old United States Bank to control the po litical action and policy of the United State Government that aroused the patriotic indignation of GcnoralJackson in opposition to that institution. The people, iveie invoked to protect their political privileges from the grasp of a monster money -king, and they with alacrity joined the standard of Jackson, in crushing the enemy of their liberties. It has never been truthfully urged th-xt Gen. Jackson, or even the Democracy of the nation, or hardly of any State, arc totally opposed to all banks under all Urtiniufanrcs. It has been well remarked that even Gen. Jackson gave intimations in his message to Congress, that there could be such a bank organized as he would approve, and fie gave tiie most unequivocal evidence ; that he had great confidence in the State Bank system, by making State Bank 3 the! depositories of the public treasure, after he removed the deposits from the old Hank of jhe United States. Thus it seems that the Democracy, as a rarty, have never been unconditionally op posed to all banks. They always declared thtfir hostility to tho dangerous political i

power of brinks, and have ever striven to place such checks and restraints upon them as would make safe the rights of the people, and as would give tho best security for the safety of their issues and the pre-

vention of frauds upon the public. In j short, the Democracy havo always been more or less divided upon this question, so much so that they were, even among them selves, designated as 'hards' and 'softs.' These facts are the late history of the times, and require only to bo mentioned to be remembered by all candid political men. This is, therefore, in our opinion, the re-1 al position of the Democracy in reference to Bank. The circumstances of the case control their opinions and actions in some ! instances and for some reasons they arc op- ! posed to Banks, and particularly danger- ' ous political form of wrongly constituted ! Banks. In other instances, and for other t,;cy are froqucntly in favor cf - n Banks. The question of 'Lanks, or 'no . 1 " not nor never was settIeJ' cuher p or y the democratic party.

CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. We notice in the La Poite Times of Inst week, an editorial on the subject of calling a Convention at I'Jymouth, the last of May, to nominate a candidate for Congress for this District. Vj think the suirestion a good on?. The last of May would probably be as suitable a time as could be selected. The farmers could attend at that time with less sacrifice than at a later day. We have been casting around the District, to see who would likely be aspirants, and, who in our humble judgment, would be the most suitable man, under all the circumstances, to Ikj put in nomination. We arc nt no loss for good limber. It might bi pioper to run a man at one thne, and notcxpe lient to run the mine individual under other circumstances. Mr. j Colfax will unquestionably be the Know Xothing Candidate. He is sprightly; a Kood editor; an able correspondent; attentive to the interests of his party, and will ree iyo their nire frngth a the poll. J

Should this be the case, (and we think it cannot be doubted) it will be necessary for us to select one of our best men; one who has experience and the entire confidence of the party. We have not seen the

name of anv person suggested, r.or heard ' ofanv asnimnt f r the nnmln.ntU.. I - We prefer letting older papers lead off in such cases, but as we are on the subject, we will in this instance name the man of our choice, (individually) for tho present campaign. We can think of no man, under all the circumstance, who would be more suitable in our opinion, than the Hon. C. W. Catiicart, of La Porte County. lie has served several vears in the Legislature of our Staie, and in Congress, and is one of our old settlers; his character is irreproachable, and his talent unquestionable. We generally prefer "Young Amoric:;," but for the present campai ni we pre-1 fei a veteran in the cause of Democracy. ! ml A - We should be much gratified to see him ,,, , . . , " (like Cincinnatus) taken from the plow to serve hi3 country. jtiTCircuit Court i.i still in eessiou.

... i i -,i . . agreement to meet Latest. London-, Jan '2d. The Daily Xcus learns, on undoubted authority that the preliminaries of the treaty will be signed probably before Tuesday certainly before the meeting of parliament. An armistice will be constituted immediately af.er signing of preliminaries, and negotiations with a view of a final compromise treaty, will bo commenced immediately. It further seems that it is the determination of the alliiid powers to exercise to the full extent the right reserved to them by the iifdi article of the Austrian proposals, to bring forward additional stipulations for the general interest of Europe. Dispatches from Berlin state thai the peace proposals were strongly supported at St. I'etcrsburgh by Holland. The London Times intimates that Lord Clarendon will represent Great Britain at the conference which will probably be held at Frankfort. After preliminaries of peaco arc signed, Baron Brunow and Count 0rJofT will appear on tho part of Russia. The Journal des Debats publi shes a letter from Berlin, dated 21st. inst., which states that in a cab net council, held that day, at which the King presided, it was decided that Prussia Hhould take no inuitiation in reference to the participation of Russia in the peace conferences, and should make tio concessi us susceptible of changing her actual positions. The acceptance of the Austrian proposition has been published officially at St. Petersburg. The announcement states that the chief cendition is the neutralization of tho Black Sea to be secured by a treaty between Russia and Turkey. Russia being to discuss the other points, it is stated in diplomatic circles, that Austria considers the wording of the positions, entitles Russia to maintain all existing fortresses on the Black Sea; further it h iiimored, that the Allies intend to maintain an army of occupation in Turkey until the reforms f.f Christianity are firmly establish?

