PLYMOUTH, . INDIANA, THURSDAY,

Select IpottnK OUR COUNTRY. We see the following beautiful and patriotic poem, by J. E. Cranes, of Missiseippi, in some of the blackest Abolition papers ia thU district. It U a desecration, to say the least of it. No Abolitionist can appreciate such sentiment, and they publish them for nothing only the meanest kind of political purposes. The blood that flowed at Lexington, and crimson ed lake Champlain, Still eti e..m along the Southern Gulf, and by the lakes of Maine; It flows in veins that swell above Pacific's golden sand. And throbs in hearts, that love and grieve, by dark Atlantic's strand. It binds in one Taat brotherhood, the trapper of the West, With men who? cities glass themselves in Erie's classic breast; And those to whom September brings the fireside's social hours. With those who see December's brow enwreathed with gorgeous flowers! From where Columbia laughs to greet the smiling western jfave. To where Potomac sighs beside the patriot hero'a grave; And from the streaming everglades, to Huron's lordly flood, The glory of a nation's past thrills through a kindred blood! V'hencver Arnold's tale is told, it dyes the check with shame, And glows with pride o'er Buuker Hill, or Moultrie's wilaer fame; And wheresoe'r above the fray, the 6tars of empire Icara, Upon the deck, or o'er the dust, it pours a common fctreum! It is a secret legacy, ye cm never can divide, Nor take from vilagc urchin, nor the sun of city pride; Nor the hunter's white-haired children who find a fruiti'ull home. Where nameless 'akes are sparkling, and where knely rivers r jam! t reene die.v his sword Ectaw! and blctdng Southern feet. Trod the march across the Delaw are, amid the snow and flvct ! Anl lo ! upon tke parchment where the natal tecord shines. Thcbjrning pigcof JcTcrson bears Frankliu's calmer tines ! Should yc divide that record bright, and tear the names apart, That eist were written boldly there with plight of hand and heart ? Could ye erase a Hancock's namo, e'en with the sabre's edge ? Or wa.-h out with fraternal blood, a Carroll's double pledge ? Say .' can the South sell out her sh ire in Banker's hoary height ? Or, c m he North give up her boast in Yorktown's c osing light ? Can yc divide nith equal hand a hcritige of graves? Or rend in twain the starry flag that o'er them proudly waves T Can ye cast lots for Verhon's soil ? or chaffer 'mid the gloom That hangs its solemn folds about jour common Father's tomb ? Or, could you meet around his grave as fratricidal foes, And wake your burning curses o'er his pure and calm repose 1 Yc dare not ! is the Alleghania's thunder-toned decree 'Tis echoed where Nevada guards the blue and tranquil sea ; Where tropic aves delighted, clasp our flowery Southern shore, And where thiough frowning mountain gates, Nebraska's waters r.ur. Miscellaneous. From the State Sentinel. What a Republican thinks of the Stale Convention. We gather the following iniere&iiiig items of the doings of the Indiana Itepio lican Stale Convention, and the character of the motives and ao ions of the men who :on trolled it, from the reports of ihr Cincinnati Commercial, a decide I Ojpo idn Cha paper. We gather them at random. Speaki of h personal habi 8 of the delegai-s ho thus refers to their hotel doings: i nie foody ruti a bell every four min uts thioviLjii the night, and iheie whs a dUmal noUe of the cieaking of rusty bell wires ab ut the wall, and a solemn smelt fs:a tobacco smoke, and the expiring odor of i he juice of the weed as expectorated upon hot 8'oves. The Republicans are more quiet than the Democracy. The politicians here today are not in such d?ad earnest as those who met in ihift uuy a few weeks ago. The Democracy were ferocious; ready to tvar and devour aclmlner. They dl 1 not discuss the point whether they coull carry the S ai. They sworo they coul l and would d it. The Kepulicans me confident but not ro loud and tierce. They talk a lit I about principle, and then is a sprinkling f roucieniious men anloii them who think, at intervals of serving G d an well as the State. They hate been deteatfld s often in this State as lobe very considerate. Alluding to Mohton, whom, it appears was wil.ing to accept a suit of old clothes from the Convention, if he could do no beter, the reporter says: Then if Morton wiil accept the- seoon 1 placrt on the ticket Lieutenant Oovotnor he can have it. His b?sl fiienda urge him not to accepet it, but the probab'bi y is he will accept it if it is tendered him When once a man gets in the way of ruiining for office, he does not have much re gard lor the dignity cf precedence when place is in view. We should think that Morton would have mantaiod hU own Mf-respect better if he had gone back to Wayne to anl tun for fence viewer, than permited himself to have been thus choked off by the conven tion. after allowing his fii-nd lo urge his claimes, and present his name for the highest position upon the ticket. But MoRTon h s got in the way of rutting hr office, and if he uan't get a fragrant Havana, he ia willjng O take up w'uhan "old soli-ier." Then, as to the chance , of a Presidental nominee, the following remarks occur.

