If Mr. Elder is determined to keep up the quarrel with every Democrat who opposed the election of Julian, we have only to say. go on; and when the paitncrship is wound up, if the loss does not overbalance the profit , we are mistaken. We took our position in opposition to the election of Julian, after full consultation with the prominent men of the Democratic party in Indiana. What we have said, is on record. We have nothing to unsay. 73" M Donald's majority over Lane for Congress in this District was 334. Mace's majority over Brier is 218 ; being 1 16 less. Delphi Journal. In looning over the returns, we discover that Maj. Mac has received the party vote in almost every county in the District eighty-seven maj' eal Question w defeated Mr Hannegn for Representative. Two years ago, Mr. M'D. nald received two hundred and ninety- " ' . . . . . one majority, wnicu is 111c acraSc Acroocrauc m-jumij in that county fur ten years past. Had there been no local question to distract the party, Maj. Mace's majority would have exceeded four hundred. The official majority for Hon. Giabam N. Fitch is 213. This is one of the closest Districts in the State, whn thoroughly canvassed. In 1843, Sample, Whig, had a majoriry over Chamberlain, Democrat, of 314. In 1S45. Cathcart, Democrat, beat Sample 343 votes. In 1S47, Catbeart waa re-elect d by 393 majority over Daniel D. Pratt. Whig. In 1343.

His opponent was Mr! i Langdon, editor of the Mobile Advertiser, a whig in politics and a gentleman of character and talents. Alluding to the result, Mr. Langdon says: The returns from the district, as far as received, indicate very chariy that "all is lost except honor," and the indomitable will to contend for the rights of the Sooth, in the Union, while life is spared. Adverse circumstances shall never damp our ardor in the advocacy oi" what we conscientiously and honestly believe to be for the best interest of our chosen Sooth and our common country. iir, while the thout e victory are going up from our opponent, tee hate the tmtitfaction of knowing that the real eceswnitB and disvnioniets in the district are woroe defeated than we ore, and that this election has rung their dath-kncll. They were forced to assist in nominating and electing a man who had never been with thm, and to declare themselves before the election better Union men than the Union nominees were. So far then, as r-eession and disunion aro concerned, the election may be claimed as a Union triumph Mississippi. The election for delegates to the Southern Rights Conentiou will take place on the first Monday and fiist Tuesday in September. This election will h.tve a decided influence on the State and Congressional elections, which are to take place on the first Monday in November following.

No election approaching this in importance has ever been held in the State, and no true citizen will stay away from the polls." O-Tbc Lafayette Journal says that Hon. A. S. White, PYesiatent of ihe Lafayette and Indianapolis Railroad, returned from New York on Monday lat, and that he has made arrangmeala for three locomotives with all the equipments necessary for thirty cars. The iron is expected at Lafayette in ibe course of a month, and a considerable portion of it will be laid down this fall. The Journal adds that ' iho enterprise will be carried forward now with all possible energy, every essential proTMon having been made for the completion of the Road. The entire line is nearly iu readiness to receive the iron, and the unfinished portion will be ready by the time the iron rs received." Prediction We predict that when Judge Hackelman' temper is moderated by age and discretion, that he will bhish to read the la-: number of the Rushville Republican ; and that fire years will not roll around before he will tear No. 13, Vol. 12. from his file and commit it to the flames, as piou .livines in riper years have sometimes destroyed the unfortunate productions of their youth.

The Canal became surcharged at once, and the resistless fcrce of the furious waters found vent in tho giving away of the tow-path about one-foarth of a mile above where the creek entered the canal. This breach is some ninety feet in length, and several feet below bottom. There are also several bars at Birmingham Bluff, which will have to be removed. We are happy to be assured, however, that thc suspension of navigation will be but short.

Cuban Freedom. Our tek'ffraphie news which we publish on Saturday, as we anticipated, is of tho most important and startling character. A few davs more will zive ns the inte- . ' gence in a more reliable and detailed form. The awful trauedv has commenced. The streets of Havana ' have been made red with American bleed. Inhuman I and savace indignities have been heaped on the man-'led raoie cruel their deeds the more certain will be the downfall of this despotic power. The perpretrators of such deeds of cruelty should find no sympathy in American bosoms. We are excited and can write no more; but we commend the following patriotic and noble sentiments, from the pen of Col. Sam. Medary, to all our readers and to the country: J Bm ths wonder is, that the men who, for any cause. perpetrate these wholesale and indiscriminate deeds of .

