HISTORY OF INDIANA.

JOHN B. DILLON, Esq, who has for sever
al years been engaged on history of our
State, has at length issued the first Volume.
Speaking ofthis gentleman the Louisville
Journal says-SAIr. billions great industry
and ability eminenlly qualify him for the
task he has undertaken, and we predict that
his work will be found popular and interest
ing. Many years ago Mr.. Dillon was in the
habit of writing for the literary periodicals
ofthe West, aud acquired considerable repu-
tation. Everything that emanated fiom his
pen was characterised by fine TASTE and Wig
orous thought. His"Prophet's Dream" and
"Burial of the Beautiful are exquisite
poems, worthy of a high rank among the
productions of the American muse. About
ten years ago, he wrote tale, entitled Am
biton,n which is one of the best stories ever
produced in our country. He is at once a
fine poet, profund thinker, and an elegant
writer. We know him well, and although we
have not seen a page of bis history, we have
no donbtit is quite equal 10 any work of The
kind produced in the West. We hope thai
the sale of the work may be commensurate
with It's merits"

A SHORT PARAGRAPH.

Speaking of our legislation in these Unit
ed States, Gov. Briggs remarks:
1t seems TO me that careful observer of
the couise ofthings in this country, win be
impressed with the idea, that TOO much leg
islaiion both in the States and in the Con-
gress, is one of the prominent evil of the
times. Simplicity, certainty, and stability
in the laws which give title TO the properly,
and regulate the business intercourse of the
citizens of State, are of very great import.
lance. Frequent changes in existing laws
are constantly defeating these objecis, and
rendering the business transactions of men,
and the tenure of their property uncertain.
Every new law, and every alteration of an
old one, sows the seed of litigation in the
community. And the conflicting interests,
aud disturbed p,ssioas ofrnen, will general
ly insure plentiful harvest.
A reference TO tie number of cases in the
late volumes of our own reports, which arise
upon the statute laws of the State, will throw
light upon this subject.

rThe signs of the times indicate; that
not only Mr.. Rives, but that Mr.. Calhoun
himself will yet contribute his influence to
the election of Mr.. Clay. This he will either
do by an open declaration of his preference,
like Mr.. Rivcs, or by Withdrawing from the
battle altogether. There is nothing in Van
Burenism to sustain him in his adherence to
it. Dir. Calhoun is known TO be ambitious,
and his former coalition was made with a
clear understanding that he was 10 be heir to
the thtone. The defeat Of 1910 crushed all
the hopes founded upon that arrangement,
and although he agreed to wait until 1914,
yet lS4S is loo late term and the prospect
of his securing such succe ssion, blasted four
years ago, are far dim now. There are no
longer purposes of ambition TO answer, and
personal kindnesses ofieeiings, ii is known
never existed; ifthey ever did, the events oc-
curing in the administration of Gen. jackson
severed them for ever. Their union was POI
ilical, and can exist no longer than mutual
political hopes exist. Mr.. Calhoun is too
shrewd politician to suppose that any hopes
remain for the reelection of Martin Van Bu-
rem now, after the stunning and overwhelsn-
ing defeat of him and his party in 1910.
We already find The friends of MIR. Clay,
in Mr. Calhoun's own State, expressing the
highest degree of confidence, which they
could not do, if calculating upon the over
towering influence of her fayorile against
them.
