An Individual Platform.

Hon. Joseph Z. Mcdonald, who is a can
didate on the Lecompton ticket for Attorney
General, and who has been canvaSSing the
Pocket within the last two weeks, issued,
some time ago, the following profession of
faith, as his private platform. We have
never heard that he had taken it down, and
reconstructed another. The Enquirer should
have him up before its inquisitorial court

David II. Laird.

The best selection for the Legislature, in
Southern Indiana, that we have seen, is the
nomination of David T. Laird, of Rockport,
for the Senate, from the district composed
of Perry, Spencer and Warrick. Mr.. Laird
was an apprentice to the Hon. Milton Gregg,
in the Office of the New Albany Tribune,
where he obtained a solid education. lie
afterwards went into commercial life, where
he got good practical schooling in business
affairs; subsequently he took to books and
qualified himself for the bar, at which he
has attained highly honorable place.
The experiences of his life qualify him for
a most useful member of the Legislature
Combining a knowledge of the practical
wants of business and the theory and ope-
rations of laws as administered by courts, he
is peculiarly fitted to explain what laws and
notifications are wanted, and to aid in
adapting them TO accomplish the end in
tended by their enactment. He has been
in the Lower House and has had some ex-
perience in legislation. Few men combine
SO many and high qualifications, and his
district will do itself and the State a service
in giving it so useful member of the Leg
iSlature.

Buchanan and the Traitors.

Mr.. English is not the only "acquiescer
for whom Mr.. Buchanan is exerting his Of
fetal influence to gain reelection. An
derson, of Missouri, was elected to Congress
as an American, and last month entered
into conspiracy, which has since been ex-
posed, to transfer the American party, in
his district over to the Lecomptonites, on
condition that they should make no nomin-
alton in his district against him; in return
he pledged himself to support the Admins
tration measures in Congress, and finally
went over to the ranks of the Democrats.
#. In the canvas just closed all these condi-
tons of the bargains were carried out and,
in addition, Mr.. Buchanan wrote letters to
the District expressing an anxious wish for
the reelection of Col. Anderson, a protested
ultra Know Nothing, representing the
strongest American District in the State; a
man who is opposed to admitting foreign
ers to the rights of citizenship under less
than twenty-one years residence. Ander-
son was refused a nomination by the Amer
lean party, and run as an independent can
didate, and got the entire support of the
Lecomptonites, and the Presidents influence,
with a section of his old party that adhered
to him, and has been reelected we presume:

Let us have the Proof.

One of the prominent candidates of the
Lecompton State ticket, was in this city last
week. He did not hesitate TO declare that
his party must relieve itself of the oppres-
sive membranes of Jesse ID. Bright. His
tyranny and insuppOrtable pretensions, his
INSCRIPTIONS avarice, and the offensive
federal doctrine of his southern speech, pre-
pared for him by Slidell, made too great a
weigh. for the party to carry, even with its
"herculean strength"
We are prepared to state and prove, that
nc candidate on the Democratic "Lecomp-
ton State ticket" ever made such state
ment in Evansville.-EeansDiHe Enquirer.
We have the statement, and now let us
have the proof We will give two of the
best hats from Vautier's and Maeonier's es-
tablishment, if the Enquirer will make good
is assertions. We do not, on our mart
make statements, without authority.-Jour-
nal.

DOUGLAS on THE ENGLISH SwIyDLE-In
his Bloomington speech, Senator Doug
las used the following very Ineligible Ian
guage, which is almost the s,,urv language
employed by Judge IIovey in his letter and
speeches. We commend it to the Douglas
men who have been disposed to "acquiesce"
in the English swindle:
III did not consider the mode Of submits
sion provided, in what is known as the
"English'' bill, Il fair submission, and for
this simple reason among others: IL pro-
vided, in effect that if the people of Kan
sas would accept the Lecompton Constitu-
ton, that they might come in with $4,000
inhabitants, but that if they rejected it in
order that they might form Constitution
agreeable tn their own feelings and con-
formable to their own principles, that they
should not be received into the Union until
they had 1920 inhabitants. In other
words, il is said to the people if You will
come into the Union as a slaveholding State
you shall be admitted with $4,000 inllabi-
tants but if you insist on being free State,
you shall not be admitted until YOU have

\ CANDIDATE WITHOUT A PLATFORM TO

y CANDIDATE WITHOUT PLATFORM TO
STAND oS.-The Lecomptonites in this State,
who, while they were in the ranks of old
line Democrats, were great sticklas for
deliberately wrought platforms, have become
exceedingly shy Of them, and if they adopt
one, it is short and general, and can be
turned in one direction as well as another.
The Convention in the Sixth District that
nominated Ray last week, lodged the sub
ject Of platform in n very extraordinary
manner. The meeting appointed a COM
mittee on resolutions before the nomination
was made, but adjourned precpitately after
nominating Ray, without waiting to receive
any report; the labors of the committee
were entirely lost and Ray is cast aloat
without an authorized chart to steer by
He is left TO take his own course; to be a
platform unto himself The voters are
anxiously enquiring what is he? They are
sure he is not Lecomptonite, and with this
the majority will be content.

