The following appears to be the result on
Congressman in Indiana. The legislature
is claimed by the democrats, while the state
ticket is in doubt:
Is. District.-A p Hovey, antiL Dem.
I'd Uist-Wm ii. English, dem.
81 Dist.-Wm. NJ. Dunn, rep.
Attn DiH.-W. S. IIol an, anti-L. Dem.

10Th Dist-Charles Case, rep.
1lM Uist-John Z. Petit, rep.
We observe, in looking over the list OF
cansidates as made up before the election,
that wherever the issue was squarely pre-
scntcd of Lecompton Democrat on one
side and Republican on the other, the
democrat is invariably defeated, Except
only in Florences district, and Florence
was supported by ForneyD while every anti
Lccompton democrat was elected, although,
as in Hickman s and other districts, running
as third candidate, with both a republic
We have not taken the pains to institute
similar comparison in the case Of Ohio,
but hare 40 doubt, similar result would
be shown in every case. When the demo
Gratis took the anti Lecompteu as well as the
antiRcpnbtcaa ground, they have been
successful, while whenever they have I'M
dertaken to csrry the dead weight Of lie
compton, they are nowhere.
What a rebukc is this to the dastardly
effort in high official quarters, to load down
the democracy with this dead and buried
old issue; and what encouragement is this
to the democracy of Illinois. who havs stood
by the Cincinnati platform and scoute ed this
test
Who will now say that Douglas is con-
demned by the United democracy of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana. In all these
states, but one democrat is returned to Con-
gress. while ten or fifteen, at least, who
took the Douglass ground, are triumphant.

OK DIE DIR. Bailey of the National Era,
devOtcs four columns to it's consideration,
and comes To the conclusion which must be
arrived at By every profound thinker and
sagacious politician, that if the Republican
party IS to live, it must maintain it's organ-
cation and its principles in their purity
There must be no compromise for expeden-
cy-no dropping, for the present, principles
to secure n temporary and local triumph
The d. ctor says:
'ShaN tie Rep rblicans forsnenr, eo,npro-
mise, dbate or hotd back any Of their princi-
PLes-ths principles We have stated-for the
sake of forming coalitions promising tempo
rary and local success, or for the purpose
Of disarming prejudices, or whining over
conservatism, deemed dangerous and en-
barrassing Let the man who has hitherto
harbored such an idea seriously consider the
views We have presented, and then answer
the question.
1--WE anticipate the answer Of all our read.
ers. The battle must be fought to the end
as it has been begun, and waged openly.
fairly, squarcly for principles. The issues
we have stated must be and will be settled
before others can engross the public mind
Should the Republicans prove false to their
convictions, surrender our principle to the
Fillmore Know Nothings, as they are called
upon by certain influential Republican pa
pers to do, the conflict will be by that very
act decided against them. Success could not
change the result. Let them go into con.
test agreeing, for the sake of coalition with
Fillmore Americans, to ignore the real issues
between them and the slavery democracy,
voting for men and with men who ac1ui-
esce in the bred Scott aicta, and in suuatter
sovereignty, as defined BY Dou LAS, and let
them carry the day,-what will they gain
Precisely the rrpudiation Of their principles
and the ratification 9fthe principles Of their
adrersdrics."
DR.. Bailey wrote the above for the me-
ridian Of New York What would he say
if he read Trumbull's Edwardsvile handful
denouncing the aboltionsts, or o. c. Gray's
speech at Tonica, trying to prove that there
was no difference between the democrats
and republicans on the question of admitting
new states with or without slavery?

Important Declaration by Judge Doug
las.

A correspondent of the St Louis Repubi.
can, giving an account Of the speech OF
Judge Douglas at Benton, Franklin county,
Illinois, says:
"Judge Douglas then proceeded to notice
and denounce the charge which has been
circulated, that he, during the last winter
had held consultations with the Black Re-
publicans and attended their caucuses at his
own house, or elsewhere. He denounced
the charge as an unmitigated talsehood, de
clared that he had never attended Black
Republican caucus in his life at bis own
house or elsewhere, nor had he ever given
an assurance, directly or indirectly. to any
mortal man, that in any event or contingent
cy, he would ever abandon the principles Of
the democratic party. or support any other
than those which he had always proclaimed
in the Nebraska bill as he avowed them in
the Senate Of the United States and since his
return home. His statements on these
points were full, direct and conclusive. lie
characterized this as one of the inventions
of the abolitonists and their allies, to create
distrust in the democratic party, and thus
weaken it for the benefit of the Black Re-
publcans. These remarks l should add,
were made. referring directly to an article
re.publishOd in the Missouri Republican
from the Jefferson City Examiner"

Drytown.

STABBlNG AT DRyTowN-Last Sunday night
at Drytown, one Juan Margardo, assaulted
Manuel Monticino, in his own house, with a
large knife, coming up behind him. Monti-
cino was badly cut in the back, but turned
upon his assailant, beat him soundly, and
with the assistance of some friends, tied him.
Marigardo was detained by them until Mon
day morning, when he was delivered over to
the Justice in Drytown. The Grand Jury
being in session at this place, he was brought
to jackson by Deputy Sheriff Keadhead
and bill was found against him on Tuesday.
Dr. Benjamin informs us that Monticino's
wound is serious one, but that be will re-

in the Court of Sessions, and convicted of an
assault with deadly weapon.

The Mineral Lands. Again.

The discussion upon the question of asking
the General Government to cede the mineral
lands to the State, has not yet taken place
in the Assembly, but is fixed, we believe, for
Monday next.
We have written and published considcra-
BILE upon this subject, and viii not now re-
peat but let the members from the mining
counties, at least, remember that their con
stituents expect them to do their duty-to
stand up like men for the rights of those
whom they represent. Remember, that who
ever votes to have the mineral lands ceded to
the State rotes 10 take array the government Of
the mines from The miners and that member
from mining county who will so betray his
constituents, in the matteI of their chief in
terest, and must be either beside himself, or
else have some selfish object in view that he
expects to have promoted rs the price of his
dereliction.
We have confidence that there is good
sense, honesty and fairness in the Legislature,
and that project Of asking the General Gov
ernment to take away the mines from the
miner cannot succeed in either house.
