the track, but the vrork on the eastern part of tho iiue will b« delayed a little on account of the detention of a portion of the iron by low water in the Ohio river. It is also apprehended that some part of the sub-structure may not be finished in time for the rails. These causes cannot long hinder the completion of the line. It is time to begin to think about arrangements for the grand jubilee, which the people seem determined to hsve, whenever the cars commence running. Terre-IIaute must not forfeit her character for hospitality. Crowds from Maditon end Indianapolis, with many others, are waiting impatiently for this opportunity to pay a visit to the I'ratrio City.

What is the meaning of die outoty of which the two lentenoe# quoted above form the pith and marrow We* oertaialy are opposed to any inter1 polations upon the democratic creed bat as to new issues, the cate is different. The political history of our country is a history of new issues.

With every fresh step ia advanca, which has distinguished our progress as & people, new questions have sprang up or old controversies have assumed *. new aspect. While principles have reradioed stationary, the practical application.of those principles to the varying circumstances of the country has required the adoption or rejection of new meat res. Upon these measures issues have been made, which the people have from time to

opponents of new issues desire that the democratic party shall remain stationary—that it shall cease to keep pace with the progress of our civilization If we adopt this negative policy the democratic party will cease to be such except in name. We must progress, or fall by the way. Whenever a new question arises, let it be discussed and its merits be tried by the standard of our time-honor-ed principles, end let our decision upon it depend upon its conformity or non-conformity to those principles. Union is a primary condition of our greatness as a people, of our strength as a republic.— Upon the top-stone of this Union the democratic party has planted its standard. But it is an essential condition of the Union that the constitutional hts ot all its members should be protected. The late compromise measures were regarded as essential to the protection of those rights, and the democratic party would have proved false to its most fundamental principles had it failed to sanction that protection. What wc desire is, that our partv should ueither be driven nor cadjoled into a departure from its platform. And, especially, do we deprecate the idea of being drawn into the embraces of abolitionism. Who can touch pitch without being defiled The democracy have thus far, as a party, avoided tho contact of abolitionism and shall we, now that the free-soil faction is disbanded and its scattered forces are quailing before the voice of public indignation, now that all that remains of the Buffalo platform is its old and rotten abolition timbers, shall we bow to the shadow of a power which has been vanquished while in its plenitude The new issue" has been met and decided by the people. From the Pacific to the Atlantic shores, from the Lakes to the Rio Grande, their voice has bpen heard approving of the compromise and jjfvhig their verdict of condemnation against Northern and Southern fanaticism and disunionism. It only remains for the democratic party, as such, to concur in that verdict and, persisting in the maintenance of its former principles, go forth to the achievement of new triumphs.

A Notable Discovery

Has been made by tho editor of the Express. He would have his readers believe that he has just found out who it is that occupies the editorial chair of the Journal during the temporary absence'of its regular editor. Wonder if tho Express could not find out, if he tried very hard, who has penned the leading editorial articles for this paper during the last thirteen months Every body else in town knows it. Noighbor, you are as "deep" and "sly" as Joey I).

The Express pretends to think tho Journal is only half-way democratic, because he thinks one of tho proprietors once voted for a whig. Just read the paper, Mr. D., and, if you can comprehend what democracy is, you'll find out whether it is democratic.

RUNAWAYS are quite too frequent in our streets. We have a stringent ordinance against leaving horses unhitohed in the street but the Marshal cannot be everywhere at once, and the ordinance is constantly disobeyed. One would think that self-interest would lead persons to secure their horses on leaving them but such seems not to be the case. The practice of tying horses to the wagon by the ends of tho lines is extremely insecure and is not a compliance with the ordinance. Faston your horses by the head gentlemen, if you want to find them where you have left them. Several serious accidents have happened in our town from leaving teams not securely hitched. We make these remarks by way of caution for we feel sure that these accidents result from carelessness, rather than a wanton disregard for the lives limbs of other people. V-'ti'x

The family of Mr. Fearn had gone to join him but whether they arrived before his death we are not informed. 05r Samuel E. Welch, son of Mr. Guy C.

Jo Lane Demonstra-

tion in Indianapolis Yesterday.

Reported by Wade's American Telegraph.

TKuaaDAr, Nov. lira, 1851—9r. x.

There were not so many here as were expected caused by the bad weather. There was a ball given last night, at Masonic Hall, which was numerously attended. The Statesman, which is published weekly, on Wednesday, was not issued until this morning. It contains account of proceedings yesterday.

