National Convention*

The Democratic National Convention has adjourned, and

SIB

the result of its labors have

given to the Democratic party as the exponents of thoir faith, JAMES BUCHANAN and JOHN C. BBEOXENBJDOE. HOW well these two champions will bear their standard aloft, time alone can determine. They arc both men of abilty, and as individuals, of sliaracter and reputation. Wo have no fault now to find with either of them as men, but their political antecedents, and the pledges they have taken for futuro action, are subjects that we, from time to time, will place before the cyo of our readers. As an American citizen^ there is one thing connected with the result of this Convention, that is peculiarly gratifying to us.— While wo look forward with a fond hope, that the line of policy adopt'd by this Convention will be triumphantly, and forever strangled, atill we feel glad, that it had within itself, virtue enough to refuse to give its nomination to that arch demagogue, Stephen A- Douglas, or that imbecile Executive, Franklin Pierce.— Even in tbe most depraved criminals, it is said ihrrn is nlwnv® li-ft rpark of virtno'ts im »I «•. nnd when properly touched into action, it will, in the course of time, purify the whole mass. May we not hope that tHe nomination of BUCHASAN and

BAKCKKNAMOE

What then is tho duty of the conservative men, the Anti Nebraska men, and tho men who are opposed to tho presdut Democratic platform of principles? If success in a political point of view, is a thing to be coveted, jheti a union, for tho sako of our common eouutry, should certaiuly bo effected. A union upon principle—aunion by which ultraism nud conservatism can unite, in order that an administration maybe created, embracing in itself a full and complete representative of American soiitimont and Americian feeling.

Mr. Buchanan, standing upon tHe Cincinnati platform, comes before tho electors as eridorsing tho ropeal of the Missouri Com proinisu, iu favor ofSlavery going North, and piviug counteuaucc to the border ruffianism that is cursing our Westorn frontier, and dis gracing the halls of our National Legislature. Mr. Brvckenridge, is recognised as a brilliant exponent of Young America, and sympathising largely with all '..he doctrines that have for some years passed, been promulgated by the Little Giant. He is evidently pro Slavery iu all his feelings, and a warm advocate of the peculiar institution.

With such men, and such measures tfn one aide, how will the great mass of the American people vote, is the question that naturally suggests its.-If to the mind. The North with her teeming millions oppose the policy that repealed the Compromise of 1820—she is determined to resist by all consistent and constitutional means, tho advance of slavery over territory now free, and the best of nwu even in Slave State*.adhcrt? to thisdoctrine. We think we haaard but liul® In saying, that as a representative of the opinions thus entertained by tho North, and a large portion of the South, no man stands fairer than Mtt,nsn FILUIORC.

is the begin

ning of a political purification, which, in the course of years, may exert a regenerating inilncnce upon the entire Democratic party.

We regard this ticket as perhaps the strong-

succeed against it, will requne a continued effort on the part of the opposition. The factions of that opposition must come together— the Americans and Republicans must meet on common ground. If Mr. Fillmore's views meet the Anti-Nebraska* views of the conservative North, thou by receiving the endorsement of the Philadelphia Convention, he can enter (his campaigu, under more favorable circumstances than any other man. If, however, the Philadelphia Convention is deterin nod to give its nomination to an ultra man, irrespective of any prudential considerations —if they arc resolved to assume sectional grounds, at tho sacrifice of policy and right, then, in our judgenicut, the success of the democratic ticket is as certain as that two aud two make four.

