«... /. ..'i 'iH-foiiE1.* Democracy*

The Democratic State Convention has gone for whiskey! The sentiment is frequently nt%*red, nov, by old and staunch Democrats, •that it is impossible, any longer, to count upton any stability of principle in those who claim Jthe name and wield the power of that party.

Once such, a long tried, honest son of real ^Democracy, lamented, a day or two since, in ?our hearing, the deplorable state of his party. •He cannot go with them, yet he lingers, and -elings to the name. His party has left him, l]ie says, and not he, tho party. Ho is oppos»cd, from principle, and what honest man is inofc, to the extensiou of slavery over territory now free, and he is in favor or the suppression «f drunkenness. But alas! for him and for thousands of good old fashioned Democrats, the extension of slavery and tho free use of whiskey have taken the place of principle with the party—what & creed To bind men and let the Devil go free Democracy, with a «vengence! Well, it becomes us, of Indiana, all who love their State and their country, to lay tho a*e to the root of all this iniquity, as ifar as we, a State, ar« concerned, by passing "the Maine Law. It is notorious that we are ^uow led by the nose, at home by tipplers and Hopers and at the big Capital, by drunkards and gambUn What more honorable legislation can we expect at their hands than what 'we have been lately receiving. Let Indiana, thoroughly purge her own soil from tho demon *of drunkenness, as other States aro doing.—

The hope of becoming sober, free from a gnawing nppetite for whiskey, so that we shall be able to elect sober men to represent us—this is our gleam of hope for the nation the Maine Law iB our bow of promise in the distance.— Let us hail it! Let its bright arch bend over

?us

a remembrance that the deluge is stayed, and a pledge that the intellect and morals of our people shall be drowned by whiskey no more.

The Democratic delegates doVt quite like to come right out of doors to tho sunlight. Their sentiments area little too slimy to bear the searching light and heat of open day. The old trick is resorted to, that is, of verbiage. They seek to cover up tho naked setiment in a longpalava. A very necessary means of hooking the wool over the eyes of their followers.

Witness the following: "Rittlvi, That intemperance I* a great moral and aocial evil, for tho reatralnt and corroctloirbf which, leelalatlve Interposition 1* neeea»ary and proper but that we cannot approve of any plan for the eradicaHon or correction of thin evil tint must necMarily rc* •ult In the Infliction of greater otvca and that we are therefore oppoacd to any law upon this iubjcct that will authorlte the tiarcking for, or tttiure, confiscation, and dulrMiioii of private property.

Why not say, in plain English: Resolved, That drunkard-making is a great impropriety, but the preventing of it by force of law is a greater. Laws, on this subject, should be advisory not prohibitory. If a man is unwilling to give up the profits to be had by ruining his neighbor, why he ought to bo let alone. 'Tis democratic. Rcspect the party that has the advantage: "RUolvti,

That is, a groat many voters love whiskey. Wo may lose votes by advocating a stringent liquor law. Our election is of more impor tanco than temperance. If whiskey will buy rotes, let us have them.

MR.

TRAVERSE, May 1st, 1854.

EDITOR:—It

It is now May—hs^pfjrf pleaSAnt May the prairies before our door are all dotted over with beautiful flowers.

It has been one of the most delightful springs, so far, I ever saw in any climate. 'ITie flowers began to make their appearance on the 2nd day of April, and the grass to show some signs of life about the same time and now the grass is eight or ten inches in height, and cattle have been living well since the 15lh ult.,,, ^Ve ha\e had just about as much rain asjive needed for agricultural purposes.

Our farmers are making preparations to plant extensively, for so new a place some are even making calculations on supplying the Indians with corn next fall, and •expect to get $1,00 a bushel for all they

can raise to sell. Emigration is pouring in upon us rapidiy, and the only inquiry to "where can I

find a house." a,.,, I thought, in my last, that I bad given all the information that could be asked for but I find from the numerous letters of inquiry that the half has not been

told. $:v i..,. The prices at St. Paul, I enclose, which if you will please give, will answer every

question on that point. Id/ The questions respecting fruitgrowing, will be better answered by the communication of a gentleman of St. Paul, which is also sent for the benefit and information of all on that subject.*

Good milk cows will bring from $45 to $50—hogs almost any price you please to a.s«k—chickens frtim 4 to $6,00 a dozen but these prices will not continue long for we are trying to raise these things as fast as possible.

