respect for the Sabbath in Evansville than
in other cities on the river or sea coast. We
have no railroad business done on Sundays,
most Of our business houses are closed on
Sunday and there is no paper published here
on Sunday, though it has appeared in this

siderable Sabbath breaking in the printing
office. 1t is true the law of our State may
allow it, but the law that Numbered from

OF The Enquirer denies endorsing the
National Democrat. Probably it does rot at
this time, but we ask it if it did net do SO
some weeks or probably months ago, and
when the Democrat was opposing this ad-
ministration in the course of the New York
difficulties. just as strenuously as it is doing
now! If it do deny it, we shall endeavor to
bring forward "the documents" The Dem
ocrat occupies the position of good many
other Democratic papers. 1t regards the
present administration as one of the most
imbecie ever placed at the head of govern
ment, and as being utterly unworthy the
confidence of its own party. Asst the Prin-
ciples of the Wing party alluded to in the
same paragraph, we hope to be able to graft
fly our neighbor most fully as we proceed, tina,
the Wing party has enough and good enough
principles to preserve its organization, and tc
secure it great triumph in 1856. Atpre.
sent, we hope to have sufficient to occupy
our attention for some little time to come, al
least till Congress closes, in keeping before
the people the acts of commission and omis
sion of the present administration-and pro-
badly our neighbor will have quite enough tc
do in defending what the Democrat calls, the
denominations of the Pierce administration
We are not altogether done with the Ne
braska bill yet, although the Enquirer may
have hoped so.
