INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WILLIAM J. BROWN, Editor. INDIANAPOLIS: SATURDAY EVEKING, AUGIST 30, 1851.

The Democratic Convention. The adoption of the New Constitution makes the co llection in Indiana to be held in October, IS02, of more than ordinary importance. By the provi. eiaoa of this new organic law, the election of the following State officer will devolve on the people: A Governor; Lieutenant Governor ; Secretary, Treasurer, and Auditor of State; Superintendent of Public Instruction ; Three or live Judges of the Supreme Court, (the number yet to be fixed by the legislature.) This election will occnr hut a lew days before the great Presidential battle of 1352, and to succeed in the latter, we most be united and triumphant in the State eon test. It must be no partial victory. Tbo Whigs, knowing their weakness, will not, iu our opinion, give us general battle, but will endeavor to cut us up in detail by nominating a part of our ticket, or by running independent candidates, and concentrating the vote of the party on them, without the aid of conventions. They will make no effort to elect a full Whig ticket. The datv of the Democratic party, it seems to us, is i very plain. It is by a Convention of Delegates from the different counties, to nominate a ticket that will receive the entire vote of the Democracy of the State, inscribe oar principles on our Hag, and go iuto tho battle field presenting a united front. We may then defy the assaults el our old political opponents, or any new faction that may be temporarily organised for our overthrow. When shall the Convention be hvldi is a ryuestioR frequently propounded". ft is die duty of the State Central Committee to call this Convention, but as they reside here at the centre, they would no doubt be gratified to v,., r r,m iv,a rvrr.r.r Utai II t ALM l. OOiU" f I i ' v I iv II Ii was suv -aTmaa v. a v j va other sections of the State. Democratic State Conventions have always been held on the Sth of Jaunary. We admit that we have a great partiality for that Hoiious day, but as the election has been changed from August to October, a later period for the Convention might le a . . a .a 1. m I & better; iesides, the ucgisiaiurc, w nu n meets me nrsi Monday in December, most district the State into Judicial Districts, for the election of Supreme Judges, and determine the number, before the Convention can make the nominations. This has led to the suggestion of the ?2d of February, as a suitable day. This day would enable the Legislature to complete their necessary action for the organization of the Court. The 1st of May has also been suggested. Tho objections to this d:iy, in our opinion, are twofold. First, it will be a time when that portion of the Democratic party engaged in agricultural pursuits, which is by far the largest division, will be busily engt jed in planting; and we fear that, at that season, tho laboring interest would not be well represented. The county of Marion, and the adjoining counties, would have large delegations, whilst the distant sections of the State would present but meagre lists. We shall hereafter have something to say in relation to the manner of conducting Conventions in Indiana. They have heretofore been little else than Mass Meetings of the Democracy. In Pennsylvania, and most of the Eastern States, the delegates aro appointed , under a fixed ratio, according to population. In that eaac tho delegate feels the responsibility of his position. 1 H is the representative, regularly chosen, of the party in his district, and generally bears with him the insiruc.ions of the people. In the absence of ibis system, we ! are in favor of holding the Convention during the session 1 of the Legislature, when wc shall have at least one hun dred Representatives of the People here at the Capital, who will understand the responsibility of this important duty, and who will not likely be influenced by any oilier motives than ibe success of our party, and the triumph of our principles. For these reasons wc prefer the 22d of February. This will give time to perfect the necessary legislation. It will be at a season when farmers can attend without loss. The Legislature is iu session, which will ensure a fuller rprcentaf ion We do not mean, how ever, to dictate. We have nastily thrown together these suggestions, for the consideration of our Democratic friends. When public sentiment is concentrated, and the Central Committee acts, we shall cordi ally co-operate, as to the time and manner of holding ' he Convention, and shall zealously support the nominees of that Convention. Will our Democratic brethren of the press give us their views? Will the members of the party throughout the State favor us with their suggestions? In that way we can arrive at public opinion, and act accordingly. ITThe State Sentinel publishes an article on the subjcet of Colonization, ind credits it to the Detroit Free Inch is taken almost IkkIiIv from an article i which originally appeared in the Ledger. The Sentinel .... a. so uas anotner snort article ol ours, lor which it might well have given us credit. yew Albany Ledtrer. If we had taken the article here alluded to " almost bodily ' from the Ledger without credit, the editors might have very justly complained. The article in question was copied from the Detroit Free Press. In that paper it appeared as an editorial, and wc gave credit accordingly. It may have appeared in the Ledger, but lt so lt escaped our attention. We never have, and K.n v-.-.i- r- ,.. r I ..-. , . ual rathreu to complain. Mistakes will sometimes occur M the best regulated offices. A short time since a news paragraph was copied from our paper into th'j Ledger and the credit given to the Indiana Jour,n. We had no doubt, at the time, that it was one of those excusable mistakes for which no one should be censured , and did not complain. We hope this will be sufficient apology to the Ledger. Reported Capture of Lopez. The New York Journal of Ccmmerct of the 25th inst., says that ,:a well informed Spanish gentleman, in intimate intercourse with the Minister of Spain in this country, state that a despatch addressed to the Minister, Don Calderon de la Barca, was put oo board the Cherokee at the moment of her departure from Havana, announcing the capture of Gen. Lopez by the government troops. The Minister, who received it in this city, sent the Secretary of the Legation, with the intelligence, to Spain, by the steamer Humboldt, which sailed on Saturday." The aame paper also learns from a private iotter, written to a young man here by his relative in Havana, that, previous to his capture, Lopez was wounded, having satained the loss of an arm by a shot. Mississippi aad Atlantic Railway. Judge Underwood, of Illinois has decided, on a proceeding in the natora of a Quo Warranto, that this Railroad Company has the right to construct the road from Sc.

