Douglas County Courentlou.

Tbe Douglas wing of the Democracy held their county Convention in this city last Saturday. It opened with a fight between Mr. Cornwell, Federal Post Master, and O F. Cookerly, EdiUr of the Journal. Differences of opinion bating arisen between those two representatives of the two wing of the Democracy, our cotetupomry told the P. M., that he said, that which was false, and the P. M., threw an inkstand with such precession and force, that, com ing io contact with Mr Cookerly's head, a ghastly wound was made, which required immediate medical assistance. Indeed Mr, C. was too much hurt to participate furth er io the deliberations of the couvcDtion After this passage at arms, the conrcnlion took a recess for a few hours breath ing spell, and when it again opened, after much jaring and discord, trickery and counter trickery playing false and play ing shy the following ticket was the re ult of its labors. For Treasurer Patrick Shannon; Sheriff J. M. Tolbert; Reprc?en tatives Wra, K. McLean and John Chesnutt; Clerk of C. C, Jos. Dlake; Wro, P. Aeer for Coroner, and Robt. Allen for couuty Surveyor. It is only necessary to take a glance at this ticket to si e how easily it can be lea ten. There is not one stone man on it. and all the Republicans have to do, is to go to work, and we can roll up a majority against this ticket, equal to those secured in good old limes, when Vigo county gave six and eight hundred against the Dtmo cratic party, The 'irrepressiable conflict," was plaj BtT apparent throughout the entire pro ceed in;;?. A substantial Democrats from the coun ty, on leaviug the Contention on last Sat urday, paid: "I hare always voted the Democratic tcket, but I here, now ssy, I ill never do to again." Another standing by declared "them" to be bin f.ertimtnl, and all that he asked was forgivnei for haviiig ever ntd with a party o corrupt. Thus roll on the ball. Xrgre I:iiimII The DekalbCounty Sei lind, of June 21, 1 SCO, published at Sycamore, Illiuoi, and edited by E. L. Mayo and John Norris. carries the following ticket for President at its bead : "FOa PRESIDENT, ISGO, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.' And then it has the following article in favor of Netro Equality : "Our education has been such that we have ever tfpn in favor of the equality of the Black ; that in, that they should erjoy all the privileges of the whites where they reside. We are awnre that this is not a Very popular doctrine. We have bad many a confab with some who are now otrong Republican we taking the strocg "round of equality and they the opposite ground . "We wen; brought ut- in a Sratewhire the Hack uere roter, and we fl not know any inconvenience resulting from it ; tl,o perhaps it would not uork i well where the blacks are more numerous. W have no doubt of the rii;ht of the whites to guard aainl such an evil, if it is one. Our opinion is, that it would be bent for all concer ned, to have the colored population in a Slate to themselves ; but it within the jurisdiction f the Urile I States, we say, by all means, they hould have lh riht to have their Senators and Representatives in Congre, and to vote for President. With us, 'worth uiakc tho man, and the want of it the fellow ' We have seen many a i. igger' that thought more of than some vhite men." Now, there, with what kind of a grace does the charge of neyro equality come from the supporters of Mr. Douglas ? If it be a sin to be branded as infamous, then, here is a Douglas organ avowing it. Let the miserable demagogue of tkal partyhereafter l k at homo, and when they wih to lebuke Negro Equality doctrines, i .... a a, iltuir itii'ii I. wi cell. 1l tuiltiiirnic in tniii "'M uvuuviu The Cane Staled. In December, 185?, in a speech at New ; Orleans, , I udge Douglas from the scene of his content in Illinois spoke as follows: ; ' I . in common with the Democracy of Illinois accept the decision of tho Supreme : Court of the United States, in the Dred ! Scott case, s an authoritative exposition I of the Constitution. Whatever limitations ' the Constitution, as expounded by the Courts, imposes on the authority of a Teri ritorial Legilture, wr cheerfully rcgI n'Zf and respect in coi.formit) with I hat : decision. Slaves are reconiztd us proi perly, and placed on an quäl fotiig ! with all other property. Hence, the ownj er of slaves tbe same an ih owner of any other species of property has a right to j remove to a Territory and carry his pro- ; perty with him " ! In the 19th vol. J Howard's Reports, J page 335, it is slated that the Supreme I Curt of the United Slates decided iu the I Creil Scott cnte as fnKow: j " Every citizen has a right to take with j him into the Territory any article of pro I perty which the Constitution of the Uni ted States recognizes as property." " The Constitution of ihe United Slate-rec.-tfinr.es slaves as properly, and pledge the f ederal Government to protect lt. And Congress cti nol exercise any more authority over pr.. eitv ol that description than it may Coiistii utionall v Xere i.e nvi r property of any nil. er kind." " Thact of Congress therefore prohibiting a ciozen of the Uniul tttt-s IuLihk with him Ins si vh when he- removes to the Territory in question to reside, is & exorcise ol authority over private proper ty which in tioi wurrauied by the Coutitution. Wr i!e it remain a Territory, Congress may lilj e over it wj; din the scope of its constitutional powers iu relation to citizens of ihe United States, ai.l may estaMish a Territorial government, and the l rm of thin local government must be re gulaled bv the di-creiion f Congress; but ith powers not exceeding those which C- tiifr itself by the Constitution is au thonzjd to exercise over citizens I the United Slates in respect to their rihl ol persons or rights of property." Here e have Douglas' unqualifiziert dorseaent f the Dred Scott decision. We have also an autnoritati ve leg.,1 stmemeot of the elf ct of that deeisioo.

