The entire Democratic ticket was elected on last Monday, in Center township, by majori.ies ranging from forty to eighty! Xotwi:hstandin all the parties and isms ! . - 0 x f this degenerate age opposed us, our victory is complete. The ground was warmlv contested for Justices and Constables, and a larger vote polled, than at any former spring election. Fusionism, in these diggi is, has been "weighed in the balance and fjund wanting." (Register 'leise copr.) 1 j '. Sezd Coarc. We recollect one or two ppring3 af.cr the oxtrome cold winters, that the farmers could scarcely get any corn to j . , , , , ; , , i trrow, it looked sound and clear, arid theyj. " i if l.i j ro mistrust until tne first planting had i ... , , 4, , , j roited m the ground. Tr.ey thought the , n . corn was kil.ed by the cold winters. vc , , , would suggest to our corn r:tisrs, the propriery of testing the matter, befo ing their fields. Corn planting h likelv to be late this year, from present appcarar-ces, n::d it would be a s.il calamity, if corn r ' , . . . ""'- hould not be planted 1:1 time to mature, e lore hard frosts c-: me m the fall. fho b V"e gather from an exci-ango th.at Mr. Parker, Mr. Morton and Mr. Pratt have so! much busing on h md t!;.at neither of ihcm ! m a, . c r I eomd possibly accept?, nominati.. f r Govrnor, were it tendered to them.

The Commercial Convention Comes off j at Indianapolis to-day. We conclude f.orn the meetings which have bx-n hell, and I the interest t'ie Press of the Sta'e has taken on the suhi'o, th.at there will be a large . . J . . . ... gatlienng. 1 hi Ciiicinrati business men, ! argue, and correctly too, that tney are engaged in a lawful busine53 and that the In- j diana Ranks have promised to pnj in coin, and they are merely aiTorcling them an op portunity to do what they have promised, On tho other hand, the Indiana Rankers ! Merchants, Produce deah-rs &c, argue ! that there is no hw to compel them to do . A .- i ? it their trading at Cincinnati, and mey don t I3 J mtend making any more purchases there, ... . until a diuerent state of things exist! There j seems to be but one opinion in reference to the course which Indiana should pursue in the present state of affairs, and but one in ! reference to money matters ia case 6he still continues her trade wkh Cincinnati, Foreign News. The Atlantic bring news that will cheer the heart of every philanthropist. Articdes of peace have been agreed upon by thc Conference at Pa: is; and a general treaty formed, and only awaits r&itication by the proper Courts, when it wfl be published. The general impression seems to b that brcudstiifls and provisions generally, will not maintain their present prices; a material depression in the prices of these articles ia anticipated. Rees. We fchould judge from all we can gather from those we have conversed with on the subject, that four fifths of the bees that were living last fill, are now dead. Last season was f ivorable they provided a sufficient quantity of honey and bread, to live on daring tho winter, but the weather being so excessively cold, the greater part cf them died, and left plenty of hony and bread in their hives. This loss could easily have been avoided, by setting the hives in a dry cellar.

Dr. J. J. Vixall, Homoeopathic Physician, Las located among us. See his card. Homoeopathy has established itself as a very success fulfact, in the cure of "ills that flesh is heir to," and the merits of cold water treatment, admit of no doubt. The t'.vo combined has shaken the faith of gome of the most eminent old school physicians of the present day, and many of them are using the cold water freely in their practice. Dr. Vixall comes to us well recommended, and he looks and talks like a gentleman who makes no false pretentions. We hope will meet with the success that his school of practice and his own merits deserve. hCH See card of Joseph Hume, in to-day's

New States Knocking for Admission. The Legislature of Oregon, which closed its session cn the 30th of January, passed a bill providing for submitting to the people of the Territory, at ' a special election for the purpose next month, the question of asking admission into the Union. The population of the Teriitory, so far as we remember, is now somewhere between sixty and seventy thousand, which by another session of Congress ,vill no doubt be amply sufficient to constitute a State. We can hardly doubt that the decision of the people w ill be in the affirmative. In the present state of the Teriitory with respect to ihe Indians, it w-ould perhaps be wiser for the people to wait two or three years longer, as a State Government at best involves heavy expenses, and if the Indian war should continue, the expense?, would be largely increased. This prospect, however, will not probably prevent the vote for admission into the Union. Ten i?in io. like hovs r

