Democrat in the summer of 1884. His share was
then re-sod to Morrison, who acted as joint editor
till the following spring, when in 1885, he rented his
interest to LUcIUs H. EMMoNs of Noblesvle for the
term of two years. Emmons remained as joint edi-
tor and publisher with Bolton only till the next spring,
when his contract rescinded, and Morrison again
took hold with Bolton in 1886, which last arrange
ment lasted sir lceeks
About this PERIOD JOHN LIVINGSTON and V. c. CUL-
Ley proposed publishing paper in opposition to
the Democrat Livingston declared in favor of R.
M. Johnson for the Presidency, in preference to Mr.
Van Buren, and supposed to have the encourage
ment of Gov. Noble in the projected enterprise who
had interests of his to promote indirectly by the
maneuvre. But this movement was checkniated by
another sale of Morrison's interest in the Democrat
to Livingston, and thus Bolton & LIVINGSTON be-
came Its owners and editors.
In the spring of 1885, Bolton sold his share to Liv-
ingston, who printed the Democrat two years and
failed
The Office then fell into the hands of Dunlap g. Pat
tson. 1t was temporarily revived and conducted by
Bolton & Pattison, EDITORS during the campaign
of IS4o supported in part by individual contributions
for paper, &C., and was thus continued till June,
1871, when it gasped its last BREATH and died.

Lawrenceburgh Beacon's Nomination.

The Political Beacon recommends Robert Dale Owen
for United States Senator That he has the necessary
talents, and qualifications will be readily conceded
but we regret to see an editor of Democratic paper
trying to get up little jealousies, about localities
and advising members of the Legislature to not har
monize in their action This policy has broken down
party in several countless and must 1t be extended
to the State !! We hope not. When the Legislature
meets, the friends of the Southwest will go into
Convention with their other brethren, and doubt
will cordially support the choice of the majority.
When there was danger of improper action In the
Senate last winter, the Pocket was all right" and
men who stand firm such times, alluded to- are not
going to be coaxed into actions of dscord to CRAFTY
the ambition some men have for contrariness. Who
the Senator will be, is unknown; give one truly
sound in Democratic faith, of respectable abilities,
and moral reputation and we care not where he shall
reside, whether he belongs to our friend, Major
Dunn, or the Major belongs to him. We think we
not mistaken in the opinion, that MIR. Owen and
his friends will oppose such doctrine is promulgated
on this occasion, by the Beacon, which, to our view,
as impolitc as it is anti-Democratc. The correct
rule is, good Democrat cannot reside, politically, in
bad place. "-BroOkriae Democrat.
This is all good doctrine as we understand it. We
have no respect for the motive which influenced the
Beacon in mentioning Mr.. Owens name in this con-
nection, because we believe it to hebased sheer
selfshness, Jealousy, and palry desire of revenge
for personal disappointment on the part OF the Beacon
young friends and relations. 1t no doubt thought 1t
made mastery in thus using MIR. Owens name,
punish those who thought too contemptuousy of IT
to make any attempt to purchase its friendship but
it will find itself altogether mistaken. The Beacon
men do not h7pou Robert Dale O1cen. We do; and
we know that he is the last now living in the
State, whom they could induce by any anticipation Of
political preferment to violate his allegiance to Just
party discipline in the the slightest degree whatever.
We the words Just party discipline in their highest
and most honorable sense-meaning no more nor less
than entire acquiescence in the wishes of majority,
and an observance of the honorable obligations which

The Water Witch.

The Water WITCH so long and anxiously expected,
has arrived at last, and brings tdings of war, but
mighty big threats the part of Our Mexican friends.
She sailed from Vera Cruz on the the 9th instant and
arrived here to-day.
We have received regular files of newspapers from
Vera Cruz up to the 4th inst and from the city of
Mexico TO the Both ult.. both inclusive.
War was not actually declared; but private letters
from Vera Cruz state that tie general opinion was
that hostilities would certainly ensue.
The Congress still occupied with the bill to de-
clare war, and raise S15000,0OO by loan.
Weare indebted to the kindness of a commercial
house for the following letter from Vera Cruz:
"VERA CRUZ, August d, 1S45.
"The differences existing between the United
States and this country occupy at present the public
mind and may eventually lead to WARRIOR which pur-
pose, this government asked appropriation of Sl5,
100000. Permission has been granted to contract
loan to that amount 1t will be very difficult, how
ever, to raise that sum. We are therefore still in
hopes that the difficulties in question will be peacea-
bly, adjusted, and the commercial intercourse remain
undisturbed."

OREGON.

We would call attention to the proceedings of the
Oregon Convention, recently he'd at Wayne county,
ILL.,, published in this paper, from the Wabash Demo-
crat. This is the second large meeting held in
Southern Illinois on that subject There is stated
to have been between vo and three thousand persons
present. 1t was not wholly political, and great
enthusiasm and harmony prevailed.
The resolutions appear to cover the whole ground,
and were unanimously adopted by reclamation.
They are right in principle, right in fact There can
more doubt of our title to lat 81 deg 40 min than

