Tbe Presidency.

No matter *hnt will be the organization of the deniocratio party in Indiana, the ensuing campaign will be an exciting one. Let CASE, Dotro« LAS,

Ht'ciuKA^, or my other democrat be the Presidential nominee, the same spirit of enthsiasm will be tiukindled. Tbe movement* of our oppouer.ts are taking a form so definite, mat the conclusion of the story oan be readily gueased at. We will Itftve Chfrubusco and Chepuhepeo revived in t-vcry form of ballsrd and inscription, and the play *i'»! proceed to us finale, with every varitey of gun *and trtirnpet, that military ardor con bring rrtjnbition. "!i •Jo a man ul initHSgence and candot, the suec^$$ of Gi»w. SfoTT, in procuring the Presidential itommattoB, would lessen his good opinion of the "whig party. What is the nature of the support rcftdfred hlrul It i* a suppoit based upon the doctrine of expeditney. What has he to com* mptid him the popular choice? His military ileitis arli undeuisUo, but it is AS much an ovi-

of diacrction, to make a oaptain.of Infantry financial agent, because he maneuvered a squad«ro» well in the open field, as to place Gen. Scott in 'the Prtiidentlal Chair, for his services in Mexico,

Por to Vpeak of high Statesmanship, in connectiOT with hit name, is simply to give him credit for wh ho never claimed, end for what the experience of I.it military life kas necessarily removed from him. What knowledge is he presumed to possess of the great principles uf constitutional law, and matters reisung to diplomacy! His only specimen of diplomatic intercourse, was with Gov. MASCT, and if

experience wis not lost upon him, Its record mu»t be a terror to bin). For the credit of our oppontrtis, we would wish that they select some other standard bearer. Wi ^lf*fSI%se**t ftfTsetfttion for military ardor, they fo •cHly remiml us ol our Hoosier Militia, on a mus tetdsy. There is an awkwardness in their assumption of tbe 'aiilitary,' whioh renders them ridiculous, especially as they have been, since 1812, 1h# *peste party' of the country. Perhaps, however, this projected elevation of tbe General ia a tribute to their practice, aud they seek to set him up, as men hang up 'their bruised arms' for monutt*nta,and they dk, he will prove to be a monument, tiot of their greatness, but of their defeat «nd fui%#s *party« While they adfocate a theory, or prt^MW a policy, they are worthy of some vtqiWfftt an opinion, but when they resort to the shirts and uicki of political expediency, they fall front ihuir b^b estate, and lose that sense ol tbeir msgtMlnttnity, necestary to political success.

\Vhr*k po Tttrr con* r*out and where are tbey goifcgt is the question which has often greeted our ears, it* regard to the unusual number of travellers, which, day after day, pass through our city.

Some debate arose about the propriety of allow ing the committee to ser.d for persons or papers. Mr. King moved to lay the motion on the table lost.

Mr. King moved to Indefinitely postpone tbe whole subject lost. Mr. Bradey moved to amend the mc Mudgel, so aa to confine the committee in sending for persons and papers to Marion county carried

Mr. Smith, of S.t moved to amend by referring tbe subject to tbe committee on elections. The motion as amended was then agreed to

Mr. Donaldson, from the committee on elections Jo whom was referred tbe matter of alleged frauds snd forgeries in relation to the relocation of tbe county seat of Clay county, reported that ibe whole matter was satisfactorily explained, and tbe com mitte wes discharged from the further considers tion thereof.

Retarned Catiforalaa.

Dr. THOMAS PAESOKS, of our city, who been sojourning in tbe "land of Ophir," for some iwo years paat, returned home last Friday, in the enjoyment of fine heslth and spirits. It appears jthst he hss experienced some **hair-breadth 'scapes" since his departure. ,.•*

Mr. L. RVCE, of the Buckeye Store, i* sgain in market with his usual variety of rich and elegant goods, purchssed in the eastern cities, with that taste and care for which he is distin gnished. Mr. R. hss an assortment of superb csrpeting, Brussels, Turkey, and all other varieties, to be found no where else in our city, and to which he invites special attention. See his ad vertisement, and then give him a call

Prairie City Prdf Store.

