ton.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee of Indiana, at a meeting ut In
dianapolis, on the Cd inst, resolved
that n Democratic State Convention
be held at that place on Wednesday,
the cath Of May next, at 10 o'clock, A.
NJ, for the purpose Of nominating can
didates for the following Offices, wiz
Secretary Of State, Auditor Of State,
Treasurer Of State, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, and Reporter of
the decisions Of the Supreme Court;
and that the several counties in the
State of Indiana be requested TO send
one delegate for every two hundred
Democratic votes given at the Presi-
dental election Of 1862, and also one
additional delegate for every fraction
al vote over one hundred.
Provided, That every county shall
be entitled to at least two delegates.
We hope they will incorporate the
temperance platform in their platform
for this canvass and let Democratic In
diana stand side by side with Demo-
cratic Maine, Wisconsin and Michigan
and the other Democratic States that
have adopted prohibitory laws. II is
a significant fact that most Of the
States that have adopted good laws on
lhia subject arc democratic.

The last census developes some curl
Gus facts. II fixes the numerical law OF
the sexes thus:
l. There are more males than females
born, BY about per cent.
,. AT 20 years Of age this prepondcr-
ance Is entirely lost, and there are more
females than males.
}. At 40 years, the balance is again
the other way, and there are more males
than females.
4. At 20 the sexes are about even.
and the ultimate age Of the human being
Is reached without any decided advan-
tage to either sex.
Between 20 and 100 years of ace.
there are 1871 more white woman
than there are males, being more than
five per cent. ofthe whole number. Be-
yond the age of forty years, the proba-
bilities Of longevity are much greater for
American women than for men. This
contrasts singularly with the fact tn .
the physique Relatively OF American
women is inferior 10 that OF American
men. That fact, as is shown, however,

Tremenaou. Excl.emen. a,Laure,


Last evening our little city was in a
state OF commotion, the like OF which
has not been seen for many day
About dusk, could be seen small groups
oil persons from Town and Country for
miles around, vending their way to
our Large school house, to listen to a
discussion that was to come of between
the Rev. Thomas Spencer and Rev.
Wilson Thompson on the subject of
Temperance. Thinking it time to 90,
started for the scene Of action. When
| got pretty near the place, saw there
was no light in the house. After en-
curing the cause | learned that Mr..
Thompson had not arrived. Just at
that time, the masses that had gathered
in irunt OF the school house learned that
Mr. Harrel the substitute OF Mr.. Thorn
pson had arrived. The crowd then
moved, in solid column down the street
opposite Mssrs Snider and Henry's store.
When Mr.. Harrel, mounted the rostrum,
with an cpistle in his hand from Mr..
Thompson, Cloud calls to read, read and
cheers,) alter Mr.. Harrel cleared his
throat snutfed the candle and adjusted
his specs, (Great sensation.) he read
Mr.. Thompson's letter to Mr.. Spencer
declining discussion upon the propo.
sitions made by DIR. Spencer, for the
plausible reason that no man could dis.
cuss them. Because, Mr.. Harrel said
they wasn't nothin' no how-they had
no sense in 'em and no man could dis
cuss 'em. In addition Mr.. Hare
offered some very learned and sensible
remarks, and wound up by saying Mr.
Thompson would meet any gentleman
on the Maine Liquor Law morally, re
ligiously and politically, &c. Whe 4
some one in the crowd told Mr.. II are
if he would give them time they woult
get some person to meet Mr.. Thompson
on the proposition, Mr. Harrel said h,
would, but he must be a gentleman
Sullenburger answered he should be as
much of gentleman as Dir. Thompson
Mr.. Harrall in great dignity pronounced
that would take very much oil a gentle
man. After which Mr. Harrall slopes
amidst the mos. tremendous cheers by
the whole concourse of people.
Yours Truly, LOCKER On.