distasteful both to Turkey and Russia, and Austria proposes to maintain her army in the Danubian Principalities so long as the French and English occupy Turkey. The Times' Viera correspondent states on the 21st, that the most strenuous efforts

are- now being made to induce England not to insist on Jtussia 8 disarming the eastern ! coast of the Black Sea. In diplomatic circles complaints arta being made of the inconceivable obstinacy of Sir Hamilton Seymour in this matter, and it may therefore be concluded that he does not consider it advisable that Great Britain should obey the behests of a power which will greatly partake of tho profits without having shared all the dangers. The Post's Paris correspondent writes j on Thursday evening, that the lenna journals confirm the news from St. Petersburg, that orders had been sent to tue Crimea to suspend hostilities. The I'ost's Pais correspondent says that i m all probability I'aris will be hxed upon fr 1,10 Congress, as the Emperor would ! be e,.

France was never better prepared for i i war, or more determined not to suspend i hostilities until the objects of the struggle are fully insured, whilst the utmost accord continues between the cabir.ets of France and England.

John U. Pettit, of Indiana, was the Chairman. Between 80 and 90 members were present, including Republicans and southern as well as northern members. A large number of office seekers were in (outside) attendance, anxiously inquiring as to tho progress of tho inside proceedings. The following are the nominations made: F. S. Evans, of Washington, for S'rgeant-at-Arms; Capt. M. Darling, of N. Y. for Door Keeper; H. Morris, of Pa. for l M.; O. Follet, editor Ohio State Journal fr Printer. It is understood that Col. Schouler, of the Cincinnati Gazette is associated with this gentleman. J. W. Smith, of Syracuse, and Nathan Sargeant, were his cionpctilors. TProf. Itisley, who is now in Ita.y, says, that recently, when in Venic a i American captain and englishman met at linner. Vou are au American, Mr! said the Englishman. 4R 'ckon so, said thecuptain.

That don't look much like spunk.' 'Hold on, stranger, you are an Englishman, inquired Yankee. Why, yes said Bull. 'Well.' sai l the Yankee, I don't know w hat our folks offered to do with Mexico; but stranger, I'll be darned if we ever offered to make peace with you' That was a clincher Bull vamoosed.

We respectfully request, on behalf of the citizens of Kansas, that, such steps may be taken by the pcopl-j of the States as humanity sugests, to prevent the successful carrying out of so inhumau an outrage.

It we depart from it in the higher and more delicate r 1 r.i n that we sustain to the different members of th onf'deracy, we shall find that in the same proportion, citizens of the counties and tow nships w ill be engaged in pen violation of law trampling upon those in authority, in the smaller communities, and theie will be no safety for property, liberty, or life. The want of confidence, north and south, in the ability f the peoph of Kansas to mold their w n institutions to suit themselves, and the consequent aggressive snirit ot interference for the purpose of influencing their elections, seem t originate in a sort of egotism, both in parties and individual citizens, who. while thev doubt the integrity and capacity of t be people of Kansas, are ready to assert their own honesty and ability to rogula'e their institutions for them. Indiana, as a State, has wisely selected her own dornest io policy. She is willing to give her neighbors the samo right, ami to suppose them capable of choosing and deciding fr themselves. She has never given any cause of complaint to any of her sister States or Terii iuios. Sh exjeets the like exact justice from them. And I do most sincielv hope that none of her ci izens will so f rtret the relation ih - sus ain to their neighbors, and tbe national compact, as to take any part in the strifes and contention of others who are openly viol.i'ing the laws of the land. Notwithstanding it was telegraphed from your Territory to New York, that I was w illing and ready to oiler the assistmce of citizens of this State, in your controversy, ot me assure you that while I have the honor to lie hr Kxecutive Officer, 1 will not, in any manner, attempt to bring her down from lier present high position, and 1 1. .... : , 1 n.iie iier 01 any r;iy niin-'lin;' in the do

mestic strifes of her sister States or Tenitories. The sentinient of our people is to leave the settlement of these questions t the people of Kansas, who are actual citizens of the Territory. If this cannot be brought about, if inlluenees are at work which render this impossible, the remedy is not to be found by others unlawfully iuterfeiing; but by the constitution and laws, is most properly lodged in the hands of those who hat ? the power and ability to restore order and peace. Appeals are frequently made to our sympathies to redress giievanees and outrage whirh occur in many of fhe relations of lift, and in many instances these inllii'-ncfs command our services. But in the higher and more important relations we sustain to each other, as members of our happy form of Government, the Constitution and the laws should alone be the rule of our action. There are those who indulge in the use of hard names an J sectional phrases, such as "subserviency to southern interests," "dough fiet-s," and the like, in order to arouse our people to the violation of law. All this, I ardently hope, will not lal our people away from the great principles tl.a underlies all our institu:ions the obsohrc right of each Stale an 1 Tenitoiy to make its own ins.i:u:io:is without the itiilueuc-; of others.

Upon this principle we can s'and and maintain the peace and harmony of the i Union with safety and h honor. It is the cor ner stone upon which the security and perpetuity of the Union rest.
