INGERsoLL AND ADAms.-The Philadelphia Ledger
makes the following comparison:
But while nature has done the most for Mr.. Inger-
soil, cultivation has done the most for MIR. Adams.
His mind is of the secondary order, thoroughly drilled.
Hence he cannot easily conceive a new thought, but is
master of the thoughts of others. He is a borrower,
not an inventor; he appropriates, but does not discover
or create. He never explores, but stays at home and
collects. He is not Columbus or Cook, but the keeper
of a museum or curiosity shop. Mr.. Ingersoll creates,
Mr.. Adams learns; Mr.. Ingersoll offers his own
thoughts, generally striking for their novelty, often
for their impracticability; Mr.. Adams offers. the
thoughts of others, and sometimes, as In his defence
of the British war against China, combines them in
defiance of logic and right, reason and revelation.
The one is an eagle who would try to soar with a
broken wing the other is a turkey who would try to
initiate the eagles flight"

Ii. Gov. bright.

The Journal of Wednesday last, contains a mali
cious attack upon Lieut.. Gov. Bright, in reference 10
the Senatorial election. 1t accuses him of having ia
ken the responsibility of defeating the election with a
view of procuring a protein. appointment for his bro
ther Michael, or his own elevation to the Governor
slip. 1t is not surprising, that men who never act
themselves but through sordid motives, should be I'M
able TO ACCOUNT for the movements of others, but upon
similar grounds. With regard to this paragraph how
ever, there is not a particle of truth either in the pre-
misses, or conclusion, but this deficiency, we imagine,
was considered by the editor of the Journal, as essen
tial to the constitution of good wing authority.
Mr.. Bright has assumed no other responsibility in
this matter, than has been assumed by every other
democrat now in attendance at the seat of government.
We do not know that he has assumed so mucb,-but
if he has, like others, expressed his opinion, that the
election of a Senator by the present Legislature should
be prevented, he has but conceded with a sentiment
which we believe is generally entertained by the demo-
cratic members of both houses, and one that will be
heartily responded to by the people.
For what purpose, was all the unparalleled exer-
tions Of the people during the last contest, but to Sc
cure a Democratic administration Of the General
Government 2 And now, after those e~xertions, SO far
as the object depended upon them, have been success
full, shall a temporary wing majority in the Legisla-
ture,-a wing majority procured in the face of two
decisive tests of the popular democratic majority in
the State by the infamous gerrymandering district law
of 1910, be permitted to set the expressed will of the
people at naught, and wrest from them all the mate
rial fruits of their recent glorious victory! If the
Wing members of the Legislature were governed by
right principles, they would not wish to do so, and
as we happen to have the power to prevent them, we
think it right that that power should be exercised.
Mr.. Bright has done nothing to justify his being
singled out as the especial objecto of Wing malevolence
in reference to this matter. He presides in the Senate
with dignity and impartiality. Nothing but the most
v%irulent party malice could instigate such an attack
upon him, and as to the motives attempted to be in
situated, they are contemplate to the last degree.

Lines TO tho Closing Year.


Farewell, farew ell, thou passing year,
But yet a few hours moe,
And Time will shroud thee with his veil,
And thy brief reign be Ger!
Thus quickly passes life away,
And years as they roll by.
Seem with a mooinfai, waning voice,
To tell Us te must die.
Full many a bright and joyous form
Full many a bcauteous brow
That snil'd and welcomed thine approach,
Is in the cold grave now!
Little they dream'd in summers pri ne,
Their hours were heeting fast;
Or that, upon this worlds sunshine.
They soon must look their Tasti
Alasi alas for those who mourn
Their dearest treasures gone,
Aud miss the sight Of glad'ning eyes
They loy'd TO look upon
A mingled thing thou art, oyesr!
To some with trouble rife,
To others bringing happiness
Too bright 10 last in life.
All blissful is the coming year
To those in early youth
Ere this worlds treachery and deceit
Have daTkened their fair Truth.
TIC such, life seems a smiling plain,
All gaily deckd with fowisi
Alas a ferrous blast ere long
Will shake their ~roseate bowirs.
Yet smile on nOtc ye happy fOIns,
For, bright as life appears.
Soon, far too soon, your hearts will feel
This is a vale of tears.
And yet thy cOulse, 0 passing year!
Has brought few ills TO me;
No broken ties-nO wounded hopes
Mar my tranquility.
What ihen-tho' piercing thoms full Oft
In life's pathway be met,
Shall / repihe while those | love
Are spared to bless me yet

speedily as possible, provided tie same can be effected
without any compromise of the rights, interests, and

Though thus guarded by a Proriso against the COM

after a protracted debate, was rejected, by a vote of

The Dying Year.
BY MRS. L. H. sIGoURNEY.