Our prairies that were broken last summer, are well rotted and now appear like old ground tlifcy are mostly a black, sandy loam and probably none can be found better adapted to agriculture than they.— The growth is much quicker than any I ever tried. There will be quite a crop of Spring wheat raised here this year.— There was some winter wheat put in last fall, in the vicinity of St. Paul, which did well and farmers now entertain no doubts about this being a better wheat growing country, for both kinds, than Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa or Wisconsin."

The snow almost invariably lying on tbewliole winter, forma complete protection against the severe winters, which you think we have here.

The Indians have just returned to visit us again, after an absence of several months, in the woods, making sugar.

They arc now enjoying the fruits of their labor—continually feasting, dancing, singing, playing at Ball fcc., and appear (0 be making no preparation for the future —neither planting nor sowing, nor expecting to reap.

If that bill, which is before Congress, should become a law, andl'x'end a protection to individual property, and destroy the community system, something might be done towards civilization but until then it is useless for Government to threaten, or Missionaries lo preach, or any other earthly power to try to effect a reformation.

If any wish fb come to visl^ our country they can reach here in five or six days via Crawfordsville or Indianapolis, Chicago and Devanport on the Mississippi, as the Galena Road is not yet finished.

But the cheapest way is to bring good tennvs and stock plenty of every kind, and come to Galena. „„vv,

Property here, and indeed in almost all parts of the Territory, is rising, beyond anything yon ever knew, except in California. Rospectfullv,

G. H.S.

Wc cannot insert, in full, the extracts alluded to, but we see by them that prices of all nec«ssary articles of family consumption, range very nearly on a par with the same art! cles with us exceptthat flour is cheaper, ($7,) and apples are dearer, ($1,15 per bush.)

G. Merrifield, Nurseryman at St. Paul, sums up along communication on fruit rais ing,thus:

Of the smaller fruits, such as currants, gooseberries, 4c. and the more popular varieties of ornamental shrubbery, suca as snowballs, lilacks, «tc., it is sufficient to state that they have stood the winter perfectly safe with out any protection.

In conclnaion, I am satisfied that apples, pears, planus, and the more hardy cherries, may be grown successfully here without any protection, and that peaches, quinces, grapes, apricots, &cv.may be cultivate with a little attention to their protection, as above indicated. And now it to be hoped that no one will delay to plant trees from the apprehension that they will not do well. Abetter soil for fmit than otirs cannot be found, and if any conclusions can be drawn from the above facta the climate will prove no serious obstacle.

IT An important case was decided in the Supreme Court recently, Cruit Cerautes w. United States. It was an appeal from the district court of California. In this leading land case the Supreme Court decided that the United States had, by manifest error in die manner of conducting the appeal, lost all right to have the decision of the commtssiooers reviewed. So the claimant geta the land. The same point will secure the UUe of Col. Fremont to the Mariposa estate, and many other iapenant claims.

Bill

TCumx0T09, May 26.

soma^reliminary business

vesterday, the consideration of the Nebraska

wae resumed. W~ Mr. Bell continued, bis speech commenced yesterday against the Bill, in which he rebuked Mr. Toombs for some personal remarks that gentleman made yesterday. He also was verv severe on Mr. Badger, for undertaking to commit him (Mr. Bell), for the Bill, and said ho never attended the meeting of the Southern Whig Senators, which authomed Mr. Badger to say all the Southern Whig Senators were for the Bill. He (Mr. Bell), had never said he would sustain the Bill, but cautioned his friends frequently not to rely upon him, and had never talfced to Mr. Badger on the subject- He said no one liked the Nebraska Bill, and he sympathized with those who in deep agony had to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Douglas.

