dent. Our ticket must be tcr.ned emphatically a strong one, and one which will bo most triumphantly successful in the coming Presidential contest.

Gen. Pierce, widely and favorable known as a man of ability, and carefully selected with reference to his opinions upon those subjects which ore now agitating the Union, was almost unanimously nominal the Democratio candidate for the Presidency by the Ualtimoro Convention. Although not choice, or the first choice of the Dcinoeraoy of Indiana, yet, when we take into immoderation lite difficulties of the Convention, and the objection's which might and would have been taken In some of the defeated candidates had they prevailed, we feel that we have reason to congratulate the party on such a favorable result.— The wisdom, therefore displayed by our Convention tn thus selecting these tried and true men, as our standard bearers, cannot be too highly appreciated by every Democrat in the country. In now placing their names before the people, therefore, we are gratified to know that the Democracy of the Union, although they may diflor as to the merits and avuiUbility of individual candidates, are firmlyunited North and South in tltMi determination to support the nominees of the lhtllimtxe Convex tion. The nomination being now mad© according lo the established usages of the party, all personal nud minor considerations will be oast aside, and principles* which the Democratic faith has always held paramount to men, will become the watchword, and the Democracy of the entire Union will rally in solid phalanx, to secure the triumph of those principles.

Already have we a repetition of the days of 44 When on." whig opponents sneeringly asked, who is Jemmy Polk Tho cry now is who is this Franklin Pierce!' Tho people responded in *44, at the polb,'he i* our Prrsident.*.. A similar response will greet them in 5^*

Franklin Pierce,'* too Slate Sentinel, "is native ot the »oM Graniie Mountain State*—a State which, since her redemption from Fedcirali,v the triumphant election of Benjamin Pierce the J«iikson candidate for Governor in IS29, hasnever faltered in her devotion lo Democracy. This Benjamin Pierce, who was re-elected in 1830, was the father of Franklin Pierce, who early imbibed Ute principles so deeply cherished by his father and his Democratic friend*. At an early age, Franklin Pierce was a favorite with the people who honor ed him with their confidence, in 183! fay electing him to the legislature ot New Hampshire. He was re-elected in i83f, and at that aes*ion he was

Speaker of the Mouse of Representatives. In 1833 h© was elefeted to Congress fmm the Htlbborough Dwtrioi was re-elected in 11-3 a and again in 1037. nNew lUmpshire rarely returns otie to Ogress altrr four years service, and the honor of thnee elected fall* to but few u»et», ltow«v*r taUnttd.

tlilles (braat upon hi«n. In deed he baa declined places of honor and profit, wbrcb have been tendered him by his parly. IN does not belong to that class of selfish polkiciaii^*ho»e only trade is office, and when he has ace^»«ljpublic stations it has been only frmit a sense of duty which he owed his country.

In December, 1846, Mr. Polk tendered him a sf at in bia cabinet, io place of Attorney General Mason. He declined the appointment which almoat any man other than Franklin Pierce, would have readily accepted.. At the solicitation of his New England friends, the President appointed him in March 1847, Brigadier General ot the New England and New York volunteers.

He at once proceeded to the seat of war, and landed at Vera Cruz in the month of June, 1847. The main army was at Puebla awaiting the arrival of Gen. Pierce's column, before advancing upon the city of Mexico. Gen. Pierce left Vera Cruzonthe 19th of July. 1847, with near 3000 men, having been delayed until that time by the want of transportation. During bis march to Pueula no organized opposition was offered by the goerilleros, although he was constantly annoyed and harrassed from the flanks, which caused him some loss in wounded but no delay. The bridge of the Rio del Plan, a noble arch, had been destroyed in hope of impeding his progress but a few hours' work sufficed to cut a road down the •teep banks, and as the river waa only a streamlet, the whole column and convoy passed without accident. At Jalapa he found some diffiulty in obtaining supplies, but the threat of sending the civil authorities lo the castle of Perote as prisoners had at once the desired effect, and the supplies were furnished.

Gen. Pierce was met at Perole by a portion of Gen. Smith's Brigade, who had distributed his force along the road so as to clear it of any force that might attempt to impede Pierce's progress.— On the 6th of August Gen. Pierce entered Puebla with a force of 2429 men, of all arms His loss had been principally from sickness, and the invalids had been left at Perote. The next day after Pierce's arrival the army commenced its march upon the Capital.

The American army arrived in the valley of Mexico on the 13th of August, and on the 19th the battle of Conteras was fought and won. In this battle the gallant Pierce, whilst commanding his brigade in a dangerous attack on the enemy, was wounded by the fall of his horse, which stumbling in a cloft of rocks, threw him heavily to the ground, (lis troops, during the whole contest, were in the most perilous position, yet he remained with them, notwithstanding hw^o^uniil,5ihe^lose of the battle.

