To the tVopie of tin- State of Iiidinnn. jVtUaw-CUitrn$! A watchful vigilance I* ever ueceaaary on the part of the people, to prevent ambitious aad deatffaing mail from mieleading publie seutiment and from creating confualon and excitement, for the purpose of accomplishing selfish and partlaao design*.

At no period of our national political hiatory b«a a more etrenuouaeflbrt been maie, and more aubtla and fallacioun artifices been resorted to by the opponent* of Democracy, than aince tlie commencement of the preaent aeaelon of Congrcaa, by thoao men, both In and out of our national council*, who have been the ancient enemies of the Democratic party, and who have erer atood ready to asaume any poaiiiou and to aaaert any creed that would enable them to gain atreugth in oppoaltiou to democratic rul*.

From the earlieat days of tbla republic she has been guided by Democratic councita, and goveraed by Democratic principles, with very abort intervals of Federal domination. Aria toe racy ia the innate and inexorable enemy and active antagonlat of repablkaniam, and has in tbla government alwsya attempted aud been willing to coalesce with any faction, to wed with any popular bereay, and to court any irtn or vagraul party organization, which either directly or remotely promiaed to atrengtben ita numbers, or to detract from the eflkicncy of that party of the people, which haacver atood uuder the fulda of the Democratic banner, and carried forward the great (riterest* of a progreaslve and and proaperoua country, by atrict adherence to tatablia'ied and constitutional principles.

It la only wlten the great Democratic party become apathetic or are oareleaaly relying upon the known atreugth and I bo acknowledged virtue of their principles, that then our Industrious and iualdlotia enemies attempt to make an attack upon them: and oo artful are they in their approaches, that many good and ho neat minded men are partially deluded by their specious professions, aud their vaunted proclamations, and frequently require tbe "aober second thought" before they can fully comprehend the position into which they have been beguiled. Every moral sense la appealed to, every chord of sympathy awakened, every generous feeling of the voter la invoked, with the deceitful Intention of seducing him into the embraces of those who only coax to conquer and flatter to destroy.

Every citlxea should remember that it ia a part of his duty to understand aad couakier the political obligation he owes to himaelf, to his country, and to posterity. He ahould bo ever alive to the call* of patriotism and of duty, and although he may not bo a proteased politician, he shoald recollect that be ia a sovereign of the land, and one of that people whose will make th laws of the State, aud and that whenever ho slumbers ia security under the belief that others will attend to his duties for him, he is liable to be deceived, and ere he be aware ef the fact, hi* lUwrties may be takes from him. inch by Inch, until he Is reduced to a state of vassalage and loose the proud estate of an Independent citbteti.

The following are ibe series of resolutions which were reported by the committee on resolutions,and passed with great unanioiiityij? •'Resolved, That the Democrats, of Indiana fully approve of the principles of tbe act extending the laws of the State over and organizing the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas-

Resolred, That we concur in the optnon thst it is not properly within the jurisdiction of Ct.ngreM determine the provisions of the constitution of a State, farther than to require that it be of republican form, but on the contrary, that the people do possess the right and power lo adopt such form of government as they deem best suited to their Isws and wants: and that this right should be recognized as one of the fundaments) principles of self government.

Resolved, That this Convention ia distinctly opposed to thst provision of the Nebraska and Kansas Bill, commonly known as the Clayton amendment, which made a distinction between native born and foreign inhabitants, who may be residents of tlie Territories, and feel gratified that the efforts of the Democracy have been successful in rxpunging that odious feature frotn the act.

Resolved, That inremperance is a great moral and social evil, (or the restraint and correction of which, legislative.interpositon is necessary and proper but that we cannot approve of any plan for ibe eradication or correction of thjs evil that must necessarily result in the infliction of greater ones and that we are therefore opposed lo any law upot^ this subject that will authorize the searching for, or seizure, confiscation, and 4 est ruction of private property.

