sA- The Hon. Abram Lincoln, in his
speech at Cincinnati, asserted that neither
himself nor Mr.. Seward, was the author of
the sentiment that, the Union would some
time become all free or all slave-that a
house divided against itself could not stand
that there was an "irrepressible conflict |"
between slavery and freedom-bat that in
1856, the Richmond Enquirer, edited by
Roger A. Pryor, who has since conducted
Douglas paper in Washington City-first
expressed the idea. He said that venerable
Democratic sheet, the acknowledged organ
OF the Democracy of Virginia, was to be
credited with the first direct expression of
the opinion that the Union must become all
free or all staye-that there was an irre.ist-
able conflict ETC.

was to embark at Liverpool, on his return
home, on last Saturday. His visit to Europe
has been, in all respects satisfactory. He
was received in the most cordial and
distinguished manner by the scientific men
of England, France'and Switzerland The
greater part of the time of his absence has
been passed among his relatives and friends
in Switzerland; and just before he left, the
Naturalists of that country held meeting
atGenevato give an emphatic expressions of
their high appreciation of their eminent
countryman. His scientific labors in this
country have added greatly to his European
reputation; and the position he holds before
the world, especially since he declined the
offers of the Emperor of the French, has
done not a little to elevate the character of

WASHINGTON lTENs.-Judge Douglas de-
nounces openly in the public places of
Washington, the article in the Constitution
replying to his Popular Sovereignty article
in Harper. Brown, the editor of the Con-
stitution, asserts that Judge Black was the
author of the reply to Douglas.
Gov. Medill, First Comptroller, was to
proceed to Ohio on the 2lst, in order to coun-
teract the effect Of Douglas speeches.
The President is quietly engaged in ar
ranging the materials for his forthcoming
message. The Secretaries are also engaged
on their reports.

Democratic Harmony.

We believe there has been scarcely DEM
ocratic Convention held this year, in which
there was not more or less discord. We
scarcely look over an exchange which does
not contain an account of some Convention
that broke up in confusion, or which was
disgraced by scenes that would give the
blush to the Five Points. IN Spencer and
various other counties of this State, in Penn
sylvania, New York, and, but very recently,
in Cincinnati, the same spirit Of rowdyism,
seems to have been the predominant ele-
ment in these Convocations of the party.
Brute force has usurped the place of rea-
son, and men are no longer powerful by the
strength of their intellects, but from the vi
tality and vigor of their muscles. The hard
er blow man can strike and the more efli-
Gent he proves himself in a rough and tum-
BILE fight, the better is he fitted for the pri-
mary meetings that select the candidates for
the SURFACES of the people, and the more
eager are politicians for his aid.
These scenes are the logical results of the
caucus system. Accustomed to seeing the
people bow submissively before the nomi-
nees of the party, whoever he may be.
regardless of his past life, or present charac-
ter, politicians have concluded it is but little
consequence what instrumentalties are used
to secure a nomination, that no one will go
behind the convention, and that the cry of
"party," will stife the indignation of the
most refractory. The most bitter contests
that we have, are those between rivals for
the nomination to some office in the same
party.
This caucus system has been growing
worse for years, and this year, has made
itself extremely offensive to the most in
different. The evil, we think, will work its
own cure. Already the people are begin
uing to set their faces against the system,
and the time is not great ways of, when
a nomination by caucus convention for
some petty county Office, will be equivalent
to defeat.
Another element of discord in the Demo-
cratic party, and which seems to out crop
at almost every convention, is the difference
of opinion that exists in its ranks on
some of the most vital questions of the
day. There are Administration men and Doug
las men Tariff men and free trade men !;
bank men and anti-bank men; fre-eaters
and conservatives, all attempting TO carry out
their particular views and all sailing under
the banner of Demo- racy. These differences
Of opinion are all fought on. in the primary
meetings. After the nominations are made,
the desire for the spoils holds the ranks
steady. Hitherto success has attended the
Democrats, Notwithstanding their family
jars. But this will not always be so. Each
succeeding fight is more sanguinary than
the former, and the strength of the party is
greatly impaired in these domestic conflicts.
Large numbers daaw off at every outbreak,
and unless these wounds are healed, the
dissolution of the party is inevitable. Sue
cess itself but renews the family war,
and proves more disastrous than defeat.
Defeat is the only remedy that will purge
the party of its impurity, and that remedy
is in store for it,

AMERICAN
Wholesale Clothing House:


II Clothing trade Of the West was comparatively
Of small amount, and was confined almost exclu-
siyely 10 a retail business in the larger towns aud
cities alone. Now this line OF Goods has become
an almost indispensable part Of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city 70
tho cross-road stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the lest Of reasons. Among these are the great
saving Of material by cutting a large quantity Of
garments together-the superior work and speed of
sewing machines in manufacturing-t great saw
ing Of time in waiting for your "turn" at the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty Of then getting a salts
factory t,'' and above all the sayir of at least
oReLalf the cost Of the garment in IL price. For
a number of years this has only been part Of our
general Dry Goods business, but have made
arrangements 10 devote our whole house exclu-
sivey to it alone with such lines of Notions and
Furnishing Goods as viii be necessary and desirable
in that trade. Believing that the true interest of
the trade will be to sustain in this enterprise
we would respectfully announce that now have
on hand one of the largest and most desirable
stocks Of WE'LL MADE CLOTHING that
ever offered 20 the trade Of the West.
We respectfully solicit call from all our old
friends and the trade generally. We charge moth
ing for snoring goods, and not saac. If you bug

buyers ~ lowas any house in the trade. liberal
discount also made on all cash sales.

sas~ During the firemen's muster at
Manchester, recently, serious riot took
place between the firemen and gamblers,
and several buildings were partially demol-
i;hed. Some other property was destroyed.
The gamblers used pistols, but were finally
driven oil, and two houses occupied by them
were completely Quilted. The mob next
attacked the American House and Museum
Buildings, breaking the windows.