Flag of the Cuban Republ ic.

i Our readers have already learned the particulars of the recent revolutionary movement in the island of Cuba, ax far as they have reached this country. Above is an engraving of the flag of " the new Republic," executed by Mr. J. B Dunlap, of this city. The Cuban colors are the true Red, White and Blue. The star in the flag is white, while the triangle, of which it is the centre, is red, and the two outer and middle stripes are blue, the two remaining stripes being white. Connty Agricnltaral Societies. The following counties have erganized Agricultural Societies under the law of last session: Morgan, Elkhart, Marion, St. Joseph. Putnam, Laporte, Hendricks, Vigo, , Tippecanoe, Montgomery, Wayne, Parke, Lawrence, Monroe, Henry, and Kosciusko. We learn that the following counties will hold Faira this fall, via: Morgan, Dr. Wylie of Bloomington, to deliver the Address; Elkhart E. M. Chamberlain to deliver the Address; St. Joseph Address by J. L. Jcrnegan; Wayne, Address by Gov. Wright; Putnam, Parke, Lawrence, Tippecanoe, Vigo, and Kosciusko. E?" The New York Express, sneaking of the Indiana election, says : "If Brenton is woolly, so are two or throe of the Democratic membtrs." We are happy to inform of our friend Brooks, who is a member of the next Congress, that eight Democrats and one Whig from Indiana will be found with I. im sustaining the Adjustmcnt measures of the last Congress; and that Rev. Mr. Brenton, Freesoil Whig, will be the only one who will l - - he found voting against them. Is this not doing well for Indiana? It might have been better, we admit.

Massachusetts. T! e Boston Post says the Democratic Convention of Massachusetts was the largest assembly of Democratic delegates ever assembled in that State. The following arc the resolutions adopted by the Convention: 1st. Rrsolicd, TLat the Democratic party is pre-emi nently national and not sectional, and for the Union as - . . m . - i . . a whole Union ; that it has always sustained and can only retain its supremacy in the Union hy adhering to its own men and measures, reposing on its fundame.ital princi pie ol excluding all tests marked by sectional lines, i South or North, East or West, and by leaving to the sound senae ot the people ol each State and territory their domestic policy and institutions. "I Resolved, That this convention recommend to the National Democratic Committee, and to the Democracy of each State, the call of a National Convention, to be held in Baltimore in May, 1852. 3d.