He «aid the statement that he had declared him«t*lf in favor of the Bill, was false, no matter who it came from.

The discussion was continued up to midnight without anything of very special interest occurring.

Mr. Douglas thru took the floor and defended the bill,''and repeated his denunciations of the blasphemous sermons and memorials of t\\Q clergy. Hfttlien ^rent on at great longtn to reply to the intimations that _the-passage of the bill would render inoperative all laws in regard to slavery at the north.

Mr. Toncey said he had expressed his opinions on the bill before, and they were still the Same. He had been instructed by the present Whig abolition Legislature of Connecticut, to vote against, the bill, but after mature reflection, be had come to the conclusion to disobey the instruction!1, and obey the instructions of the Constitution.

The bill was then ordered to be cngrossedtor a third reading by the following vote Yeas—Atchison, Badger, Benjamin, Brodhead. Brown, Butler. Cass, Clay, Dawson, Douglas, Fitzpatrick, Gwin, Hunter, Johnson, Jone«. of Iowa Jones, of Tenn Mallonv, Mason,Mortin, Norris, Pearce, Pettit, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Shields, Slidell, Sntnrt, Thompson of Ky Thompson, of N. J- Toombs, Tou cev, "WVller, Williams, and Wright.—35.

Kays—Allen, Bell. Chase. Clayton. Fish, Foote, Gillet, Hamlin, James, Seward, Sumner. Wade, and Walker—13.

Mr. Snmner said he had a letter from his colleague, erdeavoring to maice arrangements to pair off with some other Senator, but no such arrangements had been made. If his colleague was present he would vote against the bill.

Mr. Butler said if his colleague were present, he would vote for the bill. The bill was then put on its passage, as it came from the House.

Mr. Sumner demanded the yeas and nays, which was refused, and at a quarter past one o'clock the bill passed, and the Senate adjourned until Monday.

A salute of one hundred guns commenced being fired off the capital hill, as soon as the result was announced, pending which the Senators retired to their cots to sleep—"perchance to dream."

HOUSE.—The House went into committee on the amendments to the Deficiency bill, and several of the Senate amendments were rejected, among them the amendment appropriating $771,000 for a Custom Ilsuse at St. Louis, Mobile, Cincinnati, Louisville, Bangor, Bath, Wilmington, Del., Providence, and San Francisco and an appropriation of $181,500 for marine hospitals at Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Loilisville, Paducha, Evansville, San Francisco and Burlington, Iowa. The committee then rose, and the House adjourned till Monday. -i

SHOCKIXG TRAGEDY.—At Elletsville, in this county, a few days ago, a terrible scene occurn*d, "vrtiich in tho horribl© death of Hugh Butler, of Bloomington. Butler, in company with Jacob Young and Jeff Raper.of this place—the whole party being drunk—made an attacfc upon a house where a man named Har rison Spear was living on disreputable terms with a woman of ill fame and another woman. The assailants with stones, and other missiles, broke open the doors and windows of the house, to the imminent danger of the lives of the inmates.

Spear fled, terrified, for his life. The assailants followed in hot pursuit, and were joined by Frederick T. Butler, Jr., of Bloomington. They overtook Spear and beat him most horribly, when he drew a bowie-knife and stabbed Hugh Butler in the right side, killing him almost inslantly.

Spear then continued his flight covered all over with blood issuing from wounds they had inflicted on his face with stones and perhaps an axe. He then took refuge in the house of Henry Shook, his nearest neighbor but being driven from there he ran some distance to Worlev's tavern, and ran up stairs and fastened the door. His assailants followed, and attempted to break the door down, but they were dissuaded from that by Mr. Worley, who entered the apartments at another d«or, and found Spear covered with blood, still clutching his bloody knife, and terrified almost to death. He Was easily induced to give himself up, on the assurance that he should not be hurt by his pursuers.

Young and Raper have run away,J Spear was lodged in jail.

It explains itself and if it should nlect the eye of the man to whom the illustrious writer directed it, it may solve a mystery to him. Tho local direction is wanting.