PEOPLE'S COUTfTY COHVKfl TICS': Saturday, the^lst dayof^ tfn month ba^ been agreed upon, as the proper time for holding tbe

County Convention 4n this

^county, for the purpose of selecting delegate* to attendee Congressional District Q&nvent»3B, to be Mid in this city ia the26th in and to do such other business as may at that time, be deemed advisable. It is to be hoped there will be a general coming together of the masses on that occasion. The times demand, an earnest effort on part of the natioual men of all section*,*ir» order thai the wild spirit of ruffianism which is now disgracing the institutions of this country, be checked. The tiroes demand that the sovereign people of this country, BoaicOfceir free institutions from the hands of designing and corrupt demagogues, and control them themselves. Misrule, corroption and outrage, characterize the powers that control at the nation's capitol.—

Political aspirants have turned the National Legislature into an arena, where the best interests of the general government issacrificed, in a warfare for spoils and place/1®

While affairs of the general government are in this deplorable condition, a band of train ed partisans are eudeavoring to get the control of all the departments of our State government, for the purpose of enriching themselves out of Xhe treasury of the people. It is time, then, the people should awake, and with one noble, glorious effort, bring back all the institutions of this State, and of this Government to the purity which characterized them, when we, aa their children, received them from their hinds.

Remember then, SATITBDAY, the 21st inst., and let each township in the county be well represented. Let all come up to this city, and lend their assistance, in banishing old lineism from our beloved State.

The Asiaitlnatlon of Jon©*. The reported assassination of Jones, the pro-slavery Sheriff, over which the old line press in the North has wept so many tears, turns out to be a great humbug—a cunningly devised sham, gotten up for the purpose of stimulating the border ruffians to deeds of vio lence. It will be remembered that Jones'con ditiou, after tbe shooting, was known only to his fellow ruffians—that according to their as sertions, "a ball passed through his spine, puraly zing his lower limbs, tfc. He was, proceeds the account, carried to a private room in the Hotel, put under the care of Dr. Stringfellow, brother of the notorious Gen. Stringfellow, and we learn of his condition only through the buletias of the veracious brother of the border ruffian mob. Tbe accounts, at first,are discouraging. "Jones is shot through the spine —his lower extremeties are paralyzed—he is not expected to recover." Soou, however, our fears are relieved. "Jones is some better—he is able to turn himself in bed—he may possibly recover." A short interval of silence occurs, and we next hear of Jones, apparently in full enjoyment of the use of his limbs, and actively engaged in directing the posse against Lawence.

This wonderful surgery is quito equal to the performance of the mesmerizor, who is said, by a few well directed passes, to have caused a new limb to sprout out from the stump, in the case of an unfortunate individual, .one of whose neither extremities had been accidentally lopped off. We presume that no professor of surgery out of Kansas has ever beioro restored a orotcen spine, and in few days set the sufferer upon his legs, enable him to mount his mule aud lead a mob in an incendiary and murderous attack. It is clearlj' evident that the whole thing was a most villainous humbug.

TKBRE HAUTK, June 7,1850.

SIR—I find in the Courier of to-day,'extract-ed from the Lafayette Courier, the following statement: "J. Bright knockcil down the Doorkeeper of the Senate, and the act is applauded by the entire old line party."

It is unjust to Mr. Bright that this story should have further circulation. There is not one word Of tmth about it. When it first ap pearod, it ttas said that the person assaulter Was the "Doorkeeper of tbe House," That gentleman immediately gave it a public contradiction, by stating that nothing of the kind had ever occured. It is now said to have been the "Doorkeeper of tbe Senate"—but I personally know that, up to tho time of my departure from Washington about a week ago, the most amicable relations existed between Mr. Bright and that gentleman. And I also know, by as satisfactory cvideuce as I can know any thing that does not pass under my observation, that nothing has occurred between either of these persons and Mr. Bright, that furnishes the slightest foundation for this statement.

As the personal friend of Mr. Bright therefore, 1 ask the insertion of this letter in the "Exprtsi," inasmuch as the Charier will ndt appear again before Saturday next.

Very Respectfully, Ac., R. W THOMPSON. R. N. HUDSON, Esq.

Or are they enclosed in icy walls, that shall thicken around them with wondrous architecture, whitening in the snow storm, and Sashing iu the sun, a magnificent sarcophagus, that will wander with them from latitude to latitude, and open its crystal floor at last, to let them drop,amid pearls, and eoral, and rain bow tapestry, in some chamber of the tkep?