Resolved, That the Baltimore platform covers, and was intended to embrace, the whole question of slave agitation in Congress, and therefore we go for a faithful execution of, and acquiescence in all the compromise measures settled bv the last Congress. 8th. Resolved, That Charlea G. Greene, of Suffolk, Henry H. Childs, of Berkshire, and Isaac Davis of Worcester, be appointed the delegates at large, and one !rom ,,,e new District, and that they' be instructed to act m coninimiiy wuu tneso resolutions; ana mat it is recommended to tbo several Congressional Districts in the commonwealth tofelect delegates respectively who will j harmonize with the National Democracy of the Union in tnese principles. New York. LBSfl The Democrats of this State meet in Convention at 8yracnsc on the 10th of September. A straggle may be expected, of course, between the so-called Barnburners and the Democrats who rally on the National platform. Much interest is felt for the issue , but the' indications, so far, are healthy in the extreme. The National Democrat have evidently resolved upon thoir course, which is to insist upon the boldest avowal of National Democrat ic principles, as the only bond of focal success and of general union. Indeed, without such an avowal, no success would be honorable. Defeat in defending gr- . t principles is never disgrace, and victory on the same side is made doubly glorious because it has been achieved in their vindication. We have often mourned for the division of our friends in New York ; bat we would rather see them separated by great principle, than united l y the sacrifice of principles.

Also, that on the 20th instant, the aame paper con tamed the following: We have every reason to know that the Governor . .-. . . ..... . - loathes and despises the traitoi ; thus allowing lumsell to be caught in another falsehood." It is seldom I feel called upon to notice, publicly, tlte comments of the press, either upon my official nets or my private sentiments ; but I feel that it would lie a der eliction of duty to myself, and to the editor of the Cou ! rier, if I hesitated in promptly and emphatically denying that the editor of the Madisonian had any authority from ... . . - J . . me. directly or indirectly, for his assertions in these parrranhs With ilia controversy between these gentlcmen.

