A PUBLIC CALAMIrY.-We see it announc.
ed that Paris c. Dunning has been nomi-
mated for Congress, by "Democratic" Con.
vention in the Madison District. Every
decent man in that district ought to consider
himself publicly and personally insulted BY
such nomination. How any man, profess
ing Democracy, could so far forget their
State pride, their respect for the Congress
sional Office, and their duty as good citizens,
to foist upon the community such man as
Paris c. Dunning for such an ONCE. is more
than we can understand. Perhaps Dunning
has invested some of the profits of his gov ern-
orship in this enterprise.
This nomination, however made, is dis
grace to the State, and we verify believe the
election of the nominee would be public
calamity. If Dunning would coDdescend to
take advantage of the soldiers in the Mexican
war, andpermit himself to encourage (if he
was not an actual party) the swindling of the
State which hsdentrusted him with her high
est Executive ofice-upon what assurance
can his party propose to send him to Con-
gress!-( Vim. Gaz.

Police REPORTS.

Two of the individuals alledged to have
been concerned in the field fight on the 4th
were put upon trial yesterday before Justice
Walker.
Henry Filger, charged with breaking open
the house of Mr.. Cash, and assaulting and
beating Ellen Cash, was first tried. He was
identified BY the witnesses for prosecution
40 having broken in the door with fencerails,
poles, &c.
Witnesses for the defence found an abb
and he was accordingly discharged.
Lewis Daumb was next put upon trial. He
was identified by nearly all the witnesses as
being engaged in the affray-proven to have
aided in breaking down the door-to have
violently thrust pole into the house of Mr.
Cash; also to have broken down the gate
leading into the yard.
Mr.. Daumb, We regret to say, was appa.
rently, in the estimation of everybody pres.
ent, except JUSTICE WALKER, clearly and
conclusively eonvicted-but he thought diff.
fsrsntly, and accordingly discharged him.
We regret that our columns will not per.
nit full report Of the evidence to-day. We
shall give the adjudication of the latter case
some special attention tomorrow.

OF II may not be generally known that
Indiana gave a larger vote in favor of the Me-
braska bill than any other free State, and
more than the whola of New England with
New Jersey thrown in-twice as many as
Ohio-and quite as many as Michigan, I'LL.
nois, Iowa, and Wisconsin COMMUNICATES.
This proves but just one fact, and that a
very humiliatng one-that Indiana has more
chattsls in her Congressional delegation than
all New England, and New Jersey thrown
in.

There are at the present moment more
discordant elements at work in the city and
State of New York, than ever before affiict-
ed political parties. They are too many to
enumerate, but not too numerous for the
ultimate good of the people. Politics in N.
York cannot we'll be rendered more factious,
corrupt and ridiculous, than it is at present,
and we predict that the threatening ebulli-
ton of political affairs in the "old Empire,''
will purify the great body polite of host Of
its moral lepers. Demagoguery, rowdyism
and money have for years held the direction
of parties. The people are beginning to
open their eyes in some instances. while
other factions are becoming the more reckless
and unprincipelled.
The rock upon which the Democracy will
split, is their approaching State Conventions.
The delegates to both the Hard and Soft
Cow entions, are made up chiefly of the very
scum Of their respective branches, men suit.

nothing has yet transpired to indicate their
course of action. The party, however, is
less divided than the Democrats. and we
have reason to believe is under better and
more judcious management. We will no,
boast of its superiority over Democracy, ex.

