6 Some only ct for every age, su
And some names 1T for youth
Some passing sweet and musical,
Some horribly uncouths
Some ct for danes and lofty maids.
Some only nj or s~eullery maids.
I Aunistoo plain and common,
And Nancy sounds but i'll
rvo Yes Anna il endurable
And Annie better still.
There il o grace in Charlotte.

Another reason why the "Pocket" ought
to be ably represented is that from our geo
graphical situation we have no combinations
of interest; while every other party of the
State can combine interests, the Pocket Is
a,m,s an sioutsider and sh ul therefore,
be prepared to have its rights represented
with ability. . .tI|
Then let Us, sthe people," have free in
terchange of opinion by public meetings or
otherwise. Let the very best names of our
citizens irrespective of party or sect) be
placed before the electors for their suffrage,
and if we fail to return them the fault will
not be with US or those that vote for them,
hut with those who prefer TO DO otherwis
For myself, ! think, that Evansville, city
claiming TO be the Commercial Capitol oil
the State, should have at least one represen-
tati,e of acknowledged ability, experience
and integrity, capable Of taking the lead in
the legislation OF the State instead Of fol-
lowing in the wake of others.

gSS- The parasites of Bill English in the
New Albany Ledger Office have seized upon
a misprint that got into few copies of the
Journal to charge it with falsehood. The
typographical error was obvious TO every
one and even to those who perverted an ac-
cideat to the purposes fslanderand vitupera-
ton, for which they show the vie propen-
sity which all base men have to bring other
men to the level of their own degradation.
These hatterers Of Bill English, assume
too, that because the journal argued against
some of the unreasonable objections TO the
practical operations of the English bill, that
therefore it endorsed all its principles, AND
who reported il to the House, and it canSS
therefore, say anything against his r.
election. We have never complainea of the
practical results of the form of election pro-
vided by it, which every one foresaw would
doom the Lecomplon constitution but We
have never ceased TO denouncc the sacrifice
and concession of principle which it involy-
ed The bill is a gross inconsistency in it.
self. 1t practically submits the constitution
to a vote, while it ignores aud abandons the
principle of the right of the people to adopt
or reject their organic laws. 1t was the
trcachery of the man who had been the pro-
fesSed champion ofthis fundamentalp principle
of popular rights, who yielded and
sacrificed it at the pinch when itshould have
been vindicated and settled for all time to
come, that we have persistcntly denounced
as treason and swindlc.
But our adherence Of Bill English rs Il
the Kansas controversy, but from n close OBJ
servance of his character and course for
twelve years. We have lived in his district
and taken part in its politics. and we still
have interests and many associations in it,
and subscribers there TO whom We have q
right to speak. We have had opportunities
and occasion to scrutinize the man, and in
spite of desire to think we'll of one whom
the people of the District had 50 fire.
qucntly honored, we have had the most un.
favorable opinions of his ability and politi
cal integrity forced upon us. We have N,
partizan prejud ices to warp our judgmen
and no personal antipathies to crafty; bu
our convictions are all so strong against him
that to use our limited influence against hi
reelection is to Us n public duty. Beior
the close Of the Kansas question we ma,
have an opportunity to tell what We know
Of him.

The Peoples Reform Party OF San
EranciscO.

