Indiana.
The State Convention under the tutelage of
Senator Bright and Judge Hughes of Congress,
and Gov. Willard. fixed up Indiana sentiment
on the Kansas question TO suit the programme
laid down by the Cabinet. The nominations
were made and the Con. adjourned to meet
the s1me evening to hear speeches and have .
good time generally. During the afternoon.
Aquilla Jones, the nominee for Treasurer wrote
a letter declining the nomination because Of the
platform. In the evening beautiful time was
had. Wallace. Of Montgomery, Judge Hol-
man, Judge Lowry. Col. Walker Of La Porte
and many other fearless specimens of Young
Am, RIGA, went at The platform, against much Of
the old talent Of the Convention, and finally
succeeded in passing resolution endorsing the
position Of Mr.. Douglas. In this work, the
men We have named, have saved the State
Judge Lowry and the writer of this were not
the best Of friends at tn" last State Convention,
but if it were ross'b to rcach from McGrcgor

Col. Walker Of La Porte on the side of the
people against patronage, and though there
may have been in times past, one or two slight
causes of irritation between Us, we have now

The La Porte Times, We arc sorry to see,
turns square about on the Kansas question and
in an elaborate article attempts to excuse itself
onthe ground Of having been too impulsive -
The "Poct Editor" is not a good guide in poll

narlier hostility to the Nebraska Bill than his
late confession indicates, but he recovered from
that and we credited him with entire health on

There is now established in New York a
"Children's Aid Society,"" It's object is to
send to the West, young girls of good charac.
tes and industrious habits who have been thrown
out OF employment by the closeness of the
times. Agents are appointed in every county
in the West to receive applications from those
wanting "help" of the character to be supplied
1t is expected that those who select girl of
any desired description will advance the money
for her fare and deduct it from her wages when
she is sufficiently instructed to earn anything.
We speak of obstruction because many of
them are not accustomed to house work and it
might be long time before they would be
valuable. Some one has informed us that

Thomas Updegrahf, Esq, at Gutenberg, is the

lot, and that among the little beauties some one
may be fortunate enough to play smash with
his bachelor philosophy. How, as Clerk Of the
Court, Thomas can issue marriage licenses to
others and lend his valuable aid in superintend-
ing female emigration, without catching the