Some few Locofoco papers appear very de-
sirous Of making their readers believe, that
the Democratic party in Indiana are very
united in supporting the Nebraska resolution
Of the late State convention. They never
publish a word about the anti. Nebraska
meetings continually being held by Demo-
erats az we'll a. Wings, nor tell of the indig-
nation with which that action of the conven-
ton has been received in different parts of
the State by their own party. A short time
since We published an account of several
Democratic snti-Nebraska meetings held in
Indiana, which strongly rebuked the action
of their State convention, and sigui6ed very
plainly they were not to be whipped in to
giving any such Misrepresentation of party
feeling their sanction. We have get to re-
cord the first successful Democratic Nebraska
meeting in Indiana! That"Nebraska meet
ng'' held at Lafayette, voted do.On Nebraska
resolutions, and at Indianapolis none were
offered, because it wss known they would be
voted down there. Nowhere in the State
has the party been able to get up an out and
cut Nebraska meeting! Now for a few illus
trations Of the feeling on the other side Of
the question.
An anti-Nsbraska meeting was held at
Rossvills last week. About FIVE hundred
persons were present, nearly all of whom
were Old Line Democrats. There was a
great deal of enthusiasm, and able speeches
from Democrats.
On the 22d ult., large and enthusiastic
anti-Nebraska meeting was held at Dublin.
Persons were present from number Of coun.
ties. Resolutions were passed pledging the
meeting not to vote for any candidate fol-
Congress or Legislature who may be in ia
vor of the repeal of the Missouri compromise
A call signed BY 800 men, of all parties,
for an anti.Nebraska meeting to be held a,
Greensburg, on the 9th inst, appears in the
Decatur Press.
The Muncie Messenger contains a call
signed by about seventy persons of "differ'
ent political parties" for meeting at Nun
Gle, on the 9Th of July, Of the citizens of Del
aware county opposed to the Nebraska Bill
to nominate delegates to the Peoples Meet.
to be held there on the 18th.
The Warsaw Republican contains cal

State Meeting on the 18th, signed BY
eighteen Wings, eighteen Democrats, ant
eight Freesoilsrs.
The Valparaiso Observer says that tn
anti-Nebraska feeling is very strong amonl
even "Old line" Democrats in Lake county
that Me- Donald will take the field with al
his power against the platform Of the SLAYER.
Convention-and that the county will cast
heavy anti-Nebraska majority.
The State Journal says Mcdonald wa
the man who shsmed the State Conventio
into silence, by reading the resolution Of tn
Convention of January 9Th, ls49. He is tn
sblest Democrat in the North, or the Sout
either for that matter, and will do the part
more damage than ten such as John L. Rot
inson, with an armful of canes apiece, coul
repair.
An anti-Nebraska meeting is to be held q
Delphi on the 9Th inst. The preliminar
meeting has already been held. Democrat
and Wings will compose this meeting.

AnAmerican Celebration.

Some of our friends had en- "American
Celebration" as they called it, on the
Fourth. Their meeting was small, but over
flowing with enthusiasm. Obtaining a fine
carriage, the four gentlemen backed it with
a hamper Of provisions, liquors, ice, &C., and
went down to the old camp grounds, where
the great trees swing their mighty arms high
err than all other trees, and where the spring
water is brighter and cooler, and the birds
sing louder, and there amt any ticks! On
this spot they unh ampered their souls as well
as bottles, blew loudly horn to call in their
neighbors to take a horn and join in the 4th
of July wide awake. Mr.. C.. made bril-
liant Grafton, which was received with i'm.
mense applause, especially from Mr.. G.'s
trumpet, and then followed the reading OF
the Declaration. After this, the following
regular toasts were read. The volunteer
toasts having been rolled up and used by the
Secretary, Mr.. W., as cork for the last bot
tie, the writing was rather much dis6gured
for present use:
I. Freedoms Birth Day-The Fourth OF
July, l776. Drank with "all the honors;"
music, "Yankee Doodle"
2. The Memory of Washington-drank in
silence.
8. The Heroes and Ssges Of the American
Revolution. Music, "Hail Columbia"
a. The American Union. Este perpetua.
Music. "The Star.spangled Banner"
5. Henry Clay.

Forget tho past, his fate and fame shall be
| An echo and light into eternity"
| 6. The illustriOus triumvirate, Clay, Cal
houn and Webster. Air, "When Earth'i
Foundations first were laid"
7. The Constitution and its Compromises
We will stand by what remains, and restore
what has been violated.
8. John Bell of Tennessee. He towers q
cubit higher than any other living man.
Song, "Let US honor him now"
