Owe cannot take part in what, with all due defer
ence to the gentlemen engaged in it, we conceive to be
a very foolish controversy now going on between a few
of the friends Of Gen. Lane and Gen. Cass, in this State.
We speak the sentiments of these distinguished gentle
men when we say, that they totally disapprove of this
course, and that any disparagement Of the one is con-
demned by the other. There is no necessity for any is.
sue or dispute between the friends Of these gentlemen in
Indiana, and we isist that such a course meets with nei.
Their their appreciation nor encouragement, and that they
should not be held responsible for unauthorized publica-
tons. Especially does General Lane desire to be I'M
derstood as taking no part, by encouragement or other
wise, in this proceeding. We insist that he shall not be
held responsible for the unauthorized statements of news
paper writers. The Democratic State convention will
appoint delegates to the National convention, and they
will determine for whom the vote of the State will be
cast. The worthy old soldier is contented to abide their
decision .-Madisonian.

auotatians, which are $3.50 and s4.75 net. The i'm

The feeling of buyers and others interested or con.

conviction that the presant rates will not be sustained.
This. however, is mainly predicated upon the surplus

and the continued favorable condition Of the foreign mar
kets, which are well supplied with provisions, and their
harvests. which are abundant and prosperous.

We have no doubt a much larger amount of gold dust
hs been received from California than is represented in
the above statement, but this is sufficient to remove all
apprehensions relative to a drain of specie. As the ont.
ward movement of precious metals has nearly ceased,
and the season for unusually large receipts from Calfor.
MIA has Just arrived, we may look for a rapid increase in
onr supply Of specie between this and the LIST of Janu-
airy, 1852. IL is our impression, that during the next
three months the arrivals Of gold dust from California
will exceed the shipments of specie from this port to all
is leaving a margin for a moderate exploration.
