Indiana The Indiana election is gall
and NORWOOD to the Van Burenites.
They are determined not to be beaten, in
the west, let the votes go in the west as
they will, No doubt if Findlay, in Ohio,
gets clever ma ority Of some fifteen
thousand, they will claim him as Jack
son man and discard Lucas, or protest
that National politics had nothing to do
with the election. We would, therefore,
advise Findlay's friends not to beat Lu-
cas- too far; or the collar gentry will swear
them out Of their Governor. AS this
would be rather a serious affair, they
ought TO have some previous understanding
as to whether the Van Burenites intend
to claim him in case he is elected by a
large majority. They claim Duncan, OF
Illinois. and they manifest strong deter.
mina'ion to swear the Wings out OF No

bestowing upon him although they have not m
formed us to which Of the celebrated characters
Of antiquity they intend to compare him. There
were goodly number Of tyrannical old Romans
who having been bred in the camp, and aequir-
ing fame by their military exploits, when after
wards they were advanced 10 high civil stations,
attempted TO rule the people with an iron rod Of
martial discipline. In general, they were rebuk-
ed by the people, and punished as they deserv-
ed nor did such military usurpstions succeed,
until the degeneracy ofthe people invited the Tn
croachments Of tyranny. The following passa-
ges from Shakspeare's Coriolanus, seem admi'
rably descriptive Of President Jackson, and in
duce us to believe that his sycophants must alludc

Dear Sir; The euloges of your warm hearted
friend make me sad. He who point out to
me the means of comfort in private life, sur
rounded with an affectionate family, and a few
friends, where such mind as
have may be devoted to practical philosophy
will make me more happy than one who should
hold out prospects of the highest public honors.
To be honest and fearless in office, is to be in
eternal turmoil and danger, without any ade-

CIRCULAR.
To he Temperance SOcistiss Of VTginia.

A Convention Of Delegates representing
eleven different Temperance Societies
was held at Winchester, June Z, 1884.
At that Convention, among the business
transacted, was the adoption of the FOL.
lowing Resolution:
=" Resolred, That it be recommended "a
the Temperance Societies throughout the
State of Virginia TO hold General Con.
yeniion at Charlottesville on the esd of
October, 1884, and thai they be recon-
mended to send in the ratio Of foul dele.
gates TO every 100 members"
The Executive Committee OF the Vir.
GINA State Sorety in their circular, and
the friends Of Temperance in different
parts Of the State have expressed their ap.
probation Of this movement. and different
Temperance Societies have already de.
clared their determination to appoint dele

ing, 10 aiding the success Of the cause of
Temperance, so insepara5ly connected
with the best interests of mankind.-It il
very important that this Convention should
unite the whole strength Of The cause in
Virginia. But difficulty which was not
foreseen, when the 23d OF October was
determined on, has lately been brought to
public notice. This arises from the meet
ing of the Synod of Virginia, at Charles
town, jefferson county, on the same day.
The attendance on this body, representing
one of the largest Christian denomina-
lions, would necessarily deprive the Con-
vention of the services OF the clergy, and
many of the laity of the Presbyterian
! Church-a circumstance much TO be re.
GREETED, as they have uniformly taken a
prominent stand in promoting the onward
march Of the Temperance cause. To pre-
vent the interference OF those two impor-
tant assemblages, many of The members
Of the Convention at Winchester, have re-
quested the undersigned, as their organ.
to issue a circular notice to the Tempe.
rance Societies of the State, recommend
ing different day for holding the Con.
vention at Charlottesville.
In obedience to that request, it is re-
specially recommended TO the different
Temperance Societies of the State Of Viz
ginia, to send their delegates 10 meet at
Charlottesville on the 90th. This change
will it is presume d, suit all parties, as but
few Societies have yet appointed their
delegates, and the advantages attendant
on the change of time are so apparent, that
it is believed that it will be generally ap.
proved.

More Of "he Experiment WE learn
from the Western papers that the crafts
Of several Of the Judicial and other officers
Of the United States, besides those here
tofore noticed, fer their salaries, have
been returned under protest from Wash
ington. on the pretcuce that the Secretary
Of the Treasury has right to pay. these
salaries tchere he pleases. Upon. which
the Missouri Republican very justly re
marks thus: What right has he to pay
with draft at all, against the viii OF the
creditorp But as to The place Of payment,
as a general rule of common sense, and OF
law too we presume, the debtor is respon
sble wherever he may be found, unless
particular place is stipulated in the con
tract, or from the nature of things a par
tcular place is intended by the parties.
Now, IL an officer have a quarters sala
nv due him, to tchom shall he apply for the
money, if not TO the agents appointed by
law to settle such accounts and pay such
debts ? and tchere shall he apply, IL not at
the Treasury Department in Washington,
where the law requires those agents TO
reside, and keep their offices? Judge Peck,
or MIR. Conway, cannot demand his sala-
ry in New Orleans, Philadelphia, or Bos
ton. The Government does not keep IFS
account books at either Of those places,
nor any agent with power TO settle and
pay such demands" This reasoning is
irrefutable, though we say it, that perhaps
ought not TO say it, having ourselves urged
much the same arguments a week or two
ago.
When speaking on the same subject
moreover, we supposed the case of public
agents, receiving drafts on distant banks
having TO travel hundreds Of miles to gel
them converted into money, at great cost
and loss Of time; and the official paper
by authority Of course, ridiculed the
apprehension of any such difficulty. But
already the case, which we supposed, has
become fact. Nay, the very draft. whose
history was to prove the correctness oil
our position, had actually issued from the
Treasury when we put upon paper our
views of the financial effect of "the Elk

its romance. The best commentary on
the German genius is a visit TO the Ger

vines and deep valleys on the legendary
Rhine the gigantic remains Of antique
power profusely scattered over plain,
mount and forest; the Thousand mixed re.
collections that hallow the ground the
stately Roman, the Stalwart Goth, the
chilvary of the feudal age. and the dim
brotherhood Of the ideal world, have here
and there, alike stern record of their re-
membrance. Hence the ford
mixture Of the german muse the classic
the romantic, the eontemplative, the phi
losophic, and the superstitious each the
result Of actual meditation over different
scenes: As the Rhine flows, SO
flows the national genius, by mountain and

superstition. truth and fable, succeeding
