The chairman" has sounded his gong"
for general muster of the people of the AZ
rican persuasion, in this city, on Wednesday,
the seventh day Of January next. The
avowed object of the convocation is mainly
to adopt measures to have permanent and
efficient organization of the Republican par
ty. So. then. it appears that the Republican
party is not yet permanently organized has
no fxity in fact, bat is sort Of will-o'-the-
wisp that comes and goes, ike the old wo-
mans butter, according to the state of the
weather This is just what we have been
telling these political jack-o'-la lanterns for
months past; and have been abused like
pickpockets for doing so. The admission of
the fact, under the hand and seal of the
Chairman, settles the point. we suppose, be-
yond dispute. -
But besides the "main object of this
eanly movement, there appears to be Sec
ondary one, which is not disclosed in the
official programme Of the Chairman. What
it can possibly be, is left to the shrewdness Of
all such as take delight in unravelling the
intricate mysteries of party machinery. The
notice Of the Republican Editorial Conven-
tion," which follows the call for ssRepubli-
can State Convention" may serve as key to
unlock this mystery. 1t will be remembered
! that the editorial Convention"i Is to embrace
both the Fremont and Fillmore members of
the fraternity that the attempt is again to
be made to have Sam and Szmbo pull to-
gether, side by side, in double harness. II
this little arrangement can be "fxed up' in
the Editorial Convention" of the sixth, the
Republican State Convention" of the seventh
has only to ratify the arrangement, and the
organization of the Republican party then
becomes what the Chairman is pleased tc
term permanent and efficient" If any
thing note worthy turns up in this general
chasing and balancing Of partners, we shall
take good care that the public have the full
benefit Of it. 81 SIS

AS compared with last year, there is con-
siderable diversity OF opinion, as regards the
average weight OF hogs and yield oflard, and
the question cannot probably be well decided
until the season is further advanced. By
comparing our notes, however we are inclined
to think there will be.a slight falling off in
this respect, this season. As regards the COM
parative number likely to be brought to mar
ket, there is no reliable data upon which to
base any calculation; there seems to be fair
grounds, however for concluding it will be
something less than last year-but how much
less, depends, to a great extent, upon the
course, as regards prices, the market will
take from this time onward. 1t should
be borne in mind, notwithstanding, that
there will be as much pork needed this year
as was last. AT Louisville, 73 868 have been
against 50. 121 the same time

o. We dislike exceedingly to differ viii

or We dislike exceedingly to differ with
our friends, but we cannot agree with the
Evansville Enquirer as to the position Of the
Sentinel. We do not take an "open" or
covert stand for, OF express our " own priS ate
preference" for any candidate before the
next Legislature, for any position. And if
the editor Of the Enquirer will look in the
columns of his own paper of the same day
that he makes this charge. he will Fl Id its re-
futatiOn in an article copied from this paper.
We have e-published in the Sentinel all the
articles which have appeared IN the Euqui-
rer which would indicate the choice of the
Pocket for any and all candidates for official
position, and lest we should appear to do in
justice we give to day, from that paper, an
article upon the claims of the Pocket Dis
trict" and, also, state that the names of
Judge HovEr, Judge LOcKHAEr and Judge
Law, all gentlemen Of marked ability, decid-
ed and working democrats, " will be before
the Legislature for the position Of Senator"
And we may, also, add, as the Enquirer has
so stated. that DR.. FrTcH, Hon. JESSE d.
BRIGHr and Governor WRIGHT are prominent
candidates for the same position.
For Canal Trustee. the Democracy of Van
dsrberg at public meeting called for that
purpose, the proceedings of which were

! The Enquirer is mistaken in supposing that
the Sentinel, or the Democracy of any por-
ton Of the State, under vn,ue the brilliant
victory of the Pocket District or intend to
neglect the interests of that portion of the
State. The Sentinel expresses no preference
for any candidate whose name will be be-
fore the Legislature for any position, but
at the same time it appears no more than
just and proper that it should have the priv
ilege, at the suggestion or with the consent
OF the candidates themselves to announce
the names Of those who intend to be candi-
dates or desire to be known as such and,
also, copy, as we have, from the Enquirer,
the preferences Of the local press of the State,
or their notices, of the candidates, "whose
names will be before the Legislature for
their selection. And in thus mentioning the
names of the favorite candidates of the En-
qufrsr, we hope that print will not charge US
with having done so, shat publ, sentiment
may be manufactured for its favoritss" or
that we have espoused their cause ITO the
detriment of all Others" ls-a79 -

