FOREIGN NEWS.

From the index of the news published in
another column, the spirit of war seems to be
brooding between this country and Great
Britain; but with the Cincinnati Gazette, we
believe "the United States and Great Britain
are too closely connected by trade, commerce
and common origin to enter into = war abou:
matters which are pre- emmently proper to be
settled by diplomacy or arbitrason-ma.ters
sbou. which the great mass Of the people.

recdy Observation-Disclosures relating TO Cen
trail America. However high or lofty the
Government Of England or the United States
may talk. there is no serious intention of war
entertained by either. The people Of both
nations are opposed to it. and the best inter-
ests of both nations would be greatly injured
by it,
The Gazette gives an excellent reason for
the stirring up Of the war element al this par
ticular time, in the fact that Pierce and Buch-
anan are both aspiring for the nomination OF
the Presidency at the National Convention.
This method has been resorted to by them to
tickle the ears of the masses-gain notority
from the imagined blood and thunder pro-
pensities Of the people. The former invoked
its elements in his message. and the latter
kicked up dust with the British Secretary
previous to leaving his ministerial duties. and
demanding his passports"

unanimously adopted:
RESOLUTIONS.
WHEREAS: The question of Prohibitory
Law. with regard to the traffic in Intoxicating
drinks. as beverage, was one Of the vital
issues in the Canvass Of 1854; and whereas.
the people by decided majority, triumphed
in that contest, and elected General Assembly
which in obedience to their demands, passed
law which received the sanction Of the Ex-
ecutive and the beneficial effects of such law
during its brief enforcement were most deei-
ded and approved of by the majority of the
people: And, whereas. a majority of the
Judges of the Supreme Court have decided
some parts of said law unconstitutional, and
one half of said Judges the entire law uncon
stituiional. thereby rendering said &C: in a
great measure Observation-Disclosures.
Resolved That this Convention is in favor
Of the principles Of the Indiana Prohibitory
a law should be sustained at all hazards, allow
ing such modification as time and experience
may render necessary.
RESOLVED. That the friends of Temperance
throughout the State be requested to vote for
no one for any office who endorses the oppo-
sition to Prehibitory Law as avowed by the
Convention held at indianapolis the 9Th of
January last.
Resolved, That with view Of efficiently
enforcing the views and purposes thus avowed.
we recommend an immediate organization Of
the friends of Temperance in every portion
Of the State.
A resolution. thanking the women of Indi-
ana for their services in the cause of Tempe
rance, and inviting them to again put all their
power into the contest approaching. on behalf
Of good order and sobriety. was then offered
and unanimously adopted.
Tho Journal remarks:
1--WE may say generally Of the Convention.
that it was one Of the largest and most respec-
table that ever assembled here. being fully
equal to. if not larger than the Democratic
Convention. of the 9Th of January. The feel
ing was excellent. all speaking most hopefully
of the prospects Of the cause. A more en-
thusiastic and cheering gathering has never
been held in this CITY,"

THE BoNUs TO PRoF LAKRABEE-We have
hitherto taken no notice OF the charge alleged
against Prof Larrabee of receiving a bonus
from the Harpers, OF $50 900, if he would pur-
chase the books for tie township libraries Of
them. here is no positive evidence that he
did. and he positively denies il. SO the people
are left 10 credit his word, or convict him on
mere crcumstantial evidence.
The circumstances bearing on this point are
these. as given in the Putnam Banner: When
be came 10 Indiana he was poor-that his sal
airy as Professor enabled him barely 70 hold
his own-that when elected Superintendent,
all of his real estate, a few acres near Green
castle, was under mortgage--that his salary
for the two years was $4,000, out Of which he
had to support his fam.ly--thas he now owns
about 1000 acres ofland in Jasper county. and
about 1000 in Iowa--that be spent large
sum in cultiyating aud improving the former.
last summer sending at one time ten or twelve
yoke of oxen for blowing purposes-that he
built in Greencastle house worth $4,000, and
after all had enough to buy half Of Sentinel
Office. The Banner adds:
Again, We say, where did the money come
from? In short, out of $4,000 he has kept his
family for two years. made several trips down
east to see his Yankee friends, bought 5000
acres Of land. spent at least two thousand
dollars for hired help. built FIVE thousand
dollar house. yet has enough left TO buy one
half of the State Sentinel establishment! If
the charge is not true. we again repeat. where
did he get his money? People may lie, but
figures never.
