AMERICAN
Wholesale Clothing House.

IL Clothing trade of the West was comparatively
of small amount, and was confined almost exclu-
sively to a retail business in the larger towns and
cities above. Now this line of Goods has become
an almost indispensable part Of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city 10
the roads stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these ara the great
saving of material by cutting large quantity of
garments together-the superior work and speed Of
sewing machines in manufacturng-the great saw
ing of time in waiting for your ''turn at the Tai
lors-the uncertainty of even heA getting salts
factory "fit.'' and above all the saving of at least
Oae-hdf the cost of the garment in the price For
number of years this has only been a part of our
general Dry Goods business, but we have made
arrangements to devote whole house exclu-
svely to il alone with such lines of Notions and
Furnishing Goods will be necessary and desirable
in that trade. Belle wing that the true interest Of
the trade will be to sustain in this enterprise,
would especially announce that have
on hand one of the largest and most desirable
stocks of WE'LL MADE CLOTHING that was
ever offered TO 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 nHc if ven buy
them. We are prepared to sell to all prompt thine
buyers as low any house in the trade. A liberal
discount also made for all cash sales.

The New Albany Ledger accounts for the
mistakes or misunderstanding as to the day
of holding the Democratic State Conven-
ton as follows: ca e ..ay .-..li ai-~eis
The facts in the case may DC briefly stated.
The day originally hxsd be the Central
Committee was an ineonvelient one for the
mass of the people, and the press and people
asked that it be changed. The Chairman Of
the State Central Committee, not deerning
it necessary to call the Com nittee together
for that purpose only, addressed to each
member letter OF circular, asking for an
expression of opinion as to the propriety of
making a change. A large majority agreed
that the time ought to be changed, and
named Wednesday, January lth, as an APP
propriate day. Upon ascertaining that fact
the Chairman of the Committee made out
an official notification of ii, and sent il to
the Ledger for publication, which, we take
it, he had perfect right TO do. 1t is great
ly to be regretted that the change made by
the members of the Committee does not
meet the appreciation of some distinguished
Democrats; but we presume they will
wisely conclude that what can't be helped
must be endured.

speaker in his eloquent poetical history
Modesty, perhaps, forbid him to allude to an
Administration in which he was himself an
"humble instrument "a "feeble and in
significant participator
Stranger still; in these times Of excited
discussion of popular sovereignty, of terri
torial rights, and of Douglasism, the only
mention made of Douglas by the speaker
was to inform the audience that S. A. Doug
las had, with Mr.. Benjamin and other
Southern Senators, made a good speech for
the admission of free Oregon. Douglas and
Buchanan seemed to have passed beyond the
horizon of his political view. He has per-
haps fallen into sleep Of forgetfulness OF
Lecomptonism, from which the rising sun
of Douglas will wake him one OF these
mornings, if the laundering protests OF the
anti-Lecomptonites against his nomination
don't startle and arouse him from his drow-
sy forgetfulness.
He condescended to say, in the course of
his address, that as member of Congress he
voted for the Nebraska bill on its passage,
and should be in favor of its principles in
1860; but how he had been or would be on
the subject, in the interim, he did not give
any information, though there were many
anxious listeners to hear what he had to say
on that interesting point.
His assaults upon Republicanism in this
region was beating the wind, for there is no
one to hit. 1t was amusing, however, to
hear the severest denunciations against the
Republicans for their niger proclivities and
afinities, and the expression Of an utter alb
horrence of the contamination of all social
and political association with blacks, from
a man who is member of an Administra-
ton that has just appointed a mulatto as
minister plenipotentiary on a most import
ant embassy; the best appointment, by all
odds, Notwithstanding, it has ever made.
We don't think Mr. Hendricks has secur-
ed the whole ground in the Pocket to him.
self. We advise Mr.Dunham to make ita visit
If he has any knowledge of Mr.. Buchanan
or Douglas, we would be glad to hear Of
them, and know his opinion of both these
gentlemen. AS the organ of the Lecompton-
tie Democracy, we protest against shutting
our party out of the canvass it must have
the distinct and conspicuous position it is en-
titled to in the contest, and we are resolved
its interests and wishes shall be consult
ed, or the Pocket will rebel. Remember
that " as goes the Pocket, so goes the State. u

The New Albany Ledger says it has been
ascertained by a committee appointed for
that purpose-that seven thousand persons
can be provided with comfortable accommo-
dations in the city proper during the ap-
preaching State Fair. In addition to these,
large numbers can be accommodated at the
St. Charles Hotel in Portland, one of the
finest houses in the West. Numbers of
steamboats, will be in the vicinity ready to
accommodate visitors if necessary, and LOU
isville, only four miles distant, which can
be reached in forty minutes, has as fine ac-
commodations as any city of its size in the
Union. 1t will thus be seen that there need
be no fear of a lack of accommodations for
as many thousands as may wish to attend
the approaching State Fair. -sSs.,sT 4 1, q

The following is told of Horace Vernet,
the celebrated French artist: The artist was
coming from Versailles to Paris in the cars
In the same compartment with him were two
ladies whom he had never seen before, but
who were evidently acquainted with him
They examined him very minutely and CON-
mented upon him qnite freely-upon his mar
tial bearing, his hale old age,his military pan.
falcons, ETC., etc TIE painter was annoyed,
and determined to put and end to the prose-
cution. As the train passed under the tunnel
of 81. Cloud, the travellers were wrapt in com
pete darkness Vernet raised the back Of
his hand to his mouth and kissed it violently.
On emerging from the obscurity, he found that
the ladies lad withdrawn the attention from
him and we're accusing each other of having
been kissed by man in the dark. Presently
they arrived in Paris: and Vernet on leaving
them said Ladies. shall be puzzled all my
life by the inquiry, which of these two ladies
was it that kissed me p
That is respectable which is honest and
sensible. e
There are thousands who covet not only
praise. but the reputation of despisiDg it. o.
Gray hairs, like honest friends, are often