The Rump ticket has since been haule 1 d in by the editor of that journal, who declares that the former step was taken in his absence, and was wholly unauthorized by him. Breckinridge and Lane will Lave a large vote in Illinois. - Nir Jckkt Politics. A large meeting f th friends of Breckinridge and Lane was held at Newark, N. J., as we learn from the Advertiser, on Friday evening last, and was attended by most of Ihe leading men of the parly. Much enthusi asm was shown, indicating that the Breck inridge supporters are in tamest.

Reaelutlona of Condolence. Hall er Three IIavtb Lodgk No. iDi orF. A.M., July 6, lcGO A meeting of the above Lodge, held on

the Cihof July, A. L. 5S60, A D , 16G0, the following was utiatiimoulv adopted : Tbe members of this Lodge realize, in the sad dispensation with which Providence has seen fit to visit th em. the ad monitory truth that, "in the cuid-t of life we are io death." Our beloved brother aud friend, Gkobok F. Lton, was, but a few days tigo, associated with us here, in the enjoyment of good health and in the full vigor of a matured manhood. We felt the warm pressure of his generous hand, and were cheered by the ever pleaaot smile which beamed upon his face, when hecrossed the threshold ol this cousecralcd Hall. We listened with pleasure aud profit to bin counsels, and rendered implicit obedieiice to hi gavil whenever it called us "from refreshment to labor. But he has been "cut down like a flower." Hi spirit hau been celled to the "Grand Lodge above." The g.ivil of the Supreme Master has sum motietJ In id to another and, we trti'-t, a higher sphere; aod ho i left to us only in the recollection of his virtues of his kind heart, benevolent nature, manly perform ancc of duty, and earnest devotion to the principles of our erder. " Leaves have their time to full, And flowers to wither at the North wind' breath, And atara to sot but all. Thou hast all seasons for thine own, Uli, Death:' Brother Lyon ban been, for many years a Free aod Accepted ilanou, and Iiis mind was deeply imbued with the ennobling principles of Masonry. Having penetra ted all its mysteries, and reached its last, and highest degree, he became a compe tent instructor in those principles; and we who have so often been improved tinder his leaching will never forget with what kind and brotherly affection hin admoni tions were offered. lie died as he had lived, "without fear and without reproach;" and with heavj grief of heart, we are now c alled on b follow him to the cold and narrow grave, and to pay the list sad tribute of affection to his memory; therefore, Resolved, That, in tbe death of brother Lton which occurred in this city, on Tuesday morning, the 5ih instant this Lodge has lost one of its most useful mem bers, society an honest man, and we, who knew biro so well and so intimately, a kind hearted and affectionate friend and brother. Few men have lived who discharged better than he, all the duties which grow out of thefce relations; and few have died, leaving behind them a richer legacy of benevolent works: his heart was open as day to melting charity," and his hand was ever ready to pour b.ilm into every Wv ond: bis ear was never cloned to the cries of distress, and his feet, whether in sunshine or storm, were never tu -ned from the door of the suffering. May he enjoy an everlasting pring in the presence cf the "Omniscient, Eternal Judge," in that "house not made with handi, eternal in the Heavens." Retolttd, That, while our deceased broth er performed well and honorably his part in all his intercourse