Cotmty Democratic Convention.
The following resolution wes passed at UM Democratic County Contention held on the 6th dny of May ls*t:
On motion, It was then Kettfaed, That tho Donoernts of Vigo County, bo requested to moot ia Mass Convention et the Court House In Torre-Hnnlo, on tke Second Satarday [Stli day] ia Julv *m for ibo pnrpooe of appointing Delegates to tho District Conrentlon sad consult as to tho organiuUon of Hie p*rtr* -i 3a Ft?. -J Who Shall be the Next Democratic Candidate for Congress la this District!
Our readers are aware of the fact mat heretofore we have had very liitle to say on this subject. We think, however, that the time has arrived when an expression of opin* ion from us will not be out of place. The limes require that if we would succeed, we must put forth our strongest men. It is not now or should not be, a mere question of personal or local preference it is not whether a man resides in Parke or Green, or any olher particular County in the District for ourselves we are prepared to lay aside all such considerations, and are only desirous of nominsiing the man. who with equal qualifications, can bring the strength, and has the bent chsnce of success. Such a man we believe Mr. Dsvis our present member lo be.
The fact cannot be deuied and need not be disguised, thai in this District ihe contest will be a close one it is true that Mr. Davis received a large majority of the votes, but that was not a fair criterion of the strength of parties Gen. Pierce beat Gen. Scott in the same counties only 89 votes ad* ding Mr. Hale's vole lo that of Gen. Scott, the Democrats were then in a minority of 82 voles Since then what have we witnessed? A systematic warfare waged against the administration of our choioe! The hardest blows dealt this administration have come from those who helped elevate it to power and those who professed lo be its friends Doos any man thiuk thai course of policy has strengthened the parlyT We think not. Toen there is the side issues of Temperance, Nebraska, and Native Americanism under the title of "Know Nothings it is expected that all these sects will coalesce with the whigs against Ihe democrats to a certain extent tbe Temperance question will not be so promiment in the Congressional, as in the State election it is true, but still, all these and many other causes are at work, the tendency of whioh is to undermine the foundation of parties, and to render still more uncertain the contest in this Congressional District, as well as in other Districts throughout the State. What then is the policy and duty of Democrats? Certainly to brioa[ forward their strongest men to lay aaide all perwnal and local rivalry to vie with each other iu devotion to the oause principles, not men, ahould be engraved on every Democratic heart, and float on every Democratic standard. S jprm*.
Q3» Remember that on Saturday aftercoon the 8/A of July next, the Democrats of Vigo will assemble io County Convention for the purpose of appointing Delegates to tbe Congressional Convention at Bowling* Green tbe 85th of know it will be a ve^ busy time with tbe Farmer* of the County, but we hope they will come up lo the Convention and say wbo they want to represent them ia the next Congress. It is quite as important that we attend the primary Conventions as it is that we attend the polls. Think of it Democrats of the County, and do not let a few men at ihe County seat determine wbo you shaU have to vole for. Tbo same remark* wiH epply to all the Counties of the District. If County Conventions have not already been called, tbey should be without delay, and meesutes taken to Nests a full Mtodaaor, foil deishooid be appointed lo BowlingGreen, and tbe Delegates instructed who to support as the first choice ol their Coua* ties in the nominating Convention. Wo do not believe ia leaving eo. important a matter to tbe discretion of Delegates: it should always bo determined at the primary meetings by tho voters themselves.

03- Our fellow townsman Chas. Haynes, master builder of flat*boats—-the famous broad born craft—this past season, constructed the largest flat boat for /reighting, that ever floated on tbo water. The dimensions of the boat, were in length one hundred and fifty feet, by twenty-three and half feet in width, and oarried three hundred and ninety five tons burden, safety to the portal New Orleans, without a particle of damage. UM freight consisted of 6,730 sacks of oorn whioh oontaioed 13950 bash* els. Tha crew was oomposed of ten men aod Mr. IJaynes, as captain. Mr. Haynes has boon lucky in his business he has been extensively engaged in it for thirteen years, and in that lime has never lost a boat. Tbo only injury ho has over oastaiaod fat freighiiag, was by stoving of two or three boats, hat tbe same ip each instance were repaired without material loes.

The idea of giving treee medicine Iboke unreasonable, but the effect is accounted for on natural principle. It is adsainistered by boring a hole in the tree and pouring uf the calomel and then plugging the sansemp, tightly. The «p is thereby impregnate! and the worms expelled.

Rev. G.,M. Beowick, long and favorably known as one of the most prominent
preachers in the Methodist Church of this State, died in Greencastle, on Saturday 17th in»t i-
03-"The Methodist Laity and Methodist preachers judge of a man by the com.pany he keeps and ike principles he sub' icribct to."
This sentence we find in a oommunioa* lion in Yesterday'd Journal, alluding to Prof. LARIUBKK. We suppose that in the estimation of the wriirr, a man who keepa the company of Democrats, and subscribes to Demooratio principles cannot be a worthy member of the methodist Church! Is thst ii! We believe thai within the pale of that Church, there are thousands and tens of thousands of as good Democrats as ever flood on the platform of popular rights, who are as good Christians as ever offered a petition lo the MOST HIGH, and that Prof. LARRABEK. though he cannot, like the Pharisee, thank God that he i* better than olher men, is an esteemed citizen, and an upright man, —honest in all hU dealings with his neighbors, true to his profession, temperate in all hi* habits, useful in his day and generation striving to aooomplish all the good of which he is capable. Such is the oharaoter and reputation of a man who keeps Democratio oompany and adheres to Democratic princi)le8. We kno'v that the Methodist Church would indignantly repudiate a sentiment like that whioh oxoominunioates a man, because of his political principles. Prof. LARKABKK'S declaration that he "would come when called, and go where called" comes in for another of the oft repeated doses of venom whioh have been administered by hia enemies,' lie announoed simply his acceptance of the nomination, and his intention to disoharge his duties faithfully if elected, it is well knowu that his duties as Superintendent oalLhim to all portions of the State, and ho announced that like a faithful servant of Ihe peopla, he would be ever ready to go where duty oalled.
