THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 25, 1SÖI.

Democratic State Convention. The last Democratic State Convention held in Indiana, was on the Stli ol January, 1819. At that Convention, a Statj Central Committee was selected to serve until . 1. " . i II I . I -- . e appomteu WN has prepared a Circular, which w ill he found below, re commending the 21th day of Fchruary next, as the time for holding the next State Convention. Tin 22d of the the same month comes on Sunday, hence the selection of the 2 J tli . The Circular explains fully the reasons which prompted the Committee to name this as the best time j 'r holding the Convention, and we think they wiil he satislactory to the mass of the Democracy. The coming Convention will he the n.ost important on W held in the Stete, being the fust unde. the new I m, . I ..I vwwniiiiv. wo ws-ji-t- rcc vuij vuimiv hi mr State well represented. The Democracy should endca Tor to have a full Convention, and we doubt not, with proper exertions, such w ill be the case. Democratic newspapers throughout the State are requested to give publicity to the following Ciicular: CIRCULAR OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. We have eude.ivoied lo ascertain, tbruugfa the medium of the Democratic pi ess of the State, and Democrats visiting t ie Capital, the time indicated hy pwliliu sei.ii itient for the holduii; of our next Deniocratie State C"iiventii n. The ciieiiinstaiiee thai ihe Judges of the Sulueoie Court are heiealler to he eleite.l hy the people, mid that their number, and lb." districts from winch that are to be ciiosen. have to he fixed hy the next L -oila-ture, has induced u very general opinion that the Con veil' ion ought to assemble at a later pciiod than usual, in onler that a reasonable eel t linty may exist that ihe nnmlier and districts of the Judges will have been fixed h-. liue the Convent ion shall h ivc met. This opinion lias also been strengthened bv t.ie probability that the next Legislature may, alter the usual period ol holding the Convention, create new ollici-s to lie tilled bv M.pulai vote at the. ensuing General Election, and uiso by the " eiimstani-e that the election will hereafter be held in O -toiier. instead of Anrut as heretofore. We have. therclo,e, lixcl upon the TWENTVF0ÜRTH DAY OF FEIJllUAKY m xt. as a suiiablc time for holding the Coiiventi n. and respectfully recommend to Hie people tbat it be tbeu licld. The offices for which candidates will tic selected, wBl be those "I Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary. Treasurer and Auditor ol' Siale.

The impoi t nice of the offices for which candidates an to lie selected, ns well ns of the political campaign just hef 're us, will, it is hoped, lend to the selection, as dele gates, ol efficient Democrats, true to principle, and in ure a lull and lair representation or the people.

The existence of an individual right or charter being thus lar settlrd. Gen. Almonte was invited to negotiate for the purchase of two-thirds, or at least nni half, ol the G".my juiciest, which, if obtained, was to be put in ditircs, and tlie worfl mt loul in earnest, by the Aine-r-rm and liish cai.il tlists who made the puller. Nu .U xioan, ol any influence or character, objected to this . . . arrangement; lor it did ie t a'liiut the honor or sovereignty, while it insured rank to tbe nation and rev. line to the people of Mexico. But suddenly aebiuior was raised, ami the suspicions of the Mexic-.ii Government were industriously directed against the agents of Ameiicm buyers, under the absurd pretext of their being spies. A little silling seemed to fix the origin of these dangerous attacks on t'ie british Consul, whom it was soon as. orriaincd beyond denial was purchasing Gat ay's interest hiinscll, mal laborii g t.i pioeure the intei position of England if the United Stales should altem; to claim the right of way without compounding with him. In brief, the Amiicau negotiators were foiled. The British Consul had substituted liiiusc'f for the original jriinlces, and for the Mexican Government ; and lor a time the participation of any share in this noble undertaking was dented to our citizens. The wonder and the mystery lies deeper that this however. The shutting out of individual Ainet leans it oiu sharing in the constiuction and profits of the highway across the Isthmus did not necessarily shut out ihe people of the United States from using and protecting ibis peeilcss, this necessary artery of trade and communication. By whose default, by what trick of diplomav was ibis precious advantage rifled fiomour victorious liar Is?

Only this is certain that the Cabinet through :il!

On this, Mr. Trist was despatched, but in the interval between this and his arrival, an intimate friend of the Briiish Consul publicly dei laretl, that il was resolved not to permit the Americans in in in tbe pass of Tehua ntcec or any footing therein: that H.

After this Imld alteration, tbe Consul had a deep inter eat in having tbe treaty acknowledged, and he was inife aa busy as Mr. Tri.t in gathering up the estrays f the Mexi'-an government.

opinion is the great lever which upturns law, and even destroys governments; and when public op ni n in tl is country stands in opposition to law, it is, to use the language of Auditor Ellis, '-a dead letter on the stntute book." The Fugitive Slave Law is but canying out, in detail, t'uo express provisions of a plain covenant between the State, winch is to be found in tbe Constitution, our bond of the Union; and the only question for us to decide is, will we comply with jur part of the contract? Nothing but the higher law, which sets at defiance all human laws aud human contracts, can release US. The recent terrible tragedy and riot at Chiistiana, is the fiuit of such monstrous doctrines. The Freesoil papers, instead of condemning, endeavor to palliate and excuse the inn (liters. Greeley of the Tribune, who is w .. , .1 f .1 I Julians atiti.-or for the sentiment be embodies in Lis tuentrevitie resolution, says: ' For our part wc are as deeply shocked at the bloodshed which has taken place as any ne, but we cannot hold the negroes guilty of the crime of murder. They acted against one law, it is true, but llu-y had and beton their side, and thai a law august and divine in origin, namely, the law of nature. Tin y defended an inalietiakaaritiat, namely, tbe right to their own persons. When that right is assailed, no human decree or enactment can annul the authority of the individual to defend it, and to defend it. if he think advisable, to the last." Again in the conclusion of a long article on this trage ly the same Editor s:iy: " We trust this melancholy event may not he without its use in fixing upon this enactment among us the character that it boats in other civilized countries. Let it be seen as it is, shameful and inhuman. For, ns we have aiid bei re, this ntTray is one of its legitimate fruits. In the Soul hem States, win re slavery is at Imme, bloouheil is a frequent circumstance in ntteinpts at recapture. In bringing the Tact upn our soil it is not surprising thai its most horrid accessories should come with it. Hnl for slaveiy siu-h things would not he ; but for the Fugitive Slave Law they would nut be in the Free btates." In this resolution nnd in the foregoing extracts are clearly foreshadowed the polk-J of this party who nre letei mined never to rest until sl.itery is abolished in the States, or this Union severed. Instead of sending their petitions lo Cogress for repeal, they will attempt la agitate be fur, tbe people. ' In such a conflict," said the notorious Seward of higher law memory, :-we shall succeed, for in the end we shall have with us the religions prejudices of tlie Nortli." For political purposes this Idoody J, -col, in would appeal t, the higher and holiei feelings of tlie heart, which in tlie end would redden the land with the blood of brothers, and make a wide and broad line of separation, marked by the black and smokine track of desolating war. Such men are the enemies ol the Urn-':. the enemies of human freedom," and (he enemies of progrcs.