Secure OF SUGARs.-Nearly 800, 600
worth of sugars have been seized in New
York and Boston, all the property of house
in Cuba, sent on consignment TO houses in
the above cities for sale The shippers In
Cuba, to cheat our revenue, had invoiced
the sugars far below their value; and on
these false invoices they were entered. A
portion of the sugar had been sold, but was
seized in the hands of third parties. An eff
fort was made to induce the Secretary of
the Treasury TO release the goods but with
out success. Half the forfeited property
goes TO the government, the other to the
officer making the seizure. Our tariff laws
admitting goods upon foreign valuation
presents constant temptation to this kind
of fraud.

Crop, and Anairs I'm Iowa.

ST. CHARLES, Floyd Co., Iowa, July 81, %.
Mr.. CARLILE:-As it seems quite fashion,
able for newspaper editors to publish items,
with regard to crops, will give you the
result Of my observations in the Northern
part of this State Oats are very fine and
corn, with late season, promises well,
though less than usual was planted.
Spring wheat is the only kind raised here
and that, except the very early sown, viii pro-
duce u fair crop if good weather can be had
for the harvest, which is about being COM
menced.
There is much old grain in the country
and as the roads are so bad that it cannot
be carried to market, there are no fears, in
any event, Of high prices.
You viii judge Of the condition of the
roads by the fact, that we were four days
staging it, in four horse lumber wagons,
from the Mississippi, distance of ninety
miles, having occasionally to attach on
teams to haul US out of "bad fix"
On several occasions we forded streams
that, in spite of all effort, would wet our
baggage and the mails, while we kept dry
by mounting the baggage upon the seats and
sitting upon that.
Freight from the river, is from two to
three dollars per hundred, while in ordinary
seasons it is but one dollar.
They have a prospect of getting a rail
road soon, either to connect with a road
from Dubuque to Sioux City, or to extend
from some town lower down the river, up
the Cedar river to st. Paul.
Money is unusually scarce here, owing TO
the fact, that the "Old Line" constitution,
under which the State was organized, for
bid the creation of banks; but the " sober,
second thought of the people" has decreed
| otherwise; and under the new constitution
the Legislature has recently enacted bank
ing law, which vote of the people has Just
sanctioned.
If the Republican party would act con-
| sentative part, il would be a long time be.

attempt to raise banner in this section Of
the State, but fear that the rsdicalism and
petty jealousies of the leaders may soon
cause reaction in favor of the Administra.

the country, the party is ruined by it;

nW The immigration Of negroes into
some sections of Ohio is exciting a great
deal of alarm and indignation among the
people in the counties where the negroes are
congregating. At Xenia there is a negro
college, called the wilberforce Universe
ty," which has formed plan TO surround
itself with an entire negro community
The vicinity has already become "a land of
Goshen TO blacks. The Xenia Necs says
the college has a population of more than
500 negroes, mostly from the South, located
around it. The whole county is becoming
dotted with their cabins, and the cry is
"still they come" Lands in the county are
decreasing in value, and the white popula-
ton are removing to escape the inroadS OF
the blacks. The Inquiry is, what shall be
done to arrest the evil? The answer is,
prohibit, by law, their introduction. lfsuch
a course should be adopted in Ohio there
would be noaSsylum for the liberated blacks
in any Of the Northwestern States. Their
presence Is now proclaimed nuisance in
Canada, and they are likely to he soon shut
out from that country. The negro instead OF
emigrating North should seek his natural
ATTITUDES near the tropics. The real negro
philanthropist should help the annexation Of
Mexican territory with a view of providing
home under its genial skies for the black,
where he will find a society willing to toler-
ate him upon an equality, and where the
climate and spontaneous productions of ma
ture are suited to the negroes constitutional
habits. Policy and humanity proclaim,
push them South instead of bringing them
North.

SELF MADE MAN.-The State Sentinel
says Mr.. Ray, the nominee for Congress in
that district, in early life, served an ap-
premiership TO the blacksmith trade, and
was noted as an excellent horse sheer. The
field of ambition being open TO him, as it is
to every young American, he resolved to ac-
quire the profession of law, and with that
application for which he is distinguished,
step by step, he oytrcame the obstacles in
his pathway, until he acquired his present
eRviabie reputation at the bar, and in the

BANK CAsHIERs.-lt is reported as a his
torical fact that every cashier of the Bank
of England, save one, for one century past
has ended his life by suicide. In that ven
cradle and gigantic institution-which en-
braces little world within ITSELF the cash
Ter is the responsible premier, and among his
thousand employees some defalcations mex
plicab.e to the public must necessarily occur
in series of years; and such has been the
honorable sensitiveneSs of the cashiers of
the Bank that they have ever preferred
death to dishonor. Many funeral cortege
composed OF grey-haired bankers and states
men have traversed Threadneedle street,
while the corpse of an honest man, self-im-
molatcd, preceded it to the final shank of
deposit" where the rich and poor, the good
and bad, are all on a par"
1t is remarked as singular fact, that
among all the wide spread miSfortunes and
disastrous defalcations in American Banks,
they have never led to the self immola-
ton of single cashier, through grief or
remorse. A Tennessee paper thinks it
would be well for the Bank cashiers of
that State to ultivate the " sensitive con-
scientiousneSs of the cashiers of the Bank
of England, and when defalcation or a
failure occurs among their institutions, TO
take themselves, through grief and chagrin,
out of the way, TO world without discounts
or interest, and where renewals are eternal.
The suicides of about one-haf of them
would be a public blessing it is thought.
