the political State campaign rap.dly fP"

proaohes. Already the people are *^8

about lor true and tried men men who love their country and hate treason, who have lent their infiuenee, time, money and ability to the interest and welfare of the Republic in the death-struggle through which it has been passing for the past two years, to bear aloft the ensign of Liberty and Union through the coming contest. The question has been asked, "Who shall lead the cohorts of liberty to victory Noeoner asked than the universal response canu up from all partB of our noble old State in or oud acclaim, "Oliver P. Morton." He, friend of the soldier, the Bleep'ess, ^ei'./o, fc"t executive, the comprehensive and pat. ta "issman, the man above til tnen who hus elevate'1, our boioved 5tat to its present dignity anu piide.

This is not intended as a eulogy of Governor Morton, nor is its purpose to infiuenc in his behalf. This people if afflited by /prevalent disease, it is 'Morton on the brain.' The enconiums upon Governor Morton. *t--ra eloquent and more enduring than 'ho rues' briili an'- poriods penned by the ables wriU: j, ln.vc already been uttered. F° nesds uo fiim?y editorial tribute, ro shabby eulogistic headlines to extcti' is famo while Indiana's noble soldiery •.bands to write nod mouths to spQg1" They a a his jewels, and the nobio deeds doDe by him in their behalf are the monuments erected by himself to his own glory, more enduring than brass and which neither the Bight of years can wear away nor tha weight of centuries crumble into dust.

The single name of Oliver P. Morton will insure victory to the Union cause in the coming campaign, but the people are determined to mike assurance doubly sure. The manifestations are of a prevailing intention to streufcfliea the ticket beyond the possibility of defeat. This is true philosophy. It is desired that Morton should run unincumbered To this end it seems to be esteemed wise to put into the field with him able, honest, popular, earnest, patiiotic^Union men. We say amen to this. The people of the State cannot afford a defeat, the soldiers cannot afford a dofent and the groat cause of liberty cannot afford a defeat.

Among the names Buggestc-d for the remaining office* is that ot Thomas McC&ithy for State Auditor. Favorablo urd fi itteritig mention has been mado of bim by I seme of tho most ii.fluential publications of the State. We recall the Vincennoa Gazette, Evangvillo Journal, Lafayeete Courier, Fort Wayne Gazette, Indiana Herald, Howard Tribune. We speak it, we conies, with a

degree of local pride, that Mr. McCarty oc« cuples an enviable position with reference to tha nominafpm with pride because he Is a resident hero and for eight years was the Auditor of Wabash couoty, which position he filled in a creditableand honorable manner Mr. McOarty is course well known in this community. He is a true gentle man possessing popular qualities, '8 unyielding in his devotion to principles and friends. While he is a stout-hearted Union man, and always has bean, he in grateful for favors and never turns bis back upon his friends. Possess5ng information derived from a long personal acquaintance, we say deliberately, that I\ B. McOarty is pre-omiuently fitted for the position of Auditor of State. Nature seems to have formed him for the place. Ho has despatch, neatness, system, promptness, accuracy, and practical turn of miud, is a fine mathematician, aud an excellent accountant. T. McOarty has long experience, makes no official blunders, and punctuality is his official motto. Furthermore he will add a tower of strenght to tho Union tickct. He has an extended political and social n(\'|uaiutance, and above all is widely kno?. as an earnest, honest hearted, Union man. Whilo, perhaps, wo may be justly accused of being actuated by motives of local interest in speaking for this gentleman, yet, in view of the terrible calamity which uas 1 eiallcn our common country, demanding 0 tho control of our governmental machinery ^bould bo placed 'n tha hands of honest. af u. !. wo trust thai we should not I.E BO BLINDS PRIDE as to trifle with public affairs i.'. this ei.jis by urging a 'iuo ion from such paltry .usiderations mono. However this tuny be, wo ha* reason to believe that our late stfttctneru.-i will have but littlo effect inasmuch as bis nomination seems to bo a foregone conclusion. If wo read the sign9 of the Ties correotlv they are that Morton and ft.-C arty are two names which will grace the fc" ito 1 ickct for tho Fall campaign of 1P04.