I seldom see the Madisonian. bat have been a subscriber to the Courier since the commencement of my administration, and am free to sav, that, iu his support of the candidates of the party, I have every reasou to regard Mr. Garber as a consistent Democrat. My personal acquaintance with him is limited, but has entitled him to my respect To the measnres of my administration he has certainly . . yielded a cordial support, and that, too, voluntarily, aud without any solicitation or overtures on my part. Indeed, were it otherwise, regarding, as I do, tho freedom of tha nrau tha crcal nnl ! allium nf human richtx. I should feel mvwlf unworthy of the name of a Repuhlican, if, bv any word or act ol mine, I should bo instrumental in muzzling that press, or in ostracising even one of its humb it conductors. Very respectfully, your oledient servant. JOSEPH A. WRIGHT. We copy the aliove letter as an act of justice to the parties concerned, and as a part of the history of the times. This letter hns given great joy to the Whig, who have recently taken Garber to their embrace. They chueklo over the idea that il is the first step in breaking up the late adjustment between the Governor and Senator Bright. In this they are mistaken. We see in il nothing of tho kind, and arc sure nothing of the kind was intended. The settlement between Gov. Wiight and Mr. Bright related alone to personal not political , matters, fhey arc personal DrwMi but a such they may differ on political topics. Honest men and friends often do dider on political questions. The Governor's letter relates to a political question. Senator Bright is in no way involved in the matter. We certainly do not concur with the Governor's very partial endorsement of the Madison Courier, yet he nevertheless hnd a perfect j right to make it. It is known that differences had existed between the Democracy of Jetlerson county and Mr. Garber, who assumed to be their organ. The Democracy in Convention nominr.tcd a lickct that received 1 the united support of the Democracy, and at the same ! time resolved that the course of Mr. Garber, as Editor ! of the Courier, was disorganizing, and fraught with mischievous consequences to the party, and as an act of justice to the party and their principles they openly repudiated him and bis disorganizing sheet, and took nie, surcs for the establishment of a sound Democratic paper. Such a paper the Madisoniaii has been established. Garber is still struggling to maintain his position, and j u0,nS 80 maKCS war on le Priy in jciicron counIf I i .i. . r tr ty . on the Democratic mcmlicrs ol the Itc Congress in both branches, and on the late Legislature of Indiana. In a conflict between Garber and the Democracy of Jcfferson county, it might not have been prudent for Gov. Wright to have taken aides; but that has nothing to do with the adjustment of personal dillictilties between him and Senator Bright, and our Whig friends may dismiss all their hopes on this subject. It will not redound to their benefit. Cuba. We arc w ithout farther news from Cuba. The fate of Lopez and his folioweis is still shrouded in painful uncertainty. Tho news has been of the most contradictory character. If he is safe he will be rescued by the thousands of armed mcu that arc now hastening to his relief. On the 23th nit. two thousand men were waiting for transport at New Orleans, and patriots wery organizing in Georgia and all along the coast of Florida. Thousands are pouring down the Mississippi. Every steamer is loaded. Whatever may be the late of Lopez, Spanish rale in Cuba is at an end. The blood of forty murdered American citizens cries from the ground for evongo. That erne) and savage deed will be the death knell of despotic sway. The cords are snapping and Cuba will soon be free The flag of independence will take the place of the hated Spanish ensign on the strong fortress of Moro. The valleys will be made vocal with the songs of liberty, and every mountain crag will have a tongue to echo back the joyous notes of freedom. The Republic of the Antilles will rise from the ruins of Cas tilian power. England, it is said, will come to the rescue of Spain if so, the United States should fly to the rescue ol an oppressed people. None bat cowards will be at.ite. More Higher Lnw. The higher law is to be invoked, to nullify tho recent action of the people on the Thirteenth Article of the New Constitution. The people have spoken in favor of it, by an unprecedented majority. The Legislature, sleeted at the same time, and by the same voters, will Pass laws to "iv.- force and effect to this cla'iv Severe laws will be passed, to prohibit the further emigration of persons of color to this State. Suitable penalties will be provided for all violations, and tho law will he enfor ced. The True Democrat admits tiiat it is evidence of the strong pro-slavery reaction which is now going on in this State, but as a reined v to prevent tiie ex eu lion of thcfc0 enactments, he invokes the aid of the higher , law in IIIC UUOWiag manner: " It will bo a complete nullit j from the start, in every . part nf the State which can boast of being even half ci vilixed. Hundreds and thousands who voted lor it would he the last men to assist in enforcing it. even supposing that to be practicable. The people of the State have thus voluntarily and gratuitously published to the world, 1 through their fundamental law, that they are barbarians, by the adoption of this clause, which their own better reason will soon be ashamed of, ami their own hearts would even now repudiate." ILTThc leaders of the domocraey may well be interested in the selection of our endidute for the Presidency. They would prefer any body else to Gon. Scott. Indiana Journal. We know of no democrat who feels any interest in the selection of the whig candidate. We would as soon make battle against Scott as any body. When he fights tho democracy he will find he has a different sort of enemy to deal with than he had in Mexico. We intend to beat the whig candidate. So bring on your tall cap- , tain with his " yailer " plume. Tennessee Elections. Messrs. Johnson, Churchwcll, Savage, Polk, Harris, and Staunton, democrats, and Williams, Culluni, Gentry, and Watkins, whigs. have beon elected to Congress. The delegation stands the same as in the last Congress seven democrats and four whigs. The whigs gained the Nashville and lost the Knoxvillc district. T A convenient way to avoid answering an argument, is to pronooee it "obsolete." See the Sentinel of yesterday. Indiana Journal. We have the example of Daniel Webster. Tho National Bank, says tho Godlike, is an "obsolete idea." Tbis was the last straw, that broke the camel's back. .' v Tiie next election will take place in Vermont on Tuesday next, 2d September, for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, and Legiglaturo.

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER , 1851.

