D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
TINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
lustrious in the ice of the country. Every por-
ton Of the work will receive the most careful sten-
ton and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF The Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits tor National Gal
cry, and those which are being engraved for this
work believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment: OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established need any
reaomme nda,ion His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living conntenance.
The ORA wings and engravings Of DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior TO those OF the
best artists Of London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will he exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper l6 by q ,ches made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
Of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
lame tnroug npU' the nauon racn OF tne grcdt de-
partmcnts OF life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ument to the great men Of the Republic. whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encourage ment and aid in commendable
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress OF American AIT, and by grouping the
illnstrous OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place IL
beyond the reach Of most of our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

The New State House.

The Annual Report of the State House
Commissioners shows that S6S, 1888 of the
$4,000 appropriated for the prosecution
of the work on the building by the act of
March %, 1850, have been expended, and
that an additional appropriation of $780,
900 is asked to prosecute the work the
work the present year. About 81 convicts
are now employed in cutting stone and as
laborers in the State House yard. The Re-
port of the Architect states that fhe work
was commenced in the Spring with only
about 25 convict stone cutters, and during
the season of the cholera free stone cutters
could not be obtained. Notwithstanding
these delays, the massive building has been
raised l44 feet during the season, its whole
height above the original surface of the
ground being now nearly 80 feet. In the
interior the piers are ready to receive the
arches which are to support the floors o! the
next story. The architect states that the
whole of the arches Of the present story may
be turned and the walls raised say % feet
addition in height, or the top Of the present
pilasters, in another year, and greater
part Of the building put under roof by the
end of second season. The gigantic pile
will be an ornament to Columbus, and an
bonor.to the second State in the Conf.dera.

Coed Democratic Doctrine.

The Secretary Of the Interior has boldly
and fully met the old whig doctrine ofhigh
duties being beneficial to the farming and
planting interests. In his report just sub.
miled he recommends the establishment of
q seperate bureau, for the advancement and
protection of the agricultural interests, de-
claring emphatically and argumentatively,
that "a tariff can do but little directly, to
benefit thstarnaers or plamtsrs.' Has not
the democratic party always contended
that high tariffs were only useful to the
manufacturer-that they built up privileg-
ed class at the expense Of all olhers-and
has it not been always the whig doctrine
that these high tariffs were the very best
thing for the farmers, as they made home
market for his products! But the Home
Secretary says they do but little to benefit
either the farmer or the planter Thus it
is, that one by one the W higs abandon their
own and cherished doctrines, and adopt the
principles of the democracy. We'll, we
are glad to see them at last opening their
eyes to the true interest ofthe country, and
hope they may continue to improve until.
there shall be no creed known but the
great democratic doctrine of the greatest
good to the greatest number, Baltimore
Argus. ~

Ranking I'm Indiana.

The Indionapolis Sentinel, thus speaks
of the settlement Of the Banking question
in the Indiana Constitutional Convention of
that State. God preserve US from such
compromises" as this. This double head
ed Banking will be the death of that State
yet:-Statesman. "
3The compromise section, providing that
banks may be established under general
law founded on ample security; and also,
that bank and branches may be establish
ed without such collateral securities-the
branches to be mutually liable for the debts
of each others circulation, &c. passed the
Convention on yesterday morning, by de-
cided majority. This will enable free banks
to be established under general law; and
State bank and branches to be chartered
on the plan of our present State institution
but without State stocks, unless the Legisla-
ture should see proper TO invest our trust
funds. 1t is supposed the principles of The
compromise will be carried out, as the votes
subsequently taken, seem to indicate, and
the protraeted bank discussion is now near
ly at an end.''
"Compromise" seems to be the game o.
the times, and is one in which the cause O
justice and right seldom, if ever, make ;
point. Yet every great question must b.
settled by COMPROMISED And, pray, wba
do the professed reformers of the day ex
pect TO gain by allowing the arch enemie
of reform and progress to dictate the pro
visions of law by which the country is t.
be governed? Have the money lords, tn
cotton lords, the lords of land, the corpora
tion lords, ever thereby relinquished an
of their power to tyrannize over and oppres
honest industry? No, never. If anythin,
has ever been achieved for the cause o
popular rights, it has been wrought out b.
the hardest. The possessors of unjust pow
ers and privileges have never in any age O
the world, freely relinquished any portio
Of their ill-gotten power.