Thus, metaphorically, at least, slavery baB committed suicide, by falling as did the NXROES and CALIGULAS of the Roman empire, upon their own swords, when the great doom had come. That wo should see it in this light is not perhaps very remarkable: but the South is beginning to have its eyes opened also. North Carolina is awaking to the great convictior. The Raleigh Standard and the Raleigh Progress come out iu favor of President LINCOLN'S recent amnesty proclamation, and the North Carolina Times advise? the people of the to accept it

European tioveroments, at £ra inciined to regard the rebellion favcrublv, now give it the cold shoulder. Let us say, in summary, that whatever may happen, slavery is dead, beyond hope of resuscitation and that the death-blow is no work o. Northern Abolitionists no edict of our Executive has ach eved it. -Its death warraut was sounding in the booming notes of the cannon which opened on Fort Sumter, and tb# final blow was dealt by the bands of tnose who conceived ncd •I'jbt out the rebellion, the most atrocious tre on to bo recorded In historv.

Its EfT et.

The Convention held here on Fr'd&y last, an »ffdct contrary to the expectations of th- leaders of tho outternut party. It disclosed the fact that in Lhis District, there is a radicnl difference among the members of that i.nny, aa to what Democracy i. Nor is this difTcvencp confined to this District, but it ex i:t,its in-1-If uvtr the whole Northern States. The ti»-xt National Convention of butternuts will fii-d it as impossible to reconcile the conflicting (dements within its organization, assi'd the Cuiivei tionsat Charleston and Baltimore wliieh resulted in the dismemberment and total disorganiz itiou of the party.

As we have before stated, more than half the delegates who attended the-.1 invention, here on Friday last, were in favor of com promise as tne only means of restoring tbe Union, and opposed to resorting to stronger means to assert the Naiional authority.— They say "war is not the proper remedy" to re-establish tho Uuion, but compromisa is the rightful remedy. If all efforts at compromise fail, they are then In favor of recognizing the independence of tho "Confederacy." This wo understand to be tha position of the majority of the delegates who attendsd tho Convention on Friday: at least they so expressed themselves through their resolutions. They refused to endorse tho preclamation of Gen. JACKSON, issued during tho days of South Carolina nullification,in which ho said the''Fcder al Union must be preserved." They did not tbiuk with JACKSON, that the Federal Union should bo preserved, unless it could be done by compromise alono. Tho other faction iu this Convention, was in favor of extending to the rebels, what it designated as their "Constitutional rights," and if they refuse to submit ou thos^ terms, then a continuance of the war would have to be the result. The "Constitutional rights" of reb:lsand traitors,

who repudiate the Constitutioi' and have

made savage war on it for three years!-

savage

They claim no Constitutional rights from Northern butternuts, or anybody else. It was perhaps, unfortunate that Judge CLAY POOL, and Mr, WOLFE, were not in the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions, to have extended to their Southern brethren their "Constitutional rights,"' in accordance with their demands. Under such circumstances, the war, according to their arguments, might have been avoided. But the Democratic delegates refused thus to compromise and we might argue that they brought on the war by thus refusing concessions to their Southern friends.

The quarrel which took place here on Fri duv, disgusted many of the members of that party, who have hitherto voted with it. Some ot them have siuce uvowtd their determination to vote with it'no more heard, on Satturday last, three mcuiL-.rai of 'hat party, who reside in this county, av'r that they could uot be made to folio ,, the lead of Messrs. DAVIS, COBNWELL and HANA, on their unconditional peacc platform, and further more, that they would sustain such a patty no longer. The people will not be lead blindly against their own interests, and those of tha country. This county, under such circumstances will give the Uuion tick et a majority of fifteen huudrcd votes next rail.

The Mississippi Plantation Scheme. A special correspondent of the New York World writes from Vicksburg, December 18, on the subject of "working tha plantations on the conquered territory on the banks of the Mississippi, as far os possible, by free labor. His statistics are very interesting, and his conclusion are entirely in favor of, the scheme, the objects of which were threefold, viz to relieve the army by a semi-military occupation of its lines ef communication to demonstrate the availability of free labor in the pioduction of Southern corps and, lastly, to relieve the outcast negro from his vagrant condition and gradually prepare him for the du« tit of a free man. The correspondent says thit the firettwo objects have been abundantly demonstrated at the close of ths fret year of trial. The commerce and navigation of the Mi«sissippi have been aided and protected by the plain, and the improvement of the negro (the third object of the schenje), although by nature a work of timo, has been commenced with as much success as might be hoped for.

While the plan has thus been generall successful, it has been so over very great drawbacks. A pi iucipal disadvantage is stated by ibs writer to bj iu tho quality of the laborers.