for the week is so per cwt. The receipts as
given below, may be considered quite mod
crate, and are hardly up to the general ex-
pectation. There is one thing, however il
may be proper to mention in this connection,
viz: Last year the receipts of Hogs by the
river steamers was quite large; this year none
of consequence have as yet arrived by this
mode of conveyance, which may, probably,
be attributed to the very low stage Of water
in the river, and if this is the case liberal re-

forward.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. B.
The New Orleans papers of Sunday last,
received by to-dsy's mail, contain the details
of the news received there from Northern
Mexico.
The success of Vidaurri in driving the Gov
ernmsnt forces for second time off Monte
ey, had inspired.his party, and it was believed
that it was not u the power of Comonforrs
Government to 6verpower him.
The pronuncSamento of Tampico had re-
suited in the complete overthrow of Garcia's
Government.
Victoria had also declared for Vidaurri. and
the whole FRONTIER was arranging itself against
the Central Government of Comonfort.
The above, however is contradicted by the
following official dispatch, said to have been
received at New Orleans by the Mexican
Consul.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 2.
The Mexican Consul has received official
advices tom Matanoras, stating that Vidaur-
ri has succumbed and entered into a treaty
with General Lunda, acknowledging Comon-
fort as the President of the Republic, and
promising obedience.

Fl. WAYNE, Dec. 9th, 1856.

EDITORS STATE SENTINEL ss.ai
- GESrLEMEs IL see one or two names
mentioned in your paper as suitable candi-
dates for the Office for Canal Trustee. With
out wishing to disparage the claims Of either
or any of the gentlemen named, / would re-
spectfully suggest the name of General Sam
uel Edsall, of Allen County, for that position.
Four years ago Mr.. Nelson from this county
was a candidate for that Office, and was defeat
ed by snail majority. 1t was then conced-
ed that Allen County ought to have had the
Trustee. Since then many of our leading
Democratic friends have expressed desire
to have an opportunity of doing something
for us. We now again respectfully place
our claims beside other counties feeling
and believing that our friends will do ul
Justice. We have never had candidate fol
any State Office. nor ever asked for anything
but this Office, still we are willing to be tried
in the balance, and if found wanting, give
place to others having higher claims. For
Wayne, as you are aware, is situated on th,
summit Level, ana tne ieeuet ABOVE. ~
city supplies the canal with water on thu
west as lar as Huntington, and on the east Il
the State line. Great injustice may be done tn,
boating interest for want of attention to thi
portion of the canal. We claim that. as
matter of right, the Trustee should reside OIL
the Canal, and as we have Mr.. Downing a
the lower end we say give US the man at tn
upper end.
As to the claims of the gentleman whom
Allen County presents with one voice, we cal
safely say, no better Democrat or no bette
man can be found in the State than Genera
Edsall. He served in the State Senate durin
the years 1882 and 1858, was elected with
out opposition, and many democrats Of tn
State will bear testimony that be was usefu
and honorable member.

that there is an uncertainty as to actual fig.

In the Hog market there was an unsettled

the direction which prices would next tend.

were disposed to hold off, and were infiu-
enced by an opposite feeling to that exhibit

HoGs.-Slaughtering at this point has been
active during the past week. Large droves
from the north and east have been constant
ly arriving for several days The rapid pro-
gress of things at the several houses will
probably bring the season to an early close.

At Evansville, the Enquirer of Wednes-
day, says: e

though the present warm weather has been
against it. We quote the price still at SIS,
with dull market, and buyers holding off.
s. Orr g. Co. have killed up to this time
about 800 head, aud are paying SIS.
The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday says:
The receipts Of Hogs for the week having
been only $1,000, when they might have
been great deal heavier, further advance
was established in prices, and the market
closed buoyant, with decided upward ten
dency. Sales were made at Sc, % and fur
Their advance was subsequently asked. The
conversation on 'ChaDge indicated that short
cropmen are becoming quite numerous, al
many have already made up their minds u
large deficiency. 1t is some time, howev-
er, since very short crop and very high pri-
ces happened in the same year. Slaughter
ers continue to pay 40 cents per head
premium, which. added to the current
rates for hogs. makes the price equal to Sc. As

crease largely the supply at this point.

Pork was saIsable at SIS 25al5 so, with

Prices are now stiffening, and we now
quote them Sc to Sc 10, though one sale of