Speeches were made by Governor WEIGHT and Gen. LAKE also, letters received from distinguished invited guests. I

Gen. LAKE replied to Gov. W

SIGHT'S

introducing him, and alluding to bis military career. He said WEIGHT'S speech appeared to be spoken in favor of his (LAXE) becoming a candidate for the Presidency. lie said he would vote for all the Comprises, including the Fugitive Slave bill, which, he said, was necessary in order to carry out the provisions of the constitution he said, they were are all right, but that this was the best measure of all. lie said, he had been named in connection with an office, the highest known to the ambition of man but, if he knew the seniiments of his own heart, he did not want it. He would rather see Cass, or Butler, or Houston, or Delias*, or any other good person named for nomination and he would support th£ nominee, as he believed every Democrat in Indiana would. Whoever is nominated will be elected and, if 1 am nominated, I will endeavor to discharge the duties of the Presidency with fidelity. 1 believe, if nominated, 1 will be electcd for there is always luck where Jo Lane is. If, in any contingency, it should so happen, he would endeavor to act worthy of the position and the trust reposed in hiin by his fellow-countrymen.

Letters were read from Hon. C. Sweetzer, of Ohio Hon. C. Stewart, of Michigan Hon. A. J. Harlan— E. A. Mahan, Esq., Fort Wayne Hon. Joseph Coble, ofCarrolton, Ohio W. N. Frauklin, Esq., of Spencer Hon. D. T. Disney, of Ohio—and others.

Mayor Kingsland has a letter from Kossuth stating his determination to leave England on Saturday last for America.

NEW YORK, NOV. 10—8 P. M-

lt is understood that Kossuth sailed from England for America iu the steamer of Saturday last. The United States steam frigate Mississippi arrived from Gibraltar this tnortiins, bringing the Hungarian refugt JS lately released with Kossuth, and Mrs. Capt. Balingame, whose husband was lost overboard from the barque EHxinia, from New York on the 13th of October, near Gibraltar.

ARRIVAL OP THE CANADA. ^'. N*w YORE, NOV. ITT. The steamship Canada with dates to the 26th and the steamship Baltic with dates of the 29th have arrived from Liverpool.

The Africa sailed from Liverpool for New York on the Sfith, but got ashore off Belfast and returned. She was not seriously injured.

The Canada brings 155 passengers jnd tlm Baltic 94. Hie Washington had not arrived at Southampton on the SStii. was reported that further search for Sir John Franklin had been given up for the present.

Parliament is to be prorogued on the 25th of January. The accident occurred to the Africa on the nijght of the 25th in coctseqnence of a dense fog. wfeere *be remained until late the next day, wben she returned to Li verpool, where she arrived on the 27 th. The Canada was despatched in ballast with her passengers and mail*.

Kossuth arrived at Southampton on the 23d, wttM te was reeei*?d by the mayor of fee city and «n taoweaia* assemblage of cites amid great enthusiasm. Kossuth, who wa* addreswftd by the jnsjror, responded briefly but approjpriate'y.

He was waited upon on Friday by many distinguished gentlemen.

Kossuth arrived at London on Monday, where the event was marked by no great enthusiam.— Lord Palmerson had made known hi* desire to receive Kossuth unofficially. SP

The frigate Mississippi with most of the Hungarian*, sailed from Gilbraiter for New York on the 15th ult.

On our firet page will be found some account of the tour of the American Minister, Abbot Lawrence, in Ireland. This trip derives some public importance from the fact that it has been evidently undertaken, in part, for the purpose of examining some of the Irish harbors, with reference to their adaption to accommodate A dan tic steam navigation. A direct railroad communication has been established between Galway, on the western coast of Ireland and London, interrupted only by a narrow part of the Irish sea, which is crossed by steamers. It is claimed that by the Galway route the transit from New York to London can be performed quicker, by twenty hours, than by the Liverpool route. Measures have also been taken for the continuation of a line of railroad from New York, by way of Boston and Portland to Cape Canso, the most easterly point of Nova ijcotia. From Cape Canso to Galway the distance to be traversed by ocean steamers is only two thousand one hundred miles, while from New York to Liv erpooi the distance is three thousand miles, greater speed which can be obtained on railroads than by steamships would give the eoute by Cape Canso and Galway an advantage, in time, over the present route, of about three days so that the passage from New York to London, it is estimated could be accomplished, by the proposed route, in seven days. It will be seen that Mr. Lawrence regards the Irish harbors he has visited as omong the best in Great Britain and the committee have decided in favor of Galway as the harbor

posed new line of steam packet navigation.

The muses havo followed the gold hunters, and have taken up their seat in California. On the first page are two poetical effusions from the golden land, which appear to lis to be quite respectable We, however, submit them to tho critical judgment of the editor of the Express, whose poetical taste is notorious. i-mtm.'-'..

We have read much about humor, and have witnessed many attempts to define it, and have even attempted to define it ourself, but have never seen any definition that so truthfully represented to the mind the reality of this subtle quality, (always excepting the writings of Charles Lamb) as does the editor's gossip" of the Knickerbocker Mogazine. It has often been our design to enrioh the columns of the Journal with some of these sprightly lucubrations but we always found so many good things to copy that we could never consent to exclude so much as our space required.

CALIFORNIA ITEMS.

GESAT DISCOVKRY OF ACKIFSROCS QCAHTZ. Another striking confirmation of the fact that California is just beginning to deenvelop the vast richness arid extent of her golden treasures, is the discovery of an immense vein of quartz in Yuba county, about twenty five miles east of Downieville. Mr. McNulty, one of our most prominent and respectable merchants, has just returned from the mountains, and to his politeness aro we indebted for the information which we Uy before our readers.