You are all right! You are becoming candid.—JourmI. Jf?'* We haveiSlways tmnight that it Wiethe du iy of public journalists to place before tbeir reader* a correct view of the opinions of men, and a truthful exposition of the ijolitical condition of tlteconntry. In our intercourse with the editors ot the State, whether Old Line, Republicans or Americana, we have never fonnd any one so lost to all the characteristics of honorable men as to be guilty of publishing #ucb a garbled extract as the above, taken from the Journal of yesterday. It was to be hoped that after gray hairs had begun to silver the temples of Col. Cookerly, he would for his own credit, refuse, for a time, to resort to the lowest siucks of demagogueism—lay aside the most contemptible triek of the confirmed political pettifogger, and by one Herculian effort, spring up to honorable manhood. That hope, however pleasing it may have been, has vanished, and contempt, although it maj have thfl power of descending can never, with its giaui firms, reach him.' We hazard nothing in the assertion, that there are no other editors in the State, no difference how depraved they may be, who could be.mean enough, false enough, insignificant enough but the ninnies who presume to edit the Journal, to publish the above extract, as containing a sentiment ever found in the Wabash Express, The debater who wonld so garble the statements of his oppouent, would be hissed from the rostrum—the pot-house politician, kicked from the saloon—the bawling partisan scouted by the crowd, and none but the inmate and associate of the lowest doggeries, would be sustained in such a course, by their boon companions. *v""

After those Very mild remarks, We "will tow place before the intelligent readers, what it was we said, from which the above extract is taken.

In the Daily Express of June 7th, where we were speaking of the democratic nominee, apears the following period: "If a misfortune, equal to the success of the Democratic party, should befall this country, we kuow of no man we would sooner see in the Presidential Chair, than the presout nominee of the Cincinnati Convention."

Does the reader see how this period has been cut in two, in order that it mi^ht be tortured into the expression of a sentiment, that never for one moment, found a lodgment in our brain but could be brought to subserve the corrupt ends of Cookerly Co. Read HOW what the Journal attributes to the Express, and then read the whole of the period as it did appear iu this paper. Read it, and then say if such men are not a disgrace to the whole editorial corps, and totally and altogether and entirely unworthy of auy creditor belief. No wonder the riuk and file of the old line party, are so blind to tho true condition of the political affairs of this country, when they suffer such falsifiers of truth to be the lights to which they look for information.— No wonder, the most absurd notions that ever crazed a man's brain, are often found in the possession of a modern democrat, when we consider for a moment, that he is tho weekly reader of the Terre-Haute Journal. It does not aurpriso.us, that the editors of the Journal should be cuiltv of this most contemoible resort to deceive its readers, for the course of that paper, for the last few months, justified us in expecting as much, but indetyl we are surprised, that the honest, intelligent men of the old line party do not have at the head of their press in this Congressional District, men who would scorn to be guilty of such an act.

Abolition Democracy,

The abolition convention, as will be seen by our report, nominated Gerrit Smith, and Samuel McFarland, for President and Vice President, at Syracuse, on the 4th of June, Inst.— Long Island Star.

We supposo then, around this nomination will cluster all the abolitionists of the country. Those who have but one idea, and that a very dark one, will support Gerrit Smith and Sani, McFarland, Why this is done, or whatgood can be hoped to como out of it, we are at a loss to define. There is, however, no political affinity with an abolitionist and the "rest of mankind." They must rule or ruin. National rights, without the least reference to society as it is, and the world as it always has been, is their continued and every day hobby.

We cannot help feeling gratified that there is now afforded a peg, upon which the abolitionists, in one conglomerated mass, can hang. We are glad they have selected a road that no one else wishes to travel, and a leader none others have a desire to follow. Julian, and those who act with him in this Slate, can now look to Oerit Smith, as the exponent of their peculiar view.s. They can now hug to their throbbing hearts, tho greasy."Sambo.s" in all the land, and have almost a positive certainty, that the scent of the "rose" will linger there ever afterwards.