with us, his breth ren, and with the outer world, he never forgot the tecder duties which grow out of he domestic relatioi s especially those of husband and father. To her who was the affectionate sharer of whatever of sorrow or of joy he met with in thi. life, he was always true, loyal, and confiding; while to those little ones who so often gathered about his knee and were made glad by his cheerful smile, he was ever kit e and gentle. To all of them we tender our heart felt sympathy in their afflictive bereve-ni-nt, and, "in the beautiful spirit of the Christian's theology," we turn them to that "benevolent Savior who wept while j hereon earth," and who will always "fold the arms of His love ami protection around I those who put their trust an 1 confidence j in II im." , .. . : nlntions bei Keimred, lhat, these re , .1 i r .1 t j i prend upon the records of Ibis Lodge, and s that the secretary furnish a copv of them to the widow and family of our deceased brother, and that they be published in the ' newspapers of this city. ! R.W. THOMPSON', Com. J. I). WRIGHT, W. M. S B. Suitu, Sec. Kerthe Repress. ((narrrU. One of the most perfectly foolih thing .n the world is to quarrel, no matter with whom, or upon hat occasion. There is no necessity in it, no manner of use in it, and no species or electee of benefit to be gaii.ed by it, and yet, strange as the fact may be, Theologians quarrel, Politicians, Lawyers and Doctors quarrel, the Church quarrels, Rnd the State quarrels ; about all manner of things mid all manner of eccaMom. If there is nnytlting in t in- world that will ni?!e a muri feel bait it is unquestionably a quarrel. No man ever fails to think less of himself after than he did be fore one ; it degrades him io his own eyes and the eyes of others ; aod what is worse, blinds his sensibility to disgrace on the one hand and increases the power of passionate irritability on the other. The trull, is, the more quietly and peaceably we all get on, the better ; the better for ourselves, the better for our neighbor. In nine cases c ut of ten the wiest course is, if a man chea'.s you, to quit dealing with him ; if he is abusive, quit his company ; if he slanders you, live so that nobody will believe him Ko matter who he is or how he misuses you, tht wier way is generally just to let him alone, for there is nothing better than this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing with the beings we "meet with." D. IIULBORT. i Timfk.r op tux Soutu. The Orleans Delta, at the end of an elaborate article eulogizing Breckinridge in the warmest terms, says of the Douglas party : The wretched abortion called a Douglas party, which has no other vitality or substance but what were imparted to it bv the hostility of a f-w disappointed politicians and office seekers to one of the Senators from this State, will hardly struggle into a regular organization for the Presidential contest We look for its spvedy dissilu tion and evaparation The other party, com posed of well-mean ing CitizesS of honest purposes, but im-pri-ctic-l men aod schemes, mint soon dis cover the futility of its movements, and without any great sacrifice, settle down into the support of candidates for whom every consideration of patriotism, of duly, of sound policy, and love of the Union, de. tuand that the whole South should present a solid and united frout The allusions in the second paragraph to the Bell and Everett men will be hardly relished by them at this time, slim they calculate on carrying Louisiana as well as some other Southern States. ...