By INKS. L. II. SlGOIhNE1.
Voice Of the dying year IL hear thy moan,
Like some spent breaker Of the distant sea,
Chahng the feiteTed rock l. this the end
or thy fresh, morning, music, gushing out,
In promises of hope : Have the bright flush
OF Springs young beauty crown'd with budding flowers
The passion vow of Summer, and The pledge
OF faithful, fruitful Autumn, come to this
i see the youngling moon 60 down the west,
The midnight clock gives warning, and its stroke
Must be thy death -knell. Is that quivering gasp
The last sad utteTance Of thine agony
i see thy ~clay-cold fingers strive 10 clasp
Some pTop,-In vain
And so, thou art no more
No more Thy res; is with oblivi0n's years,
Beyond the flood. Yet, when the trump shall sound,
Blown oy the strong archangel, thou shalt wake
From the dim sleep of ages. When the tUmbs
That lock their slumberins tenants, cleave in twain,
Thou shalt come forth. Yea, thou shalt rise again,
And | shall look upon thee-when The dead
Stand before God. But come not murmuTing forth,
Unwilling, like Samuel's summon'd ghost,
To daunt me at the judgment. No-be kind,
Be piliful, bear witness tenderly-
And II thou hast a dread account for me,
Go, dip thy dark scroll in redeeming blood.

Unitca Statcs Senator.

FROM te FRANKLIN Dem0cTdt.
The election of this officer is looked to with much
anxiety, but the mails furnish us nothing to relieve
this suspense. The wings have nominated Joseph e..
Marshall and are much out of humOr because he has
not been elected.
This Is much at variance with their expression
some weeks since: then they wanted the democrats to
have the ascendency in both branches of our National
Legislature simply, because the Will Of the people
had made Mr.. Polk President. But the eight dollars
a day, In preference to the last and best expression of
the popular will, predominates in the office seeking
circle. Had Mr.. Clay been elected, or carried the
State, a Wing Senator should have been chosen, but
as 1t Is, a democrat is the only man that VIII truly
reflect the wishes of Indiana freeman and as the
democrats of the State legislature, are fully sensible
of this fact, we should not be surprised if the whole
matter IS submitted to the people at their next annual
election.
To a party which affects to have all the intelligence
and patriotism, the real will Of the greatest number
is extremely offensive, and should the election of a
Senator be postponed, the old and stale abuse of DEM
ocrats will be revamped and thrown broadcast, over
the State, from the lakes to the Ohio river. The Leg
islature knows what is its duty and will take the re-
sponsibility of performing it.
From the (Lqfayette) Wabash STANDARD.
1t is really surprising that men are found to urge
with so much earnestness, the election of a Senator
during the session of the present corrupt and bargain
ing Legislature especially when the vacancy, which
has not yet occurred, can be filled next winter, with
out leaVlng ue STATE unrepreSented more than q week
at the commencement OF the session Of Congress. No
business of the least Importance can transpire during
that time, to require his presence at Washington.
The truth is, the Wing party ever distrust the popu-
lar sill, and they are well aware that if the election
n referred back to the people, those members now oc-
ling seats under positive instructions to represent
81 of their constituents, will receive a Just re-
The democratic party are not afraid to entrust
- - hands of the people the business which belongs
1; siem-let the expressed will of the people be obey
ed, Is all they ask. That will has been made known
through the ballot box, both in our August and No
yember elections. The miserable and outrageous ger
xymandering of the State by the Wings has secured
that party a nominal majority in the Legislature, it is
true but the people are against them, and they de-
mand to have their voice obeyed.
We are gratihed TO see the democratic press of the
State ss--eakIny out in regard to this matter. All frauds
and impositions meG1tSsed upon the rights Of a ma
jority of the people should meet With immediate aid
prompt exposure.

GrOne of the strongest points in favor of post
poning the election of United States Senator Is, the
fact that each Of the counties of Bartholomew, Boone,
Floyd, Fulton, Marshall, Greene, Owen, Madison,
Montgomery, Morgan and Tippecanoe, gave majorities
for James X. Polk and are represented on the floor of
the two Houses by fifteen tchigs, which if added to the
Democratic column, would be equal to thirty roteS.
The wings claim a majority OF ten, on joint ballot
which, if deducted, would leave tcenty majority for
the Democrats. From this we would have to deduct
a few democratic members, who represent counties
that voted for Clay; but leaving a clear and decided
Democratic majority, if the true will of the people of
the State was expressed by the Legislature; but the
wings laugh in the face of any Democrat who pre-
sumes to talk about the right of the people to instruct
In this particular, or that those who voted for Polk
wish a Democratic Senator to sustain his administral
ton.

ton Transcript of Monday afternoon furnishes
the following additional series Of fires in that
city.
Last night about half past eleven O'Clock, a
number of sheds in or near the third section,
East Boston, occupied by Mr.. Benjamin Pool,

evident intention Of destroying the whole
square including parts of Belknap, South Rus
sell, Rudolph and Garden streets.
At the fire, in the rear of Pitts street a dou-
bic wooden house was nearly destroyed, occu-
pied by Mr.. O. G. Germon, and Mr.. S l..
Woodward, well known to many fromshis con-
nection with Adams s. Cos Express. Mr..
Woodward's part was entirely destroyed and
he has lost nearly all his furniture, and the
clothing of his family.

The alarm quarter before p was caused by
the burning of chimney in the Exchange COT
fee House, Devonshre street. No damage
From O'Clock yesterday the department has
been constantly on the run or hard at work
many of the members are completely exhaust
ed from over exertion. A relay Of men will
