To the Democratic Party.

BY the foregoing notice, it will be perceived that
the junior editor and partner in the late Indana De-
mocrat," has become connected with us in estab-
lishment. The reasons which influenced him in dis
solving his connection with the Democrat" we have
never enqured. Nor have asked of our new
partner either his motives for disseminating
or for entering into the establishment when it was
started We have had say this subject, and
shall never revert to it again unless in sedefeEce
Suffice it to say,(and thanks. hearty thanks TO our
democratic, and even many personal wing friends,)
we have been handsomely sustained. With rapid
ly increasing patronage in the newspaper well as
book and job work, we find ourselves absolutely
bic to besow that due share of personal attention to
the notifications of our extensive Office, desirable
and so necessary. Hence the above arrangement
Mr.. SPANN brings with him character without re.
proach, noted for industry and handsome qualifications
In these respects patrons cannot but valuable
acquisition.
We may add, in this hasty sketch, that in nc
respect will the character Of the paper be changed
regards its views of democratic principles.

J. S. SPAWN.

The "Indiana Democrat" at Indianapolis, has
been discontinued, alleged from different causes,
prominent among which is the absence of A. F. Nor
rison, the editor. Mr. Morrison has the appointment
of Commissary in the Army in Mexico. The Chap
mans have the field of Democracy to themselves
again, and glad of it, although do not wish
to be understood rejoicing at the downfall of the
Democrat; but believe that well conducted
paper can do more than two can, especially where
there is not perfect harmony between them.
The Sentinel is good State paper, and its pros
poets will brighten under these circumstances.-Lar-
rsnceburgh Register.
The generous feelings towards both the Democrat
and State Sentinel gentlemanly expressed, and its
correct conclusion that tone well conducted paper
do than two can especially where there is not
perfect harmony between them" we fully appreciate,
and satisfied that such sentiments will be con-
Cured in by practical printers of both parties More
especially do notice such courtesy, all the cir
cumstances could not be generally known abroad
more particularly those noticed in this days paper
That the arrangement will be beneficial to the Demo-
cratic party we cannot suffer ourselves to doubt and
often before stated by in the Sentinel, when the
Democratic party tired Of our services, we will
retire, perhaps TO humble field, but certainly
not less thankless one.

SENSE AND NoSsENsE.-A remarkable combina-
ton Of these opposite qualities developes itself in one
of the Washington correspondents of the N. Y Jour-
nal of Commerce. For instance, speaking of rein
forcements TO Gen. Taylor's army, he says
"a due portion of the Northern troops ought GER
tany to be called out, because they equally well
suited to the various climates Of Mexico more care
ful, generally speaking, Of their health more will
ingly subjected to military subordinaton and more
resourcefu and skiful in the many arts Of life that
the privations Of camp or march call into use."
Now as to this last qualification, (Which is spoken
of as one of the special characteristics of Northern
troops) it is for which the western population is
Prc-eminenty remarkable. Why, in truth, half our
people, from the cradle to the grave are subjected to
all 1.-THE privations of a camp a march," and are
constantly dependent on their own "resources and
sklif to supply every want-natural artificial ac-
cidental 1t is indeed laughubly absurd to claim su-
Perioriy in these qualities for northern men, a ma
Joriy of whom, most likely, are seldom if ever out of
sight OF the smoke of their own chimnes and that
too, over the pioneers of the West thousands of

habtaion. They have plenty to eat to be sure, and
Tor 1t alone to that very selfsame skill and selreli
ance, represented above to be so necessary re-
quirement for the soldier in Mexico. We wish the
writer could afford to spend a week or two in Indiana
1t he will, we'll agree to feed him daily ON venson
wild turkey, or unadulterated "hog and corn" if he
should prefer the latter
The same writer talks much more sensbly on other
suolects.-for example:
"We hope to obtain, very soon, the official returns
of the American loss at Monterey. Congress will,
of course order the names of the killed and wounded
to be officially published just tribute to their
merits. An order of this kind was passed by Con-
gress in relation to the battles Of the 9Th and 9th but
it is said that ii has not yet been executed.
Congress must do two things at the coming ses-
sion the first is to provide more amply for the
widows and orphans of the officers and killed or
disabled in the service; and provide, by law, for the
promotion of non-commissioned officers and priyates
who have distinguished themselves.
"There is no service in the world which shuts the
road to promotion against the rank and file, except
that OF this Republic; republicansm grants eve
ry little Office for members Of Congress- party lead
ers, and their friends The West Point boys have
done well but am confident that, in all the regi-
ments of the regular army there prvates who are
more competent for command than many of their
officers"

IMPoRTANT.-The armistice between Gen. TAYLOR
and AMPUDA is thus represented by the correspondent
of New Orleans paper:
The line of division between the two armies will
begin at Rinconado and to run through Linares and
San Fernando. Well, do you know what that line is
Nothing less than this: The Rinconado Estate is
west of the great Satillo Pass, where, according to
some, the Mexicans were to crush us, and conse-
queDty has open road to Saltllo, that cannot OPP
pose any impediment TO his onward march. | consider
this great mastery stroke of the American Com
mander, well the armstice which he has granted
to Ampuda. The reasons Of the latter are very plain
After taking possession of the Pass, which is now
within the line his troops must not cross. The army
which has been exhausted by the long march from
Camargo to Monterey. and by the three days hard
fighting, will take an invgorating rest, to enable HIM
to make again a march of nearly 800 miles Of q
complete desert, being the distance between Monterey
and San Luis PotOsi during which no serious resist
ance will be offered to him.