BZTTho Madisoniar of Friday last contain a well drawn picture of the politica tergiversations, inconsis tencies and heresies of the Madison Courier, in which tbr sentence occurs: " Yet the above infamous article only serves in the eyes of some men to illustrate the consistency of Garber's Democracy." By this remark we understand Mr. Sproule to refer to Governor Wright's recent letter to certain citizens at Madison, In relation to that letter, which we published veaterday .. ... i . with some comment., we wish to be understood that we neither endorse the letter nor the jlicy which induced the Govurnor to write it; bat if any one infers from either ihe letter or our comments, tat Governor Wright intended to endorse what Mr. Garber has said in oppo. sition to the compromise measures, or the fugitive slave law, they are mistaken. We feel authorised to say tha no such thing was intended. Nor does he endorse the assaults of Garber on Col. Gorman, J. L. Robinson, Senator Bright, or any one else. Nor does the Gover nor, as he assures us, intend to be understood as taking sides with Mr. Garber in opposition to the Democrats of Jefferson county. He only endorses his support of the regular candidates of the party, atti thanks the Courier man for the support of his administration, which he says was unsolicited. Now we think the Governor could not have known of Mr. Garber's opposition to Capt- Hendricks, the democratic candidate for Representative in Jefferson county who received the party vote; and as to his support of the Governor's adininistratioo, we think that it has not added much to its popularity in Jefferson county, at least we should regard the support of such a man as Garber as a duad weight. We are glad to know that Governor Wright endorses the opposition of no man or no paper to the compromise measures. He could not do so without being guilty of such an act of political inconsistency, as should' sink him in the estimation of all honorable men. Governor Wright was one of the earliest supporters of the compromise measures In April, 1850, he wrote to the writer of this article, wiio was then a member of Congress, a strong letter urging him to vote for Mr. Clay's compromise bill, commonly known as the " Omnibus." One of these letters was published in the Baltimorn . . Sun. In June, the same year, in his invitation to Gov Crittenden, he was clear and decided in favor of the ad jiistmcnt; and in July following, in his charge to Presi dent Berry, he even travelled out of the beaten track to express his views fully on these questions. These opinions were published leforc the passage of the peace measures. Afterwards, in his annual message, he endorsed them fully, and the extract was published with general commendation, by the national democratic presses throughout the country. We have felt it due to Governor Wright to make these comments. When wc hear of him denouncing these great measures which we honestly believe were necesaary to save thi Union, when we find him endorsing their opponents, wc shall then speak of him in a different tone. We have known Governor Wright for twenty years. He is a man of, warm and ardent attachments. Easily excited, his j sympathies are quickly aroused . The appeals of Gar- i bcr and his friends to save the bread for his children, ! would induce the Governor to write just such a letter as he did, without thinking of the consequences. Wc ., . ., , ... . J ? . l , , think the letter will not do Garber much good, and we . , , ... , , hope it will nol be construed to the injury of the Gover - 1 The Convention. The Rnshville JacKsonian contains some very sensible remarks in relation to the next Democratic Convention. The Editor recommends the first of May as the time for holding the State Convention. He however is mistaken in one matter. The next Legislature meets the first Monday :n December and not in January as stated. The Legislature will be iu session five weeks before the ih of January, which will be scarcely time sufficient to divide tho State into judicial and congressional districts. Wo shall carefully note these suggestions. By this means we shall be able to arrive at public sentiment as to the proper time for the Convention. Ohio. The Democracy of Hamilton county, Ohio, have nominated the following ticket: For Senators Adam N. Riddle, J. L. Vattier, E. L. Armstrong. Representatives W. H. Lytle, T. F. Eckert, Oliver Brown, B. T. Dale, R. H. Stone, James Struble, John B. St hier. Charles L. Weiler has been nominated for Representative in Butler county. The election takes place on the second Tuesday of October. FC" Tho Whigs of Greene county want John Fudge to be the nominee of their District for State Senator. Fudge! Cincinnati Enquirer. This reminds as of an incident. Some time since, a rare specimen of the Kentucky stock found his way into Congress. In a moment of excitement, he got into a fight with a hackman by the name of Fudge, and at the end of the battle found himself minus an car. He seemed deeply distressed, and in bis soliloquies he thus broke forth: " My constituents will forgive me for fighting they'll excuse the loss of my ear; but. oh! my God! to have it bit off by Fudge! Fudge! Fudge! They'll nevor stand the name." CT" Mr. Fillmore ;s a good Whig, and has made a good President. Other eminent Whigs would make good Presidents, if they could get votes enouph.