First, he say. the masters drove off to Texas or Georg.a all the most "likely" ot the hands. Next came the recruiting sergeant who took all the able-bodied men for we army, and the officers and men of the army culled them for servants, both male ana female, ol wbich there is aa astonishing proportion now with the army. Hardly au officer that has not both cooks and valet, and in some cases privates have them and a captured mule besides. Thus it will be seen that, practically, the plantations are being worked by the decrepid and refuse of the vagraot negro«3. There is a frightful pro portioH of useless family members in each rlratt, so that lor each good field bai.d you nave to keep four additional mouths. The usual allowuuco was a bale of cotton to the acre and eight to hand but now the product is but three-quarters ot a tale, and four acre? to the band is all that can be reckoned upon The experience of the forty plantations *oiked last season was In this proportion: Six made handsome profits, where they were undistui bed by tbv great raid and fortuoate in their (mods. Six others lost slightly in the derangements ot the labor, and the rest made just enough to tempt them to release.

After showing famiiiarly the workings of the t-ysu of labor, which description proves that great pecuniary profit would accrue were the able bodied negeoesonly allowed to bear their proportion among the laborers, the

writer says There is now no question as to what we shall do with the negroes. On the contrary, the demand is greater than the supply, until the army is purged of its superincumbent weight. There ia no talk of deportation.Thev caR be made to work without the aid of the lash. They hate their former masters acd will not work for them.

The following encouraging wcrds, to those who wish to go to the help of the Govern raent and at the snmo time contribute to the welfare of a heretofore oppressed class and their own pecuniary benefit, close the letter:

Oh the whole, this new and rich territory specs good field for persons who have energy and small capital, with a certain hope of large reward. Companies, persons, discharged and disabled soldiers, could associate together and take a plantation, verying as they do,from five hundred to two thousand acres, and realize as much in a single year as they eould amass in a lifetime by the ordinary channels. Cotton was produced P'ob-

ably at eight cents per pound, when held

commanded two

hundred dollars a

year. Now that it is at least four times that (rice, it should be made under reasonable circumstances to enrich all who are engaged in ita culture. The enterprise is legitimate, and attended with no greater risk than attaches to many ordinary occupations

WheH the first exposure of the plot to release tho Rebel prisoners on Johnson's Island wus made, a great, laugh was raised at those who gave it credence, and all the Copperheads and a good many who are not pro nounced it a ridiculous hoax. For the edifi cation of these astute judges we quote the following paragraph from the regular annual report of the Rabel Secretary of the Navy, Mr. S. R.Mallory:

During the months of July and August I seut 27 commissioned officers and 40 trustworthy petty officers to the British Provices. with orders to organize an expedition and to co-operate with army officers In au atten-.pt to release the Confederate prijoners coined on Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie From time to time I learned that the arrangements made were such as to insure the most complete success, Alarge amount of money had Dees expended, and just as our gallant uaval officers were about to set sail on this expedition, the English authoritiesgave informs lion to the enemy, and thus prevented the execution of one of the best-planned enterprises of the present war.

Tus New York Pott says the exportation ol arms to Europe i& now a brisk business at that port. The supply of rifles and mus kew of Americau manufacture is now I ally equal to the demand of our armies, and the European small arms which were brought a year or two since for the Government are returning to their places in the arsenals and factories which were emptied for our ccommodatioa.

who invented rocking cradles^ far children rests under a fearful load ofsresponsib£rty._ The downright fnurdejMf tens of thoownda of infants, and the weakened br(&>f ol uundreds ot thousands of adults, are undoubted resultB of this invention. To rock a child in a cradle, or to swing him in a crib, amounts to just this: ths rapid motion disturbs the natural flow ol the blood, aud produces stnpor or drowsiness. Can anybody suppose for a moment that Buoh an opfcration'is & health fnl one? Every one kuows. the dizzy and often sickening eflect of moving rapidly in a swing yet wherein does this differ from the motion child receives when rocked in~a cradle? It is equivalent to lying in a ship berth during a violent storm and that sickens nine people out of ten. A very gentle, slow motion may sometimes be soothing, though always of doubtful expediency but to move the cradle as rapidly as the swing of a pendulum three feet lorg—that is, once in a second—ia positive craeity. We always feel like grasping and staying the arm of the mother or nurse who, to secure quietude, swings the cradle or crib with a rapidity iual ty that of a pendulum afoot long.

