. Corwin declares cannot be found anywhere. Now we advise President Fillmore to turn Doctor so far as to apply Doctor Cor win's prescription to the Se and see if it will not have the same effect on the truant Secretary. 17 Several Kentucky Whig papers persist in calling Ju lian the Democratic Candidate for Congress fourth district. This is unjust to the Democracy gtate Juuan u a aboiltionist. Ho does not pret to be a democrat.

We voted against j xhe same principle that sanctions obedience to r ni

pponents. The object is to make the Democratic can- j not properly characterized the one who mouths the epiidates, in Kentucky, hear the odium of Julian's free-soil i tbet. If we were disposed to specify one person, (to

did notions, because a few misguided democrats support him in preference to J. W. Parker, whig. This is unjust to the democratic party in the State who have no symyathy with Julian or his supporters. Railrond Grades. Our Cincinnati brethren of the Press discourse finely on the prospects of. the Baltimore line of Railroad from I

St. Louis, through their cily, and thence east, on what P"?"' w,,u ,n" prrrr "J l"7r rp -,na 18 now mus- ,,, ui- . ,pnng in the "free nrgro 'ranks, taking great comfort in

"COMINO EVINTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE." The Liverpool Journal thus speaks of the future United States: America exists to reproach and will reform the world. The rough and rcdy republicans expand themselves over a universe; the Union h.is just leen enlarged hv territories larce as Europe, and already the new State of California exports half a million of gold prr month, and prepares to open steam communication with China and Japan. The Pacific Incomes the highway ol nations. and enterprises unheard i f approach maturity, while the mind ot the ancient world is absorbed on the miserable subjects of divine rights and sectarian controversy The majesty of civilization and commerce brightens regions rich and vast, while Europe pauses to parley with idiot legitimates and ancient nonenities. The Republic of America bids fair for the mastery of the universe, and will achieve it. The same paper, after speaking of the meeting, at Cracow, of the Czar, the Emperor of Austria, and the King of Prussia, to consult on the best means of interrupting the progress of freedom and civilization, says; The crowinar example of a great people is instructing rapidly the whole race of man; and the reply ol the Secretary at Washington to the Austrian Minister teaches, while it reproaches, all Europe. How superior to Lord Palmcrston's "papers" the manly courtesy of Mr. Webster. While the "old countriea" abuse, yet dread absolutism, the transatlantic republic treats it with polite contempt. Davtou and Western Railway. We leam from tbe Dayton Journal 'hat all difficulties r-Mstmg between the Cincinnati and Western Kailway Company have been amical.lv adjusted, and no obstacle I exiMS to prvent the completion of the road west to the State line, and to a connection with Greenville. Means will be placed in the bands of Mr. Deararf. the contractor, to enable him to employ an additional force of 400 hands.

Old Hunker. We eopy the following article from the Cincinnati Enquirer, which we commend to tbe careful attention of our readers. The term originated in New York. In 134S the Hunkers susta ned Gen. Cass and Gen. Butler, the nominees of the Baltimore Convention. The Barnburners framed the Buffalo platform and supported Martin Van Büren and Charles F. Adams. We have re-

peatedly been designated as an ''old Hunker," and the Sentinel is called an "old Hunker' paper Those who have thus designated us are painted to the life in tho folowing production HE'S AN OLD HUNKER." "He's an old Hunker" is a phrase that we have frefluently heard used by professing Democrats in this re . . . .- gion as well as in other parts ot the state, bo common is it becoming that wo have felt disposed to give it a little more notenetv by a few frank allusions to the motives, manner and spirit which generally actuate those who month it. r i i i t i j. . i i I vnr oi.serva ion and Knowicoge oi inose wno are a very'high respect for any one who uses the term. In New York, where the phrase was first coined, it was a name used to designate a political party, hereabouts, and in some other sections of Ohio, it is an epithet, employed to depreciate and stigmatise solitary iniliriduals. There is a very distinct feature observable in all whom we have ever heard employ the term here, and we have only to point it out for the reader to corroborate the fact i er. Parll.e rcekmg with all the itin and fanaticisms and . - . ti t . spiciiously in the new brotherhood, and possessing them-, selves in good time of the poih, find their shortest road aosur lines 01 tnc tiav. and wno, intent on nguring conpure patriots.

Gsrber and his friends are getting up quite an ado about the liberty of speech and of the press. We understand that a man is free to speak and publish at. his own expense whatever suits him. and thsil other people are free to hear or not, or read or not as they think proper. We do no: understand that :he liberty ol the press includes the right to compel people to take a particular paper, read it, and pay tor it. Personally, we should have no objections to that sort of liberty of the press, provided the Louisville Democrat was tho paper in question. It would no doubt Ih for tingood of mankind il" all were required to read it ; and it would be for the good of the et'itor, decidedly, if all were compelled to pay for it. whether thev read it or not. For special reasons we could not object lo this sort of j lilierty of the press in this one case; but we object to it -in general. We don't think the Madison Courier entitled ' to any such liberty.

