We nail our banner to the roast this morning, bearing upon it the names of Gen-rai FRANKLIN PIERCK, of New Hampshire, for President, anJ WILLIAM R. KING, of Alabama for Vice President. The wisdom displayed by the Baltimore Convention, in the election of these tried and true men, is commended by every Democrat in tins community. The enthusiasm which prevailed at the spontaneous ratification meeting held on Saturday evening was equal to that of 1344. The spirit that is now roanilested by the Democracy is a convincing proof that otir nominees are the eery bet men that could have been selected, upon whom to rally the entire united force of the Democracy, and to make certain the triumph oi its principles. Tn placing, theii names before the people, we are gratified in knowing that hi the yielding of personal .preference lor men, which secured their nomination, the enduring principles ot Democracy were not compromised, nor abandoned, but were re-affirmed and nationalised. Of our candidate for President the Whigs have already commenced sneeringly to ask, " Who is Franklin Pierce? '' This question the people -will answer, with as little satisfaction to the Whig party as they answered a similar question in 1844. Whiggery asked "Who is James K Polk?" and the people responded in thunder tones, at the polls, "He is onr President F But we can tell our raaders who this Frankliu Pierce is this obscure man in the eyes of Whiggery. Frankling Pierce is a native of the ,;oid Gianite Mountain State" a State wh'.ch, since her redemption from Federalism by tbe triumphant election of Benjamin Pierce, the Jackson candidate for Governor in 182y, has never faltered in ber devotion to Democracy. This Benjamin Pierce, who was re-elected in 1330, was tbe father of Franklin Pierce, who early imbibed the princi pies so dearly cherished by his father and his Democratic friends. At an early age, Franklin Pierce was a favor ite with the people, who honored him with their confi dence in 1331 by electing him to the Legislature of New Hampshire. He was re-elected in 1932, and at that session was choren peaker of the House of Representative. In IR33 he was elected to Congress from the Htitsboro' District; was re-elected in 1335 and again in 1337. New Hampshire rarely returns anyone to Congress alter four years service, and the honor of being thrice elected fnHs to bat few men, however talented. But higher honors still awaited him, for the people loved the man as a brother. In the stme year be was elected to the U. S. Saoate for the term of six years, one of the highest positions m the world, which he filled with both honor to his State and credit to himself. He remained in the Senate but f oar years, and tbe debates and Journals ol that body, amply show by his speeches and votes that be was an able, Arm, persevering patriot and statesman. He reaigned before the eipiration of tbe term for which 1 wa elected, and retired to hia home among tbe Granite Hills of his native State, where he remained until his country demanded hia services ia the war with Mexico. Aad here we will remark that tbe many bigb positions which bis State and country have honored him with, have mostly been unsought and sometimes thmst upon

lum . Indeed he lias declined places of honor and profit , . which have been tendered him by his party. He does not belong to that claas of selfish politician whose only trade is uttiee, and when he has accepted public stations i' has been only from a ase of duty which he owed hi coaatry. In Dec, 1346, Mr Polk tendered him a seat in his cabinet in nlaee of At tome v General Maon . He declined an