We feel rejoiced we 6ay, that the small fraction of electors who compose the abolition par tjf id the North, have resolved to band together and vote theif peculiar doctrines. If they can succeed ill Carrying with them, all those democratic abolitionists who stood firm upon their platform in 1649, then we would be bet ter pleased, foftfe arc much In favor of "birds of a feather flocking together."

Removal of the Scat of Government. By the reading of the journal of Saturday, the 7th, it appears that Mr. Edwards had given notice of an intention to introduce & bill for the removal of the Seat of Government from Washington to some point in Ohio, ttft&in five .. f-. ?k miles of Cincinnati.

Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved to strike out the notice, contending that it could not then appear, as there was no quorum present on that day. On the question ninety-two members only voted—so quorum. Thereupon O., Hoom ^j

We don't know but that such a move might result in good—in changing the whole face of our ttjrbolent political affairs. At least we would not object very strongly to see the expe riroent tried but would rather see it located oa our beautiful Fort Harrison Prairie, five miles North of Terre-Haute.

IT The Madison Banner of the 4th inst., says: "The steamer Anawan, from TemHaute bound for Cincinnati, struck a rock at Blaik's Cnt-off, in the Wabash river on Towsda mod annk ia four feet water. The Anawan is owned in Wheeling."

S3" Th« Indiana State Journal of t&e 6tb iast., aaya, **a private Wtter wbkh we «aw yeaterday, from Peteraboif, .V'a., state* that five hundred tsen are about leaving thai place and vicioity for Easaas, deUrtsin«d, if possible, io aak« that territory a slave Ssate."

"Tbe Drouth—The Crops. From all tli^auiheotijp, information gte can gather, in rclat|an to die prjgcnt crops, tbe prospectfrJndeed, look rglp§r glooiiy. We have made a good deal of Inquiry concerning the whed& in airfare informed that, in many pluses, the farnifer will not get as much as he sowed aml that the oats are entirely ruined—no rain could make itvv®rtl» cutting. The timothy is completely worthless a good rain now might give a small fall crop, but that would not supply the demand. ItTcousequence of this, last year's hay is advancing very fast, in price., TT

The froston the last of May has materially damaged the corn in this section—some fields will not be worked, and no replanting will be undertaken, as the scasou is so far advanced that it could not come to perfection. Altogether this is sad news. We have had but one good rain since the Saturday before Christmas—the little showers between those periods were soon forgotten.

Below we give all the information on this subject that we have been able to procure,, from differeut portions of theUnion:

From the reports of tbe Tennessee papers we fear the wheat crop, in many places, is destined to turn out badly. The fly has made its appearance in several portions and many wheat-fields have suffered seriously. The judications are that the damage by the fly, is pretty general throughout lower East Tennessee.

Jfcr. Davis^ of Roane couuty, Tenn., ^.rites

as follows: The wheat crop, as far as I have seen it, seems destined to destruction by the Hessian fly. I have examined the bunches in several fields and found from one to forty eggs attach ed to the stalks. a» V*

The Maryville East Tcnncsscan week, says:

of last

From some of dtft farming friends we lenrn that great fears are entertained that tbev will not make a half crop of wheat, on account of the fly. It looked quite promising until within a few weeks, and now some of the farmers are willing to sell their crop for the seed*

The last Athens Post, Tennessee, says the wheat has been injured by tho fly in that re giou.

Perfonsfrom upper East Tennessee iuform us that the fly has not been noticed in that section,and the wheat is quite promising. [Knoxville Register

The Louisville papers state that the country in that section is suffering greatly from the protracted and almost unprecedented drouth. The ground has been thoroughly wet only once since last Christmas, and un less there is rain soon, there will be a laineutable deficiency in the crops.

The Jackson, Tenn., Whig says the wheat crop in that section, after all the complaints made early in the 6pring will turn out very

well—a

fair crop may be anticipated.

