THE Press OF The SrATE.-There has
never been a period when the Newspaper
Press Of Indiana exhibited so noble and SO
respectable an attitude as it does at present.
With but very few exceptions, the editorial
phalanx seems TO be influenced by stern
devotion to principle alone, and more than
ever heretofore, elevates itself rar above
Partisan interest or personal devotion.
This is good thng,--a great thing for In
diana,--a noble thing for the e3itors them.
,elves. For the good of all, we hope the
same spirit may abide with US to the end.
II it does, Indiana may in time be accredited
as S,ate-as community of people en-
titled to some weight and consideration in
the iederacy,-somelhing which she has
been heretofore almost destitute Of Some.
time ago we observed that the press of the
State would exert extraordinary influence in
the present contest. 1t has done so, we are
glad to say, in the right way. 1t has become

The San Juan Affair.

The New Hampshire Reporter sketches in
a mastery manner the probable consequen.
ces growing out of the San Juan ''bomDard-
ment," and the duty OF National Democrats
towards the administration in that conDec-
ton. After treating with severe criticism
the inconsistency and shutting character OF
the cabinet instructions, under which Com
mander Hollins acted, the Reporter re-
marks:-
lit has entangled Us incomplcations with
Great Britain from which it may cost US an
expensive war to extricate ourselves. Al
ready the British authorities at Kingston, in
Jamaica, have cent vessel of war to San
Juan, and put it under martial law. Thus,
on the pretext of this magnificent victory
over the poor people OF San Juan, achieved
by Gen. Pierce, the British have taken &C.
tual and substantial possession of the coun-
try. IL is nOto the duty Of Gen. Pierce 10 dis
lodge hem-to relieve the consequences oil
his stupidity and folly. 1t is duty demand
ed by the interests and the honor of the
country, from " hich none but TN arrant palt-
room of President would retreat. Gen
Pierce, whatever cost of blood and treasure
must now dislodge the British from the pos
session and occupation OF San Juan, or he
must stand before the county recreant to It's
best interests, its honor and 10 his own Gu-
ty.
While every true democrat and patriot
will openly or secretly condemn the supreme
folly in the President and Cabinet which
has plunged the country into such an awk.
ward and unfortunate u dilemma, they will
stand by the administration in its efforts to
retrieve its great error. In a contes, with
Great Britain, growing out of the 5lunders
Of the President. we should stand by our ow
government, and sustain il To the extent OF
means and ability. Ii such shall lie one of
the results of this sorry affair, we hope Pres
ident Pierce will have the ardent and cor
dial support Of every American citizen.
The Republican will then have a toeman
worthy of its steel. But to bombard and
burn out the poor dclencelss people of the
village OF San Juan, on pretexts SO miser-
able, is disgrace enough for one administra-
ton. We have had plenty of Don Qux-
citing from our present President and Cab.
met, and the lie press in their pay. II
is time The country was treated to a little
true ccuaage and common sense. Here now
is capital chance for fight with Great
Britain. Let US see whether Gen. Pierce
will retrieve his unlucky bIunder at GREY.
town by driving the British authorities from
the city or whether he will show the white
feather and pocket the insult. We predict
he will do the latter for ever since his acces-
sion to The Presidency. he has been man
great in speech, but small in deeds,-of big
promise and little performance.

Hartford Ins. mpauics.

1t fas been asserted that the close OF the
Hartford Protection ms. Co. was caused by
heavy losses. This is a mistake. Tha,
Company has not probably experienced
heavier losses than the other old Hartford
companies, but its failure occurred, as we
have the best evidence for believing, entire.
ly from Encouragement. And whi rein did
this msmanagement consist! Why simply
in issuing policies at ruinous rates. In view
of the com letion of new Insurance Compa-
mics, and their low rates. the Protection
Company issued table of what they called
"Western Rates." being from 25 to 80 per
cent. lower than the other Hartford compa-
MES were taking risks at. Consequently
while the other companies were making q
fair dividend, and increasing their securities
this company was losing money. They per.
sisted in this course, until finally they ave
been compelled to make an assessment -
The old companies, instead of falling in rates
are Their disposed TO increase them. The
Hartford Fire Co. and the Etna ms. Co,
of Hartford, will be rather benefited tha n
injured by the failure of the Prote ction Co.
They are established on a firm basis, 6 we
could very readily prove, and have the full
confid ,nce of the public, or that portion of il
at all acquainted with their situation. DR..

Know-Nothingism Again.

After long silence on the subject of Know
Nothingism, the Enquirer yesterday took oc-
casion to indulge in little more innocent
wrath on that interesting theme. Some of
its friends discovered little while back, That
the Enquirer's furious articles against the
Know Nothings were doing the order SO much
good, that they evidently prevailed on the
editor to stop his talk for time, and actual
~ got him out on speaking tour, where he
could, having a smaller audience, do his par.
ty less injury.
But we only wished to say that the Enquie
reris slightly mistaken in charging that 'oe
have been defending the Know Nothings,
either directly or indirectly. We have
chosen our position, to have nothing to say
about an order or society, of whose princi-
pies and objects we are necessarily ignorant.
In the first place we did signify our disap-
prevail of such society, SO far as we could
hear of its principles and designs. But af-
ter reading the various exposes of the order,
we are more "mixed up" than ever as to
what its principles really are. At all events,
We are not a member of it, nor of any other
secret society, except the Ancient York Ma.
sons, and we do not choose to initiate the En-
quirer in its rascally abuse of that Of which
its editor really kno,cs nothing, unless he be
member. That PaPer>besr traduced the
character of every Vepber of. said oder
without really knosing.> what are their OBJ
jects, andwfthout being able to point out any
great wickedness of which they have been
guilty. But as this is but one Of its means
of counting up foreigners and Catholics, we
hope it will not be disturbed in its amuse.
ment. We certainly will not interfere with

ty grace from the Enquirer, whose editor has

past, and making it nearly the whole ground

they are opposed to Catholics! And while
groveling at their feet, he has been abusing