The following incident which transpired aunng the battle, which we copy from 'Ripley'a War with Mexico,' will show where Gen. Pierce was on that occasion. ,( ..3 .•W-.'iL i*J*• i1 •Toward midnight the moon shone out for a briaf while and the narrow road by which the batteries had advanced, became visible. Captain Mogruder then thought of availing himself of Pillow's permission to retire, to repair his losses and damages. Picrce, who although quite lame, remained upon the field, opposed it for some time, and it was not until the moon was nearly down that he gave his consent.'

The battle of Cherubusco was fought on the 20th of Augrst. Gen. Pierce's brigade was stationed in the front rank and was in the hottest of the fight, and at ono time Iho troops under his command, as well as those of General Shields, were in a most critical position, being opposed by a force of five to one. But the danger was faced and the American army was again victorious.,#

After these battles the Mexicans proposed an armistice, and General Pierce was one of the Commissioners appointed by General Scott to negociate it. The armistice expired on the 6th of September. Hostilities again commenced with the battle of Molino del Rey. General Pierce's brigade was stationed at San Borga, near three miles off, and near the close of the contest was ordered, together with Riley's Brigade to Molino del Rey, but before they arrived upon the field. Molino del Rey was carried and the enemy beating a retreat. Gen. Pillow, who commanded Pierce's and Riley'a brigades, was afterwards ordered to send two regiments to the Molino del Rey to cover the retreat of Garland's and Cadwallader's brigades, which were directed to fall back on Tacubaya. For this duly Gen. Pierce was sent down with the second and ninth regiments, and although the guns of Chapultapec were served spitefully upon them, the movement was accomplished without loss,

Gen. Pierce also, participated in the battle of Chapultapcc, and the battles at the gates of the city of Mexico. His superior officers apeak in the highest terms of his gallantry. After the city of Mexico was taken, and negociations for peace were gsing on, Gen. Pierce resigned his command and returned to the United States."

Of WILUAM R. KINO, the distinguished nominee for the Vice Presidency, It is needless to speak. The able manner in which he has filled the chair a» President of the United States Senate, since the accession of Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency, is well known to the whole country. He ia familiarly known as the 'father of the Senate,' having served with distinguished honor to himself and the State which he represents, in that body for upwards of thirty years. He was also during Mr. Polk's administration, Minister to the court of France, which position he filled with marked ability, ilts capacity for the station he now fills with so much distinction, is undoubted, and that by the voice of the people he will be retained in that station, there can be no reasonable doubt.

FRANKLIN PIERCE AND WILLIAM The

IToainatieM.

made last with almost entire unanimity, are received here and everywhere so far as we have learned, with universal eothusiam. It appears that •II the conflicting elements, of the Convention were harmoniously united upon the names erf* FXANKLIK PIERCE, of New Hampshire and WILUAX R- KING, of Alabama, thus bringing together the two ex tremes of the country upon the basis of the Union and the great cardinal principle of the Democratic Party. The names of PIERCE and KING have al ready become a watch word in the ranks. Under such a banner the Democracy of Indiana will raly to a man. Under that banner, tbey iear no defeat

With two such distinguished names the success of the Democracy is as certain as any forth comi event can well be They are names which prove singularly happy in uniting upon a harmoni ous basis tbe entire party north and south. All individual preferences for other candidates will be cast aside or forgotten in the excellent nomination's of the Convention. "PIERCE and KING" (the one from a Democratic free state, and the other a Democratic slave State) will not only be talismanic names for Union and harmony, but the great watch word for a brilliant and decisive victory to the National Democracy. We bespeak for them an enthusiaslic support in Indiana, and in "Old Vigo", such as a Democratic nomination never before received.

The choice of the Hon. John VV. Davis, of Indiana, as the President of the Democratic National Convention, says the Baltimore Sun, was received with the heartiest approval, and his bearing in the chair fully sustained the high reputation he has enjoyed as Speaker of the House. He was firm, courteous and efficient. His,address, brief and appropriate, and delivered with marked sincerity of tone, was received with a degree of cordiality which marked the perfect confidence of the Convention in the man selected to preside over its deliberations.

