MODIFYING A C4xDIDATE.-At a Democratic
meeting held at Indianapolis, says the Chica-
so Citizen, Lieutenant Governor Willard was
recommended as a candidate for Governor
next year, provided he would agree 10 refrain
from using that unheaithfull and degradin.
stimuiant called brandy. AS soon as the res
olution requiring reform of Mr.. Willard, was
adopted, he became penitent and addressed
the meeting saying that he had been a wander
er from the true path of manliness: and that
if the Dem ocratic party wo'd make him Cover
nor Of Indiana, he would pledge himself to get
sober and remain so. He said that in consid-
Grafton Of The fact that terrible struggle was
before the party, he feltit necessary, IN order
to carry tho Democratic standard steadily
straight, to rely more tqton his manhood than
brandy. He concluded with recapilulation
Of the matter in this wise: 1fsi a-3le1

THE ssIaNACULATE CoNCEPTIoN'' IN FRANCE
Tho new dogma of the ssImmaculate Con-
ception'' in the Romish Church, is creating
quite discussion among the faithful in France.
L'UniUers is the organ of the Jesuits and ultra
Montana portion of the Catholics, and Le Steele
is the organ of the Gallican or the anti ultra
Montane portion of the Church. 1t IS suppes7
ed that the new dogma will lead to separa-
tion of the two branches of the Church. To
give our readers some idea of the character of
this controversy, we give the following, being
translation of an article in lie Steele, in reply
to an article in L'UaiUers ;.s..
'sYou are the men who wrote the Code of
the 1nguisition, the greatest crime of human
kind; who shed blood like water in the wars of
the Albigenses, of the Waldenses, and of the
Hussites who butchered old men, women and
children and said whilst treading under foot
heaps of corpses, God viii know who are hiss
who bled Spain to death, exterminated tho
Moors, and prescribed the Jews who waylaid
the Protestants on St. Bartholomew's day,
blessed the dagger OF Jacques Clement, let
loose upon Europe the thirty years war, con
cocted in secret the -gunpowder plot, trans
Alba, INFO an immense slaughter-hoGse burnt
Giordano Bruno at the Stake, tortured on the
rack the genius of Calico, extorted from Louis
XIV. the revocation of the edict of Nantes,
burnt four hundred villages in the Cevennes,
signed a hundred thousand letters of cachet
(warrants) against the Jansenists, condemned
Caias, executed Labarrs, aayed Fra Diavolo,
Killed, at Rome, Gen. Duphot, shook in the
18th century, the law Of sacrilege, as a trial
torch of the Inquisition, and finally irrItated
France, during the restoration, to such de-
gree, that after long resistance, France in
dignantly punished you. Do you recognize
yourselves in this description of your service,
and in the long trail of blood you have left be-
hind you on the road ofthe past? Do you be-
gin to find out what your family name is =
Your name is not religion, for religion is peace
in The State, whilst, wherever you set your
foot, we find nothing but discord. No power,
no people, has been able TO live within the
reach of your breath, without being poisoned
| and vomiting you back"

| RECENT ELEcrIoN-FEMALE HERotsM.-Du-
ring the recent election much excitement took
place in Kansas. The object was to confirm
or reject the Constitution, framed at Tope-
| ka. At some of the polls the ballot boxes
were broken, and the clerks severely maltreat-
ed. The st. Louis Republican, pro-slavery,
says afs 1s es
seAt Leayepworth City, only about sixty bal
lots were given, and these were afterwards de-
stroyed in some collision between party of
pro-slavery men and their opponents. The
whole election was regarded as a farce. In
some districts 70 polls were opened, and it is
not probable that any regard will be paid to
this proceeding, after the direct recognition
by the abolitionists of Kansas of the laws en-
acted by the late Territorial Legislature, and
the officers appointed under these laws

Many startling instances of heroism are nov
related, since the seige of Lawrence was rails
ed. OHo case was the bringing in of ammuni-
ton, thro' the beseigers' lines, by two ladies'.
a lot of powder, lead and other ammunition
was at place some eight miles distant from
Lawrence, was offered and wanted. The be-
siegers had the place completely surrounded,
when the two ladies' in question, Mrs. q. w.
Brown, and Mrs. S. n. Wood, drove out with
a buggy alone, secured the needed ammUti-
tion beneath their clothes, and drove in again.
The Misseurians stopped their buggy once or
twice, but had the galantry to let them pass
without search. This was certainly a remark
able piece Of female intrepiditY; but in my
mind. every thing is thrown in the shade by
the conduct of the heroic and devoted sentries
of Lawrence. For full week they were ex-
posed to nocturnal excursions, and were fred
upon every night. Gen. Robinson, knowing
that these were merely attempts to get plau-
sible ground for quarrel, issued orders that the
sentries shp'd not return the fire, until inimmi-
nent peril of life. These orders We're obeyed,
and such heroic and exposed endurance is al
most unparalleled. The shots fired at them
were mostly of a random character. but one
sentry had, a ball put through his. hat, and aa-
other had 4 horse SHOT under him.
