We puMih in ariotl. r eidurun the act of our lt Iejstature, in relition to cal'itigA Convention to alter, amrnd or revise the Conttitu tioo of this State. There is nothing of more Tita! importance to the people of Indiana than the question contained in this law. Shall the Constitution of thi State be nvied,is crlaiblv a matter of the rM,''i importance, and tet there it the least possible interest felt in re gird to it. That oar Constitution is a atunib tlir.j; blvH'k to the advancement of the people all adtuit.but that it my be made bo'uUly worse by-teinsf p!s:cd in the hinds of uh m-ii, as in all probability will compose the Convention, every one eems to fosr. S ure the Democratic party has been the dominant party in this State, inexperienced aril weak men have crawled iit. power, and the most unlearned and ignorant are arubitioui of pro motion. Under the old Conaii'.liou the peo pie prospered, yet tbere were some clause io it, the tiiiiea demar.dovl should be altered or amended. A Convention was ca!!-d, and the whole instrument was blotted out of existence and the present new one substituted. l!ow detrimental has this ten to our prosperity, let the last few years cf legislation and judicial decisions answer.- The great privilege of a free people, that cf educating their otT-prn;;, is DjeuiaMy destraj d.

The lews froiu Sillivtti count by last eve mnp trin, is. that the Hon. John W. Daria died at hia residence in Carlisle, Sullivan at 8 o'clock. Iii riiuui t , .-j s ,lieae was flux, of which ht had teen ufferjP(. f4,r eferal day. ilr. Iais is well known tLrougliout tbe entire eountry. Eor n.any year te haa been prominently U fore the public. He has repre sr ntcd the county of Sullivan often in the Slate Legislature has represented thin District in Congress and presided over tie House of Et preventative ivh distinguished ability, as its Sp. akrr. He utsbeeo Amerkan Miniater to China, and under the Administration of Mr. Tierce, was appointed Governor of the Territory of Oregon. In all thoae position of prominrnre and responsibility, he alwaya discharged the several dutiea with honor to himaclf ar.tl credit to his country. He au warm hearted affable jjentleman reverenced by his family, beloved by hia friends and repectcd by all who knew him. We hope that aor.ie one, familiar with the incident of hi life, will give to the public an outline of what he was. LZ The following is one plai.k im the platform, recently pasaed by the Lecomptonites of ibis ci'y. 5. Rnoliti, 7hs.t a citix;n of the United State-, whether native or foreign born, is en titled to the protection of this Government, under all circumstances, whether at home or abroad; and that, as Democrat, we deny the riht of anj foreign power to et aside the natural or acquired rigbta aud privilege of an Americau citizen. The following i the opinion ol Mr. Secretary Cas on that subject. letter to IjtClerc, dated Afsty 17, "I have to state that it i understood that thn French government claim military r vice from all native of France who may be found ithin its jurisdiction. Your naturali z.ition in thia country will not exempt yo ram thut claim thould y4 voluntarily repiir tk'ther." "L. CASS." Whether our forn'n population will believe that Mr. Cas, or the Vigo County Democracy, express the doctrine of the parly on this aubjeet, we are net informed, but of course the Lecomptouites here will over fcbadowj tLe opinions cf the power at Washington. I Gen. Cass, or Col. Cekerly,tbe mouth piece for the Dtuiocrac)? that the question. .. IT The Washington correnpondent of the Philadelphia Vf, in recounting the rial of the democarcy io it presert distracted con dition says, upon distinct information, that orders hive teen issued to the office holders of th" different State to use every name in er ery locality that can be used for the purpose of injuring Jude Dour;' as. While the demo cratic people ee In Stephen A. Douglas the only sign by which they can conquer in 1660, the Administration are resolved, t ilh the power still remaining in their hands, to cover thi democracy with defeat, rather than that vrctovy should be secured by Stephen A. Douglas. Hence, the largest liberty is exten ltd to the office holders, to divide and destroy the democratin party. They are author izeJ to seize upon any candidate but Douglas. If they find the name of Seymour useful for New York, then they are directed to ue it if Guthrie, then Guthrie if Dreckenridge.then llrccketiridgc and in Indiana, the name of General Jo Lane is to be held upas a rallying point. And a new series of candidate will also be improvised, and, in order to make confusion worse confounded, the troops of the Administration party in Illinois aro com lusndtd to doullr $rt the Illinois delegation to the Charleston Convention, going a that delepai ion w ill certaiuly go, plsdged to ilr. Douglas. . s - IT The X. Y. ExrrMdraw a picture of the happy Democratic family, which i wortl copying. It says the Democracy continue to fight like cats and dog over that Wis letter to Mr. Bernard Donnelly, of W illiara atrett.N Y., and auch a tcratfhing out of eyes, an such a throwing of tavod right and left, proba bly was never een among the 'Harmonious" before outside of Tammany Hall on the night of a primary election. Where irt end of it all Is to be, nobody can tell. The wars of the Koes,orthe sqjabble of the Capulrts and Montagwos, were as nothing to thi tight be tren iLs) Albany Kcgeucy aud the House of KicLtrond! Every day it waxes Loiter, and as it grow warmer it grown more peppery and personal. The party generally i dividing on the question, and the Coltotts of the respective bell gereots are coming Into the ring, bslallion after bstalhcn. Even Mr. Duchantiaa' prio cipal organ, the Washington Constitution, cannot resin the Wmptatioo to "pitch io."

