The State Sentinel learns that the Re.
publican members of the Legislature will
endeavor to pass compensation bill! to in
demnify the Bogus Senators. for making
an effort to contest the seats of BRIGHT and
FITCH. In addition they will likewise try
to pass a concurrent resolution, declaring
that the election of LANE and McCARTY was
not farce-that it was not intended as "a

sented as further evidences of his legisla

SENATOR DOUGLAS AND THE PRESIDENCY.
The Chicago Times says, THAT Mr..
Douglas will not ask . nomination at the
hands of the Charleston Convention. If,in
that body his friends should present his
name and he be nominated he will not feel
at liberty to decline it; if they should not
present his name, then the nominee of the
convention will reciove his support. The
use of his name by any man or body of
men-as candidate for the Presidency or
any other Office, independent of and hostile
to the nominations of the Democratic party
lis altogether unauthorized by Mr..
Douglas, will never receive his sanction.
and is wholly repugnant TO his wishes and
desires. We say this much with full kno-
Wedge ofits truth, and knowing that We
express in this particular his own senti-
ments."

Fearless, that little mortal has passed alone

Death has come lovingly upon it; there is

The Veto Message.

The Michigan City Enterprise, con-
tains very sensible article on the veto
message of Gov Willard, as follows:
The Message of Gov Willard vetoing
the bill passed by the Legislature, provi-
ding for the election of other members of
the U S Senate than Bright and Fitch.
is document of considerable ability, and
is worthy of perusal by all those desirous
of becoming better acquainted with the
modus operrandi of electing U S Senators.
There is no question but the manner in
which Bright and Fitch were eleeted caus-
ed much dissatis faction-originating prin
cipally with the friends of other men who
coveted the place. But another fact is
equally apparent, that in their election, no
State law, nor principle ofrigM was viola
ted. In the absence Of any law enact
ment, prescribing the manner of electing
Senators. majority of the peoples repre-
sentatives cast their votes for Bright and
Fitch, and Gov Willard believing that ma
jorities should rule, certified to their elec-
ticn. Subsequently. the whole affair was
brought before the U S Senate, and after a
full Investigation of the facts. they were
declared the rightful and legal representa-
tives of Indiana in the U S Senate.
This. in brief. is history of tile case.
If wrong is done the people in the reten-
ton of these gentle men as our Senators.
it is the Constitution of our State which
deserves censure-not the Democratic par
tv nor Governor Willard, but the faulty
Legislation of our own State.
The State needs a new Constitution,
wherein shall be put down in plain Ian
guage all the rights pertaining TO our citi-
zens. as well as all necessary regulations
for their government
THE reader will bear in mind that the
Enterprise is Republican in politics, and,
consequently, would not be likely to show
the Democracy any more favors than they
are really entitled to.
In this connection we cannot refrain
from publishing an extract from the Mar
shall County Republican of last week. on
the same subject, that our readers may
compare the articles, both from papers
aiming 10 reflect the views of the Repub-
lican party. Speaking Outright and Fitch
the Republican says:
"We have yet to come across the first
Democrat In this county, who would un-
dertake to justify on legal or constitutional
grounds the pretended election of the
present occupants. The Democrat itself
has never attempted it and dare not on any
other ground than that they have been con-
firmed in their seats by the U S Senate. !"

The Monroe Doctrine.

Frequent references are made in Con.
gressional debates and newspaper articles
to the Monroe docrine;' but with the cir.
cumstances under which it was promulga-
ted, some of our readers may not be ia
miliar. After the downfall of the First
Napoleon, the four great powers of Europe
formed what was called The Holy Alli-
ance,' for the avowed purpose of shaping
the political institutions and controlling
the affairs of the inferior States. They de-
clared they would subdue rebellion in what
ever place i. might show itself; and when
the South American Colonies rose to throw
off the yoke Of Spain, it was feared that at
her instigatlon they would interfere to
crush the liberties of the triumphant Col
nists.
There were good grounds for this appre-
hension, as it was known that all the SYM
pathies of the Alliance were with Spain,
and that plan was set on foot to convert
the governments of the revolted colonies
into principalities, to be governed by mem
bers of the royal families of Europe. II
was under these circumstances tha. Presi-
dent Monroe, in his annual message to
Congress in December, 1928, used the
following language:
The political system of the allied pow
ers is essentially different from that oi
America. This difference proceeds from
that which exists 10 their respective gov
ernments. And to the defence of our
own, which has been achieved with SO
much loss of blood and treasure, and ma.
tured by the wisdom of the most enlight-
ened citizens, and under which we have
enjoyed the most unexamplcd felicity, this
whole nation is devoted. We owe it, there.
fore, to candor and the amicable feeling:
existing between the United States and
those powers, to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to er-
tend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous TO oar peace am
safety.
With the existing colonies or derenden-
cies of any European power we have moi
interfered, nor shall attempt to interfere
But with the Governments who have de-
clared their independence and maintained
it, and whose independence we have, after
great consideration and upon just princi-
Piles, acknowledged, We could not view
any interference for the purpose of op
pressing them or controlling in any manner
their destiny by any European power, III
any other light than as manifestation o
an unfriendly disposition towards the Uni
ted States
Of course, the President could no
pledge the United States to an actual re
siStance of the schemes of the European
Powers; but the country sympathized Will
the doctrine which he enunciated; and ha(
any attempt been made to carry out thei
schemes, the American people would have
taken the altitude of resistance. We hav.
since given more positive Interpretation
to the policy shadowed forth by Presiden
Monroe, and, should events demand it, tn,
people of the United States will oppose
with all their m ight, any attempt by th'
monarchial powers of Europe, to exten'
their system to any portion of the hemis
phere as dangerous to our peace and safe
ty.--Troy Budget.

For the Democrat.
THE SEASONS OF LIFE.


BY G. W. re.
In childhood's sunny years,
When all is calm and bright
No sorrows, clouds, or tears,
No guilt, no crime, no fears,
No gathering gloom to dim the light
Of STRING time.
But time rolls on-no change,
No shade rests on that brow,
For hope has whispered to the heart:
Ye shall not from the lov'd ones part.
Yes, all is bright-a Heaven below,
IT'S SUMMER time,
But years have grown apace,
That atjoyous smile is gone,
There's gloom, there's sadness in the eye
That looketh not for help on high,
And sorrow for the deeds that's done
In AUTUMN time.
But once again we turn to gaze
Upon that care worn brow,
That eye is bright with hope and love-
A hope that's given from above
A hope that in the heart dotn grow
In WINTER time.

Our MINISTER TO CENTRAL AMERICA
Mr. Lamar, our Minister to Nicarauga and
Costa Rica, has manifestly succeeded
in ingratia!ing himself with the govern
ment and people of the latter State. On
the lst of November the President of the
Republic gave him grand dinner, which.
according % the COrnica. was "mere a
testimonial of respect to one who has shown
himself so firm friend of Central Ameri-
ca and of justice, and so Jealous for the
honor and true convenience Of his own
country, rather than a compliment to
mere diplomat" Again the the Corn'ca
says: 1.-The North American Minister was
the object of the most delicate attentions,
and carried away the sympathies of all
the partakers Of the banquet. He gave
toast to the Union of Central America as
a national body, at the same time pledg-
ing the assurance that his government
would always energeticallv oppose the CHI
merical attempts of the fllibusters." 1t
was to Mr. Lamar that Gen Cass address
ed the famous dispatch last summer, in
which the Monroe doctrine was announced
as the settled policy of the United States.
