The Canvas.

We learn that Judges Niblack and llovey
occupied last week in the canvas of Dubois
and the back part of Spencer county. Judge
Niblack opened the canvas at Jasper, before
the arrival Of Judge IIovey while the court
was setting, which secured him a good au-
dience; but his speech, correspondent in
forms us, failed to awaken a single applause
or token of appreciation. From Jasper,
Niblack went alone on the next day to
Haysville, but rs only four or five persons
had assembled, he apologized and withdrew
without speech. At Huntingburgh, Judge
Hovey met him, and they made speeches to-
gether at that place, Taylorville, Fuldah and
other precincts. In the discussion, we are
informed that Judge Niblack boldly declar-
ed that he had cast no vote, which he would
not give again under the same state of facts.
He has nothing to repent Of or apologize for
in his past acts. He would again vote--if
presented under the original circumstance
to impose the Leconlpton Constitution upon
Kansas though it were rejected by nine
tenths of its inhabitants. lie adopts the
Bright doctrine that the authority of a con-
| stilutional convention is absolute, and its
acts need no confirmation by the people
A correspondent says that after repeated
home questions from Judge Hovey, whether

under Free State constitution-with the
same population As hc had voted she should
be received under the Lecompton Constitu.

understood to intimate, that he could mo-

A Remarkable Change OF Sentiment.

In February last, Mr.. Calvin Fletcher was
very indignant at an imputation cast upon
him by the State Sentinel that he had some
completely and connexiou with the new State
Bank, and he occupied more than column
of that paper with an article to prove that
he had not been contaminated by, or could
not be induced in any way TO sanction it,
Mr.. Fletcher, in that communication, said:
Without claiming to be entitled to the
compliment you are pleased TO bcstow upon
me, of I" eminent financial abilities" long
observation has taught me that a completely
in frauds, however much they may appear,
at the time, TO enrich the party, usually re-
suit disastrously. And this has been vcri-
fled in an eminent degree in the last few
years in the frauds committed by the Audi
tors, who were supposed to have made for
tunes; and in the disposition of the swamp
lands, which, if honestly administered,
should have largely swclled the school-hnds
of the State.
| The results OF such observation alone
would have taught me TO droid ann connec-
ton nth an institution ,chOse franchises ,cere
obtained by such means as hare been exposed
| by the report OF the Senate Investigation
! Committee, and which but few of the party
presses of the State, either Republican or
| Democrat, have had the holiness to present
to the people.
Notwithstanding these deliberate express
sions of sentiment as to the business danger
and moral culpability of an association with
the Bank Of the State OF Indiana, he aud
! Thos. II. Sharp, who has the same opinion
of the iniquity Of the new State Bank as
Mr.. Fletcher, publicly announce that they
| have just purchased Il control Of the Madi-
son Branch, of this fraudulently-b cgotton
bank. The inquiry naturally arises which
has changed, the bank or MeSSrS Fletcher
and Sharpe? Has the institution he
come virtuouS, or have those gentlemen lost
their chastity

JEHr CLANCY JONES AND NrBLAcx.-The

JEHC uLAkCf JONEs AND NlbLASh. ~
position of these two worthy servants Of Mr..
Buchanan is so similar as to make the fol-
lowing comments Of the Philadelphia Press,
upon Jehu's struggle for reelection in the
old Democratic banner district of Pennsyl-
vania, strikingly applicable to Niblack,s
efforts to secure a reelection in the strong
est Democratic district of Indiana. Their
course has been similar and their fates will
be alike. The old, hard listed Democracy,
in both districts-both of which have known
no change since Democracy has had an Or
ganization-will repudiate these renegades
to IFS principles The Press says:
Berks county, TO a dead certainty, means
to repudiate the renowned Jehu. We have
a lively sense of the ridiculous and, there
fore, regret that we lost the rich treat, at the
Court house, in Reading, on Tuesday week,
when the illustrious Jehu volunteered an
orator;cal defence of his impolicy and dere-
LECTION Of principle-6efore any one had
thought it worth while to question him
about either. That must have been an eX-
hibitiou, after all, as melancholy as amusing.
For it is a sad thing 10 see q public man,
thrust into position TO which he bad not
capacity enough to do any thing like justice
presenting himself before his incensed con-
stituents, foundering in the mire of inter
failure, and torturing his limited faculties TO
present some thing like an apologize ex-
PLANTATION Of his conduct
The old philosopher said that one of the
most sublime spectacles was great man
bravely struggling with unmeritcd misfor-
tune. Had the Greek lived in our time,
and beheld the tragic farce of Jehu Jones
self-vindicatory exhibition at Reading, he
would have said, as n conclusion TO his first
aphorism, that about the meanest sight on
earth was a trading politician, vainly en-.
deavoring to persuade a crowd of honest
and indignant men that black was white,
that flunkeyism was independence, that the
worse was the better reason, that he himself
who has disappointed their hopes and be-
trayed their confidence, ought, therefore
again to be placed in position where he
could repeat all that they so justly com.
planned OF.
The Press consoles Jehu with prospect
of place, when discarded by his constitu
cuts, in the kitchen of the White House
where he still may wear the livery of Blu
cbanan, of which he is so proud and ambi
tious. We would suggest that should Jehl
/ need an assistant, fond Of the same honor
able badge Of service, well fitted for tn,
same duties-his Lecompton co-laborer from

may need his aid.

J. d. DEFEEEs.-Mr. Porter, the Republi-
can candidate for Congress opened the can
vas by speech at indianapolis on Wednes-
day. lie was followed by Mr.. DefreeS in a
few brief remarks, in which he said that he
was too well known in Indiana to allow
anybody to believe that he would let any
private disappointment cause him TO disre-
gard his duty to the country. He would
give his influence, as he had always done to
the cause of Republicanism and Freedom
This declaration was loudly applauded, and
was, says the Journal "juSt what might have
been expected from Mr.. Defrees' honorable
and self sacrificing disposition RI. Ryan,
Esq, one of the big :oratorical guns of the
Douglas Democracy, was present and made
n short speech. He declared his intention
to support Ray for Congress, but he would
have TO pledge himself to vote for the adj
mission of Kansas without regard to the
English bill. If he refused, he would drop
him like hot potato. Ray is certain not
to do ii, and Dick will be compelled to drop
him.

In adjusting the merits OF the past, and
receiving pledges of the future, it will be
we'll for the Democrats to whom Judge Nj
black appeals to endorse his course, to ask
what he thinks of Morrilrs Land Bill for
the endowment of Agricultural Colleges,
and if he is ready to support it with the de-
votion he gave to the Lecompton act? Be
fore answering, he will probably ask time to
learn the Presidents will and pleasure on
the subject, and will "acquiesce' in that be
it what il may.