Messrs. BKOWKIXU ic WALL have purchased this new and popular establishment from its former proprietor Dr. SWAIN, and have just received one of the largest and most complete assortment of Drugs, Medicines, Points, Oils, Liquors, Glassware, for medicinal purposes, and all other articles in their line. Their establishment is on National Road Street corner of Union Row'and forsize and adaption to business is one of the most eligible in the city. Among the candidates for public favor we hare no .hesitation in recommending Messrs. B. Se W. as well worthy of the patronage of the community.

Graham's Magazine

For Msy hss arrived. It possesses even more than its usual attraction. Each number for 1852, of this beautiful and widely celebrated periodical, couiains 112 pages of reading matter, which in from the pens of the most gifted authors of America. The engravings for this number are executed in the most beautiful and artistic stylo. The 'Baravian May Queen,' is one of the most handsome and expressive engravings that we have ever seen.

Melancholy Casualty.

Friday last, sometime after we had gone to* press, we were startled by the announcement that Mrs. CLAYTON, wife of THOE. C. CLAYTON, of our city, had committed suicide by drowning herself in the canal. When, first discovered, she was floating on the canal, near the bridge, north of the Prairie House. Every possible exertion was made, but In vain, to revive her by those by whom she was first discovered. She had been laboring for some years paat, under a partial mental aberation and such an untimely result hfrd befiR. f^r a Ion time feared by her friends.

The weather, for the few days, has been rather more spring-like and agreeable than that wiih which we have been favortd for some weeks past, although still much unsetded. The prospeot for rain, at present, is rather more faltering than we should desire. Old Winter, whioh has so 'long lingered in the lap of 3pring,' bas not yet, we fear, finally removed his quarters. ¥. c-

We were highly pleased with tbe remarks of Mr. MeCarty, at the whig Sate Convention—with bis just award of commendation to that 'excellent man,' our Governor, Joseph A. Wright but are are astonished that the whig orators and press en tertaiaed, for a single momeat, tbe belief that they would obtain the votes of tbe intelligent and noblehearted citizens of Indiana by proclaiming bim farmer. They vainly indulge the hope that tbe farmers of Indiana will vote for Nicholas McCarty because he once handled tbe plough. So was Gov. Wright a farmer. What difference does that make? Mr. McCarty was a merchant in [ndi anapolis for along time. Gov. Wright commenced life in a brick-yard, so said. Does that fact injure either ot tbem in the estimation of their fellow-cit-izens I Humbug! stuff! We have known mean men, and good men, of all occupations. Tbe idea that the people can be gulled in such a manner is too ridiculous. T", J*"*

Read this. Tt from the Afadison Banner: •Whigs! Democrats! Freemen! arise, in the majesty of your might, and push on the wave that is bearing upon its bosom the farmer candidate to tbe Gubernatorisl chair of Indiana.'*3^^/®

Tbe word farmer is in Italic—as if there was a msgie in the word. Were it not for the name— McCarty'—at the head of the article, we could not tell which he means—Wright or McCarty Gov. Wright is as good a farmer as the other. But shall not discuss the question—'which is the farmer.' It is irrelevant, unimportant, foolish. We take it for granted that Mr. McCarty is a good man —no better and no worse than his fellow citizens generally—but know that he cannot be elected.— The people of Indiana, long since tired with whig policy and whig administrations, cannot be driven or persuaded to elect McCarty, or any portion of the whig ticket. If they could show superior qualification—more honesty and integrity of purpose, in their candidate, than Joseph A. Wright, the people might be induced to abandon the man upon whom they have bestowed their confidence but they cannot, and the cry that he is a farmer will avail nothing.

CHAS. P. BAYMILLER, Esq, formerly associate editor of the Madison Courier, has issued a prospectus for anew democratic newspaper at Evansville, to be oaUed the 'Evanaville Weekly Times.' Mr. B. is a gentleman of fine talents as a writer and will play the deuce with his 'intellectual immensity,' Ad. Saunders of the Journal. We wish him all success, both politically and pecuniarily.