O The Evaufville Luquirer, as unscru

pulous a Democratic fcheet as is published ' in the State, has, in its issue of July 7th a very exultant article in relation to the recent action of th friends of Messrs. Bell and Everett who met nl Indianapolis on the 4th inst. The wi-ii being father to the thought, the editor misrepresents ererj ira portant particular of that meeting, lie says "it was determined to form a Bell and Everett electoral ticket for Indiana. For this ptirnoe a mass meeting of the friends of the nominees of the Union party in Indiana was called, to be held at India napolis on the 15th of August next, at which a full electoral ticket will be select eci." On the contrary, as we understand from the Bell and Everett men of this city, the proposition to form a Hell aud Everett electoral ticket for this State, was voted down by a handsome majority, and the mteting in August is to take such action at n then deemed advisable, in fact the meeting on the 4th was not called for the purpose of forming ao electoral ticket. The editor of the Enquirer ay in rela tioti to our fellow citizen R. W. Thompsou that he was preKenfand refuted the Black Republican libel upon him that he was going to support Lincoln, by declaring in the ioo-t explicit terms, that he could not by uii y combination f citcumstniice, or uudei any probable contingencies, be induced to vote f. r the Black Republican candidate." We believe C. Thompson said no such thing, lor we feel assured that contingeu cies might arise, when he would feel justified io giving hin influence and vote to elevate Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency. Mr. Thompson is fot John Bell, but, as we understand, between Mr. Douglas and Mr. Lincoln, he is for the latter. He believes, as .Iocs the great mass of the Be men here, that the time has arrived wlieu an imperious i:tret.jtv demands that the affairs of this gei.eral government should be taken nut ff the hands of this corrupt Democratic party this "buzzard roost hi Washington," and lie will act in such a manner that this desirable object may be attained. This is not only the feeling ol Mr. Thompson, as we understand it, but of the Bell men generally in this section of the country. We are impressed with the believe that the editor of the Enquirer has received his information, in relation to this meeting at Indianapolis, and th intention of the Bell men of this State frou Mr Blylhe of Evansville, who every one knows, is a Dem ocrat in his instincts, in his acts and in his associations. A man who, for the last several years has secretly, cunningly and persistently agisted in ad vancing the interests of the Democratic party in this Siat, and who to-day, we have no doubt, would much sooner see DaUirlas or Breckinridge President, thin Mr. Lincoln. Who is a Democrat without the courage to conies' it, and whose political record, forihe last few yeara, needs proper ventilation to a full understanding of who and what he is, politically Yeh"p the fiieiidi of Messrs. Bell and Everett, who reside in the pocket, will not. be deceived by those m- n who are in truth and fact scheming Democrats", and who for Stlti-h purposes are willing the present corrupt and corrupting party in power, my continue a policy that striken at all the best iutetet- of the country, und elevates to places of honor and ttost and profit, men who are inefiicieut anddihon ! w hope further that the honest Bell and Everett men of the county of Vandetburu will see and understand the motives of the Evansville Enquirer in becoming their esp.cial organ, and in misrepresenting the facts of this case. - Wide Awake .HeetluK After the adjournment of Ihe "Lincoln Club" at the Court House on Friday evening July ti'.h, a meeting was organized by calling Willi.im Durham, Esq, lo the ' 1 i chair, and appointed Lyndon A, Smith : 1 M 3 I Salary : "'-e (He necessary arrange- ! preliminary to the organization of a WideAwnke" Battalion for the city and! ! county. i Joseph f).

WM. DURHAM, Chm'n. Lt.npo A. Smitu, Scc'y lloasa Stkai.ino and Mueof.r. A man stole a horse in Lawrence county, this State, a few days ago. He was pursued by several citizens who over took him and ihrew etot.es at htm to make him surren der, which he refused to do, they rontin ued to stone him, wben the thief drew i pistol at.d hol a Deputy Sheriff Graham, killing him instantly. He was subse quently arrested, taken to Bedford and confined in Jail. The people of Owet a burgh, where young Graham lived, deman dod the prisoner to Linch him. The Oreen county Regulators were present ia large numbers. The thief wos lakeu from the Jail lo the woods lo be hung, but belter counsel prevailed, and he was taken back lo Jaii to be tried for murder. The greatest ex citetueut prevailed. ... Tnzv abx Comiso. We learn from the Hornet, published at Marshall, Ills. , thata delegation will leave that place on the morning of the l?th inkt., at G o'clock, to attend the speaking in this city, by Cassi as M.Clay. The "Wide Awakes" of Marshall are making preparations for the occasion . Quits iuk DauoeaACY. Geo. W Yokum, Esq., hitherto one of the leaders of the Democratic party iu Oskaloosa, Iowa, has addressed a letter to the editor of Oskaloosa Herald, io which he severe bit con nection with that perty io the future. .