A new telegraphic line was put IN opera
tion, between Lafayette and Michigan City,
on Wednesday last --r
The Convention of American Boilers,
which was called to meet at GAINESVILLE, ",
on the 20th-during the session of the Fair
was complete failure. Only three per-
sons made their appearance.
An unsuccessful forgery was attempted
on the Commercial Bank at Lafayette, re-
Gently. A check was presented by labor
ing man for $3.50. The cashier detected the
forgery, but the forger escaped.
A new Methodist church was dedicated
at Millersburg, Warrick county, on Sunday
last. The church is said to be one Of the
handsomest in the county, and is highly
creditable to the enterprise and good taste
of the denomination to which it belongs.
A counterfeiter, calling himself Cunning
ham, was arrested in Lafayette, on Monday
evening, for passing counterfeit money. The
money! five-dollar bill-was passed on
the clerk OF the Bramble House.
The little village ct the junction of the
E. & G. and o. l. NJ. Railroads is putting on
city airs. At recent meeting of the Coun-
Gil it was determined to have the town
lighted with gas, and also to fill up some of
the ponds of stagnant water, which have,
heretofore, been the fruitful source of chills
and fever.
The Annual Western Yearly Meet
ing of the Society Of Friends is now in ses-
sion at Plainfeld, Hendricks county. Large
numbers are said to be in attendance.
The proposition to make a new county
out of portions of Parke, Putnam and
Montgomery,-to be called Bourborn-has
beer decided by the Commissioners to be
unnecessary.
Pulling, charged with the murder of Mr..
Norton, in Vincennes, some weeks ago, was
tried in Davies county last week on change
of venue from Knox, and found guilty. He
was sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
A negro named Richie, was tried in the
Vigo Circuit Court this week, charged with
an assault on an Irish girl, with intent to
commit rape. He was found guilty, and
sentenced to State Prison for the term of
three years.
Charles Snyder was arrested, while he
was at the Democratic Convention, in Gin
sinnati, on Tuesday morning, on five dif-
ferent and distinct charges, which were
found by the grand jury; four of which
were for forgery, and one for perjury
Snyder is an official of the county, and his
arrest while he was laboring for the benefit
of his party, caused considerable excitement.
He was held to bail in the sum of Sc, 500,
which he gave promptly.
Parties at Fl. Wayne, with whom the State
Prison Commissioners contracted for the site
for the new penitentiary have completed
the sale to the State, and now propose to
have it settled by the inevitable "mandam-
us" whether the Governor can prevent the
Commissioners going on with their duty by
refusing to do his own duty; in other words,
whether the Commissioners cannot make a
legal purchase of the site after the Governor
has officially stated that he should not dis
approve their action. The case will raise
the whole question between the Governor
and the Commissioners, and give the Court:
a chance to decide which is right.

n6FIndiapa is the State marked above all


its neighbors for true originality in political
genius A new State Prison being needed,
as we can readily appreciate when we con-
slider the character of the people and their
State officers, the last Legislature empower
cd the Governor to appoint a Commission
which should first locate, then construct,
and afterwards direct such an institution.
The Commissioners pitched upon Terre
Haute, in utter disregard of the Governors
preference of New Albany The Executive
has, therefore, declined to sanction the
choice, and assumes to discharge the Com
missioners; but they, remembering that he
can't do it. and furthermore, that he has
himself had family trip down East this
Summer, to Washington, Cape May, New
port, and along shore, at the public expense,
"to examine the State Prisons Of other
States with reference to the one so to be con-
structed,n are not 20 be shaken of, and have
entered suit both for their SO per diem as
locating Commissioners and their 5000 sala-
ries as Directors. They argue that their
per diem continues because the Governor has
not accepted the location; and that their
salaries commence because they have COM
pleted the first so far as it has been in their
power.-N. Y. Tribune.
The fellow who edits the news column of
the Tribune frequently says very smart
things; but just as often is guilty of wri-
ting very ab,urdly. We cannot conceive
how any one, who has been in the habit of
looking over the papess published in this
State, could have made so many blunders
in one little paragraph, as is contained in the
above. If boy about our Office should
make such blunders, we would discharge
him, ON the ground that he was incapable OF
making even an ordinary compositor. When
the general correctness of the whole para
graph is taken into consideration, the slur
as to the character Of our people, in the in
PRODUCTION, will be appropriately appreciated.

he should try to become well enough ac-
uuainted with passing event to at leust state