The organization of this party took place
Immediately ON the dissolution Of the Vigi-
lance Committee in 1856. II Came into
power on the frst election thereafter, and so
equitable has been its administration Of the
city affairs that it still maintains its hold
on the masses; and will, probably, succeed
at the coming election. The manner in
which its nominations are made is as fol-
lows: \ nominating committee, consisting
of two members from each of the L. districts
OF lhe city. was appointed by the nominating
committee Of 1851. This nominating COM
mittee was submitted for ratification or re-
lection to district meetings Of the people
The nominating committee Of 1858, thus
chosen, has been sitting for two weeks cam
wasting the claims of candidates for Office
They succeeded in completing their labors
on the 18th. The following is the ticket
selected:
Caleb Burbank for the WITH District
Judge, 5. II. Brodie for XIIth District
Judge, f.. W. Burr for President of the
Ford OF Supervisors, ii. :. Brown for Dis
trict-Attorney, f.. Mickle for Auditor. C. r.
Bond for Asse s)ror, III. p. Coon for Police
Judge, NJ. j. Burke for Chief Police, George
u. Hossefross for Superintendent of Streets.
w. Y. Patch for Tax Collector and Lewis P.
Sage for Public Administrator. The candi-
dates for President of the Board of Super
yisors, District Attorney, Auditor, Assessor
Police Judge and Tax Collector are the
present inenmbents.

We call the earnest attention Of our citl-
zens to the following communication from
a most respectable and influential source, on
the importance of securing an able reprcscn-
tation in the next Legislature. The people
Of the State never had as large pecunary in
tercsts involved in the Legislation of the
State, as they will have in the action of
the next Legislature. IL is time that the

the opportunity will te lost:

The next session of the Legislature will he
the most important in regard to State in
terestS, that has ever been held since the for
nation of the present State constitution, and
the action of that body, for good or evil,
will be felt for years on tho progress Of In

We, the people, are the Sovereigns."
Gu US devolvos the duty ofappointing agents
to make, 70 alter, or to amend our Laws. If
we are true to our country, to our district,
to our city, We will Use our best endeavorS
to send TO Indianapolis our very best man.
Men of experience, of good judgment, in
tegrity and talents. Are we faithfully per-
forming our duty? Are the candidates now
before the people the most suitable men TO
fill those responsible stations? If they are
not, it is the duty of every voter TO eudeavor,
by his voice and influence, 10 induce the best
| and most suitable men to consent to he voted
for. And it is the duty ofevery good citi-
zen to serve the people when he can do so to
the general good of the country.
There has been no time for years when
the united action of the whole people was
more needed to secure positive general
good, and no time when that general action
could be less interfcred with 10y "party pol
tics" No United States Senator to elect.
No Presidential candidate to advance or

expected to devote their time and talents TO
the advancement of the States interest,
amongst which will be the funding safely
our valuable common shool fund, now
amounting to near three millions Of dollars,
more ,han half of which is passing from the
old State Bank to the custody of the Sink

Revenue laws will have to be enacted:
laws regulating interest and usury will, per-
haps, be rcuodeled; all these require much
financial experience good Judgment and
gearral ability.

pB- The Hon. All Q EaDge, Republican

bs~ The Hon. All LANCE, Republican
candidate for Auditor of State, has been
several days in this city, and been very cor
daily and Hospitality received by our Ger
man as well as by oil other citizens. His
visit has aroused a good deal of enthusiasm
for the success of the ticket with which his
political fortunes are connected. His honest,
frank, cordial manners have made q most
favorable impression upon all classes of peo-
PIE, and the Germans have had their nation
al sympathies and pride awakened for the
success of fellow countryman who, if
elected, will be the first German who has
ever held an in. or ant State Office. He ad-
dressed meeting at Apollo Hall last eve
ming, composed mostly Of Germans, and was
enthusiastically applauded.
The Hon. John II. Harper, Of 81. Joseph,
candidate for State Treasurer, is here OH his
first visit to Southern Indiana. He thinks
the Pocket poor soil for the seed of Republic
canism; it is too densely Swallowed by the
clouds of old line Democracy for the rays
of the sun Of political truth to reach its
surface and mature the good fruit. Expect
ing no harvest, he abandons its culture; but
he is hopeful and confident Of a triumph for
his ticket in the State at large Mr.. Harper
is a thorough business man, of great expe-
riencc and intelligence, and, if elected, will
make most excellent State Treasurer, and
worthy successor Of the present honest
cellent canvasser, and in productive
field would work with great success.