Wright, who is running for Congress in the eighth district of Georgia, on ultra-Southern principles, accepting his nomi nation, i well put : "I think, gentleaien, your Convention acted wisely iu ignoring thoe political tm.ntrap, yclept "platform." The people have Immi so often deceived and deluded by the promises he'd out to thero in these paper "shuffle board," that they have come t look with suspicion and distrust upon all who advocate them. They are gene ally fair In look upon, but, like "Dead Sea fruit, they turn to ahes upon the lips." Take, if you please, that great piece of mster carpentry, constructed at Cincinnati in 156, by the great master builder of modern Democracy, with timber furnished and brought from the different sections of the Union the South furnished palmetto, cot ton and slaver) the North, oak, commerce and abolitionism the East, pine, manufactures and free soil the West, ash, internal improve menls and squatter sovereignty the Atlantic and middle States, potdar, free trade and nonintervention. All dote tailed harmoniously together, and to the rascal observer ihe masses ofthe people fxceelingly fair to look upon ; but within il is a "whited sepulchre, filled with dead men's bone " The filling of the seam in t.e structure iodicales the master talent. The "internal improvement!' opening is filled with the 'racific railroad.' I he "squatter sovereignty" joining i made smooth by "nan inlerteuiion." The "slatery plank" is cotered with "Cua." The "fre-soil" se.ro i covered with "unfriendly Iegilation, wbil the " Abolition" panel is garr ished with "isothermal lines." 1 bus, all uniting in one harmonious and symmetrical structure, well calculated to catch th popular gx, and cheat a nation of freemen out of ibiir dearest rights." ———<>——— A HORSE THIEF SHOT IN ILLINOIS.—The Sheriff of Woodford Co., Illinois, and a Mr. Miller of Decatur, were pursuing two horse thieves whom they overtook a few miles North of Bloomington in McLean county, on Friday last. They rode towards the men until quite near them, when suddenly they drew each a revolver and covering his man seperated [sic] to take out across the prairie. The Sheriff followed one, Miller took the other, and the former pressed his fugitive so closely that the 1atter turned and made some movement as if to fire, when the Sheriff suddenly fired his own pistol, and shot the man through the breast.— He instantly fell dead from that saddle without a word, the ball having passed through his heart. The other man, seeing the fate of his comrade, gave himself up quietly. Both the living and the dead horse thieves were taken to Bloomington on Friday night. ———<>——— ——>The City Council of Cleveland, Ohio have contracted for he erection of a monomerit to Commodore Terry in their Park, and the work ha been placed io the hand tj Mr. War.

In ihe House of Lords the Marquis of Normandy enquired if there was anr objections to produce th paper relative to the project- of pace transmitted to Austria before the treaty of Villa Franca. He denounced the conduct t the Government as one aided and evincing no desire to maintain neutrality. Lord Wood Hou-e, in reply reiterated the statement that England sent terms of peace to Austria at the r quest of France, tut without giving auy advice or expressing an opinion ou the subject. He aaid that it would he most inconvenient to produce the document in the present state of the negotiations. Earl Granville arkuonledged the act of Lord John Jtu&tl, a the united act ol the Cabinet. In the House cf Commons Lord Eicha moted an ad Ire to the Queen, Matit g '.hat it would be inconsistent with the honor and dignity of England, after having preserved a strict neutrality, to take part in any conference for settling the details of peace, the pre liminaries of which have already beeu ar ranoed belweeu the Emperors tf France and Austria. Lord Eicha praied the neutral course of the late government, and censured the auti Austriau felling evinced by the present Cabinet. Mr. Kinglake mottd the previous question, feeling that it would be unwise to bind the government to any line of policy regardless of changes a hich might take place any hour. Mr. Gladstone said the elector motion was not relevant to ihe position of affair, and the government had no intention of taking part in the setilmg lh detail of peace Hi the ba sis of the ilia rranca treaty. The belligerents themselves wanted to set tie tho-e and what would lemain to be settled would be the great question of European m1icy, iu w Inch he thought England should play her traditional part.

Sid uey Herbert argued thut the neu trality expired with the war, aud could Dot conis.Uut ly join in a Congress. Win. HorMuan and Mr. Whiteside spoke in favor of the resolution, and e'enouueed the foreign policy of the tiovernmeut. Lord Johu Uusitll aUo proclaimed that the Gotei nmenl had uol the slightest inclination to Mtt'e the details ol the peace of Villa Fran ca. Xobody ever wanted theiu to do m. He admitted that there were difficulties in the way ol the Government entering in the Cotirea. ad matters were in that state that no determinrtiou had been come to. He ap pealed to the house to leave t lie question in the hands of the Minister, who would decrile what the whole facts of the casu wire befoie ihetn. Mr. D'istaeli warned the Government of the danger to be incurred by entering the Congress, but stated hi objection to the lloue coming to a decision alt r a hasty deliberation, and hoped that Lord E.cha would not press his motion to a division. Alter some remhrks by Lord Talmcrston, in defence of his courne, aud in denunciation of the resolution, Lord Eicha said he was stis tied with the expdanatiiu made by the Govern men', and the result of the debates. He would uol press his motion. 1 ii the House of Lords on the Sib, the sub ect of ilk national defences w as relerred to Lord Lonsdrotie Cotiietied that the army and nauy would never be on a satisfactory footing till the governmeul had Ihe power of compul ory service. . . The Earl of Itesson thought it would be most injurious to resort to compulsory power, and pledged every effort of the government to make the defence se-cure.
