jected. Senators will have an opportunity
to consider the effect of their action to-day
1t is supposed the rejection of the Nicara-
qua treaty by the votes of nearly all the
Republican Senators, had not little in
luence on the rejection of the Mexican
treaty.
An Intellectual effort was made to remove
the injunction of secrecy, and hence the
exact state of the question cannot be par
ticularIy stated.
1t is proposed that the bill which passed
the House to-day providing for the estab-
lishment of government printing Office,
shall go into effect on the 4th Of March,

THIRD DAY.
THE PARADE.

Wednesday morning the city was arou
sed by the firing of cannon, aud at an early
hour the hurry and hustle of preparation
for the pleasures and festivities of the day
was visible on every hand. All donued
their best apparel and gayOst trappings
and the bright smiles on every hand
showed how ardent we're the anticipations
of happy time.
At 81 o'clock the procession was formed
at head quarters, and the "March began. !"
After passing through several of the
principal streets, the procession entered
the Court House Square where for some
time the Society entertained the vast
crowds who had assembled, to witness the
scene with the most enlivening and stir
ring music both vocal and instrumental
The medley of national airs, by Stro
bells Band thrilled an | enchanted all who
heard it. Yankee Doodle, in particular
was performed in a most mastery style,
and was especially applauded.
The procession was reformed and pro
ceeded to the Fair Grounds to enjoy epic
nic''
With their beautiful flags and banners
they made a grand and imposing appear
ance, and were much admired by our citi-
zens who in countless numbers had crowd
ed the sidewalks, and filled the windows
and balconies TO witness the pageant.
THE PIC MIC.
An exceeding vast multitude OF people
attended the pic mic on the Fair Grounds
of the Vigo Agricultural Society, where the
exercises were almost as various as tie
dispositions of those assembled. Speeches,
toasts, gymnastic exercises, and general
joy prevailed. Everything passed off in
good order and the utmost satisfaction.
At five o'clock in the evening the stering
strains of martial music and the boom of
cannon announced their return to the city,
all satisfied" with the days enjoyment,
and all anxious for the hour when they
might engage in the wild mazes" Of the
At National Hall which closed the
series of pleasures and festivities of the
Convention.
This was a gay and brilliant affair and
all entered into the enjoyment of it with
a zeal and zest only known TO those who
enjoy robust health and who are Injured
to vigorous healthy exercises.
Thus closed, joyously, as it opened the
third annual convention of the Saenger-
bund Association Of Indiana-an occasion
which will be long and joyously remember
ed by all in our city who witnessed it.

TaE main argument used BY the oppo-

THF main argument used by the oPpo-
nents of the Republicans, to urge them to
desist from the support of Lincoln, is, that
so many of the southernsrs declare that
they shall regard his election as sufficient
cause for secession. This. to say the least,
Is not a very effective form o: arguing
With thinking, Independent men, even if
these southern meaaces he taken in earnest.
II IS not by mere threats that men are
moved. Il requires something more than
that. They must be convinced that they
deserve TO De threatenea-lhat their cause
IS wrong-beSore they yield TO menaces.-
But when we are told that the south will
break up the Onion il the people of the
north express preference for President,
in legal and constitutional manner, and
succeed in electing him, who never uttered
a word or committed a deed which indi-
Gates desire to infringe upon the rights
of the south, OUT reply is, in the 6rst place,
that we don't believe it, and in the second
place, that il the south does attempt 50
foolish step, the responsibility is upon
the south, and not upon the North. Sup
pose, however, that we should conclUdc
that 1t is not safe to vote for Lincoln
What then ? For whom shall we vote p
For Douglas But large portion of the
men who are so Profuse with their
threats of disuuion, declare that the
election of Douglas will .be as much a
grievance in their eyes as that of Lin
coin. Shall we, then, go for Bell? five
do, We are confronted with the declaration
of the Richmond Engwrer, that if Virgiuia
goes for Bell, the cotton States will secede
without her, and, mostlameutableo of all, will
refuse to buy the negroes she raises. Well,
there is one other resort, TO vote for Breckin-
ridge. Bat then We are met by the long letter
which Mr.. Hill, Georgia politician, pub
fishes in the Savannah Republican,, and by
the assertions Of numerous southern Bell
papers, to the effect that the election of
of Bell alone will secure the continuance
of the Union. What advantage is there,
then, in supporting either of these three
candidates. We do not see why,-the
southerners themselves being judges,-it
is not just as safe to elect Lincoln as to
choose either of his rivals, Indeed,
several of the prominent men of the south
have explicitly declared that they had
rather trust him than Douglas, not that
they like his political views, but because
they have more confidence in his honesty
and straightforwarduess than in that of the
Senator from Illinois

article upon ''the way anti-slavery senti-

repreheusible practice of forcing the sub
ject of slavery into churches and literary
aud benevolent societies, where it has NO
proper place. This is but one of the mild
er methods, one of the feeblest of instru-
mentalities by which the prOfitless agite-

AT4RR unsuccessful attempt has been

with the double purpose of getting the
new loan at a low figure and of causing a
political impression unfavorable to the
Republican candidate. Not much was
accomplished in the first direction, all
though tue persistent prophecies of a
dissolution of the Union may have fright
ened away from the bidding some timid
competitors, and given to the prog bets of
ruin and their friends an opportunity to
purchase the five per cent. stock of a
dissolving government at little lower
premium than they would otherwise have
been compelled to pay. There is no test
like that of money. 1t would be a good
plan now for one of the States that threaten
dtsunion to advertise proposals for loan,
to see with what confidence and With what
eager patriotism the people would pour
out their money for the support of the
State in war upon the Union.
The prOphesies will, of course, be kept

daily dissolved in the New York Herald,
