The State of Indiana is thoroughly democratic
and conservative in her representation in the State
and Federal Councils The following is the conclu-
sion of the message Of her able Governor
Throughout the past year, peace and harmony be-
tween the various sections of the Union have been
gradually and firmly established. The great dis
turbng questions which for time threatened re-
suits. the ultimate issue of which could FORE
see, have been put to rest, and with it the heart
burnings and sectional denominations which it
brought in its train Our present tranquility is the
best evidence of the wisdom and prudence of the
measures of adjustment adopted by the last Con-
gress.
9 The high conservative ground maintained by our
State, is shown in the fact that support no man
who favors agitation. Our people want peace, and
they esteem no sacrifice, short of that Of principle
too great to secure it.
Indiana holds him enemy to the we'll being of

waters are assented to- and have been carried out

the Constitution and expressly framed to carry into

to the South we'll to the North, that these

The POLICY OF Non-Interventson.

There can be no doubt the policy Of total noa-in-
tervention in European affairs has been bequeathed
to us by the founders of our republic, but it is
great mistake to suppose as some appear to do thai
it is matter of constitutional obligation, or that
Kossuth in eounselling change of that policy coun
sells any violation of that sacred instrument. It is
matter of policy and expediency, coming to us with
the sanction Of high authority but not that of The
constitution.

TRAvEL.-A correspondent at Grass

diverglng from the Sacramento road TO
the mountains near here, which would
be tributary to one railroad through
Auburn and Centreville, to Nevada.
The travel on these roads would increase
the income to ten million four hundred
