Personalities of the Press.

We have occasionally been drawn into personal con-
with political opponsns bat have the grathca
ton know that such assaults have always been but the
return for blows given. As the conductor Of public
journal, to impair the usefulness of our
paper by filling its columns with low personalities The
power Of the press should be exerted improve the
morals and cultivate the kindly and social feelings OF
cety. II is natural, when assailed to resist. This we
intend always to do with earnestness, but in respect
fol language The who repels assault by coarse
and vulgar epithets berays his education and lowers
himself in the estimation of all whose good opinions
worth preserving We have been led into these rehec
tons by looking the Indiana Statesman whose Ed
tor has been absent for time but has returned
as his readers will discover, by the low personalities in
the last number.
The Statesman was commenced with the ayowed OBJ.
iect to break down the Sentinel and to "drve Bill
Brown out of the State to use the chaste language Of
DIR. Ellis This he has not yet accomplished We are
an older citizen of the State of Indiana than the Editor
of the Statesman Wehave placed our Jacob staff here,
and here we will remain Not to handy epithets to
degrade our paper into low sewer of vindictive per-
sonates but indicate truth and combat error when
aver and wherever find it. In this plain path OF duty
we mean 10 walk. The assaults of the Statesman and
its sympathiser the Madison Courier neither change
our course or disturb the eqnanimity of our temper.
That readers may know what sort OF competitor
we have in the Auditor of State copy the following
from the last number In future we shall adopt this
course of noticing his assaults Onr readers can then
draw the contrast and Judge where the error lies:
CARRIER apologies the defendants of Judas Iscarot
for having supposed Bill Brown descended from that
notorious character He thinks he done Judas injustice
He is of the opinion that Brown came in the direct
line from the Thief who Knocked the Savior the cross
and who was crucifed at the time" Very likely
Now whether were thieves robbers
has nothing do with the question at issue. We claim
to be tried on our merits and shall inquire
who were the of assailans They were no
doubt better than their descendants But only alluded
this show readers and the Democracy of Indiana
the desperate efforts that made to break us down
We have however the consolation to know that each
mail brings the substantial evidence of the popularity
Of our paper For these favors we are grateful. In
times past when assaed by the tongue of SANDER the
people TO rescue and showed their confidence
at the ballot-box.

Pitcber Presentation.

The following article from the Louisville Journal ex
hibits most favorable with the snappish,
snarng, ill-natured and Liberal articles, which have
appeared in the Brookvie American:
We have read with much interest account of the
proceedings the occasion of the presentation OF sill
YER pitcher Hon. R. d. Owen by the ladies Of Indiana
We stated some months ago that the ladies oil that State
designed comforting such honor Mr. Owen, as an &C.
acknowledgement Of his efforts in the State constitutional
convention TO secure to married women independent
rights IN property as has been done IN New York. Penn
syvana and other States The presentation took place
the 25th umo, in the State House in Indianapolis
in the presence of immense and very interested
semblage. Judge Smith, OF the Supreme Court, pres-
ded, and Professor Larrabee OF the Indiana Asbury
University made the presentation address invitation
of the ladies.
The occasion is said TO have been oneof the most in
terestng witnessed in the State. The addresses
were all able and appropriate. We have read Mr.
Owens Speech and consider it emnenty suited to thu
occasion and very credtable him. Whenever he
aside from politics and the domains Of literature
science he exhibits all those rich traits of culture
which grace the minds OF genuine scholars. The ad
dress before full of classic beauty and proves it:
author TO be gentleman Of fine taste and extensive
mental accomplishments. Ii is but indeed that
find one who is a politician that has the power pro-
duce such evidences of study and refined taste Mr.
Owens address embodies. 1t is highly ingenious in it,
argument potent and graceful in its logic scholarly AND
dgnifed in It's Tone and replete with beauty in all it,
parts.
The pitcher which was in this city few days ago
is of the most beautiful made in this country
1t manufactured by w E. Rose, of New York, anC
reflects the greatest credit his Itweghs forty
four ounces, sixteen inches high and is most richly
chased The handle is in the form Of the stem OF a vine
and is very close imitation of 1t separates
into two branches it approaches the body of th,
pitcher and spreads the surface in vine leaves
lunches Of grapes The edges of the base and the spou
formed of the tendrs of the vine. The effect is
ceedingIy beautiful and no can look the pitche
and admire both the exquisite design and super
execution.
The pitcher was purchased with money contribute,
by the ladies of Indiana being permitted
tribute more than one dollar. II shows how grateful
the sex feel toward those who jealous and able il
the advocacy Of their rights. Mr.. Owens effort did no
quite succeed but have doubt that in the
of few years his proposition will become the law of tn
State The presentation of this pitcher and the nircum
stances connected with it will certainly hasten that day

The National Convention.

We clip the following from the Boston Post, although
intended for the meridian of Massachusetts many of its
suggestions will not be inapplcable to this latitude
The democracy of the Union will doubtless hold their
national convention at Baltimore in May next The
basis of that convention in the nomination Of its candi
date will unquestionably be the Bau ore platform Of
le4S, with its direct practical sppcatio 10 the support
of the compromises for the adjustment Of the slave agi
taon in Congress. The different tons Of the UnioE
can unite only the support of thu compromises
whole. The north take what like. and reject
the only in that CONFRONT which was accent
able to the south The south cannot adhere to that
measure alone, and repudiate the rest.
The Baltimore platform covers the whole ground Of
the compromises II deea.es that all efforts of the
abotonss others made TO induce Congress 10 inter-
ere with questions OF slavery take ncpient steps
in relation thereto, Calculated lead the most
alarming and dangerous consequences and that all such
efforts have inevitable tendency endanger the
bty and permanenc of the Union and ought not 10 be

compromises oil the last Congress- repldiation OF that

in their power and then they let him sink where Arnold

Brown" desires him under any circumstances.