appointment which almost any man oiher than Franklin , Pierce would have readily accepted. At the solicita- , t.on of his New England friends, the Present appoint- ; ed him in March 1847, Br.gad.er General of the New England and New York volunteers. He at once proceeded to the seat of war, and landed at Vera Cruz in the month of June, 184 The main army was at Puebla awaiting the arrival oi General Pierce's column, before advancing upon the j city of Mexico. General Pierce left Vera Cruz on the lllk of July. 1847, with near 3000 men. having been - . .a a AI delayed until that time by the want of transportation Durinw Iiis march to Puebla no organized opposition was offered by the guerilleros, although he was conslantly annoyed anJ harrassed from the flanks, which cmsed him ome los in wounded, but no delay. The bridge of the Rio del Plan, a noble arch, had been deslroyed, in the hope of impeding his progress; but a few hours' work umeed to cut a road down the steep banks, and as the river was only a streamlet, the whole column and convoy passed without accident. At Jalapa he found some difficulty in obtaining supplies, but the threat of sending the civil authorities to the castle of Perote as prisoner had at once the desired eflect, and the supplies were furnished. General Pierce was met at Perote by a portion of General Smith's Brigade, who had distributed his for e along the road so as to clear it of any force that migut attempt to impede Pierce's progress. On the 6th ot August General Pierce entered Puebla with a force of 2424 men ol nil arms. His lo'- iiad leen pr.n. o pal I v from sickness, and the invalids had been left at Perote. The next day after Pierce's arrival the army commenced its march upon the Capital. The American army arrived in the valley of Micoex on the 13th of August, and on the 19th the battle of Contreras was fought and won. In this battle the gallant Pierce, whilst commanding his brigade in a dangerous attack on the enemy, was wounded by the fall of his horse, which, stumbling in a cleft of rocks, threw him heavily to the ground. His troops, during the 'hole contest, were in the most perilous position, yet he remained with them, notwithstanding his wound, until the close of the battle. The following incident which transpired during the battle, which we copy from '-Ripley's War with Mexico," will show where General Pierce was en that occasion : " Toward midnight tbe moon shone out for a brief AluleanJ the narrow road by which the batteries had advanced, became visible. Captain Magruder then the right ol availing himself ol Pillow' permission to re tire, to repair his losses and damages, fierce, no, although quite lame, remained upon the field, opposed it for some time, and it was not until the moon was nearly down that he gave his consent.'' The battle of Churubusco was fought on the '20th of Anifiist. General Pierce's brigade was stationed in the front rank and was ia tbe hottest of the tight, and at one time the troops under his command, as well as those of General Shields, were in a most critical position, being opposed by a force of rive to one. But tin danger was fared and the American army aas again victorious. After these battles the Mexicans proposed an armistice, and G.-neral Pierce was one of the Commissioners appointed by General Scott to negociate it. The armislice expired on the 5th of September. Hostilities again commenced with the battle of Molino del Rey. Genral Pierce's brigade wa-. stationed at San Borga, near three miles oil, and near the close of the contest was ordered, together with Riley's brigade to Molino del Rey, but before they arrived upon the field, Molino del Rey was carried and the enemy beating a retreat. General Pillow who commanded Pierce's and Riley's brigides, was afterward ordered to end two regiments to the Molino del Rey to cover the retreat of Gai land's and Cadw illadcrs's brigades, which were directed to fall back oiiTaenbaya. For this duty General Pierce was sent down with the second and ninth regiments, and, although ihe guns of Chapultepec were served spitefully upon them, the movement was accomplished without loss. General Pierce also, participated in the Bailie of Chapultapec, and the battles at the gates of lite City of Mexico. His superior officers speak in the liighest terms of his gall.intry. After the city of Mexico was taken, and negociati ns for peace were going on, General Pierce resigned his command and returned to ihe United States. We have endeavored, as briefly as possible, to give the leader a few points in the life of our chief standaid b arer in the national contest. Hereafter, we shall have more to say of him. Suffice it to say, that in him and our candidate for the Vice Presidency, William R. King, the Democracy have champions whom they may well be prond to honor with their snfliages. Of the talented statesman and present Vice President, (by virtue of his office of President of the Senate.) we shall speak hereafter. Legislative Summary.

