A FRANK CoNFEssIoN.-The Enquirer of
this city, in an article urging the members
of its party-'the old stand-bys"-to at
tend the State Convention, makes the fol-
lowing confession as to the dangers that
threaten its party:
1T is useless to disguise the fact that the
Democracy in Indiana are divided, both
upon Interpretation of principles and candi-
dates for the Presidency, and if one branch
of the party obtains entire control of the
Convention, and determinedly oppose the
wishes and views of others, denying them
a voice in the National Convention or their
full quota of the State ticket, it will be a
death blow to Democracy in this State"
This the Enquirer said, in view of the
overwhelming majority of Douglas dele
gates chosen to the Convention, and under
the fear that the Administration would
"stand no show" at Indianapolis on the
18th. If however, as is likely, the Admin
istration men out-general the Anti-Lecomp-
ton men, and grab all the loaves and fishes,
and leave the latter dinnerless, we shall be
anxious to know whether Democracy will
then meet with the aforesaid death-blow.
{" 1t is poor rule that won't work both
ways

When tried, its superiority every other

for the distressing and dangerous affections of the

A MISREPRESENTATION.

A correspondent of the Enquirer and
Warrick Democrat, few days ago, charged
that Mr.. Thomas F. DeBruler took part in
the deliberations of the Anti Lecompton
Democratic Convention in Spencer county.
Mr.. DeBruler, in communication to the
Rockport Democrat, of Dec. 81, says that
he is misrepresented in the matter. He did
go into the Convention as a spectator, and
it happened to be when the committees were
out and no business before the Convention.
Several persons called upon him for a
speech, as he thought, for mere pastime, and
Ia response, he, in a random, jesting man
ner, made some ironical remarks about the
ataity of the time-honored Democratic party,
etc. The whole matter was intended as a
joke, and nothing else, but the Lecomptonites
embraced the opportunity to make some po-
litical capital out of it against the Douglas
men. AS Simon Suggs would say, " they
ha' Mt made seed corn out'n it, though"
