Th Dcmcrtle Party

There is a period ja the history of a party, as of everything else, when it matt hare an end. It diet the tame as the human body dies. Preceding its final dissolution it strugglss heroieall y and fights with the grim monster manfallj. It dies bj inches, and clings to life with the tenacity of de spair. The death of a great party is not

the work of a day, of a week, of a month or of a year. It loses its vitality ao grad ually, that it is difficult to tell just when the disease commenced, or when the breath stopped. The infection commences at the extremities, far out at the fingers and toes, and it travels alowly uutil it reachea the head, and then dissolution takes place. More than two years ago the masses in the Democratic party began to complilo of the corrn ptio o a of ih at party. The people becime alarmed at the recklesoeas of the President and the leaders at Washington, and showed aomistakable aigns of dissatisfaction. They denounced their head and spurned the principles sought to be forced upon them. The infection spread through the Democratic party with the rapidity that poison infuses itself through the veins and arteries of the natural body, until at last, final dismemberment took place at Charleston. The great Democratic party went down amid the roar of breakers and the hiss of the whirlwind. The lightning carried the news all over the country and alternate curses and prayers, denuncia tieos and praises followed. The Northern faction are now making ineffectual attempts to rally around the standard of revolt erected by the Little Giant, while the Southern Democrats swear e'erual hostility to him, and sustain the corrupt policy of the Administration. In Indiana the throes of the party are equally painful and ominous of death. The Dem ocratic Governor, wallowing in the most corrupt partisan pool that ever held a for. sahen ainner, backed by the two Democratic U. 8. Senators, is at war with the popular sentiment of their party in this Slate, and the people in their primary assemblies, are denouncing them with a bit terness and a vehemence unparalleled. At this very hour Messrs. Bright and Fitch, the accredited representatives of the De mocrscy in the United States Senate from Indiana, are exerting all their power and all their influence to ih wart the wiah of the mast es of the Democratic party here, while the Democratic Governor lakes issue with his party and defies their censure. Thus the war goes gloriously on in Indiana, while Douglas leada a faction of the once united party, the President leads another and slaveholders anJ slave interests lead the third. Distracted, disrupted and divided ia this party which but a few years ago swept tbt entire country as with the besom of destruction. Its agonies are excruciating and its final death awaits but the meeting of the Baltimore Convention. Ita quietus will there be given to it. Its winding sheets will there be folded closely around it. Its requiem will there be chanted. Its pall-bearers will there be present, and after the adjournment of that Convention, its obituary can be written. m SoiTBxaa Tribute to Ma. Lincoln -The Paris (Ky.) Citizen, a Southern Opposition paper says: "Mr. Lincoln, though a decided Republican a complete exponent of the purposes and spirit of the party, is not the object of those popular prejudices that attach to Mr. Seward, bis strongest competitor for the nomination. He is a man'of ability, not equal to Mr. Seward in culture or in his experience of public affairs, but is considered by many as his equal in natural force of intellect. We heard one of the discussions between him and Douglas in the famous campaign of 1853, and we certainly regarded him aa a full match, at least, for that distinguished politician. There are some things in the personal char acter and career of Mr.Lincoln, which will give great popularity, if they do not excite enthusiasm among the people. Born (of humble parentage, and passing the years of his childhood, youth and early manhood amid the hardship of the backwoods of Keotockj, Indiana and Illinois, acquiring an education by his own labor a aa beat he could and gradually working his way to distinction, his life baa been one well calculated to excite the admiration and sympathy of voters, most of whom are themselves working men. When to this is sdded the purity of bit private life, the general recognition of (which baa given