The nomination for President was telegraphed from Baltimore at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and reached this city at ten minutes before three. Both Democrats and Whigs were anxiously awaiting the intelligence, and when it was announced, amid the booming of cannon, that Pierce was the man, the faces of the Democrats w-ere wreathed in smiles of joy, whilst those of the Whigs expanded like india-rubber. In the evening a spontaneous meeting was held at the State House, at which Frank F.merson presided, with E. W. H. Ellis, G. W. M.-Connel, G. W. Carr, J. A. Cravens, James Leviston, and W. H. English as Vice Presidents, and Austin H. Brown, O. B. Torbet, J. S. Spann, and Julius Bulticher as Secretaries. Mr. Emerson, on taking tbe Chair, stated the object of the meeting in an able address. A committee on resolutions was appointed, consisting of E. W. H. Ellis, W. E. Niblacl, J. A. Cravens, J. S. Hester, Geo. Berry, J. Leviston. Andrew Humphrey-;, M. D. Manson, N. Eddy, G. C. Mndget, and J. R. Slack, who reported the following i evolutions; Resolved, That the Democracy of Indiana hail the nomination of Gen. Franklin Pif.ri f. for the Presi-Jenc-y, as a proud, and enduring evidence of the devotion 0f ,iie Democracy of the Union to the great principles ol' the party which are, and ever should he, held paramount to their attachment to men; and that we recognize in him the hraye and gallant citizen-soldier, the , profound statesman, and the man of principle and integrity, as unyielding as the granite of his native hills. Resulted, That thi nomination, made in the spirit ol conciliation and compromise, is an earnest of the union and harmony, with which the National Democracy, Northern and Southern, forgetting ull dissensions and all sectional issues, will rally to the support of the ticket with a zeal and determination that must ensure success. Resolved, That the Democracy of Indiana will give to the ticket their cheerful, cordial and hearty support, and that, with the names of FRANKLIN PIERCE and WILLIAM R. KING inscribed upon theii banner, thev uuhesitatingly pledge to it the thirteen electoral votes of the state, by a majority satisfactory to their opponents, and to "the rest of mankind." Retolred, That we recommend to the Democracy of the State, the formation ol GRANI 1 L CLUBS, lor the discussion und dissetniuation of our principles, and to rally the party as one man for the great triumph in Noember. The meeting was then addressed by W. M. Saffer, A. G. Porter, Judge Wick, E. W. H. Ellis, and Ü. B.Tor bet, in eloquent and spirited speeches, which were freipiently interrupted by enthusiastic applause, The meeting, after giving three cheers for Pierce and ( King, adjourned to meet again on Saturday evening next, by which time it is anticipated that the delegates to the Convention will have returned. William K. King. The able manner in which this gentleman has presided over the United States Senate since Mr. Fillmore's accession to the Presidency is well known to the whole country. Mr. King has been Senator for many years ' from Alabama, and has already stood in the front tauk of the distinguished men of that body. During Mr. Polk's administration, he was Minister to France, aud.. on his return home, was again elected to the Senate, and i by his lr I low nit-mil. -i designated to preside over them, after General Taylor's death. His capacity for the station he already tills is undoubted, and that he will lie continued in his present position by the suffrages of the American people is beyond p i adventure or reasonable doubt. iLTProfessor W. C. Larrabee, lately elected by the General Conference of 'he M. E. Church, editor of the Laditi Repository , of this city, is fhe opposition candidate for the office of Superintendent of Common Schools in Indiana. If the Proles.sor accept the editorship, a new nomination for Superintendent will be made forthwith. Cincinnati GazetteIi Professor La, ral.ee is required to change his re-i-deuce from this State to Cincinnati, he will not accept the honor tendered him hy ihe General Conference. The present editor of the Ladies' Repository , Professor B. F. Tefll, has not resided at Cincinnati for near a year, and is now President of a college in the S'.-.te of New York. It will not become necessary for the Democratic party to make "a new nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction" so long as Prof. Larrabee is a citizen of Indiana, and he is very likely to remain in the Slate for some years yet; long enough, at least, to give the people of Indiana the benefit of his superintendence in carrying out an improved system of common schools. Steani-Firgate Missouri. Tbe Washington Republic states, officially, that according to tho anthority conferred by Congress on the Navy Department, and an appropriation of a sum not exceeding $30.000, (by the Navy Appropriation act of 3d March, 1851,) a contract was concluded with Messrs. Wells St Gowen, of Boston, to remove the wreck of the steam-frigate Missouri, from the bay of Gibraltar, for the sum of $59,000. Two years from the date of the contract (9ih of April, IS51)wasthe period stipulated for the completion of the work? It has been exected in less time, to tbe entire satisfaction of the British authorities at Gibraltar, and theharbor and anchorage at that port "are now perfectly freed from all the obstructions which the said wreck had caused to its navigation, and to the safety of the shipping lying there.'' 0The Northern Indiana Railway Company and the Commissioners of the Western section of tbe Buffalo and Mississippi road, made application to Judge McLean, of the U. S. Court, while at Washington, to allow an injunction to stay the Michigan Central Company from constructing a line to connect their road with Illinois through Indiana. The Judge, after full argument, refused the injunction. BT We heard it remarked on the street, on Saturday, that inasmuch as the Democrats had Polked the Whigs in 1844, they were in duty bound to Pierce them in 1852. Indeed, it will be a General Pierce into the vitals of Whiggery. CTIn every human condition foes lie in wait for u, invincible except by cheerfulness and equanimity.

