AT Home.

Much to our gratif alton, AMI greatly to the
relief Of those friends who apprehended that
the President might look favorably upon our
application for The Dublin embassy, we arrived
at home on Sunday morning last, glad to grasp
the hands of our townsmen and to meet the COL
dial welcome which even q short absence has
enabled us TO receive. In all the places we
have visited we have seen none that to Us has
'so,niany points of admiration as our own young
city; its business life is in marked contrast not
enly with its peers in population, but some of
The oyer-grown western towns, whose imposing
ware houses and stores indicate much more

them while we were away, and hence the epis-

There are many things which it might paw our
readers to be advised Of which we never before
dad an opportunity personally to observe, but
all these will be spoken Of in due time, if we
don't forget them. We found the great men of

ton we passed good deal of time in the Senate
Chamber, listening to the debates and noticing
the behavior Of the ablest legislative body in
the world. 1t may be convenient in the future
to attempt a personal description of some of
the most distinguished members, but at present
we have other matter more pressing.

The October Election.

There is beginning to be much Interest
excited in relation to the coming State and
County elections. The corruptions of The
present administration are arousing the
people from one end to the other of thi.
conicdcracy. All honest men stand aghast
at the acts of James Buchanan and his cor
rupt time servers Democrats as well as
Republicans, are Disguised with the unpar-
alleled prohigacy that characterizes the
powers at Washington. Democrats as we'll
as Republicans are free to admit, that such
high handed outrageS have never before
been practiscd in this government. Cor
ruption, starting at Washington, is rami-
fled through thousand different channels.
and thousands of corrupt partisans, are
making their fortunes out of the public
property, and the money that should of
right, SO into the Nations Treasury. But
not only is our Treasury robbed and made
bankrupt, but the will aud Judgment of the
people, are sought to be controlled. Men
are told that they must think as the Presi-
dent thinks, or they will not be regarded
by him as worthy of any honor or profit
under his administration. They must not
only suffer him 10 spend millions upon
millions in an uncalled for and useless
Mormon war, but they must also permit
him to do their thinking, and dictate rules
of action for their judgments.
Not only is the public eye looking with
earnestness to Washington, but there is a
general awakening of the people in regard
to our home interest. The State election
this fall is an important one to every citi-
zen Of Indiana. If it goes against the adj
ministration, it will be knell in the cars
of all Lecomptonites, that will start them
from their imagined security.
But there is no less interest as regards
our county elections. We have members
of the Legislature to elect, and they should
be men selected for their worth; they should
have the ability and will to make the SEN
timent of the people felt, when it is again
sought to force back upon us the w. & E.
Canal. That this will he one of the meas
ures that will come before the Legislature
this winter, we have not the least doubt

relative to the case of Senator Sumner,

perform an operation on the back for the
purpose of producing counter-irritation.
The operation is that of cauterization---the
burning of the flesh and muscle TO the spinal

Another BLOW at Popular Sovereignty


Judge Lecompte, the American Jcffries,
decided the other day, in Kansas, in the
case of Jack Henderson, who had been ar
rested under a territorial law providing for
the punishment of election frauds, that the
Territorial Legislature had no power to en-
act law defining what shall constitute a
crime
Popular Sovereignty, as carried out by
the Shamocracy, is becoming rather slim
affair. They are merely pretended friends.
They find they cannot make it subserye the
cause of Slavery. and accordingly, want
nothing more to do with it. What will
be their next hobby? They would attempt
the acquisition of Cuba forthwith, but they
are afraid the tarnal Republicans would or
ganize emigrant aid societies all over the
Union and make a free State out of it by
the time the arrangements were all made
for its annexation. The mention of Emf
grantAid Societies and Sharp's rifles
makes pro-slavery Shamocrat turn pale
and shake in his boots

Eg The Rockport Democrat says: There
is no Disgusting the fact that the English
bill, instead of being the great pacifcation
measure intended by the Lecompton men,
is odious in the extreme to the rank and
iile of our party. It will never do IN the
world to commit the party to such bill Of
denominations. It's absurdities would con-
denim any party to an everlasting fame Of
infamy.
No sane man can expect the State ticke'
to succeed, since Democracy has been
struck down the English contrivance, and
its vitality is being persistently strangled
by miserable Lecompton traitors. IL there
be single spark of Democracy left, after
the coming elections in the North, around
which Democrats can still rally, We shall
rejoice sincerely.

VIM. Walker and the Administration.

In speech of Fillibuster Walker at
New Orleans, few days since, he announ-
ced ''that Mr.. Buchanan, through his Sec
tary of War, sent an ambassador to him
{ Gen. Walker), saying that if he would
forego the Nicaragua enterprise and engage
in the service of Mexico, and while in that
service do some act, such as tearing dorm
the flag of Spain, rendering a war between
Spain and Mexico inevitable, he Walker
would receive the support Of the admins
tration.''
This is about on par with the policy OF
Mr.. Pierce in sending Pierre Soule as Min
lister to Spain to kick up Robbery about
Cuba The Washington Union, however,
denies that negotiations were opened with
Walker as he asserts, but the Administers
ton has been so mixed up with his fillibus-
tering projects that the public will require
some stronger proof than the Union mere
denial to convince it that there was no
foundation for Walkers statement

The world win have its joke at the ex-
pense ofthe legal fraternity, but it is Obliged
to confess, in spite of The many black sheep
in the flock, that no other profession has
furnished finer examples of honesty, intcg-
rity, and sincere love of justice. We
might cite multitude of instances in illus
tration of the remark, both in our own
past history and at the present day; but
our object now is to notice the retirement
of Mr.. Justice Coleridge, of the Court Of
Queens Bench, after forty years service
a couple ofweells since. The occasion was
a touching one, not only to the spectators
but to the high legal dignitaries present
The Attorney General was dcputed to OK.
press the regret of the bar of England al
the loss of ono of its chief ornaments, and
their hope that happiness would attend him
in his retirement.
In the course of his response to the re-
marks of the Attorney General, which con
tanned most happy and appropriate refer
ence to his labors and associations with the
bar, the retiring Justice took occasion to
warn the younger members of the profes-
sion of the dangers which besct them 'fron
the love of intellectual display, and even
from an exaggerated sense of duty to your
clients" He said:
Gentlemen, especially my younger
friends, suffer me, without offence, to put
you on your guard against these. We
can well afford to bear traditional pleasant
ries upon us from without, but we cannot
afford that underlying these there should
exist among thoughtful persons feeling
that our professional standard of honor is
questionablc-tha we, as advocates, will
do in court, what we, as gentlemen, would
scorn to do in the common walks of life
Sometimes | confess, it seems to me that
we lend support to such a feeling by the
lightness with which we impute ungenerous
conduct or practices to each other Surely
no case is SO sacred, no client so dear, that
ever an advocate should be called upon to
barter his self-respect Ifthat be our duty,
our great glorious profession is no calling
for gentleman
These words should be pondered by the
legal profession ON this side OF the water.