The Madison Banner says that, contrary to all expectation, pork operators are realizing glorious profits. Large fortunes will be made.

The Huntington'Herald gives the the detsils of horrible occurrence that recently transpired in the vicinity of that place. A party who had gone on a fishing excursion, and who were supplied with liquor during their sport, built up a fire, and, in the evening they sll returned home with the exception of one Loney, who was drunk, and left near the fire. During the night his clothing took fire, and burned off of him, crisping his body all over. In tha morning he was accidentally discovered yet alive, and still calling in an almost audible voice for some one to put out the fire! He died in a few hours afterwards, leaving a large family of children in destitute circumatauces.

MR. CLAT.—The Washington Telegraph says Mr. Clay is feeble, and subject to frequent ohanges generally produced by the varying weather. He passes most of his hours in the day sitting up, or prominading his chamber. It is only occasionally that be is obliged to keep his bed in tbe day time. When the sreather continues favorable for any lencth of time his improvement is always very man- *».*? '3 ifest.

Tbe Cincinnati Atlas thinks that the defeat of the Whigs at the late election in that city must be ascribed to two causes—'firstly to tbe^vpt^giv!^/ secondly, to the votes not given.'

We can't imagine any other cause. The Atlas must be right. ^Laf

Mas. Gstst's CASE.—The New York Journal of Commerce of tbe 10th, says: We learn from Washington, that the Supreme Court of the United Stales have refaeed a re-bearing to Mrs. Giines, widow of Gen. Gaines, by a vote of 4 to 2. This, we suppose ends tbe chapter. Had ber claims been sustained, she would have been probably tbe wealthiest person in the United States- There have be«ft times, during tbe progress of tbe suit, when said, site might have compromised for half a miUioit of dollars.

Tbe Loadon Itsset states that apoa an average, one person in twenty of tbe Inhabitants of that city, is every day destitute of food or employment, and every night witbevta place for sheher or repose.

TKN HOUR LAW.—Tbe Ohio Legislature has passed a law fixing ten hours as the proper time of labor in all manufactories, work-shops, and all other places used for mechanical purposes. AH violations of the law, upon conviction, are subject to a fine of not less than five nor more than fifty dollars for each offence. Its provisions apply only to women and children under eighteen years of age.

BEST RACING TIME.—The Spirit of the Times says, on the subject of racing time: No horse ever went a mile in a minute, although it has been alleged. Such a feat is impossible, for it would require a horse to have a stride of 90 feet, and that perform it once every second. The best time ever made in a four mile race was msde by Fsshion. The time wss seven minutes and 30J.

SPEXJING TELEGRPH.—An exchange says 'The French an American juurnals are speculsting more or less upon the practicability of turning the eleotrie telegraph that connects England and France via the channel, into a medium of conversational intercourse. The modus operandi is this. A plate of silver and one of zinc are taken iuto the mouth, one above and the other below the tongue. They are then plaoed in contact with the wire and words issuing from the mouth so prepared are conveyed across the channel by the wire—in & whisper we suppose, though the account does not say. It baa been tried, it is said, with successful results.

A BEAUTIFUL ACTION.—The following good story is related by Sidney Smith, which is no less pleasing whether new or old: "A London merchant, who, I believe is still alive, while he was staying in the country with a friend, happened to mention that he intended, the next year, to buy a tioket in the lottery his friend desired that he should buy one for him at the same time which, of course, was very willingly agreed to.— The conversation dropped the ticket never arrived, and the whole affair was entirely forgotten, when the country gentleman received information that the ticket purchased for him by his friend had come up a prize of 8100,000. Upon his arrival in London, he inquired of his friend where he had put the ticket, and why he had not informul him that was purchased. '1 bought them both the same day, mine and your ticket, and I flung them both into a drawer of my bureau, and I never thought of them afterwards.' 'But how do you distinguish one ticket from the other? and why am I the holder of the fortunate ticket more than you 7' 'Why at the time I put them into the drawer, I put a little mark of ink upon the ticket which I resolved should be yours and upon opening the drawer, I found that tha one so marked was the fortunate ticket.'