0^7" The following is the result of the last ballot, which nominated Gen. Pierce, for the Presidency *Jt will be seen that it was almost a unanimous choice, a greater unanimity, probably, than any nominee ever before received in a Presidential Convention. Gen. Lane, of our State received 13 votes, (the electoral vote of Indiana,) on some five or six ballots: t*?ii i*d,

FORTY-NINTH BALLOT. 1

Cass 2 Houston, 1 Doofilaf?ifef 2 Pierce, 283 Buller, 1 C^T Our National Anniversary, endeared to every lover of human rights by innumerable fond associations, is near at hand. Shall it pass without any appropriate demonstration upon the part of our citizens? We hope not. We would like to see a good old fashioned fourth of July celebration, bring out the cannon, have a speech, the declaration of Independence read, &c. We fear that our people in their very progressive spirit are beginning to neglect the proper observance of this day. This disposition to treat the day thus lightly should be much deprecated,

03- Meetings friendly to MEAGHER the Irish Patriot and exile, have lately been held in Indianapolis, Madison, Cincinnati, and other cities. Resolutions of sympathy, and extending to him welcome to our shores have been adopted with enthusiastic applause. Has the Exile of Erin" no sympathizing friend in our city?

We are truly sorry that neither of our neighbors of the Courier or Express like our nominations. We don't know, however, but that it is rather natural after all. The Convention we think acted most unwisely in not consulting our sage contemporaries in regard to whom they should nominate. The party will suffer much, we fear, from their disaffection.

The election, says the Independant Press, of two Bishops from the Indiana Conference, is complimentary to the State, but still it takes from their ranks two of the most distinguished men they had. It is expected that Bishop Ames will visit Oregon and California this fall. The College of Bishops now a strong one, consisting, since the late addition as follows: Waugn, Morris, Janes, Scott, Baker, Simpson and Ames.

Professor Wm. C. Larrabee, the democratic candidate for State Superintendent of common sohools in Indiana, we learn has been elected by the General Conference, Editor of the Ladies Repository, Cincinnati, Ohio. We have no doubt that Prof. L. will accept of the office, consequently a new nomination for Superintendent will have to be made by the Democratic party. Though we are only independant we would suggest the name of Rev. Dr. Rucker, of New Albany, for the nomination, as he's one of the strongest democrats, and very popular withal.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS INDIANA.—The prospects of the success of the Democracy at the approaching election are flattering. A whig leader in the Legislature declared a few days ago, in a speech, that there was no hopes of beating Gov. YVright. The Democracy should organize, and be vigilant, as the only danger lies .in over confidence in our strength. We have an unscrupulous foe to contend against—one that will resort to ^very stratagem that can be conceived of, in order to succed. Democrats, organize yourselves into democratic clubs, circulate the documents endpapers and roll us up a majority. next fall for the Democratic ticket of at least 25.000. It can be done.

Hon. John W. Davis.

Upon taking the chair as President of the Democraiiu National Convention, spoke as folio wasp •Gentlemen of the convention 1 return you my sincere and cordial acknowledgements for the honor conferred by calling me to preside over your deliberations. Although not although not altogether unused to the duties of tho chair, I approach it on this occasion with great doubts as to my success in presiding over so large an assembly but in mv attempt to discharge the arduous duties, I ask you to bear in mind that good old maxim, 'order is heaven's first law,' (apllause.)

I shall call loudly for your forbearance. May I not say I ask for the exercisee of a higher and puer christian virtue called 'forgiveness not only toward the chair, but towards one another. I ask also and conjure you as fellow democrats, embarked in the great obligations that rest upon you as a party, to promote harmony, conciliation and compromise. Every thing for principal—nothiug for men I again thank you, gentlemen. f*r

The Express is anxious to know who is the Joureal's favorite, for Congress, and says that we as fhe organ of the Party, should take the initiative step and declare our first choice. We will inform our neighbor that we have no anxiety to dictate to the Democracy of the 7th Congressional District who they shall run lor Congress, our duty we oonceive is not to say who shall be the candidate but to support that candidate when fairly before the people. This duly we shall discharge boldly, fearlessly, and to the extent of our ability. We know of none to whose claims we would rather lend our feeble advocacy than ih at of the present incumbent Hon. JOHN G. DAVIS. If tho choice of the disirict, he will receive from oar hands tbe most cordial support.

John Clayton is industriously cultivating his farm in Delaware. This is a good example for all other politicians to follow.

Thd Methodist General Conference, now in session in Boston, has passed a resolution declaring that an annual Conference is not competent to censure its members for joining secret societies.

The marshal of Indianapolis has given notice that tbe ordinances of the city, requiring strict observsnce of the Sabbath will be rigidly enforced, so far as he is concerned. He gives the barbers to understand that, hereafter Sunday shaving will not be tolerated. Druggists are required to restrict their sales on the Sabbath to articles of necesssity and keepers of livery stables are enjoined not to hire horses or carriages for trips of noisy pleasure.