Some three weeks since, a party ot five from Nevada, while prospecting upon the South Fork of the North Fork of the Yuba river, struck upon, a quartz lead running in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction, and passing almost directly under the South Yuba Buttes. The vein ranges from twenty to three hnndred feet in width, and has been traced for five miles. A deep canon shoots from the main range of the Buttes near the point where the vein was discovered. There is a wa-ter-fall here ofjfitcn hundred feetand two companies stake out their claims on the side of the^mountain. One called the £rial Company, consists of Messrs' Rowe, Price and eleven others, and the Cliff Company, consistinng of Mr. MoNulty, Dr. Miller ana eight others. The former gentlemen has exhibited to us two immense lumps which he knocked off from the rock twenty feet above the surface of the ground, The specimens are exceedingly rich and th^i quartz isof that description, known as the '•honeyconib-tose quartz." It is greatly decomposed and crumbles easily.

Mr. McNulty inform* us that he climbed over the mountains and traced the vein for a distance of five miles, and that he did not examine a single piec "bi^he rock in which gold was not visible. On [a"s retuhfciie met hundreds of miners on' their wa^ the golden mountain, having heard of this most wonderful discovery. Our informant also states that he traced this vein twenty miles to the northward, and he has not the slighest doubt that the aureferous vein is sufficiently extensive and rich to afford ample remuneration for all companies who have the necessary capital to invest in the enterprise.

Chrwti,

From the letter of a Sacramento correspondent we copy the following graphio sketch of the old Fort: "Sutter's Fort is fast going to decay. Tho sound of revelry was heard here once, and woman's smile made glad the heart pilgrims to and from the golden hills and valleys havo here rested from their toil and here too have babes seen the light, and through the crumbling rooms has walked the spectre Death! There is suspended the old bell, that has tolled the hour of prayer and the hour of feasting and there at tho gateway lies a dilapidated old rusty canon, with the mouth wide open, but no teeth, which seemed to say to me as I approched, "You can go and take the last fond look, for 1 have done all I can do. My old c&ptain is not here to attend to me, and 1 go to decay even like these old walls the scene of his chivalry and my. former glo-

Tns NORTHERN MINES.—Wo are constantly hearing the most sucoessful accounts of the miners through our up country. At Barton's Long's, Onsley'fl Sicard's Parke's and Rose's Bars, great success has attendod their efforts thU season, $12 and $16 being their average per man. At Union, Indian and Negro Bar, no claim can be had at price. At Missouri Bar they ar« making fair wages at Bullard'**^i£«»ter*a, Slate Range, and Goodver's, new disooveries are being made constantly, aud the prospect a brilliant onn ahead.

GOLD NEWS.—A miner from Condemned Bar, on the Yuba river, thirty-five mile* from this place, informs us that the "Big Eddy company" are dividing, and have been for some weeks past, $75 per day to the man. There arc twenty-seven men employed.

Mr. Battey from Rich Bar, at the Forks of Feather river, says, "the miners are doing exceedingly well." One company the name of which wo do not remember, is making "large strikes" The cry everywhere wo hoar from is, Oro buslanto.

WYANDOTT DIGCINS.—At these diggings men average $12 a day, and new leads are being daily discovered.

OPHIR DtGGtNS.—A miner just from the above region, tells us that within the last two weeks some new discoveries havo been made, and that should the rain "hold off' for a month longer, «everal will have made their piles, 912 §1G and $20 per day are being mado hero*

CALIFORNIA AABICCLTURB-EXTRAOTTDIKARY YIELD OF BARLEY.—A crop of Barley has recently been thrashed which was raised on the raneho of Senor Monagas, on the Contra Cosla. during the past season. From two hundred and forty-four pounds of seed sown, tho yield was twenty-two thousand and five hundred pounds. This is, probably, one of the most astonishing returns for the labor of the husbandman which the agricultural annals of any country can show: when it is recollected that this great product was taken from ground which has never been manured or improved, the renult is still more wonderful. When the wiseacres who have described California's agricultural resources shall take the pains to look into this matter, ond find that for each pound of Barley sown the yield has been 62-1-5 pounds, they may possibly begin to think that there is more virtue in the soil of our State than has been heretofore "dreamed of in their p^iosophy." Afta.

N N S N O W A S S .—Few are aware of the im* mense quantities of snow imported daily into this market from the Sierra Nevada. This article of commerce is brought from the peaks above Iid6«rvilln, the nearest puint to us where ice can be obtained. There is guod-wagon r"ad t»» this region of perpetual snow, and ii collected and transported lo this city with so litile incovenience that it will not command o*'er ten cents per pound. A very large amount was shipped on the Senator, Saturday and to judge from its appearnee we should think it as well adapted for coblers and the coding of butter, as the purest Weuhain or Rockland Lake.