The lte-aaaeinbllns; of the Delegates. It will be seen by reference to another

portion of this paper, that a call has been made, by the County Executive Committee for the delegates who composed the Oppo sition Convention that assembled io this cityoaihe SCih of May, to re-assemble again at the Court House in this city on Tuesday the 17th inst. This becomes nec essary from the fact that Mr. Usher has withdrawn from the canvass arid his place is to be supplied by some one else. As the delegates are called to assemble on tbe same day Caseius M. Clay is to speak in thi city, it is hoped there will be a large attendance. It is very important we should have a good man to fill the plsce on our ticket made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Usher. There is too much at stake this winter in the Legislature of this Stale for the Republicans to remain idle specta tors of the circumstances which surround us. Vigo County, by everything that is right and proper, should have anti-Demo ! cratic members in the Legislature this winter. The affair of the Siate for the last several years under the corrupt Administration of Ashbel P. Willnrd have to be looked iutoand thoroughly investigated. A U.S. Senator is to be electeJ to fill the seat now occupied by the usurper Fitch. Much that, is of vital importance has to be done and it will require good and compe tent men to do if 1 he llepuUiicana oi the County should not be too sanguine ol success. It is true everything is encoura ging. Our strength is iucreasing daily. Our opponents are disheartened and dis affected, but victory is not ours, until we have achieved it. We want no heavy weights hung to the party now. It is no reason an individual should be placed on the ticket, simply because he desires it. The offices belong to the people and they should bestow them upon those whom they desire should have them. They shoud be given to men who are honest and com pelent.and who cm Ut tltcttd We hope the delegates from the Townships and from the Wards of this city will feel themselves individually and personally bound to at tend this roeetin'?, and that they will select a good and popular man to fill this va cancy on our County ticket Vigo County Agricultural Fair. Perhaps there never was a finer prospect for the agriculturist than is apparent now throughout the County. The sunshine and the shower have been in such proper time thai vegetation of all kinds, has, so far, bad an unprecedented growth, and every circumstance looks favorable to its foil development. The inducements of fered to the farmer to bring the products of his farm to the fair, for exhibition, are am pie. Tito thousand dollar in prtmium are tobe distributed. The mechanic and the manufacturer has also n share in the awards, and every consistent inducement I ia offered for a (air, that Vigo County will be proud of. As our readers already know the fair is to be held on the 25th, 2Clh, 27th and 2S.h days of September, aud as some the adjoining Counties are invited to i participate iuj.be exhibition, a display of unusual interest may be expected. Now that there is a i pie lime to prepare, we i bone our fariue. nud mechanic will i makt every proper exertion to produce, at our next fair, the evidences of their labor i and their skill. I If Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, is overflowing with good things since tbe Baltimore Conveulion. Here are some of them: Douglas has lost his fighting cock. Pryor crows for BreckiBridg?. The Soft Shells and the Hard Shells of New York are terribly distressed just now, on account of tbe bivalvular condition of their parly. They do:'t know whether to follow Gus. ScLell or Her schel. The fire eaters will starve, we fear, for Wünt of something to consume. Breckinridge is the p-orest kind of green wood, and Douglas is a mere stick. Douglas is co longer a prophet to the Democratic party, and the jparly will be no profit to him. President Buchauan tries to whitewash Secretaiy Toucy, and Secretary Toocy tries to whitewash President Buchanan. A couple of chimney sweeps might as well try to make each other clean by rubbing their noses together. The Springfield Republican, the Massa chtisetts paper edited by Mr. Bowles and Dr. Hollaud, recently said: "The Demtcratic party it to dead here, and tterylhiny tut Republicanism is so dead, that, as a party, we really lack the slimulos to a healthy excitement.'

