risen 1(9l per cent. with increased activity
throughout the market The inquiry to-

readily acceied to on temporary loan. The
heavy payments falling due within the COM

soon as the disbursements of the next few
days shall have had their effect on the mar

period when preparations for the marketing
of the crops involve the withdra wal of the

employment of money may be expected,
especially as the grain movement promises
TO be unusually animated.

THAT SNAG.-There is, opposite the foot
of Walnut street, an ugly double-headed
snag, which has been thrusting itself above
the water whenever the river was low
enough, and has threatened every boat that
came within its reach with destruction.
The water is down now so that the river
monster can be decapitated. We should
think that some one would have public
spirit sufficient to induce him to take a
sharp axe and go out to the snag and cut
it down. Some boat owner ought to do it.
The snag is directly in the way of boats
going out from the landing on their way
up. An hours work now before the river
rises may be the means of saving property
and even life.

THE THEATER CoMPANY.-The Cincinnati
Dramatic Troupe after filling their engage
ment here on the Fourth, went up on the
Masonic Gem on Thursday, to visit the
Green River country. Last night they
gave an entertainment at Calhoun and
Ramsey. They take their route thence to
Bowling Green, performing at the principal
towns along the river. They are endeavor-
ing to form a circuit of the towns where
they were best received, so that they may
return periodically to amuse and entertain
admirers of theatrical spectacles at the diff
ferent places which they visit. The lovers
of such exhibitions among our citizens may
expect them here again in the course of a
few weeks.

The Douglas Democratic Conveation at
Baltimore, adopted the following resolution,
as an addition to the Charleston and Cln-
clnuati platform:
"ResOtUed, That it is in accordance with
the Cincinnati Platform that during the ex-
istence of Territorial Governments the
measure of restriction, whatever it may be,
imposed by the Federal Constitution on
the power of the Territorial Legislature,
over the subject of the domestic relations,
as the same has been or shall hereafter be
finally determined by the Supreme Court of
the United States, should be respected by
all good citizens and enforced with prompt
ness and fidelity by every branch of the
General Government"
That plank takes the vital spark out of
what little principle there ever was in +" the
Great Principle of Popular Sovereignty"
which Douglas has been harping upon for
the last six years Yet this Sc me Douglas
has directly endorsed this Supreme Court
plank, in his letter accepting the nomina-
ton upon it. His doctrine thus means SIM
ply nothing more nor less than giving the
people of the Territories popular sovereignty
with one hand, and taking away with the
other. 1t now stands openly confessed il
the face of the nation as juggle and
cheat.
Up to the present writing, the Cincinnati
Inquirer, the great Douglas-Democratic Or
gan of the West, has not published the above
resolution-adopted by its own national "
convention of the Democratic party.
Comment is unnecessary.-Cin Gin. Com.
The Evansville Enquirer, the Douglas or
gan here, has published the platform of its
party, but leaves out the above resolution
entirely. Such political lodging is worthy
the great thimble-rigger, Douglas, himself.
This attempt to hide the intense pro-slavery
character of the platform in the Free States
has only to be exposed to be despised.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ROBBERY
The robbery committed at the bouse of Mr..
Reed, on the Fourth, was in some respects,
a very singular affair, not the least remark
able feature being the exceeding boldness of
the attempt. Considering the fact that it
occurred in open daylight, when although
the family and many of the neighbors were
out at the Grove attending the celebratio NJ
the streets were still full of people, the har
diness of the robber is surprising
Mr. Combs and Messrs. Foster, the gen.
tlemen who caught him, after a chase of
about two miles succeeded in overtaking
him in the woods above town. When they
came up with him be made no resistance,
but pleasantly remarked that his pursuers
were very good runners. When they came
to examine the house they found the inside
all in the greatest disorder-furniture
overturned, closets ransacked, drawers
broken open and the contents scattered on
the foor-every thing in the widest con-
fusion. The man had on his person when
taken, four money purses and quantity of
Jewelry, and this seemed to be the kind of
booty of which he was in search.
The prisoner represents that at the time,
he was discovered in the act CT robbing the
house, and fed, there was another man, his
partner, in another part Of the house, sim
ilarly engaged who made his escape carry
ing off most of the spoils. he also stated
that they had hidden quantity Of valua-
bes under board pile near at hand, which,
as they could not be found, he thinks bis
partner must have removed.
This man, whose name is John Doyle, is
supposed to have been connected with other
recent robberiss in this place, and he was
held to bail by Justice Mcbride in the sum
of $500 on three separate indictments, in
default of which he was committed to Jail
where he will probably remain until the
Circuit Court gives him more secure an
useful berth at Jeffersonvil!e.

BRECKINRIDGE DEMONSTRATIONS AT GREEN
oAsTLE.-A gentleman from Putnam county
informs us that Breckenridge and Lane
demonstration was made at Greencastle last
week, at which considerable enthusiasm was
manifested. Judge Delain R. Eckles ad-
dressed the meeting in speech of unusual
eloquence and power. His remarks were
listened to with great interest, and with the
kentuckians of that region, will have no
little influence. He was particularly severe
upon the Douglasites who supported Breck-
inridge in 56 but abuse him in 60. Dur
ing the meeting, an old flag inscribed with
the words" Buck & Breck," was run up,
but in the process was split from one end to
the other, typical of the present condition of
the party.-Lqtayette Journal, Sd.

The "sectionaI" Democracy.

The Richmond H'hig says that " Breckin-
ridge is as much sectional candidate as
Lincoln, and is the nomn, of u thoroughly
sectional party, that is looking anxiously to
an early dissolution of the Union
To this charge, the Enquirer of this city,
the Douglas organ, remarks, "the Whig
is undoubtedly correct in that"
Now for proof of sectionalism against the
Donglasites on the authority of their
" brethren the Breck. men:
Hon. W. D. Morgan, formerly Democratic
Auditor of State in Ohio, and editor of the
Newark Advocate, gives nine reasons for
refusing to support Mr. Douglas" the first
of which is the following:
"He is not the candidate of the Democ-
racy of the whole United States, but was
nominated by a disrupted Convention, whose
elements were almost rs sectional as those
of the Convention at Chicago which, as well
as the Douglas Convention at Baltimore
contained scattering delegates from several
of the Slave States"
The Louisville Courier, Breckinridge
paper, indorses this language. -- --.
Out of their own mouths do we convict
them Now what does the charge of Sec
tionalism against the Republicans amount
to? That gun is spiked-aye, knocked
clear off it's carriage by its own gunners.
1t was an ugly implement in ls56-now it
is not to be feared.
Freedom is national-Slavery is section
Republican party-is the National party;
while the double-headed Democratic party
the slavery extending and perpetuating
party-is notoriously sectional.
