Those of our subscribers who intend paying their subscription i:i wood, will confer a f ivor by bringing it immediately. United States Senator. Sjvend Fusion editors have written articles, urging the Senate (which is fusion) to refuse to go into an election for Senator, this winter, in cous-quence of the failure oftho Democrats to elect, a lime or two when thej- were in the minority in one or the other houses of the Legislature. We are, individually, opposed to staving off eloctions of that kind, under any circumstances; yet, at the same lime circumstances might occur, as in 131, that it would not be so heinous a crime, after all, as mii'ht be committed. It was well known by all parties, in 1814. that Indiana was democratic; that if they elected a whig Sen ator, that Indiana would be misrepresented j in part, for the next six years. Such be ing the case, the democrat thought the better way would bo to postpone th clot-j .." , t L . , j tion until the next winter. Their conduct, in this particular, was submitted to the people in the next canvass, and resulted in a verdict of approval; consequently, a demo cratic United States Senator was elected at ! or was elected at I L'is ature ' i,.0ib.aiu.c. I ard on that subthe ensuing session of the L But little more was heard on that subiect until 1851. when Know Xothinrrlsm"; swept over the country like a storm. After the election was over it was ascertained that the Know Nothing's had a majority iu the legislature on joint ballot, they were extremely anxious to go into an election for U. S. Senator, but the Democrats knew that Indiana, (if she had stepped aside) was ! thoroughly democratic, and they conclud ed that, as we hnl one Senator, thev would refer the matter to the peopb again. It is j now ascertained ic a certainty, mat Indi-; ana is thoroughly domocn.'.i?, ny.with-jag lauumg u:e r usions nave an accidental majority of three or four in the Senate. There fore there would be no inducement for the! 13 violating the Constitution, as perjurin themselves, and, in short, it corned like they were ni a has for adjectives to express tLdi hatred and contempt of the course v.hiji thev had r.ursued. But now tb tar.e s-ems to lo turned, the boot is on the j iher foot. It was an awful crimj for the De.no? rats to stave off an election, but it is all right for republicans to do so.

line 01 itepublicans, is certain to our mind. tn the Kansas and rrebraska act, so fir as slavery is concerned, will bo the settled : J ' 1 seinen policy of the government before another Presidential election, and like the subtreaaury no party will be disposed to repeal it. The greater portion of those who have opposed the idea that the people in the Territories were capable of inakiog their own Liws and that they should have that privilege, will be perfectly astonished at them-w-lrea, f )T opposing a measure that all are forced to acknowledge, is correct in principle. The American people at the late election have said in language not to be misunderstood, that the residents in the Terlitories aro capablo of making their own liws, und that they shall have that privi-i lege. This being .the case, the slavery question so far as Congress is concerned, is virtually settled; seeing that the questions at issue between tho parties were settled at tho lato election by the sovereigns, in favor r.f the D emocracy. It is right that we fchoull bo on the look out to see what name the opposition to the principal of self government will assume in tho next great struggle for the preservation oftho "Constitution acd the Union."

LAFATi-TTE, IvY., OCT. 33, 'oG. Fcr lhc Dt raocrdt-) Mr. Editor: I promised to give you a short account of my peregrinations. 1 left P. Monday, September lolh; was hurried on to Laporte by Walker's rail road, r J Tu0fcday, took the New Albany train, and fr SOm0 d,St:lTl0e Pa5äeJ lhr0llSh a P0r and thinly settled country. As 1 looked iu . ... vain for flourishing farms, and could be s hold only here and there a 'hardy yeoman among the shrub- and marshes, I thought it was not strange that Marshall should be the center of attraction. The country from Lafiyette to Indianapolis, is rich, level, and j for tUi ,.,ost X)..vt wtdl cultivated Ten ' 0 country is'rich, but rocky and uneven. Thursdav morninc. T walked fo ho. . 11 " 1 -n 1 1 r jc.j jlK,r i hvansville. and before me was the beautiful Ohio, bearing upon its low waters a beautiful steamer, over which waved a banner of the stars and stripes, with the names of Fillmore & Donelson, enscribed upon it. I was soon informed that the Fillmore party was to have a great barbecue at Henderson that day, and that the steamer would soon start over. At nine we left F. amid the roar of cannon and the huzzas of many people. And as I was borne along down the Ohio, listening to the sweetest strains of music, I thought of the wonders that day would re veal; for I had often beared it said by nortbem fanatics, that, cross the Ohio where you will, you will see a great change that the dark tracks of slavery aro plain to view all along the southern shore of the Ohiothat dilapidation, decay, and human misery. i stare you in the face, as soon as you tread the soil of a slave state, or in short, in crossing the Ohio, you pa33 from christian intelligence, and refinement, into moral darkness. As wo ncarcd the town v.o beheld a great crowd upon the bank; and 6uro enough thero were a few negroes around its bordeia.

