for taking the vote, but thus far successful
y resisted by TIE alliaace. The bill for
the establishment Of Constitutional Treas
ury has passed the House, been sent to the
Senate. and BY that body referred to the

$3.50 GOO to Indiana, and $3.50, 900 10 IL

Enough has already been heard from to
tell the general result. There viii be =
very large majority Of Democratic in the
convention, sufficiently large Cor all prac-
teal purposes. But there Il very iig-
nifcant moral lesson to BE learned from this
election.
In Des Moines. under pretenss that
they did not expect to run, much less elect
any one to the convention, the wings sue
ceeded in getting one delegate. This was
all they dared, since . larger demonstra-
ton would have aroused the democracy
and put the wings to total fight.
In those counties where there was :
wing opposition, cemented to all the fc-
lions, odds and ends which could be got
up, such a. Lee, Van Buren,, Johnson, SC.
the triumph Of the democrats was COM
plete. In Dubuque county, the democrats
appear 10 have been humbugged worse
than we in Des Moines.
The moral Is this, that we always get
whipped when there is apparently no bat
tie. In other words, in time Of . general
apathy, the democracy is always in danger
lin such times we have always been over
thrown. But when storms have lowered,
when we have been assailed BY the mon
eyed powers Of both worlds, when the Lion
has been hungry, and The Furnace het sew.
en- times hotter than ever-in such times
has the democracy came out Of the ordeal
unframed, not the smell Of ERE on theil
garments. .s... 49, ae,s.

Increase Of Military Force i'm

1t cannot and ought not to escape notice
that the military forces in Canada have
been augmented since the arrival Of Lord
Cathcart in Canada. The following in
formation is dednced from private letters.
No doubt the United States Government
is or ought to be aware of all that is ioing
on the frontiers. The black troops dis
banded in lSal, 1000 strong have been re-
organized and are now again in pay. 10 0
infantry have been raised at Toronto, and
are now fully organized. The officers are
composed of veterans, late halt pay officers
Of the line. One battery OF artillery, COM
pleted. One troop Of cavalry under Maj.
General Jones, 200 strong. All the mi
litia on the northeast frontier has been as
senbled, drafted and placed under half
pay oficers--amount oil this force not
known. The first battalion Of regiment
1900 strong, has arrived from the West
indies since LIST March. All the troops
enumerated are exclusive Of the SIX regu-
lar regiments Of the line occupying the
garrison Of East and West Canada. The
militia Of both Canadas have been careful
y enrolled, and all names not available
stricken out and all legal exempts. The
number held liable 10 actual duty is 1877
500. All the forts in Canada are in the
very best repair, and arrangements are
being made that will insure an ample con.