bim, in his own State, the sobriquet of "Honest Old Abe," we are compelled to admit that the CLicago Convention baa nominated the very hardest man to beat it could possibly have given as. The question now is, "How is this ticket to be beaten ?" We confers that in the divided, distracted and chaotic condition of all other parties, the problem is ex tiemely difficult of solution." Paorxa PaoawxcuTio or Liscols. The nomination of Abraham Lincoln, as the Republican candidate for President, has raised the question of its proper pronunci lion many contending that it should be pronounced according to its literal ortbog raphy Lineollen. All the beat authori ties, however, agree in pronouncing it as they do out West Liaiea. Below we give three leading authorities on the aubject : Link-on Lippiocott'a Gazetteer. Link un Webster's Unabridged. Ling k on Worcester' New Dictionary. In Illinois, where every body claims the privilege of familiarity with "Old Abe," they have somewhat improved on ih above, and speak of the distinguished Sucker aa "Old Aba Lick-em." ET The House of Congress a few daya ago, compelled a fire-eater, Houatou of Al abama, to apologise for disorderly words spoken in debate. The people will be glad to to see this evidence that the House baa determined to protect its members. The lesson which Potter gave Pryor has ended the farce of sending cballengea to mortal combat, when the parties themselves hsve no ides of fighting. The quiet assertion of its dignity by the Hons will as effectually end the disgraceful blackguard sceoes which have become ao common in Congress. O The Journal men are much exercised in regard to the enthusiasm on part of the Republicans. Wait for Douglas, neighbers, ad ke.'p cool. Sie CT Bo ute Agent Laogford has, as usual, placed os ander obligations for pr per favors.

Oemoerettc Taetlca. It is amusing to see the present tone of the Democratic pres. When the first an nouocemeut, that Abraham Lincoln was the nominee of the Chicago Convention, trembled over the telegraphic wire, the Democratic press throughout the county commenced a systematic warfare upon him. It said first, that be voted against the Mexicin war. The Republican pres replied to this and showed that Mr. Lincoln was not a member ol Congress when the Mexican war was voted on. It said secondly, that he voted agaiost giving the soldiers who were engaged in the Mexican war, necessary supplies. In answer to this, the Republican press produced the proof, that on every occasion when supplies were asked for, Mr. Lincoln voted for them. The Democratic press then cbarg ed that Mr. Lincoln had said that the Mexican war was "unnecessary and unjust." In reply to this it was admitted he bad so said, and so bad the great leaders of the Whig party, aod some of the Democratic leaders. Driven from every position and overwhelmed by the conclusive proof against all its charges, the Democratic press has now charged its tactics, ind in sajing that the nomine of the Chicago Convention, aint much of a nominee anyhow. The State Sentinel, one of the most unfair and unscrupulous sheets in the Slate, leads off in this nrw tact thiswise: "The Chicsgo nomioatioa excites no en thusiasm, and it fails to receive the sympathy ol even the conservative aentiiienl of the Republican party. Never In-fore has the Domination of a party, which boasts of numbers sufficient for success fallen ao dead, not only upon the country, but its own orgaoiaation. The feeling is universal that Lincoln and Hamlin have neither the character, qualifications or experience, to be placed at the bead of the nation at what will, probably, be the most important period in ita history one which will thoroughly test the strength and permanency of our political institutions. None entertain this feeling more thorouhly than the sober and honest men in the Republican ranks." And cur neighbor of the Journal, al ways on the alert to assume a new poni tion, follows in the wake of the Sentinel, and has juat diacovered that, "The great efforts of the Republicans to create ecthusiam over the nomination of Lincoln, have proved entirely abortive. The people regard it as a kind of a joke and nothing more. They are well aware of the fact that the leaders who put Lincoln forward, have no

