The Indiana Democracy.

The democracy Of Indiana held their annual
state convention at Indianapolis on the Gath
ult. Notwithstanding the busy season of the
year, four hundred aud seventy delegates as
sembled. 1t was as fine a representation Of
the party as had ever met in council, and the
proceedings were characterized by the utmost
zeal and harmony.
The Nebraska question came up for consid-
Grafton, but there was little difference of opin-
ion as to this matter. 1t was properly consid-
cred as settled question with the democracy.
: There were thirteen nays only against the
resolutions endorsing the principles Of this
bill. One delegation, voting nay, stated that
it was done in obedience to instructions. The
resolutions as to this bill are as follows =
Resolved, That the democrats of Indiana
fully approve of the principles of the act ex-
tending the laws of the United States over,
and organizing the territories of Nebraska and
Kansas.
Rcsolrcd, That we concur in the opinion
that it is not properly within the jurisdiction
of congress to determine the provisions of the
constitution of state, farther than to require
that it be of republican form, but on the con-
trary, that the people do possess the right and
power to adopt such form Of government as
they may deem best suited to their views and
wants and that this right should be recog-
nized as one of the fundamental principles of
self government.
Ii is nothing strange that such excellent,
democratic, and fundamentally American SEN
timent as this is, should receive four hundred
and t'centy-Onc yeas the surprise is that it
should have received thirteen nays. The fol-
lowing resolution passed unanimously -
ReSOlUed, That Judge Douglass, of the u
). senate, is entitled to, and receives our
hearty thanks, for so ably advocating the prin-
cIpe of nOn-intervention, as contained in the
Kansas and Nebraska bill, and that we cor
daily endorse the action of our senators and
representatives in sustaining the same.
The address adopted, in harmony with these
sentiments, is clear, terse, brief and a model
paper. 1t calls attention to the subtle and
falacious articles which are resorted TO by
the enemies of the democracy to gain strength !;
to the readiness which the opposition has man
ifested TO coalesce with any faction, to wed
with any popular heresy, and to court any
ism or vagrant party orga nization which Ell
ther directly or remotely promised to strength
en- its numbers, or to. detract from the efficien-
cy of the democratic party to the necessity of
vigilance on the part Of the people against the
wiles of those who only coax to conquer and
fatter to destroy.

HORRIBLE MURDERS ON LONG ISLAND
James Wickham, together with his wife and a
negro boy, were shockingly murdered at Out
hogue i. l., on Saturday night last. The
murderer is supposed to be an Irishman named
Nicholas Lane, who had worked for Mr.
Wickham for two or three years past, and who
had left his employ only few days ago, and
was last seen about the premises the night be-
fore the murder. The scene of the murder
presented horrible spectacle.
Mr.. Wickham lay weltering in his blood,
his head literally cut to pieces, and apparently
in the last gasp of his existence, unconscious,
with no hope Of his recovery.
Mrs. Frances Wickham, his wife, was dead
she having had her brains completely knocked
out, which, together with blood, were scat
tered about the room. Mrs. Wickham was
but IS years old. A negro boy, Is years old
who was living in the family, was also beat
and cut about the head to such an extent that
he cannot survive his injuries The deed was
committed with an axe

ks bill is not the end, but the beginning of the
great conflict and it is still possible to drive
back the Unreasonable degradation, if the peo-
rle rise in their might. The history of the do
velopment of all Amefica for centuries depends
on this-whether we, the people of the free
North, have the spirit to protect Freedom BY
a proper expression of our SURFACES, or, if
requisite, to defend it with our blood: or
whether we will cowardly submit to the com.
mands of band of traitors, who are ready. if
necessary to the qualification of their ambi-
ton, to buy that with the tears and signs of
millions. In the present state of things to us
Germans only remains this choice-either we
must humble ourselves 30 low, and help to
forge new letters, we must take part in the
oppression of the unfortunate blacks, or we
mus. break loose from their oppressors, and
separate ourselves from the parties which work
into the hands of slaveholders-that is, the So
called Democracy. In different parts of the
Union, there is already developed the germ of
an awaking spirit Of independence among the
Germans, which, if it grows on, may lead to
happy results.
The repeated rejection, too, of the Land Re-
form bill, is consequence of the aristocratic
influence of the stakeholder, and the servile
subsection of many Northern Representatives.
We have therefore seen that Slavery, instead
Of being diminished, has only gained frmer
ioothOld, and, by the might and influence of
the American Government, has become extend
ed through broad lands, which wore formerly
free from it, and now is again to be extended
by the Nebraska BILL Ii must not be so the
cid parties must be forssken by the people,
and the youthful, uncorrupt third party be
placed in Office and if we muster the forces
which are at our command, if undiscouraeed,
We relax not from our efforts, as the Nebraska
hill ha, opened the Dyes of thousands in all tho
free States let there be a melting together of
parties in union of the upright friends of Free
dom now threatened, and then of the foes of
Slavery, under the name of the Republican
party" GERMANIcus.
