Gen. Hanna--COuragc--

AS we predicted to our friends Gen. HANNA is to
be the Wing candidate in this county for the Senate.
The signs stuck out "pretty considerably" at the
Market House, in delivering his very short speech
there, few weeks ago. After covertly endeavoring
excite the prejudces Of the Democrats against the
Secretary Of War; for issuing the regulation that no
volunteer should be received under Is or above 40
years of age ahough such mas always been the law)
he lamented that he beyond the age allowed for
service intimating that he could fight like Tro-
JAM if he only permitted. He reminds us of
character (of winch we yet occasionally speci-
men, who threatens his adversary, knocks his fists
together, and boasts Of what he ciH do, if lie only
gets chance, but then looks round, and whispers his
friends to hold him. 1t seems strange that the Gen.
eral didn't know that the limitation only applies TO
the rank and file, and not to officers. No doubt, If
ne had tried, he might have raised company and
commanded t,-perhaps been elected to higher
Office. He was well apprised of that, we presume,
for while he up he thought he might well give
q charitable stab under the fifth rib to Gov. Whicomb.
So he proclaimed the top of his voice. that if the
Goreynor would, like the Governor Of Texas, march
TO the seat of the head Of his troops, he (Gen.
IIanna) would come along close AFTER him. Well,
that's particularly brave, enough. Especially
as the Constitution of Indiana unlike that Of Texas,
prohibits the Governor from commanding personally
in the field, unless he shall be advised to do by n
resolution of the General Assembly" The General
forgot this, though understand he helped to make
the Constitution. Is 1t possible.
! Moral General Hanna don't intend going to
Mexico, but does intend going to the Senate. We
don't think the people will permit him to do the
latter. He has held office long enough.

The Oregon boundary.

On the subject OF the offer recently made by the
British Minister, and the result likely to occur, the
Louisville Democrat has the following sensble re-
marks:
"Slnce the passage of the notice our claim TO the
whole of Oregon is practically obsolete. The coun-
try is solcmny committed, after mature discussion, TO
compromise by the action of both Houses OF Congress
No other Interpretation can be put upon the preamble
and resolution giving the notice. Ii was an offer to
compromise with Great Britain, deliberately made
The terms of the division of the territory are not stat

from the opinions given during the discussion. &C
cordng correspondent these terms are virtually
offered. Our government would stand IN very uh-
favorable position before the world, if the offer was
not now accepted. We believe that Great Britain OBJ
tains by this treaty what she has title to, and we
believe that representatives, in Congress insrePre

ed a compromise but certain it is they would misre-

settlement, they should not now redeem IT. However
important our claims be to Oregon north Of forty -nlne
they are but drop In the bucket when compared

for granted that the President will submit the offer OF
England to the coordinate branch of the treaty-nak

try, the individual views Of Senators, are not now
the question. The point is, what is this government
bound by It's acts 10 do Ii is obvious to all that
the bargain Is already made substantially. We have
virtually told England that do insist upon the
whole; we have declared willingness to divide
and invited her to renew negotiation with the highest
assurance Of a compromising spirit on our part. 1t
her advances repealed by claim TO the
whole, tenacious adhcrance TO trlfles, it would

The bark Texidore, Capt. Major, arrived at New
Orleans on the 9Th, from Tobasco, whence she sailed
on the 2Sth ut. Great excitement prevailed at To-
basco among the resident Americans, in consequence
of the reception of an order for an embargo on all
American ressels. An attempt was Immediately made
to capture Capt Majors vessel, and at the same time
80 Mexican soldiers were placed in charge of New
Orleans schooner There were 400 Mexican soldiers
in Tobasco. Capt. Major was guarded to hs vessel
by 20 of his friends and the soldiers afraid to

MIR. NIarshaIl's Circular.

The Indiana Journal asks a matter of justice to
MIR. Marshall, that those papers which may have CO.
pied the Beckwith article in the Lagrange Democrat
should publish his circular, and says that although
they may wish TO beat him for Governor, they cannot
desire to rob him of his good name at the same time.
Very wcll-fair play is jewel. Suppose the wing
papers that abused Gov. Whitcomb for pordonng the
Rev. Mr.. Weinzuphein, who was clearly innocent,
should set the example of restoring to both OF those
gentlemen the good name of which they cruelty and
unjustly sought TO deprive them, by publishing our
article the subject in the State Sentinel OF March
g. 1915 If the Journal or any other paper will set
the example, we will send them the article. We
mention this as only one instance among many. IN
til it is done we think they hardly prefer the
above request with good countenance. We espe-
cially commend this suggestion to the Cambridge
Rcvee, which has thought proper to resusclate that
matter although its wing co-laborer and editor, D.
p. Holloway, with majority Of wing Senators, and
many leading wings throughout the State, who cam
not be suspected of any Partially for Catholics were
yet so overpowered with the evidence of the limo
cence Of the Rev. gentleman that they united with
the far greater number of democrats in pettonng for
his pardon. What says the Journal If 1t will pub
lish refutaon of ISLANDERS against democrats we
will repay in the same way, and with heaplng mea-
sure.