expectation of electing him, and that they only nominated hira because they did not wish to Hacrince their ablest ana best men." Is not thie rather rich t When an enthusiasm in favor of Mr. Lincoln is pre vailing among the people to an extent unparalleled in the political history of this country when the aetion of the Chicago Convention meets with the universal approbation of those opposed to the corrup tion of the Democratic party everywhere, and whe-n bonfirea are blazing on every hill top aod the echoes of Republican can noos are reverberating along every valley when loud, long and enthusiastic huzzas are goieg up from every village aod city from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in honor of Freedom, Li o coin aod Hamlin, the State Sntinel has the effrontery to say that the nomination haa "fallen dead," and the Terra Haute Journal has the audacity to assert that "the people regard the nom nation of Lincoln and Hamlin, as a kind of joke, aod nothing more." The position of those two editors re minds us very forcibly of an unfortunate ndividual who waa about to be drowned during the great flood. As the water came up around bim, he retired from the low ands ta the mountain districts, and as the flood csme on apace and billow after bilow came up the mountain aide, he went step by step farther op until at last he stood upon the very mountain top. The forty days and night s rain however sooa rcachei that point. He then climbed the highest tree and stood upon the highest limb cf that tree. Soon the water came up there also, and had reached his kues, then up to his waist, nxt to his neck and was j'jst begiuniog to run into hi mouth, and in a few moment's more, would err tainly atrangle him. Just at this mo ment of his dreadful calamity, he saw at a distance, slowly approaching him, the Ark of Noah full of active life and all on board in the best of spirits and hating a good time generally. The poor drowning man tallooed at the top of his voice for assistance. He at find endeavored to frighten Father Noah that he might come and take bim, then he begged and im plored him. The water rose, and a slight strangulation enaued. He stretched out hia hands and prayed imploringly, and beeached the old Patriarch to stop the Ark and take him aboard. To all his entreaties, threats aod prayers Father Noah turned a deaf ear. At last the drowning man becoming desperate in his awful conditio and summing up all his strength and courage, cried out at the top of bis Toic "Go to Hl with your old Ark, it aint going fe be mack of shower after alt." Ttst fellow wss drowued iu about ten seconds after he made the last remark. The reader may make the application. Ccmmon Plbas Law Sustaimci. The Statu Sentinel of Thursday, the 7th inst., says: "The Supreme Court yeterday, decided that the Common Pleas law piseed by the Legislature last winter, was legally and constitutionally enacted. A thorough investigation of the legislative record satisfied the Court that the law is valid just aa it atanda. Thia decision will relieve the embarraismeut which has been felt in making nominations for Judges and Prosecuting Attorney, on account of the uncertainty as to its constitutionality." . - Cr The Hock ville Republican aaya : "Col. Thomas U. Nelson, of Terre Haute, made a speech last Saturday at Portland Mills, to the Union Republtcan Club. The attnodance is said to have been large, and the apeech ia apoken of aa one of rare eloquence and power. In fact we have no ned to fear the Republican cause in the bands of such a man aa Tom Nelson. He exhorted all good Republican to harmony, and I the united aupport of the party or ganization." Movi!. The old wooden building on tho corner of Wabash at. aod the alley west of Potter's Hardware atore, is being dig op by workmen, and will he removed to make way for a magnificent building to be erected by our enterprising young friend D.

rp fOIl THE CONFLICT. sr w. h. sraLEieH. Up, again for the conflict ! our banner fling out, And rail; around It with song and with about ! Utoat of heart, firm of hand, should the gallant bon be, Who hear to the battle the Flag of the Free ! Like our fathers, when Liberty called to the strife, Tbey should pledge to herctuse fortune, honor, and life! And fallow wherever sua beckoot tbem on, Till Freedom exults In a victory won ! Thea nine out the banner, the old strry banner. The battle-torn banner that beckons us on I They come from the hillside, they come from the glen From the streets threnged with traffle, and surfing with men; From loom and from ledger, from workshop and farm, ' . The fearless of heart, and the mighty of arm. A the mountain-born torrents exnltinly leap, . As the winds sf the prairie, the waves of tbe sea, They are coming are coming the Sons ef tbe Free t Then fllnf out the bauaer, tbe old starry banner, . Tbe war-ttered banner, tbe Flag of tbe Free I