Rrtolt+d, That we regard all political organisations, baaed upon the single idea of temperance reform, ae dangerous to the perpetuity of our republican form of government, by withdrawing tho attention of the people from the grea* political principUt upou which it ia founded and that wo moat earnestly appeal to our fellow Democrats,throughout the State, to adhere, in the selection of members of the legialatare, to tho practice of choosing auch men as will make theae great principles of Democratic policy, under the iufiueuco of which UiiscOuutry haa been brought to its preaent elevated and prosperous condition, paramount to all other considerations.

Rrsohrd, That Judge Douglas of tho U. S Senate ia entitled to. ami receives our hearty thank*, for so ably advocatiug the principle of non-inter-vention, as contained in the Kansas and Nebraaka bill, *u«i that we cordially endorse tho action of our Seuators and RepreacntaUvea In sustaining the same.

Rt*oltod, That we have full faith and confidence in the wisdom, patriotism, and ability of Franklin Pierce, President of the United States, and that wo fully approve of the principles laid down in his luaugural Message, aud hie message lo Congress, and that we moat truly and cordially endorse the general policy of his Administration, aa carried out in conformity with the principles laid down in •aid messages.

Bombardment ot Odessa. *jv. The most noticeable lact contained In the news by the Atlantic', is the Bombardment of Odessa. As recently as the year 1792. Odessa was a miserable Tartar village called Hadji-Bey. Catharine 11, who foresaw the necessity, in Southern Russia, of an important commercial entrepot on the Black Sea. commissioned (he celebrated Duke de Richelieu, after tbe Treaty of Jassy, to construct fortifications there, to cause a haven lo be dug nut for ships, and finally to lay the foundations of a populous town. Under the auspices of the Duke, a beautiful city sprung up as if by enchantment. A flat desert coast was made lo assume the form of an inclined plane a canal was dug by which water was brought three miles into the city and, where there had previously been no shelter for vessels, a deep commodious port was excavated, consisting of two moles, vast enough to receive over two hundred ships, and with a lazaretto on tho plan of that at Marseilles.

The city is handsomely built, chiefly of [detached two story houses of calcareous stono with wide afreets, now mostly paved or macadamised, hsndaomesquares, a public garden, three (heatres, and many public institutions. The Cathedral of St. Nicholas, with its beautiful cupola, in the most conspicuous of its buildings besides which, the Palace of th« Governor ol Southern Rus si*, who resides at Odessa, the Richelieu

Lyceum or Gymnasium of Commerce, the custom house, bank, and various hospitals and institutions of charity, embellish the eity.

In the beginning of this century. Odessa numbered but about 8000 inhabitants but.' tince 1807. in consequence of an imperial ukase, bestowing upon it for thirty years the privileges of a free port, it has rapidly increased in population, numbering, at preaent, nearly 5)0,000 sou Is. It is the commercial emporium for all that part of Southern Russia, watered by the Denwter, Rug and Denieper, and its markets have been principally in die very countries from which it will bo excluded by tha present war. Its annual exportation of wheat have of late years averaged about 2.000,000 imperial quarters, ibe greater part being sent to Marseilles. nearly one-third to Eogland, and portions io Malta. Leghorn. .Genoa, and Constantinople. Ilia raluo of wheat ex potted in 1S4? alone, is estimated by Me CuHough at £4.000,0011 Odessa needs not to be bombarded lo be destroyed. A long continued blockade would destroy it, by annihilating commerce- It is aituaied or. a desert shore, to* scant cultivaboa of which is forced aod artificial—the pure product of industry—sod it most decay if derived of the nourishment by which it has attained its growth.—N.

public have as yet seen but one side of this case, and that one has been most unscrupulously misrepresented by those most eager for my blood and ruin. I have been acquitted should at least argue a presumption of my innocence, strong enough to induce the most hostile to pause till they can examine the testimony produced at my trial. This is all 1 desire, and surely it is not much for a man to ask who has uncomplainingly submitted lo so much as I have d0U •.. *'.