Useful Books. We have received from 0. F. Parker, the agent,

Slor.-hard's Principles of chemistry ; Stewart' Moral and active Powers of Man; Reid's Intellectual Powers; Latham's English G rammer ; and Cicero on the Immor tality of the Soul : published by John Bartlett, of Cam btidge, Mass., in the very best style. Stockhard's Principles of Chemistry is well worthy ol the attention of the devotees to that important branch of Science. It excels all modern publication, in its extensiv .eaearoh, in its clearness and perspicuity of style, and in the many illustrations of experiments to lie me: with throughout its pages. It ia used in the different departments of Harvard University, and in many of the medical and other schools in-the East. It is strongly recommended also, by some of the most distinguished chemists in the United States. As to Stewart and Reid. we need to spy but little. The names of these men are too well known already. both in Europe and America, to require any notice from us. These books, besides being very excellent reprint of ihe latest English editions, have been much improved by Dr. Walker, a man revered and csteamed by all who have had the good fortune to become acquainted with him. We may also add that these are the only American or cheap editions of the works of these celebrated men. Latham's Grammer is "really needed. All the Knplish grammers that are current at the present time are either too simple and chidUh, orto obnlky and abstruse. Latham's, on the other hand, is concise and philosophical. It is tbe production of a great Philologist, who has done very much for the English langnage, and has been revised by a learned prolessor in this country Cicero on the Immortality of the Soul is a treasure that will be earnestly sought after by every lover of the classics. It contains the Tusculan Disputations, tbe Dream of Sripio, and extracts from the Dialogues on Old Age and Friendship, with English notes by Thomas Chase, a tutor in Harv.trd University. We need not commend the beautiful style of Cicero to the student of the Latin language. The subject, also, is one fraught with deep interest to every man especially the professor of the christian religion. In conclusion, we would ask all who fee! an interest in literature to call at Ross & Rays', next door to the Wright House, or at the agent's at Dr. Parker's room, in the Sentinel Luildings, and examine for themselves the above mentioned works. We also hope that Mr. Bartlett will never have cause to repent of his meritorious enterprise ; but will ci.nt'mne his labors in the cause of science generally. Thomas F. .Meagher. The N. Y. Times furnishes us with the following in reference to the personal appearance ol" this escaprd Irish exile, and his father's family. " Mr. M. is about 29 years of age, is very corpulent. mid his exposure to a southern sun gives him a dark. j - ,- ':.. O'Brien and Mitchell, were in cood ou-orlliir annanrnnria 1 1 i tt.itoc trial whun Ii a olau tt. health. Mrs. Meagher was unable to accompany him ar - " . " 9 - O in nis flight. He declines to make any statement as to the means by which he was enabled to effect his escape, as it would probably compromise those who assisted lum. We understand that Mr. M. is in the enjoyment of excellent health, and that the traveling through South America has tended to invigorate rather than to ' 1st i one him. He has, wc are informed, abundant means to enable him to live comfortably. His lather is estimated to be worth i.700,000, aud there are but three chil- J dren one the distinguished exile who has just reached . our shores, another who is a captain in the Pope's Guard at Rome, and a third is a barrister in the citv of