BY l'EOF. LKE. This science is without doubt more com plete and satisfactory to the student than any other of the exact sciences ; and the people of the West are gradually waking up to a better appreciation of its useful ness, tint only in the practical affairs ol men but as a means of developing the dif ferent powers of the human mind into those gigantic proportions which enable it to reason with the certainty of success, as is shown by the very prominent position this science occupies at the present time in all the more respectable Institutions of learu ing in the land. In our ordinary schools, heretofore, it has been considered sufficient if the young student could perform with accuracy and facility the four ground rules of Arithmetic, and if a teacher could ad vance the pupil so far as the Single Rule of Th ree, he was deemed fitto assume at once ihe Miperiutendeocy of a provincial school . Anything beyond this was considered ra Iber as a gaudy tinsel than as being of auy practical utility in the business affairs of life. To add numbers, to aubstract. to ultiply and lo divide comprehended in about all the mathematical knowledge thai was thought necessary to enable a man to barter and to combat successfully his fellow man Even this much knowledge of the science of numbers and the art of computation was, in a great measure, by the common juJgment of society withheld from the fe male pupil. She belonging to the "weaker SPt" Could not bono for a Iparninircn nml - - aw. w . aiui. w VI.... Nor, was she thought to possess the natural faculty as it has been called, which enabled her peculiarly gifted male com. panionto store his mind with the myste ries of Arithmetic aud become a proficient in theart oi' numerical calculation! Against her the door to mathematics was forever locked ; she was taught to revere the young mau by her side at school whom God had blessed with a mind capable of overcoming aud thoroughly mastering the aforcraen : i i i , n.. uoueu roar grouna nuies: liie science thus limited was taught solely with refer ence to its availability in a strictly busi ness point of view as assisting to the ac quisition of as much of this world's goods as possible. Viewed in this aspect the price put upon it fell (ar, far short of its valu8. For if it is studied only with this mercenary object, it may be easily made apparent, that a grave error was committed mints short sighted view of its importance: aod lhat a man's ability to manage suecessfully, any business of a pecuniary character, on any scale however small or extended, increases at every 6tep with his knowledge of mathematics. This fact has not been as generally recognized by the business men of this country, as its immediate importance, to them, demands. The haste to acquire riches, wheu this is the paramount object of life, begets a sordid indifference to a thorough training in science before hand, as a preparation, and tradesmen, of every kind, farmers, and mechanics, have been contented with little or uo previous education, especially with regard to the Higher math-e-matics;and thi most important and useful of all sciences has been greatly undervalued by those whom it is calculated ti benefit most. By such practice it is plain that . .. j our business men Lave stood in their own ! light-that they have proceeded with huge j '"i"stoce hanging to them retarding their j progress, and wtakemog every effort. The ; fact that men have, by the thousand, j tucCft,dwl in business," who never passed i through the preparation indicated, is by no luean ao argument against it. They have only succeeded in re of their igno r nce ; sod if they have become famous for their financial ability, and mechanical achievement where might they have stood in the end, other circumstances equal, had they begun under the auspices of a thorough mathematical education 1 It must not be understood, however, that little value attaches to mathematics short of a complete knowledge. It is singularly true, lhat the beurfits we derive from it are proportional to the progress we make in that direction. But, to Ihe mere businessman a knowledge of the Arithmetic, no matter how limited,"! his infinite ga n, although it has been a practical error of his, to cooaider anything beyonet this as unnecessary and uuimportaiit. With him the Arith melic was thought sufficient, if a man had uo higher aim than the accumulation of wealth ; if he had no desire lo drink at the delightful waters from ihe deep wells of science and only cared lo know how to di vide his neighbors goods and add them to his own. But if he would follow this sci ence in all its ramifications if be would understand nature in all the departments of Physical Science; if he would reve amid the harmony of her laws ; if he would watch the majestic motious of her spheres as they move sublimely on in space ; if he would educe the laws by which these are governed, and the orbits they describe he must dive deeper into mathematics. With this for his telescope, and walking humbly before God, he explores tbe paths to the universe, and while the Eternal Truths of Creation are revealed to him, 'Tho Increasing prosper! tires Lis wandering eyes As hill o'er hi lis, and Alps o'er Alps arise.

and saw him have considerable money io nashunal dimocracy is now ready fur his pocketbook, which, ho put into his the mellennium, and that in the Ianpantaloon's pocket. -As Robinson was guage of the Scripter, Judge Duglis