We insist that this reck»* of children is a use'«ss habit. If not a med to rocking th will go to sleep qui is »ell when lying quit^'v as when shaker & cradle. If they do no tnere is trouu.e "^m sickness, or hunget or more likely an overloaded stomach and though the rocking may produce a teniporajy stupor, tlio trouble is made worse tbe.-eafter by the unnatural means taken to produce quiet for tho time being.

Lieutenant Governor.

Col. It. N. HUDSON, is being talked of as the man for Lieutenant Governor. If Col. HmscN Allows his name to go before the State Convention, which meets next month, we have but little doubt but that he will

P':eive the nomination. The Uaion men in this part of the State will support him most heartily.

WE notice by the Morgan County Ganettethat Wit. R. HARRISON, Esq., of that county will be a candidate before the 8tate Cenven-

tion, for the nomination for Secretary of State. The Gatetteeayf. "For Secretary of State, "Old Morgan" has a word to say. She presents tho name of W. —. Harrison, E q.— For energy ability, and soundness of faith, we challenge the most punctilious for an ob jection. If sleepless vigilance, constant labor, untiring devotion to the cause, with never a faltering t.Lp.are any recommendation he is sure of nomination. Every true Lnion man, who knows Mr. Harrison, will endorse all we say of him, iu:d be tor his nsminatiou through thics. and inin, and all."

Mr HARBT J? ^oodandtiue man, and wo trust hL w.nl^'S i'l be duly considered by the Convention.

Preparing lor the t.a»l Move. The Virginia ^tate Jonrnal learns that the central arsenal of the rebel Government hae been removed from Richmond to Columbia, South Carolina. This, we dare say, is but the prelude to the transter of the rebel capital, and its rebel Government, archives, scrip, officers, offices, workshops, bag and baggsgej to the same destination in the Spring. Thus

The Union Convention and Govomor Morton. Perhaps no Convention that has ever met io this State, is of more vital importance, than the Union Convention called to meet on the 23d day of February. It will be the firet State Convention, looking to the campaign of 1864, which meets in a loyal State. Iu action will have much influence in giving direction to the action of Conventions which are to follow it. Its duty will be, not only to put in nomination a good State ticket, but also to indicate the right kind of men to attend the National Convention. After this, the Convention must declare its Platform of principles, and this is, perhaps, of more importance than any other duty it will have to discharge. That the ticket adopted by this Convention, will be headed by the name of OLIVER P. MORTON eems to he universally conceded. No ... iu this State, is so capable of leading tad l^yal men of the country to the Bupport of t1"-'Jovernment, No man is more able, more '.ermiued, or more patiiotic. Every friend of liis country will rally to his suoport, and eveiy rebel sympathizer will feel doubly contemptible, at his

triumph. Not only has Gov. MORTON proven himself equrii to the great emergency caused by the rebellion, but as fin Executive and financial -,fficer. he has shuwn distinguished ability.— How he hau rallied the loyal people of Indiana to the support of the Government, in •:ts hour of peril the whole world knows— how ho defeated the combined action of trai tors and demagogues to destroy the credit of the State and blast her fair fame, will soon be made public.

Couctde the nomination then of Governor MoiTOJf.by unanimous aud universal consent, and the Convention has but to select good meu for the other offices—being careful to nominate for the Supreme Bench, only the best legal talent, men in"»rruptiblo, and as loyal meu as we have in the State.

Put all into a common sized tea-cup or vessel which holds about four ounccs, and pour full of boiling water, stir well,and then fill full of good vinegar. Fit for use when it settles. Make a swab by getting a little stick about the size of a pipe stem, notch one end and wrap a strip of cotton cloth atound it, letting the cloth project about half an inch beyond the ctick, so as not to jag the mouth and throat, and fasten with a thread.

Swab the mouth and throat well every half hour, if the case is ba\ every hour if not bad. When the paiint gete, better, every two hours then when better, every four hours and when still better, two or three times a day, till well which will be from two to seven days. Touch every af fected spot, the uvula, tonsils, and fauces, the whole of the back part of the mouth and top of tho throat and let the patient swallow a little of the wash each time you swab. Swabbing causes no pain, though the patient will gag and sometimes vomit bnt swab well, and a feeling of relief will follow every swabbing.

Let every patient have a separate swab and wash, as the disease is undoubtedly infectious. Keep the wash pore by pouring what you use, each time, into another vessel, and also wipe off any matter or slime that may be on the swab, every time you take it from the morth.