King used 10 say.
Now if the Enquirer wants to let all sects

follow the example we have set before it,
During all our discussions, we have never
stopped to court up one sect or to abuse an.
o her. We have not written long articles
with the object of ingratiating ourselves in
favor with any sect, and we despse that
trucking spirit which does stoop to such a
course. The Enquirer has done more tn a n
even this. 1t has published articles cacula.
ted to arouse the bitterest feeling of aniunos-
ity among the sects-such feelings as are in
direct opposition to all religion. Its past
course is too well known and too we'll re.
membered, for its hypocricy now to be swal-
lowed as honesty.

DEATH OF CAPT. CHAs. p. BAcoN.-We
regret to learn of the death of Capt. Bacon,
the well known and popular commander of
the Chancellor. A dispatch was received
here yesterday from Cape Girardeau. No.,
dated the 18th, saying that Capt. Bacon had
died the evening previous, we presume on
his boat, which was on her way to st. Louis.
Capt. Bacon was an old steamboat officer,
and well known on both rivers. He was very
generally esteemed, as much SO as any off
Ger on the river. The same dispatch said the
Chancellor had been sold.

A. H. SANDERS, ESQ:
The quiet Of the "O'Post" was slightly

court room. 1t has never been exactly as
certained how many were killed and wound

hops on the principle that
'sThey that fight and run away,

1t is not reported whether the distinguish.
ed U. s. District Attorney saw any Know
Nothings about during the contest. He has
a mortal dread Of them, almost as great as
your man, Shallowpan Windy. BY the way
after Windy made his recent bLo,o here, there
was a special meeting called of the Ancient
and Honorable fraternity of the ",Eclampsus
Vitus," and he was elected by reclamation,
an Ornery member-entitled to all the priv
leges. Modest merit is always appreciated
OF the O'Post; and this remark reminds me
of another instance in illustration. Our
court during the past week elected two sold

votes by that operation!

~ Our precious neighbor devoted near
y column yesterday to a very singula,
theme-so very singular, that We do no,
think he will expect even this much of no.
tice from any quarter. Now what do vol
suppose in all the letters and words and line.
Of that column, he was introducing and adj.
vocating! Why, that the Missouri Compro.
mise, instead of being barrier TO the exten.
sion CT slavery, was a barrier to the exten.
sion of freedom! We only know one thing
TO equal this, and that is Mr.. Miller's de6ni.
ton of the Missouri Compromisc-that il was
not compromise between the North and the
South, but compromise between the Sen
ate and House of Representatives of Con.
gress! We think the editor OF the Enquirer
and Mr.. Miller are admirably adapted for
each other, but not quite so well ADAPTED for
representing abroad the intelligence of the
people of the First District of Indiana. Let
it be fully understood, that our Representa-.
tive in Congress has put new definition on
the expression "Missoari Compronisc, and
that his earnest defender has assisted in dis.
covering Cfor the idea is not original with
him) that this Missouri Compromise was
barrier to freedom instead of to slavery.-
But we do not wish it to be understood that
the people of this district. or any portion of
them but the two individuals mentioned, en-
terrain any such ideas. We cannot submit
to the intelligence of our fellow.c citizens be-
ing insulted by such imputations, or to their
being held responsible for the ignorance or
or nonsense OF these men.

/, .National Whiea. &C.

The Enquirer. has been talking several
days about National Wings, and says hum
dreds Of "National Wings" are going to vote
for Miller, and that the "National Wings
agree with Clay anksWebster and disagree
with Hall, Baker, &c." What does master
insignfcance mean! Who are the '.Na-
tional Wings" Wings are all "National
Wings" But the Enquirer means some
kind of ridiculous insinuation that some of
the Wings are going to agree with Clay and
Webster, and some are anti Nebraska men.
Now we wish to inform our neighbor, if there
be any channel for information into his head,
that the Wings are all anti. Nebraska men,
and they all agree with both Clay and Web
ster on this identical question. For what
did Clay say! In referring to the manner
the enactment of the Missouri Compromise
Act was received at the time of the enact.
meni, Mr.. Clay sad:
"Yes, sir, the Missouri Compromise was re-.
ceived with exultation and Joy. Not the re-
cePtfon II the treaty Of peace negotiated at Client
nor any other event ,chich has occurred during
my progress an public life, erer gaze such IN
bounded and unirersal satisfaction as the settle
ment Of the Missouri COMPROMISED
AS we have said before, is .here any n an
fool enough TO suppose that if Mr.. CLAY were
now living, he would favor the repeal of a
law which was thus received by the Ameri-
can people! Again, in his last great speech
in the Senate, he said:
"Irepeat that never can, and never will
vote, and no other power can ever make me
vote, to spread slavery over territory where
il does not exist"
>And what did the great Wsbsier say in
lsls>in the Senater Why just this:
III was not willing to extend the area OF
slavery, or TO inc ease the slave representa-
ton in the other House. He thought that
enough had been yielded when twenty repre-.
sentatives from slave States. lie lected by three.
fifths, were in the House Of Representatives.
w! Ell the constitution was adopted, no one
looked for any accession of new States
Looking to he new circumstances-tbe ac-
QUESTION of so much new territory--he
thought it bis duty to take his stand, and to
say that he would never vote to extend the
area of slavery"
Wings, aye, and vast many Democrats
all the consistent ID emocrats, stand just with
these great statesmen. The Enquirer il
right in saying the National Wings" stand
with them-and SO do the National Demo
