Judge Lockhart Demonstration.


A few days ago we published call upon
Judge Law, signed by many Democrats, ask
ing if he would accept the nomination of the
Petersburg Democratic Convention, if offered
to him, &C. We also published Judge Laws
reply, in which he modestly endorsed the JET
fersonian prnciple--it was not for him to either
seek or decline, &c. This move on the part
of Laws friends, created quite a hutter in the
Lockhart roest. The Yolksbote came out IN
favor of Law which made things moro APP
palling. The Enquirer was for Lockhart, and
this injured his prospects much moro than the
Volksbote being against him But by no
means discouraged, the Lockhart boys arm-
ed themselves with duplicate calls up
on that gentleman, to become candi-
date, {! y and plunged among the Democracy
to get signatures. Below, we publish the call,
which is numerously signed, and Judge Lock-
hart's answer. Bearing in mind the fact, that
Judge I.cckhart has been working weeks and
months as an open candidate for the nominal
ton of tbs Petersburgh Convention. aud
stamping the District to head his opponents
our readers may have a pleasant little laugh
over this ''call' upon the Judge to become can
didate, and asking whether he will submit has
name to the District Convention for nomina-
ton Bat the Judge speaks out plainly, and
says he will BE- highly gratifed to receive the
nomination. He ismuch more honest in the
wording Of his acceptance than are his friends
in the shallow pretences of their call. Here
are call and reply; .-.sfa
To Hon. JEaEs LocKHART: Qsf rs.
Ssr--We understand that call is being
fHadeupon Hon. John Law to allow his name
to he used as a candidate fer Congress in this
District. The call is now in circulation for
signatures. we deem it therefore but fair to
yourself to thus publicly call upon you to be-
come candidate for the same Office, and we
adopt this plan to ascertain your feelings upon
the subject, and to solicit from you an answer
as to whether you will submit year name to
the District Democratic Convention for the
nomination for that honorable position. We
make this call upon you in no hostile feeling
towardS,G Judge Law, but under the firm belief
that the Democracy eve you the nomination
if you desire it.

EVANSVILLE, May 8, 1856.


GENTLEMEN: Your note asking me to per-
init my name to be used III the Democratic
District Convention as a candidate for Con-
gress is before me- have to say in reply
that l would be highly gratifed to receive the
nomination of the Petersburgh Convention
Your call affords Inc peculiar pleasure, because
see among your number many old and
Staunch Democrats with whom have stood
side by side for twenty-five years; men who
have. never, in prosperity or adversely, deserted
the Democratic banner, or been led from the
path of rectitude and duty by any Of the new
and dangerous issues which have from time to
time distracted the public mind. Should the
Convention honor me with the nomination,
gentlemen, shall bear your standard with its
glorious mottos: "THE UNIoN," THE Con-
sTiTUTIoN," and "CIvIL AND RELIGIOUS LIB
ERTT," in the hottest Of the fight, and think
can assure you IN advance eff a triumphant
victory. -.- ,rr
tender to you, personally, my grateful &C
acknowledgements for your kindness. a
Very respectfully,
JAMES LOCKHART. B.

Public Meeting and EIecEion &C Princeton.


Public Meeting and Election at Princeton.
A meeting was held at our neighboring
town of Princeton last week, for the purpose
Of taking into consideration the subject of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. The following
resolutions were adopted:
1st. RESOLVED; That in view Of the fact, that
the action OF the women of Princeton in des-
troying the liquors of the grog shops of this
place, is to be subject of Judicial inyestiga-
tlon in the Court of Common Pleas, to meet
in this place next week it would not be prop
er for the meeting to express any opinion in
respect to their conduct, -
24. ResolUei; That the continuance of grog
shops in the town of Princeton, whether by
native born or naturalized citizens, is opposed
to the wishes of the greater majority of this
community. al
3D. Resolle I; I'll at we is law ab;Ci lg citizens,
will take all peat e IDLE and legal measures to
protect ourselves and the community in which
we live, from the evils which flow from the
indiscriminate sale of intoxicat ng liquors.
4h. Resolte3; That as an election for TruS-
tees Of the town of Princeton, takes place on
Monday next we will support for that office
such men as will employ all the power the
law allows them to protect US from those evils;
ana furtner, we pledSe ourselves to sustain
thcra in the exercise of that power.
STU ResolueI; That1a Committee be APP
pointed 10 put in nomination for the various
offices to be file On Monday next such per-
sans as are ia favor of tie foregoing Resolu-
tons
After which the following was added by
Or. Graf, which was accepted and adopted by
Rev. McNaster; and on motion the whole
was, after being read separately, adopted.
6th Resoloed; That at the Corporation cleo
ton on Monday, the legal voters be requested
to vote "ior'' or against the retailing of ar
dent spirits-and if majority declares
against" tive pledge ourselves by every
means we may find necessary to abate the
evil.
We learn by private letter to gentleman
in this city, that Judge Hall, Andrew Lewis,
A. C. Donald NJ. g. G. Hargrove, and John
Lagow. gentlemen nomin tied by this meeting
for Trustees, We're elected last Monday They
polled l AZ votes. While their opponents polled
only IS. The whole election turned upon the
liquor sale question. The Board of Trustees
elected are pledged to pass an ordinance de-
claring the retailing OF liquor nuisance. Sc
we presume the evil will be abated without
any further requlsition upon the ladies for
help.

Nicely Johnson, the new American Governor
of California. appears to be winning even the
concentrations of his opponents in the per-
Torrance of his duties. The San Francisco
Journal, paper by the way, which has no
political sympathy with Gov. johnson, thus
renders him honorable justice. The Govern

to understand that their former fellow citizen
is winning heaors even where we had thought

Gov. JoINSoN.-It was remarked of Presi-
dent Taylor a few weeks after his inaugura-
ton that he turned out better than was ex-
pected." The same may be said of Gov. John
son, though III q different sense from that in
tended by the admiFer of Gen Taylor. In all
the scrambling for pelf and plumber among
the politicians who swarm about the Capitol.
he has maintained his dignity, consistency and
integrity, nor, SO far as we have yet heard,
has he !ent himself to any scheme of specula-
ton. Even his political adversaries are una
bic to pick flaw in his conduct, accustomed
as they are to fad faaft with everything done
by an opponent, regardless alike of truth and
justice. Politically, we believe, Gov. johnson
has no sympathy with rs, but we sheaA be
wanting IN magnaninlity did I'VE not give our
testimony, to his purity Of purpose and hon
eStV in action.