It is impossible to avoid collision of some sort when a neighboring power is struggling for perpetuitv. by ircadinr; upon the neci.s of its subjects 1 Look at the proof. Here is the Faleon, unconnected j down in the streets of Havana, and we are invoked to j neutrality! Our brave and hardy young men are told to , stay at home, or they w.Il be punished by the laws of our off lard, or giyen quietly up to the garote ! The , Hnlsemann .elter should be read to Concha, as well as to Hsynau ; and we should not stop at the reading, as it j seems we have in the case of Brace! We deplore the massacro of these devoted men at Havana, but their blood cries to their friends for ven I gcance ; for every victim to the slaughter, a thousand j hands, with hearts in them, will be raised to press the goblet of blood black to the lips of their murderers! j May they drink to their fill ! Why is Money Scarce! This is a very common question. There are many reasons, but the most prominent, in our opinion, are ex trftVagance d idleness. Labor is wealth, and when men . . . ... .. . . ! cease to labor, wealth will naturally diminish.

Farmers and planters too often find their crops virtually mortgaged to the merchant, whilst it is yet growing in the field.

Thirty-Second Congress. UaiTF-D States Senate. The Senate, when full,

comprises siaty-two members. Of the fifty-nine Sena tors elected, thirtv-five are Democrats and twentv-four Wings. Two of the Democrats and three of the Whigs ' are what are called free GrmJ. There are three va , caneies, vir: one in Connecticut, one in Tennessee, ami . nn, :n California. The Legislature of Tennessee iust elected is said to be Whig in both branches, which course secures the election of a Whig Senator. The California Senator will probably be Democratic.

The dining room is far superior to that of any in America, being ninety feet iong by j thirty-five feet wide, capable of seating over 200 persons, I J anJ j, adJili , . of ornament four ,ar e mirrors, one at each end of the room and the others on the sides. To give tho reader some idea of thc style in wWah this hotel is furnist d, it will be sufficient to state that these mirrors alone cost $1000. The lodging rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished, and the house is well provided with baths, saloons, and every other desirabls convenience. Hot and cold water passes through every story, and in sufficient quantity to be used at the pleasure of every occupant. The Reading Room and Office are on thc first floor, fronting on Sycamore street. The latter is furnished with one of Jackson's Improved Annunciators, which communicates with every room, the number of which is 135. Thc Kitchen and Laundry comprise every improvement of the day. The rapidity of the operations of the Laundry is surprising. A gentleman's linen, no matter how much soiled, can be washed, ironed, and returned to his room handsomely done up and ready for wear in half an hour's time. The proprietors, Messrs. Tuttle of the City Hotel, have spared no pains to make the Woodruff House the very host hotel that could be produced, and under their superintendence, when fairly under way, it is bound to be one of the first Hotels in the Queen City. They are : gentlemen of energy and experience, and every department of the house will be conducted with industry and efficiency, and with a view, constantly, to the comfort of j its visiters. To secure this end they have brought to their aid thc services of thc most competent persons. ..... . .... ...

Right of Secession. This is the next great question which is to agitate the cou:ltr) - " cani however, do no harm so long as it - seiwscd abstractly ; but snoulU South Carolina attempt practical secession, that question would at once be presvuted for the action of the Government.

