INDIANA.

On the 18th Of July-being the 57th anniversary of
the first adoption by Congress CT the principle Of
confning Slavery within the territory already within
its grasp-the People OF Iudsna 40 dissent from the
Slavery and Whisky platform adopted by the late
Democratic State Convention, will assemble and or
ganize for free fight against the disciples of Douglas
and Bright 1t is fortunate that the Legislature now
to be chosen is TO elect successor for JOHN Petit
who noisy advocate of the Wilmot Proyiso
when in the House five years ago and is now one of
its most INSCRIPTIONS betrayers and contemners.
Petit has just been home electoneerng for himself
making speeches at La Fayette his homer and In.
dianspos, 1T which latter place his friends did not
dare TO risk vote in their own meeting by Offering
resolves approving his course. Should a generous
and unselfsh spirit govern the councils Of the medi
tated Convention, and nominations be made which
prove acceptable to all opponents OF the Missouri
compsctbreskers, the State will be swept BY them in
October for Free Labor in opposition to Free Rum.
At all events, We think the canvass cannot be man
sged so badly as to return John Petit to the Senate
Indiana gave about the largest relative vote for
Douglass bill Of any Free State, and il behove. her
to see that the rebuke Of her betrayers ia signal ani
conclusive.

LITTLE TOMMY.

Does not this simple story remind the
reader cfsome other little Tommy who
has sancti6ed trife by the magic of
his touch, and left it to be cherished as
a priceless thing? 1t is from the
Charleston News:
Whilst passing rapidly up King ST..
we saw little boy seated on a curb
stone. He was apparently about FIVE
or six years old, and his well combed
hair, clean hands and face, bright tho
well patched apron, and whole appear
ance indicated that he was the child Of
loving, though INDECENT mother. As
we looked at him closely, we were
struck with the heart-broken express.
ion of his countenance, and the marks
of recent tears on his cheek. So,
yielding to an impulse which always
leads us to sympathize with the joys or
sorrows of the little ones, we stopped,
and putting hand upon his head, ask
ed him what was the matter. He re-
piled by holding up his open hand, in
which we beheld the fragments of a
broken tin toy-a figure resembling
cow.
80, is that all? Well, never mind
it. Step into the nearest toy-shop and
buy another, and we dropped four
pence into his hand-"that viii buy
another, will it not?'
80, yes, " replied he, bursting into a
paroxysm of grief, ''but this sOds liale
T0mmy's, and he's DEAsl'
We gave him the last piece Of silver
we possessed, but had it been gold, we
doubt if he would have noticed it more
than he did the silver. The wealth of
the world could not have supplied the
vacancy that the breaking Of that 10Y
had left in his little unsophisticated
heart.

CINCINNATI. March. 1884.

DEAR EDITOR; l am in the large
magnificent and commercial city called
the Queen of the West. (yet l object
to the title, am opposed to confering
the title of nobility even upon inanimate
things and | am filled with amase-
ment to see the busy multitude in con
stant motion. The question frequently
arises in my mind what is the object
of their continual commotion? Are they
seyerally and individually striving to
ameliorate the condition of our race?
Are they seeking TO cultivate and refine
their minds, thereby enabling them to
have correct views relative to the
character and nature of that God, who
spake them into existence and keep
them under the hollow of his hand?
Or are they seeking TO lay up treasures
on earth? The answer is obvious.
They are seeking to accumulate the
wealth of the earth, whilst scarcely
one thought is directed to Heaven and
Immortality beyond the grave. Did |
say they were seeking 10 anaass wealth?
Yes, and l blush while L endeavor to

erican will consider this matter, re-
membering that this is but an isolated
case-one out of multiplied thousands,
which are daily occurring. Let us set
an example for our sister State which
shall be WORTHY of her imitation.
