OMINoUs.-Four times the Democratic par
ty have selected a candidate for the Vice presi-
dency from Kentucky, and each time partic-
ulaiiy with thevicw Of carrying the State for
their ticket. In 1886; they nominated Rich
ard NJ. johnson to carry Kentucky and they
failed. In 1910, they renominated the Te-
cumseh Killer, and failed not only in Kentucky
but almost everywhere else. In l849, they
nominated General VIM. O. Butler, and failed
again to carry Kentucky or to elect their can
didates In 1856, they have nominated John
c. Breckenridge, and they will again fail most
inglorousIy everywhere. Thus upon the
three former occasions, when the Democratic
party have nominated candidate for Vice
President specially with a view of carrying
the State, they have failed to do so. Twice
out Of three times they have been defeated
throughout the Union. aad this time it will be
as it was in 40 and '48, for, where Col. Dick
johnson and Gen. Butler failed Breckenridge
will surely be overwhelmed i Lou. Jour.

Herbert ON Trial

We refer our readers to the article on the
outside of to-day's paper, upon the subject Of
Herberts trial. The remarks ofthe CONNER
cial are well timed, and calculated to stir up
the American people to think carefully of this
matter. A member of the House of Represen-
tatives is on trial for murder. The fact of the
killing is not denied; the fact that Herbert in
suited the Irish waiter in language which no
son could coolly bear, is also acknowledged,
and, that being attacked by the Irishman as he
ought to have been attacked, Herbert shot him
like dog.
He has been indicted for murder in the first
degree, and to-day the case is being argued
before a United States court. The telegraph
informs us that distinguished friends cheer
the prisoner as he sits in conrt, doubtless boil
stering him up with the belief that the trial is
all farce. We have no right to PREJUDICE in
this, matter; we only record our opinion that
Herbert will be cleared, and we expect to lay
before our readers in few days the intelli-
gence that the Hon. Mr.. Herbert is not guilty
We have one example ON record Of wealth and
influence availing nothng,--in the case Of
Webster But that was in Boston, while not
long after, Mat Ward was pronounced limo
cent by jury Of Kentuckians. Will the eds
tingushed friends" with their distinguished
counsel, their wealth and influence, be able tc
save him from the scaffold or the penitentiary
Will he be as impartially dealt with as though
Herbert and his wife were the victims and
Heating the prisoner? For the honor Of the
Supreme Court we hope that it may be so, and
the old fashioned doctrine once more establ:sl
ed, that in the eye of the law, the life of one
man is as valuable as that of another. Not q
few papers throughout the Union ridicule the
statement of Keating's wife, having died of Q
broken heart. The idea that an Irish heart
can break, because the object Of its affection
has been suddenly and violently taken away
| is ignored. To an Honorable Congressman is
reserved the right of calling working man by
an epithet too foul for the lips Of a gentleman,
and the right to commit murder, should be

Harry CornwelI.

The Enquirer in noticing the appointment
Of Mr. Cornwel to the Terre Haute Post OF
flee the other day, spoke of Joseph Jones, the
former incumbent, as having been removed
for turning the Post Office into distributing
mill, and headquarters for Abolitionism and
Fillmoreism,'' and "that he had taken the
stump against the Democratic party" The
Terre Haute Express denies that Mr.. Jones
has taken the stump or thinks of doing So and
that for Mr.. Jones making the Post Office 6
mill for any other object than that contempla-
ted by law and custom, is alse-as for him IA
voring Fillmore or distributing Fillmore docu-
ments. is doubly false, and no one who is con-
versant with the facts will say otherwise -
Terre- Haute has never had better Post Mas
ter than Jones-we want no better'
The Express winds up with the following
advice:
Mr.. Cornwell is very much Of gentleman
bat as a P. NJ he is to be tried, and we have
no doubt but that he will be found worthy o
tle position. If, however, he is Democrat
after the heart of Hall, we advise him to lay
low-it would ruin him in two weeks after il
became known.

MIR. summers Condition.
Era Of the 10th saws !:

The National Era of the 10th says:
Mr. Sumner left Washington last Monday
Change of air and rest are necessary to his
restoration to health. Every physician knows
that the brain, after any severe conclusion, is
liable to disease, which may be c xcited by dis
order of the stomach, or mental or muscular
exertion. The indications in Nr. Summers
case are not entirely satisfactory to his ply
scians; but they encourage the hope of re-
covery, provided he avoids care and anxiety,
and refrains from taxing his mind. Every at
tempt so far to use his mind or body as if il
were in possession of its usual vitality, has
been followed Immediately by exhaustion. To
US it is clear, that absolute quiet is a necessity
in his case.
The Boston correspondent of the New York
Post says:
BosroN, July 9, 1856.
Not few of Mr.. Summers friends here
share in the gloomy views that have lately
been expressed as to the prospects of his ul-
innate recovery from the effects of the cow
ardly assault made upon him. am told that
Mr.. George Sumner, who is not man Of des-
ponding character, last week expressed doubts
whether his brother you'd ever recover; and
gentlemen from Washington, whom | have
seen, and who month since were sanguine
/ that he would soon be restored to- usefulness,
are now Of opinion that his condition is ex
tremely critical.
can understand that Mr.. Sumner is much
greater sufferer from what has happened than
might at the first blush have been expected
Most men get so hardened in the rough horse
fplay of the world, that very severe assault
implying nothing against their character for
courage, would not harm them permanently
Bat Mr.. Sumner is not used to the rougheI
games Of life, and his mind has been lacerated
and is wearing out his body. The Greeks
used to say that it was in the soul, not the
body, that lay the power of striking the blow
which gives victory. As the soul can strike
so can it be struck, and the blows that it re
ceives are very apt to prove mortal to the
body.
The monstrous result Of Brooks trial, and
that assassin's defence Of his conduct, show
that one of the issues Of the present contest
is the condemnation orjustification of Brooks
outrage. 1t costs three hundred dollars to
beat Northern Senator to the verge OF death
but it costs ones life to speak the truth at
Washington, even when protected by the Con
Stitutlon.
