1.-THE adoption or rejection Of the 18th Article
of the Constitution is question before the peo-
pie. 1t is matter OF no consequence how Mr.. Nc
Carly voted. There thousands Of the very best
men, Democrats and Wings, that voted against the 18th
article. They regarded in its provisions,
and contrary what they deemed the spirit of civ
ilization and Christianity Journal
Not question before the people This sounds
well coming from man who insists that Gov. Wright
should be defeated because he voted for the "eaf ba
in 1887. Oh! no Mr. Defrees. There is no statute oil
limitations in politics. Mr.. McCarty thinks this proyis.
ion too and contrary to the spirit Of cvilza.
ton and christianity. Then would be in accordance
with the true spin. OF christianity and civilization for
Mr. McCarty should he be Governor, remit every fine
imposed for the violation of this law He will certainly
not enforce law which he believes is in violation Of
christianity and the first principles Of civilization. Per
haps Mr. McCarty honestly thinks that civilization and
christianity be perfected without large admx-
of free negroes but the people think differently and
will vote differently. Mark that.

Independent Treasury.

We clip the following from the Indiana Journal. II
castle speeches:
"Gov Wright glorifed the sub-treasury system, and
said the Wings although they denounced il in 1840 had
not dared to repeal it. The Objectionable feature
in the subrsasury bill is the requiring all the
nues OF the country to be collected and discussed in gold
or silver. That feature is not, has been
forced From the very day of the passage Of that
to the present time have been paid in bank pa
per- and disbursements have been also made in great
measure in bank paper. The very provision that the
Wings warred most against, has been enforced
During Mr. Folks administration the law was strictly
complied with The of the country col
ected and discussed in SPECIE the Journal Is wrong
In saying it has been 10 force Under this Wing
administration it may be carried OUT bat if it
is not strictly enforced every officer that negects his
duty in this particular violates plain provision of
Mr.. Fillmore, Mr.. Corwin, and the Wing collectors
may, and probably do, violate the law They being
Wings the presumption is against them, which is fully
sustained by the charge of the Journal and which
shall controvert. The Democrats, however, will
sooR be in power, when the laws will be strictly en-.
forced so that this Objectionable feature to the SUBJ
treasury, which the Wing administration, according
the evidence of Mr. Defrees dsregards will be again
In full force. We should, however like to evil
dence that Mr.. Corwin authorizes the customs be
paid in bank paper. Such a palpable violation OF law
would subject him to impeachment and removal from
Office We can hardly believe that he has authorized
recommended any such thing But Mr. Defrees, who
processes to speak from the book, ought to know.

Unfortunate Aaray.

We clip the following from the cOviDstOn Peoples
Friend of Saturday last.
II becomes our painful duty TO record most anoT
and melancholy affair occurring here yesterday
about o'clock A. NJ. II appears from all that we
have been able TO learn that Capt Duncan and Hon. T.
A Hannegan, who are brothers-in-aw, and who have
lived on The kindest possible terms. Capt. Duncan
boarding with Mr. flanagan for the last two years. had
been the day and evening before INDUCING rather freely
in the use OF liquor Ga the morning Of the said
renee Capt Duncan went up stairs to Mr.. Hannegans
room and an alteration ensued between the parties
when Capt. Duncan gave Mr. Hannegan slap IN the
face Mr. flanagan, upon the ndignity ne felt, and the
impulse Of the moment, struck Capt Duncan with
knife in the lower part Of the stomach nictng Sc
we're and what is thought dangerous wound. We IN
derstand he suffers but little pain.
Mr.. Hannegan recovering from his passions, aroused
by the supposed ndgnity, suffers the excruciang
in the reflection that he has, perhaps, struck
down as kind friend be has earth.
1--WE learn by telegraph from Coyington, that Capt.
Duncan who was mortally wounded in an ARRAY with
Mr.. flanagan died on Saturday last.

C-oar friend Hughes, of the Bloomington Gazette,
labors under the impression that wish 10 make per-
sonal issue with him the question of eieeng Judges
Of the Supreme Court In this he is entirely mistaken
We desixe personal controversy with no one. As a
member of the Democratic State Convention, we were
in favor Of nominating Democratic candidates for Judges
and the editor of the State Sentinel we have and
shall continue to advocate the election Of the nominees
for the Supreme Bench, for two reasons. First: Be-
in point OF qualifications, in every respect, they
the equals Of their competitors and in the second
place. because they Democrats; and in maintaining
this position in opposition to Mr.. Hughes. we have
frred the history Of the past show that the
Democratic Convention in 1874 he very properly we
think introduced resolution ayorng the very prinei'
pie which he opposes. Out of his mouth is he
demned This he calls offensive installations and i'm.
putations." We take very different view Of the
In legal argument it is doubt, the custom Of DIR.
Hughes oreler to authorities and in making selection
of the authorities he Doubt selects with judgment
such sustains his case. Just so with as, we quote
Mr. Hughes very good authority, to prove that party
politics should have something do with election Of
Supreme Judges, and in doing mean nothing per-
sona. If Mr. Hughes has changed his opinions these
his former acts would be of binding effect and one Of
authorities and the argument founded thereon will
fall the ground. We think Mr. Hughes position then
was right and his present one wrong His article has
been extensively copied into the Wing press the evil
dence that Democrat intends to THROW of party
shackes aud against part OF the ticket nominated
by Democratic Convention Of which he member.
No Democratic paper in1he State has yet endorsed the
views Of Mr. Hughes and trust none will. His new
position will necessarily bring him into conflict with the
Democratic press of the State, and into close alliance
with the Wings in making the candidate Of his
party position which we should not coyet But as
he makes his bed SO let him lie.
