Voice ofConnecficut.

At the Democratic State Convention O,
Connecticut, held on the 22d, the following
emphatic resolution was passed. We are
glad TO perceive that even Democratic con.
ventons are speaking out, on the subject OF
this Nebraska Bill. The Enquirer has ask ed
US whether we are in favor of the compro.
mise of 1920 or of that of 1850, and saws in
Its ignorance We must be opposed to one or
the other. We happen to occupy just pre-.
cisely the position of the Democratic State
convention of Connecticut-we are in favor
of both, and therefore most decidedly to tina,
measure which interferes with both:
Resolved, That the Democracy of Connec.
ticut recognize the doctrine of the Baltimore
Convention that nominated Franklin Pierce
for the Presidency; also the principles an.
nounced in the inaugural address of Mr..
Pierce, and we now abide by those PRINCIPLES.
and stand upon that platform, relying upon
the wisdom and integrity of our friends who
are in Congress that they will be true and
faithful to all compromises; and especially to
the ordinances of 1885, compromise of 1920.
and that Of 1850, measures heretofore adopt.
ed in our national council for the settlement
of the slavery question. We have full con.
hdsnce that such measures will be acquiesced
In and agreed upon as may best maintain and
perpetuate the glorious Union of these Uni.
ted States.

HATS, CARS AND STRAW GooDs.-There
isno use calling attention to Hayes, Craig g.
Co.'s advertisement, because it is attractive
enough to call attention to the paper itself
The big and beautiful cut represents the case
of hats, caps, &C., exhibited by this well
known firm at the Worlds Fair, which took
the two first class premiums. This house is
now fully prepared to accommodate the
Spring trade, and are receiving large addi-
tons to their stock direct from their manufac.
tory almost daily. We would advise coun-
try merchants and others going up the river
to call at this house and examine their goods
and prices before purchasing elsewhere
They alse keep an elegant assortment of
hats, caps, &c. for the retail trade, unap-
ProachaoIe by anything in the city to be found
elsewhere.

Newspaper Enterprise, &c.


The Enquirer has at last concluded it ba-
ses its success upon other grounds than tele-
graph reports! Well, we should suppose it
would. 1t should not, however, pretend to be
a newspaper under the circumstances, nor
endeavor to undervalue the system oftele-
graphing because other papers choose to
avail themselves of its immense advantages.
Because the Enquirer from want of enterprise
and industry, and in its niggardy feeling Of
closeness, chooses to lag behind the times,
depending upon mails to supply it's readers
with news-it has no right from this to be
continually "making faces" at contemporary
who at whatever expense or labor is deter
mined to keep up with the times, and daily
lay before his readers ne,os that they have
seen in no other paper. The Enquirer has
in very contemplate manner stopped 10
warch our telegraph reports of markets day
after day, and report every rare error, as evil
dence in itself that it, the Enquirer, was per.
fectly excusable in not taking dispatches
and that Telegraph Dispatches are worthless
We stopped that, however, very emphatically
by offering wager that there were fewer mis-.
takes in our dispatches, set up late at ight
from manuscript too, than the Enquirer's stol.
en- from the Louisville papers, and set up from
printed copy. The Enquirer's assertion that
it "frequently has reports day ahead of the
Journal" is untrue, and nobody knows that
better than the person who penned it.
Some of The dispatches published in the
Journal, arrive at Evansville the morning they
are issued here, in the Louisville papers; but
the most important, including the markets, are
issued in this paper the same hour they are
issued at Louisville. The Enquirer must
either take such dispatches from the Journal,
or give them to its readers two days after we
have published them, or else not publish then,
at all. That paper is therefore worthless to
the business mon, and worthless to the man
who is fond of aeics, or at least dom, wish to
be behind his neighbors.
We hope to be compelled to say no more
on this subject. We cannot, however, even
at the risk of wearying the reader, permit this
old fogy neighbor to place US in wrong po-
stion, and not set ourself right. The Jour-
nal requires neither Recommendation nor de.
fence, and moro especially no defence from
paper which has yet character TO establish,
twelve-moDth from the day of its birth.

Grand. Concert at New Harmony.

