Eay" We had agreeable visit from our
able contemporary of the yincennes Gazette,
who came to take note Of the progressive
changes in our fourishing city and to spend
the Sabbath in communion lie was
agreeably surprised at the evidences of our
prosperity and growth after an interval of
two years. lie has recently returned from
an excursion through the country on the
Upper Mississippi and Missouri to the west
ern confines of Iowa and Missouri and over
the beautiful prairies of Nebraska and Kan
sas. He has returned with the conviction
that there is no region where industry and en-
terprise are surer of higher and more certain
results than in the still uncultivated resources
of Southern Indiana. We were rejoiced to
find him true and loyal to the cause of anti
Lecomptonism and an advocate for the cleo
ton of Hovey. Mr.. Mason controls the
sharpest and ablest pen IN this district, and
IN the present campaign will use il TO a
f ,,r,,ns.

Be- The following are the only resolu-
tons adopted by the Republican Convention
at indianapolis on Friday:
Resolrcd, That we re-afiirm aud endorse
the platform of principles adopted by the
Republican State Convention on the 4th OF
March last.
Resotred, That we are opposed TO the
present Administration and its supporters,
for their open and undisguised efforts to ex-
tend the dominion of slavery; for their de-
termination TO force upon Kansas Consti-
tuition designed in fraud and repudiated by
an overwhc' ming nujority of her citizens;
for their opposition to q fair submission OF
such Constitution to vote OF the people, as
proposed by the Crittenden- Montgomery
amendment; for their discrimination in fl-
vor of the admission of slave States; for
their attempt, through n partisan judiciary,
to carry slavery into all the Territories; for
their waste of public monies; for their sane
ton of fraud and usurpation, in the admis-
sion of Bright and Fitch to seats in the Uni
ted States Senate; and for their hostility to
every true interest of the country.

RE5-Thc proposed convention at Prince
ton ON the 18th inst, has been abandoned
we are happy to announce, by those who
projected il, as unnecessary. Its design was
not, as VIC were miSled to suppose, inimical
to the election of Judge Hovey, and, as
feared, to bring out a third candidate, but to
unite the entire anti-Lecompton strength in
lIovey's support. 1t has been found on
consultation ind comparing notes, that the
unanmity with which all parties in oppos-
ton to the Kansas policy of Mr.. Buchanan,
and the proiiigate corruption and extraya-
gance of his administration, have voluntarily
come up to the support of Judge Hovey for
Congress, renders the assembling of the peo-
pie, at this busy season, TO confirm what
they have already determined to accom-
plish, Supcrogatory measure. Those who
proposed it in the northern part of the dis
trict were not aware of HOvey's strength in
the range of river counties. They made the
proposal as means TO arouse adeeper inter
est in the anti-Leeompton cause and TO
suppress by some manifestation Of public
sentiment in Judge IiOvey favor, the hopes
of certain restless aspirants of different po-
litical stripes, who were busy sowing dis
sentioRs We arc now well satisfied that
the purpose was an honest and loyal one,
with its first movers. But they have them
selves become convinced that the convention
is unnecessary, and might be attended with
more evil than good. If any one has any
uncomfortable aspiration to run against
Judge Hovey as third candidate, with a
view of drawing the anti-Lecompton sup
| port from him, let the ambitious candidate
| come into the river counties, and lie will
meet with an expression of public condem-
nation that will soon cure him of the am
bition. No such movement will meet with
any liberation here. The cause is too inn
portant too allow ii TO be sacrificed to any
minor considerations of personal or clique
| interests. The man who now attempts tc
obtrude himself and his pretensions upon
the party, will receive rebuke that will
lay him down to rest in obscurity, for 6
season at least.

Gus is the most imperative duty of true
Lecomptonite Dissent or rebellion is visit

the dicta and platforms framed by Demo-
cratic conventions, from the beginning of the
government, but if he bolts Convention
if he does not submit himself willing and
obedient slave to the direction OF party
caucus, he is prescribed and pursued with
unrelenting fury by the ours of the party
Hovey, Davis, Hicks, and every independent,
honorable Democrat in this vicinity, who,
adhering to the old and ge-u ne principles of
their party, have had the manhood to refuse
to sacrifice their honest convictions, have
been denounced by the party organs, set on
by their masters and owners, who have
joined in the cry of renegade, apostate,
bolter, and yelped at the heels of these hon.
orablc men every defamatory epithet in
their billingsgate vocabulary. In this
concert of denunciation, no one has been
more severe than the Enquirer Its doc
trine has been that every honest, independ-
ent sentiment of his own, and bring his
views down in exact conformity to the plat
form of the caucus that dominates him.
But once accepted:by Convention, every
loyal partizan is bound to give him jealous,
unquestioning support.
The Enquirer of Saturday, threatens a
course in strange inconsistency with this
doctrine. 1t declares that if Messrs. Gavitt
and Stinson do not exculpate themselves
from certain suspicious, and answer its
queries satisfactorily to itself, it will repu-
diate them as candidates, and deprive them
of the party's support; it erccts a tribunal
of its own before which they are summon

openly avowed their views, aud defined
their position before the convention that
accepted and nominated them. The action
Of the convention was conclusive, and every
member of the party is bound by pledges in
caucus TO give them hearty support unless
released BY the convention 70 whom the
pledge was given.
The Sheriff, or no other person has au-
thority to revise its doings or set them
aside If he attempts to do it, he is boil
ter, and regulates the doctrine that he has
preached as a fundamental of the party. II
tie Sheriff of Vanderburssh has usurped the
power to determine who shall be supported
Us candidates and who not, the Lecompton
party had better dispense with its trouble
some machinery of caucuses, and save Mr.
Rudd the labor of travelling the District to
post hand bills for conventions, and resign
the direction of affairs to the editor of the
Enquirer.

AT THE RErrBLrcAS Convention, in the
Sixth District, which assembled at Indian
apolis on Friday, Mr.. Albert G. Porter-to
the disappointment of Mr.. J. D. Defrses'
Congress He is very young lawyer, and
a seceder from the Democratic ranks in 1854.
The Journal says;
That on the stump he has few equals in
eloquence, and in the closet no superior in
industry He can work and he can talk with
the best men in the State in any party, and
his opponent will have the most fiery trial
that any candidate ever endured in the
acute and unrelenting attacks he must meet.
We doubt if in the whole State, a man more
admirably fitted for the public discussion OF
the questions now before the people, and
with the man who must meet them, could
be found, than our candidate.
The Sentinel draws the following reverse
picture of the gentleman, who is likely, we
presume, to be the successor of Mr.. Gregg ::
Mentally lac is hair splitter of eXces-
sive nicely. His political principles are
merely questions of convenience and inter
est. But short time ago he was rampant
in favor of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and bitterly denounced the men
who now do him homage as Black Repub-
licans. On the eve of the last Presidential
election he DOTTED his Democracy, like beauty
only skin deep, and put on Fremontism,
calculating that upon the heels of an cxeit-
ing and closely contested canvass his treach-
cry would produce a powerful impression
upon the public mind and make him the
Ajar of Republicanism. His desertion
caused not a ruffle upon the surface it did
not even excite establishment. He went
over to the enemy alone.
1t exhibits painful lesson Of the graft
tude of political parties when we see new
convert, renegade from old associations,
adopted and the long and faithful services
of J. d. Defrees, forgotten or set aside.
