ten acres of land in the vicinity of Chicago,

Journal that this money has been subscrib-

that measures will be promptly taken for
constructing the necessary buildings. The

The feature of news which excited the
most attention was an official paragraph

ance of such conduct will break up the
Anglo French alliance This paragraph
caused excitement both in England and

1t is reported that the British Govern

to dissolve the alliance.

United States Senator.

Several Fusion editors have written ar
ticles, urging the Senate (which is fusion
TO refuse to 90 into an election for Senator
this winter. in Consequence of the failure
OF the Democrats to elect, q time or two
when they were in the minority in one or
the other houses of the Legislature. We
are, individually, opposed to staving of
elections of that kind, under any circum
stances; yet, at the same time cirCumstan
ces might occur, as in 1914, that it would
not be so heinous a crime, after ALL as
might be committed 1t was well known
by all parties. in 1914, that Indiana was
democratic; tina! if they elected a whig Sen
ator, that Indiana would be misFepresen:ed
in part, for the next six years. Such be-
ins the case, the democrats thought the
better way would be to postpone the elec-
ton until the next winter. Their conduct,
in this particular, was submitted to the peo-
pie In the next canvass, and resulted in a
verdict of approval; consequently, demo-
cratic United States Senator was elected at
the ensuing session of the Legislature.
But little more was heard on that sub
jet until 1854, when Know Nothingism
swept over the country like storm. At
ter the election was over it was ascertained
that the Know Nothing's had majority
III the legislature on joint ballot. they were
extremely anxious to 20 into an election for
L. S. Senator, but the Democrats knew that
Iadiana, (if she had stepped aside) was
thoroughly democratic, and they conclud-
I'd that, as we had one Senator, they would
refer the matter TO the people again. It
now ascertaned tc certainty, that Indi
ana is thoroughly democratic. no.with-
standing the Fusions have an accidental ma
loriiy of three or four in the Senate. There
fore there would be no inducement for the
fusiors to staye off he election only TO
aggravate or retaliate for there is no prob
ability that the Democrats will be in the
minority in Indiana for years to come. The
Democrats who were members. at the
tines above referred to, were charged (by
the opposition as committing an outrage.

they were 1T loss for adjectives to express
THEN hatred and co1.er,nt Of the coursa
which they had pursued. But now the
tnne seems to be turned, the boot is on the
other foot. 1t was an awful crime for the
De'noc rats to stave off an election, but it is
AL right for republicans TO do So Oh con-
sistency! Our private opinion is, that

and the South Bend Register, will no: ad-

John e. Fremont.

Many Of the Republican Presses have
holsted the name Of John c. Fremont as
their candidate for President in 1860; 9th
crs are OF the opinion that it is not proper
at this time TO express their preferences for
him or any other person at the present
We arc rather inclined to the opinion that
Fremont has been nominated the last time
rs a Candidate for President; before the
year 1860 rolls around, the Republican
party will have passed away, and will be
known no more forever. 1t is matter Of
conjecture what cognomen the opposition
to the Democracy vii assume, in 1859: thai.
they have fought their last battle under the
title Of Republicans, is certain to our mind
The Kansas and Nebraska act, SO far as
slavery is concerned, will be the settled
policy of the government before another
Presidential election, and like the subtrea
sury-no party will be disposed to repeal
u. The greater portion of those who have
opposed the idea that the people in the Ter
ritories were capable of making their own
laws and that they should have that priv.
lego. will be perfectly astonished at them
selves, for opposing measure that all are
forced to acknowledge, is correct in prnci-
pie. The American people at the late elec-
ton have said in language not to be mis-
understood, that the residents in the Ter.
ritor;es are capable Of making their own
laws. and that they shall have that priv
lege. This being the case, the slavery
question so far as Congress is concerned, i:
virtually settled; seeing that the question:
at issue between the parties were settled a
the late election by the soveregns. in favo
Of the Democracy. 1t is right that w,

We would suggest to the citizens of
Plymouth, as cold weather is upon us, TO
look well to their stove pipes, and CHM
neys. a little precaution may save thou
sands of dollars worth of properly. The
greater number of fires are traceable to care
lessness. or neglect of occupants, in not
keeping their chimneys swept, or burnt
out, and their stoyeppes in order. Many
are culpably careless with their ashes 1t
is not unfrequent that the vessel in which
ashes are carried out, is set down by the
side Of the back door, or by some out build
ing, without thinking, that if there should
be fire in the ashes, they will burn over
again; and should they be in wooden YES
sci, it will take fire Therefore, our
counsel free Of CHARGE is to burn or
sweep out your chimneys--examinc your
stoye-pipes, and see that they are perfectly
safe Have tin, sheet-iron, or zinc, under
your stoves; and when you are satisfied
that your stoves, &c, are all secure, call at
c. Ii. Reeves Office, and get yoar building
insured, which will cost but trifle; then,
should your house, by accident be consum-
ed By fire, you will have something to

INDIANA THE BANNER SrArE-We are
proud of Indiana and its position with the
Democracy OF the nation. All things
considered, We think it will prove to be the
Banner Democratic State of the Union,
giving James Buchanan a much larger
majority. in proportion to her population.
than any other State. Indiana nominated
James Buchanan, and Indiana elected him.
Had no election been held in this State in
October, or had the result of that election
been less decisive, tits altogether probable
that Mr. Fillmore might have carried
enough Southern States TO have defeated
an election by the people; and without the
vote of Indiana now. Mr.. Buchanan would
fail of an election, if Illinois is for Fremont.
We repeat. we are proud of Indiana and of
her proud position with the Democracy of
the Union. The nation will look TO her as
the marinerlooks to the lighthouse when
the tempest bowls about his vessel. Indi-
ana has rebuked the fell-spirit of disunion.