about starting Milton f.aid he believed he would go across the river with him, and got on the vt.'oo with Robinson for that purpose. Before they had got to the Draw bridge Milloa had stepped off the wagon, and when Robinson fell for his wallet lo pay his toll, he found be had been robbed He returned and got out a search warrant, and searchod the premises of Milton but failed to find anything. It appears how ever that among the money taken was a tweuty dollar bill. Shortly after the rob bery was committed, Mihon it appears of fered a twenty dollar bill at F. Nippen & Dunn's in payment for 6ome goods he had purchased. The bill was taken to the Southern Bank and changed. These facts being obtained a warrant was issued for the arrest of Milton and he was taken be fore Justice Sayre for examiuation. After hearing the evidence, Milton was committed, for want of bail to await the action of the next Grand Jury. Robinson supposes that he lost about sixty-five dollars, only tweiuy of which has been found. Eleven dollars of the change received from Nippert. & Dunn were afterwards found hid in Milton's cupboard, and identified by Mr. Williams of the Southern Bauk. Milton has the appearance of an utterly worthless fellow and has a wife with a small child, and a grown daughter. Oua (il'M. White the double-headed Democracy are looking shout for some way to defeat the Republicans by throwing the election into the House, as their only hope, we venture the prediction lhat Lincoln will carry every State that Toted for Fretnont in 185G, which gave him H i electoral votes. It will require but 38 more to elect him. He will get 27 in Pennsylvaj nlll ,, uiill0i, d eeven in New Jersey, seven more than necessary, leaving as a margin, Indiaua, 13, Minnesota, 4 which are almost morally certain to vole for him. In Indiana, Fillmore in 1&5G had some eight or ten papers to support him. Every one of these paper now support Lincoln, aud that ci.tiru vote will be transferred to him. These facis, taken together, with the present efficient organization of the Republican party, we have the best of rea sons for believing that Indiana will come out Iriumphaut iu thfcoitmt.

Jintownjoon 25 Domini 1 Gt0. Feller Broadax: When word cum to jintown last nighj, that Duglia was elecle 1 to the nomination of the Baltimore convention which adjourned sina dy from Carlioer to meet in joou, thar was a grate outpourin of the jintown dimocrae-y, fur the purpose of holdiu a spontaneous raterfycation.

Uul on acount uv thar teing no nag ;netic paragraph to jintown we wus afeard it wus a mistake, and felt on6artin as to how we orter perceed.

This put us to a great quandry. Thar wus jit scores uv elimocrats in town all a feel ill Otltliusiasstic and a lioldin a ratify iu raeetin, and notliin to ralerfy.

Joasii Tklgrit. , COXSISTEXCIE3 OF DofGLASISM. Il wasn't for Mr. Douglas, but for principle the principle of Squatter Sovereignty and non-protection that the Douglasites persisted in a course which divided the Democratic party. Oh, no! They are honest, se!f-sacri-fictng men, willing to die, if need be, on the altar of principle! Yet, after they had accomplished the work projected, they showed how sincere they were, by nominating for Vice President Mr. Fitzpatrick, w ho, within tin last six weeks, vobd for the Senate Caucus resolutions, which repudiated Squatter Sovereignty, and declared for protection. Louisville Courier. And in nominating Jonxsox, they 6howed a most tender and patriotic regard for the Union, by taking up an avowed Disuuionist for the Vice-Presidency. The Douglasites, verity, ate great sticklers for principle. The eloquent Gocldek of Georgia, who supports Douglas, as he declares, because of his non intervention humbug is specially favorable to the African shive trade and to slave breeding, has mote consistency than all the Northern Douglasites put together. Cin. Gazette. What Docgla Has Doxe. The Clermont Courier tells the following: A stranger called in at the 6tore o a leading Democrat, who, it is said, was the only Donglas man in the place during the pendency oi the Lecorupton bill. As usal, the merchant broached the subject of politics, when the stranger remarked: "Douglas has done more real good for the country than any other man since the days of Washington. "' "That's true, my honest friend," said the Douglas man, as he grasped him warmly by the hand. " But wait a moment;" said the stranger; "let me axplain my meaning. Douglas has succeeded in breaking up and destroying the Democratic party, and that is a great blessing for our country." The Douglas man let goof the hand of the stranger as quick as thought he had received a shock from a galvanic battery. Still Tut Come. The Chiliicothe Gazette says : Col: Van Trump, the candidate of the Fillmore party for Governor in 1857, is out for Lincoln and Hamlin, and will probably take the stump for the ticket this fall. -a.OrSenator Bright frankly admits that Lincoln will carry Indiana by a very large majority, and does not an ticipate any change of the Democratic programe by which that result can be e fleeted.
