A Coon tLUsrRATIoN.-Dr.M Mcdowell re-
piled to Senator Douglass in st. Lo uis, and
in the course of his remarks thus illustrated
his opinion of the Nebraska Bill being a
violation of most sacred Compromise
Suppose" said he, "that an eminent sur
geon-one more eminent than mysel-should
dress hideous wound in the best profession
al style; and while the patient was enjoying
repose should enter the room and order the
bandages to be rolled down, the stitches cut,
and the adhesive plaster removed, under the
plea that the operation had not been performed
correctly, leaving the gaping wound again ex-
posed and bleeding, and the patient suffering
renewed tortures-what would be thought of
me? So with the Missouri Compromise; the
most eminent patriots and statesmen of the age
had met together from different sections of the
Union and adjusted that delicate question;
and Mr. Douglass has thought proper to dis
turb that compromise after the act had been
doubly hallowed by the death of those great
men,"

beautiful Consistency

/, The editor of the Rockport Democrat has
been at considerable trouble looking over old
files of the journal to discover something in
consistent in our course ON the question of
Native Americanism and finally seized upon an
editorial written by us in 1852 in defence of
Gen. Scott, which he published entire to the
length Of nearly column. Shere is not
now, and would not be willing to write now if
there were circumstances to justify the trouble
and the opinions We are not opposing for
eigners as men--we are not doubling their
brayery-we are not trying to convince our
readers that foreigners, because they are such
are necessarily bad citizens, or that because
some are all must be. We have now on the
contrary the same friendly feeling towards
decent foreigners that we had years ago, when
in this city we time and again were called upon
to defend them from the attacks of Locofoco cd
itors here. But at the same time we are OPP
posing that demagogueism which is ever seeking
to elevate these foreigners oUer americans, and
which would have men born beneath this free
sky, stoop in servile abjectness to secure the
good will and votes of foreign born men. Our
feelings towards foreigners have not charged
one particle. We believe there are as good
men and as great scoundrels among citizens of
foreign birth as among our own countrymen.
But Old Line editors, appear to think all the
men are confined to the foreigners and all the
good scoundrels to the Americans. If these ed
itors are merely Judging from themselves, per-
haps they are right.
We repeat the remark, that there is not q
line nor sentence in the article quoted by the
Democrat, which it would be inconsistent in
us, with our known feelings to write now
In our opinion the editor of the Democrat has
alittle more than got his hands full at home
He had better confine his observations there
although we have not the slightest objection
to his using our name to any extent in giving
interest to his paper.

The Old Line Nominations.

The Old Line Convention of last Saturday
nominated, as we have already noticed, candi-
dates for the offices of County Commissioner
and Surveyor. We do not see the necessity
In the election of these two officers, and these
alone, Of bringing politics into the question
and as the persons nominated by this Conven-
ton, are in no great degree Objectionable, we
certainly would desire under the circumstances
Cor them to run the race alone. The people
Of Vanderburgh, with those Of the other cour-
ties of the tate, will have politics enough 20
surfeit them before the close Of next year
They will then have an opportunity of giving
their opinions at the ballot box not only on the
great and glorious Pierce Administration, but
ON the party and the acts of the party which
placed it in power, and on home men and
home questions. In the mean time, as the
farmers are busy in their fields, and the me-
chanics and merchants and laborers are busy
in town and city, we do not suppose they care
about having the present breathing SPELL in
terrupted for political contest in this county
on the subject Of county commissioner and a
county surveyor. We believe, considering
the Importance Of the Office Of commissioner
under the new statutes, our Old Line friends
should have selected shrewd business man
In place of Mr.. Pruett for the candidate. But
Mr.. p is an honest citizen, a temperance mar
if we are not much mistaken, and will no doubt
labor assiduously to do his duty. The conven
ton did not see fit this time to nominate either
low German or an Irish Catholic for office, and
in this have made a very satisfactory concession
to the American party, with which we think
it ought to be satisfied. But are the good Ole
Line Germans and Irish who have been hurrah
ing SO Justify with the Old Liners, satisfied?

Horrible Murder of Little Girl in New Orleans.

We heard yesterday the particulars of a ira
gedy. which, if true throughout, exceeds any
thing in the way of human fiendishness that
we have ever been called upon to record. The
particulars, as narrated to us, arc these: In the
boarding house or furnished room establish
ment of Mrs. Brown, at the corner of Bourbon
and Canal streets, and over the confectionery
at that corner, was an old woman named Shell
ton, far gone in consumption, and deserted by
her doctors She was poor, and in debt for
her lodgings. Mrs. Brown on Monday inform
ed her that she was not able to keep her any
longer in the house, and that she would have
to seek lodgings elsewhere. This seems to
have greatly irritated the old woman, and to
have melted her to an act of the most horri-
bic revenge. In the evening, she sent her
nurse, young Irish girl, for some camphene.
When the girl returned with it. she poured it
in pool on the floor of her room.
Then hearing Mrs. Browns adopted daugh-
ter, Mary, a sweet little thing three and half
years old, playing in the hall outside, she call
ed to her. MARY, come in here; PYe got cake
to give you" Mary tripped in, unsuspect-
ingly, and then the old woman, setting fire to
the camphene on the floor with candle, seiz-
ed her and threw her into the blazing pool.
The poor little innocent filed the house with
her shrieks, and when she was all ablaze, her
hluIuctSSS SeiAeu HcT ana pat ner OUT lHlO Tie
entry, after which she staggered back to her
bed The witnesses Of this diabcical act were
the servant GIRL who fled affrighted from the
house, and an orphan boy, named George, about
seven years old, who was in the entry outside.
! As soon as Mary, all enveloped in flames,
was thrown out by her murderess, this little
fellow, with admirable courage, rolled her about
the floor until the flames were extinguished,
and then went into the room and put the fire
out on the floor. 1t was all the work of mo-
ment and being in the third story; was over
before any one could come to the rescue. The
| little girl fingered in excruciating pain until
three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, when
death came to her relief, and she was buried at
10 o'clock yesterday.
Mrs. Brown, in her trouble, never thought it
was her duty to apprise the Coroner of the oc-
currenee. Mrs. Shelton Immediately after
perpetrating the dreadful deed, was carried in
a chair to another boarding house. 1t is not
likely that she will be troubled by the law, as
she is imbecile, barely able to walk, and will
doubtless die before trial could be had. We
have never heard of more terrible result of a
sick wo1nan's frenzy than this.
