The Princeton conventiOn---stats Journal

The State Journal does not like the resolu-
sions of the Princeton Convention 1t does
not appear to even favor the Convention in any
particular. We rather suspected it would not.
Indeed, we are quite sure that if the feelings
of the State Journal had been properly consid-
cred, the Convention never would have been
hsld But we doubt whether those who call
ed the Convention thought for moment
whether or not it would meet the Journals
approval, and we doubt whether the assembled
Convention reflected at all in their delibera-
I ons upon the opinions of the indianapolis
sheet There were truly inexcusable omis-
sions, but we trust the Journal will overlook
them this time and give US an opportunity of
making reparation in the future. 1t was, how
ever, hardly to be expected that the resolu-
tons of a Convention, strongly opposing all
agitation of the slavery question, and devo-
ting itself to national topics instead Of to Sec
tioDaI issues, would receive the approval of
paper which stands at the head and front Of
slavery agitation in this State. But we trust
that paper will st least give the members of
the Convention credit for honesty of purpose
and sincere disposition TO affect good instead
of evil.
The attacks now being made upon its action
through the columns of the strong Pro- Slave
fy and Anti-Slavery papers, prove that this
Convention occupied the true national ground.
Both extremes are terribly indignant at the
Convention. Neither of them appears able to
comprehend the nature of that nationality
which advocates the whole country, in prefer
ence to particular section. Bound up in the
narrow circle of their own sectional partiali-
ties, they can perceive no good beyond, but
bitterly contemn those who will not unite with
them in blowing the flames of dangerous ag-
itation which threatens to consume the Union
in its progress. No earnest patriot can object
to the resolutions Of this Convention. There
is not sentiment expressed in those resolu-
tons which should not meet with the hearty
response of every man who loves his country
more than his party. We challenge for them
tie most scrutinizing investigation. They will
stand all criticism. Their patriotic principles
will only shine tho brighter by being rubbed
against the feeble structures of party tools, who
are unable to comprehend anything above OIL
beyond their own dirty sectional politics. We
do not apply this remark to the State Journal
That paper is generally edited with dignity
and we accede honesty to its editor in any polit
ical views he may sustain. But we believe in
his structures upon this Convention, he has not
been liberal.

JUDGE DEBRULERs DECISION ON THE L.
QUoR LAw.-During the late term of the Com
mon Pleas Court, which was in session last
week, among other important business the
Liquor Law was brought up. The arguments
were heard for and against the law, after
which Judge DeBruler declared in its favor
From the huant, able and lucid manner in
which he gave his decision none could doubt
but what he had fully matured his opinions of
the constitutionality of the law before it was
brought before his court. He quoted from
Chief Justice fancy in support of the right
Of the States to prohibit the traffic in spiritu-
Gus liquors, and cited many instances in which
they had exercised that right. After the de-
cison had been rendered in favor of the law,
the Prosecuting Attorney got up number OF
indictments, the result Of which was, quite a
number of our citizens who thought there was
no law against the sale of liquors, had the ex-
treme pleasure Of paying fine of twenty dol
lars Rochpo't Rtp.

The Rivar. &c


There was a rise Of abouta foot in the river
here yesterday, caused it is supposed by the
breaking of the Three Mile Island gorge
above. At the mouth of Green River there
was a rise in the Ohio last Sunday which sent
the ice running up Green River as fast it ever
run down the Ohio. But this only lasted an
hour. The Stockwell, Tishomingo and Eayes
are lying in Green River. The Ohio islying
on the Indiana side Of this river at Gen. Lanes
old place. There was fine dancing party on
the Tishomingo one evening last week, which
was attended by all the Kentucky girls who
could be scared up" The clerk of the Stock
well was here yesterday looking for raging
fiddler to officiate at a dancing party to be
given on that steamer this evening. The boys
up there are determined to enjoy themselves
far as circumstances will permit. The snow
which fell on Saturday, has made the ice soft
and mushy, and will no doubt render the des-
truction consequent upon the great breaking
up less than it otherwise might be. The
river has been gorged at Newburg and Three
Mile Island leaving space of some miles en-
tirely clear of ice. The ice was still tight here
yesterday.

Resolutions.

AT meeting of the young America" Fire
Company, the following proceedings were
read
WHEREAS, Our well-beloved brother james
Roquet has been taken from us by death,
Rcsolced, That we deeply deplore this visi-
tation of Providence, as it takes from among
us man who was generous friend, yalua-
bic citizen, and true brother.
Resolved, That we sympathise with those
who have been thus left orphans, and commend
them to the care of the great God and the
kindness of those around them.
Resozved, That these proceedings be pub
lished in the city papers and copy furnished
to the children of the deceased.

GA. P. Willard spoke at Lafayette Ind,
on the night of the 23d. That's the way;
Willard doesn't intend to give the opposition
time to get the start of him. Lou. Dem,
It would certainly be very hard indeed to
get the start of Willard in speaking. He
commenced early last summer making speeches
over the State, electoneering for the nominal
ton of his party to the Office for which he is
now candidate. Ashe was then working only
for self SO is he now. All the principles, of
party with him are comprised in the one grand
principle of his life, the elevation to Office of
A. P. Willard. He is professional Office
seeker, and last summer illustrated his profess
sion with most consummate impotence by
traversing the State electioneering for himself
No opposition will attempt to head him in this
line.

0TMr. Richardson has withdrawn, and Col,
Orr has been nominated in his place. 1t is ex-
pected that Fuller and Banks will also decline.
We think this action of Mr. Richardson is
highly patriotic and plainly manfests the de-
sire of the Democratic party to organize the
House, Lou. Times.
Remarkably patriotic! Richardson stood
such an excellent chance for election, that he
made terrible personal sacrifice in withdraw
ing! If his election had been certain, we can
conceive of no greater exhibition of patriot
ism in his power than Withdrawing 1t would
have been making personal sacrifice for the
good of the country. Every patriot would have
been sorry indeed to see such man as Rich
ardson elected to the Speakership.

The Court Houss---Justics.

When inevitable misfortune falls upon
generous man, the feelings of all right minded
persons ere Immediately enlisted in his behalf.
If sickness also Expresses him, sympath'es
show themselves in kind actions as well as IN
We have had among us such
case. The County Commissioners have just
done an act which will rebound more to their
credit as just men, than anything which they
may probably be able to do in their term OF
office. The estate of Mr.. James Roquet has
been released from all liability on the Court
House contract, except for the amount which
would have been necessary to complete the
Court House at the time of its destruction and
for the amount required to finish the new
County Jail.
The Commissioners of our County could
scarcely have hesitated for one moment to do
this act of simple justice, but for the fear OF
doing what might be thought by some to be
injurious to the interests of our citizens. An
expression, we may almost say, spontaneous,
of the feelings of our property holders on this
point, in the shape of petitions signed by per-
sons from all parts of our county. and owners
of more than half of the taxable property
here, were presented to the Commissioners at
their session on last Saturday, and they were
thus authorized to do what their own good
sense of right and honor prompted them. We
have no doubt but that if the matter had been
presented to all of our tax payers, ninety mine
hundredths Of them would, without hesita-
tion have acted as nearly five hundred Of them
have done We are glad that this vexed mat
| ter has at last been set at rest We believe
| that what has been done has been for the best
interests of the County, and that when again
we see the beautiful edifice built up, and our
County Records and individual papers in a
place of safety, which we hope and expect soon
to see, large majority, if not all of our citi-
zens, viii heartily agree with us.