Death of Got. M" Dowel I. We cannot permit the death of this distinguished orator, profound statesman, and exemplary Christian, to pass with a mere notice as communicated by telegraph. Ho had long held a high position among the prominent statesmen of the Old Dominion. In the Convention which formed the Constitution of Virginia in 1S30, he ' grappled with the master minus ol mat ihxij in iavor o. the great principle of gradual emancipation, tie was i afterward Governor, and for six years has been a mcmlicr of Congress from his native district in tiie valley of the Shnnendoab. Ho was the only man in Congress, after the death of Mr. Adams, who commanded the undivided and universal attention of the House in debate. His speeches were replete with patriotism and burning eloquence, which always produced a deep and lasting impression. One of the Counties.

D The Editor of the Bedlord Standard is a queer - .. ,, . . fellow for a lug. He talks just as he pleases. Whilst 1 , . almost every V hig paper in the country is throwing ice j on the efforts of struggling Cuba, whilst every one who dares to lift a hand to aid them is denounced as a pirate and an outlaw, the Standard Editor speaks out like a Democrat, and like a patriot, who has an American heart in his bosom, to sympathise with the oppressed struggling for freedom: " We are for Cuban lilierty. and if necessary for the accomplishment of this desirable and patriotic end, we are for Cuban annexation. Certainly, an Island as rich and fertile, regarded the Eden of the world, whose inhabitants, if permitted the enjoyment of civil and religious liberty, might attain to the first degrees of refinement in all I he arts and sciences, almost, we may aay, under the shadow of the American Government, cannot be expected long to groan under sneh a state of vassalage, when the progress of intelligence and the benefit of liberty are being diffused throughout the remotest parts of the worH. The pnncipiis of liberty arc valuable to all people, "d all people should Iks in ihcir enjoyment. The light of the Gospel is disseminating truth and dispelling error. and should it not be the wish as well as the policy of our Government to aid, by all lawful means, those of our fellow men, in different lands, to assert their rights aad claim independence."

The Centreville Wh!g interrogates the Indiana State Journal in the following manner: " Will the editor of the Indiana State Journal, who has so warmly espoused the claims of Gen. Scott for the Presidency, inform us why Mr. Fillmore is to bs repudiated? What has he done to forfeit the confidence of the Whig party, or that of the nation? He is snrely Whig enough to suit Bro.

At Lewiston Falls, Mc, by the attention of Mr. Loring Wing, we had an opportunity of witnessing the process of making bricks by steam, at the establishment of Messrs. Woodworth & Moore, of Boston, located at that place, foi which Mr. Wing has just completed the machinery. The clay is ground up. pulverised, ana bolted as fine as mea. In this state, entirely dry except moistening the n,ud to prevent adhcuoii, the clay ia turned into eight boxes of the size of the bricks, and they undergo a pres sure of six hunJrcd tons. The machinery ihco ri.es thc bricks and pushes them forward, while the moulds arc filling: and then another revolution produces eight more. Seven revolutions are made m a minute, producing fiftv-six bricks, so hard when taken from the machine 9 I thai wheelbarrow loads of ciixhlv are naoked un tocether without marking them in the feast. The bricks come from the kiln with a bcautilnl. smooth and straight aarface, eo,ual to any presssd bricks we have seen brought to our market. With this machinery twenty men can make thirty thousand bricks in a day. There being so evaporation, thc burning can be made with a great saving of fuel. Thirty-live cords of wood will barn one hundred thoasnd. The machine is the only one in the coao'ry and the first products will soon be for public exhibition It i destined to make not only a great improvement is the manufacture, but also add much to the beauty of structures for which bricks are used.