the question of refering the Message j and we shall be disappointed if weeks and perh.ips months are not spent in this discussion. It has been an element in all the Congressional elections at the South, and will be thrust . . 1. : . j 1 1. , upon Congress. It is a most dangerous and difficult question, surrounded and overwhelmed with embarrassments. To admit the right, is to admit the weakness of the Government. If these States are a voluntary association of partners without any strength or coercive power in the general heed, then interest alone must bind them together. To deny the right, would, it is contended by the advoear.es of this doctrine, destroy State rights, and estalil.su the Hamiltor.ian doctrine of Federal conlia4. , ... . j. , .. . tion. It ,s contended that peaceable secession was the doctrine of Mr. Jefferson and was clearly shadowed forth in the Kentucky resolutions of '9S. of which ho was the acknowledged author. In these resolutions he says that "the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principles of ....iiiiiiii-u nuiiiiii.-97.uii iu tue irenerai LTOveriiment not 0 koci mucin, "ui that by compact under the style and title of a Constitution of the United States, and of amendments ihercto, m .. I .... 1 : - . 1 1 .1.1 ; they constituted a general government for special pur poses-delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving to each State for itself the residuary mass of right to their own self-government; and that : . l a .1 - - - a a whenever that government assumes undelegated powers, its acts aro unauthoritative, void and of no force; what belongs to this compact each Slate seceded as a State, and as an integral paity, its Co-States forming as to itself the other party, That the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the power delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the constitution the measures of its powers; but that, as ; in all other cases of compact among parties having no ! cotnuion judge, each party has an eoual rieht to iudoe ' for itseu as well of infraction, as of the mode and I I j measures of redress' And lurthcr on, he says that " to take from the States a11 Pwcrs oi self-government, and transfer it to a gen era) and consolidated government, without regard to the special obligation and reservation solemnly agreed to in that compact, is not for the peace and happiness or prosperity of the Statos, (for which obje ;t the Union was formed,) and that therefore this commonwealth is 1 power, in no man or body of men on the earth: that it would be a dangerous delusion, were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights, confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism, free government is founded in jealousy and not in confidence, which prescribes limited constitutions to bind down thos2 we are obliged to trust with power." In support of this doctrine the debates on the formation of the constitution is refered to. It appears that " Mr. Edmund Randolph of Virginia introduced a scries 1 ,nc deral Constitution. 1 he last clause of the sixth resolution proposed to confer upon the Government, ' the power to call forth the force of the Union to compel any member of the Union to fulfil its duties under thc articlrs thereof.' The clause was bejectep without a DISSENTING VOICE I Without attempting to discuss this question in detail, i we will barely say, that, in our opinion, Mr. Jefferson had reference to the inherent right of revolution, and not peaceable secession, and that the Convention rejected the proposition of Mr. Randolph because it was the abstract declaration of a right already enjoyed by tho Government under its general powers. No State can secede without resistance to the laws of Congress for the collection of the revenue, the organization of the Federal Courts, and the Post-office laws. The President by his oath, is required to see the laws faithfully administered, and whilst the laws are in force, Congress has no right to relieve the President from this duty. Resistance to law is rebellion. This was settled in the case of the Whisky insurrection in Pennsylvania. But we will not pursue this unpleasant subject further. We hope thc time will never come when it will be necessary to employ force to preserve the Union, or to excel obedience from any one State. We think that the Government certainly possesses that power, but whilst such a vast number of the mighty minds of this land think differently, it can never be exercise! without shaking every pillar in this Confeder acy. Uy mildness, by justice, and by concession, we hold that more can be done, than by force. This " Union must be preserved." was the motto of Jackson. We of the Nofth must demand nothing but what is right, and the South will then be compelled to submit to nothing that is wrong. The loss of one State will sever the cords that bind the whole, whilst the acquisition of twenty new States would only give strength and durability .... . .