The Greencastle Patriot of August 9, contains the
following. We think its censure of the Administra-
ton rather premature, as it has hardly had time fully
to develop its Intentions even in The matter which is
the burden of the Patriots complaint We think also
that the remark in relation to Gen. Cass and " Bill
Allen is in bad taste and spirit. AT the time the
appointment made it stated that the position
occupied by Gen. Cass, was preferred by him.
The President of the u States is but the tenant only
Of the power ana patronage which he bestows-tbe
freehold belongs to the people. Not to the friends of
Calhoun in the South, Wright in the North but to
the hoe people. Justice to the owners require. and
prudence would seem to dictate, that it should be
distributed by the peoples tenant in proportion to
numbers. True the local Offices of each State have
been disposed of, as we suppose, among the worthy
and deserving of each State, but as for the rest the
Administration must be msinforned of the wish and
feelings of Its friends West and Northwest OF the
Ohio 1t must be that the Administration has been
informed, that this vast district of country has no
pride to CRAFTY or that they have men with whom
is safe prudent to do it, 1t cannot be- that any
sane man can suppose that as get the Northwest has
received any rent for her share in the inheritance,
unless indeed the Vice President considered that the
making Gen. Cass play :" second fiddle " to Bill Allen
on the Committee of Foreign affairs to CRAFTY
the old Hunkers, shall be so considered.
We repeat again. what said last week-we
believe Col. Polk when be went on to Washington
meant do right and yet hope that he will carry
out that determination, but it is time now to begin
{" the election is ouer" But we want no more prom
ises made, that the administration may deem 1T a
virtue to violate and needfu to refuse any and all

The Next President.

The Richmond Jefersonian under the above caption,
gives the following manly and judicous article. 1t
is written in true Democratic spirit, and commends
itself to the attention of ALL And we take this
sion to say once for ALL that if General Cass should
fairly receive the nomination of the regular Democratic
National Convention and we are living, not shall
be ahead of us in zeal in his support, with whatever
of ability we may possess. But in common with his
true friends we deprecate the idea of seeing chickering's
and jealousies brought about by premature nomina
tion, and generally by those who only desire to be
master spirits - after his election.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Our friend of the Lawrenceburgh Beacon has raised
the name of Gen. Cass, at the mast head, as his
candidate for the next President. The newspaper,
proposed be published Indianapolis to advocate
the claims of the same gentleman. Ii done IN the
right spirit, there is no improperly nor harm in
expressing preference this subject; but If this
is taken 10 produce division, from desire of
being the master spirits in the canvass OF lS4S,
and of the spoils that may be to be distributed after
success 1t is wrong.
We take it for granted a National Convention will
be in due time held and will make nomination
which will be- supported by the Democracy. Who
the nominee of that Convention is to be, are not
curious now to know-we presume he will be a man
fit for the station and that will be sufficient.
The next Democratic candidate, will, we presume,
be Northern man, of course. This, we take to be
the understanding. Such being the case, we presume
the choice will be between Gen. Cass Silas Wright,
Geo. III. Dallas, and James Buchanan individually,
we are for Gen. Cass, and presume he will be the
choice and receive the vote of Indiana; but he is
Western man, and the last two Presidents have been
from the West-Harrison and Polk. The East will
have strong claims this score, and we ought to be
prepared to support without prejudice, the nominee
We do not believe the Wings will run man. The
party to be utterly routed. If they can induce
some Democrat to run against tie nomination of the
Democracy, they will support him. The Natives
have killed Judge Mclean, by endorsing him, and we
know not who the Wings have left.
In regard to Gen. Cass we consider the idea an
absurd one. that it is necessary to establish new
paper at indianapolis in his behalf. No Democratic
paper in the State will oppose him if nominated.
The Sentinel will not; and we presume when the
time comes to honorably and canddy but with proper
moderation, to express first choice, that choice by
the Sentinehswill be for Cass. We doubt not, we
have said, indiana is for Glass; but Indiana will give
her vote for the nominee Of the National Convention

MORAL INFLUENCE OF SHADE TREES. - Nothing

moral sentiment, as well refinement, In city or
country, than streets and dwellings shaded by orna-
mental trees. 1t is indeed questionable, whether a
few dollars can be expended in any other way, TO con-
tribute so much to the improvement OF TASTE as well
as for the comfort and satisfaction of the whole COM
munity, as in planting such trees How grateful to
the eye and soothing TO the spirit, in bright sunny
day. if instead of the glare of constant succession
of brick walls the side walks of city streets were
all lined by rich variety of beautiful foliage. And
what an amount of innocent and healthful pleasure
as well as elevation of moral feeling must the ex-
hbition of such foliage afford to the tenant OF ever
peaceful home in the country, and to the thousand
passing travellers how much of the unpleasantness of
summer travel might be relieved, and what an i'm
press of beauty and moral grandeur might be given
to American scenery and American character, by
leaving OF planting such of useful and ornament
al trees along all the ten thousand avenues OF the
nation. This then is the season, swiftly passing
away for securing from the forest abundant supplies
of these ornaments and comforts, which, like the

all engaged together in good cause Jointly and
severaly owe to one another. Mr. Owen never would
in any manner be guilty Of intriguing for place or
station himself would he knowingly permit others
to intrigue for him. He never would OCCUPY seat
even in the United States Senate, for one moment,
which was procured and polluted by either personal
or political dishonor.
The Brookvile Democrat therefore, viii not find
itself mistaken in supposng that Mr.. Owen will not
suffer his to be used for the sinister purposes of
the Lawrenceburgh or any other clique. 1t was the
firm conviction of his integrity in this respect, that
restrained us from noticing the original suggestion in
the Beacon.
We are not sorry that Mr.. Owen has been named
for the Senate by the Beacon He is responsible
for the motives of that paper, nor for what we Ls
said or may say on the subject But are gladbs
has been named and hope lis merits as well as those
of every other who has been may be named for the
station, viii be fairly weighed by those who are
to make the choice Il : only upon the ground of
merit that the selection should be made. The station
is of too Honorable and exalted character to be
otherwise bestowed-far important to be made the
subject of barter, intrigue and corruption.