Dublin. The father is a member of the British Parlia ! ' Mr Pierce, becomin annoyed at the calls of Inment, and is also Chairman of the Wat er ford and Lime- political Iriead, toft the Tremont Hoa prnalsljf last

rick Railway Company." The Herald has an account of a levee helJ by Mr. Meagher, on Saturday last. It says, " he was waited upon by an immense number of persons, both Americans and Irishmen all of whom congratulated him upon his escajie. He freely onversed with them all, and readily answered such questions as were asked him, though he wftS Oros.examined rather freely by srue gentlemen. Am(nr lhose who p,e . som n. ,,, mo,t Pml. a - I nent ol the Whig and Jitmoeratic politicians. In reference to a remark of some person about Kossuth, Mr. Meagher said he was not opposed to Kossuth, for if be were, he would be only injuring his own cause, which was identical with that of Htingary. Kossuth and he were of the same vocation revolutionists.'' Daily trains, except Sundays, are running between Madison and Terre Haute and Muncie. The Lafayette road is open to Thorntowu, and the Pre-ident say a it will be completed to our city early in the fall. There is much said about the contemplated road from Springfield, Illinois, through Decatur. Danville, Covington Crawfbrdsville, Lebanon, and Noblesville to Ander son, to connect with the Bellefuntaine road. The railroad from Cincinnati, through Hamilton and Dayton is now opened to Greenville, within eleven miles of the terminus of the Bellefontaine road, and the graduation of that section in rapid progress. The Madison road is doing an increased heavy business and its stocks are above par. The travel on our railroads is gradually swelling, while the fieights show a very large increase over cor responding months last year There is a heavy force on the Central road and the company have sold their bonds on the best of terms. Railroad iron has raised $.0 per ton in England, and i American railroad securities are in demand The friends oi the contemplated railroad from Union to Fort Wayne, speak confidently of its construction. The opening celebration of the Bellefoniaiiie road is fixed for the 17th at Muncie, 54 miies from onr city The Lawrenceburgh road is being pushed forward with commendable energy. The friends of ;he Pern road are using laudable exertions to procure stock to complete the work, and wilh considerable success. The Jeffcrsonville road is soon to be completed to Co lumbus, its crossing of the Madison road. The New Albany road is advancing into the interior rapidly. The Crawfordsville road will be completed to Lafayette in a few days. The F. vans vi lie road is moving onward towards Yincennes to be extended to Terre Haute. There is much said in the papers of a very heavy force i to be put upon the Cincinnati and St. Louis road. Railroads are the order of the day, and the world is in motion in their construction. Kossuth at Buffalo. We clip from the Buffalo papers the following items connected with the visit of Gov. Kossuth to that city "Thursday afternoon, while tbe procession was proceeding up Main street, a person stepped up to tbe carriage in which Kossuth was, and threw into it a small piece of paper wrapped up. On opening it, it was found to contain the real "material aid' a $5 gold piece. Tri- rannnn laftll faiintl n ilv or turn .inrA lav tlir men erecting a stage on the Park, was presented to Gov. Kossuth." "Concert Hall was Allied to overflowing by the Oerman of onr oily, whom the Magyar had previously con. enteil to address. The whole affair wis enthusiastic and seemed to be mutually agreeahle " "The amount of money received hy Kossuth in this ft hl SÄS o Cket' Änd othprwise' ' in the hood of $1,000." . IC7G. H. Derby 8t Co., of .Cincinnati, are touched with a little "greenness" if they expect us to publish a long advertisement and take an old book for pay. Rief.. moiid Palladium. Them'a our sentiments. If western editors would j 8ive u,e " cuW houlder " to such publishers, they would be less annoyed with their circulars postage unpaid. O- We should answer the accusations even ot tbe most contemptible ; the yelping onr at a horse's hsels, is a pitiful brute, but he may causa an overthrow.