Reunion in New York. We' trust that the approaching Convention in New

York wHl secure a perfect re-union of the Democratic ; party, which has so long been estranged and divided by w lo -al and sectional isires. Tin- Democratic masses r , prepared fully to mwrch up to the old platform of 1S4U. 1344 and 184, and to testify their cordial approval of lne adjustment measures of the last Congress. It is nuw a crisis with the Democracy of that State. Evil counsels have heretofore prevailed. 1 lie remedy i roost - rrcibly illustrated in tho following extract from the liinghampton Democrat, edited by J. K. Dickinson, Esq., brother of the late Senator in Congress: " What we now want is true men, men, who in the - . hour of triumph or defeat, amid the storms of adversity i or nrosncritv . will sf ami hv the colors of the Democratic J : I cause. The Democratic parly, as a partr, reimres ; more coura2e and less taropc. ing.-more boldness and I less credulity, more confidence in its own strength and that the French army on the banks of the Rhine bad vicl.l.'rl r liK.l th T.. i Muri.. tl. flm .nkir nl Il.mti. i ties amid consternation asked What is required? The iron-nerved Danton ascended the tribune, and in his ! stentorian voice answered Boldness! Boldness! Give us boldness; bold men, who will stand by the principles and poIjoy 'of the Naljon&, Dern0cratic party, and you j will give the party success. The Democratic party in I this State has been endeavoring ftw the last few years to vomit lorth tue political dreg 01 Aboiiiionism. wnicn has bcen administered to it hv a few political miacks and been eating out its very vitality, and unless thrown off by bold and decisive remedies, the recovery is a hopeless one. These are no times for men with faint hearts or easy virtues. A party cannot give character to men, but men can give character to the party. Give ns men, then, who, 4 sink or swim,' will stand by the well known nd avowed principles ol the Actional Democracy, who have fought under its banner and never disgraced its creed. With 8Uch men and none other as a ?ty, can 1 we hope to succeed, and leave victory to crown our 1 cflorts. M. C. Garber and his Paper. We shall not notice the continued attacks of this man through the columns of bis paper. The Democratic r t a- j partv of Jcflcrson count v have cxeomm 1111 1 at ed him , for ; sro,;iy undemocralic co-dt. He now speak, for M. ; C. Garber and for no one else. The nartv is not reanon. - ' sibie for the micrabc carbase every dav thrown out of the Courier office. There is one thing, however, which mnst f,ir(.VPr Hetrov him m the estimation of .11 honor. I W able men. A private letter written at Washington city, and plainly directed to William M. Taylor, Madison, Indiana, never reached Mr. Taylor. In a short time afterwards this private letter was published in the Madison Conner; Mr. Garber, the publisher, refuses to say how that letter came to bis possession. It was surreptitiously obtained by somebody, and feloniously opened by some one, and until this felonious transaction is explained, we can have no controversy with him. O" This is a free country. We have a right to crow and will crow!" What plea Jo you file to our claiming this right, Mr. Brown, editor Sentinel and ex-member of Congress? Will you loan us your rooster while we rejoice over the result of the election in Tennessee? We feel a little like crowing. Cock a-doodlc-do! If'atfe River Standard. Wo will not only give you the right to crow but will lend yon our rooster. The policy of Hop. Torney, exGovernor Brown and Gen. Trousdale, in not zealously supporting the compromise measures, threw suspicion on the whole party, and the only wonder is that re had not been worse beaten. We will crow over the election of six sound Union Democrats to Congress, and you m iy crow over the election of Campbell as much as yon please. We have no tears to shed over the defeat of Trousdale. So flap your red wings and make the hills vocal with your cockly music. Tenth District. We clip the following just and appropriate remarks from the Bedford Standard: We were mistaken in publishing in our last number the election of Judge Borden to Congress from the 10th district in this State, The State Sentinel of the 9th as. sures us that Brenton. a free soil wbig, is the successful candidate, beating the judge by a small majority. Whigs who contribute to such a result are without ex Lucd ,,y the jeaae-r8 ol thc democratic party. aJ as much as we deprecate the length to which they cany cuse. As strongly as we are opposed to the poli-y pur. their feeling and prejudices in securing power and place, we would nevertheless prefer the election of the most ultra in preference to a self styled whig wbo is in favor of agitating those sectional questions which arrays one section of the Union against another, thus weakening our bonds and tending to civil war. We are first for onr country; that secured, we are then for our party and that party must present an unbroken front for the Union no agitation. CT Alexander Hamilton Stephens has been nominated for Congress by tbe Union Convention in the Seventh District. Georgia. Mr. Stephens has been a Representative from the same District for the last eight years. He is a gentleman of brilliant talents, but for several years past his health has been failing, and until recently t was supposed he would not return to Congress. HZTWe are pleased to see that no Whig paper in the State has re-published thc gross, vulgar and malicious assaults of Hackleman, of the Rushville Republican, on Senator Bright. Such vindictiveness always carries with it an effectual remedy. Liar, Scoundrel, V. ban and all such epithets, are the common weapons of very mean people, and the only mode of defence is to get out of the way. There is more bravery in running from ( a srUnk than fighting it. Just so with the assaults of sucn men ag Hackleman. " The Democrats are tired of Robinson," says Judge Hackleman. If we are to judge by the last number of the Republican, we should think Hackleman was getting "red of him. Whiggery, about Rushville, is becoming exceedingly bilious. Texas Elections. Peter H. Bell, democrat, has been elected Governor of Texas by a large majority, and Richardson Scurry and Volney E. Howard, democrats, are elected to Concress. Houston and Donglas.
