THE ACQUISITION OF LoUIsIANA.-The
Paris Correspondent Of the National In
telligencer, ROBERT WALSH, Esq, notices
in his last letter the fourth voIame OF
Theirs History of the Consulate aud the
Empire, just published. The following
passage is quoted from il:
When a renewal Of the war with Eng.
land seemed no longer doubtful, all the
colonizing dreams of the First Consul van
ished. Ills resolution in respect TO Lou
isiana was instantly formed. | will not
attempt to keep, (said he to one Of his
| Ministers) a provinces which would not be
secure in our hands, which, perhaps, would
enibroil me with the Americans, or create
GOODNESS on their side. On the contra.
ry, | will turn it to account to attach them
TO me, 10 create quarrel between them
and the English, and will raise up for Eng.
land enemies who will one day revenge
US, if we should not be able 10 revenge
ourselves. My resolution is settled. A:
the Americans have no territory TO give
me in exchange for Louisiana, / will sci
it to them for sum that may pay the ex
penses of an extraordinary armament a
gainst herself"
/ thus adds the historian, " did tht
Americans acquire from France that vas
region which has completed their sway
over North America and rendered then
masters of the Gulf of Mexico for tn,
present and all the future. Thus, they
owe their birth and greatness as a nation
to the long struggle of France agains
England; their independence, to the frs
period of that struggle, their territorial
expansion TO the second"
Mr.. Walsh suggests that we should ulti
mately haved achieved independence an
| possessed ourselves of Louisiana withou
French cooperation; yet adds, but W
should acknowledge the benefit of Garlic
and more certain results" Bal. american

PeasIee,s communication.

We publish in another column communication
from VIM ]. Peaslee. Though its coarseness and
vulgarity does not surprise us we are sure that
some of readers who have not been able to Justly
appreciate Mr.. Peaslee uiA be surprised-epecially
when they reflect that person of little sef-re-
sPect to say nothing Of good breeding, is the incum-
bent of the honorable Office of President Judge of the
9th Judicial Circuit of Indiana. 1t is one of the evils
of partyism however, for which it will be difficult
perhaps to find remedy, that base men, through
its influence are sometimes placed in stations which
they only capable of disgrocing. Notwithstand-
ing the tender of our columns of which he speaks in
the beginning Of bis communication, and which, BY
the way is the only respectable part of tive should
have been justified, perhaps in refusing to dele our
columns with Mr. Peaslees despumation by virtue of
the standing rule of all editors which demands the
observance in some degree OF the rules of common
decency and civility. But in addition to the dspo-
sition to estop him from resort to the clap-trap
cry of refusal to hear him in his own defence,
did we refuse to give place to his wordy conglom-
GRAFTON of impotent wrath. we desire to let our
readers see, by testimony under his own hand, how
exactly and justly we described him when we said
of him in chapter K. of the Mysteries A" Though
Judge, far as learning goes either in law
or literature, he is not above mediocrity: his tai
ents are on a par with his requirements and would
not be more than sufficient for a fourth rate country
editor
This is the hdrsheSt thing have said of Peaslee
and it said, not maliciously but merely to de-
scribe him truly and justly. His communication
win satisfy every intelligent reader of the truth of
estimation of the man, and substantiate most full
w thus much Of the articles of which he complains
We do not see that Mr.. P's communication, lengthy
it is, calls for any further comment from He
pleads Not Guilty, to statements we have made in
relation to him which of to be expected.
But it is all general denial, without argument
and without proof. Its personal abuse of us is not
worthy of notice. 1t may GO for VIII at it will
fetch.
But we have this much to sa5 in conclusion. Mr.
Peasee must be little more economical in the of
,cords and learn to express himself little more cor
csey, if he expects us to print his communications
We are not in the habit of giving the statements
in dozen different forms of expression in the same
article, nor we afford him space enough to do it.
wasted in that way. And, if it would be Just as
agreeable to him. we would beg leave respectfully to
suggest the propriety of his restraining himself as
much is convenient, in the of abusive epithets
until the conclusion of his ucubratons on condition
of which, will then agree, perhaps, to print them
for him in an ertrG,'' which he distribute for
his own benefit when and how he peases.

WING NToraIitY.

The Peoples Press, wing paper published at Craw-
fordste has the following relative to the election Of
a United States Senator
Our advice would be- that, in order to retaate up
on the Locos for their rascay in refusing to go into
an election last winter, that the Whlgs- they can
not prevent the selection of Loco foco in any other
fair way-resign their seats, and return to their re-
spective homes.
We reed not utter one word of comment on such a
revolutionary, if not scoundrey, sentiment as the
above 1t must meet with whitening rebuke from
the honest of all parties. But desire ask if a
Senator had been elected last year, if he would not
have held or taken his seat direct violation OF the
Constitution of the United States, the Supreme Law

INTERNATIONALLY

The Madison Courier Of the LIST inst saws. SHE
shipment Of wheat from this place points above us
on the river, amounts TO something over one
thousand bushels daily And that paper also re-
grets very properly, that such is the fact and that
the wheat Is not manufactured in that city,
such is the case here. We have not one half mills
enough IN this section Of the State There is, more
over plenty of water power to be had and situated
as is Central Indiana, in one Of the finest wheat
growing countries in the world it is indeed wonder
full that enerprslng persons cannot be found who will
take advantage of these circumstances. Weare now
sending away, informed BY those who ought
to be good Judges, more than half of our surplus
wheat This goes to other points, where it is manu.
featured at profit which might well be kept at
home. Our mills incompetent to manufacture
the whole; and even what they do manufacture they
can hardly get to market, for want of barrels. And
this leads us to say, that we should have large
number of coopers in addition to what we have at
present
Such being the facts noar, what viii be the case in
less than two years hence, when population business
and their consequent products viii unquestionaby be
doubled by the completion Of the railroad We will
only add, that we hope to see nec mills erected as
soon as may be. We desire to the number of our
mechanics especially coopers and carpenters largely
increased, with plenty of work. We desire to see
energetic of capital go ahead in these matters,
and the rest follows as a consequence.

from memory all the Offices that A. F. Morrison has
held sought, in hasty article in last. One
friend says that in addition to what we named, he
was also candidate for the Legislature in 1910.
Another, that A. f. Morrison has really been n
regular candidate for Common Councilman, and was
most distressingly defeated!! Would you believe

danapolis about the time proposed for the State Con-

good reasons for its proposition, and second the

The Democracy of Rush County, as viii be seen in
another column declare their stfong preference for
Gen. Cass the next Presidential candidate. This
is the right cdy to begin those things Let the PeO

hope that every County Convention will make SINH

Will he do it!

Judge Poaslee informed the people some months
since, that he intended to resign his seat OH the bench
on account of his health. Why don't he do so! Or
was it all CANNON, for effect! Mark this. He will
not resign until he gets chance for better office
and we don't believe he ever intended to do SO. 1t
would be gratifying many, and some think, it would
further the ends of justice, if he would perform his
promises.