Now,' adds the narrator 'this action appears to me perfectly beautiful it is le beau-ideal in morals, and gives that calm deep emotion of pleasure which every one so easily receives from the beauty of the exterior world."

Bayard Taylor has discovered what ages before had failed to do, the source of the river Nile in Africa. The Tribune says:

Thus will be determined one of the most famous and interesting geographical problems of ancient or modern times. The Nile will dissppear from literature as the symbol of fertilizing power of an unknown origin. It will cease to be unique in mystery among rivers, when it is found that as the Hudson flows from springs in the Adirondack,'— the Amazon from a Peruvian Lake and the Rhine and Rhrooe frooi the melting Alpine snows,so the awful and worshipped Nile drips from some virgin glscier in the Mountains of the Moon.'

RAILROAD FRO* EVANSVILLE TO NASHVILLK.— We have frequently spoken of the# importance of this connection. EvansvHle will soon be connected with the railroads of Indiana, aud the whole northern Slates. Nashville, during the present year, will be governed by raiiioads to Charleston and Savannah. .The short link between Nashville and Evansville, will soon only be wanting, to form ia circuit which shsll embrace tbe greater part of tbe settled portion of tbe Union. For uo equal distance in any part of the country can a railroad be built at less cost, and none promise a better return. Will not our Kentucky friends turn their attention to the above road! it can be built within 18 months after the first blow shall be struck. It'is a projeo that commands abundaot means abroad, if the people along the line will make the effort required of tbem. We regret to see a line of so much importance to tbe whole railroad systemic the couotry, remain so long untouched.-— Uaiese its friends move before the Louisville and Nashville railroad shall be completed, tbey may as well coosider lbeir project as abandoned, for after an outlet in another direction shall be opened, capital* tsts will not assist in budding traat would be ut some respects a rival lane.—Ajmenetsm.

Burnet's Patent Water Cooler, jP'HIS article Is the result of the application of scientlfin J. principle* to the purpose intended, To keep water as cool as po»»ible, as font) at pottibU, with the Uait pontile quantity of Ice.

The proprietor has long devoted his attention to this particular branch of domestic economy, and psssing from one Improvement to another, has at length arrived as near perfection as It is possible to reach. A proof of this Is found in the rory general use of ih«se Coolers In all parts of the country. A better proof of the aame fact is, that, since tlieir introduction, various Imitations of the genuine nrilole have been attempted—all falling short of tbe object, it is true, yet all proving clearly which way the tide of popular opinion is setting.

A simple statement of facts, In regard to these Coolers, will satisfy every one of their superiority. First, thsy are the only article of the kind tear patented. They ara furnished with two distinct non-conducting chambers, by means of which, with two pounds of Ice to the gallon, water is kept (at a temperature of 40 d»g. below zero, or only 8 deg. above the freexlng point) all day. Thus, at a cost of some five cents per day, a family of ordinary size can be constantly supplied with water as cold as ice itself larger numbers In the same proportion. This has been found by actual experiment lobe a saving of at least Se».inty-five per cent, over tha Earthen Jsrs, formerly used for this pnrpoas^

Again, these Coolers never Sweat in this way, saving much unnecessary waste and trouble. Being manufactured In the most workmsnllke style, and handsomaly finished In every respect, they make a very beautiful ornament for the Uli Boat.

ining Room, Hotel or Steam

An important Improvement has lately been added to the Cooler, vl*: A small Pan (eapabte of holding from ex to eight pounds of bolter) inserted directly under tbe cover. This quantity of batter can be kept perfectly hard alt day, without additional Ice—a very important addition to the economy snd comfort of families.

If desired, the Cooler can also be furnished at a small espease with a Filtering Apparatus, made and for sale at BURNET'S House Famishing Establishment,