Our Leader Is one who, with conquerless will, II a cllnib'd from the bsse to the brow of the hill; Undaunted In peril, unwavering in strife, He has fought a good light In tbe Battle of Life; And we trust him as one who, come woo or come weal. Is as firm si the rock, and aa true as the steel, Right loyal and brave, with no slain on hU crest, Then hurrah, boys, for henest "Old Abo of the Weat!" And fling out your banner, the old starry ban ner, The slgual of triumph for "Abe of tbe Went!" Tbe West, whose bread acres, from lake-ehore to sua. Now wait for the harvest and homes of the free ! Shall tbe dark tide of slavery roll o'er the sod. That Freedom makes bleom like the garden of üod I The bread ol war children be torn from tbelr mouth, To feed the fierce dragon that preys on the South? No, never! the trust which our Washington laid On as, for the Future, shall ne'er be betrayed ! Then fling out the banuer, the old starry ban ner. And on to tbe conflict with hearts undismayed! m e The Advantages of Railroads to Suburban Property. Our citizens in the neighborhood of large towns, wherever a new railroad is being located, apare no pains to have it run anywhere rather than over or close to their own premises. Io doing this they very often make a great mistake, and for the sake of keeping their fields iu their original shape, keep them from advancing in value. Let the citizens of Terre-Uaute only took at tbe present growth of the city, and they will see that the improvements are following the several railroads, and this has been the ease elsewhere, and cities have grown out on the great thoroughfares which have brought them their business. The recent inventions in railroad machinery are 'still increasing this tendency. Street railroads which can not be supported in small cities have their places supplied, to a considerable extent, by the larger line of road which run through them, and draw the improvements out onto tbem. The combining locomotives and cars for running in short trains in aod out of the cities on our main lines of railroad, at a very tri fl tog expense, will soon give our citizens living a few miles out of Terrre Haute, the advantages of frequent trains and cheap fares, and so give the residents on the im mediate line of the roads, great advantages over all others, and so create a demand for lands and homesteads on tbt roads which will raise the market value of such property very fast. O The Democracy of the First Coogres sional District, of Indiana, met in Convention, at Princeton, on tbe 30th ult., for the purpose of ooroiotting a candidate for Congress. There was an xciting triangular contest for the nomination, between Hon. W. E. Nitlack, Hon. John Law, and Hon) Smith Miller, and all parts of the District were fully represented. On the 14th bal lot, Judge Law, having received a majority of the whole Convention, waa declared the candidate of the party, by a unanimous vote. They passed resolutions, no vole being cast against them, recommending their delegates to Baltimore, to drop Judge Douglas, for whom tbey voted 57 times at Charleston, and to aupport Hon. J. A. Wright, of Indiana, for President, or to go for any "compromise man," who ia devo ted to the principle of the Democratic party. We give the resolutions, unanimously adopted : Resolved, That ioasmoch as the great battle of I860 is to bo fought upon the old doctrine of principles not ruen, werecommend to our delfgates at Baltimore, that in the event that their first choice, w horn soever he may be, should fail to harmonize the feelings of the National Democratic Convention, they east the vote of Indiana for any compromise man who is devoted to the principles of the Democratic party. Resolved, That we recognize in Joseph A. Wright Indiana's favorite son a man around whom all the disaffected elements would concentrate, who lives in tho hearts of tbe who I people, and whose name would be a tower of strength in tbe West aud North-west, and at the same time create a degree of enthusiasm in the South, which would be a sure prestige of success. Resolved That the delegates from this District to the Baltimore Convention be re quested to cast their votes aai influence at the approaching Baltimore Convention for Joseph A. Wright, as the Democratic candidate for President, whenever 'hey find it expedient and proper to change their vote trora Judge Douglaa. - O The Augusta, Oa., Chrouicle A Sen tinel says, that "the Chicago ticket is con

fessedly a very strong one, and Lincoln, a rough specimen of the Western lloosier,

will sweep the Northwest like a herd o wild buffalo on the prairie. Against

comers we consider him certain of Ohio,

Michigsn, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa chusetts and New York 108 votes." The battle-field, our Southern co tempo rary thinks, will be Pennsylvania and