" Between Johnson and Iowa counties, an uplift of carboniferous sandstone is encountered, which is probably near the eastern limits of the Des Moines coal field. Tiie Iowa river meanders near the eastern margin of this coal field, but the seams presented on the river are of inferior quality. It is upwards of two hundred miles in tho direction of the valley of the Dps Moines across this great coal field. Wcstwardly it extends from Des Moines river nearly across the State of Iowa, and incl'ides a considerable portion of the Slate of Missouri. "The entire area of this coal field, in Iowa alone, cannot he less than 26,000 square miles, in all, embracing a country nearly equal to the Stale of Indiana. Although of so great an area, this western coal field is comparatively shallow in Iowa, probably hardly exceeding fifty fathoms in thickness.

The decision was against tbe complainants, and in favor of the State. The case was argued by Messrs. Morrison & Major for the complainants, and by Messrs. Barbour &. Porter on behalf of the State. The opinion pronoanced by Judge Wick is said to be a very able one. We learn that the case will be taken to the Supreme Court. lI7The Editor of the Madison Covrier is so full of üitterness arid venom towards us that ho cannot pen a j inle paragraph without dragging in the name of W.

Hon. Geo. W . Carr. It will be perceived from tbe following card that this old and tried Democrat has withdrawn from tbe field as a candidate for Congress in tbe Sixth District A desire

believe that honest George W. Carr was a disorganizer, and the step he has just taken convinces us that he is still a sound straight-out Democrat, having the interest of the Democracy and the whole country at heart. W understand that , during the canvass, he has conducted himself lika an honorable gentleman and a sound Democrat. If he has erred, it has been but for tbe moment, and we feel confident that this act places Lim, at once, in that high position he so deservedly held heretofore in the estimation of all true Democrats. Col. Gorman has now the clear field against E. P. Farmer, and, with so large a majority as tho Democrats have in that District, we regard his success a certain.

We copy the following from the Richmond Times, a leading and conservative whig paper at Richmond Virginia: THE PENNSYLVANIA WHIG CONVENTION. It the proceedings of this body had to be judged only by the resolutions it adopted. e should make Ii tie objection to them. True, reconsider ihe nominMtion of Gen. Scott premature and unwise; but as that was merely lac oprcssion of a present preference, it was of itself without much coo-q-Jcncc. The speech made by Gov. J -hnston, immediately allei the endorsement of him by the Convention, is a more serious matter. He went out of his wav to condemn the Texas boundary bill, which is n-w an irrevocable law, und moreover proclaimed himself in favor of t he modification ol the fugitive slave law. In placing lumseli uHn this platform, Gov. JoUnst n cannot cXiect t. have the good will of the Southern Whig parly, and. for our part, we most heartily u-iah thit he may be rewarded u-Uh defeat. It seems to us t he strangest fatuity, in intelligent Whigs of the North, thus to throw themselves ;"iiist the national policy of their paity. Do tiny suppose that Whig measures will ever prevail in Congress, il the Southern Whtcs are cast eff? Arc thev stone blind that they cannot perceive the necessity ol standing aloot from sectional questions, if they wish to carry their favorite measures of a protective tariff"? If Gov. Johnson's lope is to promote his own chances of election by soliciting the favor of the anti-slavery parly, he is likely to be disappointed. If he expects to aovance Gen. Scott' pris peels by identifying his name with tbe sentiments of his speech . he is egregiously in error. A snspicion is al- ! ready sprung throughout the iouih that tiie Seward di i vision ol" the Whig party have taken charge of Gen. ! Gen Scott was known to be a warm approver of the compromise measures al the time of their adoption, and he look more than one occasion to make public avowal of bis devotion to the Union ; but this will not satisfy Southern lugs so long as those in t tie .North, who nie fnr the renewn'i agitation, are allowed to be lie chief sponsors for his claims. For ourselves we have entire I O ... .

It was Mrs. Gaines, who in 142, appeared in the First District Court, (Judge Butchman,) accompitnicd by her gallant husband, in undress uniiorm, with sword buckled to his side. It happened that Mrs. G.'e lawyer becoming dissatisfied with some decision of tho Court, retired from the case, wheieupon the digniUcd veteran advanced towards the lawyer's tasle, leading his lady bv the hand, and begged that the Court would allow the lady to plead her own cause. The scene was quite an interesting one. There stood on oi e side an array of our oldest and most learned counsellors, who were resisting the lady's pretensions with till their skill and ability, with a large lot of law books lying beforn them. On the other side stood the bright-eyed, hand some little lady, and the erect and war-worn veteran, I her gallant husband. The claim of the lady to be heard , jn her own case could not be denied She proceeded in her remarks, but soon became so piquant and personal lliai tne Juuge mieriereu ano ocugeu ncr w wuuk u t - self to the argument. Thereupon the gallant general rose, and in a slow and measured styl , stated that for every thing that the lady should say be held himself personally responsible in every manner and form, in court ami out ol court. Ibis allusion pretty soon quieted ihe sninfilimr ol" some young attorneys who were present, and who appeared mightily tickled with the scene. Mrs. Uain.-s was perniuieu to go on anu argue her case to a conclusion. This is the only case of a lady ever appearing as counsel in our couns. We wonder that it should be the only case. O. Delta.
