Should Mr.. Meredith his deputy rush into the Office
of Mr. Brown, with almost GREATNESS haste, and in
forming him that negress with her infant in her
arms'-lugitves from labor-was lodging about in the
alleys of Indianapolis, eudng his grasp, command him
in the of the laws OF the United States, the
Of the free and the home of the brave render him
assistance the patriotism and democracy of the Sent
mel editor mil ht impel him TO the service. He might
covet the glory of thus saving the Union. But Mr.
Brown is an exception.-TrEe Democrat.
This is not supposable case. Mr. Meredith is able
to execute all process that is placed in his hands, if moi
resisted by the mob. But when you attempt treasona
bly, resist the execution of the law then ready
good CITIZEN to aid in maintaining its supremacy
If you and your party permitted with high hands
defy the authority of law, and forcbiy resist
cution, then is all law all government and all union
an end.

There is singularity in politics, which the New Al
bany Ledger overlooks, viz, "hat those who least
important always noisy" Iii worth while
mnding the rawlings of the Browns" They in
troduce matter into the Democratic faith Fight
ing such issue with the Sentinel is necessary, af
the Democracy through the press othe State
decided against any such experimentation COur
Ter.
Having, with the assistance Of our brethren of the
press killed the wretched humbug attempted be fas
tened upon the democratic creed by the Browns, -as
it is every very dead all that remains for to do, af
ter the mourners (Which few indeed) sh. have
ken last look the CHASTITY corpse is put under
the ground to prevent it from injecting the surrounding
sphere.-Nelv Albany Ledger.
What was the new matter which we attempted to in
troduce into the Democratic creed What is the
wretched humbug, which these two valiant knights
have killed so dead .4dherance to the compromise
measures This the new we spoke of. Time
will decide whether these intellectual giants have killed
this great question with the silly cry of humbug The
people of Indiana the ballot box will determine who
and what the humbugs Gentlemen need not expect
escape the issue by this cry. They will have to face
the music.

Our Democratic friends throughout the State not
forget their anxiety about the Congressional nominal
tons that on our next General Assembly will devolve
Legislative duties of far Importance than anything
which likely to be transacted at Washington 1t is
the local State Legislation which Immediately feel
and in which the great mass of the people directly
interested. The new Constitution will be adopted by
very large majority Indeed, if take the press
any indication Of public sentiment, there will be scarcely
any opposition. There provisions in it which
we do not entirely approve, but whole it is infinitely
superior present Constitution and the question
presented is, whether this is perfect instrument
but whether better than the present Presented
in that view think there very few who will hest
in their choice. The 18th article which is the
clause the subject of free negroes, will with
very determined opposition but its rejection adoption
will affect the remainder of the Constitution The
next Legislature will be required to amend and remodel
the laws suit this frame work which will
be very important duty: duty which will require the
best talent of the country Laws should be few plain
simple and uniform All local laws will be at an end
uniformity in FUTURE characterize all legislation
This will require county and township organization
and laws correspond with provisions of the new Con-
stitution This vital question: and trust the peo
pie will be aroused its Importance. Let the best
tried and faithful be selected candidates and see
that they elected. The April elections now al
hand Get together and talk the NATTER seectyou
delegates and prepare to hold county Conventions
Frown down demagogues who would raise plank road
county seat whiskey other issues to lead your minds
away from the important practical Legislation required
at the session. In Democratic counties friends
will, matter of course, elect Democrats. In whie
counties hope the BEST most udicOus, and praetica
men, will be selected. We desire see the Legisla
Democratic, but sprinkle Of the opposition will d.
no harm. The best not injured by a LITTLE

The following extract is from the Phla. Leger. By

Up to the present period hundred thousand appIi-

force has only been able to issue between seven and
eight thousand declarations received in De-
tober and early in November. Some time, therefore

Franking Privilege.

The Louisville Courier complains that Senators Turney
and Borland have abused their franking privilege by
sending large amount Of free matter through the
mails. Now presume that neither of these Senators
have violated abused their official privilege. The
fault in the law and not in those who exercise right
clearly conferred them The law authorizes members
Of Congress to send all letters not weighing two
free of charges This includes all speeches
well written communications. 1t also authorizes
the rankng Of all documents printed by order Of either
House Of Congress and all books purchased by order Of
Congress in either House without regard to weight
There will be yet least three hundred thousand bound
volumes which the members Of the late Congress are
entitled 20 and which they have not received which
pass free through the mails. The sacks which the
editor refers doubt put up the folding room
in the Capitol and directed the Senators named and
Of public documents. Under the late postage
law six hundred thousand dollars is appropriated to pay
for this free matter In England kept and
the exact amount paid out Of the contingent fund.-
There enjoys the ranking privilege the
Queen.