Mr. Bates' element is strong. Mr. Fay of the Missouii Democrat, is her and has a room where he holds a Bates levee. He has in his pocket a letter writen by Mr, Bates to the Hon Sechuyier Colfax which he assiduously reads to all comers It is in suba tinea a fair cxpojitioa of tin moderate style of Rapublican doctrine. But Mr, Bates rejects the motto,"No more slaves Stales." Ho argues that neither public policy, precedent. or the Constitution authorizes Congrees or the Executive to discriminate between fie and slave States in the application for ad mission into the Union. This is sound doctiine. and all but the ultras are will:ng that it should prevail, Of course if the Republican party at Chicago adopt a platform in which they indorbe the old dogma of no more slave States, as presented and advocated by tl o ancient "Libertv parlv," thev will be beaten out of their boots- At the same lime the eight of Republican opinion here i againet the Bites movement. The Demociat element of the republican party have a horror for anything lesemleling a surrender to eld Whiggery or any other fosailllerous formation. They dislike the idea of digging into the old strata of politics, for the evidences of the condiction of the country in other epochs. Here i.- another picture of "all the decency" party: The noise and confusion was huge. The tables provided for tie press were mounted by twenty or thirty sixfooters, who wished the utmost compicHUy and got it; and these few lines' a.'o writen amid an array of muddy boots awful to behold, and Somewhat hard lo evade as they go thumpirg hb ut on the table. It is hoped the Kepublicans will hereafter have sense enu,h to have delerrato instead of mass convemions. All the Republican politicians have come up here, and the consequence i a mob of considerable dimensions, and no chance for anybody not accomp'ished in the ai t of managing a row. There is an infernal confusion, and everything is iu the hanJg of the leaders, who know how t raise a fuss and put a motion in the nick ot lime. The Commercial agrees with us in the opinion that the sentiment of the Convention was in favor of B ites, and thai there was an abandonment of the rugged issues" maintained iu the Philadelphia platfro m. It says: "I understand that a large number of the District Delegates are Bates men. Th B ites feeling i uns high. The friends 'f Bates proposed to introduce resolutions instructing JState Delegates for him. They abandoned the idea, however, as it would have made a storm. A German, j ist before the platform was read, in order to &ee. as he said, whether1 that was a Rapu'!i'aii Convention or not, intoduced a resolution instructing deleiatet to thy Chicago Convention to vole for no on who was not known as a Republican pievious t 1C6G. This was a direct blow at the Bates interest. It was tabled that the platform might be introduced, and had not turned up at L o'clock last night. Il was never heard of again, and it is fair therefore to infer that the Convention was not Republican in the light that the 'iUgge I issue" men regard Republicanism. If we had photographed the charac ter of the R-publican CHveptioti as has the Commercial, an Opposition print, we should have been charged with rr.i'.rep lesvntatioii, btu the Republicans can not deny the tru hftilness of tue picture as drawn by one of their own organs.

conn UXICATED. For the Democrat. A GLANCE AT Helper's Impending Crisis. BT INVESTIGATOR. A practicable, just and equitable plan for the abolition of Afiican slavery in ihe Uni:ed States, has long been a jUesiion of seiioiis import to ;hose philanthropic individuals who have ever ben clamorous for ihat result. Some of our wisest statesmen have devo'ed to it the most profound attention, at different limes, ever s-ince the formation of the government; and up to the present time, no plan has been proposed which could possibly receive the sanction of a respectable portion of ihoso who were so solicitous to witness its abolUhmeut. But the people cf this enlightened and progressive age ate siir-u-latly favored by having prepared for them a feasible plan for the utter annihilation of the institution; and are thus spared the intense mental labor and atuiety which the formation of such a plan would naturally require. Helper has kindly furnished w hat lie considers to be the "most discreet, fair and feasible plan for the abolition of slavery." That a person competent to perform ouch a labor as our author has accomplished, should arise in these degenerate limes, in ihe person of a youth of twenty-eight summers, is tho cause of much wonderment and congratulation. The question has leng been one of contention, and a fiuiiful source of sectional irritation; and any measures calculated to ensure peace and harm ny lo the country are hailed with joy by every loyal citizen of our republic. But the people of both sections have been so long huriibu""ed in regard lo abolitionism, and evervlhin" relating to it, thac they (excepting the Republicans) will not take any man's say-so in the adoptation of measures intended to s-jttle the question. The Republican plan for abolishing slavery, (as expounded by Helper,) is for the slaveholders to emancipate all their slaves, and give to each the nominal sum ot 6Gj! If any man had made this statement, on his responsibility, and wilhout any endorsement or sanction by men respeciable in intelligence, the first aud natural conclusion would have been that ihe author was crazy or demeuied. The iJea of compelling a man, or the citizens of ot.e-half of the United States, to de prive themselves of a large portion of their property, wLhoui any remuneration lo themselves, advantage to their country, or benefit to the ptopeity thus made valueless is one which never found a lodgemeiit but in lh; heated biaiu of an abolition fanatic. Helper says he is a native and resiJei t ot North Carolina, and his arguments are ihe re to ro