We have before made allusion to the Grand
Concert to be given at New Harmony, for the
benefit of the Episcopal church of that place.
This concert will be given tomorrow evening.
The ladies have been busily engaged long
time in preparing for this Concert, and we
promise it will be everything it should be-
We learn by private letter, that the ANA
teur Brass Band of New Harmony, under the
direction of Mr.. G. w. Warren, formerly of
Evansville, will lend their services on the &C..
casion. We may remark, that if the weather
be good to-day and tomorrow, number of
our citizens will be expected to attend this
concert. They are all cordially invited, and
we are sure will receive every attention.
The ride is very pleasant one in fair weather.
We wish the ladies of New Harmony crowd
ed house on this occasion, and have no doub,
but the wish will be most happily realized.

ulcers now at Widen, this affair is oln

officers now at Widen, this affair is olm
glorious one for the Turks, and, If not pro-
ductve of any material result, will at least
prove OF great moral advantage to them.
Oh the next day, the Russians attempted
to reoccupy the redoubt from which they had
been driven i'm the night, but the appearance
Of some Turkish batta!ions discouraged them
from the attempt, and they beat retreat.
At the time Of the attack upon the village.
the Turkish soldiers, particularly the Bashi-
Bazouks, cor mitted the fault Of stopping TO
pillage bet fore being entirely assured of VIC
tory, and by this means. in dispoiling the
dead, obtained some trifing articles, much to
the prejudice of the general interest. 1t is to
be regretted that it has not teen possible to
derive all the advantages from this affair of
which it is susceptible, at least as far as re-
CARDS material benefit; but. as far as it re-
CARDS the moral effect, there is nothing to de-
sire.
Ismael Pacha fought like lion, and mo re
like soldier than general. He had two
horses killed under him. He was grazed
with two bals-one on the shoulder and anoth-
er on the wrist. A third ball struck the scab-
bard of his sword.
The Turks took from the field Of battle,
beside Eumber of horses, great many
muskets sabres schakos, epauleItes, and dec
orations, and also many wounded. The lat
ter consoled themselves for their wounds by
the sight of watches or handsfull of gold,
gathered in the midst of dangers, which they
placed by their beds of pain as a sclace to
their sufferings.
Justice has been done to the bravery of the
Russian officers, who courageousy did their
duty, but were badly seconded by the SOL
diers, whom it was often necessary to pick
with the points of the bayonet in order to
prevent them from running away. Some of
the Wallachian militia were incorporated
among the Russian troops; but the former
force were in very bad odor with the Rus
sian officers, and were continually subjected
to their jeers. A Walachian captain refus-
ed to march against the Turks, and he con-
summated his refusal by blowing out his
brains. This fact may relied on.

% Wing editors. and particularly those
of free-soi and abolition proclvties, are dis.
tressing themselves prematurely at the prob.
ability of Senator Douglas becoming here
alter prominent with his party for the Presi.
dnecy Il Lou. Dem.
The Democrat need not feel the slightest
agitation on that ground. Douglas does not
stand hall the chance OF ever becoming Pres.
ident he did two months ago. He has injur-
ed himself more than the Wing party ever
could have injured him. Besides, the Demo-
cratic party have adopted new principle in
their nominations of candidates for the Presi-
dency. Party services, statesma nship, and
high abilities, are no longer considered in
connection with the subject.

H5 On the arrival of the Madona Satur-
day morning, a German fell overheard, in at
tempting to put out plank, and drowned
despite the efforts of the crew TO save him.
From papers found in his carpet bag it would
appear that the deceased was one Of two
brothers, by name of Schlumpp, of Bavaria,
who emigrated from Germany during the
month of April 1853. There is small
amount of money due him from the steam
boat Madona, for services, which will be paid
to his friends upon proper application.

CHERRY PEcroRAL.-We have departed
from our usual rule in regard to the advertis-
ing of Medicines, in admitting the notice of
the Cherry Pectoral to our columns. 1t is not
patent medicine, but one the contents of
which, are well known to the medical pro-
iession, and which has proved highly benefi-
clal in the case OF number OF our acquaint-
ances' who were seriously afflicted with pull
monary complaints. Some of our most skill
iul and eminent physicians recommend it to
their patients in their regular practice, and
we feel that we are comforting favor upon
the public by making known its virtues.