Full Particulars or Mr. Meagher's Escape. Mr. Meagher arrived in New York on Wednesday night, in brig Acorn, from Pernambuco. having escaped to that place from Van Dieman'a Land, in an American Whaler. He says he had partial liberty on a ticket of leave, at the time he escaped, but did not violate its conditions. Having made arrangements for his flight, on a fleet horse, which wae saddled in his stable, he addressed a letter to the magistrate of Ross, twenty miles distant, in a district out of which he not permitted to go. in which he returned his ticket of leave, and 'said he would remain at his hou*e that day until twelve o'clock, when his leave expired, in order to gfive an oportunity of arresting him, if they could.

When the Magistrate read the letter, he ordered tbe chief police to arrest Meagher, but he refused. Meagher waited six hours after the time, in order to giveuhe British "authorities any excuse for saying he had violated his pledge. He was accompanied by the young English settlers, who supplied him with horses and had horses themselves. The moment the police entered the house he passed out at another door, mounted his horse, came around to the front, and told them to arrest him if the could. The next moment, he pot spurs to his horse, and, with his friends was soon out of sight He travelled 180 mile to the coast, embarked ia a whaler, and thence on a ship the name of which be keeps a secret.

»»An

On his arrival at New York he proceeded quietly to the house of bis friend Richard O'Gorman, in Dean street, Brooklyn, where he is now staying, and was last night welcomed by a large nunmber of Irish societies. Great excitement among the Irish population. Meagher addressed the crowd in front of the house and said his only regret was in leaving Smith O'Brien and John Mitchell behind him. lie is a fine military-looking young man, and excellent orator.

PROSECUTION FOR WITCHCRAFTS—A prosecution was instituted before Alderman Crowell, in Philadelphia, last week for witchcraft—The parties were colored, and it was charged that the prosecutor and defendant had a quarrel, which terminated iu the latter offering to shake the other's hand. He did so, whereupon the proseoutor was seized with a fit and fell to the earth in a state of insensibility.— He was afterwards confined to the house for several days. The magistrate refused to bind him over for witchcraft, but he held the defendant for his future good behavior.—Pittsburgh Post,

WOMEN'S RIGHTS.—At tbe election of the vestrymen in St. Michael's church, Trenton and Trinity church, Priceton, N. J., last week women were allowed to vote. In both parishes, it ia said, they were victorious and in the former, where the election was closely contesled, they were almost unanimously arrayed against the male members of the parish, and out voted ihem iwo to one. An effort was made in EUsabethiown to introduce ladies as voters, but it failed. ^NSL

INTERESTING TO MAIDS AND BACHELORS.—In civililized countries, about one person in sixty is married every year. Therefore let no one despair for every individual holds in the mariage lottery, one sixthtiest of a chance. It is further computed, that at least three thousand marriages are celebra* ted every day, and that no moment elapses, from one year's end to another, in which the delightful ceremony is not coming off. Thrilling fact!

ECCENTRIC BEGGARS.—Rather a ludicrous scene occurred in St. Mark's Place on Saturday afternoon. An old woman with three children was asking for 'something to help along a poor widow woman and three children' one gentlemen droped a peony in her hand. This she deemed sn insult, and immediately resented it by throwing the penny at him saying 'Ye dirty blackguard, can't ye be aAher giving a poor widdy more than a penny? It's fine clothes ye wear to be shure, to give the likes of Bridget McGee one cent!' Then-followed terrible tirade of abuse and maledictions upon the head of the donor. He was completely tsken by storm, and left, declaring that if be ever give another beggar less than a shilling he hoped to be shot. It stands good citzens in hand to be cautious what pieces they give to street beggars, and perticularly to the 'widdy women with three small childer.'—2V. Y. Sun,

A 'VERT' POUTS MAN.—Tbe Springfield Republican says, that it onee knew a man in that town so* polite as to say as he passed a hen ou her nest— 'Don't rise, ma'am, don't disturb jrourself on my account.'

Tbe Pkwgbkeepeie (N. Y.) Press stales that a young man by the name of WebsSer died of the tooth ache in (hat place few days since.

C., sending the challenge to the Representative of Napoleon the little, is his having lighted a cigar in the presenoe of ladies who were in company with the Hon. gentleman, who is now so great a stickler for etiquette that he forgets his early occupation, which wo are told was that of a cracker baker. He would now, at the age of 67, risk his life in defending the cherished rules of aristocratic society. This is an astonishing country.—Pennsylvanian.