This attack has been long anticipated by the inhabitants of Puget Sound. The Indians are hard, brave and intelligent. They of.en possess thc latest improvemen s in li rearms, and are well supplied widi weapons of all kinds. Of powder and shot they have aa abundance. There aro numerous causes assign -d for this attack, amo:g which is counted the killing uf a celebrated 'tyee' or chief, by some hunters. A chief is reckoned among ihcv.i as equal in value to eight while men. They boast of having already killed five, and the remaining three they are determined to hve. Previous to the present war iho tribe to which these belong was employed on the Sound; but with thc breaking out of hos ili.ies, the Governor ordered the au.hoii.ies to forbid their enteiing the Sound which order being ligidly enforced, has perhaps assisted in producing the present state of affairs. The canoes, propelled by from fif.y to seventy oars each, are of great length and arc very strongly built. They carry regular armchests like naval vessels, and are equipped to a degree of efficiency scarcely to be expected among savages. A very bad feature is, th.at the canoes contained no women, evidently show ing that the visit was intended as an extremely liosiila one It is thought that with the opening of the spi ing months, the Uni.ed Suites vessels noiv employed in our northern waters will have enough to do in subduing the savage tribes of Puget Sound. The friendly Indi an Chief, Pat Cannon, recently had a light with the Clicktats. He lefi'his camp cn Snow gully river, and fdl in with five of the Clicktat Indians, aud th v refused to answer his questions; so he beheaded two of them, and sent their heads into Seattle. The remaining three, to save their lives, agreed to give him all the information they could, so he took them along as guides. He, with one hundred warrior , soon overtook a large body of the enemy, surprised and routed them, killing a great many. He had tour 01 in men killed, and was himself wounded. ' . . if

The Contest of 1356 a Contest for Princiüle. Since the days of John Adams, when the opponents of the Democratic party boldly avowed their principles, and boldly cet forth their aristocratic doctrines in favor of clothing the Senate and the President with a'most unlimited power, and of declaring the alien and sedition laws necessary to maintain that power unimpaired in the hands of those w ho should be the servants of the people, there has not been one instance in w hich the adversaries of the democratic party have beeu as frank and as courageous in setting forth their principles as during the memorable era to which we have referred. At last, however, we are promised an exception to the general rule. The sectional party, the representatives an 1 successors of those who inauguratcd their policy in the midst of the earli

est days of the Republic, have, through their immediate organs, Messrs. Seward and others, formally proclaimed their pi in-j cinles fjr the public eve. and this fact will add unusual interest to the contest to be decided in November next. The doctrine prominently brought forward by Mr. Seward, a ?d by Iiis adherents is this: that the people of the Terri oiics of the United States shall not be permitted to manage theiKown a Hairs in their own way, and that this power belongs to, and shall be exercised by, the members of Congress representing other communi:ies, and hav ing no direct interest whatever in the concerns of the Territories. Proceeding from this theory, in natural order, is the assumption, that the people of the Terri to. ies shall not control their own affairs in their own j way, so when they demand admission into j the Union as States the Congress of the United States may and must refute to ad mit l hem unless their State constitution conforms to the abolition ideas of Mr. Seward and his coadjutors. We thank our opponents for the boldness with which they set forward these doctrines, and we are glad to know that the democratic party!

General Methodist Conference. We have taken some trouble to be informed as to the character of the great Conference which will assemble at Indianapolis, on the first of May next, and have gathered the following statement of facts. The Conference will be composed of delegates from all the Annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The whole Church North, which in eludes the Baltimore Conference, the Conference of Delaware, and a part of Virginia, and all the Northern, Eastern and North Eastern Slates are within its jurisdiction. It convenes only every fourth year. The number of regular delegates will be about 23J, beside . irregular, or visiting delegates from England, Canada, S:c., which will probably swell it to about 25).

Seven Bishops are expected to be in a: j terdanee, and probably a large number of lay visitor?. "The Conference is expected to conti-iuo j m session about four weeks.

Indianapolis is the most western point at which this General Conference has ever held in its session, and the present Conference was invited here bv the delegates from our State, at the last meeting of tho General Conference. Its members will comprise a vast amount of intelligence and ability, and its session will be highly instructive and interesting.