As I walked tip through the town, I looked in vain for poor and dilapidated houses, and that Avant of taste and beauty,

j good a dinner as I ever had; and after five thousand people had eaten, there were not twelve baskets left, save the bones. j The roads of Kentucky and Tennessee j lie thiough the woods are well shaded, j and very pleasant to travel. The large plantations are situated a distance from the j roads. Occasionally we would come to! j large fields of tobacco, which is the chief product. I remained nearly a week in Clarksville; took a trip up toward Nashville, and finally came to this place.' I have studied the customs, and endeavored to inform myself, as much as possible, with regard to slavery. The people are very r - - I--' hospitable, and kind. Every person man . 7"ai 1 wuv,t" "11 Jvv-,,,u"- .i5 u-iimsiuu io ien you an J about slavery.

They have meeting her. rv . f ' . in pvprv .f f ' . . . . l.Ara " preach to them, but they generally prefer . . ; T . their own eloquent speakers. From all appearances they are the happiest people I evi- , t r er saw. Even while I write, I hear their . , . . . uieuwiieiui ineir ciarion voices rin out upon the air; and the melodious violin, and their sweet songs, tell me that their spirits are light and free. Sundering the marriage tie, is not so in human a thing, a3 supposed by many. Thev weeks had elapsed she had another hushand. This." continued he. "is but a fair specimen of their regard for marriage obligations." I have been told of several negroes who have run away, staid a few years in the North, and returned. There are fiee negroes in this place, who have the means to go North, but prefer to stay here. There is occasionally a cruel, heartless man, to be found, who abuses his slaves; but he is I despised, and condemned by all around him. Asa general thing, you will find W G? I mo.n who own slaves, kind, and ready to protect them from any insults, and undue severities. I do not mean to say, that there are no "es connected with slavery. Some of lhc savea f'iro badly, no doubt. You find misery, and unkindness, iu every grade of society in every phase of human existence from the king down to the serf. The free and intelligent, have the "bitter with the sweet." Tho breeze which wafts perfume and pleasure to one, bears misery to his neighbor. Says the immortal bard: It was, we own, sul.ject of much di-bate, Ami worthy mcu stood up, onopjjosing sided, Whether the cup of mortal life had more Of t. our or Sweet." Since this is the case, how easy it is to exhibit the woes and ills of life! Who does not know, that had Harriet Beecher Stowe written the life of some unfortunate son of Erin who had been landed in one of our largo cities; beaten and kicked about in grog-shops; worked and whipped to death on rail roads she could have told as sorrowful a tale, as she did about Uncle Tom. The millions of earth cannot all bo enlightened and happy. The nations can never be upon the same plane of intellectual equality. The arts and sciences have b'-cn cultivated, ever since from hoary Fgypt, in the depths of antiquity Archimedes began to investigate the power of the lever; since Galileo began to search tho heavens; Christianity has forages been exerting its refining inllucnces; yet, darkness covers many portions of tho earth, and gross darkness a majority of its people. Tho negroes have for ages inhabited Africa, and every century has only brought anoth er century of darkness and degradation upon them. The negroes of America are in tho happiest condition of any of their i race. What would abolitionists do with j these slaves? Would they liberate them, give them a portion of our territory, and sec them sink back to the lowest depths of depravity? To prove that they would do this, I need only refer to Hayli, where they have been degenerating, ever tinco they took the government into their own hands. T,t b"hT"mi ts, who h-livo thv cn re-

The First Locomotive. In 1781, i:i Redruth, in England, as a worthy pastor, late in the twilight, was returning from a visit to his flock, he saw before him a strange kind of nondescript, as large as a

I've feen the evil spirit himself; run! run By Jove," said the stranger, 'how far ahead is he? The tone of the question, and the company in some measure dispelled the fright of the faithful man, and admonished him that he, if any one, should have the courage to face the powers of darkness, so he , . ... . a thought had taken the wrong direction. They soon came up to the object of their pursuit, which had got into a ditch and i was roaring terriffically. The strancrer. to the astonishment of the parson, seized ' and dragged the fiery monster out to the road. "She got away from me, sir, I was giving her a try, the bit of a road being good for a run." "Oh!, goodness! well, she is yours then. Pray, what is she?" "A steamer, sir, I call her. She is a little experiment of mine, got up to try whether Mr. Watts idea of running coaches by stCc'.m can be carried out. I think it can, sir, if capital can be got for it." "Indeed! indeed! Pray, dear sir, who may you be?" "I am William Murdock, at your service; a mechanical engineer, superintending the erection of pumping engines for Boulton and Watts, in the mines hereabouts. Great was the relief and satisfaction of the worthy pastor on discovering that what ; he had imagined to be something broke i loose from an unknown place, was bnt a ! bit of honest man-cratt; a lunatic conceit, a : conceit it mi rht be but harmless, exce'pt j when it ran awav; and might frighten chilren and perhaps hurt them, This miniature engine was tl ia Trf rm j bodyment of ti e iJeaof the locomotive by Another Piece of Border Ruffianism.

All things considered, we tMnk it will prove to be tho Banner Democratic Suto oftho Union, giving James Buchanan a much larger majority, in prortion to her population. October, or had the result of that election jbeen less decisive, it is altogether probablo that Mr. Fillmore might have carried enough Southern States to have de feat od an election by the people; and without the vote of Indiana now, Mr. Uuchanan would fail of an election, if Illinois is for Fremont. We repeat, we are proud of Indiana and of her proud position with the Democracy of the Union. The nation will look to her as tho marinerlooks to tho light-house when the tempest howls about his vessel.