The telegraph accounts sent to all parts of the country giving a one-sided view of the reception which the Democratic nominees have met with at the South and else where, compels ns to believe ihai the men who furnish news reports t? the telegraphic operators, are the hired tools of Whig politicians. A moments glance at those of to-day will convince the impartial reader of the truth of onr remarks. The sooner the managers of the Tele graph throw these hired reporters overboard, the better. If they desire to make their iines the medium for tbe dissemination of Whig news alone, let thein say so, and the Democratic party will cease to patronize them. The despatches which we copy below, are taken from the Madison Banner, and were received by the O'Rielly Line. Philadelphia, June 7. A ratification meeting was held in Monument Square on Saturdav Right. Speakers here were enthusiastic, and raised some enthusiasm among the people, who yield Cass with sreat reluctance. A better feeling prevails since, at Hie prospect ol i.reakina up cliques ol ottice seekers, who had parcelled out offices in case ol the sueeess of Cass, Buchanan, or Douglas.

Charleston, S. C, June 7.

Washinton, June . The Democracy here express great satisfaction. Pierce beinj; well known and esteemed The old hunkers are keeping in close quarters. Q7"Wc publish in to-day's paper the speech ol Mr. Behm, one of the Whig candidates for elector in this State, in favor of the publication of the laws in the Getman language. The -pre. n was made in answer to certain attacks from members of ihe Democratic paity upon that measure; and is an ample vindication of its

justice and poliey. Mr. Behm seaks the German InnRailroad Items. guage with facility, being a desi-endeni of German an-

i cestois He knows their wants, and is not afraid to vindicato their rights. We trust the spei-h will awaken attention and reflection in that ipiarter where it is designed to operate, for the advam-emeiit of correet principles Indiana Journal Ihe above extract, il it means anything, means simply this; The Whigs impliedly admit that their candidate for President, whoever he may be, stands no chance of parrying Indiana on his own merits. There, fore, it is neeessai y to play the demagogne iu the vaiti hope of semiring democratic votes for Whig electors. In the House, Mr. Barker of Dubois county, a Democrat, introduced the resolution which first called attention to the sUi,ject ol printing the laws in German. A bill was introduced, and on the motion of a democrat, was refered to a select committee, consisting of Messrs. Torbet and Withers, democrats, and Hav of Clark, whig. The bill was reported back in a more perfect form, passed the democratic House, and will pass the 'democratic Senate. The vote, hoyvever. was not a par- !

The Hon. J. W. Dais. The Baltimore Sun, of the 2d inst., contains the lotlowing notice of the President of tho late Baltimore Convention. "The choice of the Hon. John W. Davis, of Indiana, as President of the Convention, w is received with the heartiest approval, and his bearing in the chair fully sustained the high reputation he has enjoyed as Speaker of the House. He was firm, courteous and efficient. His addre-s brief and appropriate, ami delivered with marked sinceritv of tone; was received wilh a degree of cordiality which marked the perfect confidence of the Convention in the man selected to preside over its delibera tions. Don't Know What to Say. Tbe Indiana Journal is perfectly silent about the nomination of Pierce and King. The truth is the ticket is so unexceptionable that nothing can be said against it, without doing violence to truth. The nomination of n v , . ,ii , , r ., .

B j t h Conventions have been represented here, and have bad a patient and respectful hearing before the committee of the General Conference, consisting ol one delegate from each Annual Conference The committee report that the proposed change is sought by a small minority, while the very great majority of the laymen themselves approve the economy of the church, as it is, and are adverse to innovation.
