fHA- at is evident that it is now the de-
liberate determination of the opposition party
to stave off the election of q. S. Senator, and
al other officers elected by joint ballot"
EUanSuiUe Journal.
Upon such an issue, do you stand with the
Opposition" OF with the Democracy? Pray
tell u.s. ETncennes Gaa.
AYswER-We shall endeavor to stand with
those nearest right. The exigency must be
most imperious one that will justify the course
proposed by the Republicans; it must be but
little short of that which would sanction re-
bellion and revolution; which, in truth, is the
character Of the act they advocate. If an at
tempt be made to carry the election by rank
bribery and corruption, open resistance, tenn
porary disregard Of all law, as a revolution
airy right, would be justifable. A gross Vio-
Iation Of the consttution,-of popular rights,
and heuous offence against public virtue
would demand, as an exceptional case, a re-
sort to any mode of proceedure-even to force
TO defeat it. Bnt to refuse to comply with
/ the acknowledged requisition Of the law and
the constitution, merely to defeat political
opponent is factious outrage of public duty;
and the plea that the opposite party have been
guilty Of the same offence an hundred times,
would be no justification for so violent an
abuse Of power. We believe it will be the
destruction of the party guilty of it; if such
be not the result, it will be because the people
have become so politically demoralized, they
have ceased to look for virtue and honesty il
either party. If the Democrats present unex
, ceptionable men-men of integrity and ability
, upon whose skirts there are none of tht
past inlamies and sins-lke our candidate
5 Judge Law-we cannot see how the Republi
} cans can justify refusal to go into join
: ballot. But if there be any distinct traces o
: Jesse D. Brights. Cor any other profEigate in
, trigper's) corruption, visible in the transac
ton, we say public duty demands it SHOULD
: be resisted and defeated, by any means shor
: Of wrong as great as the treason it would
prevent.

The Senatorial Game.

The Vincennes Gazette gives the following
view of the present state of the pleasant game
now being played for the stake of the U. s..
Senatorship in this State. The source of its
information of these maneuvers is not dis
closed:
Wright has the most friends among the
masses of the people, but Bright has the
most money to make UoteS among those who
make Senators. He is rich, and knows how
to use his gold. He boasts of having won
$4,000, on the late election, and while max
ing that statement, he took occasion to raise
his arm and swear that if it was necessary,
every cent Of it, should be spent to secure
his return to the Senate, and keep Joe.
Wright from being elected. He did not care
who was elected, beside himself 50 it was
not the Governor. lie made $25 900 easily
and could afford to spend it to break down
Wright. He. was confident that his gold
could influence enough Of the Republicans in
the Legislature to order an election, and uote
for hiC2, too, if that was necessary. He could
name the nen in the Legislative. ranks who
were ready to go into an election, when the
proper time arrived.
Mr.. Bright is very confident it is stated, of
an election. Every Geographic whisper that
comes to us from Washington, concerning him,
reports the state Of his feelings on the Sena-
torial election to be buoyant and hopeful. He
has left his money here to operate for him,
and feels assured that he has succeeded in his
schemes of election, while we will CON
tinue to keep Wright in the newspapers, and
damn him with faint praise"
! 1t is notorious that our Legislatures are
corrupted; that money is used to carry meas
ures; that the honors and sovereign powers
Of the State are trafficked for in the market
by men who, when they have acquired them
sell themselves, their official influence and
privileges, for any corrupt purpose that Will
pay. 1t is that species of corruption and We
nality, that has marked the decline of public
virtue, and the lncipient stages Of degeneracy
in every people through all history. The
manner in which our bank charter was OBJ.
tanned and sold is proof of the effrontery and
boldness with which bribery and corruption
accomplish their designs at the fountain o
our laws. How is it that men spend then
lives in politics, holding positions whose
emoluments do not pay their personal expen
ses, and yet grow enormously rich? There
are many such instances in Indiana. VIII
not the people in body, put this interrogato-
~ to themselves?

FACILITIES FOR COMMITTING CRIME
Speaking Of the late arrests in New York Of
five of the most expert burglars in the
country, the New York Police Gazette
makes the following alarming statement:
The facilities which the thieves Of New
York have for committing crime, are almost
beyond belief Their organization is COM
plete. In searching Moore's house after his
escape, the police discovered a number of
confidential letters which he had received
from all parts of the country. These letters
it would be highly iniudiciOus to publish, as
it duplicates respectable merchants out West
and parties in this city, who are supposed to
be beyend suspicion. These letters showed
the facility afforded thieves in disposing of
their property. There were also letters from
the owner of noted 'fence'' in Tenth street.
In perusing these letters careful, it was also
discovered that this gang with which Moore
was connected had mechanics and laborerS in
their employ, who furnished them with full
and accurate description Of the houses they
were at work upon. There were also a mum
/ Der of diagrams of stores and dwellings, Of an
! innumerable number of houses in this city,
how the various apartments were laid out,
and, if store, where the safe or silks were
deposited; if a dwelling house, where the
money or the silver plate was located. Who
/ furnished the thieves with these Diagrams
/ There is not store or house worth breaking
into but is as well known to the burglars as
the owners themselves. Even the very locks
on the doors are known, yet no impression has
been made with the wax. Who gives infor
nation of this character? New York is at
the mercy of thieves; no police, however cf-
tective, can afford adequate protection.

A GREAT ENTERPRISE ACCOMPLIsHED.-I'he
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, commenc
ing at Lynchburg in Virginia, and surmount-
ing the Allegheny mountains, extends to
Knoxville and Dahlonega in East Tennessee,
and there connects with the lines of roads
that are building to Nashville, Memphis, New
Orleans and Mobile. This great work after
six and half years struggle and by the ex-
penditure Of more than $6,00O,OOO, is now
completed, stocked and opened for freight and
travel. This is the most important link of
communication opened between the North
and South. 1t opens an entirely new route
for intercourse from the Southwest to the
Atlantic coast. 1t will form the great central
avenue Of travel, as within the present year the
line of connection to all the Eastern cities on
the East of the mountains will be complete,
and also the roads to Memphis; and crossing
the Mobile and Ohio road, it will draw travel
from the whole line of the Mississippi river,
! by the branch roads of that great stem. 1t
will be in connection with Nashville by Nash
Vile and Chattanooga Road. 1t will extend to
Mobile by the Selma road; and as soon as
New Orleans completes her Northern road so
as to intersect the Memphis and Charleston
road, this Virginia road will open direct
line to the East from all the Southwestern
cities and towns. 1t will shorten the distance
between New Orleans and New York more
than 500 miles, through one Of the most TO-
mantle and agreeable routes Of travel in the
Union, and bring these two cities within three
OF four days Of each other.