Attack upon Mr. Borland, the American Minister, at San Jnan!

NEW YOB*. May

26.

The stekrtMir Northern Light, from San Jnan, arrived this afternoon. She brings 800 passengers and $1,500,000 in gold dust, on freight and in the hands of passengers.

Among the passengers, are Hon. S. Borland, Minister to Central America, Col. Fremont and Bishop Simpson.

By this steamer, wo have intelligence of a revolution in Nicaragua, under the leadership of seven Castillians, who. came from Honduras with considerable force, and captured Realigo and Cbinnandaga, and marched thence upon Leon,and the capital. The whole county is under arms.

The city of San Salvador was totally dc slroyed by an earthquake, on the night of Easter Sunday. Two hundred lives wuro lost, and over $4,000,000 worth of property destroyed. The shock lasted nearly one nnnute. and in that short space, the whole city was turned into a heap of ruins.

Just be bre the sailing of the Northern Light, an attempt was made to arrest Mr. Borland, the U. S. Minister to Central America, by the authorities of San Jnan. He took refuge at the American Consulate, which was attacked and fired upon by the mob during the night. The next morning lie managed to get qn board the Northern Light, when a meeting was called, and measures taken to protect American citizens and property on the shore. A volunteer company of fifty men from the passengers was organized, under the command of Crawford Fletcher, formerly of Tennessee, who re mained at San Juan, and under whose protection Mr. Tobin, the American Consul places himself. The outrage grew out. of an attempt by the authorities to arrest an American CHptain on the steamer, for murder, and which Mr. Borland resisted, 3&c\

STIL.L, LATER BY THE AMERICA. Official accounts are at hand of the bombardment of Odessa. As surmised, the affair was far from decisive, being more destructive but without result.

The English nccoun's report the attacking force as consisting of the English steamers Sampson. Terrible. Ni^er, Retribution, Furious and the French steamers Magador, Beaubon, Descartes, and Canton also detachments of English rocket boats.

The mode of attack was for the steamers to continue for 12 hours to sail around in a circle of half a mile in diameter, 2000 yards from tho batteries, and each steamer endeavoriug to fire as it passed.

The rocket boats continued to throw 24 lb. rockets, to set the town on fire. The steamers also continued to throw red hot shots.

The Russians fought with extreme bravery, replying to the fire of the ships. Towards night the battery becoming untenable its fire became slower, though regular and at lenghth the shipping in the rear being on fire, it was silenced.

During the action the red hot shot from the steamer Terrible blew up the Russian magazines on the Imperial Mole and silenced a formidable battery.

Three Russian frigates in the harbor took fire and burned to water's edge, also 12 smallers ships and 2 ships of war.

The rockets also set the lower part of tho city on. fire, and it burned for two days. Three of the attacking steamers were disabled. The Beaubon was set on fire, but was extinguished.

The British estimate their loss at less than 20 killed and wounded. Th Russians estimate thens at 20 killed and 60 wounded.

The British Admiral, after the action, sent a circular to the fleet, that he had inflicted retribution on the Russians forfiring 011 a flag of truce.

The Russian account looks as much like the truth as the British. Russia says, that on March 27, the British steamer, Furious, approached Odessa, and two guns, without balls, were fired from the batteries, and the steamer ordered not to approach nearer.

The steamer therefore stopped, and sent a boat ashore with a flag of truce. The boat was allowed to land at the wharf, when it was sent back to the Furious, with the information that the British Consul had left.

The Furious, however, again got up steam, and approached nearer, as if to survey, when the batteries fired seven shots, not on the boat with the flag of truce, but on the advancing frigate, which then left.

On the 2d of April, three of the Allied steamers, came to Odessa to demand an explanation. General Austen Sacken expressed in writing, his surprise that the Allied Admirals should imagine that the Russian shots were fired at the flag of truce explained how affairs were, and of course refused to deliver up the shipping in the harbor, as demanded by the Admirals.

Accordingly the bombardment took place. It was reporled that for the present the Admirals had abandoned their intention of ata in S as to