The Cincinnati Commercial of last week, says the frosts of last Friday and Saturday morning seem to have extended over a very

large

section of country, doing considerable damage. The Covington, Ind., Friend learns that nearly the entire wheat crop iu that region has been totally destroyed by the frosts of-last week. It says in the southern aud south eastern parts of tint couuty, the frosts seem to havo dono njore damage thai) in other parts Tbe corn in most instances was cut down to the ground, rendering replanting ill many cases absolutely necessary.

1 lie wauisoii .uituner boya all Llic ceierii waters are rapidly receeding towards the sum mer stage. Present appearances indicate coming season of difficult navigation. At Pittsburg there is l^ss than four feet water.

At the mouth of the Kauawha there is six feet, and from Madison to Louisville about eight feet. A private dispatch from Louisville, reports three aud half feet in the steamboat pass on tho falls. Below that point there is abundant water for the largest class of boats. A despatch from Cairo reports the river fallin at that point, and at all points above as far as heard from.

An Abolitionist.

The following letter was written by Jostru E. MCDO.VALD, the present candidate for Attorney General, on the old line ticket. At the date of this letter, the sentiments contain ed therein wore genuine democracy. It was the doctrine advocated by their orators, and by their press, and as McDonald was then a member in Congress, from the Crawfordsville district, he served one term in the House up^ on a platform as indicated in this letter.

What a change has come over this old line party, upon this subject in the last few years, is kuowu to every one. He who would now advocate the principles contained in this letter, would be brauded by the old lino press throughout the entire country, as an Abolitionist! Every little demogogue in the State, would conclude that this was proof conclusive upon that point, and every full grown one would puff himself up to an unnatural size, in blowingo2 putrid gas on this all prolific subject.

Read the letter and see who were the abolitionists in 1849:

Trumbull replied that the thing was cover ed up by the Cincinnati Convention very much as it was in the Nebraska bill. Tho language was ambiguous, and eacli section understood it 1.0 suit its own vii-ws.

Further debate took place between Douglas and Trumbull upon the merits of the Nebraska bill, whe Trumbull's bill was referred to the Committee on Territories.

Foote addressed the Senate on a bill amendatory to that to promote the efficiency of the Navy. He thought that error* had been com milted, and that injustice inflicted on Lbe officers was indisputable, and he would support such a measure as would most effectually ac coinplish a correction. He argued in support of the post on that the President had no power to dismiss any commissioned officer of the army or navy, except in his executive ipaci-

so far from acknowledging the principles of the Nebraska bill, he did not belie* tberu was any principle in it. It was understood one way at the North and anoth er way at the South, but he would admit this bill was such a proposition as he should prefer. 11© regarded the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as the cause of all the mischief, and would be glad to restore tilings to their former position, but this was a temporaiy expedient, notinteud* ed to carry cul his own wishes fully.

Douglas said he was as anxious as his colleague to have peace and quietuess lo Kansas, and was also willing to yield something, but he would yield what some people iu Kansas reiused to—implicit obedience to the laws of the land. If everybody would do this tl.vro would be no difficulty in Kansa*. or anywhere else, but ifinsteud of compelling the rioters and rebels to submit to the laws they were to be placed under the laws of another territory, the effect would be Lo extend th« strife ami turmoil to Nebraska. Likewise he was unwilling to inflict upon Nebraska the curses ot' strife at.d mob violence that exists iu Kansas. The pcojr'e of Nebraska have obeyed the law and they have peace. Iu Kansas the law has been trampled under foot and there was strife. Abolitionists an 1 Emigrant Aid Societies had uot interfered in Nebraska to pervert the terms and meaning ot the law of Congress, and the very fact that both territories were created under one act, and that in one there was peace and quietness, and in the oilier strife and controversy, shows the fault is not in tho law. It is in foreign interence. Strife and violence wire the fruit of that interference, but there had been no interference in Nebraska, and harmony were the natural consequences. If his colleague thought the Nebraska bill was understood differently in the North and the South lie had better road the proceedings of the Democratic National Convention. lie would find the principles of the Democratic party proclaimed North, liast, South and West. very where alike proclaimed by unanimous vote, livery State in the Union was all true.