A full and impartial report of the testimony in the case has tften prepared by Mr. A. D. Richardson, one of the most accomplished short-hand writers in the West, and will soon be issued from the press of Messrs. Appleton & Co., New York. Although I felt the highest confidence in Mr. Richardson's ability and impartiality, yet when I remembered the former course of my enemies, the precauiion was taken to have ihe report authenticated by several gentlemen, whose positions place them above even the soariug accusations of the Courier.

All that I ask of you, gentlemen of the press, is silence until this report can be be placed before the public, and if you do not then discover some belter reason for my acquittal than the corruption of the jury, I am willing lo submit to your universal condemnation. I have made no previous attempt to resist the designs of my enemies— not as they would falsely insinuate—because I had no defence to make, but because^ I relied with confidence on the just administration of the laws of my country. I break that silence now, which the better judgment of friends formerly imposed upon me, only because my persecutors seem to have lost all respect for the law, and have

The Louisville Courier has, I k/e. proposed to publish mv trial in pamphlet form but the gentleman who was employed by this paper is not a stenographer, aud the report could not be full and satisfactory in all the details of cross exsmination. even if notes were fairly published Mr. Cole would not, I know, make an unfair report for any consideration, but from past experience I should epprehend that aome liberties might be taken with his notes before they see light. I make this suggestion for his sake as well as my own. It is a fact worth noting, too. that whilst Mr. Colo was preparing this report for tha Courier, he wrote letters to his paper, the Cincinnati Gaxette, in which he expressed an opinion that I would be acquitted, which waa based oo the evidence io the case. We may hereafter have an opportunity of comparing Mr. Cole's opinion of tbe testimony with the version the Courier may give it.

MATT. F. WARD^

0£r We learn from tho Louisville Courier, of the 23d inst., that MATT. F. WARD, arrived in that city on Monday, from his Arkansas plantation, on the steamer Robt. J. Ward. Quite a sensation was produced throughout tbe city when intelligence of his presence was circulated, ..

The following paragrapHsTrom the Helena (Ark.) Shield, published in tbe immediate vicinity of Matt. Ward's Arkansas plantation, is interesting at this crisis, it was written by the editor in response to a statement that the Wards had gone to Arkansas:

NEW 0*LEAXS, May 2%.

of the 18th, gives

us the following particulars respecting ihe destruction of this most beautiful and valuable structure whioh c6st •160.000:

The wind was very high nearly all day yesterday, and about three oclook it rose to a fierce tornado, swinging the immense Wheeling bridge, the grandest struoture of the kind in the world, to and fro for about ten minules. when the fastenings gave away and the whole superstructure was plunged into the river below. It is a great calamity the greatest apparently, that Wheeling has, ever experienced. There was no one on it at the time, and no one hurt in the least, although the loll'house was torn to pieces and some smsll buildings near it injured.

The anchorage on the south aide appeared first to give way, by tho parting of one anchor bar. Other osbles on the aouth side were thrown from the tower, and in the small ones the wire parted. Two cables on the north aide still remain Arm in their places, the whole auspendera have given way, letting tbe bridge fall an entir* wreck into the river.

Mr. Bell the bridge tender, was fortunately out of his oflioe whan the bridge fell, or he would probably have been killdd, «s the office waa crushed, He very narrowly escaped with bis life. He bad seen tbe danger to it some minutes before it occurred, and prevented persons from going on it. It was raised up by the wind to tbe full highl of tbe cables and then dashed.down carrying heavy stono* with it, ,,m $ t$s&

Tba workmen have promptly commenced removing th* ruins of tbe bridge from the river, but tbe structure was immense, and cables still attached the wood work, may cause a few days* suspension of nav« igatieo.

"Only tho base, the bigoted, ihe besoled, the bloody-minded, and the cruol." he added, -were against ua." "The North hud sold out to slavery."