con&ideied of mote weight than similar opinions expressed by Northern men. He is not a icsi.leu; oi North Caioliua, and is more likeiv to serve a term iu the Penitentiary than t return to his native State. He is a resident of the Tiibdne office, and his opinions are t"iiiled to no more weight on the plea of nativity or residence than any of .ho othei Republicans with whom is asso ciaied in the publication and disiiibuiion of ihe most detestable and pernicious ab oli.iou documents. Emancipation is 'ho most repugnant lorm of abolitionism yet proposed. It lakes fiom the slaveholder that which hi is enikied to by the Constitution mul laws under which he lives, without furnishing any remuneration. It gives lo an inferior race piivileges which their intelligence never entitled them to; and exalts the lis lo a position which ihey could not but diggrace, and lose at no distant future tiiue. When men fall frni a social position, they almost invariably go beneath that from which they rose. If the negroes are freed and placed on an equality with tho white race a position which they aie naturally unfitted to occupy, they will assutedly fall: for it u one of the irrevocable laws, that eveiy element, or created thing, in the course of events, will find its level or proper status. If they return to slavery, which no earthly power can prevent, they will enter into a system of bondage, which, in all probability, would be far moie abject lhan that which now enslaves them. The idea of giving them SGU is not to be thought of, for there is not a sufficient amount of money in the country. If ihe slaves are freed at all, tin y must be permitted to remain on this continent. The transportation of between five and six millions of slaves to Libeiia or Africa, would be a nautical undertaking which would convert every abolitionist in- ! a marine, and then fail in the accomplishment. If slavery is abolished, there will bo over five millions of beings thrown upon tht Slates, without any knowledge

The com- ' paratively few wh6aie now free, are ex- . eluded, by statutary enactments, from tb enjoyment of any rights or privilege! iu many of the States, and in several States are not allowed even a residence within their limits. A majority of the free negroe3 are guilty of no crime against tbt laws of the States from which ibey arj ;thus excluded; at least, their complicity j with ciinie is confined to individuals; then j why is it that they aro lhu3 without any ! exception in cases of extraordinary intelligence, mora! worth, or the attributes ne cessary to become good and loyal citizens totally prohibited from the enjoyment of jany of the comforts of lifv, or even life it- ! self, within the limits of those States? j The answer can be found in the degrada tion and total unfitness for the enjoyment of such piivileges, of the race to which they belong. Every attempt to elevate I them to an equality with the white race always has and always will result in the degradation of ihe superior race, without secuting to them any of the advantages which have been lost to their superiors. We admit that the evils of slavery are numerous, and, in some instances, grievous; but that abolitionism would diminish thw number, or mitigate the intensity of those now in existence , no one. who has seriously contemplated and carefully and earnestly investigated the sulject, will attempt to demonstrate. Institutions which exist, have all the presumptory evidence in their favor. No conclusion is more certain than that all statutory enactments or recognized rules for the government of society, were deemed necessary for the public good. Their very existence presupposes a necessity for their enacrrnent or adoption. In relation lo slavery, we, of the year 1CG0, find it a prevailing institution in fifteen of the ihirty-threa Stales composing the American government; and by applying the rule above alluded to, the first testimony on the svbject is in its favor. In a portion of those States, and some which are nowfree, slavery has existed about two hundred years; and if it is the hydra-headed monster the abolitionists would have us believe it is, the slaveholders and others who have been eye-witnesses of its operalions during that time, would be clamorous for its abolishment. But instead of those, whose opportunities enable them to judge correctly of the practical working of the sys'em, desiring its speedy and unconditional abolishment, they would suffer a personol indignity rather than be classed with those who are starving to ac complish that result. On the other haad, those who cry so loud and long against ihis system style it the sura of all villanies say, in the language of the Republican party, as recorded by Helper, that lo not be in favor of the abolition of slavery, is to disobey the commands of Ilea?en," are residents of free States, not ona half of whom never saw a slaveholder! When we wish to becom acquainted with ihe manners and customs of any country, is it ro: natural to make inquiiua of thosj who have opportunities to make personal observations; who have spent all their days in the country about which we wish logain information? Instead of pursuing this method, the abolitionists would have us ask them, and take their statements instead of the facts. It occurs to us thai the best plan of action for us to pursue iu relation lo the subject of slavery, is for us, at the North, where it does not now, and probably never will, effect us, to mind our business, and attend to ihe advancement of the agricultural and manufacturing interests of our own section. When our neighbors, at the South, conclude that slavery is an evil, or that its abolishment would better their condition, and find themselves unable to accomplish its overthrow, then, if they should signify to us that our interference in their behalf would b an acceptable service, it woald be time enough to busy ourselves About iheir affairs.
