Notice to the Republican Press Of
Indiana.

We call the especial attention Of the
Republican prints Of Indiana, to the
necessity Of meeting OF their editors
at an early day, say on Monday. Nov.
25th, prox., and that indianapolis DO
the place. The united action OF the
press Is necessary. and while they are
generally right on the subject. there
are details in which IL is necessary to
agree. This course will be produc.
tive of the most wholesome political
results, besides cultiyaiing q more
friendly personal acquaintance among
those co. workers in the GREAT CAUSE.
We hope this thing will be agitated
by the Press Immediately. -fort
Wayne Times.
We are decidedly in favor Of such
n meeting. Let US have Conven-
ton nj some early period. Let us
meet together. make each others nc.
quaintan,o, discourse on business and
political matters. and mark out a
course to pursue 10 the coming great
contest. There is work for us to do,
and let US prepare for dolngit.
For several reasons we prefer n

Bro. Dawson. We would suggest

time. The Supreme Court viii then
have rendered o decision on the Pro-
hibitory Law, and Congress will prob
ably have organized and Indicated ii
position on several important mat
tiers.
Let US, then, hear an expression
from the Press os our party as TO thu
propriety Of calling such Conven

generally considered best, we will b
on hands. OF course, let il be in In
, dianapolis, and not earlier than Dec
18th. We would prefer Convention
of the editors and publishers of al
r parties, not to discuss politics, but I

tiers. There are but few publisher

ever, it is agreed upon to meet on De
18Th, look for us in the crowd.

Tho Question Of Alien suffrage.

We quoted. the other day, the opin-
ion Of John G.. Calhoun on tho ques-
ton Of alien suffrage. Below we pre-
sent the opinion Of another distin-
guished Democrat on the same ques.

Of Senator Brown Of Mississippi. on
the Kansas Nebraska bill in 1854. and
against the provision extending the
right Of suffrage in those territories, to
aliens ~ A. Tribune.

Editors Of the North CAROLINA Standard:
GENTLEMEN: Your correspondent "W v G. " is
entitled to the sincere thanks of the friends of Mr.
Secretary Dobbn for his pleasing review of the ca
reer of that distinguished gentleman. And we hope
he will not take it unkindy that append few
additional remarks on his article
We think that " w. V. G." has undervalued the
deep and abiding hold that Mr. Dobbin has the
confluence and a1TeCuons, not only of his personal
and political friends, but of every patriotic Amer-
citizen. The inheXible integrity and transcend
ant ability with which he has ever discharged his
duty, have hushcd the voice of malice and left no
ground for the critic. Few statesmen of nation
and of the present day, have led as unspotted
private and public life Mr.. Dob IN. These quail
tiles, and not the groundless caprice of the multi
tude have made James Z. Dobbn of the first
men of the nation. The people know and feel this
and his very name is tower of strength wherever
ability is admired integrity honored and the Con-
stitution beloved Why then, should " w. v g."
propose for the second office of the nation the man
who, morally and intellectually, is second to none
Believe US, Wv. V. G., " lie would be an honor to
any office in which he could be placed and if there
is man in the Republic who would fill the Presi-
dental chair with honor to the nation, and without
any addition to his greatness that man is
JAMES, COCHRAN DOBBIN.
Your correspondent, though he may admire the
statesman, cannot duly appreciate the man, till he
learns intimately his character in the private walks
of life There the glory of the statesman will be
forgotten in the purity and amiaby of the private
citizen in the deghtfulness of the social circle, and
in the humility of the Christian.
If the National Democratic Party would preserve
its integrity and further its interests it must not
slight the claims of Dobbn to be their standard
ard-bearcr in the coming contest. Not even the
knitting malice of Know Nothingism could pick
flaw IN his character; ana the language of every
true Democratic heart would be, and is, " where
Dobbin leads will follow

SPoNGING ON THE PRINTER-Here is little article

ly over the EDITORS table:
The public have funny notion about printers
They thinks it costs nothing to puff, advertise, &C.
And thus one and another will sponge an extra pa
per, puff, or some benevolent advertisement. They
foreget that this business makes them known. They
forget that it is the printers ink that makes nine
teRths of their immense fortunes. They forget that
it takes money to pay compassionate buy ink,
type and paper-and lastly, they forget to even

putting their business"
